6 Ups & 2 Downs From AEW Dynamite (June 26)

1. How they Went Off The Air

Jungle Boy's spirit and Kenny Omega's dominance as AEW World Champion should've been all the announcers were talking about as Dynamite faded to black. Instead, Jim Ross and pals focused on the 'Twist Of Fate' that Matt Hardy dished out to Christian Cage before posing with The Elite.

Why?

If AEW must book this rivalry, then they shouldn't do so at the expense of others. There was literally no call for this right at the end of the episode - Omega using complete chaos to confuse and eventually better JB was the only story AEW's commentary team needed to spotlight.

Now, rather than Jungle Boy's 'Casino Battle Royale' win at Double Or Nothing leading to a huge AEW Title opportunity, focus will shift onto Matt Hardy vs. Christian. Great. This was rather counterproductive, and it wasn't necessary either.
