AE Double Back - The AEW Dynamite Recap Show

Rating: 92% Must Watch

When Tony Khan ends up on the legends circuit hawking signed headshots for $25, hopefully he has the presence of mind to let people pay extra to throw money disdainfully at him like the Young Bucks after a superkick. That’s GOLD RIGHT THERE.

See? Look! There’s Matt Hardy! He’s totally fine! He didn’t have a concussion! That dizziness, vomiting, and passing out are totally normal things that people without concussions do!

Most of you probably won’t understand, but please just try it. Use “manvantage” in your daily life. It’s a wonderful word and it deserves greater recognition.

This episode has lawnmowers, sexy garbage, and the line “Big Andy plays guitar” - which is almost certainly a Jim Croce lyric. What more could you want?

Genghis Khan, Castro, Napoleon … and now, Brodie Lee. History’s greatest heels!

Tag Team Appreciation Night, shockingly, ends with some tag teams not being adequately appreciated! The nerve! Also, if you’re not singing “Oh I’ve haaaad the time of my life!” after this, you’re dead inside.

Too many options to pick from for episode titles this week because Jericho dropped bomb after gloriously snarky bomb like the DEMO GOD he is!

The Orange/Jericho debate was wonderful, yes - but so was the MJF campaign segment! And Samy and Hardy! And *two* Dark Order matches and we haven’t even made it to the transcendent massacre that was Mox vs. Darby Allin! Wall-to-wall entertainment, y’all. Wall. To. Wall.

It's mayhem over there in Daily's Place! We've got styrofoam chests everywhere! There are skateboards with tacks! And ... is that ... CAT PEE, TONY!

The Dark Order's running wild, brother! And so is MJF, whose pipe bomb promo is really more like one of those $49.99 packs of fireworks you get from that church stand on the corner? Not a lot of damage, but a delight to watch nonetheless. What more could you ask for?

THUMBTACKS! That’s a hell of a way to start a show and it’s not even the grossest part (Jericho’s been wearing that OJ-soaked jacket all week?!). MJF, the Inner Circle, Diamante vs. Ivelisse are all big standouts this week. One segment even got the rare spectrum vote - where one person votes thumbs up, one in the middle, and one down. Which is it? And why does it involve cutting meat?

Fight For the Fallen is here, but I tell you what, I feel like I'm fallin' for the fightin'!

[muffled cough from the otherwise silent audience]

Aaaaanyway, there's tons of great stuff this episode - Sonny busts out so many splits, Cody must've thought he was in a Baskin-Robbins; FTR has car trouble; Ny- excuse me! - Nyl- EXCUSE ME! - Nyla rose gets the perfect mouthpiece; and Mox and Cage ends with a classic AEW finish and the return of the Wheeled One. Come get some!
