David Arquette wanted to perform in AEW

Arquette also revealed that he had a chat with the reigning Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, as he wanted to cast The American Nightmare in a film.

"I was talking to Cody Rhodes about trying to have him in the film; it was right as the AEW stuff was coming together. Yeah, I did [pitch a match]. I thought it'd be so funny, like, 'You disrespected the belt and my dad had it, and I'm going to pay him back!'" he revealed.
