At Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, Cody Rhodes stood center-ring and talked directly to every viewer. He spoke about how the company set out to take their minds off what was going on around them.
The Elite, who had been torn apart in the first months of All Elite Wrestling, came together and reunited under these difficult times.
In a moment that would have generated an earth shattering pop in Rochester where the show was supposed to take place, Brodie Lee made his AEW debut as the Exalted One of the Dark Order.
To end the show, The Elite revealed their tag team partner against The Inner Circle in the debuting Matt Hardy.
There were memorable debuts, impactful promos and good in-ring action that showed the world how AEW planned to still deliver quality despite the global pandemic.
