All Elite Wrestling celebrated the one-year anniversary of its launch this week, and executive vice president Cody Rhodes joined The Post’s Joseph Staszewski for a Q&A to talk about what’s ahead.

The company’s “Bash at the Beach” event kicks off with “AEW Dynamite” from Miami on Jan. 15 and continues the following Wednesday on TNT with an episode aboard Chris Jericho’s “Rock ‘N’ Wrestling” cruise in the Bahamas. On March 25, the company brings “Dynamite” to the Prudential Center for its debut in the New York metro area; tickets go on sale Jan. 24.

Q: How important was it to get a show in the New York metro area at Prudential Center?

A: Massively important, especially because every (show) announcement you make, probably the number one thing you hear being shouted back at you is: “When are you coming to New York? When are you coming to the tri-state? When are you coming to Jersey?”

It’s the largest market in the world in the Northeast. It has some of the best venues possible. I have a particular love for Prudential because I think the only pay-per-view main event I ever was a part of in WWE was in Prudential (at Hell in a Cell 2009), so it means a lot for me that we got that building.

Q: How often do you see AEW running shows in the Northeast? There are only a few bigger buildings in our area.

A: I foresee us being up there pretty frequently. Our style of professional wrestling leans more into the Northeast style of professional wrestling. You have to go with the way the show goes and you have to go where it’s popular. We get these flow charts every Thursday about the amount of people watching in specific markets, and the New York market is registering as high as a Raw viewership for a Dynamite. It definitely means you have to get up in the tri-state.

Q: You tweeted thanking Prudential Center for bypassing politics. What was the process like booking it and was there any WWE pushback?

A: We have to earn (an arena’s) trust, so we get solicited by a lot of buildings now that we have a good track record, and we just sold our 100,000th ticket and we hope to continue that. But I think in the New York area, there is a lot more of the courtesy calling going on. They don’t want to have multiple wrestling companies or feel a sense of loyalty. That’s something I totally understand, but if you come to us then I don’t understand it.

So it was more of me just personally glad we got through all the weeds on the potential buildings. There’s a ton of buildings in the area that I performed in, whether it be Barclays (Center), Nassau (Coliseum) or the mecca MSG. And I really do hope you see AEW in all those buildings at some point.

Q: Chris Jericho talked this week after his win at New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s Wrestle Kingdom about wanting to build an AEW relationship with New Japan in some way. Is that a relationship AEW is interested in pursuing and what would it mean for the wrestling industry?

A: I think the thing that was strange to me was people were asking for this partnership. I don’t know what a partnership would look like other than what you saw. Chris Jericho was part of one of the main events of Wrestle Kingdom, Jon Moxley as well. They both were successful. What did he call it? The forbidden door?

Q: Forbidden portal, door, one of those two.

A: The forbidden door. It may be forbidden, but clearly the door is opening and closing and opening and closing. It’s public knowledge that some guys here, myself included, have exemptions to work New Japan Pro-Wrestling. But I know that New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s focus is New Japan and AEW’s focus is AEW.

So more likely what a partnership would look like is perhaps some sharing of talent, some shared creative, but we’re not going to do a Super Clash III where (Kerry) Von Erich and (Jerry) Lawler are fighting over the title (in 1988). Sorry, that’s a real specific angle I brought up. I’m always hesitant to combine banners versus just respecting each other’s banners. But I like how it’s referred to as the forbidden door. I don’t really think it’s forbidden at all.

Like I said, many people have the exemption to work there. They put on a great Wrestle Kingdom. They have some amazing talent, particularly Will Ospreay. He’s a top-five wrestler in the world right now. So, we’ll see where that goes. I know everyone pretty much feels the same about it.

Q: So you see it as, if anything did happen, it would be one person here or there coming across?

A: I think it’s something in the next year that we will hopefully all explore. We’ll explore on our end, they’ll explore on their end and we’ll see if it works.

Q: How did the idea for the “Bash at the Beach” reboot come along?

A: I think it was something we were kicking around because I had looked into and trademarked some old-school wrestling IPs (intellectual properties), and we were looking at the two weeks where you have the cruise itself and the actual Miami show as kind of like a two-week special. That’s actually what it is, a two-week special, because they will be codependent on each other. We wanted to give it a theme and it ended up being “Bash at the Beach” because I had the IP and wanted to use it in a fun way and not do something that’s been done before, but do our own version of it.

Q: When you decided on “Bash at the Beach,” was there any worry of, “Oh, they’re just rehashing old WCW stuff” with the parallels between you and them already?

A: I think we were more looking from the standpoint of, “Oh, this would be fun.” And then you do see a few things like that like, “Oh, it’s a WCW concept,” but it’s a concept my dad had a part in creating. We are not really doing anything that was on any of their Bash at the Beaches.

Q: You talk about acquiring IPs. You have become known for these trademark binges. What makes you sit down and do those?

A: Trademark law is pretty much standard in all of entertainment — except in wrestling. In wrestling, there is this weird amount of trademarks that [lapse] that people think they can hold on to, and they legally cannot if somebody picks them up.

And having my own kind of experience with trademarks and having to secure my name and things of that nature. But also just simple stuff to make sure my father’s name and his legacy and all of the things that come with it go directly to my mother, just stuff like that got me in a mood to see what else was out there. And my buddy Conrad Thompson, I know he’s kind of a controversial figure, but he always kind of keeps me posted on what’s available.

Honestly, I think 95 percent of it is about securing my father’s legacy, and the other five percent is just for fun moments like “Bash at the Beach.”

Q: Will you be able to get the Dusty Rhodes trademark? It’s something that’s reportedly in limbo right now.

A: I’ll say that every report you get on a trademark is usually about three months behind. And Ryan Satin (of Pro Wrestling Sheet) made some weird report about me not being able to have that trademark, but that’s not the case.

That’s why you never see me publicly comment on any of the trademarks because I let [lawyers] handle the legalese and their own process. I let that all work itself out. There is no issue with Dusty Rhodes trademark. There never was.

Q: Why was this the right time to add Arn Anderson as your on-screen manager or coach?

A: He’s referred to as a head coach by AEW, but I really wanted to look at my performance and my level of competition, what that looks like with a manager. And I have a love for the proper use of a legend and somebody that has really been instrumental in the industry, and Arn is someone who has been instrumental in the industry. Some of the most popular current wrestlers on multiple brands have been under that learning tree. So now I can be under that learning tree, but it can also be on air.

My relationship with Arn is very real. He was someone at WWE who was extremely, extremely hard on me, and I need that same thing now because wrestling fans expect a lot from AEW.

Q: Does he have an official backstage role with AEW, too?

A: Right now it’s just in front of the camera, but everything at AEW is very much a matter of people doing multiple jobs. Even last week, he made himself present at the production meeting. He’s in with the other EVPs and he watches the product, which is massive. He’s not there just for the check, and it’s really nice to see him helping a whole new generation. So I can see the on-air role swiftly becoming a backstage role.

Q: What was your initial reaction to MJF’s stipulations to get a match with him?

A: When it comes to MJF and his stipulations, that’s a really outlandish, ridiculous and stupid thing and I look forward to answering him on “Dynamite,” whether it be this week or next week. I think people would like to know sooner than later. He laid out some lofty goals for me and some potentially unique stuff for AEW in the next few months.

Q: People follow the type of steel cages promotions use. Is there anything you can say about what kind of cage AEW would use for your potential match with Wardlow?

A: I can’t answer that (laughs). I know, but I could.

The most important thing to me about a steel cage in television wrestling — and this is for timing and the pomp and circumstance — is that it’s able to be lowered from the ceiling. That’s my one prerequisite for a cage.

Q: How do you look back on the past year?

A: The best time of my life. It really is. Other than when Brandi and I got married, this whole process has been one memory after another. Every mile down the road has been a memory and so many of them good.
