10 Times AEW's Cody Rhodes Broke The Internet
3. Pharaoh Getting Spooked At All Out
Animals and pyrotechnics don't mix. AEW learned that the hard way at All Out 2019, when Cody's best friend Pharaoh was spooked by a bunch of loud pyro going off by accident. Despite being surrounded by a sea of friendly faces, Pharaoh looked reluctant to accompany his Nightmare Family to the ring. The poor doggie.
After some reassurance from Cody, Brandi, MJF, and DDP, Pharaoh made his way down the entrance ramp, supporting his human in a winning effort against Shawn Spears. Pharaoh might be part wolf and part Siberian Husky, but he's an all-out good boy.
AEW received its fair share of criticism over the incident, in addition to a bevvy of Tweets from viewers concerned for Pharaoh's well being. Even AEW President and CEO Tony Khan expressed frustration with the incident, revealing that he wouldn't put Pharaoh in that kind of position again.
Thankfully, Cody and co.'s Star Trek-inspired entrance went a long way in restoring the audience's goodwill. Where Pharaoh's concerned, can we please just keep it in The Nightmare Family? They've got his back.
