6 Ups & 3 Downs From AEW Dynamite (November 1 - Results & Review)
5. Elegant Plotting
Throughout the night, MJF wandered the backstage area in an attempt to resolve his dilemma. He sought partners ahead of his eight-man tag main event against Bullet Club Gold, and his rivals sought him, in a decent enough show-long storyline that was hardly Jerry Jarrett-tier. More of this is welcome without straying too far away from the sporting, fixtures-based framework. Or what's left of it, anyway.
Roderick Strong continued his descent into caricature by offering his services to MJF. The Acclaimed continued to court him. In an intriguing glimpse into a continuing story, MJF knocked on Kenny Omega's locker room door but was rebuffed by Chris Jericho. MJF muttering "as*hole" was a neat nod to their very long past. Wardlow then terrorised MJF by threatening to attack him when he least expected it. Later in the night, MJF picked the Acclaimed following a half-decent sight gag in which, faced with Jeff Jarrett and his cronies luring him back to the dark side, he felt he had no choice.
Good, organic-feeling world-building and continuity, even if the mystery itself wasn't greatly compelling.
