AEW has fully capitalized on Anthony Ogogo's credentials as an Olympic medalist. This week, he fought Austin Gunn, a member of Cody Rhodes' faction, ahead of AEW Double or Nothing.

Although Gunn unloaded some early offense, he quickly went down after a gut punch by Ogogo. The former professional boxer followed this up with another gut punch. As the babyface bled from his mouth, Ogogo executed a devastating shot to the jaw, which soon prompted the referee to call for the bell.

AEW can often overplay their hand when it comes to the usage of blood. However, in this case, it helped portray Ogogo as a highly dominant athlete. Now that they have built him up as a force to be reckoned with, Cody Rhodes vs. Anthony Ogogo should be an intriguing battle at Double or Nothing.

One major aspect of this feud has bothered many fans, which is that it suddenly turned from a war between factions to a war between countries. The latter scenario has played out many times throughout history, and it may not be the most interesting approach towards a feud in 2021.
