AEW Dynamite bagged a pretty high viewership score last week, and they continued the momentum that they accured to put on a very entertaining show tonight as well. Everything just came together on this week's edition of AEW Dynamite, and the result was a show that did not wane in terms of action at any point.
There was a lot about this week's episode of AEW Dynamite to like and not as much to dislike. So, go right ahead and catch this AEW Dynamite episode if you haven't already because as a show, it is well worth your time and the FITE TV subscription (depending on where in the world you're at).
As always, you are welcome to air your views and opinions about AEW Dynamite in the comments section below, even if your thoughts differ from those of the reviewer.
#1 Best: Great showing for Will Hobbs on AEW Dynamite
There is no better way to launch someone straight into the limelight after his signing than to have him team up with the World Champion during an episode of AEW Dynamite, to take on a team of formidable heels, led by two all-time greats. Tony Khan did the right thing by having Jon Moxley team up with Will Hobbs on AEW Dynamite this week, and the fact that Darby Allin will be part of the collective as well next week just makes the whole deal even sweeter.
Also, how cool will it be to see Lance Archer and Brian Cage team up to take Jon Moxley's team down next week on AEW Dynamite, considering that Lance Archer is in a program with the current World Champion and Brian Cage has had quite the history with him too.
#1 Worst: Big mistake with a former WWE star on AEW Dynamite this week
Even though Kip Sabian and Penelope Ford are incredibly talented and will do great things in the course of their career, one just wishes that Miro was kept away from goofy wedding skits and bachelor parties, because he is the biggest acquisition for the company since Jon Moxley and the segment this week on AEW Dynamite did not do him any real favors at all. Sure, it's a great way to make both Sabian and Ford seem a lot more interesting than they have been portrayed thus far, but Miro really needs to mix it up with some of the top stars on AEW Dynamite so that he does not lose any of his immediate momentum.
The biggest problem with Miro when he was a part of WWE as Rusev is that he was booked in a lot of silly wedding skits that killed his momentum. To be part of yet another wedding program on AEW Dynamite is the last thing that the dude needs.
#2 Best: The Young Bucks cross the line again on AEW Dynamite
The match between FTR and Jurassic Express on this episode of AEW Dynamite was fantastic as one would expect from two teams as good as they are. The star of the match that kicked off AEW Dynamite this week was Jungle Boy, who is a performer who is quickly coming into his own and should enter the main event picture in almost no time. But it was what happened at the start of the match on AEW Dynamite that caused quite an uproar indeed.
Matt and Nick Jackson kicked an AEW official and threw a wad of notes at Tony Khan to pay off their fine for attacking Alex Marvez last week, to build on the change in character we have seen from them in recent weeks, cementing their heel turn.
FTR and The Young Bucks also had a brief interaction backstage and we know that this was yet another tease of the upcoming dream match, although a heel vs. heel contest may be awkward.
#2 Worst: Kenny Omega certainly isn't Chris Jericho when he is behind the AEW Dynamite commentary desk
It was necessary for Kenny Omega to be on commentary this week on AEW Dynamite to tell the story that will eventually lead to Hangman Page vs. Kenny Omega. It's just that Kenny Omega's way of speaking does not naturally lend itself to commentary in the same manner as Chris Jericho or even someone like Samoa Joe on WWE RAW. Yes, Kenny Omega is an artist in the AEW Dynamite ring, and there wasn't anything terrible about his commentary on AEW Dynamite this week, but it's just not his strong suit.
Hangman Page and Frankie Kazarian had the match of the night on AEW Dynamite and to be quite honest, Kenny Omega's commentary was almost a distraction.
But that said, if this means that we will soon get to see Kenny Omega in a singles environment, mixing it up with top talent as he did in NJPW, it is certainly a step in the right direction from AEW.
#3 Best: Thunder Rosa and Ivelisse tear the house down on AEW Dynamite
Less than 24 hours before AEW Dynamite aired, where Thunder Rosa defended her NWA Women's Championship against Ivelisse, she was a part of our weekly show 'UnSKripted with Chris Featherstone' where she joined Sportskeeda's own Dr. Chris Featherstone to promote her big title match. We went into this week's match with the highest of expectations, and thanks to Thunder Rosa and Ivelisse, the women's division of AEW is back on track once more.
One just hopes that Thunder Rosa can become a part of AEW Dynamite on a much more regular basis in the weeks to come because her skill and her athleticism just take the women's division to a whole new stratosphere. In fact, the moment showcased below between Thunder Rosa and Hikaru Shida is very telling indeed and should give us a preview of what we can expect on AEW Dynamite.
So, all in all, this was an 8/10 episode of AEW Dynamite, and we look forward to reviewing next week's show, if the quality of content is so great.
