Summer Slam has come and gone.. and BOY... did we have one hell of a time. We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it! Night 1: -Roman Reigns and Jey Uso vs. Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed This kicking off was pretty good in my opinion. While I do think the match wasn't one to blow your mind... it was still pretty dang good overall. In the end, we did see Roman and Jey pick up the win. This isn't what I thought would happen, but it is understandable moving forward (esp after watching Monday Night Raw). -Judgment Day (c) vs. Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair -Women's Tag Titles This match was pretty solid over all. All women did wonderful together and I enjoyed it! I feel like this match had so much on it in the first place, and there were so many people getting their hopes up for a Liv pop up. Sadly, that did not happen. We however.. did see Alexa and Charlotte pick up the win to win the tag titles! I am so happy for both women and hope they do this story ri...
I don't know about y'all, but I LOVED this weeks Dynamite! It was so good and we are ALMOST to Full Gear which is NEXT Saturday! I am pumped and I feel like this PPV is going to be a huge one. We've got a lot to unpack so let's get into it!
-Jay White and Juice Robinson vs. Adam Page and Christian Cage
This was a match I didn't know that I needed, to be honest. I loved everything about it! It was very upbeat and was very fun. We did see Nick get involved which resulted in Hook coming out to take him out. Shayna also got involved for a distraction which resulted in Hangman getting the upper hand.. resulting in a win for Hangman and Cage.
-Lance Archer vs. Roderick Strong
This match was bonkers! And I loved every single second of it! There was a few segments before this match but we will get to that in just a second. Also note.. this was a falls count anywhere match, which made it even more insane. In the end, we saw Strong pick up the win and will now face MJF at Full Gear next week. While some people wanted Adam Cole to face him first, I can understand the wait.
**Mercedes Mone was backstage doing an interview while Kris made herself known. She ended up taking out Kamille and put Mone through the backstage wall. Completely unpopular opinion, but can we please just have Kris take the win next week? I love Mone and all... but this run just isn't it. It's fallen very flat and it's not enjoyable.
**In the ring we saw Tony Schiavone interview Will Ospreay. He took no time calling out Fletcher. Words were exchanged between the two (which was really good by the way) and it led to Fletcher challenging Will to a match at Full Gear. It was accepted and all hell broke loose. Archer and Brian Cage arrived to back Fletcher and Will Hobbs and Mark Davis arrived to back Ospreay. There was a massive brawl which started the match between Archer and Strong.
-Konosuke Takeshita vs. Adam Cole
In another bleed over, Takeshita attacked Strong before Adam Cole came out for the match. Pretty much all hell broke loose once again. I really liked this match overall, and you could feel the importance of the result of this match.. however you have a champion and someone who just came back. You could kind of see what the result would be, it was just how. In the end, Takeshita pulled out MJF's diamond ring.. and used it on Adam Cole to get the win.
-Britt Baker vs. Penelope Ford
I wanted to love this, and I did... however I am just a little conflicted with the booking. I love Britt but I also really love Penelope. This is week TWO she has lost and I just don't see why it's needed. Give this woman a win, give her a push. Instead you have two championships that are being held that aren't really doing shit. Mone was GIVEN her championship after just a month or two. And May's run hasn't exactly lived up to the hype.. and I love Mariah. Anyway, these two women did have a bit of chemistry.. which was good for the most part. But in the end, Britt was able to lock in the lockjaw for the win.
**Before the match: We saw Death Riders beating up JD Drake for no reason what so ever. Mox ended up giving a promo about Orange and the power Moxley had. Mark Briscoe/Rocky and OC did come out as well to exchange words.. and challenged Yuta to a match next week. This might be pretty good leading up to Full Gear. Mox and company did try to leave after that and Darby.. went nuts to attack all of them resulting in a brawl until The Death Riders were able to get away in the truck.
-Lio Rush vs. Swerve Strickland
Let me be very honest for a moment, I wasn't hype for this match at all leading up to Dynamite. I thought this was pretty much going to be a "throw away" match. BOYYYYY.. was I wrong. This match was pretty damn good and I thought both worked very well together. Very solid from start to finish. At the end, we did see Swerve pick up the win, clean. After the match Swerve called out Bobby.. and liked clock work, MVP and Bobby showed up to exchange words. Shelton Benjamin did attack Swerve from behind and was taken out once again.
*WHAT COULD HAPPEN: They've already planted it, and I really hope this DOES NOT happen. My thoughts are that most likely.. Bobby will win this match.. Do we really think he wouldn't win his first match in AEW?? But what if Swerve turns on Prince Nana in a SHOCKING turn of events. They've planted it before hand at the start of this feud. I would be so upset to be honest.
-FTR vs. House of Black
This was one solid match. This was also a match where you really couldn't predict who would win overall. I personally wanted House of Black to win, because if we are being honest.. they haven't exactly had a great win in a bit. They've lost their last few matches and it was just about time to be honest. After one hell of a bout, The House of Black got the win and will now move on Full Gear! Heck yes!
Things are heating up!
Overall: 9.6/10
