In the same way that I love two year olds, but I\u2019m beyond ready for them to go back to daycare, I enjoy the ways that AEW has tried to keep Dynamite fresh, but I\u2019m ready to watch wrestling with an audience again.<\/p>\n<p>On this week&#8217;s episode of \u201cRoad to TNT Championship,\u201d Dustin Rhodes promised to retire if he doesn\u2019t defeat Kip Sabian in tonight\u2019s quarterfinal matchup. I\u2019m happy they are trying to add stakes to a low level match like this, but I hate this particular stipulation. Dustin Rhodes\u2019s retirement match isn\u2019t going to happen in an empty arena, so either this completely spoils that Dustin is going over (accomplishing the opposite of adding stakes and drama) or he loses and we get a classic wrestling backpedal of some kind that makes me roll my eyes.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cI received a call from my brother\u2026\u2026\u201d<br \/>The <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AmericanNightmare?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AmericanNightmare<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CodyRhodes?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@CodyRhodes<\/a> gives his thoughts on the possibility of <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TheNatural?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TheNatural<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/dustinrhodes?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@dustinrhodes<\/a> retiring during, in what many are saying, a resurgence in his career.<\/p>\n<p>Watch <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AEWDynamite?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AEWDynamite<\/a> every Wednesday night on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tntdrama?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@TNTDrama<\/a> 8e\/7c. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/A9eq2VvV5z\">pic.twitter.com\/A9eq2VvV5z<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; All Elite Wrestling (@AEW) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AEW\/status\/1252643260180205573?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 21, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The other big matchup tonight is Sammy Guevara vs. Darby Allin, two future superstars (in a real way, not the way WWE uses the word) and two guys who can absolutely GO. Darby came out of their match at Revolution with the pin and I expect that he\u2019ll do the same here, setting up a semifinal match against Cody. Both he and Cody are babyfaces, but there were signs of frustration and conflict during and after their tag match a few weeks back that could be fleshed out a bit.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH UP&#8230;<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2020\/04\/15\/4-15-aew-dynamite-tv-report-kellers-report-on-moxley-defending-against-hager-sabian-vs-taylor-cabana-vs-lance-archer\/\">4\/15 AEW DYNAMITE TV REPORT: Keller\u2019s report on Moxley defending against Hager, Sabian vs. Taylor, Cabana vs. Lance Archer<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3864640956\"><div id=\"pwtor-887255804\"><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>AEW DYNAMITE PRIMER APRIL 15, 2020 AIRS ON TNT, 8:00 PM EST BY JOSHUA CHAMBERS (@josh_chambers), PWTORCH CONTRIBUTOR Road to TNT Championship This week\u2019s &#8220;Road to&#8230;&#8221; featured a voicemail from Dustin Rhodes, QT Marshall and <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2020\/04\/22\/4-22-aew-dynamite-primer-big-stipulation-added-to-dustin-rhodes-vs-kip-sabian-tournament-match-plus-darby-vs-sammy-in-battle-of-two-rising-superstars-plus-kenny-brodie-wardlow-in-action\/\" title=\"4\/22 AEW DYNAMITE PRIMER: Big stipulation added to Dustin Rhodes vs. Kip Sabian tournament match, plus Darby vs. Sammy in battle of two rising superstars, plus Kenny, Brodie, Wardlow in action\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":96462,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6431,6163,2,52,27,5893],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-96458","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aew-dynamite-primer","category-aew-news","category-prowrestlingnews","category-opnionandanalysis","category-specialists","category-tvprimers"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2020\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-04-22-at-2.50.14-PM.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96458","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=96458"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96458\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":96463,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96458\/revisions\/96463"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/96462"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=96458"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=96458"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=96458"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
