- Acclaimed actually had a nice rap for once, I like this SCU stipulation, Kaz deserves a singles run, and with the Bucks solidified heel turn, this is a good way to end the SCU team. I wouldn’t mind SCU building up wins and having them lose at the PPV for the title and thus ending their team.
- Wardlow vs. Hager was awesome, both have legit mma backgrounds and love how they used it. Loved this match, honestly was made for me, lol.
- PvP segment with Snoop and Matt, a little shot towards WWE. I dig it. They had snoop play a small role , got the gin and juice reference out the way and advanced a storyline. well done, warming up to Matt as a heel now.
- Sting shows up again to point at Tazz, this weigh in stuff was non sense given their sizes. This was the only down moment of the show. Sting needs to be used better and more sparingly.
- Marko Stunt just absolutely sucks.
- Cody vs. Sydal was an awesome match too. They didn’t over do it with Snoop post match too, and thought his splash on a jobber was just fine. Doesn’t hurt anyone on the card unlike when wwe had him beat Curtis Axel silly.
- aew women’s match!!! Well done, and amazing job by the commentary making the Abadon gimmick believable and not insulting the audience. I’ve loved this feud, I love abandon’s gimmick, and Shida is amazing. She makes everyone look so good despite lack of in ring skill.
- Fenix / Omega was even better than I was expecting, what an amazing match, one of the best in dynamite history. And that ending was just so amazing, I felt like aew has missing these moments where they close out on a huge ending, but they really delivered here
Loved it!
Definitely agree on the Sting part. If he’s going to be used the same exact way week to week, then he simply doesn’t need to be on every episode. It’s more of a disservice at this point because he isn’t doing anything.
And AEW hasn’t had enough of these post match antics, in general. Sometimes it’s not a strong enough note to end the show on — to just have the match end with no fall out afterward. So much happened after that fantastic match that leaves you wanting more for next week( Mox v Omega, the Bullet Club reforming, how does the Bucks fit in exactly ?).
