Cody vs Joey Janela kicked off AEW Dynamite
AEW Dynamite kicked off with Cody taking on Joey Janela. Cody and Joey Janela started off with some chain wrestling before trading chops. Cody hit a delayed suplex and Janela replied with a jumping elbow strike. The match eventually spilled out to ringside.
With Cody on the entrance ramp area, Janela went from a running start. Cody dodged it and hit Janela with a Disaster kick out there on the entrance ramp before following it up with a moonsault onto the floor.
Cody signaled for the Cross Rhodes but Janela saw it coming and blocked it. Cody hit a powerslam instead before going for another Disaster Kick. Janela had it scouted and reversed it into a high-angle German Suplex. He followed it up with a running clothesline.
Cody replied with a Cody Cutter from the top rope but it was only a near fall. This was followed by both men trading strikes. However, in the end, Cody pulled out a Cross Rhodes out of nowhere and pinned Janel after it.
