5 Ups & 5 Downs From AEW Dynamite (30 August - Review)

1. The Acclaimed Appear

The Acclaimed
AEW

The Acclaimed appeared to celebrate their title win and introduce new custom Trios titles, which are quite amusing, but this was a nothing segment ultimately, even if fans did enjoy the easy kn*b gag. Daddy Ass has a bigger one (pair of scissors) than Max Caster.

Wahey!

Also: this might be the most detached take from the wider fandom you might ever read, but isn't Billy Gunna a bit...weirdly aloof these days?

It's hard to pin down exactly, but he just comes off like he doesn't really want to be there.
