Talking to Outkick on FOX News, former WWE champion Cody
Rhodes paid tribute to Andy Williams, the AEW star known as
The Butcher, who sadly passed away at the age of 48 this
past weekend.
Rhodes was involved in The Butcher’s and The Blade’s debut
on Dynamite back in 2019 when the tag team jumped Rhodes in
the middle of the ring.
“When I was away from WWE, I actually, him and Blade and
Bunny, we had recruited them to do this really fun debut. He
came up under the ring and they beat me up, and I definitely
didn’t get to spend near enough time with him as a person,”
Rhodes said.
Rhodes described Williams as super cultured and intelligent
and if you had judged the book by its cover, you wouldn’t
know how “truly special, intelligent, artistic, and
beautiful of a person that he was.”
While not spending enough time with him, Rhodes said he was
glad to be part of a team that brought him in and to be part
of that debut moment.
“I told Brandi about that this morning and just such a
shock, so young. Beautiful person, and he leaves behind
multiple locker rooms of people that he touched, that all of
them 100 percent have a good memory and a good story about
him,” Rhodes concluded.
