Cody and Brandi Rhodes live in Atlanta and could likely appear as well. Brandi doubts Cody knows how to get to the venue, however.
I don’t think you know where we live hun. ?

The Young Bucks On Independent Wrestling Event Appearances

Matt Jackson On OWE Partnership
Matt Jackson recently took the time to speak on AEW’s partnership with Oriental Wrestling Entertainment (OWE).
“Immediately when I saw a couple of GIFs of the OWE guys on Twitter, I was attracted,” he said. “So, I looked up more clips and did research on them. I quickly learned my old friend CIMA, who I’d made friends with years ago in Japan, was affiliated with them. That made sense right away, because the clips I watched had a real Dragon Gate feel to it.”
He continued, “Yet still, it looked and felt so original. Like a fight scene from an old Kung fu movie. I knew I’d one day work with these guys right away. I’m attracted to anything out of the ordinary.”
