Announcer Kevin Kelly gives his thoughts on “the one spot AEW has yet to fill”
Prior to the 2024 WWE Money in the Bank PLE, Cody Rhodes made headlines for helping a disabled fan that was initially denied contest tickets for the event. In posts via Twitter/X, former AEW announcer Kevin Kelly wrote the following about AEW…
“The one spot AEW has yet to fill is the one Cody Rhodes held down. He wasn’t just the top guy but he was the face of the company. THE Goodwill Ambassador. Ticket issue? Special request? Cody took care of it. Talent comes and goes but replacing Cody means so much more.”
“IMO, the [Young] Bucks and Kenny [Omega] needed to immediately after Cody left but for some reason, they chose not to.”
Kelly also said that Will Ospreay is the “closest” of anyone to filling the role at this point.
The one spot @AEW has yet to fill is the one @CodyRhodes held down. He wasn’t just the top guy but he was the face of the company. THE Goodwill Ambassador. Ticket issue? Special request? Cody took care of it. Talent comes and goes but replacing Cody means so much more.
