FINAL THOUGHTS: All I want to know is if Eddie Kingston has recovered from his Sunday night heroics yet! I’m a little worried that Kingston, Moxley and Omega are nowhere to be found in the promotional material for tonight’s episode. Surely they won’t just pretend that the big explosion at the end of Sunday’s PPV didn’t flop, right? I am really starting to warm up to the idea that Kenny Omega is just bad at building exploding rings, and is some sort of real life Wile E. Coyote. Hopefully we’ll get some sort of resolution tonight.

At #AEWRevolution @ScorpioSky became the Face of the Revolution by climbing the ladder & grabbing the Brass Ring. This week on #AEWDynamite he aims to become the Face of the Network when he battles the champ @DarbyAllin for the TNT Championship TONIGHT LIVE at 8/7c on TNT! pic.twitter.com/w067m2KgxE

Longtime Primer-Heads will know that Scorpio Sky is my guy and I think he’s one of AEW’s most promising and underutilized talents. This feels rushed though. He just came back from injury on Sunday, why not give this matchup time to breathe and develop? There’s no need to crank out a title match between two of your rising stars, let their rivalry build so that this match up feels important and must-see. Right now the TNT title alone doesn’t lend enough credibility to the battle.
