These two faced off way back at Fyter Fest last year in a time limit
draw and Cody defeated Allin back on the New Year’s episode of
Dynamite earlier this year. They’ve also teamed together several
times. Cody and Allin run into each other with shoulder blocks to
start the match. They lockup and Cody puts Allin in a side headlock.

quick one-count.

with a La Magistral Cradle and then the two exchange rollups. Cody
bridges up out of a pin attempt but as he does Allin chop blocks his
knee and goes to work on it. Allin drags Cody out onto the apron but
Cody uses his other foot to kick Allin into the barricade.
Cody attempts a Back Suplex on the floor but Allin lands on his feet
and charges at Cody. Cody moves out of the way and Allin sandwiches
Brandi into the barricade. Allin checks on Brandi and eats a Mafia
Kick from Cody. Billy Gunn helps Brandi to the back as Cody goes
nuts on Allin.

onto Cody.

nearfall. Cody puts Allin in a Half Crab but Allin quickly gets to
the ropes to break the hold. Cody goes for a Suplex but Allin knees
him in the head and then chop blocks him again. Allin hits a series
of rapid strikes followed by a Code Red for a nearfall.

then hangs him up in the Tree of Woe before hitting a Flying Hip
Attack. Allin pulls Cody off the top and locks him in a modified
Indian Death Lock.

Cody with it. Darby goes for a Springboard Coffin Drop, but Cody
catches him and then hits a Ripcord Lariat.

together. He says he didn’t just want to be the “third guy” in Kaz
and Daniels’ team but he says they have become a huge part of his
career. Sky says that he sees a lot of guys in the locker room just
happy to be there but he’s not satisfied until he’s a freaking
legend.

after seeing his nail doctor his doctor said he had never seen such
a miraculous turnaround from such an injury. He claims to have “over
healed” his injury. MJF says he was getting ready to come to
Dynamite but while he was shaving the unthinkable happened. He pulls
off his scar revealing a neck and says that he nicked his neck. He
says that a normal man would have bled out and died but he is a
warrior. MJF says he will make it back and will overcome another
gruesome injury because he is the last hope AEW has.
