AEW: Cody vs. Warhorse Announced, Young Bucks Match Draws Over 1 Million on Dynamite

Cody vs. Warhorse

Cody’s TNT Championship open challenge opponent this coming Wednesday on Dynamite will be indie wrestler Warhorse.

Warhorse has most frequently recently wrestled for indie promotion IWTV, where he’s the current IWTV Independent Wrestling Champion.

There was some speculation that Warhorse would be Cody’s opponent this past Wednesday when it was hyped that Cody would face “one of the top independent wrestlers” in the business. Cody defeated Eddie Kingston on Wednesday.

You asked for it, AEW is giving it to you❗️

(but I predict this won’t be long, he doesn’t get outside of 5 minutes with me)
