Cody Rhodes called out Malakai Black at AEW Fyter Fest Night 1
Cody Rhodes came down next to the ring on AEW Fyter Fest Night 1 and had a message for Malakai Black. Rhodes slammed Black for attacking 62-year-old wrestling legend Arn Anderson last week. Cody implored Black to answer his call.
Malakai Black then appeared on the big screen with a message for Cody. He told the story of once seeing a man putting down his prized horse when it was no longer good enough.
Black said that the man had wanted the horse to end its time with dignity and when he saw Arn Anderson and Cody Rhodes, he felt the same way.
Cody once again implored Malakai Black to come down to the ring and face him and this time Black accepted it. The lights went out and Malakai Black appeared in the ring opposite Cody Rhodes.
Both men then charged at each other and started to brawl. We saw AEW referees and other backstage personnel come out and separate the two men as we headed to a commercial break as security restrained both men.
