#4. AEW made the right call of booking Sting against FTR at Dynamite: Grand Slam

FTR is one of the best tag teams in the world and, at AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam, the former Revival proved that again. The former AEW Tag Team Champions faced off against Darby Allin and Sting. The two teams had an excellent match.

It was a pleasant surprise to witness Vigilante running around and delivering a top rope crossbody. The Stinger took a few bumps and FTR sold his moves brilliantly.

The WCW stalwart is 62 years old but the former WWE Tag Team Champions made him look like he was in his 30s.

AEW showcased Sting in full flow once again by booking him against one of the best and safest workers of this era. It was a great booking decision.


#3. AEW made the right call by having Malakai Black win against Cody Rhodes

There was some apprehension among AEW fans that Malakai Black would suffer his first loss at Grand Slam at the hands of the American Nightmare. Cody Rhodes is one of the top babyfaces in the company and his victory had its merits, but the former Aleister Black winning was the correct decision from AEW.

Despite an unclean finish, Black remains unbeaten and holds two victories over the former TNT champion. Black also added another dimension to his heel character with the way he won. He has always won with the Black Mass but resorted to a roll-up this time.
