Cody Rhodes has a job on his hands to pull a pay-per-view quality match out of Anthony Ogogo. That's no knock on the ex-boxer, it's just the truth. He's right at the start of his pro wrestling journey, and he's not about to have some AEW classic at Double Or Nothing.

In fairness, he doesn't need to.

Fans will be excited enough if Rhodes lives up to the billing by turning into the 'American Dream' for one night and pays homage to his late father. Nobody's suggesting polka dots, don't worry, but it would be sweet to see Cody wear gear patterned after his dad's old NWA look, or maybe even perform some of his dad's iconic spots.

The not-so-subtle USA vs. UK buildup was a bit misplaced, so it'd be better if AEW focused on some Dusty tributes to see them through on the night. Also, losing to Cody would be no disgrace for Ogogo at this stage in his run.
