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?

#2 Worst: Adam Cole continues to feud with Orange Cassidy on AEW Dynamite

AEW star Adam Cole's current booking has become a widely-discussed topic. Since his debut, the former NXT Champion has been entangled in lackluster feuds, which hasn't helped him gain anything other than an undefeated streak with little value.

His ongoing feud with Orange Cassidy is another example, hinting at the ex-WWE star's underwhelming push. Cole dismantled the Freshly Squeezed One tonight with some help from Young Bucks. Despite Cassidy's popularity, is he credible enough to put Adam Cole over with fans?

Regardless, Cole himself can generate the loudest reaction on the show, and it wouldn't be as far-fetched to say that he's more popular among the AEW universe than CM Punk and Bryan Danielson. The company seems to be wasting his talent by putting him with mid-card wrestlers. Even a feud with Sammy Guevara for the TNT title would give Cole some momentum.

#1 Best/Worst - Wardlow squashing AC Adams on AEW Dynamite

It feels pointless to see Wardlow crushing new AEW talent when the promotion isn't pitting him against MJF. Not too long ago, the company teased a rivalry between Friedman and Wardlow, which has been brewing for more than a year now.

Understandably, MJF's feud with CM Punk may have prompted the company to hold Wardlow back. However, AEW should have teased the rift between MJF and Wardlow tonight when the latter confronted CM Punk.

Instead, he protected The Salt of the Earth from taking any assault. It would have been a feel-good moment for fans if Wardlow had paved the way for The Straight Edge Superstar to attack MJF.
