Cody Rhodes: Chelsea Green Was First to Ask ‘What Do You Want?’ Ahead of All In 2018

Rhodes recalls Green's early involvement in the landmark independent show, while Lance Storm reflects on the success of two wrestlers he once trained.

Cody Rhodes says Chelsea Green was the first person to ask him the question that became the title of his own interview series, “What do you want?”, during the planning stages of All In back in 2018. Rhodes made the comment while hosting Green on the latest episode of his show “What Do You Want To Talk About?”, according to Fightful.

All In, staged by Rhodes alongside Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson of The Young Bucks, is widely regarded as the biggest independent professional wrestling show in history. The event’s sole women’s match was a four-way bout featuring Tessa Blanchard, Dr. Britt Baker, Chelsea Green, and Madison Rayne. That match remains one of the most notable footnotes of the show, which helped lay the groundwork for the eventual formation of AEW alongside the Jackson brothers and Rhodes.

Green’s recollection, as relayed by Rhodes, places her among the earliest performers consulted directly about what she wanted out of her involvement in the show, a detail that underscores how personally Rhodes and his partners approached assembling the card during a period when the independent scene had never attempted anything on that scale.

Lance Storm on Green and Dominik Mysterio

Separately, Lance Storm, who has trained a number of notable wrestlers over the years including Chelsea Green and Dominik Mysterio, said he is happy to see both performers succeed, according to 411Mania. Storm was clear that he does not want to take credit for their accomplishments, framing his remarks as genuine support rather than a claim of influence over their current standing in the industry.

Both Green and Mysterio have become prominent figures on WWE programming in recent years, with Green building a reputation as one of the promotion’s most consistent performers across multiple storylines and title pictures, and Mysterio carving out his own identity as part of a prominent on-screen faction. Storm’s comments add context to the developmental backgrounds of two wrestlers whose paths have diverged significantly from their training roots but who continue to draw attention for their current runs.

Together, the two reports offer a window into Green’s trajectory from the independent scene, where she was present for one of the sport’s most historically significant shows, through her training under Storm, to her present-day prominence in WWE. Neither report includes additional detail on specific matches, storylines, or future plans tied to either wrestler beyond the remarks attributed to Rhodes and Storm.
