Kyle Fletcher, Will Ospreay’s best friend, has made his way down to ringside and he will defend his ROH TV title against him on Dynamite.

Justin Roberts announces Ric Flair, and the special guest timekeeper… Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat! This is so cool. Magnum TA, Nikita Koloff, and Scotty Riggs are sitting front row.
Match #9. Tornado Match for the AEW World Tag Team Championship: Sting & Darby Allin vs. The Young Bucks
The Bucks are wearing robes to the ring a la Rocky Balboa. Darby makes his way to the ring and he looks terrifyingly motivated. A video package of Sting’s “Final Showtime” is shown, with him sitting in an empty theater watching his old matches, along with pictures of himself throughout the years. After the video cuts, Sting looks at the camera and says… “It’s showtime. Showtime, for the last time… let’s do this.” Sting’s son comes out as Captain America Sting. Sting’s other son is out in red and black sting! STING IS HERE TO METALLICA’S SEEK AND DESTROY. THIS IS EVERYTHING. SUICIDE DIVE BY DARBY AND HERE WE GO! Stinger Splashes by both guys in stereo.

Winners and STILL AEW World Tag Team Champions: Sting & Darby Allin
Rating: ****. I have no idea how to rate this but all I can say is that this was something I’ll never forget. This was a complete car crash and Darby took possibly the worst bump I’ve ever seen. This is how a legend like Sting deserves to finish his career.
Darby grabs the mic and says we’ve got three minutes left on PPV and everyone chants for Sting. Sting says “Thank you, Greensboro.” Sting thanks Ric Flair for the 45-minute draw in 1988. Sting just wanted tonight to be a night that fans don’t forget, and it is Sting saying that tonight is a night he will never forget. “Thank you, Sting!” chants echo through the arena. Sting thanks the greatest tag team partner he’s ever had in Darby Allin, and he wonders how many stitches he’d need after tonight. Sting says he’s kind of old now, but he’s still a risk taker, like he was in his old days. “You still got it!” chants. Sting says he’s getting cues as the signal fades to black, but I’m sure we’ll see whatever happens on AEW’s YouTube page soon.
Final Thoughts: If this isn’t the best PPV I’ve ever seen, it’s in the top five. Go out of your way to watch the whole show from start to finish. Sting’s last match, Danielson vs. Kingston, Takeshita vs. Ospreay, FTR vs. BCC, Strong vs. Cassidy… I mean, I don’t know what else there is to say. Revolution over-delivered and there’s not a single wrestling fan that can walk away from this show saying they didn’t enjoy themselves. How AEW follows up on Dynamite, however, remains to be seen. 9.5/10.
