11 Ups & 0 Downs From AEW Dynamite (May 31 - Review)

By Michael Hamflett /

1. Adam Cole & Britt Baker Vs Chris Jericho & Saraya

AEW

A television main event vastly superior to the two separate singles outings between all four wrestlers over the last two pay-per-views, Adam Cole and Britt Baker's win over Chris Jericho and Saraya was an incredibly satisfying conclusion to one feud and a useful beat in another. Tonally, it was a perfect fit for the show too.

The work never took the match to an especially elite tier, but it didn't need to. The audience came unglued for Baker grabbing Jericho in the Lockjaw, Hikaru Shida chasing away the interfering Outcasts, and Cole getting more straightforward redemption on 'The Ocho' than he'd claimed at Double Or Nothing.

Baker and Cole looked awesome in their matching entire, carried megastar shine as unified babyfaces, and the heels ate some sh*t as a monster fan service edition of the show faded to black. More of a happy ending than a classic one, a main event had rarely felt as fine and fitting as this one. This was ticket-selling AEW content, and if Dynamite and Collision can continue to provide this, some of those blue dots on WrestleTix might finally start going grey again.
