AEW wrestler Anthony Ogogo recently reflected on his feud with Cody Rhodes, which was his first significant rivalry in AEW. Ogogo expressed his belief that he should have emerged victorious from the feud.

On March 31, 2021, The Guv’nor made his debut alongside QT Marshall in a feud against The American Nightmare. He was scheduled to fight Rhodes at Double or Nothing a month later but unfortunately didn’t come out on top. While Rhodes moved on to bigger opportunities, Ogogo seemed to fade into the background.

In an interview with Stephanie Chase of Digital Spy, Anthony Ogogo shared his perspective on the feud, expressing that he believed he should have emerged victorious in the Double or Nothing match.

“I think I should have won that feud, I think I should have won that match. I think there’s some things in wrestling that have to happen and, this is my opinion, you’ve always got to win your first feud because you’re letting the audience know they’ve got to care about this guy, this guy is gonna be somebody.”

However, this did not go to plan, and the 34-year-old feels like the entire buildup for him was wasted.

“I think I had this big introduction and then the rug was kind of taken from under me. I think other stuff was going on in the background and that’s why Cody went on to win the match… Malakai Black came in the month after and beat Cody in under five minutes and I was like: ‘I wish they had of done that with me,’ knocked him out with a right hand, early doors,” Ogogo claimed.
