“His Way of Putting Over”: 27-Year-Old AEW “Prodigy” Opines on Cody Rhodes’ Desire of Seeing Him in WWE

Ever since Cody Rhodes returned to the WWE at WrestleMania 38, he’s been on a mission. This was not only to be the best version of himself but also to help others. After playing a key part in establishing a rival promotion, Rhodes has been putting stars over in AEW and WWE. However, despite returning to Vince’s Playground, Rhodes is still putting over AEW stars.

Recently, Rhodes commented on the prospect of the current AEW Champion plying his trade in the Stamford-based promotion. Despite working for the WWE, his words did not reflect the animosity between the two companies.

MJF replies to Cody Rhodes wanting to see him in the WWE

MFJ, or Maxwell Tyler Friedman, is one of the most captivating and over figures in AEW. His mic skills and in-ring performances have helped him gain a large following. He is the current AEW World Champion and also the longest reigning champion in AEW history since his win on November 19, 2022.

While Rhodes was on the YESNetwork’s The Michael Kay Show, he talked about seeing MJF in the WWE. Rhodes claimed that he would love to see it, as the AEW star would thrive in the company. These positive words didn’t go unheard as MJF acknowledged the statement and gave his reaction.

MJF featured on the Episode 474 of SportsIllustrated and gave his opinion on this. He said, “In Cody Rhodes’ mind and opinion, that was his way of putting over a friend, a prodigy, a former coworker, former protege.” Rhodes has been a mentor and the person who recruited MJF to AEW. This line shows the respect MJF has for his former co-worker.

Rhodes did a lot for the pro wrestling business by creating AEW after leaving the WWE. This not only brought a breath of fresh air to the industry but also gave released wrestlers a new home.

Rhode reveals who MJF could face in the WWE

One of the reasons why Rhodes believes MJF would be great in the WWE is his physical growth. Unlike AEW, WWE has a ton of big guys like Brock Lesnar and Drew McIntyre.

These are the two names that Rhodes claimed MJF would have to face. With his physical growth, Rhodes claimed that MJF would have no issue dealing with the competition in the WWE.
