Grading AEW Dynamite (October 2)

Adam Page vs. PAC: A-

A force to be reckoned with.

We've been waiting for this since January, and the debut episode of Dynamite was as good a place as any to air it. Though it didn't feel quite as good as it could have been, it was still an excellent television match, with the commentary team doing their best to elevate it above the kind of meaningless confrontations we see every week on WWE television.

For Adam Page, this was an important bout, given that he just lost the biggest match of his career and failed to capture the AEW Championship. PAC, meanwhile, was looking to get himself closer to a title shot, but it would have to come at Page's expense.

It was a back and forth affair, but ultimately, PAC hit the Black Arrow and then put Page to sleep.

PAC was put over as a big deal, while Page will now question himself further. Both will have dynamic stories from here on out.
