Christian Cage showed off far more in this match than he did with Frankie Kazarian. Matt Sydal was a good opponent creating movement and displaying his athleticism. In the post match, they tied together the happenings with Team Taz as Taz and the injured Ricky Starks called out Christian leading to an ambush. Hook, Powerhouse Hobbs, and Brian Cage beat them down until Hangman Page came strutting out and handing his beer to Starks. He brawled with Brian Cage leading into their match at Double or Nothing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jon Moxley &amp; Eddie Kingston vs. The Acclaimed &#8211; HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m enjoying the dynamic between Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston. It\u2019s a refreshing way to utilize Moxley since he has spent most of his time at the top of the card. He and Kingston continue to earn credibility within the tag division with performances like this. I still haven\u2019t been impressed by The Acclaimed, but this is a good use of them to get over a team with better established stars.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky Interview &#8211; HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A nice setup for their match at Double or Nothing. Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky called out Sting and Darby Allin and threatened them. This was nice to get some more insight into why their feud is happening &#8211; with Sky calling out Sting and Page going after Allin. Sting made his way to the ring while Allin attacked the heels from behind. Dark Order came out for reinforcement while Page and Sky fled the ring.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hikaru Shida vs. Rebel &#8211; MISS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A means to an end. Not much of a match with silliness, distractions, and interference. It all led to Britt Baker\u00a0 making an attack at the end. Not a bad segment with Baker looking strong, but it made their match at the PPV feel not as strong compared to the sit-down interview with Baker from last week.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3456732870\" 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>The Inner Circle\u2019s Response &#8211; HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An excellent response from The Inner Circle after last week\u2019s segment. Earlier in The night, The Pinnacle showed themselves off as pompous jerks at a fine restaurant. While The Inner Circle is coming off as the smart hard knocks group ready for a fight. Each member, again, had their moment to shine while Jericho capped it off by accepting the Stadium Stampede match and announcing the return of Santana. He ended with the great quote, \u201cDance all over your face and piss all over your grave.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Serena Deeb vs. Red Velvet &#8211; HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Serena Deeb is a solid veteran who consistently carries her opponents to very good matches. This was no exception with Red Velvet. She held up her end showing her athleticism throughout the match. As they get more exposure and experience, AEW is developing a well rounded women\u2019s division that demands more time on Dynamite.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Austin Gunn vs. Anthony Ogogo &#8211; HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another short match to get over Ogogo\u2019s gut punch. He showed more in this match up, which was encouraging going into his match with Cody. They\u2019re saving what he can do for the PPV, which I like as an intriguing strategy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Miro Interview &#8211; HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is finally the Miro we have been waiting for. He\u2019s gotten away from the video games and is ready to be a brutalizing monster. I like Lance Archer as his first opponent and building to a sort of battle of the giants type of match. It\u2019s not something AEW has really done before with their smaller roster. I assume Archer will take the loss, but it\u2019s in an effort to rehabilitate and build on Miro\u2019s character.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-626223719\" 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<p><strong>The Young Bucks vs. The Varsity Blonds &#8211; HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This incarnation of The Young Bucks is fantastic. They have defined cocky heel characters that play to their strengths. They don\u2019t have to have the all out high spot matches that we\u2019re used to. They can take a slower methodical approach while highlighting their babyface opponents. In the past match, Eddie Kingston and Jon Moxley beat down the Bucks and stole their expensive shoes. More good hype going into their match at Double or Nothing since they have spent a lot of time highlighting their shoes for the superkick party.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2021\/05\/19\/5-19-aew-dynamite-tv-results-sages-alt-perspective-report-on-the-young-bucks-vs-the-varsity-blondes-jon-moxley-eddie-kingston-vs-the-acclaimed-anthony-ogogo-in-action-more\/\">5\/19 AEW DYNAMITE TV RESULTS: Sage\u2019s \u201calt perspective\u201d report on The Young Bucks vs. The Varsity Blondes, Jon Moxley &amp; Eddie Kingston vs. The Acclaimed, Anthony Ogogo in action, More.<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2268477966\"><div id=\"pwtor-160065794\"><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>Christian Cage vs. Matt Sydal &#8211; HIT A solid competitive match between these two.
