11-Year-Old Pins Cody Rhodes After 10/16 AEW Dynamite Goes Off The Air

When the TNT cameras finished rolling for the latest episode AEW Dynamite, a special moment for one young fan was made. 

Nate Richardson, an 11-year-old boy who became a hit among AEW fans weeks ago for dressing up as Orange Cassidy, traveled to Philadelphia to sit in the front row of the October 16 episode of Dynamite. Dubbed, “Clementine Cassidy,” Richardson made his way to the ring after Dynamite ended and joined The Young Bucks, Cody and Brandi Rhodes and MJF as it was also his birthday.

Cody would then lie down in the center of the ring, inviting Richardson to come and pin him. Before Richardson did so, MJF would plead at him to not go through with pinning his best friend before being pulled away from one half of The Young Bucks. After Cody got pinned, he handed his belt for the youngster to hoist up in the air. 

Update: AEW has released official footage of the “match” which you can see embedded at the top of the article
