Cody Rhodes Discusses Moonsault Off of a Steel Cage on AEW

AEW superstar Cody Rhodes recently spoke with Sports Illustrated, where he broke down his moonsault from the top of a steel cage on a recent episode of “Dynamite”. Rhodes attempted this maneuver against Wardlow to get a shot at MJF at the upcoming “Revolution” pay-per-view.

Here are some highlights from the interview:

On why he attempted the moonsault:

“That’s what I bring,” said Rhodes. “Matt and Nick [Jackson] introduced a new style of tag team psychology. Kenny Omega provides an absolutely different way of doing wrestling that is really important to the evolution of wrestling. Hangman is a big run-and-gun heavyweight. My strength is plugging into the wrestling I grew up on, from the late ’80s to the early ’90s and even farther back. That style was a little bit more disciplined, a little bit more deliberate, and I compliment those guys by doing that.

On what Tony Khan thought of the idea:

“I thought about it all day. Tony Khan was adamant that I didn’t do it. I’ve never seen a boss like him and how he leads, and the way he cares about his investments. Too many people were trying to talk me out of it. Typically, I’m by the ‘Go position’ during our show, but I stayed away.”

On his feud with MJF:

“There is a pure evil to Max,” said Rhodes. “He’s unlike anyone who I’ve ever encountered in pro wrestling. I don’t think anyone knows the real Max. He lives in Long Island with his family, and I think they’re the only people, when that door closes, that know who Max really is. His commitment is incredible.”

“Max talks about how I held him down, and that genuinely hurts. Now he’s in the big spotlight, in the second main event of a show in a sold-out arena, and we’ll see what he can do.”

They also discuss his favorite episode of “Dynamite,” the promo that he cut after the show was over and more.
