Cody Rhodes made his surprise return to AEW television this week, storming through the crowd to attack Malakai Black during one of his promos. Black appeared midway through the episode and claimed there was a traitor in his midst “wearing the colors of the enemy.” The camera then cut to actress Rosario Dawson (one of Rhodes’ co-hosts on The Go-Big Show), who was wearing a Nightmare Family jacket. Black began to approach the Daredevil star, prompting Rhodes to arrive. Dawson then jumped on Black’s back and kept him distracted long enough for Rhodes to arrive and start punching.
