Cody Rhodes says there’s a number of people who could work as the face of AEW, and counts Darby Allin among them. Rhodes spoke with Josh Martinez for Superstar Crossover and was asked during the interview if Allin could become the face of AEW.
“The answer is a guaranteed ‘yes,'” Rhodes said (h/t to Wrestling Inc). “But don’t let Darby fool you, he was never insecure and he was never not confident. Darby is almost overconfident. Absolutely, 100%, could potentially be the person, but that spot is available to far more people than we think. In every company, everyone thinks it’s about, ‘Oh, it’s the politics, it’s about who you know.’ There’s a degree of that in everything, sure, but it’s so much more fair than you think.”
He continued, “He certainly shouldn’t be remotely in doubt on whether he could do that or not, but also the stupid climbing mountains and getting hit by buses, you can’t be the face of the company if you’re not relied upon. You can’t wrestle anybody if you’re in a body cast, so that’s dumb … but I say that with love.”
Allin recently had an AEW World Championship shot, but lost it to Jon Moxley who will battle Bryan Danielson at AEW WrestleDream.
