On his latest Grilling JR podcast, Hall of Famer Jim Ross
said that he reached out to Cody Rhodes after he won the
Undisputed WWE title to congratulate him.
“I sent him a text on Monday morning, I let things settle
down,” Ross said. “He got back to me on Tuesday.”
The AEW commentator continued, “I just said…you know, I’m
proud of you, be the leader that WWE needs. I love you.”
Ross said that Cody responded with a text writing, “I did it
cowboy,” revealing that’s what he used to call him when they
worked together because of his cowboy hat.
JR was one of AEW’s first hires when Cody was an EVP for the
company back in 2019.
