AEW Dynamite: Results, grades, and highlights for October 30, 2019

Peter Avalon came out, shushing the crowd. He cut a promo about how horrible North Carolina was. Moxley walked out through the crowd to a massive pop, and he came into the ring and murdered Avalon. This was fantastic. Mox grabbed a mic and talked about how the match was an unsanctioned match.

Mox was mad that officially the match didn’t count as it was unsanctioned. This made Moxley angry as he didn’t want AEW to limit him and that they would be embarrassed if he beat Omega. Moxley said that he wasn’t stupid and that they can shove their win/loss record if that’s the case. He said he was unsanctionable, and that they haven’t seen anything yet. He promised that Kenny Omega’s blood would be on AEW’s hands. He had a message for the Turner executives “Kiss my a** and stay out of my way.” INCREDIBLE PROMO.

Result: SoCal Uncensored (6-3)

Rating: **** (4 stars)

This was a great title match, but it felt like it was a bit of an abrupt ending. Still excellent, and it shows that AEW is taking their tag team division seriously. SCU celebrated as the show went off the air.

Show Rating: ****1/2 (4.5 stars)

AEW did a wonderful job building to Full Gear on this PPV, providing us with a lot to think about going into it. AEW Full Gear is shaping up to be a fantastic PPV with two blow away main events in Chris Jericho vs. Cody and Kenny Omega vs. Jon Moxley. We’re also going to have Santana and Ortiz vs. the Young Bucks, and Hangman Page vs. PAC. We are probably going to find out the rest of the card next week on the go-home show. I can’t wait to see what AEW has in store.

Every single week AEW seems to coming closer and closer to finding their feet with how they produce a show, and this one was more promo heavy than usual, but it worked very well. Everything AEW did in the storytelling department felt genuine and if AEW can continue producing promos and stories like this, they are going to be fine for a long time to come. AEW has shown a commitment to making everything matter, and while they have failed in some respects, they are learning from those mistakes. I loved this show. AEW has hit another home run.
