I forgot to mention the Darby/Ospreay match on Dynamite last week was fantastic! Might be the best match on free television in 2024. I still think it's a shame they gave away another big match with little build on Dynamite, but you can't take away from the match itself. It's just weird how often this happens... is there a "dream match" in AEW we haven't seen already?
In contrast they've basically killed MJF. Maxwell used to be the #1 guy in the company, now he's at the level of everyone else. They wasted most of 2024 on his feud with Cole. His segments used to be the highest rated on the show, but not anymore... I assume The Kingdom turns on Cole and joins MJF on Wednesday. Is that something people want? Feels like we've seen this with MJF too many times already.
Also interesting to note Chicago is getting Gunther/Punk in a steel cage on the weekend. Will that be a one-off or a sign of things to come? A Punk/Gunther program would be pretty fresh, and should make for some top notch matches.
