In the Arena:
Cody heads out to the ring and joins Tony Schiavone for his announcement.
Tony Schiavone welcomes Cody Rhodes out to the ring. Schiavone points out that Charlotte is where Cody was literally born and then turns his attention to the announcement that Cody was going to make a few weeks ago when The Inner Circle interrupted him.
Rhodes says that the arrival of The Inner Circle has been blunt and strategic. “They have taken a scalpel to The Elite,” Cody said. Cody says that’s fine because The Elite have been looking for the type of competition that can hang with them.
Rhodes says he’s about to make an important announcement in regards to his career but then he starts rattling off some legendary names in wrestling – like his father – and he says that those names have all been controversial because they were not only legendary wrestlers but were executives, as well.
“When I hear the same criticism attached to my name for being in a title match and also being management, I can’t not hear it,” Cody continued. “With that said, I am announcing that if I do not defeat Chris Jericho at ‘Full Gear’ I will never challenge for the AEW World Championship again.”
Cody says that Jericho has called him an “entitled millennial bitch” but Cody points out how Jericho was raised by a professional hockey player and calls him hypocritical for his criticisms of Cody being “entitled.”
“You call me entitled but I call you a carnie succubus,” Cody said. “This isn’t about the dead, it’s about the living. IT’S ABOUT MY MOTHER, IT’S ABOUT MY SISTER, IT’S ABOUT MY WIFE. IT’S ABOUT THE 14 GODDAMN YEARS IT TOOK ME TO GO FROM UNDESIREABLE TO UNDENIABLE! At Full Gear I beat you and become the World Champion as you fall back into your Inner Circle.”
Cody teases that The Inner Circle and the entire Elite will battle at some point and it will be “a match beyond.”
