Ever since Conrad Thompson, the podcast host with ties to AEW through his Starrcast convention trademarked “Four Horsemen,” it has been rumored that there could be a modern-day version of the group forming. The latest speculation has been that the group could consist of Cody Rhodes, Shawn Spears, and FTR with original members Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard attached. Now in an interview with TalkSPORT, Cody has discussed the possibility of this, and while not dismissing the possibility of a faction, it doesn’t appear the Four Horsemen name would be used.
I think in this case, I love flirting with some of the concepts that were out there because my dad and my family was always the antithesis of the Four Horseman. Their biggest rival was my father. And now, one of his biggest rivals is genuinely one of my closest confidants and coaches and it’s really a different career than I had envisioned, but I love having Double A there and I know Arn has had some conversations with Tony Khan and FTR and I know Spears has had some conversations with FTR.

Not using the name is probably the right decision, as living up to the Four Horsemen name would have a big ask. Still, perhaps a Horsemen inspired group could be possible, much in the same way WWE created Evolution, TNA had Fortune, and MLW had The Xtreme Horsemen.
