All Elite Wrestling EVP Cody Rhodes recently responded to a Twitter user, who put up a sarcastic tweet hinting that Rhodes isn't grateful for what WWE did for him. The tweet indicated that even though WWE paid for Rhodes' training, paid him a lot of money, "allowed him" to meet his future wife, and allowed the duo to quit, he still bears ill will towards the promotion. Rhodes noticed the tweet and posted a response to the same.

Rhodes said that he has often praised WWE in the past. He added that he just gave WWE the rights to use Dusty Rhodes' name for the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. Check out the exchange below:

Ever since AEW came into being, both WWE and AEW have taken jibes at each other on various occasions. Triple H took a shot at AEW at the Hall of Fame induction ceremony back in April. Rhodes hit back by putting up an elaborate entrance at AEW's Double Or Nothing event, which saw him destroy a throne with a sledgehammer. There have been instances though, where Rhodes heaped praise on WWE, and recently made a wholesome statement directed towards Triple H.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
