9 Ups & 2 Downs From AEW Dynamite: Winter Is Coming (Dec 2)

The Young Bucks The acclaimed
AEW

While nothing blowaway, The Young Bucks' backstage interview and beatdown by The Hybrid 2 was a neat bit of business to dollop extra heat on next week's tag clash.

The Jacksons pointed out that while they were fighting champions, Angelico and Jack Evans are unranked and don't deserve a shot at the World Tag Team Titles yet, offering to give them one if they're able to better the Bucks next week. In walked The Acclaimed. Max Caster rapped about d*cks, which he does a lot these days, providing the necessary distraction for TH2 to jump the Bucks and beat on them until SoCal Uncensored made the save.

As well as building to the Bucks vs. TH2, AEW established The Acclaimed's new relationships with SCU and the Jacksons here, as well as aligning them with the challengers. That's deft.
