12 Ups & 2 Downs From AEW Dynamite (Mar 5)

1. Where Was Lance?

Lance Archer

Last week, AEW told us that the newly-signed Lance Archer would be debuting on this episode of Dynamite. They didn't follow through on this. Archer was nowhere to be seen.

That's it. That's the Down.

Regardless of whether or not this was a bait and switch or a more earnest change of plans, this is a bad look. It's bad when WWE does it, it's bad when AEW does it, and it'll never sit well, particularly when it isn't even acknowledged on the show.
