The wrestling landscape has changed over the last few months, and Triple H acknowledged AEW when he called the promotion a “pissant company” during DX’s WWE Hall of Fame speech.
Cody Rhodes later responded by saying that he’s out to kill The Attitude Era, and Rhodes took a not so subtle shot at the King of Kings during AEW’s big Double or Nothing pay-per-view.
Cody faced off against his brother Dustin at Double or Nothing, but before the match got started Brandi handed Cody a sledgehammer, and he walked up to the top of the entrance ramp. Rhodes them smashed the sledgehammer into a throne that looked very similar to something Triple H would use.
As he hit the throne with the hammer, it fell apart as a puff of smoke appeared and Brandi yelled on with enthusiasm.
A clip of the throne segment can be seen below.
