AEW’s fighting champion, Cody Rhodes, defended his TNT Championship against Orange Cassidy. The two locked horns with each other in a Lumberjack match.

This was a rematch of their contest a couple of weeks ago on Dynamite. Their match had reached the limit with neither scoring a pinfall and the contest ending in a draw.

Their match on Dynamite this week was a chaotic one, and definitely a candidate for the match of the night. Friends of both the Superstars surrounded the ring as Lumberjacks.

The match was competitive with both superstars not leaving any room for error. During the brawl, a mad moment took place that left bodies lying everywhere.

As the lumberjacks were attacking each other, Orange Cassidy climbed the top rope. Rhodes then climbed up as well and delivered a superplex onto the lumberjacks.

Rhodes won the match and retained his TNT championship, and he can thank The Dark Order and Arn Anderson for the assist. The TNT championship is very dear to Cody Rhodes, and he gives his life every night to protect that championship.

Cody Rhodes claims TNT Championship was the most important title last year

AEW had to introduce the TNT championship long before then they initially planned because of the pandemic. This reason stopped the company from not putting the finishing touches on the title.

Cody Rhodes became a two-time TNT champion when he defeated Brodie Lee almost a month ago. However, a few days ago, The American Nightmare took to Twitter and proclaimed the TNT Championship to be ‘The’ belt in wrestling.
