#4 Best/Worst: The Tag Team Battle Royale on AEW Dynamite

Battle Royales often follow the same pattern, regardless of the talent involved. The talent doesn't get much better than the ones on Dynamite.

The likes of John Silver, Private Party, Young Bucks, Santana and Ortiz, reDRagon, and FTR were all part of the match. But it was still a messy affair that wasn't a delightful watch for large stretches of the match.

There was a fun dynamic when the contenders thinned out, but that came late into the match. All in all, considering the quality of matches that we've come to expect on AEW shows, a Battle Royale wasn't the most exciting start to the show.

However, the match's final moments were an enjoyable watch as half of the reDRagon, Young Bucks, FTR, and Dark Order were in the final four. As The Young Bucks came face-to-face in an epic staredown, Kyle O'Reilly eventually won.

The post-match saw a further build to Hangman Page vs. Adam Cole, giving the entire segment an emphatic end as the Millennial Cowboy cut a fierce promo.


#3 Best/Worst: Malakai Black should be a singles star in AEW

When Malakai Black debuted in AEW, he seemed destined to become a major singles star in the company. In his in-ring debut, he tormented the Nightmare Family and obliterated Cody Rhodes in a squash match. The former NXT champion again defeated the American Nightmare on AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam.

However, the former Aleister Black lost his third match and formed the House of Black. On Wednesday night, Buddy Matthews joined the stable in addition to Brody King, who joined a few weeks back.

As intriguing as the House of Black is, Malakai Black would probably be better off as a singles star and should have protected his mystique further.

The House of Black suffered their first loss as they lost via roll-up to the Death Triangle. Hopefully, Malakai Black can recover his intrigue and become a major singles star.
