Cody Rhodes returned with a new look on AEW Dynamite

Orange Cassidy challenged Brodie Lee for the TNT Championship this week on AEW Dynamite. This was Cassidy’s first time challenging for a title in AEW.

Lee essentially dominated the match for several minutes along with some interference from The Dark Order, who were standing around the ringside area. Almost 10 minutes into the match, Cassidy turned things around and he his some offense moves. Dark Order tried to interfere again but Cassidy outsmarted them.

Lee retained the title after hitting a powerbomb and the discus clothesline. After the match, the lights went out and then Cody Rhodes walked out and he took out several of the Dark Order members as Lee bailed out of the ring. This was Rhodes’ first Dynamite appearance since he lost the TNT Championship to Lee a few weeks ago.

After the commercial break, Lee went to the backstage area and he said Rhodes had the audacity to return and he referenced Brandi posting “thirst traps” on Instagram and calling Lee “daddy.” Lee said he will take a dog collar and he will wrap it around Cody’s neck and he will have nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. Lee said that Cody has one week to answer his challenge. It looks like we will get a Dog Collar match soon.
