8 Ups & 3 Downs From AEW Dynamite (Feb 10)
7. Cool & Confident
Jungle Boy sounded confident and composed, speaking clearly as he addressed FTR in a pretaped interview with Tony Schiavone.
Good, solid, and simple wrestling storytelling here. After Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler kidnapped Marko Stunt last week, JB spoke straight down the lens, crediting Dax by saying he'd never been in a fight like that in his life and refuting the allegation that Jurassic Express had told on FTR to get them banned from the tag team battle royal.
"We wanted you right here to look you in the eyes, and when I get that opportunity, I'm going to make you my b*tch," said Jungle Boy, throwing down the gauntlet.
This is one of the best storylines in AEW at the moment for its simplicity. It feels heated and personal without being melodramatic and overblown, and AEW could do a lot worse than throwing the blow-off on the Revolution card.
