Oklahoma, AEW Dynamite is headed your way tonight. To Tulsa, to be specific, for a show that has some of the top storylines headed into Revolution colliding in some interesting ways.
Does a big trios match have the teams wrong?
At first glance, the trios match that is one of the headliners for tonight’s show is pretty straightforward. Three heels, including AEW World Champion Samoa Joe, vs. three faces, including the legend Rob Van Dam.
Simple, right?
Except recent trends suggest there are two men on the wring sides. Swerve Strickland has done some despicable things over the past year or so, but his request for Prince Nana not to interfere in his matches and the fans’ growing cheers for him suggest he’s seeing the light.
On the other side, Hangman Adam Page has been acting positively heel-like as he grows more desperate in pursuit of Joe’s title, especially when he refused to let his last match with Swerve extend for another five minutes. We’d suggest that Swerve and Hangman are already a large way into a double turn, and that should make this trios match fascinating.
Have FTR met their match in the BCC?
After feuding with the House of Black alongside Daniel Garcia, it appeared FTR might be getting their tag team mojo back. Then they decided to make enemies of the Blackpool Combat Club, which could leave them undermanned again.
Tonight in Tulsa, anyway, it appears they’ll only have to deal with Claudio Castagnoli and Jon Moxley. But man, is the word “only” doing a ton of work in that sentence. Watch and see if this battle has repercussions that extend to Collision next month.
