Cody Rhodes Not Afraid to Defy Convention

All Elite Wrestling main eventer Cody Rhodes on Monday commented on his Fyter Fest showcase match with Darby Allin.

Rhodes tweeted that he received suggestions he should avoid another high-profile match so close to Double Or Nothing. His showdown in Vegas with his brother, Dustin Rhodes, gained universal accolades. However, Cody responded to those suggestions in his typical maverick fashion. Here’s the AEW Superstar’s tweet:

AEW Fyter Fest will take place at the Ocean Center of Daytona Beach on Saturday, June 29. Fans can stream the event for free live at BleacherReportLive.com. The “Buy In” pre-show will start at 7 p.m. EST with the show starting at 8 p.m. EST.
