4 Ups & 6 Downs From AEW Dynamite (Jan 20)

Downs...

6. Killing Time

Jurassic Express FTR
AEW

There isn't a lot to pick apart in the backstage segments featuring FTR and Jurassic Express and Eddie Kingston, his Family, and Lance Archer, but both felt light and inconsequential, existing primarily to eat up airtime rather than develop anything meaningful in either storyline.

Two singles matches were announced here: Jungle Boy vs. Dax Harwood and Kingston vs. Archer. Both make sense within the context of the stories, but a simple match graphic could have done the same job in a fraction of the time. These things didn't need to exist - and it's not like they brought enough great content to the table to compensate.
