Early on Matt regrouped at ringside, but Fenix leaped off the ring apron with a head scissors that sent Matt into the ringside barricade. Excalibur plugged Schiavone and Paul White hosting AEW Elevation on YouTube at 7 ET next Monday (the hour before Raw starts). Ross talked about Fenix and Pac being hungry because of so many struggles and setbacks due to COVID in 2020. Ross said when he signed with AEW, one of the matches he wanted to call was the Young Bucks vs. Lucha Bros. Ross said he\u2019s interested to hear from Eddie Kingston and Jon Moxley after this match. At 9:00 Rey caught a charging Matt with a sudden cutter. Both were down and slow to get up.<\/p>\n<p>Matt came back with a Destroyer a couple minutes later. Pac gave Fenix a pep talk at ringside. Fenix popped up and beat the count. Matt then landed a top rope flying elbow for a near fall. Schiavone said, \u201cThat was Randy Savage-like.\u201d Matt protested the count, then applied a sharpshooter. Fenix went for a low dropkick, but Matt moved. Fenix\u2019s feet connected with Nick at ringside. Matt slid to ringside and superkicked Pac as Pac was approaching Nick. Fenix and Matt exchanged mid-ring strikes. Matt flipped out of Fenix\u2019s move and then superkicked him. Fenix kipped up after a second superkick and dropkicked Matt. Both went down and were slow to get up at 14:00. They countered each other, and Fenix ended up hitting a leaping tombstone piledriver for a win.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Fenix in 16:00.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1730884080\" 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><em>(Keller\u2019s Analysis: This was good, but there was something about the intensity most of the way by Matt that gave off a vibe his head wasn\u2019t into it or his mind was elsewhere. He just seemed a little checked out and was going through the motions. This follows the WWE formula of a singles match featuring the challenger in a future tag match winning.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-They went to Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston sitting in front of a fire table. Moxley seemed to be still dealing with a headache and other injuries from Sunday as Kingston talked about the heat he felt in the ring. Mox said he thinks Omega really wanted to blow them up. Mox said, \u201cImpact paid for the bomb.\u201d He asked if the bomb came in a box marked ACME. \u201cI made more explosive volcanoes in fourth grade science class,\u201d he said. \u201cWhat the hell was that?\u201d He said Omega was the better man and kept the title, \u201cbut I did get a drinking buddy back.\u201d He said he could have come out a little earlier, though. Eddie and Mox talked over each other a little, but in a comedic way. Mox said he\u2019s glad he didn\u2019t get blown up, but he would have liked to see a bomb go off. He said if you\u2019re going to flash a weapon, you better use it. He winked and swigged a drink.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller\u2019s Analysis: AEW is leaning into blaming Omega and Don Callis for bad explosives since they were the ones who \u201cbuilt the gimmicks\u201d themselves. It\u2019s done a bit tongue-in-cheek and there aren\u2019t many who could pull off this wink and nod better than Moxley and be forgiven by disappointed fans. But will they see him as a \u201ccompany guy\u201d who\u2019s selling them a bill of goods because the company is trying so hard to save face on a mistake?)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Ross said he loved the candidness. Then Schiavone plugged Cody and Arn Anderson would be out next. [c\/ss]<\/p>\n<p>-During the break, they showed split-screen highlights from Revolution including Scorpio Sky winning the ladder match.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller\u2019s Analysis: That was good use of the split-screen format.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>(2) CODY RHODES (w\/Arn Anderson) vs. SETH GARGIS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cody presented his weight-lifting belt to a fan in a wheelchair at ringside. The announcers said Cody won\u2019t disclose the extent of his shoulder injury. Excalibur said earlier Arn wouldn\u2019t let anyone near the trainer\u2019s room where Cody was getting his shoulder worked on. Cody landed an early running powerbomb, then applied a figure-four leglock for a quick win.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2138546934\" 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>WINNER: Cody in under 1:00.<\/p>\n<p>-Schiavone entered the ring to interview Cody after his win. Schiavone\u2019s mic didn\u2019t work. Cody got him a replacement. Schiavone asked how his shoulder is doing after Shaq threw him around last week. He was interrupted quickly by Pentagon Jr. He had a translator with him to trash-talk Cody a bit. Penta said if Cody is the Prince of Pro Wrestling, then he\u2019s the Lord of Lucha Libre. He said at Revolution, he lost. He said if it was just them one-on-one, he still would have lost. His translator said he\u2019s lucky he didn\u2019t focus on hurting his arm even more to the point he wouldn\u2019t have been able to pick up his baby girl. Cody charged after Penta and they were separated by a crowd of wrestlers and officials.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller\u2019s Analysis: Good to see Cody move into a regular feud with a trash-talking heel wrestler. It\u2019s clear and simple and effective. Penta\u2019s struggles with English could drag things down, but the interpreter was just smarmy enough to add to the act.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Chuck Taylor and Orange Cassidy were hanging out at an arcade. Taylor asked for another match. He said he\u2019ll be his butler again if loses, but this time for life. Taylor said they\u2019ll put video games around ringside and put their heads through all of them. Cassidy stood up and said, \u201cThen we break you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller\u2019s Analysis: It doesn\u2019t ring true at all that anyone would offer to be someone\u2019s butler for life if they lost a wrestling match. Why even go there? Just have a damn match where the pride of winning and losing is enough.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Ross plugged Schiavone would interview Sting next. [c]<\/p>\n<p>-Schiavone interviewed Sting who talked about Darby taking risks. He said it makes him a very dangerous man. He bragged about winning on Sunday. He was (thankfully) interrupted by Lance Archer and Jake Roberts. Archer said if they aren\u2019t given time, they\u2019ll take TV time. Archer said he didn\u2019t need a ladder match victory to be the Face of the Revolution. He said if things don\u2019t change, he\u2019ll be taking much more than time. Schiavone said this is Sting\u2019s time to talk. Archer sarcastically apologized and left. Sting then thanked Tony and left.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller\u2019s Analysis: Not sure that counts as a heel turn for Archer, but it crossed from assertive to rude territory. But anything that keeps Sting from talking for too long is a net positive.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Dasha interviewed Q.T. \u201cPlease Don\u2019t Turn the Channel\u201d Marshall and Lee Johnson. She asked about Marshall walking out on his partner Dustin Rhodes at Revolution. Marshall said he\u2019s human and he let his emotions get the best of him. He said tonight is about Johnson, who faces \u201cAll Ego\u201d Ethan Page.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(3) \u201cALL EGO\u201d ETHAN PAGE vs. LEE JOHNSON (w\/Q.T. Marshall)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A soundbite interview aired during Page\u2019s entrance, but the sound mix was all off and it was difficult to hear him. He complained about Marshall stealing his spotlight. They cut to an early break. There were still sound issues. They stayed with the action on split-screen. [c\/ss]<\/p>\n<p>They were still having sound-mix issues after the break, and it was actually an NBA feed. Ross said Page isn\u2019t very popular in the locker room. Page won with a released Razor\u2019s Edge called The Ego\u2019s Edge.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Page in 8:00.<\/p>\n<p>-After the match, Marshall watched Ethan stomp away at Johnson. Then he turned and left. Dustin ran out to check on Johnson. Marshall just walked to the back. Schiavone asked what was going on with Marshall.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller\u2019s Analysis: I couldn\u2019t tell if the NBA game sound was piped into the arena or not, but it was hugely distracting either way. It finally stopped as Dustin helped Johnson to his feet.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Alex Marvez stood outside and asked \u201cHangman\u201d Page what he\u2019s doing with Matt Hardy\u2019s money. He was sitting on a new lawn mower he bought. He said he bought whiskey and vinyl albums and donated a bunch to a local kids education charity. Dark Order showed up and piled onto the lawn mower. Page drove away. Only Alan Angels couldn\u2019t fit, and they drove off with him. He waved goodbye, but he seemed a little sad being excluded from the fun. [c]<\/p>\n<p>-Schiavone stood on the stage and said one of the biggest happenings at Revolution was the arrival of Christian Cage. He said he\u2019s one of the greatest competitors of all-time. Schiavone was interrupted by Omega\u2019s women with brooms. Schiavone asked if they are part of Christian\u2019s entrance. Omega then came out, smiling at his success at stealing Christian\u2019s spotlight. Don Callis, Doc Gallows, and Karl Anderson joined him on the stage. They all headed to the ring.<\/p>\n<p>Callis apologized and said they won\u2019t get to hear from the brand new signee in AEW. \u201cWe call the shot around here and take what we want, then we take a little more,\u201d he said. He said he is standing next to the greatest wrestler who ever lived, and the new \u201cKing of the Death Matches,\u201d Omega. Callis said on Sunday, it all went according to plan. Omega said, \u201cMaybe not everything Mr. Callis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Callis said he must be talking about the explosion not heard around the world. He said they\u2019ve taken a lot of heat in recent days by the company and the fans for the sparklers show. He said he will neither confirm nor deny they had anything to do with it, but they will confirm it made them happy to take away what they wanted. He said Tony Khan likes to make great memories.<\/p>\n<p>He said they took that away on Sunday. He said they took away Moxley\u2019s chance to die a hero and Kingston\u2019s star-making, heroic moment. He said it was a win-win situation for them. He said if the explosives went off, Moxley would be gone and Kingston would be maimed. But if the ring didn\u2019t blow up, they win even bigger because Mox and Kingston \u201clook like a pair of idiots and we walk out with (the World Title).\u201d They bragged about winning.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller\u2019s Analysis: They\u2019re spending way too much time trying to save face on the explosive debacle on Sunday. I get how clever they think they are being by having Callis act like a con man trying to spin this as a win, but it\u2019s just way more TV time than is needed. In fact, I\u2019d have written it off Sunday night and said, \u201cIt didn\u2019t go how we wanted, but we\u2019ll brush ourselves off and move on Wednesday.\u201d Trying force-fix this with bullshit has potential to turn off a lot of AEW viewers who felt they were above this.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Omega said he gets goosebumps thinking about seeing Moxley vaporized in the middle of the ring and never having to see him again. He said it was just as sweet to have the ever-lasting memory of leaving him in the middle of the ring looking like a loser. He said they didn\u2019t account for Kingston, his childhood friend, dry humping him as sparklers shot off. Kingston then walked to the ring.<\/p>\n<h3>[HOUR TWO]<\/h3>\n<p>Callis said he had him in Impact Wrestling working for him because he saw his talent and toughness. He said Kingston, though, always finds a way to screw things up just when things are looking up for him. He said he had a moment in his grasp on Sunday, \u201cand we took it away.\u201d (So they\u2019re now claiming they let the explosives fizzle to take away Kingston\u2019s big moment even though they said they didn\u2019t see his involvement coming.) Callis and the three wrestlers cornered him. They said they were giving him to the count of ten. The ominous countdown clock ticked down from 10 and then Omega fell onto his back and called for Don to \u201c69 me.\u201d Callis jumped on him. There were no explosives. Omega sat up and asked, \u201cDid I blow up? I almost passed out there.\u201d He laughed and asked Kingston what he hopes to accomplish. Omega said Eddie doesn\u2019t break character, making fun of his unflinching expression. Omega said he doesn\u2019t have the guts to punch him. He said the first one is free. Kingston punched him. Omega went down and was out on his face. (That\u2019s a comically ridiculous overreaction considering what he usually absorbs in matches.) Moxley ran out for the save.<\/p>\n<p>Christian\u2019s music played and he walked out onto the stage. He looked around, then slowly walked to the ring. He eyed Omega in the ring. Excalibur asked, \u201cCan you believe Christian Cage and Kenny Omega are on your screen?!\u201d They had a staredown mid-ring and exchanged some heated words. Omega offered a handshake, then went for a punch. Christian ducked and set up an Unprettier. Callis yanked Omega to safety.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller\u2019s Analysis: I\u2019m not surprised, given the hype and build, that they\u2019d push Christian in a program right away with Omega, especially considering the lack of ready options on the babyface side. I\u2019m just not sure enough people see Christian as that big of a deal. I thought Edge was a level short of a mega-big-deal legacy star returning to WWE last year, and Christian is a level below Edge for sure. It\u2019s a good get for AEW, but they\u2019re at risk of overplaying this hand. It\u2019s a bit of a reach that Christian is instantly the guy you want your centerpiece heel World Champion selling for like that. He just was never pushed at that level in WWE, and he wasn\u2019t a needle-mover during his time on top in TNA. The bright side is Christian in the alpha-male role was really good on the mic in TNA. On the downside, he\u2019s also now approaching 50 instead of a guy in his mid-30s prime. It\u2019ll be a real test for both Omega and Christian when they have a singles match. Can Christian rise to the modern style, or can Omega augment what he does to elevate Christian without rounding out the edges of what he usually does in the ring? Omega can\u2019t help himself with the dumb and sometimes off-putting comments, including asking Don to \u201c69 me.\u201d He\u2019s just coming across as kind of a creepy weirdo. That\u2019s not big money. Score points with viewers by delivering money promos rather than tired fourth-wall-breaking insider crap like \u201che never breaks character.\u201d) [c]<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>ARTICLE CONTINUED BELOW&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Check out the latest episode of the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Post-show covering the latest episode of Dynamite: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/episode\/aew-dynamite-rock-solid-episode-incl-mjf-vs-knight-for-aew-title-trios-title-match-thekla-vs-rosa-for-aew-title-more-2-25--70472073\">CLICK HERE<\/a> (or search \u201cwade Keller\u201d on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or any other iOS or Android app to subscribe free)<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"AEW DYNAMITE: Rock solid episode incl.

BRITT BAKER &amp; NYLA ROSE &amp; MAKI ITOH vs. HIKARU SHIDA &amp; THUNDER ROSA &amp; RYO MIZUNAMI<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Itoh did her relentless over-the-top pop star routine during her entrance, singing and dancing even after her music stopped and the wrestlers in the ring began fighting. Excalibur laughed like it was the greatest thing he\u2019s ever seen. Shida charged at her. Itoh \u201cbopped\u201d her on the head with the mic, but she stopped short on them and they just looked awful. Regarding the singing, Schiavone called it surreal and said you can\u2019t deny she\u2019s entertaining. A corner graphic hyped Darby vs. Scorpio Sky for the TNT Title later. They cut to an early split-screen break. [c\/ss]<\/p>\n<p>Back from the break, Rosa leaped off the top rope onto a crowd of wrestlers gathered at ringside. Excalibur noted she \u201ctook out friend and foe alike.\u201d Guerrero held onto Rosa\u2019s boot, and then Itoh landed a spinning DDT for a near fall. Vickie stood on the ring apron to distract the ref as Rebel tried to hit Rosa with a crutch (it was comically cartoonishly inept). Itoh then went after Rosa, but Rosa countered her into her Emerald Flowsion for the win.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: Rosa &amp; Shida &amp; Mizunami in 8:00.<\/p>\n<p>-After the match, Baker attacked Rosa with a crutch. Rebel rubbed the crutch against Rosa\u2019s face. Vickie, Baker, and Rebel gloated. Baker stepped on her and kicked her. Schiavone called her vicious.<\/p>\n<p>-Private Party consoled Matt Hardy at the bar that things will be okay. Hardy said he\u2019s been reflecting a lot the last few days, and they need to bring more money in. Private Party agreed and high-fived. Hardy clarified, \u201cI need to bring more money in.\u201d Hardy said he has more than enough money to sustain their business through April 1, so he\u2019s adding to his empire. He said he signed a new unit. He said he got them a huge money deal with AEW that\u2019s so big they won\u2019t even notice his cut. Butcher, Blade, and Bunny walked in. Private Party seemed apprehensive. Hardy said the four of them are going to destroy four wrestlers on AEW Elevation on Monday, and then they will destroy Dark Order for what they did to him. [c]<\/p>\n<p><strong>(5) DARBY ALLIN vs. SCORPIO SKY \u2013 TNT Title match<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sky made his ring entrance first. Darby came out next, walking out through the tunnel. The heel wrestlers at ringside countered a Darby chant by shouting \u201cSucks!\u201d Darby out-wrestled Sky early, and Sky showed frustration. He shoulder-butted Darby out of his personal space after a break against the ropes. Sky sold a tweaked knee or ankle when he landed on a flip move. He grabbed at it and winced. Sky moved in on him. They cut to a split-screen break. [c\/ss]<\/p>\n<p>Sky methodically dominated during the break. Darby elbowed Sky off of him while he was on the top turnbuckle. He went for a Coffin Drop, but Sky countered into a powerbomb for a near fall. Sky set up a TKO, but Darby countered with a small package for a three count.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Darby in 14:00 to retain the TNT Title.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller\u2019s Analysis: Why no promo from Sky at some point in the show to set the stage for this match and how viewers should feel about his attempt to win the TNT Title? It\u2019s not like he\u2019s been a prominent figure on Dynamite in recent months and he did just revealed a new personality last week in his return to TV after time away. The match was fine. Not particularly memorable, but just fine, and it was nice to see Darby in a regular semi-lengthy straight-up match.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Darby respectfully consoled Sky afterward. When he turned his back, Sky attacked him and put him in a heel hook. Four referees tried to pry Sky off of Darby, who was yelling in pain. Sky finally released the hold and looked at his hands as if he wasn\u2019t sure what overtook him.But then he smiled and licked his lips, as if he liked that side of himself coming out.<\/p>\n<p>-They went to the announcers on commentary who said that post-match attack ruined an otherwise good match. They announced next week\u2019s matches, billed as \u201cSt. Valentine\u2019s Day Slam.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Good Brothers (Anderson &amp; Gallows) vs. Moxley &amp; Kingston<\/li>\n<li>Cody vs. Penta El Zero Miedo<\/li>\n<li>Jurassic Express &amp;\u00a0 Bear Country vs. Butcher &amp; Blade &amp; Private Party<\/li>\n<li>Jade Cargill in action<\/li>\n<li>Britt Baker vs. Thunder Rosa in the main event for the Women\u2019s Title<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>-Ross hyped that next would be the Inner Circle War Council.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller\u2019s Analysis: They didn\u2019t hype this at all until now, and that seems like a strange choice or a bad oversight.) [c]<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Inner Circle made their ring entrance with 13 minutes left in the show. Schiavone said Sky walked to the ring out of the right tunnel but left out of the left tunnel. Still no Sammy Guevara. It was Chris Jericho, MJF, Jake Hager, Santana, and Ortiz. They cut to fans \u2013 some without masks covering their faces \u2013 singing the lyrics of Jericho\u2019s theme song. Jericho said when any great army needs to change its course in the middle of battle, they have a war council to decide how to continue on. He said they\u2019ve gone off course lately, but it\u2019s easily remedied. He said they are the smartest in the business. He said it\u2019s time for a new attitude and outlook and maybe even a new member. MJF said with all due respect, he doesn\u2019t think they need to add a new member. He said instead it might be time to let someone go. Sammy Guevara\u2019s music then played and he walked out. Lots of gum chomping going on with him.<\/p>\n<p>Jericho said, \u201cLook who\u2019s here. You remember his name, right?\u201d He asked what he\u2019s doing. Guevara told Jericho he knows he\u2019s not happy with him and he\u2019s the last person he wants to see, but he wants to show him something. Jericho said he\u2019s dead to him. Sammy entered the ring and said after all they\u2019ve been through, he needs to show him something. They cut to a video of Sammy setting up a hidden camera which filmed MJF entering the room later and talking to Hager, Santana, and Ortiz. He said tonight they cut the head off the leader. He said they\u2019re going to give Jericho \u201ca nice little dirt nap.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Back in the ring, MJF said he didn\u2019t want Jericho to figure it out this way, but \u201cget \u2018im!\u201d Sammy and Jericho squared off against Santana, Ortiz, and Hager. However, they all turned against MJF. MJF suddenly got nervous and told everyone to hang on. Jericho called him a stupid son of a bitch. \u201cYou really think we don\u2019t talk to each other every single day?\u201d he said. He said they were waiting for him to hang himself. He said he brought him into the Inner Circle, so he\u2019s the one who\u2019s going to knock him out of it. He shoved him down. He said, \u201cYour ass his fired!\u201d He said they\u2019re going to give him a little old school Inner Circle beatdown.<\/p>\n<p>MJF cowered in the corner and swore he didn\u2019t want to take over Inner Circle. He then took on a sinister tone and said he was \u201ctoo busy building my own.\u201d The lights went dark. And when the lights came back on, inside the ring stood Tully Blanchard, FTR, Shawn Spears, and Wardlow. They all began fighting. Tully watched as Spears kicked Sammy\u2019s face into a chair wedged in the corner. Dax smashed a bottle over Hager\u2019s head. Schiavone said MJF is a turd, but he\u2019s also as shrewd and calculating as they come. Wardlow took out Jericho. MJF sat on the top turnbuckle and watched as the beating played out. Ross said some day they\u2019ll be saying Wardlow\u2019s name first. MJF hit Jericho with his diamond ring. They showed Jericho bleeding from the forehead. He reached for the bat, but MJF stood on the bat. Tully then handed MJF the bat. He jabbed Jericho with it, sending him out of the ring. They dragged Jericho to the stage. Wardlow then powerbombed Jericho onto some tables below the stage.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller\u2019s Analysis: So MJF knew Jericho knew all along? I stand by my stance that the lights out gimmick is overused. What if they had never used it until this moment, though? The new heel group feels a bit like AEW\u2019s spin on the Four Horsemen, with MJF as the Ric Flair-level leader, FTR as the Tully &amp; Arn team, Wardlow as the brute force member a la Ole Anderson or Lex Luger, and Tully in the J.J. Dillon managerial role. And then there\u2019s Shawn Spears, who\u2019s the Paul Roma tribute member, perhaps? I liked his darker demeanor in this segment, though.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>FINAL THOUGHTS:<\/strong> A good but flawed reset show after the PPV. A lot to digest. Ultimately the show would have better if they didn\u2019t try to b.s. and spin their way out of the fizzle at the end of Sunday\u2019s PPV. The double-swerve break-up of Inner Circle officially positions Jericho and Guevara as babyfaces now. Santana &amp; Ortiz, too, of course. They also set up or intensified: Cody-Penta, Omega-Christian, Mox &amp; Kingston-Good Brothers, Inner Circle-MJF\u2019s new group, Baker-Rosa, Darby-Sky, and Bucks-Pac &amp; Fenix.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Wade Keller Post-show (3\/4) - AEW Dynamite w\/Keller &amp; Kuester\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7nzvkRvDG0A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-901225694\"><div id=\"pwtor-1125944213\"><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>The following report originally published 5 years ago this week here at PWTorch.com\u2026 AEW DYNAMITE TV REPORT MARCH 10, 2021 JACKSONVILLE, FLA.
