AEW made their debut on TNT last night with an absolutely stacked show which saw the first-ever Women's Champion crowned in Riho. The show also included the return of Jon Moxley, who went after Kenny Omega partway through his main event match to further build their hotly anticipated collision at Full Gear next month.
Former WWE star Jack Swagger also made his debut in All Elite Wrestling when he made his presence known as part of the main event match between The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega who were up against Chris Jericho and LAX.
AEW has had quite the reputation throughout their last few shows when it comes to botches and mistakes, so it's not that much of a surprise that their debut as a TV show on TNT included many botches as well.
#3 Nyla Rose almost drops Michael Nakazawa
Nyla Rose was seen as a heavy favorite heading into her Women's Championship match against Riho, but interestingly, it was the much smaller woman who was able to come out on top in a match where she proved her strength by lifting Rose several times.
The match was seen as two of the best women's wrestlers in All Elite going one-on-one but it wasn't without its setbacks. One of these came partway through when Riho looked to lift Rose and it looked as though The Beast had been lifted until the Japanese star buckled under the weight and dropped her.
Rose then attacked Riho after the match as she was part of an interview with Michael Nakazawa and The Beast looked to powerbomb Nakazawa, but as she lifted him up, he rolled back down and almost landed on his neck before she was then able to re-deliver the powerbomb properly.
#2 Brandon Culter falls off the top rope
Brandon Culter took on Maxwell Jacob Friedman as part of the first episode of AEW Dynamite, but the match obviously didn't go to plan. Like many matches on the night, there were a number of botchy, awkward-looking moments where it wasn't clear if a mistake had been made, but there were also many outright botches as well.
There was quite an interesting botch at the beginning of the match when Cutler delivered a shocking sunset flip over the top rope which looked as though it was only just able to take MJF over.
But one of the main botches came towards the end of the match when Cutler climbed to the top rope, Friedman was obviously supposed to roll out of the way, but Cutler slipped before he could deliver a move and was then left standing above his opponent, who rolled anyway.
MJF thought fast and was able to continue the match anyway, but the fact that Cutler's knee buckled when MJF hadn't worked it at any point in the match made it clear that this was a botch.
#1 Cody Rhodes opens TNT
Cody Rhodes kicked off AEW Dynamite when he opened the show with the first wrestling match on TNT in more than two decades. The American Nightmare took on Sammy Guevara in a match that much like many others last night, contained a number of botches.
Sammy Guevara was looking for a standing frontflip midway through the match when Cody was completely out of position which lead to Guevara landing it on his feet and stumbling as he tried to stand back up. This wasn't the only botch in the match since Guevara was later looking to pin Cody but as he rolled through and locked it in, once again the former WWE star over rolled and then broke it up before the referee was able to count.
This was the opening match of the night and it definitely set the tone for things to come as the botches continued in their numbers for most of the matches. AEW is new to weekly TV and it could be argued that many of the stars are getting used to wrestling for TV as well, so hopefully, the botch count will improve in the future.
