News Roundup: Braun Strowman spotted with former WWE star, Vince McMahon offered current AEW star a backstage role

#1. Dutch Mantell's take on AEW fans booing Cody Rhodes

AEW star Cody Rhodes has been relentlessly booed by fans since his return, after taking time off to film his reality show. It was the same case on Dynamite earlier in the week, with fans in attendance booing Rhodes. Fans even sent back his weight belt after The American Nightmare threw it into the crowd.

Speaking on Spotskeeda Wrestling's SmackTalk, Dutch Mantell gave his take on the situation. Mantell said that if he was Cody Rhodes, he would be very happy with the reaction he was getting from fans. The wrestling legend went on to explain why:

"If I was Cody I'd be delighted because they did they work for me. Now I just gotta go out there and look around. Now you just gotta go out there and give them a genuine reason to dislike you and you're off and running. If he turned on an over babyface like Hangman Page or Orange Cassidy , they would hate him," said Dutch Mantell.
