AEW Announces TNT Championship Reunification Match For AEW Beach Break 2022!
On this past week’s AEW Dynamite the balls were set in motion as recapped by AEW.
TNT Champion “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes returned!
Cody pulled a ladder out from beneath the ring and set it up in the middle of the ring.
Cody Rhodes: “What do you guys want to talk about? I’m reminded from that last match about a man who sat on that ramp and gave one of the most important speeches of our life. It was the first hint of a revolution. I am talking about CM Punk and the Pipe Bomb. Somebody told me to save this promo but I’m honestly not sure I’ll get the chance so I’m going to do it now.
“In that interview CM Punk laid out a map and listed things that were taboo. Going to New Japan. Working for Ring Of Honor. Tagging with the Young Bucks. He didn’t do those things but as fate would have it, he would eventually wind up here of what Pro Wrestling Illustrated called the ‘Comeback of the Year.’ But this is the comeback of the decade. We are all living it and loving it!
“But in the absence and void that CM Punk left behind, someone did each and every one of those things. I did them! I held every grain of the revolution in my hands and each and every one of you cheered. You want to ask why I won’t turn heel. It’s because you cheered me when I needed it most.
“People talk about The Forbidden Door. It’s a proper noun. It’s in the vernacular. Check the receipts, check the dates. Before there was a Forbidden Door, I was the one that built it!
“And I am gone for two weeks and I see that the Young Bucks last week in the opening segment almost started the Monday Night Wars all over again. And then my friend Ricky Starks gets into a tiff with Jay Lethal. Word to the wise, you don’t kick out of the Lethal Injection. Avoid, avoid, avoid.
“And Malakai Black, a guy who added to losses to my career, and I hate to lose. And he got help, and if you come to AEW and you call yourself Brody, you’ve got balls. But I’ll let you know in 8 years when that kid shows up.
“I think it’s pretty clear what we do. I know Tony Khan sent a contract to me and Sammy Guevara. Beach Break. Two Titles. Sammy Guevara, what do you say?”
Well, Sammy’s response to Cody’s challenge is implied with how Dynamite ended.
