AEW shares graphic photo of Cody Rhodes' back; MJF reacts

On tonight's edition of AEW Dynamite, MJF unleashed his wrath on his former mentor Cody Rhodes in a disturbing segment to close out the show. The segment saw Rhodes getting ten lashes from MJF and his sidekick, Wardlow. To cap off the segment, MJF hit Cody between the legs and fled the spot through the crowd. During the ruckus, a fan tried to attack MJF but was immediately put down by the heelish duo and security.

Soon after, All Elite Wrestling's official Twitter handle posted a gruesome image showing the aftermath of MJF's lashes on Rhodes' back. As can be seen in this picture, Cody's back looks all messed up after the segment that ended Dynamite. MJF responded to the tweet as well, stating that Cody should have just stayed down.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
