— Wrestling School Led by Cody Rhodes and QT Marshall
to Offer Three-Month Training Camps starting Monday, Sept. 21 —

July 30, 2020 – Nightmare Factory, the premium training facility owned and operated by AEW’s
Cody Rhodes and QT Marshall, today announced its new development camp to propel the next
generation of professional wrestling talent.

Starting on Monday, Sept. 21, the inaugural class of 25 aspiring male and female wrestlers will
experience the unparalleled three-month curriculum at the world-class Nightmare Factory facility
in Norcross, Ga. The premium Nightmare Factory facility, which encompasses 43,000 square
feet, includes four wrestling rings and a complete Olympic style weight room. AEW filmed
several closed-set DYNAMITE shows at the Nightmare Factory earlier this year.

Designed by head trainers Cody Rhodes and QT Marshall, the rolling curriculum incorporates
programming never before presented in a wrestling school. In addition to customized workouts
and fitness regimes, students will engage with prominent nutrition counselor Carolyn Fazio to
develop meal plans, and participate in exclusive seminars on topics such as HD makeup, the
history of American wrestling and “Wrestlenomics,” an in-depth look at the past and present of
the wrestling economy.

Aspiring wrestlers can apply for the first Nightmare Factory camp at www.NightmareFactoryGa.com.
Camps are limited to 25 athletes and open to men and women of any level of wrestling experience.
New camp sessions will begin every three months. The opening camp commences on Sept. 21,
followed by the second session in early January 2021.

“I’ve had the best trainers throughout my career, and now I feel a responsibility to pass on the
fundamentals and traditions of our sport and entertainment medium to aspiring wrestlers,” said
Cody Rhodes, co-head trainer of Nightmare Factory and EVP of AEW. “What I love the most
about the Nightmare Factory is its push towards the future and innovation, as well as its focus on
the history of wrestling and how it has shaped our current business climate.

To ensure the safety of all athletes and staff, temperature screenings and COVID-19 tests are
required to enter the facility. Refer to www.NightmareFactoryGA.com for policies and
