Over the last few weeks I have single-handedly elevated his career by dedicating upwards of 250 words to his talent, work ethic, and all-around deservedness of a singles push. No need to thank me, Mr. Sky.<\/p>\n<p>In all seriousness, I am hyped about Cody vs. Scorpio Sky. Not just because both of them are extremely talented, charismatic and athletic performers, but because I believe that Cody\u2019s run with the TNT title has done a great job elevating everyone that he has faced and Sky is due some elevation. Head over to twitter and you\u2019ll find plenty of people whinging that Rhodes is only doing this stuff to elevate his own status and solidify his \u201cman of the people\u201d role in the Wrestling community. Maybe that\u2019s true. But who cares why someone is doing the right thing as long as they keep doing the right thing? A stronger lower and mid-card leads to a stronger AEW, and a stronger AEW leads to a stronger industry, and a stronger Wrestling Industry is good for owners, workers, and fans alike.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>RECOMMENDED: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2020\/08\/07\/aew-dynamite-hits-misses-8-5-orange-cassidy-debates-jericho-with-eric-bischoff-moderating-moxley-vs-darby-12-man-tag-match-mjf-campaign-headquarters-more\/\">AEW DYNAMITE HITS &amp; MISSES 8\/5: Cassidy debates Jericho with Bischoff, Moxley vs. Darby, 12-man tag, MJF campaign HQs, more<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2017154429\"><div id=\"pwtor-1653175865\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>AEW DYNAMITE PRIMER AUGUST 12, 2020 AIRS ON TNT, 8:00 PM EST BY JOSHUA CHAMBERS (@Josh_Chambers), PWTORCH CONTRIBUTOR Arena This week\u2019s episode will emanate from Daily\u2019s Place in Jacksonville, Fla.
