MJF made quite the statement on AEW Dynamite this week

Congratulations to AEW Dynamite for bringing us two years of exciting, nail-biting, and thrilling action. The second Anniversary show lived up to the hype, and thankfully, the company sent the fans home happy with the way that the show ended.

There was a lot to like about AEW Dynamite this week. Yes, a few things about the show did not necessarily hit home, but there were a lot more positives than negatives. If you're going to decide whether or not to watch the show based on this review, go right ahead.

To mark the second anniversary of AEW Dynamite, we'd like to ask our readers if it's become the favorite part of your pro-wrestling week? How does it compare to other shows like RAW, SmackDown, and IMPACT Wrestling?


#3 Best/Worst: A huge announcement on AEW Dynamite from Tony Schiavone

The only negative from this segment is that AEW CEO Tony Khan was supposed to announce the TBS Championship. It turned out to be Tony Schiavone instead who did it.

That said, everything else about this segment was great. Dr. Britt Baker is doing great things as the AEW Women's Champion and it may be far too soon to take the title from around her waist. At the same time, Jade Cargill is ready too.

It would be very surprising if Cargill, who defeated Thunder Rosa and Nyla Rose recently, does not win the Championship. She's been presented in almost as dominant a manner as Damian Priest has been on RAW. It's her time to shine.

This AEW Dynamite announcement is a breath of fresh air. The women needed another title desperately and it could help push younger talent like Anna Jay and Tay Conti to the next level.

Do you agree?

#2 Best: A big AEW Dynamite match gets postponed

Two AEW Dynamite twists really hit home. Hikaru Shida, a decorated Champion was supposed to win her 50th match this week. Serena Deeb was a great roadblock, who prevented her from reaching this milestone.

Similarly, the fact that the big advertised clash on AEW Dynamite between MJF and Darby Allin had to be postponed was cool.

A vicious backstage attack was orchestrated by a gang of thugs. It was very obvious who was under the mask. Now the stakes for the upcoming match are that much higher. One has to wonder if it will happen at Full Gear 2021.


#2 Worst: MMA fighters in a pro wrestling environment

Not every crossover from MMA to the pro wrestling world works. They are two completely different environments! Performers like Riddle have taken an incredibly long time to perfect their craft.

Junior dos Santos has not. The punches he threw on AEW Dynamite, dare we say, ironically looked fake and phony.

Hopefully, this one issue will be ironed out before the upcoming match.

#1 Best: Everything with Hangman Adam Page

AEW Dynamite ended on the perfect note with the return of Adam Page to action. He is right back in the mix once again, the top contender to face Kenny Omega.

There's just something about Adam Page that makes you want to root for him. The AEW Dynamite crowd was thrilled to see him return and win big. Whether or not he dethrones Kenny Omega now remains to be seen.


#1 Worst: The AEW Dynamite opener had some major botches

Listen, Jungle Boy, The Young Bucks, and Kenny Omega are some of the best professional wrestlers on the face of the planet.

Mistakes happen and a few of them happened in the AEW Dynamite opening match. There was a botched Indytaker, a botched powerbomb, and a botched spot from Jack Perry!

The match was still fun to watch. But these botches pretty much took some of the oomph away from this contest.

But the world moves on, and AEW Dynamite will hopefully continue to bring us great wrestling for many years.
