Match One- Trent v Pac- I think this match may have gone too long. I am all for a competitive match, but in this case, I think that Pac should have destroyed Trent. The finish was confusing, as Pac hit a black arrow and appeared to get the pinfall victory, but the ref called it a 2 count despite Trent not kicking out. Pac had to lock in the brutalizer to pick up the win.
Cody's Announcement- Cody comes out to announce that if he loses to Jericho at Full Gear, he will never have another world title match again. He then rants about Jericho for a few minutes and the crowd eats it up. Great promo here, Cody is probably the most over member of the AEW roster.
Match Two- Dark Order v Private Party- I say this every week and I am going to say it again today, AEW has the best tag division in all of wrestling. They put on great tag-team matches every week and this was no exception. Definitely the right decision here, with Private Party picking up the win and earning a spot in the triple threat tag match at Full Gear.
Match Three- Jamie Hayter & Emi Sakura v Shanna & Riho- We go from the best part of AEW's roster to the worst, the women's division. This was a solid match, I just feel like the women's division lacks a true star. Hayter has the potential to be a top heel in AEW, and it seems like that's what they are going to use her as. Sakura picks up the win against Riho. I think this guarantees that Riho get her win at Full Gear this Saturday.
Match Four- Shawn Spears v Brandon Cutler- Spears dominates this match, winning with a death valley driver to pick up the win fairly quickly. I am not a fan of squash matches, but I like that Spears is being built as a dominant heel.
Main Event- Jericho & Guevara v Omega & Page- Page and Omega dominate the early parts of this match, beating down the less experienced Guevara. Omega and Guevara have a pretty good back and forth during this match, showing pretty good chemistry with each other. Jake Hager gets involved to stop Omega's momentum. Page looks to have the match won before Pac interferes with a low blow when the ref's back is turned. That opened Jericho up to hit the Judas effect for the win. Very good way to end the show here. Good heel work by Jericho and Guevara.
A huge brawl between the Inner Circle and the Elite and Jon Moxley ends the show. Fun, Chaotic end to a good episode of Dynamite.
My top five from Dynamite this week-
1. Cody
2. Jericho
3. Private Party
4. Pac
5. Shawn Spears
