Cody Rhodes Explains How Avery Styles ‘Already Set Up The Fn’ Chairs’

Cody Rhodes knows what it’s like to be part of a royal family of wrestling.

Arik Cannon made headlines over the weekend when he called out Avery Styles, the son of AJ Styles, for not setting up chair when asked at a recent GCW event.

AJ responded, saying Avery was there to wrestle, not be part of the ring crew.

Cannon has not backed off his stance, recently posting photos of Cody Rhodes and Jimmy Hart helping with the ring at independent shows despite their stature in wrestling.

Rhodes responded to the photo of him helping sweep the ring by writing, “Arik my friend no shade intended, but my outlook…

“Avery is 19. His Father was paying dues and making sacrifices throughout that young man’s youth that some people may never understand. When you’re the family holding down the fort.

“To simplify…he already set up the fn’ chairs”
