Seth Rollins was recently asked about possibly facing Kenny Omega in WWE and replying to the question, the now-former Universal Champion had taken some shots at Kenny’s current home in AEW, calling the company the ‘minor leagues’.

During his recent appearance on ESPN radio, one of AEW’s top stars and EVP Cody Rhodes was asked about the comments from the former Shield member.

Replying to it, Rhodes recalled how Rollins’ first dark match in WWE was with him and discussing his comments about AEW, Cody said that he doesn’t take it personally:

“Seth is super talented, I had his first dark match in WWE, he’s a unique soul, he works his ass off when a lot of people in that company just collected checks, I don’t take it personally, that’s just a part of wrestling”.

It’s worth mentioning here that Cody himself is known to not shy away from expressing his opinion on WWE. He probably took the biggest shot of the war between the two companies when he destroyed a throne during his entrance at Double or Nothing.


Cody Rhodes is currently set to challenge Chris Jericho for the AEW World title at the Full Gear PPV on November 9th. While on the other hand, there is no word yet on what WWE is planning for Seth Rollins after he lost the Universal title to the Fiend at Crown Jewel.
