AEW Dynamite from Norfolk gave Tim and Dug plenty to like, and plenty to question.

They break down Chris Jericho vs. Nick Wayne and why the match worked better than expected, while wondering why AEW needed to make Nick’s necklace such a major part of the story. They also look at Thekla’s continued rise, Mercedes Moné being ruled out of All Out, and why Willow Nightingale vs. Thekla may actually be the more interesting direction.

Plus: Brody King’s excellent in-ring instincts, The Demand looking like a legitimate threat, Jack Perry calling out Samoa Joe, Jamie Hayter vs. Lena Kross making a case for Match of the Night, and whether the Brawling Birds need help finding their voice in promos.

Then it’s all about the main event as the Death Riders battle United Empire. The wrestling delivered, but did Jon Moxley’s post-match attack move his character backward and undermine the brewing tension within the Death Riders?

Tim and Dug also name their Match of the Night and the best overall segment from Dynamite.
