Grading AEW Dynamite (November 6)

Cody had a few things to say.

Shawn Spears vs. Brandon Cutler - D

With this being the go-home show to Full Gear, this truthfully felt like a waste of valuable air time. Joey Janela's run-in after the match was the most important thing, and he will have a confrontation with Spears at Full Gear, but none of this was built upon Dynamite. Like the women's title match, it came out of the blue.

Let's hope that AEW doesn't copy WWE in bloating their pay per views, which has been the case so far. This match doesn't feel like it needs to take place at Full Gear and can instead take place on next week's Dynamite.


Main event chaos - A+

This was everything it needed to be. Chris Jericho got a win to keep himself strong heading into Full Gear. Cody came out to attack Jericho afterward, along with MJF. The entire Inner Circle brawled with the elite and Jon Moxley took no one's side, attacking Kenny Omega and the Inner Circle alike.

The battle lines were drawn. Dynamite ended in chaos, fading to black during the brawl itself.

It was everything a final push toward a pay per view was supposed to be, leaving us wanting more instead of having some trope where one wrestler "stands tall" on the go-home show.
