And after his sensational move to WWE last year, Peacock is set to release a documentary about Cody Rhodes. It will not only show Cody Rhodes filming for BTE, but it will also feature his former friends with whom he worked. AEW stars Kenny Omega and Young Bucks will feature in The American Nightmare’s Documentary. This is exciting for wrestling fans and it leaves the door open for possible future collaborations with AEW.

It was noted by pro wrestling journalist Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful that BTE footage is in Rhodes’ documentary and Peacock and WWE were allowed to use it by The Young Bucks.

As fans know, there is a professional rivalry between WWE and AEW, but to see both companies come together to better chronicle the time of one of wrestling hottest stars in the modern era will delight the fans. WWE being okay with featuring talents from rival company in one of their key projects gives hope to the fans that they see more such incidents in the future.
