Say this about AEW: Tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite has both an AEW World Championship title eliminator and a TNT Championship match, and neither is the top talking point ahead of the show. You might have heard about what is …
What will the Young Bucks say about the CM Punk-Jack Perry backstage footage from All In London?
AEW’s decision to show video of the altercation that led to Punk’s firing and Perry’s suspension is intriguing in its own right. All indications are that it’s legit, and Tony Khan is being up front about it, telling SI this week that airing it is a matter of “driving interest for Dynamite and our Dynasty pay-per-view on April 21.”
Almost lost in the shuffle of wondering whether it will make Punk look bad or help Perry return as a monster heel is the fact that the Young Bucks are presenting the footage. Considering that Matthew and Nicholas Jackson are currently playing devious heels that blur the line between their real responsibilities and in-ring ambitions, one can only imagine what they’re going to bring to the whole affair.
It’s almost certain to be a can’t-miss segment.
Will Dustin become the second Rhodes to win a world championship this year?
OK, no one really believes Dustin Rhodes is about to beat the AEW World Champion right now, but the thing about the Natural is that he’s got the knack for making you believe once the bell rings. If he can do it against Samoa Joe, who’s been a monster champ so far, it will be that much more impressive.
Oh, and there’s no way Swerve Strickland just sits back and takes this all in without finding some way to cause some chaos, right? Maybe he finds a way to help Rhodes earn a shot.
