SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)... MJF AND HIS CHALLENGERS AEW is continuing to do a great job making the World Title the main focus of Dynamite week after week. From all of the challengers swarming around MJF, to the announcers building up the importance of the Owen Hart Tournament, it’s been very fun to watch. Mark Briscoe and Pac had a great match that featured some terrific mat wrestling to go along with some physical blows and cool spots. It was a joy to watch.

SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)... HITS MJF VS. RUSH A strong start to the show made the viewers look at Rush as a legitimate threat to MJF, who attempted to get into his head in the “earlier” interview. Rush getting a pep talk from Andrade was a nice touch as well. I loved MJF coming out as a matador to battle the bull. I wonder if Tito Santana was watching. The match delivered as a hard-hitting physical affair.

SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)... OMEGA-OSPREAY HEART TO HEART This drama was a solid way to start the show. Kenny Omega asked the question most fans would be asking: “Why the Death Riders?”. And it was a fair question. I liked Ospreay’s response questioning Omega and his absences from Dynamite. This was compelling and continues a storyline that will likely pay off months down the line. Moxley walking in at the end was great stuff and just added tension to the room.
