Cody Rhodes Shares Emotional Message After AEW Full Gear Defeat
Follow Us
AEW Full Gear saw a shocking turn of events. Although most of the champions retained their titles, Cody Rhodes was not that lucky. He lost his AEW TNT Championship to newbie Darby Allin, shocking the fans.
Cody won the championship after a brutal and bloody Dog Collar match with Brodie Lee a few weeks back. The match put things into perspective for the champion, and he declared how he would face one opponent each week.
After two back-to-back matches with Orange Cassidy, Rhodes faced Allin as fate would have it. Darby Allin defeated Cody to become the new AEW TNT Champion at Full Gear after hitting a coffin drop and pinning the champ.

After the match, Cody, the former two-time champion, took the loss sportingly and waxed eloquent for the young Allin. He wrote, “the rookies aren’t rookies anymore. They are stars. You can be a loner, but now you’re a leader.”
Heartbreaking for me, but a special night for @DarbyAllin – the rookies aren’t rookies anymore. They are stars.
You can be a loner, but now you’re a leader.
Thank you @AEW and the fans here tonight and watching on PPV. It was an honor to be your champion. pic.twitter.com/AEhAEEzW2n

Cody wrestled as Cody Rhodes for the first time in AEW
Cody Rhodes got his name back last week after a negotiation with WWE. Although he said that the last name would be used for projects outside of AEW, that wasn’t the case at Full Gear.
During the pre-match introductions, Justin Roberts announced the American Nightmare and Prince of Pro Wrestling as “Cody Rhodes.” AEW television got a big pop out of the Daily’s Place crowd. Jim Ross also called attention to the Rhodes introduction to AEW.
