AEW News Roundup: Tony Khan not returning Hall of Famer's calls, former WWE star worried during Cody Rhodes match, MJF compared to legend

#4. Dustin Rhodes was worried during his match against Cody Rhodes at AEW Double or Nothing 2019

Dustin Rhodes and Cody Rhodes wrestled a modern-era classic in the inaugural AEW pay-per-view Double or Nothing 2019. The long-awaited brother vs brother clash finally happened on a big stage and delivered in spades.

The match was dramatic, technically sound and told a wonderful story that put both men over. The American Nightmare came out on top as Dave Meltzer awarded the match five stars. While some may argue that he has been a bit lenient with AEW matches, this match absolutely deserved it.

However, while talking to Way of the Blade, the former Goldust revealed that he didn't mean to cut himself as deeply as he did. There was a lot of blood that flowed and had both him and the AEW EVP worried.

“We didn’t do that in WWE, unless you got busted open by the corner of the post or something for real. It was a hardway bleeding. It had been a long time and I was out of practice, let’s put it like that. I went deep, I hit a vein and it was excessive. I was actually scared at one point, and Cody looked at me and said ‘Are you okay?’ I said ‘Yeah, I’m fine.’ But I’m looking down, and I’ve looked at the pictures from some of the photographers that took the shots. And they’ve caught it in mid stream where the thing is shooting out, and it’s dripping out of my head. And it’s constant; it did not stop. It would not stop and I’m like ‘Holy s–t!’" Dustin Rhodes said.

Cody Rhodes and Dustin Rhodes had a very underwhelming match in WWE, causing fans to want this match at AEW Double or Nothing even more. Hopefully we get to see the brothers in action in an AEW ring again.
