Cody vs Lance Archer (to crown the first TNT Champion)
Mike Tyson was at ringside to present the AEW TNT Championship to the winner.
Lance Archer started the match with the Blackout, forcing Cody to immediately roll out of the ring. Back inside, Archer went for the claw but Cody reversed it into a brief armbar. Cody followed it up with a couple of chops and strikes but they had no effect.
Cody then grabbed Archer by the ponytail and pulled him down before striking him. Archer was trying to get the padding off the floor at ringside when Cody hit him with a suicide dive. Archer replied by grabbing Cody by the throat and tossing him onto the floor.
Back in the ring, Archer took Cody down with a clothesline. Archer then caught Cody by the arm and walked the top rope before hitting a moonsault. Archer followed it up with a massive suplex, literally tossing Cody across the ring.
Cody headed to the top rope to get some offense in but The Murderhawk caught him and threw him onto the floor with a military press.
Archer continued to dominate the match and the match spilled out to ringside again. Archer took Cody down with a forearm strike. Back in the ring, Cody was about to take control when Jake Roberts interfered. Cody sent Jake a message, hitting Lance Archer with a DDT. Archer replied with a spinebuster, in turn sending a message to Arn Anderson.
Cody hit Archer with a series of strikes and a knee to the face. Cody followed it up by paying homage to his late father Dusty Rhodes and his brother Dustin Rhodes. He followed it up with a Cross Rhodes for a two-count.
Lance Archer walked the ropes again and Arn Anderson swept his legs out from under him while the referee had his back turned. This led the referee to toss Anderson and Jake Roberts out of the arena.
Cody then hit Lance Archer with two Cross Rhodes in a row to pin him and become the first-ever AEW TNT Champion.
Result: Cody def. Lance Archer
