Final Thoughts: Very consistent and fun episode of Dynamite this week. Any show that starts off with BCC vs. Lucha Bros is going to bring it, and it didn’t let up. The triple threat match overdelivered, Darby and Orange Cassidy are a heck of a lot of fun as a team, CM PUNK IS BACK! A lot happened this week and the show absolutely flew by. 7.5/10.
