What an interesting main event it turned out to be
#1 Worst: The botch

WOW. Tonight's #AEWDynamite card is PPV level stacked! This is going to be a HELL of a great show tonight. LOOK at this card!!!Nick Jackson v Rey FenixJon Moxley v Darby AllinPrivate Party v Proud-n-Powerful (Santana and Ortiz)Britt Baker vs Hikaru ShidaDynamite Dozen BR pic.twitter.com/yxIoFpYjeG
I'm certain that my colleague Phillipa Marie will do a far better job at explaining the botch later during the day when she writes about it considering it is her area of expertise. The erstwhile Proud-n-Powerful may have been incredible as LAX but somehow they haven't been nearly as exciting in All Elite Wrestling.
This week, they were scheduled to take on Private Party and let's face it, guys. Nobody has a bad match with Private Party because they're the most exciting young team in the business at the moment.

Really bad ref botch in the Private Party tag match tonight on #AEWDynamite. Santana was late for a spot which put the ref in a really bad position and they completely lost the crowd afterwards. That was a bad miss.
The match was okay until there was a referee botch, where the referee did not count to three. Jim Ross tried to cover up the botch on commentary but it was a mess.
There's starting to become too many ref botches on #AEWDynamite, too frequently. The problem seems to stem from them waiting for some sort of cue. If a match has to end early and then a fight ensues, so be it.If it keeps happening, then communications need working on...
This is also not the first time there's been a ref botch in All Elite Wrestling and I'm just worried that if this issue isn't rectified, the company may not come across as the major promotion that it is!
