There's no doubt Black is a force to be reckoned with, and AEW shouldn't drop the ball with him; at least not now. At this point, Black taking a loss could derail the momentum he's gained since his debut a few months ago.
There's a slight chance that the company might book Black to go over Cody again. It's possible that the match could be a squash, similar to their previous encounter.
Although it would end their feud, Black would emerge as a megastar. Let's be clear, Cody has nothing to gain or lose from this storyline.

Hollywood star Rosario Dawson recently confronted Black and, in fact, jumped on his back to pave the way for Cody to initiate a brawl with his arch-rival.
One has to wonder why AEW put Dawson in the feud between Cody and Black. The American Nightmare could've himself come face-to-face with the former NXT Champion. Regardless, AEW may have planned a shocking swerve by having the Hollywood star help Cody overcome the wrath of Black.
AEW doesn't necessarily have to explain such a finish, given that they already have one when Dawson interjected into this rivalry in the first place. Booking such a finish would be a win-win situation. Not only will Cody even the score with Black, but the latter will also be protected as he won't have to take a clean loss.
