The following match is advertised for Wednesday’s edition of the AEW Dynamite television show.
-Miro vs. Sammy Guevara for the TNT Championship.
-Jungle Boy vs. Adam Cole.
-Cody Rhodes and Lee Johnson vs. Dante Martin and Matt Sydal.
-Penelop Ford and The Bunny vs. Tay Conti and Anna Jay.
Powell’s POV: It’s interesting that Cody is working against a pair of babyfaces after he was booed during his match against Malakai Black. Wednesday’s Dynamite will be live from Rochester, New York at Blue Cross Arena, where AEW will also tape next week’s Rampage. Join Jake Barnett for his weekly live review of Dynamite every Wednesday at 7CT/8ET. My AEW Dynamite same night audio reviews are available each week for Dot Net Members.

“It’s interesting that Cody is working against a pair of babyfaces after he was booed during his match against Malakai Black.” – when I watched Wednesday and his match against Black, it seemed clear to me that Cody was including heelish elements in his performance. His costume, his wife (and her coming out the heel entrance?), that Arn was mad at him, etc.
So I don’t find it unusual to see Cody go up against clear faces.
What I wonder is if Cody will act heelish against his own partner, the most babyface of the Nightmare Family , in Johnson.
I wonder if the crowd in Rochester will also boo him like they did in Queens. Cody needs a change in the worst way. I like Cody but his character is stale and needs a reset of some kind.
Many people don’t like Brandi and she has shown she can be a heel. The only problem is if Cody were to turn, who would be his next feud?
