Cody Rhodes Gets Pinned By Fan Dressed As Orange Cassidy, Taz And MJF Backstage, Venue Thanks AEW
- After last night's post-Dynamite dark matches, a young fan dressed as Orange Cassidy was brought into the ring with Cody Rhodes, Brandi Rhodes, MJF, Dustin Rhodes and The Young Bucks. Cody then called for a referee, got down on the mat and took the pin. Cody then wondered if that would hurt his win/loss record and joked "Orange" would now wrestle AEW World Champion Chris Jericho at Full Gear on November 9. During his speech, Cody also acknowledged security, crew, Taz's commentary and thanked the crowd. (Thanks to The Bob Culture Podcast)

- As noted, Taz guest commentated for next week's AEW Dark. Backstage, Taz took a photo with MJF and commented, "Kid might be a prodigy, but he's still an ass—-." MJF responded, "Whatever."
