He\u2019s immediately reached another level since leaving WWE. While I can appreciate the time they\u2019ve taken with his story with Cody Rhodes, I\u2019m ready to see him feud with someone else. Martin bounced around and sold like a veteran. He\u2019s coming into his own getting exposure and experience at a high level.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Inner Circle and American Top Team Segment &#8211; HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Say what you will about Dan Lambert, but the guy generates heat like no other on the roster. The entire time he spoke, the crowd laid on the boos. He antagonized The Inner Circle while they stood in the ring and said he would give the terms of a potential match next week on Dynamite. I\u2019m still concerned that the act has really been about Lambert and American Top Team over Scorpio Sky and Ethan Page. Paige Van Zant feels like a bigger star in the group at this point. She\u2019s playing up the heel role well and Jericho gave her a spot to shine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lucha Bros vs. FTR: AAA Tag Team Championship Match &#8211; HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>AEW is really breaking down the barriers of what to expect on their shows. We saw Bryan Danielson vs. Minoru Suzuki on TV for free the previous night. Now we have FTR winning the AAA tag team titles on Dynamite. This is clearly setting up a match between the two for the AEW tag titles. This match was good, but it was plagued by FTR wearing the fake lucha gear versus a straight up match.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jon Moxley vs. Wheeler Yuta &#8211; HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A good showcase for Jon Moxley. Just him coming out and winning in quick fashion is enough while he transitions to his next program. It was announced at the end of the show that he will be entering into the AEW Championship contender tournament. While it\u2019s a good spot keeping him near the top, I\u2019d like to see him get back involved in a grudge feud with another AEW star.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2545341907\" 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>Super Kliq (Adam Cole &amp; The Young Bucks) vs. Dark Order (Evil Uno, Alex Reynolds, &amp; John Silver) &#8211; HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A fun match all around. The Super Kliq is the most exciting athletic group in all of wrestling. Adam Cole adds a big cool factor to The Young Bucks and The Elite that didn\u2019t exist before. Not only that, but he compliments the Bucks in the ring like none other. I\u2019m not in favor of more championship title, but they make a great case for one with the banger matches they have.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MJF and Sting Segment &#8211; HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>More good stuff from MJF teasing the match with Darby Allin. Sting was quick to respond and clear him out. The story has progressed nicely as this feels like the right spot and pace for MJF and Darby Allin.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kiera Hogan vs. Penelope Ford &#8211; MISS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another miss. Not among the worst, but not something worthy of being on Dynamite. Penelope Ford can be really good against the right opponent, but these two didn\u2019t click.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hangman Page Promo &#8211; HOMERUN<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hangman hit all the beats he needed to. He came out with fire and passionately gave his mission statement. He promised that he would bring \u201ccowboy shit\u201d to Full Gear when he wrestles Kenny Omega for the AEW Championship. I\u2019ve been impressed with the way AEW wrote off Hangman with the Elite beatdown all the way to his return. It has been near perfect keeping him hot in the eyes of fans while giving him time off to care for his newborn.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-4251598822\" 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>Bryan Danielson vs. Bobby Fish &#8211; HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>AEW has gotten their money from Bryan Danielson and Bobby Fish. While Danielson was a marquee signing with big expectations, Fish has proven himself as someone who can be plugged in to have great matches. This was another superb showcase for both men. I still don\u2019t know where Fish lands outside of a Matt Sydal-esque role, but I don\u2019t think he needs to be more than that.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2021\/10\/16\/10-16-aew-dynamite-tv-results-kellers-detailed-report-and-analysis-of-danielson-vs-fish-dark-order-vs-super-kliq-dante-martin-vs-malakai-black-moxley-vs-yuta-more\/\">10\/16 AEW DYNAMITE TV RESULTS: Keller\u2019s detailed report and analysis of Danielson vs. Fish, Dark Order vs. Super Kliq, Dante Martin vs. Malakai Black, Moxley vs. Yuta, more<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2680802536\"><div id=\"pwtor-3125212308\"><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>Malakai Black vs. Dante Martin &#8211; HIT Another nice showcase for Malakai Black.
