Earlier this week, AEW released a big cliff hanger that showed former WWE Intercontinental Champion Dustin Rhodes promising to retire from wrestling if he didn’t beat Kip Sabian in the first-round of the TNT Championship Tournament on Wednesday.
The latest entry of the online series further elaborates on Dustin’s decision to call it quits, with Cody explaining the mindset of the artist formerly known as Goldust. Also, it appears that AEW Women’s Champion Nyla Rose will be making her return soon; however, it doesn’t sound like the champion is happy. The Washington D.C. native scolded Tony for his commentary about her and promises to make a statement upon her return.
The second Quarterfinal TNT Championship Tournament match-up between Darby Allin and Sammy Guevara is highlighted. The “Spanish God” is entering the match-up at a disadvantage since Allin defeated the Inner Circle member at Revolution. Still, Guevara remains confident that he’ll beat the 27-year-old and become the first man to hold the TNT title.
Also, Alex Reynolds and John Silver look to make amends with “The Exalted One” Brodie Lee, as The Dark Order members hope to get in the good graces of the polarizing figure after their recent failures in All Elite Wrestling.
