AEW Dynamite Flops and Hits: Hangman Page returns to craft a fairy tale, Adam Cole picks a big win for The Elite (6th October, 2021)

#4 Hit on AEW Dynamite: Adam Cole picks a big win for The Elite

This week's episode of AEW Dynamite kickstarted with a brilliant match between The Elite (Kenny Omega, Adam Cole, and The Young Bucks) and the team of Bryan Danielson, Christian Cage, and Jurassic Express.

It was a well-balanced encounter between the eight top superstars, all of whom looked equally strong inside the squared circle. The subtleties of the match, such as Jungle Boy's incredible resilience, the stand-off between Omega and Danielson and, the 'botch' while lifting Luchasaurus, accounted for engaging in-ring narration.

The crowd also played a crucial role in keeping the match entertaining throughout its duration. The bout eventually ended with Cole pinning Boy to win the match for his team. While you would expect good performances from the aforementioned superstars, they went above and beyond to draw attention to the two groups' animosity.

#3 Flop on AEW Dynamite: Darby Allin's victory over Nick Comoroto

Although this wasn't a bad match, one can't help but feel that Darby Allin deserves more time on the television. He faced Nick Comoroto in a brief encounter, and most of the events transpired during the commercial break. Their match eventually ended with Allin using the Coffin Drop to secure this pinfall.

A match that was booked according to the "David vs. Goliath" concept was disappointingly one-sided on Dynamite. It is safe to say that Allin should be pushed into longer matches where he faces legitimate threats from competitors twice his size.

One good part about this segment was Sting hitting QT Marshall with a low blow before delivering a Scorpion Death Drop. The referee's attempt to warn Marshall was the icing on the cake.

A short backstage segment on Dynamite saw masked men laying down a brutal attack on Darby Allin. It appeared as though MJF wanted to make a strong statement ahead of their match next week.
