Winners and STILL AEW World Tag Team Champions: The Gunn Club
Rating: **1/2. Good little match here but the giant commercial break in the middle really effected the flow of the match. Top Flight did their stuff but the bad guys took advantage in the end.
FTR is here! Gunns say no one wants to hear FTR talk and they’re losers. FTR lost three sets of belts AND lost to the Gunn Club. The Gunn Club says they have no reason to face FTR ever again.

Hook pulls Stokely up and finishes this one with Redrum!
Winner: Hook
Rating: *1/2. Not much of a match and it didn’t last long, but it was incredibly entertaining.
Adam Cole is here! The entire arena is on their feet chanting “Adam Cole” and Cole wonders… who’s ready for story time? Seven days away from Cole making his in-ring return at AEW. Cole feels GREAT. Cole has never been more ready or more prepared to wrestle next week. Who’s Cole’s opponent?
Before Cole could go any further, Daniel Garcia’s music hits. Garcia is now draped in leather, by the way. Who’s ready for story time with Daniel Garcia, bay-bay? Garcia says he has become a locker room leader since Cole has left, and it’s his job to put Cole in his place. Garcia then runs down the list of people he’s beat while Cole has been playing video games on Twitch. Garcia is the life’s blood of AEW and he’s been proving he’s one of the best pro wre– whoops, he means sports entertainers… on the planet today. What makes Adam Cole so special?
“When they ring the freakin’ bell!”
Cole says the company that Garcia keeps is his problem. Cole challenges Garcia for next week and we’ve got our Adam Cole return match!

Winner: Kenny Omega
Rating: ****1/2. Absolute spectacle. If ANYONE didn’t know Vikingo, they do now, and that was the purpose of this match. I assume we will get a “Vikingo is All Elite” graphic as soon as Tony can sign the check. Everyone who watched this show will want to watch Vikingo wrestle in the future, and that was the purpose of this match. Well done by everyone involved.
Tony Schiavone is headed to the ring now, and he’s with Kenny Omega. Schiavone says that was a match for the ages and the Blackpool Combat Club are here! The BCC put the boots to Omega. We hear sirens and the ambulance is pulling up… it’s Hangman Page! Page hits the ring with weapons in hand! BCC clear the ring and Page makes the save for Omega! Don Callis is there and he fakes a bump and Omega doesn’t see it. Omega now gets in Page’s face as we go off the air.
Final Thoughts: THERE WE GO. What a show tonight. Fast paced, good storytelling, excellent matches… not much more you can ask for an episode of Dynamite. The Omega/Page/Bucks story is just getting started, the BCC are full-fledged bad guys, The Outcasts are doing their thing… just fun stuff everywhere tonight. 9/10.
