Cody Rhodes to Face Top TNA Star in August

June 4, 2016

Cody Rhodes has announced he will be facing TNA star Mike Bennett at the August 26th Northeast Wrestling “Wrestling Under the Stars” event in Pittsfield, MA.

Rhodes’ wife Brani Rhodes will be in Cody’s corner, and it appears this will be her first post-WWE appearance. Bennett will have his wife Maria Kanellis in his corner for the bout.

As we previously reported, Rhodes will be facing Kurt Angle for Northeast Wrestling one night after the Bennett match on August 27th.

Now I don’t feel so outnumbered…
