This week’s Dynamite served as the go-home show for AEW’s next pay-per-view, Full Gear, and featured an emotional promo from Cody Rhodes, a hilarious parody video package from Chris Jericho, Private Party earning a spot in the AEW World Tag Team Championship match and a tag match between Chris Jericho, Sammy Guevara, Hangman Page and Kenny Omega breaking down in an all-out brawl between The Inner Circle and The Elite.
Meanwhile over on NXT the fallout from the brand’s invasion of Raw and SmackDown as AJ Styles, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson of The O.C. arrived at Full Sail and jumped all four members of the Undisputed Era. The main event featured the three taking on Tommaso Ciampa, Keith Lee and Matt Riddle in a six-man tag match, but things broke down once Finn Balor (teasing an alliance with The OC) and Adam Cole both got involved.
Rhodes’ promo on Dynamite earned a massive amount of praise from wrestlers and wrestling fans alike. Even Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson gave it a glowing review.
