I think Vaquer being WWE bound has as much to do with Cuatrero’s defenders being prominent on AEW TV and that she probably doesn’t want to be in that environment. She won’t be in NXT for long. Absolute boss.

A banana peel finish, certainly a choice.

I can’t remember a time a heel got beaten for his title, was given time off, and then comes back as maybe even a bigger babyface than as a heel. Heyman assembling the Bloodline Avengers is gonna be incredible. And yes. Sami as the obvious fourth is going to make it one of the great moments ever. It’s so funny that people talked about this running its course a while back, but they are revving it up in an absolutely HUGE way right now.

Let’s see if there’s another alarming TV rating that comes out of the go-home show, shall we?

Let’s start another streak, eh, boys?

So Roman back as a babyface and getting the Usos back together, but they need a fourth. Gonna be an amazing Survivor Series. My boy Fatu officially has the rocket strapped to him. Couldn’t be happier for that guy.

Okada going all llaves against UG is gonna be fun.

Shingo and Bryan gonna bang, too. Interesting that they set up MJF/Ospreay for something down the line when supposedly you’d think MJF would try and finish off Cole once and for all. There’s some weirdness here, which is what you want out of the card. It’s just so much of it is a Cliff’s Notes-ass way to get there.

Takeshita in the tourney has interesting political implications given he’s been vocal about his perceived misuse in AEW and this could be considered a bit of a tryout for a contract when his time is up in the US. Jake Lee has a chance to really show out too. But I think this has Umino/Tsuji written all over it for the final.

This wouldn’t happen if apostrophes didn’t exist.

Gonna be funny to see Drew get owned again by Punk so soon, but at least we’ll have him tweeting through it.

Yeah, it looked improvised because he was trying to go into his power bomb. Impressive stuff.

Six months ago, he was threatening the baby of a top babyface, and now he’s dancing with old folks in the front row. What a turnaround.

“That’s former NXT Champion Nic Nemeth!” Gonna be hilarious.

I missed the Owen Cup thing, but yeah, this seems like booking yourself into a corner. Okada doesn’t really hit as hard given they seem to be setting up another Kenny match.

I think Swerve wins dipping into the dark side a bit given how big a threat Ospreay is, which sets up the return at Wembley.

Say what you will about DoN but a dude literally got lit on fire and it basically worked, pretty insane. Have to say tonight’s Dynamite lineup isn’t…well…lighting me…on fire. Good night, everyone!

A show that has weeble wobbled its way to a decent build. I know there will be good payoffs in the matches, but the cohesion of the entire company right now leaves a lot to be desired.

“You’re Darby Fuckin’ Allin. And don’t you forget it.” Missed Darby in the Fourteen Fists of McCluskey but man, dude can wield a flamethrower.

Someone hasn’t read the DVDVR Sleaze Thread.

I didn’t think Copeland/O’Reilly was gonna be that great but they surprised all my expectations. Great stuff.

Yeah, there’s a ton on there that has my attention.

Because Mal isn’t one for doing jobs and is waiting for that contract to run out before another run in Stamford?

Seriously, though, they sure seem rudderless as all hell after that angle.

I have issues with surveys like that because people are gonna see that as revelatory but there’s too much inherent bias in how the survey was done that it doesn’t really help anything.
