In what was a very personal match at AEW All Out, Cody Rhodes defeated Shawn Spears. This is a match that saw Tully Blanchard tape his fists and brawl with MJF, who was Cody’s selected cornerman.
However, a huge surprise that actually tipped the scales and Cody's favor was the appearance of the enforcer, Arn Anderson. Ric Flair‘s former backup delivered a classic spinebuster to The Perfect 10, and opened the door for Cody to win the match by distracting Tully Blanchard with his presence.

For now, MJF's loyalty proved to be genuine and there was no heel turn from the man who has been dubbed Salt of the Earth.

Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard we're a preferred tag team out of the Four Horsemen tandems throughout the years. They also had a year-long in the WWF as the Brain Busters in 1988.
The appearance even caught the attention of WWE commentator, Renee Young
