Cody Rhodes Remembers Andy 'The Butcher' Williams Following His Passing

Cody Rhodes has expressed his gratitude for being part of a significant moment in the wrestling career of Andy Williams, known as The Butcher, who recently passed away.

Williams debuted in All Elite Wrestling (AEW) in 2019, making a memorable entrance by attacking Rhodes. He was part of the Butcher, Blade & Bunny trio and was also a respected musician in the hardcore band Every Time I Die. Following his death, Rhodes shared his memories of Williams, describing him as cultured and intelligent, and lamented not spending enough time with him.

Williams, 48, suffered a medical emergency during a match for Enjoy Wrestling in Pennsylvania on September 5 and was later confirmed deceased by the Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office. Reports indicated that he sustained an injury after hitting his head on a ring post. Rhodes and Williams faced each other in two tag team matches during the early days of AEW Dynamite.
