After the match, it was revealed that Rhodes sustained some pretty painful burn injuries due to going through the table.

On a high note, hopefully this is an end to the feud between Rhodes and Andrade, which has gone on for a while now. Fans may have been jeering Rhodes throughout the match, but both wrestlers put on a memorable show.
Cody Rhodes suffered burns and boos, this could speed up his inevitable heel turn
Don't you know you gotta keep it TRANQUILO like @AndradeElIdolo? #AEWDynamite #AEWonTNT https://t.co/uBpySViuH6
Throughout the match, Cody Rhodes was still being booed, even though he fought his heart out. Fans were happier to see Rhodes endure pain than Andrade. This, combined with suffering burns, could be the catalyst for Rhodes to finally turn heel in AEW.
Unknowingly for Andrade, setting Rhodes up for a dive through the table would end with him receiving an Avalanche Inverted Suplex. However, Cody picked up the win and pinned an only slightly burned Andrade. Commentators noted the odd substance on Rhodes' back since the start of the match. The substance could likely have lessened the burn, but Rhodes' back came down completely on the flames regardless.
As fans, we can only speculate on the severity of the burns, but AEW's Twitter account shared some backstage images of Rhodes after the match.
AEW medical staff likely came prepared to make sure Cody Rhodes didn't sustain more severe injuries.
Brandi's interference could once again be a sign that Rhodes is turning heel soon. The response from his hometown crowd in a match where he legitimately hurt himself could be the tipping point.
