That Punk promo was fireā¦AND THAT SMOOCH FROM MOX!! THE SMOOOOOOCH!!!
Overall, good show, and good matches. Still not enough women being featured. Itās exhausting.
Great episode with a phenomenal promo segment with Punk and Mox and excellent 2/3 falls match with Garcia getting elevated even more. Now Iām baffled as to why we are getting Mox vs Punk next week, if this was another company it just screams non finish DQ. But we donāt get that in AEW so why book it? Also itās in Ohio so you canāt just beat Mox there. Iām glad Kenny is back and I hope itās just playing up him returning or actual rust but Kenny did not look as good as he usually does. Now Iām not expecting main event Omega off the bat but maybe he has returned a bit early. Overall Iām liking the road to All Out.
Great start to the show. Surprising that Mox and Punk are having their match next week. This has to lead to a DQ/screwy finish right? Thoughts on what could be the match at All Out if not this? Hinting at Eddie x Punk for Arthur Ashe?
Great match between Garcia x Danielson with Garcia turning babyface.
They really love putting women right on the 9:20ET spot.
Dragon Lee x Omega spot was a bit scary.
Was the ending expected because the camera almost didnāt catch it?

Hello my friends!
Charleston got a lot more than they bargained for tonight.
Iām instantly intrigued by the angle involving Kenny Omega. No one asked for any predictions, let alone mine, but I think Kenny eventually costs the team, the Bucks turn on him, Kota Ibushi saves Kenny, and the Golden Lovers reunite one last time. America could use some golden love right now.
Iām also intrigued but somewhat troubled by Punk/Moxley occurring next week rather than at the pay-per-view in Chicago. Seems hotshotted, though I suspect thereās more afoot than meets the eye.
Last, Happy Birthday to my brother Trevor, who turns 36 on Saturday!

Outstanding first hour of this show between the Punk and Moxleyās war of words, and Danielson and Garcia putting on another tremendous match. Iām a big fan of this angle of Danielson trying to save Garciaās wrestler soul. Happy to see Kenny Omega back in the mix, but also concerned because of how he may be physically, and because of Don Callis being back by his side. Very curious where this babyface trio with heel seconds go. Iām guessing Punk vs. Moxley next week will be something small to lead to something bigger at All Out, maybe throwing in Hangman Page to make it a 3-Way.

Loved this episode so much. Danielson and Garcia is right up there with some of the best matches in dynamite history, Main event was bonkers in all the right ways and even if kenny isnāt 100% seeing him wrestle again was so awesome. couple of interesting decisions heading into the PPV, Mox and Punk being next week has so many different ways it can go, I feel the most obvious is a returning MJF and I feel like this could be an opportunity for a rare DQ finish which would put a ton of heat on MJF for spoiling the match. also I gotta say im actually kinda happy FTR arenāt challenging Swerve in our glory for the titles just yet, theyve only been champions for about a month and Id like to see them have some meaningful feuds before dropping the belts.

Punk/Moxley was a great promo to start the show, but I didnāt like the Hangman call-out go unanswered. Especially being in West Virginia, his homebase, Hangman comes off cowardly, which is not what he needs right now since he hasnāt wrestled much since losing the title. That aside, the promo was biting and personal, which played well into their multiple brawls during the show. Having the unification match next week instead of the PPV blindsided me. Could there be some kind of Hangman or MJF involvement?
What didnāt work for me was Jungle Boy. The crowd kinda got to him, but I got a kick out of his School Teacher Shameful Stare back at the crowd which actually stopped the āWhatā chants. Eat your heart out, Undertaker!
Danielson v Garcia was amazing stuff. One of my favorite TV matches this year. Garcia is a completely made man, and the crowd organically chanting āYouāre a Wrestlerā was the icing on the cake.
The subtle yet expected return of Kenny Omega started greatā¦ Up until you saw all of the new protective gear that heās wearing now. Seeing him in the compression top and the Stone Cold grade shoulder brace made me feel uncomfortable. Unless this is all a very elaborate sell by Kenny and heās fine, parts of the match felt like Kenny was exaggerating things and part felt like he may have been back to early. Either way, a fun match and show overall! The ending of the show seemed rushed, as the cameras caught Kevin Dunn syndrome and cut to multiple shots at once while Andrade was turning on Dragon Lee.

Very good show tonight! I liked the bookending of the Punk/Mox angle up to the start of second hour; very smart, although I was definitely clamoring for more physicality but I wonāt have to wait too long for that!
Awesome match between Garcia and Danielson. Daniel Garcia just continues to grow exponentially before our eyes and the organic āYouāre a wrestler,ā chants as he stood between Danielson and Jericho was perfect.
Kenny Omegaās return and the selling of all his injuries really brought into question the probability of the trio making it into the finals. Love the adversity story building to make the eventual victory so much more meaningful. Good stuff tonight!

Another classic first half to an episode of Dynamite. Not to say the second half was of poor quality.
On a show where the presumed All Out main event was announced for next week, Kenny Omega returned and Daddy Ass scissored his way back into our hearts, my biggest takeaway was the crowning of the companyās new top heel.
The guy on the floor with the massive sign.
An effectively bookended Dynamite with the Punk/Moxley promo and the return of Kenny Omega in the main event. The middle of the show was strong with Danielson/Garcia shutting it down with their excellent 2/3 falls match and the post-match aftermath with a conflicted Garcia surrounded by āyouāre a wrestlerā chants was tremendous.
Iād bet that Jericho/Garcia will be the match for All Out. A womenās match is once again in the 9:30 death slot (must be a day than ends in āyā). Iām pretty leery about Kenny returning with Don Callis tagging along. Cole/reDRagon betraying the Bucks constitutes Kenny going babyface.
Does anyone see Punk/Moxley having a real finish next week?
