Cody Rhodes Wins TNT Championship at AEW Rampage Holiday Bash

Cody Rhodes defeated Sammy Guevara to win the TNT Championship at AEW Rampage Holiday Bash on Christmas night. Rhodes ended Guevara's short reign to begin his second as TNT Champion, though the crowd dynamics are much different this time around. The first time Cody held the TNT Championship, he was arguably AEW's most beloved babyface. Now, Rhodes is a heel who still believes he's a babyface, in the same way John Cena and Roman Reigns were booked for years, but on purpose. Beating the white meat babyface champion Guevara takes Cody's heel heat to a new level, especially since Rhodes did it by teasing a Pedigree only to hit the Tiger Driver '98. Legendary wrestling booker David Crockett was on hand to present the belt to Rhodes.

Personally, The Chadster doesn't care if Crockett is the king of the wild frontier or not. By aligning with AEW, Crockett is a total traitor! Using references to poor Triple H, who is still in the hospital recovering from AEW bullying NXT off Wednesday nights, is extremely disrespectful to the pro wrestling business, though The Chadster is used to that sort of thing from AEW by now. So is having a top babyface that everybody hates but doing it on purpose. Auughh man! So unfair!

All in all, AEW Rampage Holiday Bash ruined The Chadster's Christmas this year. The Chadster hopes that Tony Khan, or should The Chadster call him The Grinch, is pleased with himself. Here are some highlights from the main event last night:
