The AEW EVP Cody Rhodes recently got involved in a Twitter war with a fan on Tuesday.
A fan addresses AEW as abomination and Cody Rhodes fires back
The fan had originally responded to a tweet from FITE TV, which posted a link to the replay of All In, calling the PPV the “wrestling event that started it all.”
The fan replied:
“Ah yes, the start of the crime that has been perpetrated on professional wrestling. This birthed the abomination that is AEW. A dark day indeed.”

Rhodes then spoke about the event and mentioned how ‘All In’ marked the day that “bettered the wrestling economy.”
Rhodes wrote, “I mean this day bettered the wrestling economy and QOL standards for an entire industry, so no matter which way you shake it…a great day in our history. (Not unlike the days Dream had those 3 initials on your mask white hot and fans got better wrestling and the boys got rich).”
The fan then wondered if AEW benefits the overall industry or just “the Bucks SoCal friends and Rhodes responded to that as well.
He wrote:
“It’s already been seen. Every company has had to up their financial commitment, duration, and QOL elements in their contracts.
“Wrestlers and their families like to eat and expand their target audience from 1 promoter to millions of fans.”
They carried out their argument for few more Tweets.

It’s already been seen. Every company has had to up their financial commitment, duration, and QOL elements in their contracts.
Wrestlers and their families like to eat and expand their target audience from 1 promoter to millions of fans.
It’s the best time to be a fan.
