Tonight is the first Dynamite after a Revolution PPV that… well, I actually found it a bit underwhelming. Hangman Page is no longer allowed to challenge for the AEW Men’s World Championship, which is… a choice. Meanwhile, there were also four returns and two new signings, which bode well for AEW going forward, but really kind of underlined how little else was going on that night outside of the main event. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned about AEW, it’s that they don’t stay down for long, so come inside, and see what’s on offer!
