Let\u2019s take a stroll down memory lane and relive some of the madness.<\/p>\n<p>-C.M. Punk and Dustin Rhodes had a damn wrestling match. It wasn\u2019t fancy and wasn\u2019t always smooth either. A fight, though, and that\u2019s the idea.<\/p>\n<p>-Punk going face to face with Adam Page after his match is a not-so-subtle hint as to where both men are going. That\u2019s your Double or Nothing main event and the AEW World Championship will be on the line. The audience buzzed for their confrontation, but it\u2019s a bizarre booking choice to make around two top babyfaces.<\/p>\n<p>-More Blackpool Combat Club into the veins please. Jon Moxley, Bryan Danielson, Wheeler Yuta, and William Regal are such a fun bunch to watch and have a strong chemistry together already. The aggressive nature of the group gives the show something it otherwise doesn\u2019t have.<\/p>\n<p>-A strong video package recapping and hyping the Jay Lethal vs. Samoa Joe saga to this point. The feud was presented in a serious way with both Joe and Lethal coming across as stars. If I\u2019m Tony Khan, I\u2019m getting this in the ring as soon as possible. No need to wait until PPV.<\/p>\n<p>-The New Japan\/AEW supershow is going to be an actual thing. No, the announcement didn\u2019t need to be made on Dynamite, but it certainly is a major announcement. There are dream matches all around between the two rosters and it should make for compelling television throughout the build. Chicago will be rocking on June 26 as well.<\/p>\n<p>-It\u2019s Adam Cole vs. Tomohiro Ishii on AEW Rampage this week. Cole\u2019s chest will cave in because of Ishii. Yes? Or no?<\/p>\n<p>-More of the same between Wardlow and MJF this week. That said, the \u201csame\u201d has been consistently good with Wardlow and MJF getting the desired reactions each week and in a strong way. Thumbs up.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1244088835\" 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>-Kyle O\u2019Reilly pinning Jungle Boy to qualify for the Owen Hart Foundation tournament was an interesting booking choice. Due to Cole\u2019s statement on someone from the Undisputed Elite winning it, O\u2019Reilly being in does make sense, but it\u2019s at Jungle Boy\u2019s expense. Christian got involved after the match and tried to comfort Jungle Boy on the loss. Maybe this is an avenue to jumpstart that feud?<\/p>\n<p>-I\u2019m a big fan of the Hook act. It\u2019s unique and leans into Hook\u2019s natural charisma. A feud with Danhausen makes zero sense. Danhausen is a babyface, so AEW is voluntarily watering down whatever momentum Hook had by putting them together. In addition, there is nothing less serious or ridiculous on a weekly wrestling show than Danhausen. A strong, green babyface shouldn\u2019t be asked to deal with something on this level. At best, Danhausen is a strong comedy character act. Hook gains very little from working with him.<\/p>\n<p>-Well, Sammy Guevara and Tay Conti are official heels. It was weird nodding along to Dan Lambert, but alas, that\u2019s where we\u2019re at.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AEW\/status\/1517209051721043974\">Britt Baker<\/a> has fallen too much in love with her own stuff. The mic work was fine, but what purpose did it serve? Less fun and more business would help her progress along more efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>-Good main event. Darby Allin and Andrade worked hard and told a strong story. The finish felt off and mistimed, but it didn\u2019t hurt the enjoyment of the bout. Sting thrived once again as well.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2022\/04\/21\/video-pwtorch-fireside-chat-4-21-heydorn-and-sage-chat-on-forbidden-door-wwe-more\/\">VIDEO: PWTORCH FIRESIDE CHAT 4\/21: Heydorn and Sage chat on Forbidden Door, WWE, more<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-4081026980\"><div id=\"pwtor-2171693616\"><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.
