TNT Champion Cody Rhodes sent a stern warning to his challenger, Darby Allin, ahead of their match at Full Gear. Earlier, Rhodes teamed up with Billy Gunn and Austin Gunn with Arn Anderson in their corner against John Silver, Ten, and Colt Cabana with Dark Order.
Rhodes, Gunn, and Austin Gunn defeated the latter in an entertaining main event. Post the match, Rhodes cut a top-class promo on his opponent Darby Allin who was seated high up in the stands.
Cody called Allin’s statement of TNT, not wanting him to be the face of the network a fiction. Rhodes revealed if circumstances were different, TNT and he would love to have Allin as the face.
