Dynamite was a good show, AEW really feels like it has a direction again and feels more like "AEW" after months of distractions and injuries.

The 3 tournament matches ranged from solid to very good, I think that's what we'll be getting. Jay White touching the strong title was a nice touch as technically he was kicked out of NJPW strong. Swerve should win this tournament. Rumors are there are no plans for a Swerve vs. MJF match anytime soon, so Swerve being the Triple Crown champion makes sense. I'm also intrigued how they handle Andrade as he's worked his ass off since his return, but he most likely still has his foot out the door. He might end up doing the honours in every match he's in as will Lethal (clearly).

Timeless Toni Storm is the gimmick of the year...easily and her performance gets better and better. She's their best female talent...BY FAR, in the ring and on the mic, she should have the belt and nobody in sight should be taking it. I think that's Hayter's role when she returns. Probably at Wembley Stadium. Then Toni can feud with Mariah May.

They are clearly planning a big angle with MJF at Worlds end. He'll probably announce he's re-signed with AEW long-term and then the Devil will attack him and unmask. That laugh was clearly Jack Perry. I was hoping they would do Mount Rushmore in AEW, with Adam Cole, The Young Bucks and someone else, maybe that'll be Perry? Roddy got a huge reaction last night and honestly would make a good babyface feuding with Cole after this Devil business is done.

Christian theatre was so goofy. Adam Copeland is still getting really good reactions and the crowds clear wants Adam vs. Christian. They missed out on an opportunity calling Nick Wayne, Nicholas Cage.

Young Bucks off the show...again. Rumors are they are going full fledge heel, dickheads again. They keep failing as babyfaces and going back heel. Unlike Kenny and Hangman, I think at the end of their deals An-Tony Khan will have buyers remorse.

Enjoyed Dynamite this week. Show was fine. A bit of everything and then some. Took them forever to fully explain the tournament thing and I swear they didn't show the blue league table until the last minute.

Woo Energy ads in the arena can fuck off.

Swerve vs Lethal was fine. Crowd were firmly on Swerve's side. Good things happen when people are booked to win big matches!

The backstage bit with Shibata, Hook and OC perfectly illustrated the too many belts problem. And there is apparently a new belt for the tournament winner. C'mon.

MJF segment was fine. Really picked up when Joe came out. That dude just exudes legitimacy. Have the Internet sleuths unscrambled the devil's laugh yet?

Danhausen somehow getting an Austin/Alliance pop. That was odd. 6 man was fun. Pretty cool finish as well.

Christian segment was bizarre. Weird dynamics. Also, fuck this crowd WHATing Christian. The fuck was that? Also, c'mon Nick Cage was right there. Go with the obvious in this case.

Looks like Ruby is setting herself up for post-Outcasts storylines. Good. Saraya is pretty much dead in the water.

Rush vs Jay was good. Was hoping the former would win, but not to be. Surprised we didn't get any upsets in the three CC matches.

Big Bill and his glasses. Yes!

Toni Storm segment was fine. Fun stuff.

Women's 3 way was good. Happy to live in the era of ass.

AR Fox, what a geek.

Main event was fine. Was again hoping for the upset, but it was not to be.
 
I agree with everyone, a fun night of matches overall. I hope they continue to strap the rocket to Swerve and not let him cool off. Wrap up this devil angle so Swerve can hit the main event.

Hopefully they push forward through this story with Christian as he's cooled a bit after he had upper tier crowd heat. As expected AC pulled him down a bit but im sure both are having a good time so can't really be mad at that.

MJF at this point is hitting Super Cena levels, im assuming he retains vs Joe unless Joe is in on the Devil angle. I wouldve rather had Jay White win at Full Gear and MJF v Joe v White at the next. MJF hitting exaggerated face levels has me feeling like there will be a swerve and the reveal will be someone else and then he's the final reveal.
 
Show was great all around. MJF was legit the weakest thing about the episode. I was tired of his lame ass disses 2 years ago. Joe cooked him and saved that segment.
 
The first 3 CC matches were solid..I hope AEW has some upsets. Can't have guys lose every match or win everyone. I would've had Briscoe beat Mox last night. I'd also have Garcia beat Claudio because he hasn't had a big win in some time. Andrade should also beat Danielson.
I feel like lethal might go 0-3…..

Joes going to kill him. (Should)
 


Breaking: All In 2025 to be held at Craven Cottage.
 
Finally catching up with Dynamite.

Solid opener with Swerve and Jay. Not the best match in the world but it feels like Swerve can do no wrong at the moment

Good segment with Joe and MJF. I seen a lot of talk that MJF was terrible and Joe destroyed him, but I really did not see anything close to that. Felt like a good back and forth segment setting up the title match next month, and furthering the MJF story. The devil sounded like Jack Perry but that could be a red herring. AEW have done that in the past like they did with the Dark Order leader.

Yay! Danhausen is back! Got a good pop too. Seems like a lot of the wrestlers that people on the internet like to complain about always get massive pops and sell a lot of merch. Hager played his spot perfectly that match too as well lmao

Poor Roddy :(

I've given Adam Copeland the benefit of the doubt so far in AEW but this has gone too far. How dare he do that to The Prodigy right in front of his own father and mother. Absolutely disgusting behaviour. Also fuck Chicago for "what"ing Christian.

Someone tell Daddy Magic what's going on!

Juice Robinson missing from the Bullet Club entrance :(

Rush v Jay White just feels right to see. Ungovernable leader v Bullet Club leader will always be something to watch. Dem chops too. Excalibur mentioned time limit in the middle of the match so I wonder how much that'll come into play this tournament.

Toni Storm continues to be one of the best things in AEW <45>

Women's match was okay at best, but for a match involving Ruby Soho and Anna Jay that's a miracle.

What the fuck was that AR Fox? <Lmaoo>

Another good match to end the night. I don't think it'll happen but I'd love for Mark Briscoe to win the whole thing. Him as RoH and NJPW Strong champion would be brilliant, and it would be such a great moment. It's also someone who has been involved in both companies in the past.

No amazing match just yet in the tournament but hopefully things just keep improving. Not a bad start regardless
 
Nick Wayne is selling Adam Copeland's vicious attack today at Wrestlecade

Rocking the neck brace and apparently asking for help to stand up and sit down.

The kid already improving under the leadership of his great father Christian.
