[7.0] "Coffin match was enjoyable as was the Tornado Tag match but it was a little sloppy. Luchasaurus continued being built in a generic squash. Luchasaurus taking out Pat Buck was some good foreshadowing of his turn. Warlow/FTR and Dutt/Singh/Lethal segment was fun. Trustbusters and Best Friends was alright but seemed to be only to build to their Trios Tournament match. Starks and Solo was a good win for Starks but seemed to be just a speed bump to continue the Hobbs/Starks feud until the pay-per-view. the TBS title match just did not connect with me. The interim title match was the MOTN for me. Jericho and Mox have great chemistry and put on a good technical match. Punk's return seemed a little sloppy as seen with him not getting Jericho over the top rope with his clothesline. Crowd was hot throughout and commentary was good but could be better."
[8.0] "Coffin Match: It was what it was needed. A brutal fight between two men, wuth blood, weapong, and obviously a lot of sheenanigans. The moves were fine, even not perfect. Maybe it lacked a little more play around the coffin, or maybe the spooky thematic itself. Even that, it was a satisfactory match. [***3/4]; Tornado Tag Team Match: Good action from these magnificient tag teams. It's nice to always see this type of Lucha Libre here in AEW. Maybe it lacked of a strong storyline to make it feel important, but anyway it was interesting. Another satisfactory battle. [***1/2]; Well. it was obvious with whom will Page be on this tournament. It would be nice to see them working again as a team, but I suppose we'll have to wait for Kenny's return; Anthony Henry VS Luchasaurus: Continuing with the Luchasarus path of destruction. Obvious winnner; On the other hand, this rivalry between Jungle Boy and Christian it's a pretty exciting one; What a nice and random team it's made by Wardlow and FTR, really hoping to see what they doing next; Aaron Solo VS Ricky Starks: Pretty nice match. Maybe with a bigger amount of time this battle could feel so much important for the show. Even that, both wrestlers did a good job; AEW TBS Title Match: Oh my, it seems that Jade is still lacking of some training for her moves and her sellings. Madison tried to put a good match, but it was obvious that they hadn't have enough chemistry to ger it. There were some nice moves, but not enough to even be a satisfactory match. It's more than adequate for me. [**1/2]; Jon Moxley VS Chris Jericho: Pretty interesting match. Another aproach was needed for Moxley's matches, and they subequently managed it. Having almost every part of the match with a submission was nice, even not very entertained. I liked this new trying, but maybe it lacked of some more intensity and strenght. Satisfactory match. [***1/2]; And then ending with a surprising comeback. I wasn't really expecting to see him coming back in a such short amount of time. But well, this is good for business. Putting more emotion over the World Title is nice; A good overall show, really enjoyable. Have some interesting rivalries advances and some good matches, even not the best I've seen on this show. Looking forward to see what they do next. Good show. [***3/4]"
[9.0] "Dynamite has been on the verge as something excellent in the recent weeks. The first hour delivered pretty well even with two squashes. Cargill vs. Rayne was decent enough, to be cool. And then, you got this absolute gem between Jericho and Moxley... followed by Punk's return. What a ride."
[9.0] "I thought this was an excellent episode of Dynamite. Most of everything on the episode was very good, and even excellent with the main event. The biggest complaint I have of the night was the Cargill v. Rayne match. It didn't feel like it went as well as it could've. Rough match/segment aside, this Dynamite had way more highs than lows, and was a really strong episode overall. 9/10"
[7.0] "Opener was good. Anna Jay is terrible. Tornado Tag match was good. I don't get Luchasaurus' match, but at least Anthony Henry was on TV, sadly he didn't do anything. Starks vs Solo was useless but at least short. Madison Rayne looks like an untalented rookie. Mox vs Jericho was great and saved the show. AEW has been so uninteresting lately. It's almost a drag to tune in or watch it."
[8.0] "Damn what a good show, opener was crazy, main event was even crazier. Had good segments, especially Jericho vs. Moxley. And holy shit Punk's return was fantastic. Only real downsides were the TBS title match and I didn't care much for the two less-than-5-minutes matches. But I loved this show otherwise."
[6.0] "The tornado tag team match was the best thing on the show with some really good backstage segments as well. Everything else wasn't on the usual Dynamite's quality level."
[8.0] "CM Punk is back in the game! And my God, how cool it is, Mox came to the match absolutely as an alpha fighter and their match is the main event in the world of pro wrestling! Huge emotions that add points to the show. At the same time, the whole show was very interesting, at first wrestling was generally the coolest, then Darby again showed his desire to fight and the Mexicans lit up the arena. It turned out just fine, the middle of the show was rather with the development of stories, and as a result, I am for such a recipe of the show. AEW has always lacked developments before the global ppv and they are being corrected. An extremely energizing show for the next working day!"
"Really fun show overall with some great TV matches and a big return at the end. Loved the opening match and thought it was the correct result. Curious to see if that feud continues. The Jungle Boy/Christian feud has been great but this segment didn't do much for me personally. Rest of the show was pretty good but I'm so over the Kingston/BCC/JAS feud at this point and I'm praying it ends at the ppv."
[8.0] "The first two matches made me think we were in for a classic episode, then whatever the hell the middle of the episode was. Brody/Darby was a absolute war and I would've cared more for blood and the stip if we didn't see no DQ and hardcore matches weekly. That YBS promo was cringe but I still thought it was borderline good. That Jade match was really bad and it wasn't even because of her this time she kept it from being worse. I thought the Moxley/Jericho match, and Punk's run in afterwards saved this show from being mediocre for me, that was probably the best ending to a TV show that I've seen in a while. (nothing beats a return during a brawl)"
[8.0] "Veryt good show here with 3 great matches and two squashes that helped storylines and character development. Hopefully Athena will finally beat jade for the TBS title and we'll get more women's matches of the same quality as the rest of the show soon."
"Amazing show! No real down point other than the TBS championship match, which wasn? t terrible just not great. The opening match was fantastic, alongside the main event plus the return of my favorite of all time CM Punk. They? ve done a great job of building up the younger stars the past few weeks and I hope they continue once all the guys come back. I? m expecting Omega next week and hopefully MJF on the all out main event."
[6.0] "This was completely bang average. AEW seems to be going round in circles and has yet to elevate anyone to level of Mox/Jericho/Omega/Punk. Hangman got close and then quickly got shuffled backwards."
[6.0] "Too many weak to average matches in the middle to give it higher although the main event was good and the tornado tag was good too. The coffin match between Darby and Brody was the best match of the show. Brody really bled like crazy the whole match and they put on a hell of a beatdown on each other."
[8.0] "A good but not great show on paper that was elevated by a very good segment between Hangman and the Young Bucks with some awesome character stuff from Page, a hot crowd throughout, and of course the surprise CM Punk return. The main event and opener were also strong, but the middle portion of the show was pretty average from a wrestling point-of-view. Still, as an overall package, this was a success for sure. I like the renewed focus on character work with more backstage segments and video promos."
[8.0] "A great show, I liked it a lot, obviously there were some moments that left a lot to be desired, like those fights of Luchasaurus, that if he only squashes is not very funny, on the other hand, Ricky Starks needs opponents that really call the attention to continue building stories, however, great show."
[8.0] "What a show for story progression! It really feels were on the highway for All Out now. Cm Punk is back, Miros mission to the House of Black is clear, Athena and Jade have things heating up, and also that emotional Hangman and Young Bucks segment?"
[8.0] "A really solid Dynamite tonight. It feels like AEW is back on track after Forbidden Door and the ROH PPV derailed things somewhat. Well, at least AEW Dynamite is back (what the hell is a Trustbuster and why are they all over this week's Rampage? ). CM Punk's return capped off a fantastic night of wrestling, with another phenomenal Jon Moxley AEW title defense. He has been on an absolute roll this year and I'm glad some good was able to come out of Punk's unfortunate injury. Moxley deserved to be a Champion in front of the people and he definitely left his mark during this reign. In fact, I wonder if AEW will be tempted to keep the title on him at All Out. Darby vs Brody King was a little bit overbooked, but nonetheless a fun gimmick match. I also really enjoyed Lucha Bros. vs La Faccion Ingobernable - which perfectly leads us into Dragon Lee's AEW debut and, perhaps, the return of Kenny Omega. That could easily be a MOTY contender next wek. The negatives on the show, for me, were the Jade Cargill match (which might have been her weakest title defense thus far), the Luchasaurus squash and continued stalling of the Jungle Boy/Christian feud (which feels like it peaked weeks ago) and Satnam/Sonjay/Lethal being all over my television yet again, only this time dragging FTR into their orbit. Oh well, at least Tony Khan seems to FINALLY have strapped the rocket to Ricky Starks. His presentation the last few weeks has been exceptional and you can tell (from the video packages, the recaps and just the way he's being booked) that they are finally all in on Starks. He looked like a million bucks tonight and the retreat into the crowd was fantastic. Crazy that he was one of the most over people on this show after only a handful of weeks as a babyface. Next week we need a live promo! Great show and it finally feels like we're on the Road to All Out! The card is starting to take shape and this PPV could easily be an all-timer. They just need to figure out the tag division, which feels completely irrelevant right now."
[9.0] "One of the best Dynamites ever. The womens match was what it was but other than that, everything was good to great and the main event was a-m-a-z-i-n-g."
[5.0] "A really mediocre Dynamite with a good undercard but very disappointing title matches. Darby vs King was quite good. King was a great monster, while Darby sold and bumped very well, with his reckless daredevil attacks looking very good, too. A shame about the heavy interference derailing all that. ***1/4. Penta & Fenix vs Andrade & Rush was pretty good, with many impressively energetic, impactful, and flashy attacks. I liked the Lucha Bros' usual athleticism, but I'm definitely tired of them hitting all the same spots in every match. The general energy/ intensity still made this a pretty good match, especially with how energetic and charismatic Andrade and Rush were, but Lucha Bros need to finally switch things up. ***1/4 - ***1/2. The Bucks and Page's backstage segment didn't have the best acting, but the story itself of The Bucks trying but failing to reconcile with Page was good. Saurus' squash match was fine, with Saurus once again impressing as a brutal powerhouse. I'm assuming he's keeping his 'dark' look and more aggressive demeanour because he's secretly still a heel (or I hope so, or else this booking makes no sense). NR. Miro's cryptic vignette was once again very cool, and I'm excited to see him finally face off with Black. The segment with Wardlow, FTR, and Lethal's crew was short but decent, and I liked the idea of Wardlow and FTR teaming up. 2point0 and Garcia looked like try-hard dorks as always with their promos, and Anna's heel character remains a nice change even if its still quite hokey and her in-ring work still won't be too good. Starks vs Solo was a fine solo showcase for Starks, and Solo looked good for his part, too. NR. Starks' post-match escape from the beatdown wasn't very babyface-like, but I guess I liked that it still fit his originally established 'cheeky' and intelligent character, showing he naturally hadn't suddenly just done a complete 180 since turning. Jade vs Madison was another instance of AEW's occasionally completely nonsensical booking (how the hell did Madison earn this match? ), and the match itself was pretty bad. Jade's athletic/powerhouse spots and confident heel spots stoped this being awful, but Madison was pretty sloppy (how is she a trainer lmao) and their chemistry was dreadful. *3/4. Moxley vs Jericho was initially pretty good, since I liked Jericho's more 'serious' and technical style and how Moxley bounced off that, but the 2nd half was pretty bad, featuring absurd plot-armour as Moxley survived literally every single one of Jericho's signature moves and finishers, all while barely showing any appropriate long-term damage, always fighting back pretty easily, and eventually pulling off the miracle comeback. **1/2. The massive post-match brawl was mindlessly messy for the sake of it, and Punk's return was stupid because he somehow overpowered the whole JAS by himself, which was ridiculous. I'm at least interested in how his unification match with Moxley will go."
[6.0] "I really enjoyed the first hour, not so much the second hour. But holy cow they need a direction for a lot of stuff in a hurry because using the TRUSTBUSTERS in two different matches on Rampage is not gonna help that show gain viewers. Like what the hell is FTR actually supposed to be doing, anyway? They've been #1 contenders for like 20 straight weeks with no direction apparent, and I'm not even exaggerating. This was a mixed bag of a show for me."
[9.0] "Really good show. I wasnt super excited for this because ive been distracted by all the WWE stuff going on but I really enjoyed this. Chris Jericho probably had one of his best matches in AEW and then CM Punk returned at the end. Im looking forward to this Punk vs Moxley feud."
[9.0] "Really good Episode, starts of with a really fun car crash between Brody and Darby, followed up by the also crazy Tornado Tag, Trios Tournament was announced with some nice Young Bucks/Hangman interaction, Jungle Boy and Christian keep heating up their feud, Starks/Solo was as good as a 2 minute squash can be, with a pretty cool prematch video package and build for a future match with Hobbs. Womens match wasn't great but not that awful either. And then comes the main event, Jericho/Moxley was amazing from bell to bell, from the Technical exchanges, the Jericho Callbacks, and the insane amounts of Violence, just perfect. And the Show closes on the Epic Punk Mox Staredown"
[9.0] "A very high quality episode of Dynamite focused on in-ring action, all of which more or less delivered. Dedicating plenty of time to the main event was a great decision. Punk's return was of course an excellent way to end the show on a high note."
