10 Wrestling Moments Live Fans Hated (But The Internet Loved)
10. Cody Keeps On Teasing A Turn
The final weeks of Cody Rhodes' time battling it out with All Elite's finest brought with it some of the most compelling and intriguing wrestling character work being committed to Wednesday and Friday nights.
Though he'd shown time and time again how adept he could be at playing the bad guy, The American Nightmare appeared adamant on sticking to his honest principals whilst telling his ever-twisting tales within the Cody-Verse.
Very much privy to those calls from the socials for him to finally turn full heel in the thick of his TNT title exploits, though, Rhodes would routinely offer little breadcrumbs of wickedness to those keeping up online and joining the dots as hopes of that long-awaited fall into the Dark Side remained alive and well.
In truth, the elaborately dressed and excessive entrance-equipped Cody had little intention of committing to a darker variation of his Nightmare Family leader. And this was something that routinely left AEW crowds seething and frustrated in the last days of his All Elite career.
In the end, Cody may have been the Internet's favourite heel-in-waiting, but for many of those filing into AEW's many arenas he was little more than a miscast annoyance.
