For months, Flip Gordon<\/strong>, one of Ring of Honor<\/strong>‘s fastest rising stars and so-called associate of the Bullet Club<\/strong>, has tried everything in his power to get booked at All In<\/strong><\/em>. He’s asked (many, many times), created a hashtag (#BookFlip) and accompanying merch, and even showed up at the All In press conference, disguised as a reporter from a Flat Earth publication. His efforts resulted in him going through a table.<\/p>\n

No matter what Gordon did, he still couldn’t get that elusive third vote because as Cody<\/strong> put it bluntly on an episode of Being the Elite<\/strong><\/em>, “my character hates your f***in’ guts.”<\/p>\n

But, that doesn’t mean that Cody is completely heartless. While he won’t give Flip Gordon a free pass to be a part of the now sold out All In, Cody has offered the 26-year-old, former member of the U.S. National Guard, an opportunity to earn his way onto the show, with a concept known as “Cody’s Golden Tickets.”<\/p>\n

Alongside a partner of his choosing, Cody’s Golden Tickets would allow Flip Gordon one final opportunity to get booked for the indy mega show. If Gordon and his partner win, they’ll be All In. If they lose, the team of MJF<\/strong> and Madison Rayne<\/strong>, who were chosen in the random lottery drawing, will take those two spots instead. According to Cody, there is only one stipulation for who Gordon chooses as a partner: it has to be a female wrestler.<\/p>\n

Of course, given Flip Gordon’s kayfabe crush on Cody’s wife, Brandi Rhodes<\/strong>, it would have seemed likely that she would have been his choice, if only to carry through some ongoing BTE angles. But Rhodes recently underwent surgery for an injured collarbone and will not be able to wrestle by June. Plus, she is already All In so this way, another female talent will get a chance to earn their spot. Fans have already thrown around some names including Tenille<\/strong>, Kelly Klein<\/strong>, Ivelisse<\/strong>, Allie<\/strong> and even AJ Lee<\/strong> (which if that happens will only fuel the “CM Punk<\/strong> is All In” rumors). Some wrestlers, like Rebel<\/strong>, have even offered their partnership services.<\/p>\n
