Cody Says Pat McAfee Is Trying To Get A Job At AEW Every Other Day

Cody Rhodes reveals that Pat McAfee is trying to jump ship on over to AEW. He stated that Pat has been trying to get a job within AEW every single day.

Rhodes did a media call today to promote tonight's AEW Dynamite show where is is teaming with Red Velvet to take on Shaq and Jade Cargill.

After Shaq said that his match against Cody and Red Velvet will top every celebrity pro wrestling match, McAfee chimed in to disagree with this statement. This is when Rhodes went on to comment about Pat. He says that McAfee has been trying to get a job in AEW every other day.

"I think… I didn’t see this particular comment, especially from Pat, which is super bizarre because… just bizarre because I’m pretty sure Pat’s trying to get a job at AEW like every other day, but that’s another conversation.

I like that Shaq made that comment. I stand by that comment myself, I’d make the same one because you have to continue to raise the bar and you can’t do… there’s a lot of old veteran wrestlers who have these opinions on how you’re supposed to do a celebrity match. My opinion is this… you have to wrestle. If you’re showing up for a wrestling match, you have to wrestle. It can’t be, ‘Oh, they’re not from our world, they shouldn’t be able to lock up.’

None of that. Shaq trained. I never trained with him but he trained for this, so I anticipate he’s going to know his way around the ring, to a degree. Now he doesn’t have the experience that I have for sure, but if he did train, we’re talking about a multiple-time world champion in the NBA, we’re talking about a former MVP. That athleticism is once in a lifetime athleticism, which is where I would be confident in saying, hopefully is the best celebrity match of all-time, because if he did train, and he is the man we know as Shaq, then by all means, I hope we can set a new standard and raise that bar, and not only set a new standard, but perhaps give a different outlook on what a celebrity or crossover type match should be.”
