Trending
Malakai Black started the match on AEW Dynamite: Homecoming strong, locking in a half-Boston Crab early on, forcing Cody Rhodes to reach the bottom rope to break the hold. Black charged at Cody again who tried to catch him in the Cross Rhodes. Black broke out with a knee strike to the head. Cody then headed to the top rope and Black hit him with a pump kick, sending Cody crashing through the timekeeper's table.
Cody finally made his way back into the ring and Malakai Black caught him with his trademark spinning kick, taking Cody out. Black then covered Cody and it was all over that quickly.

Malakai Black def. Cody
RATING - B+
What a debut by Malakai Black, beating Cody in the main event of AEW Dynamite Homecoming. Cody was still down afterward as Doc Sampson checked on him. Tony Schiavone joined Cody in the middle of the ring, asking Cody if he was okay. Cody said that when he started wrestling he only wanted to win back the title they took from his dad Dusty Rhodes.
He added that his goals had changed and gingerly made his way back to his feet. Cody said that people laught at him three years ago when they tried to start their wrestling revolution but now AEW was no longer just an alternative, it was competition.
While Cody was in the process of taking off his boots, Black came back out and struck him across the back with a crutch. It looks like we may not see Cody back in AEW for a little while.
