Let\u2019s take a stroll down memory lane and relive some of the madness.<\/p>\n<p>-Even after months of booking that has placed him as a background player in AEW, Adam Cole still gets really big pops. For a crowd that was quiet a lot of the night during the show, man, they were there for Cole. Leaning into his record and status at the top of the rankings leads me to believe he\u2019s on a collision course with Adam Page. That is something everything should want to see and would finally place Cole into something he can really sink his teeth into.<\/p>\n<p>-Britt Baker and Cole acknowledging their relationship on television in a story calls out the obvious, but they need to be careful not to be too cute together. Both characters need edge and arrogance to work, but their likability as a couple could have negative residual effects.<\/p>\n<p>-Wardlow vs. C.M. Punk was fantastic and I will die on that hill. An angle more than a match, admittedly, but it accomplished a ton. Punk was presented as the fighter that wouldn\u2019t give up, MJF the sick, demented, jerky egomaniac, and Wardlow the monster powerhouse with a heart. All was pristine and not only is Punk\/MJF hotter, Wardlow\/MJF is hotter too. Wardlow was tremendous. The facial expressions and ability to convey doubt regarding what MJF was telling him to do was notable and helped fan the drama they were looking for.<\/p>\n<p>-I\u2019ll buy a vowel on what\u2019s happening with Chris Jericho and Eddie Kingston. They seem on track for a big match, but it\u2019s tough to definitively point to why. Look, I\u2019d like to watch that match, but the feud needs to be ironed out better. Both are babyfaces and seeing them at each other\u2019s throats week in and week out without a discernable reason hurts the story\u2019s ability to build interest.<\/p>\n<p>-Great to see a more confident Hangman Page champion on display after beating Bryan Danielson last week. He was the champion and acted like it. Lambert was a good heel for Page to play off of and with the Archer attack, he has a challenger he can beat set before the run to Revolution on PPV starts.<\/p>\n<p>-Serena Deeb and Hikaru Shida have sizzling heat right now. Deeb was so intense with her vicious beating and it elevated the work Shida did selling. The grudge match between both has the makings of a classic whenever it goes down.<\/p>\n<p>-Brody King and Malaki Black together make perfect sense and the angle this week was a smooth introduction for King. The House of Black stuff is intriguing and could grow into something significant for the company if handled and booked properly.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1793269001\" 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>-Say it with me, AEW. Be better than that Red Velvet, Leyla Hirsch, and Kris Statlander segment. Just be better. The three women may as well have had a written script or cue cards in their hands.<\/p>\n<p>-The Acclaimed vs. Sting &amp; Darby Allin is a nice feud to elevate Acclaimed a bit, while keeping Darby and Sting busy. Tony Khan needs something bigger for Darby heading into Revolution.<\/p>\n<p>-I\u2019ll take more of that Pac with a side of that video production, please. Wow, a really good piece of hype content there. If AEW can do more of those, audiences will be salivating for a Pac return.<\/p>\n<p>-A solid main event. Daniel Garcia continues to turn heads and Sammy Guevara was a perfect opponent for him. Guevara winning was more than expected given a showdown with Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed TNT Championship looks to still very much be in the cards.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2022\/01\/11\/heydorns-raw-receipt-1-10-brock-lesnar-and-bobby-lashley-steal-the-show-in-hyping-royal-rumble-showdown\/\">HEYDORN\u2019S RAW RECEIPT 1\/10: Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley steal the show in hyping Royal Rumble showdown<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-535026300\"><div id=\"pwtor-3706640730\"><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.
