5 Ups & 5 Downs From AEW Dynamite 200 (August 2 - Review)
2. Mogul Embassy Go To War With Nick Wayne
Funny before it became deeply uncomfortable, this disarmingly dangerous heat angle was one of the best AEW outside broadcasts in ages, and captured the cruelty in Swerve Strickland's heart that he's rapidly been able to extract from an enraged AR Fox.
Jumping Nick Wayne and bloodying him up with a framed picture of him and his late father, the two went from menacing to outright evil when they called Darby Allin to make him aware of the damage they'd done. This was sensational heroes-and-villains action, of bad guys picking their moments and good guys unable to do anything until they can.
That destination could and should be Wembley Stadium, and there's no bigger superhero than Sting himself, not least in front of the biggest crowd of his legendary career. This already had the makings of something special, but Wayne's involvement has elevated all of it to an unprecedented height.
