"The American Nightmare" began his transition to "The American Dream" with an epic promo on this past Wednesday night's episode of AEW Dynamite on TNT.
Although not everyone agrees.
Cody Rhodes took to social media on Saturday to comment on the negative reaction the passionate promo has garnered, responding to one fan who labeled it, "the worst promo in the history of the promotion."
The AEW Executive Vice President wrote the following in response to the criticism via his official Twitter feed.
"And some say it’s the absolute best in modern history. I don’t even consider it a promo, because it was real. As always w/me. And the discourse/discussion is what makes wrestling beautiful. It’s not easy in 2021 being proud of American heritage - warts and all, but I am. Very."
