Cody's announces weekly open challenge
Cody was out with Arn Anderson with the brand new TNT Championship. Double A went to the back as Cody made his way to the ring.
Tony Schiavone congratulated Cody on his TNT Championship victory and asked him a question about the moment. Cody took the mic and went on to cut an exceptional promo.
He compared himself to Tom Brady as a guy who wasn't the first pick, or even the second pick. He worked hard since the age of 21 to get to where he was and people who call his story one of nepotism need to stand up and take notice of his work ethic.
Cody announced that he will take up the most rigorous schedule in wrestling - he will show up every week and issue an open challenge for the TNT title.
He said that it was his obligation to give the fans nothing but the best during the pandemic era of professional wrestling. It was a solid promo as always from Cody.
