Final Thoughts
A lot of fun stuff on the show tonight! Two things, in particular, have me excited:
(1) Cody vs. “one of the top independent wrestlers in the world.” Wrestling is at it’s best when wrestling gets people talking. When I saw Tony Khan’s tweet yesterday afternoon I immediately headed over to the wretched hive of scum and villainy that is r/squaredcircle to pore over the wide guesses and debate. The guesses ranged from CM Punk to James Ellsworth, but I think I know who it’s going to be (I won’t say it here in case I’m right) and I had a great time thinking about and imagining the different possibilities.
Tomorrow night on #AEWDynamite, @CodyRhodes will defend the TNT Championship against one of the top independent wrestlers in the world! It’s part of a huge card and what I promise will be a great episode of #AEW Dynamite tomorrow night on TNT at 8pm ET/7pm CT! pic.twitter.com/y3F77zKYXp

(2) Is Kenny Omega turning heel? God, I hope so. I’m in the camp that believes AEW is squandering Omega’s talents. He is a superstar and might be the best, most interesting wrestler in the world–but American audiences know that? How would they? I can’t wait for him to spinoff and do his thing as a singles star, and if he has to turn heel to do it then that’s fine with me.
