9 Ups & 5 Downs From AEW Dynamite (Aug 12)

8. No-Brainer

Kenny Omega Hangman Page
AEW

Kenny Omega and Hangman Page's Tag Team Appreciation segment was a clear step up from the others, primarily because they were actually given time to build something.

'The Cleaner' treated the question of who his favourite tag team of all time is like it was a no-brainer. "The Young Bucks," he answered. It was quick and easy for him, considering all they've done in the sport, calling Matt and Nick Jackson the "gods of tag team wrestling."

This deflated Page, as it should have. Hangman is central to the Elite's ongoing civil war. Though he and Kenny are closer than the rest of the stable, flashes like this keep their friction simmering away. It'll all add up once the situation finally boils over.
