4 Ups & 1 Down From AEW Rampage (Sep 3)
Ups...
4. Dustin Rhodes Is Next
On the plus side, Dustin Rhodes vs. Black should be better.
Dustin came out to save Johnson from a post-match booting, then stared a hole right through Malakai. Afterwards, Rhodes was all kinds of fired up during a backstage promo with Mark Henry. Gotta pause to give ol' 'Sexual Chocolate' some props - he's becoming a very good stick man. His facials are excellent.
It must've been hard not to react to Dustin's fiery words though. He tore through Black and warned that he'd give him a beating on Wednesday's Dynamite. That, assuming plans don't change, should be one hell of an attraction on the main TV show. Bring it on after this!
AEW have a strong story running here. Cody will return for some vengeance at some point, but Black is best off making a mockery of his Family until then. Fingers crossed he bloodies Dustin up like it's Double Or Nothing 2019 all over again.
