10 Most Shocking Wrestling Squash Matches
2. Cody Rhodes Vs Brodie Lee - AEW Dynamite 2020
One of the most shocking moments in wrestling over the past decade was when Mr. Brodie Lee demolished Cody Rhodes for the TNT Championship on a special Saturday edition of AEW Dynamite. To that point, Cody had been defending the newly established title in open challenges which helped establish the belt as an exciting new facet of AEW's programming.
The 'American Nightmare' had defended his title over the likes of Jungle Boy, Sonny Kiss, and newcomers such as Eddie Kingston and Ricky Starks. Every week throughout the summer of 2020, Cody's TNT Title defenses were the most exciting parts of the show and it was leading to somebody being put over huge when they finally defeated him for it.
The former Luke Harper had just unsuccessfully challenged Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship and looked likely to do the job for Rhodes, too. This was not the case, as Brodie ran through the the TNT Champion in just over three minutes in one of the best segments the company has ever produced.
It transformed Brodie Lee into a huge star and helped cement his legacy in the promotion as the greatest TNT Champion of all time.
