AEW All Out: Every Match Ranked From Worst To Best
8. Shawn Spears Vs. Cody
Result: Cody takes Spears out with the Cross Rhodes for the win (16:20).
Rating: How about Cody's Star Trek-inspired entrance, huh? Nice to see him embracing the goofiness. The match itself was a physical brawl as expected, while not in any way a technically finessed showdown.
This was probably the most WWE-esque match on the card, as often seems to be the case with Cody. It didn't really need the interference shenanigans, but seeing Arn Anderson murder Spears with a Spinebuster sure was fun regardless.
There will be many questioning the booking of a Spears loss here, but hopefully it's in the service of the long game. 16 minutes was a tad on the long side for what it delivered, but it was good enough. 6/10
