AEW Dynamite: 3 botches and mistakes you missed this week (December 4th, 2019)

AEW Dynamite has been beaten in the ratings for two weeks straight by NXT after what was a fantastic week for WWE with Takeover: War Games and Survivor Series defying many fans' expectations.

This meant that AEW had to go back to the well this week and hope to push forward into 2020 with a lead in the rating war. Whilst both Cody Rhodes and Chris Jericho fired shots at their former employees on the show, it was otherwise a show that took advantage of the talent that AEW had to offer.

There were a lot of promos, but these lead to furthering the current storylines which can only help AEW moving forward as they continue to build into the new year. Whilst the show was structured much better this week, there were a number of interesting botches and mistakes throughout the show, which many eagle-eyed fans were able to spot.

#3 The sound technicians continue to have issues

There were a lot of sound issues this week on AEW this week

This week's show was full of production issues as the sound seems to go up and down throughout and was cracking at times as well. It was perhaps most noticeable when The Young Bucks opened the show and were making their way to the ring.

Justin Roberts announced them as part of their entrance, but his mic can be heard crackling before the sound goes completely and then returns in time for the fans to hear him say "Young Bucks."

This continued throughout the first bout of the night since the commentary team could hardly be heard for short periods of time, but luckily it was fixed by the time the second hour began. This should be something that the company should test before the show airs since many fans took to social media to complain about the fact that the sound was of very poor quality.

#2 Where is Pentagon Jr?

Rey Fenix wasn't accompanied to the ring by Pentagon

Trent made his way to the ring to face Rey Fenix with Chuck Taylor and Orange Cassidy by his side, but when Fenix made his way to the ring, he was on his own.

Justin Roberts seemed to believe that Pentagon Jr would be by his side for the match to even out the numbers, but he was nowhere to be seen even though he was announced as being there.

Fenix went on to win his match when he pinned Trent, but he then attacked the Lucha Bro after the bell and Rey had to fight his way out as Chuck Taylor held his friend back.

Pentagon Jr did surface later in the show since he went one-on-one with Christopher Daniels since the two men have had a number of issues over the past few weeks, and Jr was able to capitalize on this and pick up the victory by nefarious means.

It's unknown why Pentagon was announced if he wasn't going to be by his partner's side, but the commentary team tried to cover for the mistake by stating that Pentagon was focusing on his match with Daniels later in the night.

#1 The Fallen Angel just fell

Christopher Daniels took quite the fall in his match with Pentagon Jr

Christopher Daniels returned to in-ring competition this week so that he could face the man who put him out of action with a trapped nerve a few weeks ago. Daniels obviously thought that he could still fly around the ring the same way he used to but that wasn't the case since his springboard moonsault saw him land on his back nowhere near his opponent.

It was made even more obvious that this was a botch because Pentagon had no idea what to do so he just rolled Daniels back into the ring and picked him back up onto his feet rather than covering him.

The commentary team then tried to cover for the botch by stating that Daniels could still be feeling the effects of his nerve injury and that he shouldn't have been cleared for competition if he wasn't one hundred per cent, but it was obviously just a slip on the top rope that took him out and left him flat on his back.

Many wrestlers have botched this kind of move over the years, it just shows that Daniels isn't as aerodynamic as he used to be.
