Shawn Spears revealed that he went after his former friend because Cody Rhodes referred to him as a 'good hand' after his signing was announced. Spears alleged that Cody has constantly used people throughout his career and thrown them away when he's done with them. Shawn Spears has brought in Tully Blanchard as his manager, who will be by his side at All Out.
Brandi Rhodes also got involved when she said that Shawn Spears' 15 minutes were up and hinted that there will be a price to pay when the two wrestlers face each other. Her exact words were:
"Ten staples to the back of my beloved's head, that was your 15 minutes. I really hope you enjoyed them!"
As mentioned earlier, Shawn Spears attacked MJF and brawled with Cody Rhodes. Shawn Spears attempted to hit Cody Rhodes with a chair but was saved by MJF. Shawn Spears bolted from the ring.
According to Pat Laprade, It appears that as Shawn Spears was about to leave, he was brought back in by TDT and they beat him up alongside Rhodes and MJF.
All three of Cody's matches in each of the AEW Pay-Per-Views were well-received, with his match against Dustin Rhodes being rated as one of the best of the year. It looks like Cody Rhodes' match with Shawn Spears is not going to be any different. It should be interesting once the two face off at All Out.
