 AEW Dynamite Review.

Opening.

Mina Shirakowa. Willow Nightingale. Megan Bayne. Swerve Strickland, and. Kenny Omega, all gave there thoughts on their Matches tonight.

Orange Cassidy's New Partner.

Orange Cassidy has a new Partner in crime, and his name is Tomohiro Ishii. They would beat Clark Connors, and. Gabe Kidd later on in the show. Due to work in my day job, i'm going to have to marry some sections together, this will only be for one week. Hello Darby Allin. This Match suffered from Technical issues with the Triller TV feed. This didn't sour my enjoyment.

Jon Moxley vs Mark Davis Continental Championship Eliminator.

I don't have a lot to say about this Match, because it was simply put, a lofi slugfest, that saw Jon Get the win. This had minor drama filled nearfalls that helped aid the Match to it's finish line. Jon would the later on Challenge Konosuke to a no time limit Match at Revolution for the Continental Championship. Don Callis, and his family then approved this on behalf of Konosuke who's still in Australia in Keyfabe. This was of course under the orders of the Andrade Blinders.

Hangman Adam Page After GrandSlam.

Did I hear this right. Hangman is going to takeaway Max's rights to have kids one day. ( more on this later )

FTR Segment.

FTR came out and called out The Young Bucks. I'm not a big fan of this, because it just feels like the Tag Division is going backwards. I get that Tony wants to finish this rivalry off, but these guys have met 5 times before. There best was in 2022 in the main event of a Dynamite in April of that year, the fourth time was at AEW Dynasty 2024, and nine months before I attended All In 2023, and there 3rd encounter came under the guidelines of needing more time. Were getting the 5th installment at Revolution. The Match will bang. I just think that we need to move on at this point.

Brody King Segment. 

Brody King will be back next week, and he will be back in the hunt for the AEW World Heavyweight Championship. The Ice Chants again were loud and clear, and I praise Warner Bros Discovery, and. AEW for not editing them out. It's important for fans to raise there voices and be heard.

Womens TBS Championship 4 Way.

Willow Nightingale, retained her championship, by beating. Marina Shafir. Megan Bayne, and. Mina Shirakowa. This was very good, and when you hold the Matches within the Match in your hands, you could get the sense where things were going to go. Mina was the hidden gem in this Match, as all four ladies got the movesets in.

RIP Kirwin Summers.

Tony Schiavone then told us that legendary producer Kirwin Summers has passed away. Bryan Danielson wore his emotion all over his face. Squaredcirclemma.com would like to send out my best thoughts to his loved ones at this awful time.

Hangman Adam Page And MJF Face To Face.

I loved this segment. It felt like a blistering assault to the senses. Max was on fire last night, as he laid bare the reasons why Hangman Has failed to maintain Championship reigns. 1st he crumbles under pressure. 2nd. He puts his friends first. 3rd he's a fraud. Hangman fired this back at Max, because this is also a reflection of Max. Then came the gut punch, if Hangman Loses then he can never challenge for the AEW World Heavyweight Championship again. I love this development, and the idea of giving the fans the option to choose the stipulation, only to have it taken away, is the idea of devine booking. Hangman Challenged Max to a Texas Death Match. I've got my issues with this stipulation. I get the feeling that it's becoming slightly overused. But given the fact that Mox, and. Takeshita are going to working a No Time Limit Match, timing would be of the essence, so an Ironman Match is out of the question.

Hook Is The Boss.

Just like a Pub. The Opps are now under new management. Hook. Hmm, what I make of this? I'm not sure. I had suffered a Powercut after writing this segment. So Hook Causes Power failure in my local area.

The Brawling Birds Debut.

The Brawling Birds debuted by beating two local Jobbers. I have a new theme for The Brawling Birds. ( Insert bad cockney accent here ) Were The Brawling Birds Hoo roo. Were The Brawling Birds oi yoy. Were The Brawling Birds and were going to slap the taste out of your mouth. Up the apples and pears. Oy yoy.

Thunder Rosa Is Back.

I'm loving the fact that Thunder Rosa has been medically cleared. Her vs Kris Statlander at a later date, oh go on then AEW if you must.

Kevin Knight vs The Beast Mortas.

Kevin Knight beat The Beast Mortas in a Match that would be better suited to Collision.

Kenny Omega vs Swerve Strickland.

This was a worthy main event, that was encapulated with breathtaking action, and heart melting near falls. I loved this Match, they thought in the fans, and Aubrey Edwards took a nasty ref bump thanks to Kenny, this would play into both mens chemistry, as the final stages of the Match sent the show home. Swerve got the win after he hit an awesome looking House call Kick to kenny who was in mid air as it was landing, this led to a Blue Thunder Bomb for the finish. Swerve then turned heel in the aftermath, by violently putting Kenny through the announcers table. This is the direction for Kenny at Revolution. I don't think that Kenny is being written off TV, because needs a second round.

Overview Of AEW Dynamite.

This was a jam packed episode of weekly TV that delivered as the direction towards Revolution continues.

This weeks AEW Dynamite is a high 8/10.
