This was another very good episode of AEW Dynamite. The show opened with Tony Khan’s big announcement with him being the new owner of Ring of Honor. He then announces Bryan Danielson versus Christopher Daniels as the opening match as two men who were a part of ROH. These men put on a great match. After the match, Jon Moxley confronted Bryan Danielson.

The Casino Tag Team battle royal was next. This was a great match. Darius Martin returned with his brother Dante as Top Flight was back in action. This was good so many feuds development including reDRagon and FTR. Kyle O’Reilly and Bobby Fish cost FTR the match which allowed the Young Bucks to advance to AEW Revolution. It is interesting to see Fish and O’Reilly helping the Bucks considering the week before.

In addition, we saw CM Punk and MJF have another great segment. MJF played CM Punk and the fans after his story from a week ago. MJF called himself the Devil himself. Chris Jericho had a great promo about Eddie Kingston. Interesting to see Santana and Ortiz fist pump Jericho.
