#1 Worst: Issues with Cody Rhodes vs. QT Marshall at AEW Dynamite: Blood and Guts
The match between Cody Rhodes and QT Marshall at AEW Dynamite: Blood and Guts was good, but there were a few problems with it.
The heel gained an early advantage during the match by using his own weight belt. Despite being attacked by Arn Anderson, he continued his domination of the AEW executive.

Tony Khan prides himself on never booking disqualification finishes in AEW, but it feels like cheating when something like that is brushed off during a match.
Anyway, the action remained solid throughout the contest, so it did have some redeeming factors. QT Marshall surely looked great, but was it worth devaluing a bunch of finishers?
The former member of The Nightmare Factory kicked out of a Tombstone Piledriver and Cross Rhodes, before eventually succumbing to the Figure Four Leglock . Maybe one kick out would have been fine, but two seemed a bit much for an AEW Dynamite match.
Also, QT Marshall seemed like a placeholder before Cody Rhodes takes on Anthony Agogo, possibly at Double or Nothing.
