AEW returned to their usual place on TNT this week and presented a fantastic show that was headlined by Jon Moxley's match against Pac. Although the match ended in a TV draw, the two former WWE stars put on an impressive main event bout that followed an interesting match between Britt Baker and Jamie Hayter, and then a shocking segment featuring Brandi Rhodes.

AEW is building toward their Full Gear show on November 9th, which already features Cody Rhodes vs Chris Jericho for the AEW World Championship and the long-awaited match between Jon Moxley and Kenny Omega.

While there were some impressive matches on AEW this week, especially the one between The Young Bucks and Best Friends which also featured Orange Cassidy, there were also some shocking botches and mistakes on this week's show.


#3. The opening match

Private Party took on The Lucha Bros for a place in the AEW Tag Team Tournament finals this week on Dynamite, but perhaps it wasn't the best match to open the show. It's difficult to pick a distinctive mistake or botch in this match, especially since there were a number of them.

Both teams rely primarily on their high flying ability and there were several scrappy moves and exchanges that didn't seem as though they connected. The entire bout was also devoid of tags between Fenix and Pentagon, which was strange in a match filled with impressive spots. There was also a punch that didn't connect from Rey Fenix, a baseball slide that missed the target, and several moments where Isiah Kassidy looked as though he forgot the next move.

Marq Quen looked as though he was having a really bad day considering the number of shots that were off target, but it was The Lucha Bros that ultimately advanced and will now face SCU in the finals next week.

#2. Kenny Omega is on AEW Dark?

Kenny Omega took on Joey Janela this week on Dynamite, just two weeks after the two collided on AEW Dark in an unsanctioned match where they threw everything they had at one another. There was a flashback to their match ahead of this week's bout for fans who didn't tune into AEW Dark, but it appears that production forgot to change the logo back in time for Omega to make his entrance.

Instead, Kenny Omega came out and the backdrop to his entrance this week saw the AEW Dark logo in the background. It's not a huge mistake, but it's one that was quite obvious since the word Dynamite is usually under the logo, rather than the word Dark. Joey Janela's entrance featured the usual Dynamite logo.

This didn't take away from another fantastic match between Omega and Janela, who have obviously become good friends throughout this feud, but Omega needs to start focusing on his feud with former WWE Superstar Jon Moxley, especially since the two men once again do battle at Full Gear in just two weeks time.

#1. The referee didn't see the tag!

SCU took on The Dark Order in the Tag Team Tournament semifinals this week on Dynamite, knowing that the winner of the match would take on The Lucha Bros in next week's final. SCU already has issues with The Lucha Bros, after their attack sent Christopher Daniels to the hospital last week on Dynamite and will now keep him sidelined for up to eight weeks.

Scorpio Sky took his place in the match once again this week and was able to help his team advance to the finals with hopes of exacting some revenge in the process. It was a decent bout between two of AEW's best teams, but it appears that the referee was at fault in this one.

Aubrey Edwards was out of position a number of times throughout the match, but the most egregious occurrence was within the first few minutes of the bout when she was busy backing Frankie Kazarian into the corner. Stu Grayson made the tag out of the ring to Evil Uno, but the referee's back was turned and when she turned back around, she didn't even sell that there had been an illegal tag.

Grayson and Uno don't even look similar, so Edwards should have told Uno that he was in the ring illegally and forced the tag to happen in front of her in order to be legal.
