TNT Champion Cody Rhodes was back on AEW Dynamite this week for his own “pipebomb” promo.
Rhodes referenced Punk’s pipebomb promo that he gave on WWE television several years ago. Rhodes said Punk had the comeback of the decade but while Punk was gone, Cody said he did all the things that Punk wanted to do.
Rhodes said he won’t turn heel because the fans cheered him when they needed him the most. He also said that he was the person who build the Forbidden Door. Rhodes also took a jab at WWE renaming WALTER (Gunner McBillabuddy was the reference) while putting over people like Malakai Black, Miro, Darby Allin, Sammy Guevara, and others in his promo.
Rhodes said that fans have been conditioned to think that a title that doesn’t have “World” in it is secondary but that’s not the case and the TNT Title has only been secondary in recent weeks because he hasn’t been around. Rhodes then challenged Guevara to a unification match at Beach Break.
