Cody’s response frustrated Taz, which caused him to lash out at Cody and berated him on how he runs AEW. Cody did not take kindly to that and dropped a massive truth bomb on Taz.

“Answer me this: Your son Hook is training to be a pro wrestler right? Well, why isn’t he training with you, but with me?”
