During the tapings of AEW Dark at Universal Studios Soundstage 19 in Orlando, Florida, Cody Rhodes debuted his new masked character.
With Fuego Del Sol in his corner, Rhodes introduced the gimmick after teasing it recently. He tweeted that an unnamed masked superstar will be making his debut on Dark to partner with Fuego.
Collectively known as "Fast 2 Fuego," the duo defeated the team of Kid Bandit and Dean Alexander.

@FuegoDelSol will teach 'em the ropes. I hope Cody Rhodes can give them some pointers when he sees this match.

It remains to be seen if Fast 2 Fuego is just a one-off team or if the duo will regularly team up on AEW Dark episodes.

PAC took out El Idolo, who has been feuding with the former WWE Superstar for months now. Eventually, Cody Rhodes secured the win with a Cross Rhodes on Black, followed by a Tiger Driver '98.
