The Backlash and Rhodes’ Retort
The match, despite its unique theme and presentation, was not well-received by a section of the audience. Many were quick to criticise, deeming it the “worst match ever.”
However, Dustin Rhodes was not one to remain silent. Taking to Twitter, he expressed his views candidly, emphasising that he found the match highly entertaining. He even humorously mentioned a past match of his, hinting that if there was a contender for the “worst match” title, it might be one of his own from the past.
Rhodes’ tweet read: “I thought the Texas Chainsaw match was entertaining as heck. People saying it was the worst match ever are mistaken. Remember my match in the back of a moving 18-wheeler with a cage? That was something! We did great, and it was entertaining. Lighten up, folks. #AEWDynamite.”
