Kenny Omega might be the AEW World Champion, but Cody Rhodes is the face of AEW. The American Nightmare has lived up to his nickname and his family name in the wrestling business. While he is AEW’s top talent, he is also one to steal fans’ affection with heartwarming gestures.

This was an exceptionally kind gesture by a man whose nickname has the word ‘nightmare’ in it. Rhodes wasn’t in action on tonight’s episode of Dynamite, but we saw the storyline with QT Marshall and Dustin Rhodes progress significantly.
On Dynamite, QT Marshall picked up a cheap win against WWE legend Billy Gunn after Anthony Ogogo attacked Gunn with a devastating gut punch. After the match, Nick Comoroto hands QT a chair to end Gunn’s career, only for Dustin Rhodes to save him. Rhodes attacked Comoroto with the chair, but it didn’t affect the former WWE superstar at all.

The card kicked off with Hangman Page picking up a big win against Ricky Starks. In the next match, Penta defeated Trent in his first singles match after his huge return two weeks ago. After Penta’s big win came the first title match of the night, as Hikaru Shida outlasted a very game Tay Conti to retain the AEW Women’s Title.
