Next up on AEW Dynamite, Cody Rhodes was in singles action against Peter Avalon.

Peter Avalon charged at Cody Rhodes as soon as the bell rang and Cody immediately hit him with a Cross Rhodes. Jade Cargill's music hit and she came out for the distraction. This gave Peter Avalon an advantage and he created an opening for himself by hitting Cody with a low blow.

Avalon continued to punish Cody who soon turned the tables. He caught Avalon with a shot to the jaw before heading to the top rope. Avalon joined Cody on the top rope and hit a massive superplex.

The match briefly spilled out to ringside during the ad break. Back in the ring, both men went down after simultaneous clotheslines. Peter Avalon briefly locked in a single-legged Boston Crab but Cody quickly reached the ropes.

Cody hit back with a couple of forearms before trying to get the pin off a sunset flip, getting only a two count. Avalon tried to hit back with a moonsault from the rope but he ate the mat after Cody rolled away. Cody replied with a Cody Cutter and followed it up with a powerslam. He then locked in the Figure 4 Leglock but Avalon reversed it. Cody then went to slap Avalon across the face but this made Avalon tap out.
