We knew when Bryan Danielson joined AEW, he would be reopening a new world for himself and his wrestling ability. This match proved that in a 30-minute spectacle. It\u2019d be hard to argue that there\u2019s been a match on Dynamite better than this. It ranks near the top of the best matches on American television. The crowd was electric for this match starting from the first lockup. Although it ended in a draw, fans have to be satisfied with their first meeting in over 10 years. They\u2019ve had different ascensions in the industry rarely crossing paths and with everything they\u2019ve done, this was a legitimate dream match. They will definitely meet again in the future with that bout likely being for the championship. Whether that match is set for the next pay-per-view or otherwise, it will generate much deserved attention and feel like the stakes have been raised.<\/p>\n<p><strong>C.M. Punk Promo &#8211; HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another quality promo from CM Punk. His connection to the crowd is undeniable, but by his own admission we are yet to see the fired up version of him. He is aware of the \u201cHappy Punk\u201d commentary surrounding him of being grateful to be back and in awe of what AEW has become. He put the focus back on fighting Powerhouse Hobbs and the significance of his first match on television in many years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MJF vs. Brian Pillman Jr. &#8211; HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A fine match between both men. This gave MFJ a solid win while putting Brian Pillman Jr. in an elevated position. Pillman isn\u2019t ready for a major push and I don\u2019t believe that his character or ability warrants one. I imagine him being better off as a heel down the road versus his Flyin\u2019 Brian light role. I want to see him develop his own persona outside being the son of the famous Brian Pillman.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cody Rhodes vs. Malakai Black &#8211; HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Whether Cody knows it or not, the crowd is seeing him as a heel. His ridiculously long cape doesn&#8217;t help him either. Malakai Black is a fabulous heel character and he plays it so well, but he can\u2019t stop the fans from cheering him. He feels markedly different from anyone else on the roster and a total validation for fans who knew he was capable of much more than his WWE run allowed. Black took the win again after spraying mist at Cody and rolling him up. The right finish with Black going over, but Cody is still able to save face. Brandi also made her return to accompany Cody to the ring. With her and Cody back in the mix after the debuts of several new stars, now feels like the time to shake up his character.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1301448285\" 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>Sting &amp; Darby Allin vs. FTR &#8211; HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At 62 years of age, Sting was tremendous in this tag match. The crowd was fired up for him throughout the match. He didn\u2019t look out of place or take too much away from Darby Allin. Allin sold great for FTR leading to Sting hitting all of his signature spots. FTR are a different style from the Young Bucks, but in their own way they are one of the best tag teams out there. The crowd loved this match and so did I.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Britt Baker vs. Ruby Soho: Women\u2019s Championship Match &#8211; HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ruby Soho proved she was capable of much more and lived up to the hype. While this wasn\u2019t Britt Baker\u2019s best match, this was among her best matches with Soho looking like a legitimate contender and deserving of the main event spot alongside Baker. Fans split between rooting for one over the other, but Baker took the win in the end with the lock jaw. This feels like the right move because it established Soho as a championship contender and continues Baker\u2019s run as champion. Her ascension to stardom feels like it hasn\u2019t reached its pinnacle.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2021\/09\/22\/9-22-aew-dynamite-tv-results-sages-alt-perspective-report-on-aew-grand-slam-kenny-omega-vs-bryan-danielson-britt-baker-vs-ruby-soho-malakai-black-vs-cody-rhodes-more\/\">9\/22 AEW DYNAMITE TV RESULTS: Sage\u2019s \u201calt perspective\u201d report on AEW Grand Slam Kenny Omega vs. Bryan Danielson, Britt Baker vs. Ruby Soho, Malakai Black vs. Cody Rhodes, More.<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-607512611\"><div id=\"pwtor-4280866650\"><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>Kenny Omega vs. Bryan Danielson &#8211; HOMERUN An unbelievable match to kick off the show.
