While speaking to Justin Barasso of Sports Illustrated, Cody Rhodes talked about his legacy in pro wrestling. Rhodes stated that he does not want his legacy to sole to be that he started AEW.

“I don’t want my wrestling legacy solely to be that I helped start an alternative wrestling company. I’m really proud of that and I want it to be part of my legacy, but what I’ve always wanted is what I’m after right now. I’m getting a second chance at that, and that is my entire focus. I want to do this for my whole family. My wife, my daughter, my sister Teil, my mom. If I can’t hand this title to my dad, it would be wonderful to hand it to my mom.”
