Q & A

What was the good thing about the trios championship match?

It was a much needed title defense by the acclaimed after they had fallen off the map on Dynamite recently. It also utilized the criminally underutilized team of the Jericho Appreciation Society.

How did Hook promise that his and Samoa Joe's paths would cross again?

After Hook lost to Joe last week, he showed up to acknowledge his defeat and shake Joe's hand, telling the submission specialist he'll be back to face him again someday.

What is the Dealer's Choice stipulation and why is it interesting?

For the match between Swerve Strickland and Hangman Adam Page, each wrestler will get to choose the stipulation for when they wrestle each other next week. This adds an element of mystery and allows them to make life difficult for their rival.

Why was the Tony Storm and Diamante Perez segment entertaining even though it was corny?

Storm infused an otherwise tired gimmick with new life by having the segment be black and white while Perez was in color. They also played off their history together well.

Why do Valkyrie and Johnny Elite have promise as an act?

Their promos are solid and Valkyrie is a good enough wrestler that fans can enjoy her matches in addition to the promos. It's too bad AEW doesn't do more with mixed tag matches.

What was AEW's focus during this episode of Dynamite?

They focused on building up their undercard talent, even if the outcomes of the matches were predictable. Most wrestlers looked strong even in defeat.

What is Wardlow's current role in AEW?

He continues to be booked as an unstoppable monster, so fans know he means business when he finally gets into a real storyline.

What potential is there in The Young Bucks' new EVP gimmick?

It could give them a renewed sense of direction and vitality as heels, while playing off their real-life executive roles in the company.

Why don't fans likely care about the Orange Cassidy vs. Roderick Strong match?

Cassidy's title reign has been erratic and Strong has been booked as a joke so far in AEW, so there is little interest despite Strong's talent.

What was AEW's goal with this episode of Dynamite?

They focused more on elevating the undercard rather than having marquee matches. This may frustrate fans seeking big matches but helps build depth.
