AEW Full Gear 2021: Every Match Ranked From Worst To Best

9. Malakai Black & Andrade El Idolo Vs. Cody Rhodes & PAC

...big old 'hmm' for this one.

JR hit the nail on the head by saying AEW had plonked four individuals together rather than producing a doubles effort between two solid teams. That meant this was only average. Your writer didn't really dig it at all, in truth - it should've been on Dynamite or Rampage, not pay-per-view.

Also, crowds booing Cody is a problem now. All Elite are gonna have to do something about that, because it's strangling every match he's in and is actually in danger of becoming this generation's "X-Pac heat". It's not great that Andrade El Idolo and Malakai Black were cheered for beating the sh*t out of him.

Rhodes might be spinning away from those heels to work with PAC too. That's fine and all, but what are the others going to do if so? The other option is moving Cody off Malakai and having him work more exclusively with El Idolo. Yeah, this was a TV match at best.
