    Cody Rhodes Referenced In BTE 4 Years After AEW Exit

    The Elite remember Cody Rhodes.

    The latest episode of Being The Elite gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at Team Jericho’s incredible Double or Nothing entrance for their Stadium Stampede match. One of the scenes in the entrance video showed Kenny Omega smoking a cigar.

    The Cleaner who had never smoked a cigar in his life before, talked about his experience in the video. Kenny Omega said that the cigar tasted like tree sap but it made him feel like the coolest kid in town. The former AEW Champion then remembered a former member of the Elite who was all about cigars:

    “We once had a member of the Elite that was all about cigars. I just feel like there’s a hole in my heart.”

    Cody Rhodes is a known cigar connoisseur who has talked about his love for a good smoke on many occasions. The Undisputed WWE Champion was even featured on the cover of the April 2026 edition of Cigar Aficionado magazine.

    A founding member of All Elite Wrestling, Cody left the promotion in February 2022 and returned to WWE at WrestleMania 38 a couple of months later. Rhodes has made cryptic comments about his departure from the company including claims that he felt disrespected but he has not revealed the full story.

  • Young Bucks Reveal Scrapped \’Evil EVP\’ AEW Storyline

    The Young Bucks have revealed original plans for the \’Evil EVP\’ angle in AEW, including jokes and segments that were ultimately scrapped. The storyline would have featured the AEW production team ribbing the brothers after they lost their EVP titles.

    The \’Evil EVP\’ era concluded at AEW All In: Texas. After they lost their EVP titles, the Young Bucks became frequent targets of AEW’s production team.

    The production crew ribbed The Young Bucks with parody t-shirts, altered entrances, and theme music. The Young Bucks shared some of their favorite jokes from that time on Being the Elite.

    \”There was a few that we actually didn’t end up doing that would have been so much more funny. Like, we wanted to do an episode where we lost our travel bag and maybe production was the reason being. And we would have to go up to the gear makers, the seamstresses, and have them make us something the day of a Dynamite. And let’s just say the outfit would probably be the most ridiculous outfit possible. That would have been unbelievable, but we just didn’t have time to get to it.\” Nick Jackson

    One planned joke involved The Young Bucks losing their travel bag and having to get ridiculous outfits made the day of Dynamite. Due to time constraints, the segment was ultimately scrapped.
