Dynamite’s recent format change won’t be for everybody, but AEW’s creative decline in 2023 has necessitated changes and this one is worth sticking with as long as there are characters with as much going on as MJF.

Once again, the ‘Salt Of The Earth’, Adam Cole, Roderick Strong and The Kingdom took centre stage, but once again the scene was as much about what we weren’t being told as what we were.

Cole really wants MJF to lean on Samoa Joe. Why? Strong threatened to remind everybody exactly who he was. How was he going to do that? MJF’s honourable title match offer to Daniel Garcia was as much about pulling him away from Daddy Magic and Cool Hand Ang, the last men literally holding him back. Would he take it?

The World Champion can be proud of this one - just when everybody thought they had all the answers, AEW reiterated the questions. And it worked!
