Cody Rhodes suddenly namedropped during AEW Double or Nothing 2025

WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes was mentioned recently during the AEW Double or Nothing Pre-Show. Rhodes was one of the company’s EVPs who left his mark, and a piece of history featuring him was discussed.

AEW was launched in 2019, and Double or Nothing was the company’s first pay-per-view. This featured several blockbuster matches, including a brother vs. brother match between The American Nightmare and Dustin Rhodes. Cody ended up winning, but not without an overwhelming level of violence, which left both men in a pool of each other’s blood.

During the Buy-In pre-show, Alex Marvez was backstage with the Sons of Texas (Dustin Rhodes and Sammy Guevara) ahead of their AEW Tag Team Title match against The Hurt Business. Marvez asked Dustin about his contest with his brother Cody Rhodes that happened six years ago, and whether tonight could feature the same amount of violence.

The Natural responded and looked ready for any scenario. He wanted Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin to bring it on and hurt him as much as possible. He mentioned seeing and experiencing his fair share of everything, and nothing could faze him.

Cody Rhodes’ match with Dustin is one of the most iconic matches in the company’s history, and it is interesting to see this often being mentioned.

Enzo is a Pro Wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda, reporting on AEW. He is currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Multimedia Studies, which influenced his decision of taking up sports writing professionally, and has been an avid fan of the athletic theater since childhood. He believes readers deserve authentic and unique content and aims to report in a manner which pro wrestling fans can easily relate to.

Growing up, Enzo admired former world champions like AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, Bryan Danielson, Triple H, and Randy Orton for their finishing moves. As an adult, he started to appreciate their character work, as they juggled between heel and babyface gimmicks.

If allowed to produce one final storyline involving his idols, he would have Orton lock horns with John Cena, would be their one last big feud as both of them seem to be approaching the tail end of their careers.

Other than pro wrestling, Enzo enjoys keeping up with Basketball, Football, and Formula One. He also loves watching films, playing video games, and listening to music.
