AEW Shares Photos Of Cody Rhodes’ Back After Flaming Table Spot

The American Nightmare took more of the terrifying bump than he intended.

Cody Rhodes and Andrade El Idolo attempted to settle their differences once and for all on Dynamite this week. The two competed in what wound up being a pretty brutal Atlanta Street Fight in Wednesday night’s main event. The match included Rhodes being whacked over the head with a laptop, and even an appearance from rapper T-Pain.

The match also included the on-screen return of Brandi Rhodes. Brandi popped up wearing a hoodie and a mask, pulling the latter down to reveal her face before dousing a table in kerosene and setting it alight. Cody was already preparing to put El Idolo through the table as the two of them were precariously perched atop the turnbuckle.

Cody proceeded to go ahead with his plan, hoping to further hurt El Idolo now the table was engulfed in flames. While the daredevil manoeuver won Cody the match, he was the one who appeared to take the must damage from the fire and the table. The American Nightmare opted for a reverse DDT through the table which meant it was his own back that took the brunt of the burning bump.

Rhodes took a few seconds to move past the shock of getting burned before gathering himself and going for the cover. Even then, flames were still visible on Cody’s arm and leg as the announcers correctedly yelled that he was still on fire. Photos of Cody’s back have been shared via the AEW Twitter account since the show went off the air, and as you can see for yourself above, it does not look good.

Cody’s back is incredibly red, and while some of that damage will have been done before the flaming table spot, getting burned definitely wouldn’t have helped. There are red marks all over his back and neck and some black material that seems to be stuck to Cody’s back. Possibly burned or even melted parts of the tabletop that will have since been removed from his skin. Painful stuff.

AEW’s Jim Ross Set To Miss Several Dynamite Broadcasts Due To Skin Cancer Treatment

Legendary AEW broadcaster Jim Ross has confirmed that he will miss around a month of work while he undergoes radiation therapy for skin cancer.

Jim Ross has confirmed that he will be absent from AEW programming until December 29 while he undergoes radiation therapy.

JR was recently diagnosed with skin cancer after discovering a strange growth on his leg. On a recent edition of his Grilling JR podcast, the legendary pro-wrestling announcer opened up about the treatment plan of action and revealed that he would be undergoing 22 rounds of radiation therapy.

Ross took to Twitter on Thursday, November 25 to announce his (hopefully) brief leave of absence.

“Due to my skin cancer care totaling 22 radiation treatments starting Monday, I will hopefully return to the announce desk on December 29 in Jacksonville,” Tweeted Ross.

Later, AEW president Tony Khan shared a message of support to his lead announcer.

“JR, everyone here at [AEW] wishes you the best. I think it’s a great gameplan you’ve got, we look forward to your return to commentary, hopefully in your new hometown Jacksonville FL [Daily’s Place] at New Year’s Smash at the end of December!” Khan tweeted. “We want you to kick the cancer’s ass, JR!”

New Japan’s Tomohiro Ishii Debuts On AEW Dynamite, Leads CHAOS To Victory

Veteran Japanese wrestler Tomohiro Ishii made his AEW debut during this week’s edition of AEW Dynamite, on which he teamed up with Orange Cassidy.

Veteran Japanese wrestler Tomohiro Ishii walked away from his AEW debut with a victory under his belt when he and Orange Cassidy defeated The Butcher and The Blade on the latest episode of AEW Dynamite on TNT.

It all went down in Norfolk, Virginia on the first episode of AEW Dynamite to air since Saturday’s Full Gear pay-per-view. Ishii and OC were accompanied to the ring by their CHAOS stablemates Rocky Romero, Chuck Taylor, Wheeler YUTA, and Kris Statlander, while The Butcher and The Blade had The Bunny, Matt Hardy, and a few other Hardy Family Office members in their corner … needless to say, chaos ensued.

Hardy and The Bunny did their best to sabotage Ishii’s AEW debut, but ultimately the experience and brute strength of New Japan’s NEVER Openweight Champion was too much for the HFO to overcome. The finish came when Orange Cassidy took out the HFO with a dive outside, allowing Ishii to land a massive lariat on The Blade followed by a brainbuster. Ishii then covered Blade for the 1-2-3, delivering a huge win to CHAOS and adding a W next to his name in the AEW record books.

In case you missed it, Ishii’s New Japan colleague Rocky Romero made his in-ring AEW debut against Bryan Danielson on last week’s Dynamite. Before the show kicked off, Romero approached The Best Friends (Orange Cassidy, Kris Statlander, Chuck Taylor, and Wheeler YUTA) with a tantalizing proposition. Romero informed the group that Kazuchika Okada had invited them to join his stable CHAOS. Taylor, who was a member of CHAOS from 20017-2019 accepted Romero and Okada’s offer on behalf of his teammates. The best friends then accompanied Romero to the ring for his match with Danielson on Dynamite as official CHAOS members.

Not much has come of the partnership between AEW and NJPW, but with several members of CHAOS infiltrating the AEW roster, it seems inevitable that CHAOS leader Okada will soon join them.

AEW Wastes No Time In Turning Bryan Danielson Heel During Dynamite

Bryan Danielson got the AEW audience to turn on him in a matter of minutes and will play the heel role while he feuds with Adam Page.

Only a few days after “Hangman” Adam Page was crowned the new AEW World Champion and shortly after Bryan Danielson won the right to be the No.1 contender, Danielson came out on the post-PPV episode of Dynamite and played the heel role while challenging Page.

It was National Cowboy Sh-t Day in Virginia and Page opened the show with the Dark Order to celebrate his win. It didn’t take long for Danielson to interrupt. While The American Dragon congratulated the new champion, he also said he was a bit surprised and disappointed that Kenny Omega wasn’t standing across from him as the titleholder. Page responded that he’s right, Omega isn’t the champion, and that if he wasn’t mistaken, Page was able to beat Omega in under 30 minutes. This of course, was in reference to Danielson and Omega fighting to a time-limit draw a few weeks back.

Danielson suggested Page be careful and said he wasn’t the kind of competitor to just talk about his wins, he actually wrestles every week. He mentioned that he wrestled one night after WrestleMania and that obviously earned him a chorus of boos from the crowd. Danielson said, “of course Virginia boos hard work.” Danielson said that Page had a reputation for having a long list of excuses and said he wanted to fight Page with no excuses. He had a match with Evil Uno after the commercial break and essentially destroyed him, playing the heel role throughout the match. He even posed while applying his submission sleeper.

After his win over Uno, Danielson addressed the crowd and said he was going to kick the heads in of every member of Dark Order and challenged Colt Cabana for next week in Cabana’s hometown of Chicago.

If there was any question about how AEW was going to sell Danielson and Page as a babyface versus babyface feud, those questions were answered on Wednesday. Danielson will play the heel role and he’s incredibly good at it. Within a matter of 25 minutes, he turned an entire audience against him and cemented himself as the brand’s biggest bad guy with Omega announcing he was taking some time off.
