8 Ups & 4 Downs From AEW Dynamite (May 20)
Hangman Page & The Young Bucks return, Guevara vs. Hardy, and more.
The Stadium Stampede should headline AEW Double Or Nothing 2020.
While current talk points towards Lance Archer and Cody's TNT Championship tilt (and the Mike Tyson appearance that comes with it) headlining, The Elite vs. The Inner Circle is the hottest thing in the promotion at the moment, particularly with Brodie Lee vs. Jon Moxley failing to ignite.
Last night's Dynamite brought two major developments relating to the Stampede. The biggest was Hangman Page and The Young Bucks returning in the closing segment, saving Kenny Omega from an Inner Circle beatdown. AEW clarified the bout's rules before that. Although a wrestling ring will be set up in the middle of an empty TIAA Bank Field, it'll be no countouts, no disqualifications, and falls count anywhere. Chaos is guaranteed and curiosity levels are high.
Elsewhere, Dynamite saw Moxley face Preston '10' Vance of the Dark Order, Britt Baker and Nyla Rose team up against Kris Statlander and Hikaru Shida, Orange Cassidy vs. Rey Fenix, and Matt Hardy out for revenge on Sammy Guevara after Vanguard 1's brutal murder. These things combined for a solid go-home show, but not a spectacular one.
Let's light the fuse...
