Cody Rhodes. The man who was pinned only three times last year. First and two time TNT Champion. The man who got the highlight match against Shaq. Arguably the most protected man in AEW, if not North America. That Cody Rhodes. He needed the win. I gotta know how. He loses more feuds than he wins (despite popular belief), he lost the last two previous matches; one against a retired Basketball player and a girl in her debut match, and Penta talked shit about his unborn Daughter. That's how. He also won by fluke and Penta is likely winning the rematch if there is one. Won the Archer feud. Won the Brodie feud. You can say Darby won their last match but Cody is still 3-1 against him. He ”feuded” with Team Taz insofar as getting choked out by Taz and a few tag team matches until it pivoted to Darby and Sting vs. Team Taz. The feuds Cody has lost were to MJF back in February and Jericho back in 2019. I get that he lost to Shaq and Jade, but there wasn’t a feeling of “Cody lost a step here, we gotta reheat him”. He took out Shaq in the match and lost without being involved in the decision, which happens a lot with Cody. Penta had the line about his daughter, and that helped elevate it to a more personal match, but man did it feel like Cody going over a more interesting talent who could have used a win (Archer, Darby).

Did they not follow up with him and Penta, or did I miss it?

It'll either be best to move on from this or come back to it later down the line which AEW is prone to doing The good thing about AEW is it really doesnt matter who you lose to if you just get some quality wins. Like Conti losing to Nyla twice and getting the top female rank or Darby getting to the TNT Title despite losing to Cody twice. I just hope Penta has a similar path, of course
