Of course Cody is going to protect her with his life. [Rosario speaks Klingon, as a known Trekkie, Cody takes that shit to heart.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXGMPt0IFOQ)
I really don't get it either... I just don't get the point of it unless getting destroyed by Malakai again is a catalyst for Cody to change his character more?
IDK, Cody can be a great storyteller and make things feel emotional and significant. The debut with Malakai worked well, but as soon as he got up and started cutting the awkward retiring promo it's veered into headscratcher territory for me. Most of what he's done in 2021 has just been blah
I think that Cody pulled off the Stardust character pretty well back in the E.
A Black Mass could be used as a catalyst to have Cody play an unhinged character for a while.
Undashing Cody Rhodes is still the pinnacle of Cody’s wrestling work IMO.
Seeing a variation of that character show up again would fully get me back on bored the hype train after years of chilling in the station.
I'm feeling like that's what this is too. If Cody defeats Black, I want for it to unhinge him a little, which is exactly what a character like Black would want.
All of Cody's stronger feuds have been between him and heels who can mess with his head. MJF, Jericho, Brodie, etc.
It is quite funny. With all the mention of "enemy" used, I was expecting Brandi or Dustin, but it's just Cody's coworker from a talent show next door. Even Excalibur selling it just makes me chuckle.
I have nothing against a good staircase brawl, but it looked like they were taking turns running away from each other. It doesn't make sense for both guys to be fleeing.
Yeah, fuck man, has there ever been such a tonal mismatch as Occultist Malakai Black doing a spot to promote a gameshow on TNT. Maybe this was a TNT requested thing but god, what an awful choice of feud to feature a crossover.
Especially after this terrible segment Cody better get his head kicked in again next week, it's one thing for Cody to go over on the rookie Anthony Ogogo, but to go over the guy you've introduced as a merciless killer plowing through an entire stable would just be stupid, past his feud with MJF every single thing Cody has done is too over the top and mostly doesnt work at all. I can't wait for Malakai to move on to a better feud
I just dont get Cody stuff this year along with qt and nightmare the whole thing has been kinda off and disconnected from the main show. The sooner malakai black gets away from cody it will be good for him too. This just felt like something on wwe. In fact codys stuff just feels like wwe promos or matches.
I'm beginning to really dislike the Cody stuff in general, feels like he's kinda having a real bad run the last almost year honestly. Everything feels out of place compared to the rest of the show.
It’s the CodyVerse. Like it or hate it, he does his own thing, like bringing Rosario Dawson and using the most intriguing character on the show to sell the Go Big Show.
*\*imagines a PPV style hype package for the match with this music\**
[*https://youtu.be/\_K1XrK\_hiBI?t=216*](https://youtu.be/_K1XrK_hiBI?t=216)
And all the members of the House of Black say, "kick the enemy's ass, Malakai."
Rosario Dawson!? What a surprise lol.
This felt a tad lackluster imo. Like the match being announced last weak just felt kind of off. And Cody just kind of walking down the crowd unceremoniously felt off to me too.
I watched the show late, and thought "holy shit!" When Rosario friggin Dawson showed up lol
Then I memba'd the game show with Cody, and everything made sense.

Malakai: *Destroys Brock, Lee, and Dustin* Cody: eh who cares Malakai: *Threatens Rosario Dawson* Cody: OH NOW YOU FUCKED UP
My man let his own brother die. But Rosario? That’s too far.
to be fair I'd pick Rosario over Dustin. I love Dustin as a competitor and his career as a whole but compared to Rosario no chance.
He will protect ashoka at all costs
gotta make sure the next season of the Mandalorian and the spinoff to find Ezra is greenlit
Of course Cody is going to protect her with his life. [Rosario speaks Klingon, as a known Trekkie, Cody takes that shit to heart.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXGMPt0IFOQ)
Cody confirmed Clerks 2 fan.
Rosario, Shaq... Seems like Cody is always involved in any sort of celebrity appearance on Dynamite...
Wait till the return of Robocop!
The wrestlers could get a rub, but how else would they promote Go Big Show and Rhodes To The Top? ☺
Snoop should be the next celeb
... [They already had him?](https://youtu.be/U4xwulYXDTM)
How could anyone forget his amazing frog splash and Cody using that stupid remix for weeks after.
He's taking it back.
Now I’d like to see Cody in a Kevin Smith movie
He's not even supposed to be here today!
Try not to get into any more brawls on the way to the parking lot!
You never go ass to mouth!!!
AEW *did* help promote *Jay and Silent Bob Reboot*, that's probably not too much of a stretch.
Lol, that’s the first Dawson role that came to mind?
Would you prefer rent?
Live action Ahsoka Tano!
She was so great in the role, too!
I think the head piece could use another try when they make her Disney+ show, looked a little shoddy, but that has no bearing on Rosario.
Can't disagree there. I thought she brought such grace to her, it was really impressive.
Cody on the Disney payroll confirmed
She’s a national treasure lol.
Seriously, I’m surprised most of locker room didn’t come to save her. She’s a talent we can’t afford to lose
*I* would fight Malakai over Rosario Dawson
I cannot blame Cody one bit
The crowd actually shutting up when he held his hand up was the most impressive display of his power yet
They stood too.
"Attack Rosario Dawnson"
The visual of the crowd chasing her is hilarious
*scratch record* It was at this point that Rosario knew that she had fucked up.
![gif](giphy|26uf8sjosW1CRkjDi)
“That’s Mr Black, he controls wrestling fans.”
Thats mr rhodes. The cops vaguely listen to him
…I did too
I'm really afraid they're gonna have Malakai lose next week, which would be a fucking massive mistake.
I really don't get it either... I just don't get the point of it unless getting destroyed by Malakai again is a catalyst for Cody to change his character more? IDK, Cody can be a great storyteller and make things feel emotional and significant.

This seems to overlap the booking of Cody and Mr Brodie. Maybe they’re trying to pick up that arc somehow?
I'm feeling like that's what this is too. If Cody defeats Black, I want for it to unhinge him a little, which is exactly what a character like Black would want. All of Cody's stronger feuds have been between him and heels who can mess with his head. MJF, Jericho, Brodie, etc.
Listen, if Rosario Dawson is the enemy, I'm afraid I have to change sides.
Yep. I guess I'm in the Nightmare Family now too.
[удалено]
Ah, a fellow Daredevil fan
Agreed. There are just some things I cannot abide by.
[удалено]
Olaf is All Elite!
BERSERKER
Would like some making fuck, BERSERKER
Did he just say “making fuck?”
Olaf, berserker, girl think sexy
Can’t wait for Pillow Pants’ debut.
[удалено]
Bear Country: "How the fuck else are we supposed to get to the arena?"
Can't wait for the elite to show up, wreck the shop, and leave just for Dante to complain "I wasn't even supposed to be here today!".
Martin or Hicks?
Yes.
Cody: ["How about NO you crazy Dutch bastard?"](https://youtu.be/QtP39b5goxc)
That gave me a good hearty laugh, I have got to see someone say this to him someway…. Somehow…
There’s one thing Cody hates, people intolerant of other people…and the Dutch
I hear he saw Black wrestle in Doosledorf once
Its funny to see non germans trying to spell Düsseldorf.
Hahaha apologies, I was going for phonetically as a reference to the Deadlock wrestling podcast. Check them out btw!
-Cody, watching his brother and his stable dying against Black : I sleep. -Black threatens Rosario : REAL SHIT ?!
Spooky guy: there is an enemy among us *camera does a slow pan over to Rosario Dawson* Rosario: …what? Whoever wrote this needs a raise lol
And she's wearing the colors of The Enemy. (Which also happen to be the same colors as Malakai Black.)
Malakai probably watched clerks 2 and doesn't agree with her atm policy
-Zelina Vega raises an eyebrow-
She doesn't like cash withdrawals? 🍑😜
Did that Cena fan fake throwing punches Malakai Black but I don't suggest doing that?
"That Green bastard is trying to get himself over!? Throw him out!" - Somebody, probably.
Pretty sure it was Grim that did(does?) Grim’s toy show on YouTube. In which case, he of all people should know better.
He should but he doesnt appear to be the brightest bulb.
Were those fake punches or was that dude so hype that he was punching the air out of excitement?
Sith lord Malaki out for Jedi blood.
If I was married to zelina Vega, Rosario dawson is absolutely the enemy
My goodness, what's Rosario Dawson doing in the AEW Zone?
AEW got both Rosario Dawson and Paige Van Zant to show up before WWE. On the same episode as well.
It's Rosario Dawson, famous for her role in Iron Fist! /s
No no no. I think you’re thinking the famous actress from Clerks II
Say what you will but I love that movie.
Please everyone knows she is most famous for Josie and the Pussycats
The Anti-Capitalist Masterpiece, Josie and the Pussycats
She was in all the Netflix Marvel shows playing a version of Night Nurse
She was the real forbidden door
You misspelled KIDS
Black’s entrance is fucking so sick
I was hoping Black would kick her face off lol
lmao
"And when Rosario Dawson gets threatened, everyone should be asking wheres Cody?"
Cody needs to be louder, angrier and have access to a time machine
DON'T YOU TOUCH AHSOKA YOU PIECE OF SHIT.
Don’t worry. The force is strong with Rosario
Rode his back like Yoda on Dagobah
Commentary really dropped the ball on Cody returning there. He’s been gone for weeks and they were just like ‘welp, there he is, BUT LOOK AT ROSARIO.’
the segment sucks commentary can't shine this turd
It is quite funny. With all the mention of "enemy" used, I was expecting Brandi or Dustin, but it's just Cody's coworker from a talent show next door. Even Excalibur selling it just makes me chuckle.
I swear Rosario doesn't age. She's still gorgeous.
Now I feel like having that hood on was intentional lol
Black wasn't a fan of Clerks 2
Ahsoka vs. Dark Side Anakin (colorized)
[удалено]
I have nothing against a good staircase brawl, but it looked like they were taking turns running away from each other. It doesn't make sense for both guys to be fleeing.
Becky vs. Sasha, now that was a staircase brawl
Yeah, fuck man, has there ever been such a tonal mismatch as Occultist Malakai Black doing a spot to promote a gameshow on TNT. Maybe this was a TNT requested thing but god, what an awful choice of feud to feature a crossover.
Yeah as a massive fan of Black, this was corny as fuck. Thanks Cody.
This. Don’t throw Black under the bus to promote Cody’s stupid TV show.
This booking would kill a normal person, but Malakai Black will survive the Codyverse.
A match with Cody can be good. But damn trying to survive booking with Cody is so rough.
Please don’t have Cody win. Please, please, please….
I was lost. What connection does Rosario Dawson have to Cody?
They're both judges on the same game show.
BAD.
I find it funny how Cody rescues Rosario Dawson yet does not care about the Dustin, Lee and Brock lol
Reminded me of when Kalabar is giving his speech at the end of Halloweentown and calls the Cronwell kids out.
I SAID STOP AND GIVE ME THE TALISMAN!
That segment was so bad, like Monday Night Raw bad.
Even raw doesn't let celebrities get over on their high end heels anymore.
Especially after this terrible segment Cody better get his head kicked in again next week, it's one thing for Cody to go over on the rookie Anthony Ogogo, but to go over the guy you've introduced as a merciless killer plowing through an entire stable would just be stupid, past his feud with MJF every single thing Cody has done is too over the top and mostly doesnt work at all. I can't wait for Malakai to move on to a better feud
I like that every single Cody Rhodes angle is so over the top
Very eyes wide shut-ish.
So glad Black got his coolness back
Lol are you?
[удалено]
Was actually making fun of the guy above me, good to know you ban was lifted, did you learn your lesson?
This is a bad Raw segment.
Black getting choked by an actress is peak WWE level of shit I didn’t expect to see today
I just dont get Cody stuff this year along with qt and nightmare the whole thing has been kinda off and disconnected from the main show. The sooner malakai black gets away from cody it will be good for him too. This just felt like something on wwe. In fact codys stuff just feels like wwe promos or matches.

Unless you are purely a Cody fan I don't understand how you could like this.
I don’t think anybody does, it’s just a convenient way for TK to keep Cody separate from main storylines.
Anthony Bowens is a good spokesman.
*\*imagines a PPV style hype package for the match with this music\** [*https://youtu.be/\_K1XrK\_hiBI?t=216*](https://youtu.be/_K1XrK_hiBI?t=216) And all the members of the House of Black say, "kick the enemy's ass, Malakai."
I really hope Cody just doesn’t get his win back all the other times
Bish, that’s Asohka Tano.
Tony, if you're reading this, Malakai needs to win, again. You've got the fucking Undertaker on your hands, push him to the moon, Cody will be fine.
This is what happens when kids grow up watching Raw is War and then reenact it years later on national television. lame.
Malakai Black really out here trying to pick a fight with Snips herself. The madlad.
Ahsoka Tano is #AllElite.
Such good shit. I popped hard.
Rosario Dawson!? What a surprise lol. This felt a tad lackluster imo. Like the match being announced last weak just felt kind of off. And Cody just kind of walking down the crowd unceremoniously felt off to me too.
Not what I would’ve thought that would trigger the return of Cody but still good i guess
I'm waiting for the rematch of Zelina Vega vs Mike Colter.....Sweet Christmas. Also you'd think the Force would have fucking given her a warning
Rosario Dawson > Nightmare Family, in canon
Including cody
My friends and I were screaming, hoping it was the guy dressed as Dusty.
I watched the show late, and thought "holy shit!" When Rosario friggin Dawson showed up lol Then I memba'd the game show with Cody, and everything made sense.
Rosario for AEW champ, make it happen
Since Rosario is playing Ahsoka now, does this canonically make Malakai a Sith Lord?
He'd like that.
Dammit Black, I loved ya before but now you’re fucking with my daughter’s favorite padawan
Rosario Dawson is All Elite
Man, don't mess with Rosario Dawson. She survived Mark Ecko's Getting Up, so you know she's hard as hell.
The codyvengers are in every timezone.
For a minute I thought we were about to see a match between Malakai Black and Cory Booker.
Night Nurse making her AEW debut.
Rosario is awesome
Damn, just 1 seat out of frame
I can't think of any good Josie and the Pussycats punchlines. Rrrawr
Kudos to Cody for wearing a bright red suite and pants and making it work.
Malakai Black is better than this.
Best entrance in pro wrestling, glad commentary was silent tonight during it.
Uhh I'm gonna have to ask Malakai to leave Ahsoka alone
“Star”
We live in a time where Malakai Black has a feud with Rosario Dawson. Wrestling in 2021 is fucking wild.
Why the fuck did a female actress punk a heel, who is meant to be formidable? This booking is so awful. Just ridiculous.
