AEW Double or Nothing 2020: 5 Big Takeaways from the PPV

#3 Cody as AEW TNT Champion

Cody Rhodes is our first TNT Champion. Really thought Archer should’ve got the rub but great match none the less. Tyson’s reactions throughout the match were hilarious.#DoubleOrNothing pic.twitter.com/TUmMKr9GrR

Cody Rhodes became the first-ever AEW TNT Champion after an intense battle with Lance Archer at Double or Nothing and was presented the belt by none other than Mike Tyson.

Cody was the right choice for AEW

His victory was another example of AEW making a good booking decision on the pay-per-view. Cody is the most beloved babyface in all of AEW, as well as one of their top talents in the ring.

Given that the TNT title is named after AEW's television partner, you would expect to see the belt defended often on Dynamite. Cody can have a solid match with pretty much anyone on the AEW roster and is a natural choice as the first champion.

That is not to say that his feud with Archer needs to be over though. The pair have one of the most personal rivalries in AEW at present. There is more to be told in their story.

Archer and his advisor, Jake "The Snake" Roberts have gone after the Rhodes family repeatedly in recent times. Cody will, no doubt, seek full revenge on Archer soon.
