Shawn Spears vs. Dustin Rhodes added to AEW Double or Nothing
Saturday’s AEW Double or Nothing card appears to be complete with the addition of Shawn Spears vs. Dustin Rhodes, made official on Wednesday’s edition of Dynamite.
Playing a broadcaster on “SSN” (Shawn Spears News), Spears mocked Rhodes and said he was retired before making a comment about how Rhodes had no problem popping pills 12 years ago. He then said he was upset about not being booked for Saturday’s show and challenged Rhodes. The match was then announced by the broadcast team a few minutes later without Rhodes appearing to officially accept.
Spears and Rhodes have wrestled once in a tag team match on AEW Dark, but never in a singles match. Spears has won his last three singles matches while Rhodes was last seen in a losing effort to Lance Archer in the TNT championship tournament semifinals.
As of now, Saturday’s pay-per-view is as follows:
- AEW Champion Jon Moxley vs. Brodie Lee
- AEW TNT Championship: Cody vs. Lance Archer
- Stadium Stampede: The Inner Circle vs. The Elite & Matt Hardy
- AEW Women’s Champion Nyla Rose vs. Hikaru Shida
- Casino Ladder Match
- MJF vs. Jungle Boy
- Britt Baker vs. Kris Statlander
- Private Party vs. Best Friends
