prevnextTNT Championship: Cody Rhodes vs. Orange Cassidy — Lumberjack Match
Not personally satisfying - I wanted a W.
But the “champions’ advantage” is something every competitor is aware of.
Any narrative about OC not being able to slug it out or push it into that next gear, total BS. Dude is a warrior.
In 2 weeks we can settle it. https://t.co/StGvI7k1MP

A rematch between Rhodes and Cassidy was confirmed after their first match went to a time-limit draw. But after John Silver's comments about wanting to attack Rhodes and avenge Brodie Lee, Tony Khan made the match a Lumberjack Match in order to keep The Dark Order from interfering.
