Cody Rhodes Says Chelsea Green Was The First Person To Ask ‘What Do You Want?’ For All In

In 2018, Cody Rhodes and the Young Bucks (Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson) put together the biggest independent show in history: All In.

The show featured one women’s match pitting Tessa Blanchard against Dr. Britt Baker, Chelsea Green, and Madison Rayne.

Green joined Cody on the latest episode of “What Do You Want To Talk About?” and she named All In, referred to both on the podcast as “an Indie Show” as the second best moment of her career behind her WWE Women’s Title victory at WWE SummerSlam.

Cody: “I’ve struggled on this podcast on having to let go of a portion of my career that I don’t think it helps me to let go of. I would like to remember that and discuss it. We’re being very careful with the words we’re using and how we’re talking about it, but that was an indie show that was made by us, for them. Fans for fans. I’m glad we can talk about this because one of the things that was really exciting for me that day, and it meant a lot, was you were the first person that came to me and asked me what I wanted. I remember thinking, ‘No shit. I have to give her an answer.’ We had given matches designations, but I remember thinking, ‘What a dream to be able to impart a slight bit of vision. Oh, this is what we’d like.’ I never forgot that day. Stephanie [McMahon] asked me if I had any interest in doing this, and I think a part of me, that interest got killed. But also, it’s under there.”

Chelsea: “How could it not be? That was the most magical show in the whole world.”

Cody: “Even the day that the producers couldn’t make it to the WWE live event and Hidalgo. ‘Oh, you need someone to help produce the show, huh?’ Seth and I produced that show. It was one of those things where I wish I was able to be more forthcoming about how much I have a love of creativity and ideas for other people. I have a better idea for another person.”

Chelsea: “Me too.”

Cody: “You were the first person, and then the floodgates kind of opened.”

Chelsea: “I still have the match in my phone on my notes app. I wrote it on the way to the indie show. I got there and texted the girls, ‘I have an idea. I think this could be around a 12 minute match. Do you want to meet and go over it?’ They loved it. I don’t know if there is one part of what I wrote out that they changed. When I went to you, and we were speaking about it, I was so proud. ‘Finally, I feel like it’s clicked.'”

Cody: “Your idea was one where it was like, ‘Sounds good.'”

Chelsea: “Yeah, I was like, ‘This is the vision we have,’ when I’m calling the match to you, and you’re like, ‘Okay, perfect.’ Everything went off without a hitch. It was such a magical moment. The girls all came together. There are always things you want to change because we’re perfectionists, but that was a pretty good second to SummerSlam.”

AEW now owns the “All In” property, turning it into their biggest show of the year.
