What did Cody Rhodes have to say about Tony Khan?

DDP opened up about the same to Fightful Select. It appears that Cody Rhodes was full of appreciation in favor of the AEW owner, Tony Khan.

DDP mentioned, “Cody called me two days before. He said, ‘Listen, I am going to tell you something. But I can only tell you so much. But I know if I don’t call you and tell you, you’re gonna want to kill me. You’ll be so pi*sed off, so I have to call and tell you that I love Tony Khan. He’s a great guy. He loves me, but we are gonna split up, and I want to go off and do something else.”
