AEW Dynamite delivered yet again and put on a good show for the fourth week in a row. This wasn't the best show, but it was home to some good matches and moments. It's quite surprising that they have defeated NXT in the ratings every week, but at this rate, it's going to become the trend.
On this week's show, the semi-final matches of the AEW Tag Team Championship tournament took place. The Lucha Bros took on the exciting Private Party, and SCU faced The Dark Order to book a place in the finals. Meanwhile, Dr. Britt Baker looked to get back on track in her hometown, after failing to win the AEW Women's Championship to Riho.
The Inner Circle has been causing a lot of chaos over the last few weeks and put away everyone in their path. Did they get their comeuppance this week?
In the main event, PAC looked for redemption as he faced Jon Moxley, who betrayed him last week. With that said, let's look at three things AEW Dynamite got right this week.
#3 The Inner Circle get attacked
The Inner Circle, except for Jake Hager were among the audience to watch SCU vs. Dark Order. After the match, Cody came out to a pop to cut a promo in the ring but was constantly interrupted by Jericho and his troops. Cody realized that he would be at a disadvantage if he tries to chase Jericho.
Following that, Dustin Rhodes, MJF, and shockingly DDP came out to aid Cody. DDP was a great friend of Dusty Rhodes, and so this made sense; this was also a nice surprise to the crowd. Together, they chased and attacked the cowardly Inner Circle.
They got the upper hand before officials had to separate them. Maybe things would be different if Jake Hager was available, but this was a good way for Cody to even up the odds. The Inner Circle got some comeuppance, albeit minor, which makes things interesting going forward.
#2 Superkick Party
The Young Bucks were coming off the back of a loss to the Private Party in the tag team tournament. Being possibly the best tag team in the world, they did a great job of putting the young teams over. It disproved claims from some people that The Young Bucks will make use of their executive position to push themselves.
With that said, they needed to get back on track with a victory. They faced the Best Friends this week in a tag team match. The Bucks proved their worth with another impressive match; it's safe to say it's become a norm for them to have a great match, regardless of their opponents.
The Bucks picked up the win after taking out Orange Cassidy, who was in the Best Friends' corner. Interestingly, they mocked the Best Friends by hugging each other during the match. After the match, they accepted the challenge laid out by Santana and Ortiz, who they'll probably face in the upcoming weeks.
#1 Giving the spotlight to Private Party
The Private Party faced off against the Lucha Bros in the semi-finals of the AEW Tag Team Classic tournament this week. Private Party defeated Young Bucks, who were one of the favorites to win this tournament in shocking fashion last week. Meanwhile, Lucha Bros defeated Jurassic Express to set-up this match.
After an exciting match-up, Pentagon Jr. and Rey Fenix picked up the win for the Lucha Bros. But what stands out is how the company used Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy. They are two young guys with a ton of potential and could very well be a major part of AEW's future. Therefore, the company has a job of building them up.
A victory over the Lucha Bros would have been sweet for the Private Party, but the former is a major tag team, who were expected to be in the finals. Therefore, the latter had to lose this match. However, they have gained a ton of momentum from this tournament and will be a bright spot in the future.
