Is Arn teasing the fans or is he being serious? It seems the popular indie star’s presence is something that both Arn Anderson and Cody Rhodes are aware of, and now that Arn has mentioned his name, it will only increase Warhorse’s pressure to get into not only an AEW ring, but inside Cody’s head, until the match finally happens.
