Cody Rhodes Crowned First-Ever TNT Champion at AEW's Double or Nothing Pay-Per-View

Cody Rhodes carved his name even further into wrestling history on Saturday night, defeating Lance Archer to crown himself the first-ever TNT Champion at AEW's Double or Nothing pay-per-view.

"It was a privilege to have that moment in the ring," said Rhodes. "Look at this from the perspective of what is happening in the world. People are losing their lives. There needs to be happiness, wrestling needs to endure, so that was a great moment to share."

Rhodes hit his signature Cross Rhodes three different times on Archer, with the third time being the charm. The story was exceptional in its build, and the narrative was clearly established as Rhodes needed to overcome every obstacle hurled at him by the monstrous Archer.
