AEW wrestler Cody Rhodes references Triple H in his match on Dynamite

#1 AEW Double or Nothing, May 25, 2019 - Cody Rhodes vs Dustin Rhodes: Destroys Triple H's throne

Expand Tweet

AEW Double or Nothing in 2019 was the very time when Cody Rhodes referenced Triple H. He faced his brother Dustin Rhodes in a critically-acclaimed match which immediately put the wrestling world on notice.

But during his entrance, Cody and Brandi Rhodes walked down the ramp, pulled out a sledeghammer from underneath the ring and motioned back to the stage. A throne emerged that looked suspiciously similar to Triple's epic Conan, the barbarian entrance at Wrestlemania 22 in 2006. He then delivered a smash heard around the world, destroying the throne and opening the first salvo in a new wrestling war.

While the whole segment might come across as overly theatrical, there's no denying that AEW's growth in the last couple of years has been exponential ever since. All of this can be traced back to this one night where Cody channeled first his inner Triple H.
