3 Ups & 7 Downs From AEW Dark (Nov 5)

4. Fragile Defiance

Jimmy Havoc
AEW

Last night played host to From Undesirable to Undeniable's weakest episode yet, with Jimmy Havoc joining Cody in the bleachers (and later, backstage).

When asked about a time he'd felt undesirable, Jimmy said that pretty much everything that brought him to this point fed into this, adding that his divisiveness fuelled him. He said he wanted to carry on as a "f*ck you" to his doubters, coming off overly defensive as he constantly reiterated this. More than one middle finger was flashed to the camera as he trolled haters about getting signed. That's fine on paper, but not when said defiance feels so fragile, and his off-the-cuff spiels were all over the place as well, making this a sloppy, messy offering from the weekly highlight segment.

This is Jimmy to a tee, to be fair, and he probably wouldn't have it any other way, but ramshackle nonetheless.
