During a recent interview with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Cody Rhodes discussed his steel cage match against Wardlow on last week’s AEW Dynamite episode on TNT.
During the match, Rhodes hit a moonsault off the top of the cage onto Wardlow. Rhodes revealed that Tony Khan tried talking him out of doing the spot.
“The cage has to be lowered, that was my rule,” said Rhodes. “So I ended up with the highest cage I could possibly get, and that cost me. I’m terrified of heights. That’s why my eyes are closed.
“I thought about it all day. Tony Khan was adamant that I didn’t do it. I’ve never seen a boss like him and how he leads, and the way he cares about his investments. Too many people were trying to talk me out of it. Typically, I’m by the ‘Go position’ during our show, but I stayed away.”
