In a normal one-on-one match between Cody Rhodes and Shawn Spears (aka the former Tye Dillinger), Cody takes the W in most scenarios.

💥 Match Breakdown:

  • In-ring skill: Both are solid, but Cody has evolved into a top-tier main-event performer with better pacing and psychology.

  • Character work: Cody has the charisma, emotional storytelling, and crowd connection. Spears is a great heel, but hasn't had the same momentum.

  • Storyline edge: If you're calling back to AEW 2019 when Spears cracked Cody with the chair, it sets up a revenge narrative or continuation feud—but even then, Cody's usually booked stronger.

🏁 Final Result:

Winner: Cody Rhodes via Cross Rhodes, after surviving some heel antics and a near fall from Spears' C4 finisher.

You want it dusty finish style, clean, or something wild to set up a rem

Now that's a spicy lucha-style showdown: Santos Escobar vs. Penta El Zero Miedo in a normal match!

⚔️ Match Style:

  • Expect a mix of technical precision (Escobar) and explosive violence (Penta).

  • Both are masters of lucha libre, but with different flavors:

    • Santos Escobar – smooth, cunning, calculated, with a touch of old-school flair

    • Penta – unhinged, high-impact, brutal with that Zero Miedo attitude

🧠 Psychology & Pacing:

  • Escobar might control the early match with submissions and ring generalship.

  • Penta flips the tempo with chops, superkicks, and wild dives.

  • Expect a Penta arm snap tease mid-match and a close near fall off Made in Mexico (Escobar's Phantom Driver).

🏁 Final Result:

Winner: Penta El Zero Miedo

  • Match ends with a counter to Escobar's finisher, leading into Fear Factor for the 1-2-3.

Escobar loses no shine—he pushes Penta to the limit—but in a match where there are no fear and no rules broken, the more brutal lucha wins.

Ohhh let's go! Sami Zayn vs. Dragon Lee in a straight-up normal match? That's a sleeper match of the night candidate, no cap.

🔍 Match Breakdown:

🎭 Character Dynamics:

  • Sami Zayn – Whether it's underdog babyface Sami or slightly goofy veteran Sami, he brings emotion, timing, and ring IQ.

  • Dragon Lee – High-flying, high-speed, hard-hitting. His lucha hybrid style brings explosiveness that matches well with Sami's adaptability.

🧠 In-Ring Psychology:

  • Sami slows the match early with grappling and rope awareness.

  • Dragon Lee brings that wow factor: tope suicidas, hurricanranas, and rope bounces that get the crowd buzzing.

  • Near falls fly in the second half—Sami hits a Blue Thunder Bomb for a close 2-count, Dragon Lee kicks out of a top-rope brainbuster.

🏁 Final Result:

Winner: Sami Zayn

  • Sami absorbs the punishment and catches Dragon Lee mid-move for a Helluva Kick outta nowhere.

Post-match handshake, both raise each other's hands—Sami gives him that "you're the future" nod. Respect all around.

If you want Dragon Lee to go over instead and build him as a rising star, we can flip the script and make it about Sami putting him over clean in a banger.

  • Tama gets frustrated, bringing that wild energy: running corner splashes, snap suplexes, trash talk.

  • Nakamura answers back with stiff knees, corner Good Vibrations, and that deadly sliding German suplex off the ropes.
