AEW catches the attention of Congresswoman for NY-14 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
During last night's AEW Double or Nothing media scrum, Cody Rhodes commented on diversity in All Elite Wrestling.
?Well, I?m in an interracial marriage and I?ve learned a lot that I would?ve never known. One time I told Brandi, I said ?I don?t see color? and she said ?well you don?t see my experience.? And I thought ?oh, you?re right, I can?t just say that.? You need to be able to see that experience and at least understand it. The old territory system of ?just one,? and a lot of folks may remember that, that?s gone. That?s out, the best wrestlers are gonna field the game and that?s a very diverse profile and I?m really proud of it.?
Cody's comments caught the attention of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Cody and AEW have been open about being an all-inclusive promotion, not only for wrestlers but for fans at well. Earlier this year, they issued a statement encouraging fans of all races, religions, and sexual orientations to come together. You can view their statement by clicking here.
