#4. Cody Rhodes vs. Dustin Rhodes - AEW Double Or Nothing 2019

When fans think about the most emotional contest to ever take place in AEW, they will always think of AEW Double Or Nothing 2019. In the very first pay-per-view for All Elite Wrestling, Cody Rhodes challenged his older brother Dustin to the singles encounter that they were never able to have on a huge stage in WWE.

Both brothers had something to prove. Dustin wanted to show the world that he had a lot left in the tank despite his usage in WWE during his latter years, while Cody was one of the pillars of AEW and wanted a showstealing battle that fans would remember for years to come. Both men delivered on what they wanted to accomplish.

This was an old school wrestling conflict that most long-time fans beg for nowadays. Dustin was a valiant and determined babyface who wanted to put it all on the line in an effort to overcome his younger, in his prime, little brother. Cody was a cocky heel who underestimated what his older sibling still had left in his career.

Dustin bled profusely after going head first into an exposed turnbuckle, but he fought tooth and nail to secure the win. No matter how hard he fought, Cody wouldn't go down without a fight. He finally ended the contest with the Cross Rhodes to get the victory.

Following the match, Cody cut a powerful promo, challenging the Young Bucks and saying he needed his brother, which made many fans cry in attendance cry. AEW Double Or Nothing 2019 showed everyone that the company was here to stay and this match stole the show.
