However, for the exclusive live event, AEW expects more fans to fill the seats of the arena. EVP Cody Rhodes expressed his happiness on Twitter over the sale of additional pods. He said, “LOVE that we are able to open up more pods – we continue to be safe and steady, and it feels great to be competing in front of major crowds again!”

Cody Rhodes will wrestle on The House Always Wins card. He’ll face Aaron Solow, a member of the newly formed faction led by QT Marshall. Along with Solow, fellow trainees at the Nightmare Factory, Nick Comoroto and Olympic Bronze medalist Anthony Agogo attacked the Nightmare Family.

They took out Cody, Dustin Rhodes and Lee Johnson of the Nightmare Family, and QT Marshall hit Dustin with a Piledriver on the steel steps. Cody will aim to exact revenge for the vicious attack on his brother and himself this Friday.
