Britt Baker Says MJF Felt Cody Rhodes Was Trying To Steal His Thunder At The Time With Neck Tattoo

Britt Baker recalls Cody Rhodes revealing his neck tattoo. 

At AEW Revolution 2020, Cody Rhodes took on MJF in the culmination of their feud that began when MJF turned on Cody at AEW Full Gear 2019. Though MJF won the match, Cody stole headlines by revealing his now famous American Nightmare logo neck tattoo. 

Appearing on Mostly Sports, Britt Baker was asked why Cody got the neck tattoo.

“So, there was a lot of controversy around that internally at the time because…MJF, at the time, I don’t know if I can say this, I’m just going to say it because fuck MJF. He felt that Cody was trying to steal his thunder at the time because they were in a feud at the pay-per-view,” she recalled. “Cody vs. MJF, MJF big coming out moment, and it was like his Harrah, and Cody shows up, bam, with a neck tattoo. MJF was like…”

Host Brandon Walker commented, “Stealing the spotlight a little?”

“Yup, that’s what MJF says. I’m sure he doesn’t care now because MJF is successful on his own, but at the time,” Baker said.

MJF is currently off AEW TV after losing the AEW World Title to Samoa Joe at AEW Worlds End. 

Baker hasn’t wrestled since September 2023. 

Cody’s sister Teil previously revealed that she was the one who booked the tattoo appointment for Cody. You can find her comments by clicking here.
