Let\u2019s take a stroll down memory lane and relive some of the madness.<\/p>\n<p>-With Hangman Adam Page\u2019s AEW World Championship opportunity and Dark Order\u2019s AEW World Tag Team Championship shot hanging in the balance within the elimination match opener, the tone of the Elite\u2019s entrance was nauseating. Serious stakes should merit a serious presentation. Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks walking out in goofy Space Jam-esque jerseys and jacking jump shots didn\u2019t fit. Worse than that, it didn\u2019t generate a negative reaction toward them either. A miss for AEW and the first to this point within the build to the inevitable Omega vs. Page showdown.<\/p>\n<p>-Ricky Starks owned his promo time this week. He brought it in every way possible and continues to position himself as a can\u2019t miss guy with a microphone in his hand.<\/p>\n<p>-A bummer of an ending to FTR vs. Santana &amp; Ortiz. Momentum was a little slower than anticipated in the early going, but it picked up nicely until what looked like a severe cut to Cash Wheeler\u2019s arm essentially stopped the action. Hoping Wheeler is ok and that both teams can run it back soon.<\/p>\n<p>-Lance Archer had a great outing this week. The small push he\u2019s gotten has given him a large amount of new credibility to build off of. A match with Hiroshi Tanahashi looms.<\/p>\n<p>-There\u2019s that negative reaction to Cody again. AEW isn\u2019t doing much to pivot the audience away from that response, which tells me a heel turn is on the horizon. That said, the negative reaction stings the story with Black a bit, but the novelty of these guys colliding shouldn\u2019t hurt the match much overall. Establishing a clear lane for Cody should be a priority for AEW throughout the back half of the year.<\/p>\n<p>-It\u2019s time to get moving with Jungle Boy. If rumors are true and both CM Punk and Bryan Danielson are on the horizon for the company, Jungle Boy is an act that could easily get lost in the shuffle. He\u2019s not a main event talent yet, but needs an impactful, long term feud to help develop him into that type of star. Christian is there. Execute his heel turn on JB and go.<\/p>\n<p>-Boy, Chris Jericho is hurting today, huh? Nick Gage too. Their match was certainly a spectacle, but undoubtedly crossed the line of violence for some viewers. AEW needs to be careful with over exposure on the blood and guts stuff. Not only because it\u2019s dangerous and can be a turnoff for some, but because they\u2019ll want those types of matches available to them down the road in a meaningful way to cap off big money feuds.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1883152963\" 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 bloody main event is certainly going to cultivate a vast array of opinions. Even so, the AEW product is as hot as ever, but clearly is armed with a concrete vision forward too. It\u2019s an exciting and lucrative combination.<\/p>\n<p>-Speaking of exciting. A new, major event at a giant stadium in Chicago, plus a \u201cbest in the world\u201d mention from Darby Allin, plus MJF swiping specific promo lines from 10 years ago, plus the always-accurate rumor mill, equals CM Punk. We know Tony Khan likes to embellish hype on his acquisitions, but even Khan has to know that this type of tease will be unforgivable in the eyes of fans if not delivered on. Punk is a major get that will not only drive mainstream attention, but will bring new eyes to the AEW product.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2021\/07\/28\/7-28-aew-dynamite-tv-results-kellers-detailed-report-and-analysis-of-ftr-vs-santana-ortiz-jericho-vs-gage-christian-luchasaurus-jungle-boy-vs-hardy-family-office\/\">7\/28 AEW DYNAMITE TV RESULTS: Keller\u2019s detailed report and analysis of FTR vs. Santana &amp; Ortiz, Jericho vs. Gage, Christian &amp; Luchasaurus &amp; Jungle Boy vs. Hardy Family Office<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-4177936401\"><div id=\"pwtor-2495104803\"><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.
