Ahead of Sunday's AEW Double or Nothing, Cody Rhodes spoke to the media for nearly an hour Thursday afternoon, answering direct questions about rumors of in-fighting, his "focus group" comment as relates to his recent promo and more.
Rhodes denied any in-fighting rumors among himself, the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega, saying he communicates with them every day. He insinuated some hard feelings among WWE/NXT fans on moving to Tuesdays may be fueling those rumors.
Rhodes also walked back saying he used a "focus group" for his recent promo for his match against Anthony Ogogo Sunday. He said there is no focus group and he used the term wrong.
He reiterated that he won't challenge for the AEW World title as it's important to him, the fans, and the AEW brand to stand by his promises.
He said the TNT title will remain even after the move to TBS, but that another title is imminent, hinting at the much-discussed Trios titles.
Rhodes also discussed the Ogogo feud, his promo process, the excitement about performing in front of a live audience, avoiding oversaturation as a brand, and more.
