Cody Rhodes landed a few shots on Triple H in the latest episode of AEW’s The Road To Double or Nothing Youtube series.
In episode 14, Cody made his first public comments about older brother Dustin being his opponent at Double or Nothing on May 25th. As seen below Cody cuts an incredible promo to hype the match. Cody bills this contest as ‘generation vs. generation’ and declares that he’s here to kill the Attitude Era. His generation of wrestlers have always been compared to the stars of the 1990’s and he thinks that’s an utter sham. He admits the 90’s stars paved the way, but says they they “set the speed markers at 35” because they’re terrified of he and his peers “putting their foot down on the pedal.”
Earlier this month, Triple H took a few shots at All Elite Wrestling during DX’s WWE Hall of Fame induction. He referred to them as a “pissant” company and said their four Executive Vice Presidents gave themselves fancy titles just to seem important.
Cody fired back at Triple H in this promo, referring to The Game as a “pissant bodybuilder” who can’t keep up with the likes of Kenny Omega and IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada. He also name dropped CM Punk, a free agent whose name has been coming up more frequently lately by AEW executives.
Cody asked, “You mean to tell me some pissant bodybuilder making every match a ‘No DQ,’ meandering around the crowd, throwing the jib cam at his opponent compares with a Kenny-Okada match? Or some bra and panties spectacular can match up with what the women did last September 1st? Or even Dwayne—as electric as it was—rhyming and raising. Was it really better than what Punk said sitting on that stage?”
