In Kingston\u2019s 18 year career, this was the biggest platform he\u2019s performed on. Known for his promo skills, Kingston brought the realism and authenticity on the mic before squaring off against Cody. The two went on to have hard hitting back and forth that\u2019ll be remembered as one of the high points in Cody\u2019s weekly TNT open challenges. At one point, Kingston used tacks which felt different because AEW has been conservative as to not exhaust different weapons. Cody came out with the win with attention drawn to Kingston\u2019s agony of defeat. The reaction to Kingston\u2019s appearance was overwhelmingly positive to finally see a non compromised Kingston in a major promotion. In 17 minutes of TV, Kingston was one of the most compelling characters AEW have featured. He\u2019d be a tremendous addition to the promotion\u2019s wealth of talkers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022MJF vs. Griff Garrison &#8211; HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Griff Garrison is a new name to Dynamite only viewers, but he\u2019s made several appearances on Dark and Being The Elite. MJF bullied Garrison before the match claiming he was undefeated which Garrison disputed. MJF destroyed Garrison throughout before getting the pin. MJF appears to be laying out his case for a future title shot by claiming he\u2019s never been pinned or submitted. He\u2019s a heel who can beat down lesser opponents, but you can\u2019t wait to see him \u201cget his\u201d when he faces someone higher up the card.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022Taz Promo &#8211; HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Taz came out and explained his decision to throw in the towel for Cage. He said it was purely a business decision to protect Cage because he isn\u2019t wired to tap. Taz was logical while remaining a heel. Cage seemed far more engaged during the segment. Darby Allin interrupted, but was attacked by Ricky Starks. Allin took a hard hit before being powerbombed in the ring. Moxley came out for the save setting up a tag match for next week. I wasn\u2019t sure where Ricky Starks was going to fit into the roster, but I\u2019m an advocate for managers working with multiple wrestlers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022The Butcher &amp; The Blade vs. The Young Bucks &#8211; HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No disqualification stipulations almost always end up being the same kind of match. Whether it\u2019s called a Street Fight, Extreme Rules, or No Hold Barred. These teams put in the effort to make the Fall Count Anywhere stipulation something creative and memorable. The match began in a kitchen area of Daily\u2019s Place where The Butcher and The Blade were chopping up some meat. They brawled throughout the venue before bringing the action to the ring. The Bucks got a double pin victory after Matt and Nick jumped off separate parts of the staging area through two tables. The Bucks needed a satisfying victory and this match did it.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1998877375\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>\u2022Ivelisse vs. Diamante &#8211; MISS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ivelisse and Diamante wrestled a faster pace slugging style than we\u2019re used to seeing in the woman\u2019s division. They had a fine match, but neither were able to stand out other than the change in style. Both are individually talented and will bring something different to the division, but there wasn\u2019t much to their match.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022Hangman Page vs. Five &#8211; MISS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You would think with Hangman\u2019s placing on the card, he would ravage someone named after a number. Five (formerly Alan Angels) got in a substantial amount of offense before Hangman could secure the win. This was an opportunity for Hangman to get an emphatic win before the post match angle. AEW has too often allowed lesser opponents to get in offense to the point where it does incremental damage to the bigger stars. In the post match, Dark Order attacked Hangman before FTR came out for the save. Kenny Omega came out too little too late. FTR continues to cause a rift in The Elite as they have their eyes set on the tag team championship.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022Chris Jericho &amp; Jake Hager vs. Luchasaurus &amp; Jungle Boy &#8211; HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jungle Boy shined again in the main event spot. He continues to add to his arsenal with several athletic moves. A good match all around leading to the return of Sammy Guevara. Guevara disguised himself as Serpentico attacking Jurassic Express before Orange Cassidy and Best Friends made the save. I like most fans am happy to see Guevara return to the ring, but there was something unsettling about how it was handled. Guevara was suspended over a month ago for making a comment on a podcast joking about rape with Sasha Banks. AEW took swift and strong action to correct the situation, but never publicly announced the length of the suspension. I don\u2019t believe a suspended wrestler should be rewarded with a surprise return that gives them a boost going forward. It&#8217;s far from the worst way they could have handled it, but certainly not a good look.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>RECOMMENDED:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2020\/07\/22\/7-22-aew-dynamite-tv-resuts-kellers-report-on-cody-vs-indy-standout-moxley-and-taz-speak-bucks-hangman-page-omega-mjf-more\/\">7\/22 AEW DYNAMITE TV RESULTS: Keller\u2019s report on Cody vs. Indy Standout, Moxley and Taz speak, Bucks, Hangman Page, Omega, MJF, more<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-4233928607\"><div id=\"pwtor-2599478877\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>\u2022Cody vs. Eddie Kingston &#8211; HIT What a promo from Eddie Kingston.
