IWGP US Champion Cody Rhodes is currently in the UK and during his time there he appeared on Fight Forever Wrestling's production of Bruce Prichard's Something To Wrestle podcast.
Responding to a fan question about returning to WWE, Rhodes noted he had "passed on the WWEoffer a few weeks ago" and felt there is a market for non-PG wrestling after the success of "All In"back in September. The Young Bucks and Rhodes' self-financed show in Chicago sold-out in a flash, and ever since there has been talk of not only an "All In 2" but a whole new All Elite Wrestling promotion.
Speaking of a follow-up to "All In," Rhodes teased, "Hypothetically, would it necessarily be 'All In 2'... or 'All In: International?" Rhodes continued about the potential of having an international show.
"There are two major territories outside of the US in terms of wrestling: the UK and Australia," Rhodes said. "If you put up a ring, they will come."
As noted, the group has already moved away from the NJPW owned, Bullet Club, now going as The Elite. Rhodes (along with Adam Page and the Young Bucks) have repeatedly reminded fans they will be free agents on January 1. For Rhodes, his contract with ROH has already finished up, but he will be wrestling in his final match at ROH Final Battle against ROH World Champion Jay Lethal.
