AEW Dynamite - Best and Worst - Six-time world champion ends ex-WWE star's winning streak, big mistake with Adam Cole, female star pushing Cody Rhodes for heel turn?

#4 Worst: Ruby Soho picking up a roll-up victory over Kris Statlander on AEW Dynamite

AEW star Ruby Soho advanced into the semi-finals of the TBS Title Tournament tonight after defeating Kris Statlander with a roll-up victory. Though the entire bout was stirring, the finish may have left a sour taste in everybody's mouths.

It felt like more of a WWE ending, protecting another star even in a loss. However, the planned outcome didn't do any favors, especially to The Galaxy's Greatest Alien. AEW seems to have dropped the ball tonight with the 26-year-old star with the potential to be the women's champion one day.

Tony Khan appears to be relying too much on ex-WWE stars while derailing the momentum of a homegrown wrestler like Kris Statlander every then and now.

#3 Best: Brandi Rhodes planting the seeds for Cody Rhodes' potential heel turn on AEW Dynamite?

One of the most notable takeaways from the show went down during the closing moments of the Atlanta street fight between Andrade and Cody Rhodes in the main event.

The bout was itself a brutal slugfest, but the surprise appearance of Brandi Rhodes in changing the outcome of the match grabbed significant eyeballs. She set the table on fire, allowing Cody to deliver Andrade with a reverse suplex from the top rope.

While AEW fans have failed to turn The American Nightmare into a heel, it looks like his wife will do the favor. It's no secret that Rhodes has been receiving an outpouring of boos on every AEW show. Even his hometown crowd in Atlanta was no exception tonight.

A heel turn will do wonders for Cody Rhodes, given his polarized status today. He has often refused to turn heel, but the company's decision to bring in Brandi to possibly turn her husband might be the best booking angle on AEW programming. It will be interesting to see what explanation Brandi Rhodes gives for her actions.
