Nightmare Family was a professional wrestling stable signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW). The group's name derives from "The American Nightmare", the nickname of the faction's leader Cody Rhodes. He described the group as "an ensemble of focused individuals, some who train at the Nightmare Factory (AEW's training facility) together, who just have a singular focus over the sport".[1] In addition to Rhodes, his brother Dustin Rhodes is a member of the stable; both are the sons of the late Dusty Rhodes.

History

All Elite Wrestling

On January 1, 2019, Cody and Brandi Rhodes joined All Elite Wrestling, a new professional wrestling promotion founded by Shahid Khan and Tony Khan. Cody and Brandi signed contracts as on-screen talent and also as Executive Vice President and Chief Brand Officer respectively.[3] On April 20, Cody's opponent for AEW's inaugural event Double or Nothing was revealed as his brother Dustin Rhodes.[4] Cody defeated Dustin at Double or Nothing, and the match received a 5 star rating from Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter.[5] After the match, Cody made a plea to Dustin to reunite as a tag team to face The Young Bucks at Fight for the Fallen. Dustin accepted, reuniting The Rhodes Brothers for the first time in over four years.[6]

On December 30, 2019, Arn Anderson signed a contract with AEW as Cody's personal advisor and head coach.[7] On January 15, 2020 at Bash at the Beach, Diamond Dallas Page teamed with Q. T. Marshall and Dustin Rhodes for his first match since 2016.[8]

On October 30, 2020, Gunn Club (Austin, and Billy) and Lee Johnson joined the group.[9] On February 8, 2021, Aaron Solow and Nick Comoroto joined the group.[10]

On the March 31, 2021 edition of AEW Dynamite, Cody Rhodes and Q. T. Marshall fought in an unsanctioned Exhibition match with Arn Anderson serving as the referee. After about 7 minutes of in-ring action, a frustrated QT attacked Anderson and left the ring, allowing Aaron Solow and Nick Comoroto, as well as Nightmare Factory trainee Anthony Ogogo, to attack Cody from behind. QT continued to lead the group in a brutal beatdown of Cody and the rest of the Nightmare Family, ending his (as well as Solow and Comoroto's) relationship with the group.[11]

After months of inactivity, Cody Rhodes departed from AEW on February 15, 2022 leaving the stable's future unclear.
