6 Ups & 4 Downs From AEW Dynamite (May 29 - Results & Review)

2. The Elite & The TNT Title

It'd be grossly unfair to not put over the killer lines in this before assessing the major issues at play in the latest chapter of The Elite's hostile takeover of AEW. Matt Jackson explaining that he'd told Adam Copeland to "break a leg" and Kazuchika Okada instructing the crowd to "shut up, bitches" was laugh out loud stuff from men that often measure humour in wrestling well.

Elsewhere, this was a brutally deflating comedown from Anarchy In The Arena.

The group intended to crown Perry as Champion, and probably just should have. Instead, the segment went on to reveal Christopher Daniels as the Assistant To The Regional Manager to Tony Khan. The "Interim Executive Vice President" explained that he was making calls on behalf of the president, even though Tony Schiavone relayed a Khan edict elsewhere on the show and the man himself was there in person for Double Or Nothing. Then, before The Elite could outnumber and destroy 'The Fallen Angel" once again, The Acclaimed and Daddy Ass arrived to make the save.

The last thing a (still mostly unwelcome) corporate power struggle needed was more tiers in the hierarchy, and bang average filler combinations before the inevitable Blood & Guts pay off with bigger stars wasn't the most captivating Forbidden Door teaser.

1. TV Time With Chris Jericho

Because people get angry when he takes up TV Time you see.

Lampshading is still lampshading. Intentionally bad is still bad. "Meta" "troll" Chris Jericho is still Chris Jericho. This entire run remains for an audience of one and that one isn't even Tony Khan. Usual cadence and delivery from Jericho, a set with a tree in it, Bryan Keith officially enters the vortex, you've seen it all before even if you haven't seen it.

He wasted your precious time having to watch it so this article won't take up anymore talking about it.
