Opinion: Tonight was an impressive debut for Cargill and I thought this match was way better than I thought it was going to be. I was not expecting to see Shaq hit a Powerbomb and take a bump through two tables.

Inner Circle came to the ring for a Town Hall Meeting. Jericho & MJF vowed to beat the hell out of the Young Bucks this Sunday at Revolution. Conrad Thompson came to the podium and asked if Sammy was going to be let back into Inner Circle. MJF called Conrad “turkey tits” in response to the questcion. Barstool’s Brandon Walker showed up and then Bischoff returned to Dynamite.

Matt and Nick said that their father is the greatest and did all the things that MJF & Jericho’s fathers failed to do. Young Bucks added that their dad taught them to stand up for themselves and a brawl broke out. Matt and Nick then put Santana and Ortiz through some tables to end the segment.

Ryo Mizunami Earned A Title Shot

Ryo then hit the Guillotine Leg Drop for the pinfall victory. Ryo will face Hiraku Shida for the AEW Women’s Championship this Sunday at Revolution.
Opinion: I’m glad it is not Nyla Rose again, but I don’t know how I’m supposed to be excited for this match. Thunder Rosa and Britt Baker are usually featured on Dynamite every week and are not in the title picture. I’m sure it will be a good match but AEW didn’t do enough to get a lot of people invested.
Ricky Starks Interrupted Sting
Sting was interviewed by Tony Schiavone once again on Dynamite. Ricky Starks interrupted and told Sting that he saw fire from him last week. Starks added that he is also man enough to admit that Sting has still got it. Ricky told Sting that he still isn’t an icon and slapped Starks across the face. Sting sent Ricky to the corner and hit the Stinger Splash.
Sting then locked in the Scorpion Deathlock but Hobbs and Cage broke it up. Brian Cage tried for the Powerbomb again but Darby Allin made the save to end the segment. Sting & Allin will face Ricky Starks & Brian Cage this Sunday at Revolution in a Street Fight.

Matt attacked Hangman after the match but Dark Order rushed the ring. The rest of the tag teams in the Casino Battle Royal on Sunday rushed the ring and a massive brawl broke out as Brodie Lee Jr. watched on from the stage. Matt escaped from the ring and traded words with Brodie Jr. to close the show.
Opinion: Dynamite was another solid show this week and did a good job of hyping up the PPV this Sunday. There are several matches I am looking forward to this Sunday and hopefully Revolution turns out to be a great show.
