Rhodes unceremoniously left WWE in 2016 to make a name for himself on the independent wrestling scene. His popularity soared when he joined the AEW in 2019 as a performer and in an executive role. While at AEW, he also worked for a YouTube series called Being The Elite (BTE), which featured members of The Elite, Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks, and Adam Hangman Page. Rhodes also featured in many of the BTE segments.
And after his sensational move to WWE last year, Peacock is set to release a documentary about Cody Rhodes. It will not only show Cody Rhodes filming for BTE, but it will also feature his former friends with whom he worked. AEW stars Kenny Omega and Young Bucks will feature in The American Nightmare’s Documentary. This is exciting for wrestling fans and it leaves the door open for possible future collaborations with AEW.
It was noted by pro wrestling journalist Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful that BTE footage is in Rhodes’ documentary and Peacock and WWE were allowed to use it by The Young Bucks.
Cody Rhodes confirmed to me that BTE footage is in his documentary, and that Matt and Nick Jackson allowed it.
