AEW looked like it had lots of fun in Canada, but it’s back in the U.S. tonight for Dynamite (and a Collision taping) in Worcester, Mass. That’s the city whose ‘ce’ are basically silent, but it should be a loud crowd for a slate that looks like it will help get more of AEW Dynasty locked and loaded.
Can Will Ospreay defeat a much bigger and stronger Will?
We’re embarrassed to say we almost didn’t get why Don Callis was calling the battle between Will Ospreay and Powerhouse Hobbs “A Battle of Wills” at first. It’s just that hardly anyone calls Hobbs by his first name on the air any more, but once we remembered that, it was “well played, sir” to the head of the Family.
Ospreay has already defeated Konosuke Takeshita and Kyle Fletcher, so he’s basically going for a sweep of his ostensible teammates here. It’s almost like we the viewers realize he’s not right for the heel stable but no one in the production has figured it out yet. Maybe the light bulb moment will happen while we’re enjoying Ospreay working against yet another opponent with a different style.
What will happen when Samoa Joe and Swerve Strickland sign to face each other at Dynasty?
Swerve Strickland earned the right to challenge for the AEW World Championship again. Samoa Joe, holder of that title, isn’t super thrilled about that. Something has to give, and it probably will when they have their contract signing tonight in Worcester.
Swerve and Joe are great on the mic so even if they just trade insults this should be entertaining, but don’t we all want to see them throw hands? To quote “Godzilla” (2014), “let them fight.”
