[9.0] "Dynamite beginnt mit einer In-Ring Promo von CM Punk, und die war wenig überraschend sehr stark. Mox hat dazu natürlich auch was zu sagen und macht das ebenfalls extrem gut. großartiger Start in die Show. Das kurze Interview mit Hobbs war in Ordnung. Danielson und Garcia zeigen dann ein absolut fantastisches Match, das sogar ihr letztes Match in den Schatten stellt. Dieser Kampf war auf allen Ebenen großartig. Natürlich gewinnt am Ende Danielson, aber Garcia hat extrem viel aus beiden Matches gewonnen. Das Aftermath war interessant, weil es erste Risse zwischen Jericho und Garcia zu geben scheint. Dann gibt es ein Backstage Segment mit Private Party und Swerve/Lee. Die Jericho Backstage Promo war dann ganz gut und adressiert die Sache mit Garcia, Steamboat darf auch etwas sagen. Der Gunn Club dürfen dann die Varsity Blondes beerdigen, kann man so machen. Interessanter war der Turn der Guns gegen Billy Gunn und dem Safe durch the Acclaimed, hat mir gefallen. Dann gibt's ne Videopromo von Dutt, Lethal und Singh, ging in Ordnung, die Fehde mit Wardlow und FTR ist aber nur mäßig interessant. Die Promo von PAC hat mir dann gefallen. Die In-Ring Promo von Jungle Boy zeigt ein weiteres Mal, das er immer noch starke Defizite am Mikro hat. Cage rettet dann das Segment. Die Backstage Promo von FTR und Wardlow war dann auch okay, macht die Storyline aber nicht wirklich besser. Storm vs. King war dann solide, vor allem King zeigt sich im RIng überraschen verbessert. Das Hypevideo für die Trustbusters vs. Best Friends war dann in Ordnung und macht zumindes im Ansatz Lust auf das Match bei Rampage. Der Main Event war dann richtig stark und wäre vermutlich bei den meisten Shows MotN. La Faccion Ingobernable gefällt mir richtig gut, das diese verloren haben, ärgert mich, macht aber Sinn. Insgesamt macht das eine extrem starke Show an der es nicht wirklich was zu meckern gibt."

[8.0] "Gute Ausgabe von Dynamite, die gar nicht so viele Dinge enthielt, dadurch aber nicht so überfrachtet wirkte. Was geschah, hatte dadurch mehr Wirkung. Die Promos von CM Punk und Jon Moxley waren gut, hätten aber vielleicht noch etwas mehr in die Tiefe gehen können. Für ein Title Unification Match, das mit einer Woche Vorlauf beworben wird, hat es aber wohl ausgereicht. Garcia-Danielson war gut und die sich anbahnende Story zwischen Garcia und Jericho sorgt für Interesse am Segment nächste Woche. Das Match und der Angle vom Gunn Club haben bei mir nicht allzu viel ausgelöst und auch das Match von Toni Storm gegen KiLynn King war nicht viel mehr als ein Aufbau-Match für Storm vor ihrem Title Match gegen Thunder Rosa. Das Comeback von Kenny Omega im Main Event hatte man natürlich sehr deutlich bei BTE angedeutet. Alles andere als Kenny wäre eine Enttäuschung gewesen. Der Moment, als Justin Roberts die lange Ring Introduction beginnt, hatte auch was. Ich konnte aber nicht umhin, zu bemerken, dass die Fans als Kenny im Ring stand, dann wieder etwas zurückhaltender waren. Eine Explosion wie bei Punks Comeback oder Shibatas Entrance Musik bei Forbidden Door war es diesmal nicht gerade. Das Match war dann, was es war. Ein sehr gutes, athletisches Match mit vielen Spots. Ich sage jetzt einfach mal, dass es ein gutes Match war, obwohl es nicht so in meinen Interessensbereich fällt, Matches dieser Art zu sehen, wo alle gleichzeitig im Ring sind und ihre hübsch geprobten Moves aneinanderreihen. Es hatte dennoch eine gewisse Intensität. Ein paar Timing Problemchen gab es am Ende, als der Turn von Rush und Andrade gegen Dragon Lee fast nicht mehr in die Sendezeit passt und sehr hektisch ausgeführt wird. Generell war es mir nach dem Turn der Gunns gegen Billy vielleicht auch ein Turn zu viel. Alles in allem eine sehr kurzweilige Show, bei der man alle Dinge gut im Kopf behalten kann und außerdem zwei gute Matches und ein starkes Promo-Segment zu sehen kriegt."

[7.0] "Punk as always great on the mic; elevates the show. Danielson match was fantastic and really elevated Garcia. Varsity Blondes match a total waste of time. I tuned out before the trios match. Worth the watch (first hour anyway)."

[9.0] "Nice exchanges with Punk and Mox to open the show. This is definitely one of best rivalries during this time of convulsive changes of the wrestling industry; Best Two Out Of Three Falls Match: Genial. Outstanding showing from these superstars. Perfect storytelling. Definitely one of the best matches of the year. Neither of these resulted losser, but in fact, they result looking pretty strong. [*****]; Well, even if Mox/Punk beat down was interesting, it was totally innecessary to treat Nese as a pure jobber and a trash wrestler. He surely is not on the top positions of the company, but he doesnt deserves that. Lets hope that this match could be a nice battle; on the other hand, seeing this tension between Jericho and Garcia is awesome, this purely puts some more emotion to the rivalry between these two great factions; The Varsity Blonds VS Austin Gunn & Colten Gunn: Mmm, ok. Nothing to say here. These Gunn guys are not really good wrestlers, what a deception to push them instead of the Varsity Blonds. Their attack to Billy Gunn was nice, since this means that he is now engaging with Caster and Bowens. Only this deserves a nice change; More of this battle between Jungle boy and Cage please; Toni Storm VS KiLynn King: Okey match. Nothing really impressive here. Pretty slow, and that doesnt let you get any emotion around the battle. It was adequate I suppose. [**]; AEW World Trios Title Tournament First Round Match: The return of the One Winged Angel, its fabulous to see him here again. As expected, great match with a lot of tricks, moves and an amazing aura around the return of Kenny. This is why I really love The Elite, The the Elite. The expulsion of Dragon Lee indeed was a surprise, hopefully Tony will have any some better material for him. Good match. [****1/2]; Good show, with some amazing matches, and some others that didnt deserve to be here. Anyway, I really enjoyed this, one of the shows of the year. Really nice. [****1/4]"

[8.0] "Die ersten 40 Minuten kannst Du nicht besser machen. Zuerst die Promo von Punk, dann hypt er mit Moxley noch das Match. Anschließend legen Danielson und Garcia ne Schlacht hin. Bis dahin sind es 11 Punkte! Der Rest ist dann auch noch unterhaltsam bis gut - wird aber nicht mehr so gut wie der Anfang. Auch der Main Event nicht!"

[6.0] "Everything between Mox and Punk was surprisingly great. The opener match was a match that unfortunately had zero appeal to me. Billy Gunn reuniting with The Acclaimed was fun, but the execution was wonky, they should have made the Gunn Club heel turn a bit more emotional. Jungle Boy is embarassing on the mic but Christian carried the segment hard. The women's match was dogshit, the division is dead. Main event was entertaining, glad to have Omega back."

[10.0] "A crazy amount of incredible segments. Dynamites being back to starting with CM Punks music hitting? Nature is healing. I loved the call back later in the show to Punks and Mox's first promo, we need way more storylines reocurring during one show. Danielson vs Garcia with a MOTY candidate and everything following it was also just awesome. I am so happy to see Kenny back. I don't even know what to say anymore, an absolute banger of a Dynamite."

[7.0] "Wow, ganz schön viel passiert hier bis zum ersten Match des Tages. CM Punk eröffnet die Show und die Fehde mit Mox wird aufgebaut. Gutes Segment, kann man absolut keine Kritik bei ausüben. Der Brawl im Anschluss der beiden Männer fühlt sich Real an und gibt der Fehde noch etwas mehr Feuer. Danach kommen noch ein Paar Interview Segmente, bis sich Chris Jericho zum Ring Begibt und somit das Erste Match des Abends beginnt. Daniel Garcia vs. Bryan Danielson, entwickelt sich immer mehr zu einem Geschichtsträchtigem "Match Up". Es ist eine Fantastische Leistung die Danielson aus Garcia Rausholen kann und es ist für mich definitiv eine Gute Idee, Garcia unter Danielson Hände zu legen. Ein sehr Gutes Match (****1/2). Danach kommen wiedermal viel zu viele Segmente und Interview um alles kompensieren zu können. The Gunn Club Squasht die Varsity Blonds komplett weg und begräbt dieses Team endgültig. Danach kommt Stokely Hathaway zum Ring und die Gunn Brüder Turnen gegen ihren Vater, was dazu führt das The Acclaimed den Save für Billy Gunn machen. Somit ist Billy Gunn nun der Manager von Max Caster und Anthony Bowens. Brauche ich persönlich überhaupt nicht, aber nun gut. Toni Storm vs. Kilynn King war schlecht. Braucht man sich nicht anzugucken. Main Event war dann ein Gutes Match und das Comeback von Kenny Omega bereitet einem dann schon Gänsehaut (****1/4). Insgesamt ist mir das hier etwas zu überbewertet. Auch das man so krass die neue Serie "House Of The Dragon" Promoten muss finde ich "etwas kritisch". Natürlich bringt das aber AEW enorm viel Geld ein (Als wenn sie nicht schon genug Kohle hätten). 7 Punkte sind hier finde ich sogar schon Wirklich Gnädig. Denn außer 2 Wirklich guten Matches, hatte man hier nicht wirklich viel gutes zu Gesicht bekommen."

[7.0] "Apart from the opener and some parts of the main event, this whole episode was hot and cold for me. Punk going into business for himself on the mic and trashing hangman was ridiculous, but the promo between them and the brawls was good stuff"

[6.0] "Kind of a weird episode. This had a lot of potential in some places and was Dark material in others. I liked that the Punk and Moxley stuff continued even if the brawl maybe went a little long. I've always thought that episodes which thread a main story throughout work well and it's something AEW doesn't do enough of. Danielson vs Garcia was fairly good and the main event was probably exactly what you'd expect, for better or worse. Storm vs King didn't need to be there, and all of the teams involved in the tag match segment are a midcard black hole to me. I just see catchphrases, memes, and bland wrestling. I'd put it somewhere between a '6' and a '7'. A case of AEW shooting themselves in the foot with an uninteresting midcard after a hot start."

[10.0] "10/10! Beste dynamite in 2022. Punk und Moxley, bockstark, besonders wie sich das durch die show zog, 2 Weltklasse Matches, 1 solides und ein squash der aber die Gunn Story voran bringt. Zusätzlich zum starken Opener noch die story mit Garcia und Jericho, woraus danielson vs Jericho kommt. Für mich war alles hier Storymäßig und Matchmäßig Weltklasse, 10/10. Für mich das beste Beispiel für eine perfekte Weekly!"

[6.0] "As usual, a highly rated Dynamite is just 'alright' at best. Punk and Moxley's opening promo battle was great -- one of AEW's best. They both had good lines to 'burn' each other with, leading to Moxley looking like a pretty badass, no-nonsense babyface while Punk looked pretty arrogant, self-absorbed, and all-around heelish, leading to a nice fiery brawl. I didn't like their match being rushed to the very next week. Tony getting desperate for better ratings, maybe? Danielson vs Garcia was better than their previous match but still nothing remotely special. It's still impossible for me to take Garcia seriously with his 'badass shooter' character when everything about his character, offence, and look screams 'forced' and 'unnatural'. Danielson showed much more convincing offence and 'badass' character work to salvage the match, but even he didn't do anything actually special or exciting here, instead just doing a lot of acceptably good work while carrying Garcia's deadweight. ***1/4. I don't remotely care about Garcia potentially joining BCC. I'll actually like BCC less if that happens. Moxley interrupting Nese's match and jumping him in order to ideally continue his public fight with Punk was quite cool, and it made sense if we were to take both men's earlier displayed hatred for each other as seriously as they intended. Austin & Colten vs Pillman & Garrison was a worthless squash, but it at least led to the surprising angle of Austin and Colten attacking Billy before being run off by The Acclaimed, making for a fun reuniting of The Acclaimed with Billy. An odd but still engaging classic pro-wrestling story there. Jungle Boy's promo was pretty lifeless and generic despite his recent push as a newly fiery and vengeful babyface. Christian's responding promo was good for how slimy it was, and he didn't rely on *that much* cheap heat this time! Not sure what the point was of Jungle Boy beating Christian down right then and there instead of waiting until the PPV though... Toni vs KiLynn wasn't too bad but wasn't anything worthwhile either. I didn't like Toni being dominated by a total nobody for so long, but at least KiLynn didn't look outright bad, and Toni's offence in her comeback looked decent. **1/4. Omega's return was appropriately hyped up with that great and extensive introduction from announcer Roberts, and The Elite vs LFI match itself was pretty good. Everyone was on point, as the Bucks did their usual decent acrobatics, LFI did well with their flashy and aggressive attacks plus their heelish control work, and Omega did well telling the story of not being fully match-fit after his long injury layoff, though he still impressed when it came to his signature offence. Lots of somewhat mindless but still fun multi-man spots. ***1/4 - ***1/2"

[9.0] "Starke Dynamite Ausgabe die vom Opener und Main Event lebte. Das MOTN war recht schwer, aber ich habe mich doch für den Opener entschieden. Danielson und Garcia liefern sich hier ein Meisterstück an Match. Man spielt mit dem voherigen Matches und erzählt im Match eine tolle Geschichte. Das war wirklich Wrestling vom Allerbesten. Garcia wird in ein paar Jahren der perfekte Nachfolger des American Dragon sein. Die Geschichte die mit Jericho erzählt wurde war auch sehr gut. Alles fantastisch. Der Gun Club macht kurzen Prozeß mit den Blonds. Finde ich schade. Zur Story passt es natürlich gut. Insgesamt ganz ok. Storm gegen King war ein ordentliches Match der 2. Man merkt KiLynn auf jeden Fall an das sie die Indyzeit gut genutzt hat und doch einiges dazu gelernt hat. Storm wirkt sehr gut und das Match gegen Rosa wäre bestimmt gut geworden. Der Main Event hat die Rückkehr von Omega. Großer Pop und tolles Comeback. Auch hier im Match spielt man ncoh mit den Verletzungen die Kenny hatte. Die Facion sind da auch die passenenden Gegner da Andrade und Rush es ja immer recht stiff aussehen lassen. Move des Abends sicherlich der Flug von Dragon Lee auf Omega. Die Elite kann sich natürlich immer wieder reinkämpfen und schließlich ist es Omega der den Sack zumacht. So kommt es dann im Halbfinale zum Showdown mit dem Empire. Die Attacke von Andrade auf Lee kam auch ncoh überraschend. Würde mich aber freuen Lee trotzdem noch öfter zu sehen bei AEW. Insgesamt eine fantastische Show."

[9.0] "Such an incredible show. Everything was good from start to the End. Punk promo, Garcia vs Danielson, big return of Kenny, Best Dynamite from couple of months."

[5.0] "Schönes Ding, dass sich Punk eigentlich erst Page widmen möchte, ehe er Moxley am Mikro zerstört. Moxley kontert mit einer Promo, die dem Verziehen des Gesichts glich, bekannt aus unterlegenen Positionen in Wortgefechten aus dem Schulhof. Zu allem Überfluss wirkt Brawler Moxley im Brawl dann sehr soft mit seiner Körpersprache, seinen Fake Punches etc., aber Punk holt hier spielerisch die Punkte nach Hause, daher nichtsdestotrotz eine gute Eröffnung. Hobbs mit der Factory-Verbindung geht na mir vorbei, da man weiterhin unmöglich wollen kann, dass der Grund für Starks Face-Turn auch in die Richtung geschoben wird gegen die Go Away-Heat-Jungs der Factory. Der Opener hat es dann direkt in sich und liefert gutes Wrestling mit viel Showcase für Garcia und teils großer Klasse von Danielson. Ein paar Lücken verhindern aber eine Note aus dem obersten Regal. Dass Garcia dann wohl bald im BCC auftaucht, ist schon eine wichtige Korrektur der absurden Entscheidung, ihn zum JAS zu schicken. Völlig am Thema vorbei von Tag 1. Die ganzen kleinen Segmente sind im Schnitt kaum 1:20 lang und bringen daher wieder einen ordentlichen Clip-Show-Vibe. Wardlow & FTR und auch Death Triangle können sich da etwas von der Masse absetzen, der Rest ist eher egal und baut oft auch einfach nichts auf. Die What-Rufe für Jungle Boy waren leider etwas nachvollziehbar und seine Reaktion leider noch den Eindruck verstärkend. Der anschließende Part mit Christian war überwiegend okay. Storm und King mit passabler Action, ehe auch das Main Event dank der üblichen Spotfest-Lücken nicht über die Note hinauskommt. Ganz lässiges Comeback von Kenny, aber das rettet nicht so viel. Als Show war das okay, da die längeren Parts im Kern über dem Schnitt."

[10.0] "Diese Ausgabe ist einfach der Inbegriff einer 10 Punkte weekly! Furioser Beginn mit einem Weltklasse Kampf. Alle wichtigen Storylines wurden voran gebracht. Die Crowd wurde immer wieder mitgenommen. Die Damen hatten natürlich in der Mitte eine leichte Schwäche, aber der Main Event und die generell dynamische Erzählung wussten zu begeistern"

[9.0] "Erstmal zu den Matches und da muss man schon sagen, dass hier einiges geboten wurde und zwar vor Allem mit diesem wirklich sehr guten Opener, bei welchem Garcia mit dem aggressiven Danielson mehr als nur mithalten konnte in einem wirklich sehr guten Match. Gunn Club gegen Varsity Blondes war natürlich nur ein Storymatch aber da gab es schon einen interessanten Moment nämlich den Turn gegen Vater Gunn. Aber natürlich noch viel wichtiger war alles, was um Punk und Page passiert bzw Moxley spielte da ja auch noch eine Rolle und wie da mal wieder die Grenzen zwischen Realität und Work verwischt werden ist große Klasse. Das Damenmatch war auch echt anständig und wahrscheinlich Kings bestes Match bis jetzt und im ME gab es dann den großen Moment der Kenny Omega Rückkehr, auf den dieses echt gute Match auch richtig zugeschnitten wurde und das auch dann das passende Finish hatte. Das war rundherum eine sehr gute Ausgabe, welche in meinen Augen 9 Punkte verdient."

[9.0] "I really liked this show. The Opener and the main event were quite fun. With Bryan Danielson vs Daniel Garcia being an amazing match in my opinion. The Cm Punk vs Moxley promo was quite good. The Gunn Club turning on Billy Gunn made me laugh pretty hard, I don't think that was the intended reaction though. The women's match was decent but It really didn't feel like they got a lot of time. I'd like to see more than one short women's segment per show, there was plenty men's promo time they could have cut to give the ladies some more time so meh. I'm very glad Kenny Omega is back. I was spoiled on his return, but I still geeked out when his music hit in the main event, a great surprise return."

[9.0] "Great Dynamite overall. Opening match was a TV MOTY contender for me, and the initial promo was very interesting and intense as well. The squash matches were effective enough and the pop for Omega's return was great, though I had mixed feelings about the match itself."

[9.0] "For sure, that was a great episode. Danielson and Garcia had the time of their lives in a complete masterpiece and Omega is fucking back. The women's bout was good. We just got this thing in Gunn Club, poor Varsity Blonds in the process. Moxley and Punk segment was also a thing of beauty. Two of my favorites, damn. The thing with their hatred going on during all the episode was something very funny."

[9.0] "Great show once again. The opening segment was amazing, and it felt great to see Punk back. I love the story throughout the night of them not being able to contain Moxley and Punk, though I wish we got a longer promo segment between the two. Danielson Vs Garcia was phenomenal and definitely deserved five stars imo. The Gunn club and the acclaimed stuff was amazing, and I am really intrigued with Stokleys group. The women match was easily the weakest part of the show, and Tony continues to run the division into the wrong direction. I don? t really want to see Rosa Vs Storm again, and I hope they make it a fatal 4 way. It just feels so stale right now. The main event was amazing, and obviously Omega returning was the best part of the show. Loved the story telling in this match and hope we get more Dragon Lee. Overall I? d say a 9 is a fair rating, with the women? s booking being the only weakness(AGAIN)"

[9.0] "While the number of matches in this episode of Dynamite were in no way numerous, the quality of these matches were extremely strong, with the 2 out of 3 falls match and the trios main event being arguable 5-star matches. This episode of Dynamite was also heavy in story, which is always a good thing because it allows the fans to get invested in what's to come. Super happy that Kenny Omega is finally back as well. 9/10"

[10.0] "Bryan Danielson is out here just showing all his doubters why he was, is, and will always be The Best in the World. Not only can he go in the ring but he knows just how to make future stars as well. Garcia got that Wheeler Yuta like rub tonight and I can not wait to see who Claudio will choose for his young boy into the future."

[7.0] "This was a very watchable Dynamite this week. However ITV4's breaks really hampered the opener and the Women's match. Good opening promo by CM Punk, who had a fun exchange with Moxley. Main event was decent but winners probably predictable. Also, Tony Nese still seems to be a meme."

[8.0] "The talking portions of Punk/Mox were good and Punk won the verbal exchange, but then they started throwing some of the fakest punches you've ever seen, the 2nd pull away they had was simply better for the fact that we didn't see them punch. The women's match just existed but it was fine. Kenny returning is cool, but I felt like it should've been a bigger deal. The Danielson/Garcia and the 6 man tag main event were both really good. All and all this was a good show"

[7.0] "After a series of underwhelming shows, Dynamite feels fresh and new once again with all the returns and good matches of this night."

[9.0] "Eine fantastische Ausgabe von Dynamite. Das Eröffnungssegment mit CM Punk und Jon Moxley war einfach stark. Mit nur einem Promo-Duell schaffen es beide, dass ich sofort in ihre Fehde investiert bin, super Intensität. Bryan Danielson vs. Daniel Garcia ist fantastisch und eines der besten Dynamite- Matches in der Geschichte von AEW. Jeder Fall anders, jeder Fall wichtig, ganz, ganz stark. Gunn Club vs. Varsity Blonds ist dann doch arg kurz, was schade ist, diente aber wohl nur dem Turn nach dem Match, was eine nette Szene war. Das Segment mit Jungle Boy und Christian war erneut gut und Jungle Boy kann sich immer mehr emanzipieren, wenn man es so nennen kann. Storm vs. King ist ganz nett aber etwas merkwürdig, dass es erneut Storm vs. Rosa beim PPV geben wird. KiLynn King hat sich in den letzten Monaten aber nochmal verbessert, hat gut ausgehen im Match. Der Main Event steht mehr oder weniger im Schatten von Kenny Omegas Rückkehr und holy shit, haben die Fans das gefeiert - mich eingeschlossen. Ich hoffe sehr, dass er sich vollständig erholen konnte und jetzt wieder angreifen kann. Schon beim Entrance spürt man sein Charisma und man sieht sofort, was er für AEW bedeutet. Das Match war ganz nebenbei auch noch ziemlich stark."

[9.0] "It's nice to be invested in AEW again. Punk/Mox was amazing. The opener was another Bryan Danielson magic match. Poor Varsity Blonds, they can't talk but I think they deserve more. Trios match was great, I don't think Omega's 100% but it's nice to have him back. We just need MJF and AEW can finally be the best company of the world again. Also, no Britt and Cole, which is always a 9/10 guaranteed"

[9.0] "One of the best episodes of AEW Dynamite of all time. The red thread to build the rivalry between CM Punk and Jon Moxley is perfect. The CM Punk promo is killer but it's so nice to see this CM Punk again. An unforgettable comeback and of course, fucking wrestling."

[10.0] "I'm burning up. It's the perfect show. All my high expectations were met. From the very beginning, CM Punk turned on the exorbitant level of his oratorical skills and showed who is in charge here. Mox did not put up with it and we are waiting for an extremely emotional confrontation and I am sure that this will not end next week. The intensity of passions is too high. Also on the show, Daniel Garcia became more than a young talent, he became a real star and now his ambitions are justified. Jericho and Danielson are now really fighting for new units. Kenny Omega is back and I'm trembling with curiosity about what awaits him and whether he will be able to return to the top level of skill again. At the same time, on the show Billy Gunn reconciled with the Rappers and quarreled with his sons and JungleBoy finally turned the match with Christian into a personal status. There is a lot of high-quality wrestling and good segments and it is clear that the company is doing everything right and it seems that now the best couple in AEW. Each time they manage to raise the bar of quality. A grand show!"

[7.0] "Good show for sure, mostly propped up for me by the amazing Bryan and Garcia stuff that not only from bell to bell but even after was endlessly engaging, aggressive, and told a wonderful story. Both men brought their working boots and even with just about 20 minutes they smashed it from top to bottom. Garcia's stuff afterwards was absolutely fascinating, maybe the only possible way to make the JAS interesting was to make it unsure if their best member even wants to be in the group. Loved the show of respect after, the shades of grey, all of it was fantastic. Kenny's return was great though I wasn't a huge fan of the match that followed, it was just nice to see him again for sure, hopefully he's back to as good as he can be soon and we get a bit more out of the best bout machine before he moves away from such active in-ring competition. The first Punk and Moxley promo had some great moments, though honestly I felt Punk was a bit heelish throughout and that Mox absolutely slaughtered him with the line "writing checks with your mouth that your body can't cash". Mox has been on fire for the whole year and even though to me it seems pretty clear that he will lose the match-up, he will come out of it with another great bout under his belt for the year and cement himself, as he said, as the heart and soul of the company either as champion or (more likely) not. Unfortunately that segment was brought down a little by the confusing way they booked the brawls. The first part in the first segment was good, but then we had a few minutes of Jon trying to get back in to attack Punk like he was a drunk at a pub getting told to drop it. To top that, they did the same thing again about half an hour later and it sort of went nowhere. I know they then moved the bout to Dynamite but it seemed totally pointless to have the same segment twice. The other segments had their weaknesses and merits but nothing really caught my attention aside from these bits. Overall a good show still. Match Ratings: Garcia vs. Danielson - 8.5, near 9/10, Blonds vs. Gunns - 4/10, King vs. Storm - 4/10, LFI vs. The Elite - 6.5/10."

[8.0] "Two great matches and a good show length beef between Punk and Mox combined with undercard stories moving on means this was a good show all round"

[9.0] "A really good Bryan Danielson match, Acclaimed and Daddy Ass back together, Punk and Moxley trading incredible promos, and a Kenny Omega return. Incredible stuff all-around, with even the women's match over-delivering despite the complete lack of story. While the focus on that division needs big improvement, as does some timing stuff (Dragon Lee getting betrayed almost didn't get shown at the end), when AEW is on form it's undeniably great TV, as it was here. The move to put Moxley/Punk on free tv next week instead of at All Out is a little odd but does have me intrigued as to what direction they're going in. All this being said, if the Hangman call-out by Punk was a shoot as is being reported that's a shitty move, and if it's a work it had better go somewhere pretty soon because that was very damaging to Hangman's character."

[10.0] "A great Dynamite, from start to finish giving a good show and also, it is very enjoyable that only lasts 2 hours, very good fights and with good durations, although the Gunn Club fight if it were not for its history with his father would be irrelevant, but hey, great show without a doubt."

[10.0] "What a Event! . Show Starts with Punk-Moxley Promo. This Promo is a Great Prologue For a Great Fight. After That we saw a great match between The Dragon and The Dragon Alter and in post-Match Jericho-Garcia Feud is start. Women's Match and Jungle Boy Promo is Okay. Main Event is Awesome. Kenny is back and Match had a lot of Combination and Chemistry As Bucks -Elite- Matchs Usual"

[7.0] "A hell of a show: the return of Kenny Omega, great matches, Danielson and all, Christian and Jungle Boy on fire... great!"

[10.0] "The show opened with a scathing war of words between Punk & Moxley trading jabs back-and-forth, bringing the heat immediately to a high point and making the fans lose their minds for such a heavily focused World Title rivalry after a while. The immediate masterclass collision between Danielson & Garcia successfully achieved its motive of bringing the pro wrestling asset of Garcia to its maximum and opening a chance of putting his JAS gimmick on the shelf for good. Danielson tutored him in the best way possible by pushing him to the limit as well as giving the shots back ruthlessly. Gunn Club made their decision which is a good sign for them as well as Billy Gunn to have a fun run as the manager of The Acclaimed. Jungle Boy had a tense face-off with Christian that ended with the much expected brawl which was stiff. Storm had a really good test as the new contender against the returning KiLynn who looked superb in the ring. Omega is back to the game but still has a lot of rust to be shrugged off sooner. Dragon Lee became the MVP of the main event outperforming almost the other combatants in the main event. Elite qualifying was expected and the close out twist wasn't fully witnessed but still gave the intrigue on the future for Lee & LFI. This episode was a home run in all aspects where the wrestling was exceptional and the stories met a captivating progress. The best Dynamite weekly of the year so far."

[8.0] "Used their stars to perfection this week. Punk's promo had me bouncing in my seat, snow angels included, Moxley cooled it off a little bit. The Danielson match and developments were good. Kenny's return was perfectly played, and Andrade did a godly performance given his shoulder. Skipped through the middle chunk so can't rate too highly."

[9.0] "This is a real big boy episode. These two hours felt honestly monumental, with all of AEW's biggest players finally on a card together for the first time in 2022. Kenny's return is obviously huge, and I enjoyed the decision to portray him as shaky and run-down - it kept it plausible that he might lose, and allowed Kenny to focus on in-ring character work and save the explosive athleticism for further down the stretch. I have some issues with Punk's presentation but the intensity between himself and Moxley felt very real, and they sold their upcoming match perfectly. Danielson-Garcia was such an incredible match, pure physicality and nastiness from bell to bell, and a really great post-match angle to cap things off. Storm & King went harder than expected and I really enjoyed their match, and the Gunn Club angle was just a treat, managing to be shockingly dramatic and brilliantly silly without either aspect detracting from the other. Jungle Boy was a little shaky in his promo, but once Christian Cage came out, the segment worked like gangbusters. Dynamite #150 is on the fringes of the conversation for the show's best episode to date, but it's almost certainly its biggest and most essential-feeling in a long, long time."

[9.0] "Punk and Mox segment, Danielson vs Garcia, Kenny's return and the actual main event. All fantastic. I'd give it a 10 if the stuff in the middle wasn't just filler."

[9.0] "Eine der stäksten Dynamite Ausgaben des Jahres. Die CM Punk & Jon Moxley Promo war unfassbar stark und alles drumherum brahcte schön Feuer uin das Title Match, welches überraschenderweise bereits nächste Woche ansteht. Kenny Omega ist wieder da. Er hat so sehr gefehlt in den Shows. JB vs. Christian ging gut weiter. Gunn Club und Acclaimed wurde amüsant weiter erzählt und oben drauf gab es ein Mega Wrestling Match zwischen Daniel Garcia und Danielson. Nur die Women's Divison zog mal wieder den Kürzeren mit einem random Match, sonst wäre es eine 10."

[10.0] "There isn't enough words to describe how awesome episode this was. The Punk/Mox promo, Garcia/Danielson match, return of Kenny... 10/10"

[10.0] "I think this episode of Dynamite was a shot of adrenaline that AEW needed. While I? m loving what? s going on at WWE, there? s still something so special about AEW. And tonight was indeed quite special. Punk giving us a mini pipe bomb, the spectacular match between Danny & Bryan, and the return of Kenny Omega capping it all off. The main event was crazy and gave the trios belts some prestige by having these top stars competing for them. It? s a electrifying time to be a wrestling fan."

[9.0] "Ein sehr denkwürdige Dynamite Ausgabe. Danielson vs. Grarcia war großartig und führt hoffentlich zu Garcia beim BBC."

[10.0] "Brilliant episode of Dynamite that went a long way toward re-establishing what AEW can be when it's at full strength. The stars like Punk and Omega felt major, the younger guys like Garcia and Jungle Boy felt important, and even the goofy midcarders were tremendously over. Fast-paced and exciting while still making sure everyone's focus stayed trained on the biggest feuds. Only issue remains the women's division, where for some reason they're booking an unasked-for title rematch from the last PPV, in the same city as last time, and seemingly pretending it didn't already happen."

[10.0] "Incredible show top to bottom. Two 9+ matches. Legendary selling from Kenny. A continuing masterclass in building a future ace with Garcia. The great Mox/Punk confrontation, The return of "Scissor me Daddy a__! ""

"Another great dynamite. Possible match of the year between Daniel Garcia and Bryan danielson. Great promo exchange between punk and moxley. And the amazing return of Kenny omega."

[9.0] "Another great show. I honestly didnt expect Kenny Omega because I thought it was too obvious but it was a great return. And that 2/3 falls match was awesome."

[9.0] "Opening promo was 15 minutes of Punk burying the competition. I've never been a Punk fan (I'm indifferent to both him and Moxley tbh), but his final jab at Mox's incessant blading had me howling. Having said that, there was no need for a second altercation between them. The first one was too long already and that time should have been saved for either the ladies' match or the ending turn that got cut off the air. Danielson vs Garcia was excellent, obviously. I popped so hard for the scissoring of Daddy Ass! And goddammit, the return of Kenny was my feel good moment of the year. He sold his ass off, with the ring rust and holding his stomach and playing up the knee."

[7.0] "It was a good show dragged down by some questionable booking. The opening promo segment was a little bit too long but I liked the content of the promos. Then the pull apart "brawl" happened and it was TERRIBLE. Two out of three falls match was good overall, but PLEASE stop letting Danielson take piledrivers. Then the Gunn Club squashed the Varsity Blonds for some reason, then they turned on their dad. I have no clue what's going on with Malcom Bivens but it doesn't make any sense. Remember when Ethan Page did that promo and then was offered to join Bivens? What happened with that? Why is he going after the Gunn Club of all teams? Why are they still feuding with The Acclaimed after having the blow off match? Jungle Boy's promo was bad. He is one of the few wrestlers in AEW who gets what chants. Toni Storm had a good match with King, but once again, we had the women's match at exactly 9:20 PM and wow, would you look at that, it got 7 minutes! Just like almost every other AEW women's match! I actually liked the main event, as the Bucks slowed it down a bit and didn't no sell quite as much. Kenny looked solid in his return. Then after the match, Andrade turns on Dragon Lee, we see Kenny look on confused, and then the show ends. What the fuck was that? Why did this have to happen tonight? Nothing on this show gets any time to breathe, and it's ridiculous. I liked the matches and the opening promo, but everything outside of that was illogical or terribly booked"

[10.0] "Was this the best Dynamite so far? I think it makes a strong argument. It played with the Dynamite formula in smart ways - opening with a hot promo by two hot acts, following up on it later, and was built around a Danielson/Garcia match that absolutely delivered, and the sly allusions to Kenny's return which... actually happened. Danielson/Garcia will be up there with the AEW MOTYs at the end of 2022. Kenny's return was incredible and cathartic. All of the Punk/Mox stuff delivered. King's return was impressive. Strong progression on The Acclaimed and Jungle Boy's ascension up the card. Everything hit tonight."

[10.0] "One of the greatest Dynamites ever, nearly everything about that Punk and Moxley segment I loved, fantastic technical wrestling match between Garcia and Danielson with excellent storytelling after, Daddy Ass is BACK, and Kenny returns finally, with that great 6-man tag to cap it off. AEW is on fire again"

[10.0] "Kenny is back! Bryan/Garcia was epic as was the 6-man main event with Kenny's return. Great to see him back."

[7.0] "A great episode of Dynamite. Mox and Punk's open followed up on last week's closing mystique with answers, explainations, and confrontation. Garcia vs Dragon 2/3 Falls started slow and built to a crescendo that made Garcia look every bit Bryan's equal and then some. While it could be argued that the Acclaimed and the Gunn Club should be done, pairing The Acclaimed back up with Daddy is a sure fire babyface act. Jungle Boy still needs to find intensity on the mic, but Christian's promo and JB's intensity in the attack buoyed their segment. KiLynn King got a two segment push and performed about as well as you can expect a fresh face to perform on a stacked card. Omega's return could have used more fanfare, but the return entrance was simple and effective. Main event ebbed and flowed into a traditional heat section, then everyone went nuts including a Lucha spot show style stacked dive to the outside and into the crowd (! ). A little too much fat in places (Rampage packages), but nothing hard to watch. Stay youthful, Ricky Steamboat."

[9.0] "Great episode. Great Main Event and terrific opener (Match Of The Year contestant). Two Moxley/Punk Segment (surprised Mox didn't bleed in any of them). Jungle Boy promo was fine but Christian was great, Toni's match was meh, The Gunn's turned on good ol' Mr.Ass (and was saved by The Acclaimed). And there is friction in the JAS"

[9.0] "Two 10/10 matches, both over 20 minutes long, made for an excellent show, although some of the rest of it was weak. As good as the Mox/Punk stuff was it went on for far too long, and should have been the only extended non-match segment, and at least one more meaningful match would have been welcome. That said, given just how good the good parts were those feel like nitpicks, and it was still a great show."

[10.0] "A great episode, loved the Mox vs Punk animosity and I can? t wait for Dynamite next week. I wonder what they have planned doing this match prior to All Out. Danielson vs Garcia was a five star classic in my opinion, only thing that would have made it better was no commercials. And I am just so happy to see Kenny Omega back. Even if there is some rust it seemed like he was feeling more comfortable with every move he executed. I love the story of him working himself back up to his old self as well. Absolutely an awesome show."

[10.0] "Good stuff all around, Punk v Moxley getting an amazing setup in anticipation for the All Out bout, Danielson and Garcia having a phenomenal match as expected, and of course Omega's return with a great pop and a very fun trios match."

[8.0] "A very good episode, with an initial confrontation and a very good promo from Jungle Boy and Christian. Bryan's Combat was the MOTN and the subsequent main event with the more than obvious return of Omega, finished sealing a good episode."

[10.0] "Such a good show. All the Punk Moxley stuff is just brilliant. 2 out of 3 falls was an absolute classic. Gunn Club/Acclaimed stuff is so entertaining. Toni match was good. Kenny's return and subsequent match were incredible. Couldn't have been a better show"
