Cody vs. Darby Allin scheduled for New Year’s Day AEW Dynamite

A rematch between Cody Rhodes and Darby Allin is scheduled for the January 1st edition of AEW Dynamite.

Allin tweeted about the match Wednesday night while Rhodes tweeted Thursday morning he is looking forward to it. AEW is calling the New Year’s Day broadcast a homecoming edition of the show from Jacksonville, FL. 

The two teamed up on this week’s Dynamite against The Butcher and The Blade with the stipulation that if Allin and Rhodes won, Allin would get a rematch. They got the victory when Rhodes hit the Cody Cutter on The Blade for the win. On the broadcast, they didn’t mention when Allin would get his opportunity.

They first wrestled at Fyter Fest this past June and went to a 20-minute draw. Allin came out as an ally of Cody’s two weeks ago after he and QT Marshall lost to The Butcher and The Blade, setting up Wednesday’s tag match. 

The New Year’s Day Dynamite also will feature women’s champion Riho vs. Kris Statlander, Jon Moxley’s decision on whether to join Chris Jericho’s Inner Circle faction, and MJF laying out stipulations for an eventual match with Cody.
