10 Storylines AEW Should Abandon RIGHT NOW
10. Dante Martin+1 Vs Team Taz
On the January 12th 2022 edition of Dynamite, Dante Martin and Powerhouse Hobbs wrestled a decent version of the exact type of match men of their size and skillsets should be having. As they did on September 8th 2021, when Martin's hostilities with Team Taz were actually heating up rather than dragging on.
Both were good television back-and-forths, but the key difference between them was the amount of engagement anybody could reasonably apply when watching. The rematch felt apropos of almost nothing thanks to threads that are starting to feel dropped rather than loose between Martin and the group he briefly joined.
And yet, this has to be the only story of note because there's an internal insistence that somebody sidle up to the youngster at all times in order to help him win this hundred years war. In the absence of injured brother Darius, Matt Sydal, Lio Rush and now Jay Lethal (and that's a pretty bad look too) have all played sidekick in-between Martin infiltrating Team Taz for a fortnight for aims and objectives that were either dropped or went unexplored.
AEW loyally holds on to many programmes it shouldn't, and this is another that would benefit from a binning.
