AEW delivered another solid show following Full Gear, and the fans couldn't be any more delighted than last night.

The arena was electric from start-to-finish, and the episode was quite important in terms of plot points as well.

Even the smallest bits from last night's show had some interesting developments, and we also got to witness a new direction for trending storylines after AEW Full Gear.

Chris Jericho and MJF squared off in one of the most entertaining bits of the night. What more could you ask for as a Pro-Wrestling fan in 2019?

Here are a few interesting observations from this week's AEW Dynamite (November 13, 2019):


#3: Why pitting Jon Moxley against Darby Allin is the perfect way to top Moxley's momentum from Full Gear

It's been a couple of days after fans witnessed the craziest mainstream match of the year - Jon Moxley came on top in that contest against Kenny Omega, and his momentum has skyrocketed a lot since then.

This was evident from Moxley's appearance on last night's episode, where the fans went crazy at every little thing he did.

So the question arises, how higher can you go from here?

Jon Moxley will certainly create more hardcore memories for us in the future, but can he maintain this level of momentum throughout the rest of the year?

Pitting him against Darby Allin was probably a great decision because both men tend to get a knock out of extreme matches, and a considerably younger Allin will be a perfect match for Moxley in this case.

While the latter seems to be on a hot streak currently, Allin seems to have gathered a decent mainstream following as well. So even if Darby Allin comes up short in another high-stakes match as of this moment, it would still count as good exposure for him in the end.

Do you think Jon Moxley's current momentum can be topped next week?

#2: The Young Bucks' brawl with Santana & Ortiz cleverly incorporated other stars as well

After AEW Full Gear, it seems like The Young Bucks and Santana & Ortiz are embroiled in a highly personal feud.

A brawl between the two teams erupted almost instantaneously last night, which was filled with several head-turning moments in its entirety.

What I loved about this segment was that other wrestlers were also incorporated into this whole thing in a good way.

You could see Jon Moxley in a blink and a miss moment where he just kept staring at the whole ordeal without a care in the world! Of course, the big pop came along when Santana threw Nick Jackson onto a door, only to reveal Orange Cassidy leaning against the wall on the other side.

The whole brawl also resulted in a plot thread next week, where Private Party will face Santana & Ortiz because of the former team's intervention at the end of this mess.

The Young Bucks don't need to be at the top of AEW's Tag Team Division at the moment.

They already have enough accolades as it is, and even though a time will come when The Bucks will find their way back to the top, it just feels that other teams deserve a chance to shine at this point.

But make no mistake, the bad blood between both of these teams is far from over.

#1: Chris Jericho's meltdown was a perfect way to end the episode

Le Champion came across a roadblock on last night's episode.

What seemed like an opportunity for Chris Jericho to become a double champion ended with him throwing a fit over facing his first AEW in-ring loss.

We have had so many explosive endings to AEW Dynamite so far, that a veteran champion almost coming to tears by taking a hit in match statistics is just another creative and highly entertaining visual to leave your fans with.

What's even better is how Jericho is so great at shifting his character image from a defiant, class leader to a vain veteran with an inflated sense of achievement at the end of the night.

After all, Jericho's promo with MJF was an entertaining lead-in to the main event match, where Le Champion's overconfidence got the best of him, and suddenly, posing with Sammy Guevara didn't matter anymore.

I guess we will find out how the AEW World Champion plans to deal with this embarrassment next week. But if there is an important takeaway here, it is that Scorpio Sky managed to pin Le Champion in the ring, which has to be a huge achievement at this stage.

Does this show us that the company's intentions lie in pushing Scorpio Sky to the top of the roster? What do you think?
