13 Ups & 6 Downs From AEW Dynamite (Nov 27)

3. Kenny Rights All Out's Wrong

We don't give PAC enough credit as a world-class professional wrestler.

Everything he does is on point. He's a performer without a single weakness, and a guy who understands his role perfectly. He could absolutely go out there and pop the crowds' t*ts off with his inhuman speed, agility, and high spots, but he doesn't.... because he's a heel. A true heel Instead, PAC cleverly works his most eye-catching offense into his matches only when it makes sense, going for effectiveness over pops. The rest of his time is spent grinding opponents down with logical, methodical work that never gets boring, and never feels like he's just slapping on a hold to pass time. This makes him one of the best working villains in the business.

Their rematch ruled. Framed as an important step on Omega's recovery, it began with a reminder that Kenny's loss to PAC came 88 days ago, and that he hasn't been the same since. That didn't mean 'The Best Bout Machine' wasn't in great in-ring form, though. Playing the flashy babyface to PAC's heeling, he scored the pinfall after a series of counters, cradling 'The Bastard' for the W to kickstart his healing process.

An interesting outcome as PAC compounding Omega's misery with another defeat looked the likeliest result. Perhaps this is more interesting, though.
