This will be remembered as a classic #AEWDynamite moment. I can easily picture this playing in intros or montages for years to come #AEWMaximumCarnage.

Davis & Doyle being heel challengers to the heel champions FTR is a really odd choice. Not optimistic about the crowd energy for that fight. #AEWDynamite #AEWMaximumCarnage

Brody King squash was great. Jon Cruz is a good little heat a machine, a little toaster oven if you will. Value on both ends there. #AEWDynamite #AEWMaximumCarnage

I really like seeing Swerve Strickland make the save for Hangman Adam Page. That was his purest save of Page yet. There was nothing in it for him when he took out Big Bill there. #AEWDynamite #AEWMaximumCarnage

Hangman Adam Page’s striking game is so strong. That part of his game remains leveled up to its current elite form ever since his dark era #AEWDynamite #AEWMaximumCarnage
