Cody Rhodes (c) vs Darby Allin
The match started off with both men feeling each other out. Darby Allin used his speed to stay away from Cody's grasp whenever possible. Allin got in a sliding dropkick on Cody early on but the champion replied with a hammerlock before throwing Darby out of the ring and onto the entrance ramp.
Darby was in big trouble as Cody locked in a modified hammerlock. Cody followed it up with an avalanche shoulder-breaker from the middle rope. Allin hit back with a Code Red.
Cody tried to set Darby Allin up for the Cross Rhodes but Allin managed to make it to the turnbuckle and buy himself some time, sending Cody face-first into the corner. Cody replied with a Cross Rhodes from the top rope, a truly incredible move, but it didn't put Allin away. As Cody went to cover Darby, his arm was under the bottom rope, breaking up the count.
Darby Allin tried to roll Cody up with a Jackknife cover but it wasn't enough. He followed it up with a modified Stunner and followed it up with a Coffin Drop. It only got a nearfall as Cody kicked out at the last second.
Both men traded roll-ups and Darby Allin ended up pinning Cody and getting the shock win. The shocked look on Cody's face was pretty priceless and the finish of the match was really well done. Darby Allin leaves Full Gear as the TNT Champion.
