“AEW Dynamite” was once again loaded with plenty to talk about. After this week, extremely thrilling possibilities have started to develop.
Wednesday’s show featured several of AEW’s numerous champions. Some even lost their titles, while others continued their reigns of terror — or got a night off like AEW Women’s World champ Mariah May. The latter was no bueno, but not every swing will be a hit.
With that in mind, we could be on the cusp of history. I can see it now.
Let’s fantasy book greatness …
Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay are two of the greatest wrestlers the world has ever known. That goes without saying, right? As much as we’d love to see an extension of their all-time great matches they’ve already had — with each other and anyone else that steps in the ring with them — they’re about to team up.
I’m revisiting memories of the incredible story involving The Elite and Hangman Adam Page that crescendoed with the latter’s big world title victory. It was one of the greatest stories in recent wrestling history, and we can be headed in a similar direction with Ospreay in that Hangman role this time.
Now, hear me out. I’m not suggesting completely recycling, but some incredible intertwining can be done.
Omega and Ospreay’s history with The Don Callis family is their first order of business, as Omega refused to trust “The Aerial Assassin” until they had to beat the squad around the whole damn arena to start the show. Throwing Lance Archer through a merch table and hitting moonsaults in the stands will bring men together. The pair will have their first match as a team against Konosuke Takeshita and Kyle Fletcher at Grand Slam. Get ready to break out the freaking hose for that one because I smell a treat cooking.
When The Hurt Syndicate’s Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin first teamed in AEW a couple of weeks ago, I instantly wanted to see them become a dominant force as champions — because that wouldn’t be difficult to book for them. WWE couldn’t utilize Benjamin this well all of the past decade. I foreshadowed it and will pat myself on the back as the dynamic duo battered the AEW Tag Team champions, Private Party, in the night’s opening match to become the new titleholders.
Who the hell can realistically beat them? There’s no one right now who should be able to. Have Omega and Ospreay be the ones, build to a crazy feud against Lashley and Benjamin — then the returning Young Bucks. Omega and Ospreay dealing with The Don Callis Family gives everything time to breathe and play out naturally with this great timing.
The possibilities are endless here, and matches between Omega and Ospreay against practically any tag team are ludicrous in the best way. The thought of them against Matt and Nick Jackson excites me beyond belief. We need it.
