7 Ups & 3 Downs From AEW Dynamite (September 27 - Results & Review)

6. Rey Fenix Vs Jeff Jarrett

Jeff Jarrett

Another late addition to the Dynamite brought about much celebration in your writer's house, and seemingly just the right amount of dread in Broomfield, Colorado.

In his accepting an International Championship open challenge, Jeff Jarrett reminded Tony Khan that he'd won over 85 titles and was more than ready to add one more to the collection. In the match itself, he did everything he could to try and make it happen. Not quite taking the Champion to "Lucha School" as promised before the show, Jarrett nonetheless probably taught the titleholder a few new tricks about how to get easy heat when the pace slows.

A perfect blend of Fenix's dazzling offence and Team Jarrett's rampant pantomime cheating, this was the AEW buffet still proffering the best delights all of four years deep into television wrestling. 'The Last Outlaw' absolutely should have milked the Stroke kick-out in all his now-traditional "I'm going to win a title" fist-pumping glory, but beyond that? No notes. Fenix is off and running, and will have plenty of that to do next week in a contest that couldn't be further away from this one.

That is, and remains, the very definition of what All Elite Wrestling still is.
