Final Thoughts
What I’m Excited About: Thunder Rosa vs. Britt Baker main eventing Dynamite. This has been a fun feud and I’m looking forward to it’s payoff. This will also be the first time a women’s match has main-evented Dynamite, which is both exciting and overdue.
What I’m Confused About: Ten days ago AEW sanctioned an exploding barbed wire death match. Tonight AEW has declined to sanction tonight’s main event, presumably because they are worried that they’d be liable for whatever freakish level of violence and injury will occur. What do they know that we don’t? What have they heard about what Thunder Rosa and Britt Baker have planned that is more gruesome and more violent than barbed wire ropes and a ring rigged with C4? Either we’re in for the most violent and bloody match of all time, or AEW needs to rethink the logic and timing of “unsanctioned” matches. I am hoping for the latter.
We're living in a post 69 Me Don world

What I’m Dreading: I’m praying that AEW just drops any reference to or explanation for the botched explosion at Revolution. I can’t stop thinking about the Tweet I linked above and how “69 me Don” shifted my perception of Kenny Omega and his title reign just enough in the wrong direction for me to worry a little. Let’s just move on and forget this all happened.
