That Dynamite was the best in ages, it really flew by. Fun and entertaining matches, decent promos, angles being set up and a hot crowd who played their part really well.
I'd recommend this week's episode to any lapsed fans

This WM needs to end happy. Time for all Bloodline members to lose the gold.

Seems pretty obvious that Sami/Kev will win the tag titles. I am not sure what they will do with Reigns and I guess a lot will depend on his appearances going forward. I am fully expecting The Rock to be involved in some capacity if not WrestleMania then the Raw afterwards.

Yeah as I've said before that was clearly the long term plan for KO and Sami and WM. They both want a tag title run so be good to see them get it.
Getting annoyed with LA Knight taking loses every week.

LA Knight is like Corbin V2. Guessing wrestler releases are round corner and Wyatt surely must be on the cards. Also, what's happened with the good brothers?:

Brays out injured but they did sneak a Bray logo on a TV screen during last night's SD and haven't officially scrappedhim vs Lashley.
Good Brothers have mainly been used for house shows and AJs injury messed up the planned feud between them and Judgement Day.
But not sure why HHH can't find something else for them to do and use them on TV.
They apparently have big plans for Knight after Mania but start building now. He shouldn't be losing to Woods.

Omega v Vikingo on the next Dynamite. Should be a MOTY contender.

Another great Dynamite following last week, hoping they keep up this rhythm going forward.
Continuity storylines to bookend the show, Garcia trying to show some character, Omega being let loose as a singles competitor again, BCC becoming more like heels every week etc. Solid stuff.

Cant believe that was Kenny's first singles match on Dynamite since November 2021. Terrible Way for TK to book arguably the best singles wrestler in the world, although granted he had an injury then the whole CM Punk clusterfuck.

I mean, he had 8 months off and probably couldn't manage many singles matches with all his injuries and recovering from said injuries.
The Elite with Adam Cole stuff had me sports entertained before he took time off, so I can't complain.

"made him".
Punk is such a twat.
Decides to bury Mox and Jericho as well. One of the things where at some point surely you have to concede there's a high chance that it's actually you who is the problem.

To appropriate the Importance of Being Earnest, “ to wrestle hurt once is unfortunate, to wrestle hurt twice can be seen as carelessness.”
He’s not done himself any favours. And this is a guy whose prime was arguably ~12 years ago.

One of the things where at some point surely you have to concede there's a high chance that it's actually you who is the problem. As far as I'm aware this is the first time Mox has been dragged into anything from the brawl but reports are Jericho was being a shit stirrer and from previous interviews they clearly aren't friends. If this is a work then it's beyond dumb. But realistically that's got to be Punk done now surely? |

If it's a work then I think it's a pretty good one - reddit and forums are aflame any time the Punk/Elite/now Jericho/Moxley drama is mentioned and AEW's fans will buy into this stuff - they don't seem to have any casual fans like WWE does (and that's a detriment to AEW, not a plus).
Sadly I think it's just Punk being his usual difficult self. Shame as there's a ton of money to be made here if he could sort his shit out.

As mentioned before Punk is toxic and you can see why Vince ended up wanting nothing to do with him.
But I still find it funny all the blame is being put on Punk. Fans turning on him for what they apparently love in regards to him and WWE.
He didn't barge into anyone's locker room or just sit like a mug and do nothing while Punk was going on that media scrum rant.
Didn't go to members of the press to get them to leak stuff(alleged).
This is also why you don't give everyone creative control. (See Miro as well who's rejecting everything suggested and getting paid).
It really gave AEW a giant black eye which it doesn't really seem to have recovered from yet.
Barely getting over 1M viewers since Punk has been off TV and now struggling to sell out 3-4K shows for Dynamite.

Kind of what happens when you crown a new champion and within 20 minutes of getting the belt they use your media scrum as an opportunity to rag on and bury the very company that brought him back, paid him top dollar and made him champ. Whatta Mark.
Really can't see how anyone could side with him in all this. Fair enough that he had all those issues but using a media scrum to air it out was incredibly unprofessional.

And I know the viewing figures are down for Dynamite (and it's been a shadow of its former self this last year) but the last 3 shows have drawn crowds of 5k, 8k and 4k with over 900,000 viewers. For a non WWE promotion to be doing that was unthinkable 4 years ago and it's worth bearing that in mind. Hate the Twitter narrative of "lol AEW only did 900k" like that's poor viewership for a wrestling show. Still find it remarkable and a bit embarrassing that there's a subset of wrestling fans that have been willing it to fail for the last 3 years. |

I've not sided with him. Just still say it was a shit show from all those involved.
The ones leaking personal shit from 7 years ago, Tony for not having the balls to step in and stop Punks scrum and everyone involved in the brawl.
Everyone knew what Punk was like before he signed. It was always going to end on a sour note just no one expected this cluster fuck.
Don't think Tony could even ship him off to ROH now.
Also Naomi has quietly confirmed she's gone from WWE now.

I expect the match to be about 5 minutes but the thought of Brock giving him suplexes and an F5 and Omos lifting Brock up over his head by the neck and slamming him down is going be quite the spectacle.
Pretty shitty for Lashley still having to wait to see if Bray is cleared.

Bobby/Knight And Kross only being in the Andre Battle Royal on next week's Smackdown is incredibly lame.
You could easily just make a match just for those 3.
