Let\u2019s take a stroll down memory lane and relive some of the madness.<\/p>\n<p>-Darby Allin and Joey Janela were fantastic in the opener, but for polar opposite reasons. Allin can always benefit in showing off his credibility on offense. He was successful in that effort throughout this match and shined as a star retaining his championship ahead of what amounts to the biggest match of his career at Revolution. Janela\u2019s recognition of what needed to be done in this match was apparent and he set the table from the start. Some clear chemistry between both guys, too.<\/p>\n<p>-I\u2019m buying a vowel on Cody Rhodes. What was once the hottest act in the company is now floundering with under developed AEW Dark talent? It\u2019s nonsensical and all potential answers to that problem lead back to Shaq. The Shaq material has damaged Cody\u2019s role on Dynamite and has forced him into a strange holding pattern that has cooled him off significantly.<\/p>\n<p>-Hangman and Hardy? I chuckled. Should I be chuckling when it comes to Page though? That\u2019s the question and it\u2019s all in the follow-up. Their stuff at the bar with the contract was clever tonight and ultimately will prove that Page is more \u201cwith it\u201d than he leads on. If that\u2019s the catalyst to his rise back to the top of the card, I\u2019m in.<\/p>\n<p>-PAC in a squash match? Yes, yes, a million times yes.<\/p>\n<p>-Whoever wrote the Sasha Banks babyface turn in WWE should watch tonight\u2019s Sammy Guevara\u2019s babyface turn and then write on the chalk board 100 times, \u201cbabyfaces are likable.\u201d Guevara was almost perfect tonight. He maintained his confidence and swagger that give his character roots, but used it to speak for and with the audience to call out the heel in MJF. Some good booking and great character work all around.<\/p>\n<p>-Yes, Tony Schiavone interviewed Sting. No, I\u2019m not talking about a Dynamite rerun from five weeks ago. Jokes aside, the interview style is predictable and overdone at this point when it comes to Sting, but the end game was necessary. Team Taz needed a moment like tonight to get their heat as heels and dragging Darby Allin behind a car in a body bag definitively checked that box.<\/p>\n<p>-Good, but A to B level action to kick off the women\u2019s eliminator tournament. Thunder Rosa is arguably one of AEW\u2019s best pandemic signings. She significantly elevates the women\u2019s division.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3041877870\" 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>-The main event was the fun, action-packed car crash that was promised. Omega reigned supreme by getting the victory, but the Kenta\/Moxley program took giant steps forward in terms of intrigue as well. The real gem of the match? Lance Archer. Not only was he protected on commentary, but his interactions with Omega during the match signal that a championship opportunity is on the horizon sooner than later.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>NOW CHECK OUT HEYDORN&#8217;S RAW ROUNDUP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2021\/02\/08\/heydorns-raw-round-up-2-8-shane-mcmahons-return-elimination-chamber-taking-shape-and-more\/\">HEYDORN\u2019S RAW ROUNDUP 2\/8: Shane McMahon\u2019s return, Elimination Chamber taking shape, and more<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3789036310\"><div id=\"pwtor-1502342688\"><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>This week\u2019s episode of AEW Dynamite has wrapped.
