Wrestlezone’s own Bill Pritchard had the chance to speak with Cody Rhodes during the AEW Double or Nothing post-show media scrum and asked him about the design of the TNT Championship.
Cody said, “Well the part that is the most special is the mansion. It’s Ted’s. If you have driven by Techwood and saw the studios, it has Sam Linsky and Bret and Kevin Riley and all of these wonderful individuals who have believed in us and have given us this new home. The guy hand-painted it.”
When talking about the actual design of the title, Cody said, “I know Tony has already told you all this already so it’s not breaking news but this isn’t even the final belt. The actual silver-plated title which has the shine finish and the extra details, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we don’t have it here. We will have it, maybe as soon as this week’s Dynamite.”
Cody said he is emotional and thinks it is the coolest thing he has ever seen, and had thoughts about perhaps keeping the one he was presented instead of the final one.
