8 Ups & 3 Downs From AEW Dynamite (4 October - Results & Review)
6. A Good Match...Eventually
Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega Vs. Konosuke Takeshita and substitute Kyle Fletcher took a while to get going - going through two commercial breaks was probably unnecessary - but it turned into a damn good match. Nothing much at all happened in the first half beyond the story beats unfolding in the traditional, correct order.
Takeshita and Fletcher did display excellent chemistry by nailing the landing of a concurrent Michinoku driver and Blue Thunder bomb at the exact same time. After that, though, Omega Vs. The Callis Family heated up nicely. In a fun slapstick spot, Take dragged Fletcher's prone body over to the corner in an attempt to tag himself in. Omega dragged him back over to the middle of the ring, flipping Take off as he went. The action broke down (and heated up) in signature AEW tag division fashion.
Omega sprinted knee-first into Take's back with his ever-impressive V-trigger before blasting him with a snap dragon. Capping off a match familiar in layout but stellar in execution, Jericho and Omega debuted an excellent double-team finish. Jericho hit Fletcher with the Codebreaker, who then stumbled, dazed, into the One-Winged Angel. That ruled. The idea behind the OWA is that it is difficult to set up but is worth the struggle, with its all-but 100% success rate. The Codebreaker is the perfect assist. Jericho and Omega go 2-0 up in tag team action as, intriguingly, the Young Bucks circle the titles.
And then...
