Wrestling fans may one day get their wish to see a crossover between WWE and AEW, according to Cody Rhodes.
"There's no reason that there couldn't be a potential WWE crossover one day. And I don’t mean that's a thing that's been discussed or happening, but none of those rules that exist for other places exist for us," Rhodes told the New York Post. "Wrestling is really this universal industry. The territory reference that you made, that's fairly accurate, but the part of it that's most accurate was there was a genuine trust."
The discussion of a WWE/AEW crossover came up when Rhodes was asked about the influx of talent from NWA, Impact and New Japan Pro-Wrestling. Recent episodes of AEW Dynamite have included talent from these promotions, with AEW champion Kenny Omega reuniting with his former Bullet Club members Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson.
"I think of All In itself. All In is a show that ROH (Ring of Honor) helped us with that Matt (Jackson), Nick (Jackson), myself did all the work for outside of that initial production element and the reason it was important that the three of us do it was we were able to let all these old rules go away," Rhodes said. "That's a very dangerous and powerful precedent to set if you literally do put down all the bridges and you do put down all the doors. Again, this is all hypothetical, but there is no reason AEW couldn't work with New Japan. We're aware of the world outside. Bullet Club is a big part of our blood in AEW. So there's no reason we couldn’t work with New Japan. There's no reason Jacob Fatu couldn't take a step over from MLW and stand across the ring from me."
AEW Dynamite airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on TNT.
