Cody Rhodes Talks Sting’s Retirement, Jey Uso as a Partner – Cody Rhodes and Sting shared the ring in a talking segment on the December 9, 2020 episode of AEW Dynamite, but they never faced off during their time together in AEW.
Speaking with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Cody Rhodes commented on Sting’s looming retirement. He repeated his past comments about how he was set to face Sting before he left AEW. Rhodes also commented Sting for his remarkable career.
“The last match I was offered in AEW was that match. It wasn’t confirmed or anything like that, but just the little I had to do with his debut there is a wonderful memory. I was a little Stinger. Maybe I’ll pull out a Stinger Splash in his honor. Seriously, cheers to a wonderful career,” Rhodes said.
In the same interview, Cody briefly commented on his pairing with Jey Uso.
“Jey has been a superb teammate. I need to ask him what inning we are in,” Rhodes said.
In recent weeks, Rhodes has been feuding with Damian Priest, and he beat the powerhouse in a singles match at WWE Crown Jewel. “The American Nightmare” praised the Judgment Day member’s in-ring skills and called him a rare breed.
“With big men, it’s always their ability–or lack of–to ‘do both.’ He has the height and reach and power, but he is also deadly quick. A rare breed. Don’t like him, but certainly respect him and his continued gains,” Rhodes said.
