It was recently reported that Cody has been working as a free agent in All Elite Wrestling since his contract expired a few weeks ago. This has led fans to wonder if the former Intercontinental Champion could be a surprise entrant in this year’s Men’s Royal Rumble match.
Booker T shared his views on the same topic while speaking on the latest episode of his podcast, Hall of Fame. The former WCW Champion stated that Cody Rhodes, appearing at Royal Rumble, that too under the Stardust gimmick, wouldn’t happen in a “million years.”
Moreover, he added that he doesn’t see anyone from AEW working in the WWE premium live event. Booker T also pointed out that Cody disliked the Stardust character so much that he left WWE in 2016 when the promotion refused to drop the gimmick.
Booker T also thinks AEW veteran Chris Jericho could get booed at Royal Rumble.
A few days back, the WWE Hall of Famer made a bold prediction about former AEW Champion Chris Jericho possibly getting booed at Royal Rumble if he appeared at the event.
Booker T believes the hardcore WWE fanbase may not give Jerich a warm welcome, booing him out of the park at the January 29th show.
Whether or not any AEW stars show up at the annual 30-man Battle Royal, it’s safe to say things have gotten quite exciting thanks to WWE finally breaking down the ‘forbidden door."
