Rhodes saw the message on social media, and he replied, “I could buy a bunch of popcorn or I could just tell ya’. I’ve got your tickets and hotels You’re going to WrestleMania 40!”.

AEW star reveals Cody Rhodes’ amazing gesture
Ethan Page is currently signed to All Elite Wrestling and is best known for his tag team partnership with Josh Alexander as The North. He recently revealed a story between him and Cody Rhodes that happened at the All In Pay Per View in 2018.
In an interview in the Bragman Breakdown, Page said, “I don’t know if this is officially confirmed or not, so I don’t know how clickbaity this will be. I’m 99% sure…I’m pretty sure Cody paid me out of pocket. Ultimately, my payment came from his name to my PayPal, so I’m pretty sure I was hand-selected by my friend to get this opportunity”.
Page also said, “Ironically, when I was signing with AEW, he told me that he wouldn’t, because he didn’t want me to be a friend hire, and that’s how I started my career. I respected that. He’s always had my back, and I appreciate him putting me in that because it was such a huge spotlight.”
Page also revealed that Rhodes refused to sign him in AEW, and Page respected the decision as he didn’t want to be hired as a friend. Later on, Page joined AEW in 2021. Rhodes made his comeback to WWE in 2022, while Page is still dominating the AEW roster.
