“The American Dream” Cody Rhodes faced Anthony Ogogo in a battle for national pride at AEW Double or Nothing.
The AEW newcomer overpowered Rhodes early on, but Rhodes used his veteran edge to counter Ogogo’s strength. The former boxer started bleeding fairly early, but he still used his power to control the match. He even took to the sky with a frog splash for a two count.
