Most of their stars (and soon to be stars) will be on display throughout the night, culminating in the Pay-Per-View level main-event: Jon Moxley vs. Kenny Omega for the AEW World Championship. I don\u2019t have much to say that PWTorch columnist Zach Heydorn didn\u2019t already say in his excellent column this morning (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2020\/12\/02\/heydorns-take-aew-gambling-on-tonights-gateway-match-to-boost-audience\/\">LINK<\/a>), which I strongly encourage you to read. His take on the booking is spot on.<\/p>\n<p>The only thing I will continue to harp on is the absence of the AEW Women\u2019s Champion from the card. This card is clearly a showcase for casual\/new viewers and the only women\u2019s match on the card is Britt Baker vs. Leyla Hirsch? If a card showing off the best that your promotion has to offer doesn\u2019t include much of your women\u2019s division (or your women\u2019s champion), then you have clearly been neglecting your women\u2019s division. Additionally, Baker has done a phenomenal job getting herself over and is a smart inclusion on the show, but her in-ring work hasn\u2019t reached the level of her character work and I worry that a bad women\u2019s match will leave a bad taste in new viewers\u2019 mouths.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>RECOMMENDED:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2020\/11\/28\/aew-hits-misses-11-25-omega-moxley-contract-signing-powerhouse-hobbs-tazz-cody-exchange-hangman-vs-silver-pac-fenix-vs-butcher-blade-more\/\">AEW HITS &amp; MISSES 11\/25: Omega-Moxley contract signing, Powerhouse Hobbs, Tazz-Cody exchange, Hangman vs. Silver, Pac &amp; Fenix vs. Butcher &amp; Blade, more<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2645992898\"><div id=\"pwtor-186773870\"><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>AEW DYNAMITE: WINTER IS COMING PRIMER DECEMBER 2, 2020 AIRS ON TNT, 8:00 PM EST BY JOSHUA CHAMBERS (@Josh_Chambers), PWTORCH CONTRIBUTOR Arena This week\u2019s episode will emanate from Daily\u2019s Place in Jacksonville, Fla.
