We are about three weeks away from WrestleDream and things are heating up. This Dynamite didn't disappoint, and we've got a lot to unpack. So, let's get into it!
-Chris Jericho vs. Orange Cassidy
I wasn't expecting this one to open the show.. but here we are. I think everyone knows how I feel about the whole "Learning Tree" situation.. but this match wasn't awful. Over done... sure. I think are slowly seeing the downfall of the learning tree faction, with Big Bill and Jericho having a feud within the next few weeks. I assume they will have a match by Full Gear. Regardless, the match went on and honestly.. I thought Jericho was going to steal this one. With a roll of quarters, Orange took the win. Now can we be done? Please and thank you.
-Hook had a match with a local, and of course it was a squash. I hate those matches, and I really don't care who is doing it.. at least making it seem believable. This was also pushing Roddy and Hook which will face each other next week at Grand Slam.
-Aminata and Sakazaki vs. Deeb and May
If we can just get more Queen Aminata that would be wonderful, because I love her. This match was pretty good, these four are wonderful to be honest and I would love to see more.. of course May being the champ... we see her a good bit. I also wonder who will be her next feud. The match took a turn when May caused a disqualification, and beat Yuka with the title belt.
-We saw Yuta talk backstage. You could still tell he was in a strange head space and not himself. It seems he will be in the match defending the trios title next week at Grand Slam. Is Yuta going to turn too? Hmm.. So many questions.
Jon Moxley, Marina Shafir and Claudio Castagnoli were coming through the crowd when Private Party decided to attack them. In the end of that beat down (now reversed)... Mox crushed Zay's hand with a hammer as the crowd was chanting "you sick f***".. it wasn't long before Darby arrived to have a face off with Mox and the BCC.
-The Beast Mortos vs. Ricochet
This match threw me for a loop. I wasn't expecting it to be this good, but here we are. I have been loving the fact that Mortos has been used more and more like a regular, and I hope it stays that way moving forward. In the end, these two work very well together within their styles. It made for one hell of a match. But in the end, we saw Ricochet picked up the win.
Ricochet confirmed he will face Ospreay for the international title on October 2nd.. which of course pissed some people off. What does it matter? The man won all his matches thus far, it isn't that serious. I've seen the post of how ridiculous it is for Ricochet to get a title shot so soon... Mone did it? AND WON.. but that wasn't a problem?? Hmm.. mmkay.
- The Elite vs. Ospreay, Takeshita and Fletcher
I thought this match was wonderful! Things are getting a little tense between Ospreay/Fletcher and Takeshita... do we see a complete breakdown of this group moving forward? In the last few weeks, it sure has been teased. Overall, the match was pretty good and I enjoyed it. This leads be to believe next week at Grand Slam will be pretty interesting. Could we see NEW champs? That.. I would love. Could we also see Mark Davis come back and there will be a trios match? Again.. I would LOVE. In the end, we saw some false finishes (which had me on the edge of my seat) but it was Fletcher that got the win over Nick.
-BEFORE THE MAIN EVENT: Hangman had an interview with Tony Schiavone, and he was almost attacked... however it was Jeff Jarrett that made the save. I've seen a lot of people talk about how this just wasn't it and how could Hangman feud with Jeff after the whole Swerve situation. This takes it back before hand in the Owen Cup.. some people are forgetting that. I like it, personally. Both men are wonderful and this feud is going to be something else.
Overall: 8.7/10

UP NEXT: Friday Night Smackdown
NEXT WEEK: Grand Slam in NY!
-Where is Mone? And Britt? Hmm...
-Is the Orange and Jericho going to keep going? Please.. no.
-Who will May face next? Mina? Please... yes.
-Will Bryan be able to face Nigel?
So much going on! It's going to be good!
until next time
xoxo,
Chels
