Cody Rhodes Says Brandi Rhodes Had Pitched The Idea Of AEW Media Scrums

When Cody Rhodes returned to WWE at WrestleMania 38, he held a media scrum following his return to answer questions about being back in WWE and more.

AEW has held media scrums following major events since their inception, and WWE has made them a regular thing since Cody's return in 2022.

Speaking to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful at the premiere of his documentary "American Nightmare: Becoming Cody Rhodes," Cody was credited for bringing the scrums to WWE.

“Brandi actually was responsible for that at AEW, and I was so glad when I told Adam Hopkins, who isn't at WWE anymore, but I told him, after Mania, 'do it. Set it up. I bet they’d come.' Then we were able to have a beautiful turnout for that," said Cody.

Cody has been part of the majority of post-show press conferences since returning to WWE. After talent appears and answers questions, Triple H takes questions from the media, much the same way Tony Khan takes questions at AEW media scrums.

American Nightmare: Becoming Cody Rhodes premieres on Peacock on July 31.
