Final Verdict: 3.5/5
This week’s Dynamite delivered a tightly paced show that did an excellent job pushing storylines forward while delivering solid in-ring action. Kenny Omega’s dominant victory over Blake Christian was a crisp, effective way to remind fans of his elite status ahead of the high-stakes triple-threat match at Dynasty. Meanwhile, the women’s division took centre stage in the main event, with Megan Bayne pinning Toni Storm — a big win that solidifies her as a looming threat to the AEW Women’s World Champion.
The show also saw key developments in several major feuds. Swerve Strickland’s heated exchange with Jon Moxley added more fire to their brewing rivalry, while MJF’s calculated response to MVP’s offer kept fans guessing about the direction of the Hurt Syndicate storyline. The backstage segment with Adam Copeland and FTR hinted at some unresolved tension, subtly setting up potential shifts in allegiance.
Overall, this episode was an engaging blend of build-up and payoff. It wasn’t overloaded with surprises, but it moved all the right pieces forward, making it a strong entry on the road to Dynasty.
