That was a hot ending. It's been a while since they've done one of those. I like all the different heel alliances coming together.

The show didn't start out great with the first match, the Matt Hardy segment took a lot of steam out of the show, and that sloppy women's tag match didn't help, but the main event and aftermath was really good.
It was a decent episode that needed better pacing.

Given they had to scramble to put this together it was pretty good. It was weird in places for sure, but that last match and finish was hot.
Are you kidding me they ended on Ricky Starks' theme, a prominent former member of WWE
You got the best spine buster and spear in the business right now going on in that ring.
Bless Hobbs and Starks 🙏🏼

The future of this company is just too amazing, and all of them are on their way towards being stars.
Go back to last week. Or even much of this Dynamite. People mark out on the regular and generally love the show and root for the promotion to succeed.
This Dynamite didn't hit the highs of last week and was oddly paced. Think it's okay to call that out. The most negativity was for the women's tag and the Hardy/PP/Jericho segment, both of which were less than stellar, no? :)

Good show overall. Only downsides were the beginning match after Miro hurt himself and Ivelisse's performance. Hopefully Miro is ok. OC vs Lee was great. They fit so much in 2 hours it's crazy.
I left for dinner during Adam Page's match and came back to Ivelisse and Diamante being lost in the ring repeatedly and forgetting which member of their team was the legal person. Then I miss most of the main event because I get stuck in the bathroom. On this night I missed all of the goodness :(
Ivelisse/Diamante are slowly not syncing together since the tournament. Sucks cause I'm a fan of both.
Enjoyable episode overall. Favourite parts...
-Kingston promo
-Hangman vs. Uno
-Second half of Brodie vs. Cassidy
-Brodie promo
-Jericho and MJF
-Moxley vs. Kingston and the ending
Thought the FTR segment was "fine," but they quickly threw SCU under the bus with the Best Friends showing up like that. Dark Cody showing up also didn't get a pop from me because he's been acting like a heel for months.
Meh-to-bad stuff for me was the opener (Miro looked like a beast at least,) women's tag, and the Jericho/Hardy/PP segments.

-First match had no chemistry but awesome seeing Miro in action.
-Hangman/Uno was solid, great work on commentary again by Omega to further the saga.
-Brodie/OC was a lot of fun. Brodie/Cody dog collar match should be great.
-The segment was a bit rough but cool opportunity for Kassidy against Jericho. I like that they've given both of the PP guys a spotlight in singles now.
-Women's match had a rough start too but I thought they pulled it together by the end. Rosa is really on a different level than pretty much every woman they have.
-That last match was great and loved the ending. I always love seeing different storylines intersecting like that. Kind of crazy to think about what a strange collection of talent they had in there by the end, it's really been cool to see how the roster has come together.
So it looks like we're essentially going to get another two week special event between the Jericho show and the Anniversary show. Curious to see what happens with Jericho, has to be something big. Would they pull the trigger on something with MJF already?
The Anniversary card could be pretty stacked. If they save all the title matches for that, we could be getting Moxley/Archer, Brodie/Cody, FTR/BFs, and possibly Shida/Rosa??

That was one of those things to me that it wasn't clear if it was a work or not. I agree, he seemed fine at the end of the match.
Yeah, it's been really weird to watch. Not sure if it's the pressure or what that's causing it, but I feel they've actively gotten less smooth and less cohesive since they won the tournament. Hope they figure it out, or Tony makes a call to hide them elsewhere until they work through whatever they need to work through.
Did he do another one after the staredown? I know I saw Kingston talking some trash early on and having to be separated from Mox by the officials. Definitely going to try and find Brody's stuff because I love me some Brodie Lee.
Either he's ok or he powered through the match injured. He still didn't seem the same after it. His leg was quivering alot during his finish. He seemed ok speaking after the match, but walking to the back he looked kind of angry.
I am guessing the 6-man tag being nixed threw off a lot of the timing.
We got a pretty good singles match though.

Totally seemed like a partially rolled ankle. If so he will be fine, but it hurts like hell in the moment. Did it to myself a couple of months or so ago running. Had to stop for a moment from the pain. Could walk on it after a couple of minutes and was running on it again before the end of the day.
Looks like a close call. I've properly rolled my ankle before and that's a whole different deal, but I don't think he'd have been able to power through if he'd done that.
Yes. He just let it rip on Cody and set up a special stipulation match for some point in the future.
Hope that's true and he's fine. I haven't even gotten to see Miro vs Omega yet!
Yeah there were some shaky segments tonight, like a lot of the live ones recently, but a good time overall. Prob felt a little more off in the shadow of a really great Dark and bonus show this week. Getting spoiled.
Brodie Lee vs. OC overdelivered without much buildup, and Cody's return was a cool moment. Hangman and Uno was solid, the women's tag match improved by the end, and Kingston delivered on short notice, he's a unique and reliable talent.
FTR segments are bathroom breaks for me, just not into it. Best Friends getting the rub off the parking lot brawl while Santana and Ortiz return to the lackey role, man what do those guys have to do to cut them loose. JR continues to bum me out. One of the reasons Dark has become must watch for me is the commentary chemistry, and hard to get there when he's burying Excalibur.

I'm happy he's back, but is his look from a previous period in his career? I assume it's from NJPW, but I never watched his NJPW stuff.
Who's going to be up for the G1 tonight? No one ? Alright aright alright. I'll spoiler tag this time haha
So good, the dog chain match is giving me flashbacks to 1995 WCW. Are they gonna fight on top of a semi driving down the freeway?
Nah Cody has never had black hair before only blonde and brown
i thought it was great. brodie vs. cody rematch definitely has the most hype for the current quarter, to me. cody just knows how to build energy, something all of the other growing rivalries are really lacking right now, imo.
Ah, wonder what the look and red logo is supposed to signify. Probably something comic or game related since Cody's a giant nerd lol
I'd be more terrified of a overbooked, world beater heel Cody run if the Bucks And Kenny weren't also about to heel it up , at least it will all feel far more balanced
I liked Cody's sparkly shoes LOL.
One pet peeve I have about that is how Brodie already had the dog collar handy. That always comes across a little hokey to me when they want to set up a gimmick match and conveniently just come up with the idea out of thin air. I like a little more set up to create some context for why he pulls that out and immediately wants to go to a dog collar match. But like I said, that's probably going to be a great match.

Hopefully to signify the future return of evil huge asshole Cody
Obviously he keeps the dog collar handy for Silver at all times.
Sooo I have been staying away from wrestling for years after WWE really soured me on it all, but recently started reading AEW stuff. Seems interesting, I will start recording it on my PVR.
I recently heard a lot about Ben Carter and watched his Dark match on YouTube, was really good stuff. I'm excited to see more of him.

That would be great. Now I think him want to be with a heel Bucks and Kenny instead of whatever this 4 Horsemen group is.Hopefully to signify the future return of evil huge asshole Cody
He's tweeting, so hopefully fine.
LOL, I guess on second thought it's probably not that out of left field that the Dark Order would have a dog collar and chains.
