Yes, you want to sell that match, but both were made last week. It behooves AEW to feature them somehow on this show &#8211; even if that means a video package of some sort. Outside of that, Kenny Omega should help draw a number, but generally this feels like a filler episode of Dynamite.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>NXT<\/h3>\n<p>Walter vs. Drake Maverick<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-213553489\" 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>Io Shirai &amp; Zoey Stark vs. Dakota Kai &amp; Raquel Gonzalez<\/p>\n<p>Ember Moon &amp; Shotzi Blackheart vs. The Robert Stone Brand &#8211; NXT Women&#8217;s Tag Team Championship<\/p>\n<p>Karrion Kross vs. Oney Lorcan<\/p>\n<p>LA Knight vs. Bronson Reed<\/p>\n<p>Jordan Devlin vs. Kushida<\/p>\n<p>William Regal makes two big announcements<\/p>\n<p><em>Heydorn&#8217;s Analysis: This is a loaded show in terms of in-ring potential. Walter, both women&#8217;s matches, and Devlin vs. Kushida should deliver significantly. The Regal announcements should provide the drama. News on the men&#8217;s tag titles is nessecary at this point, but the real intrigue will be what happens with Kyle O&#8217;Reilly and Adam Cole. I&#8217;m looking for a TakeOver match announcement here from Regal.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2021\/03\/24\/wwe-announces-new-home-for-thunderdome\/\">WWE announces new home for ThunderDome<\/a><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-4100713436\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-662084393\"><div id=\"pwtor-547776271\"><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>Well, it\u2019s Wednesday.
