The second match of the 7/29 edition of AEW Dynamite featured Cody defending the TNT Championship against WARHORSE. Cody was able to retain his title by way of submission and after the match, both he and WARHORSE embraced each other and were attacked from behind by Dark Order members John Silver and Alex Reynolds.
Reynolds and Silver then targeted Cody’s cornerman Arn Anderson and coming from the back to make the save was former WWE Intercontinental Champion Matt Cardona, formerly known as Zack Ryder. Cardona took out both Dark Order members and had his hand raised by Cody before the segment was over.
