AEW Dynamite - Best and Worst - WCW icon brutalized, major botch, CM Punk's next opponent revealed

#1 Best/Worst: Cody Rhodes finally getting a win over Malakai Black on AEW Dynamite

Cody Rhodes and Malakai Black finished their trilogy tonight on AEW Dynamite. After months of suffering, The American Nightmare finally pinned Black in their storyline.

It was possibly the best match they had of their feud. Both men laid out their entire arsenal on display to such an extent that blood was pouring down from their heads. The cameo roles of Andrade El Idolo, PAC, and Arn Anderson, added another level of intensity to this match.

Cody Rhodes delivered a Double Underhook Tiger Driver 98 in the end to pin his bitter rival tonight. He redeemed himself and finally earned the respect of Arn Anderson. It was the most fitting way to end Rhodes' redemption story.

However, it came at the cost of Malakai Black's first singles loss since his All Elite Wrestling debut. His mini streak of 6-0 came to an abrupt end, which may derail his momentum moving forward.

It is unknown where the former NXT Champion will move on after suffering a loss tonight. Who is he going to blame for his defeat? Fans will find out in the coming weeks.
