A pro wrestling legend made a special appearance on the AEW Rampage: Holiday Bash show on Saturday evening.
During the special Holiday Bash-themed edition of Rampage on TNT on Christmas evening, legendary pro wrestling figure David Crockett made a brief on-camera appearance as a special guest sitting at ringside for the TNT Championship main event pitting Sammy Guevara against Cody Rhodes.
He was acknowledged on the broadcast by the commentary team, as well as by ring announcer “The Dapper Yapper” Justin Roberts. After the match concluded, Crockett returned to the ring to present the winner, Cody Rhodes, with his TNT Championship title belt. The two shook hands and hugged as Cody celebrated becoming the first-ever three-time TNT Champion, as well as the final TNT Champion for the last AEW on TNT shows next Wednesday and Friday with the New Year’s Smash specials.
