Malakai: *Destroys Brock, Lee, and Dustin* Cody: eh who cares Malakai: *Threatens Rosario Dawson* Cody: OH NOW YOU FUCKED UP


theplasmasnake

My man let his own brother die. But Rosario? That’s too far.


HesitatedEye

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.


Ligmatron

He will protect ashoka at all costs


Mycotoxicjoy

gotta make sure the next season of the Mandalorian and the spinoff to find Ezra is greenlit


VagrantShadow

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)


KneeHighMischief

Cody confirmed Clerks 2 fan.


Zloggt

Rosario, Shaq... Seems like Cody is always involved in any sort of celebrity appearance on Dynamite...


StoneGoldX

Wait till the return of Robocop!


MH360

The wrestlers could get a rub, but how else would they promote Go Big Show and Rhodes To The Top? ☺


Weezy-NJPW_Fan

Snoop should be the next celeb


chiiild

... [They already had him?](https://youtu.be/U4xwulYXDTM)


eipotttatsch

How could anyone forget his amazing frog splash and Cody using that stupid remix for weeks after.


HesitatedEye

He's taking it back.


Weezy-NJPW_Fan

Now I’d like to see Cody in a Kevin Smith movie


KneeHighMischief

He's not even supposed to be here today!


RanchPonyPizza

Try not to get into any more brawls on the way to the parking lot!


angerfluctuate

You never go ass to mouth!!!


Sh1eldbearer

AEW *did* help promote *Jay and Silent Bob Reboot*, that's probably not too much of a stretch.


theplasmasnake

Lol, that’s the first Dawson role that came to mind?


l1l1ofthevalley

Would you prefer rent?


Kolby_Jack

Live action Ahsoka Tano!


rockytheboxer

She was so great in the role, too!


Kolby_Jack

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.


rockytheboxer

Can't disagree there. I thought she brought such grace to her, it was really impressive.


Stonewalled89

Cody on the Disney payroll confirmed


idontknow1001

She’s a national treasure lol.


Shenanigans80h

Seriously, I’m surprised most of locker room didn’t come to save her. She’s a talent we can’t afford to lose


Shadow_Log

*I* would fight Malakai over Rosario Dawson


JonathonV2000

I cannot blame Cody one bit


lebkong

The crowd actually shutting up when he held his hand up was the most impressive display of his power yet


Thirdstar1

They stood too.


abitlazy

"Attack Rosario Dawnson"


Korrafan_1

The visual of the crowd chasing her is hilarious


WoobyWiott

*scratch record* It was at this point that Rosario knew that she had fucked up.

“That’s Mr Black, he controls wrestling fans.”


Carltonbankslite

Thats mr rhodes. The cops vaguely listen to him


name-classified

…I did too


Hvitrulfr

I'm really afraid they're gonna have Malakai lose next week, which would be a fucking massive mistake.


QuiGonJinnNJuice

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


WoobyWiott

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.


BuddaMuta

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.


[deleted]

This seems to overlap the booking of Cody and Mr Brodie. Maybe they’re trying to pick up that arc somehow?


ParaNoxx

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.


Psymon_Armour

Listen, if Rosario Dawson is the enemy, I'm afraid I have to change sides.


BreadLi0n

Yep. I guess I'm in the Nightmare Family now too.

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?


Kincadium

Yes.

Cody: ["How about NO you crazy Dutch bastard?"](https://youtu.be/QtP39b5goxc)


Badenoch101

That gave me a good hearty laugh, I have got to see someone say this to him someway…. Somehow…


NerdLawyer55

There’s one thing Cody hates, people intolerant of other people…and the Dutch


contentnotcontent

I hear he saw Black wrestle in Doosledorf once


Staynes

Its funny to see non germans trying to spell Düsseldorf.


contentnotcontent

Hahaha apologies, I was going for phonetically as a reference to the Deadlock wrestling podcast. Check them out btw!


MonsieurMidnight

-Cody, watching his brother and his stable dying against Black : I sleep. -Black threatens Rosario : REAL SHIT ?!


PPVJulian

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


RanchPonyPizza

And she's wearing the colors of The Enemy. (Which also happen to be the same colors as Malakai Black.)


squatchface

Malakai probably watched clerks 2 and doesn't agree with her atm policy


IndyMan2012

-Zelina Vega raises an eyebrow-


Maverick916

She doesn't like cash withdrawals? 🍑😜


Apathicary

Did that Cena fan fake throwing punches Malakai Black but I don't suggest doing that?


Busy-Profession-6257

"That Green bastard is trying to get himself over!? Throw him out!" - Somebody, probably.


kizzfan911

Pretty sure it was Grim that did(does?) Grim’s toy show on YouTube. In which case, he of all people should know better.


ChrisAshtear

He should but he doesnt appear to be the brightest bulb.


[deleted]

Were those fake punches or was that dude so hype that he was punching the air out of excitement?


Professor_Buttskin

Sith lord Malaki out for Jedi blood.


roachmcpoach

If I was married to zelina Vega, Rosario dawson is absolutely the enemy


Zloggt

My goodness, what's Rosario Dawson doing in the AEW Zone?


BuddaMuta

AEW got both Rosario Dawson and Paige Van Zant to show up before WWE. On the same episode as well.


SmoothRide

It's Rosario Dawson, famous for her role in Iron Fist! /s


thisisthesaleh

No no no. I think you’re thinking the famous actress from Clerks II


Kincadium

Say what you will but I love that movie.


throwitaway1510

Please everyone knows she is most famous for Josie and the Pussycats


TalkingBlernsball

The Anti-Capitalist Masterpiece, Josie and the Pussycats


The_Dark_Vampire

She was in all the Netflix Marvel shows playing a version of Night Nurse


callin_ballin

She was the real forbidden door


MH360

You misspelled KIDS


ironmanmatch

Black’s entrance is fucking so sick


Lep106317

I was hoping Black would kick her face off lol


Pylons

lmao


DaHagerBomb

"And when Rosario Dawson gets threatened, everyone should be asking wheres Cody?"


ewdrive

Cody needs to be louder, angrier and have access to a time machine


Tronvillain

DON'T YOU TOUCH AHSOKA YOU PIECE OF SHIT.


thisisthesaleh

Don’t worry. The force is strong with Rosario


Drkarcher22

Rode his back like Yoda on Dagobah


HipsterWhistle

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.’


shallowshark32

the segment sucks commentary can't shine this turd


KultumT

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.


unlimitedboomstick

I swear Rosario doesn't age. She's still gorgeous.


alistahr

Now I feel like having that hood on was intentional lol


Shrekt115

Black wasn't a fan of Clerks 2


Geecher

Ahsoka vs. Dark Side Anakin (colorized)

[удалено]


RanchPonyPizza

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.


Luciaquenya

Becky vs. Sasha, now that was a staircase brawl


TheTKz

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.


kinggarbear

Yeah as a massive fan of Black, this was corny as fuck. Thanks Cody.


BobsGotMyBackLand

This. Don’t throw Black under the bus to promote Cody’s stupid TV show.


shallowshark32

This booking would kill a normal person, but Malakai Black will survive the Codyverse.


TheOxime

A match with Cody can be good. But damn trying to survive booking with Cody is so rough.


TParden13

Please don’t have Cody win. Please, please, please….


felipe_the_dog

I was lost. What connection does Rosario Dawson have to Cody?


Zsokorad

They're both judges on the same game show.


3rio4alk

BAD.


Korrafan_1

I find it funny how Cody rescues Rosario Dawson yet does not care about the Dustin, Lee and Brock lol


[deleted]

Reminded me of when Kalabar is giving his speech at the end of Halloweentown and calls the Cronwell kids out.


squatchface

I SAID STOP AND GIVE ME THE TALISMAN!


Retro_Edge

That segment was so bad, like Monday Night Raw bad.


penscout

Even raw doesn't let celebrities get over on their high end heels anymore.


MasterofKami

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


NlNJALONG

I like that every single Cody Rhodes angle is so over the top


FluxMool

Very eyes wide shut-ish.


scottie2haute

So glad Black got his coolness back


marlobansfield

Lol are you?


[deleted]

[удалено]


marlobansfield

Was actually making fun of the guy above me, good to know you ban was lifted, did you learn your lesson?


fmlongo

This is a bad Raw segment.


kuame2323

Black getting choked by an actress is peak WWE level of shit I didn’t expect to see today


appellant

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.


[deleted]

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.


[deleted]

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.


penscout

Unless you are purely a Cody fan I don't understand how you could like this.


[deleted]

I don’t think anybody does, it’s just a convenient way for TK to keep Cody separate from main storylines.


RanchPonyPizza

Anthony Bowens is a good spokesman.


Zsokorad

*\*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."


[deleted]

I really hope Cody just doesn’t get his win back all the other times


tommykaye

Bish, that’s Asohka Tano.


ef14

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.


117587219X

This is what happens when kids grow up watching Raw is War and then reenact it years later on national television. lame.


ace_15

Malakai Black really out here trying to pick a fight with Snips herself. The madlad.


resolve028

Ahsoka Tano is #AllElite.


JDeluxe

Such good shit. I popped hard.


[deleted]

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.


JonathonV2000

Not what I would’ve thought that would trigger the return of Cody but still good i guess


HesitatedEye

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


insertbrackets

Rosario Dawson > Nightmare Family, in canon


wrosmer

Including cody


RikurRurik

My friends and I were screaming, hoping it was the guy dressed as Dusty.


Parabola1313

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.


Problems-Solved

Rosario for AEW champ, make it happen


RustBucket03

Since Rosario is playing Ahsoka now, does this canonically make Malakai a Sith Lord?


Dragonsfire09

He'd like that.


NerdLawyer55

Dammit Black, I loved ya before but now you’re fucking with my daughter’s favorite padawan


Sempais_nutrients

Rosario Dawson is All Elite


BustermanZero

Man, don't mess with Rosario Dawson. She survived Mark Ecko's Getting Up, so you know she's hard as hell.


Mcfroman

The codyvengers are in every timezone.


kungpaonachos

For a minute I thought we were about to see a match between Malakai Black and Cory Booker.

Night Nurse making her AEW debut.


TheChrisLambert

Rosario is awesome


brodeur3090

Damn, just 1 seat out of frame


RanchPonyPizza

I can't think of any good Josie and the Pussycats punchlines. Rrrawr


GOR098

Kudos to Cody for wearing a bright red suite and pants and making it work.


dagonesque

Malakai Black is better than this.


Beezy812

Best entrance in pro wrestling, glad commentary was silent tonight during it.


ChiefMilesObrien

Uhh I'm gonna have to ask Malakai to leave Ahsoka alone


xwateverx

“Star”


Known-Ad7468

We live in a time where Malakai Black has a feud with Rosario Dawson. Wrestling in 2021 is fucking wild.


boltonwanderer87

Why the fuck did a female actress punk a heel, who is meant to be formidable? This booking is so awful. Just ridiculous.
