Cody Rhodes had his toughest test yet as he put his AEW TNT Championship on the line against Brodie Lee and he didn’t pass it.
Both athletes aren't wasting any time in your main event of the evening for the TNT Championship!

Lee took the fight immediately to Rhodes, which caught the champion off-guard and tossed him out of the ring. Rhodes was never able to recover and Lee kept the pressure on the entire time. It was a one-sided beating the entire match as Lee hit a spinning lariat to claim the title.
Absolute domination on the part of Mr. @ThisBrodieLee! Can @CodyRhodes survive?!

After the win, Lee declared that the Dark Order are officially on top. Rhodes was about to be taken out on a stretcher when the rest of the Dark Order interfered. Lee and the rest of the Dark Order then beat up Arn Anderson and dumped Rhodes back onto the ground. Brandi Rhodes would then check on her husband and get choked out by Anna Jay as a result.
The entire Nightmare Family is laid to waste by Dark Order. Rewatch #AEWDynamite via the @tntdrama app or https://t.co/GdI7QAsxEP for our International fans. #AEWonTNT @AEWonTNT pic.twitter.com/fBpi4FWg7Q
