🧨🎃10/27 AEW Dynamite thread: Halloween Bedlam

[Bang Bang Bart]

It's Wednesday Night. You know what that means.

Dynamite makes its return to Wednesdays tonight at 8/7c on TNT (live on both coasts), TSN, and Fite. Featuring a wild Halloween-themed eight-man tag match, another World Title Eliminator match, a big TBS Title Tournament match, and CM Punk's Dynamite debut, here's what's in store for tonight:

Such a stacked show IMO.

- Deeb/Shida: holy shit, ‘nuff said.

- Cant wait to see the costumes in the 8-man tag, that should be a lot of fun.

- My boy 10’s ded but I’ll mark for him.

- Guevara vs Page should be awesome. Hopefully a great showing for both.

- Punk’s Dynamite debut.

So Silver will dress up like Bambi?

This is a pretty, "If I catch it on it'll probably be pretty good, if I've got something else going on at the time I'm not going to drop it to watch," card to me. Lot that sounds good but nothing that's really screaming I need to see it.

Happy to have Dynamite back on Wednesdays when I can actually watch it live! Absolutely stacked card tonight, thinking Shida vs Deeb is going to be the easy match of the night.

Bray no compete clause expires this Friday.

I have the feeling Shida is going to win tonight because(like I said in the TBS thread) it would also be foolish doing a heel vs heel match given how clunky Nyla vs Britt was.

Seeing as Rampage will be taped after Dynamite, I doubt he'll be there live tonight, but they could always just do a pretape.

I will let you know if this is finally the time DO wins against the elite because if it does,I will very likely make a thread titled FINALLY but I wouldnt keep my hopes up

Since Kenny dressed as Sans when he was a face on the first AEW Halloween show, this time he'll come out dressed as Genocide Run Frisk or Chara

The Bucks come out dressed like their expensive shoes

Adam Cole dresses up as BUDGE

There's a chance that The Dark Order defeats The Elite via Hangman Page interference, I'd like to see that happen.

Nakazawa gets confused and comes out dressed as Genocide Jack.

At least that would be some progress for Dark Order in their numerous matches against The Elite.  

[Dr. Bolty, Disaster Enby]

I have a hard time seeing Dark Order winning mainly because I have a hard time seeing this as Adam Cole's first loss of any kind. AEW has a way of parceling out "first" wins over protected heels (see: MJF, who took his first loss in a tag match, before taking his first pin to Moxley via match-exclusive shenanigans, then taking a pin to Jericho only after getting a dirty pin on him in the same match), which puts the odds a little more in DO's favor, but the build feels like it's heading toward a collapse of the Super Elite where Adam Cole is the one guy who still hasn't lost. Also, Cole is more enmeshed in a feud with Jungle Boy and Christian, and it seems like he'd stay undefeated until one of them is able to get one over on him.

[Lizuka #BLM]

I very much doubt the Dark Order's winning myself mostly because doing it right now doesn't really make sense with the narrative they're positioning? If it were that the Elite is crumbling right now then sure, it'd make sense to put Kenny on edge, but it feels a lot more like (Bucks having lost the tag titles aside since they don't seem to care anyway) they're kind of supposed to be at their peak with Cole in the fold. It'd make more sense for their big defeat as a group to come after Hangman puts the first major crack in the armor of the group by slaying Kenny.

But on the flip side if the Dark Order's never going to actually win then they really need to just stop making the damn match. Then again this is the group where during what was supposed to be their peak while they had the TNT title they lost to a guy who wasn't even on the payroll for no reason.

Dark Order will likely do what they do best

I’m fine w/ The Elite winning but think DO gets it to signify a changing of the tides.

If Dark Order loses: I see it being a turning point for them in getting a new leader soon. Maybe Bray.

If Dark order wins: It makes sense for The Elite to get knocked down a peg. Especially if Hangman gets involved.

[Bo Rida]

Serena Vs Shida is one of the more interesting first round matches I can remember seeing in a tournament.

I think there's a good chance The Elite dress as Hangman and Dark Order and lose by their mockery backfiring, a botched buckshot or similar.
The real question would be if Cutler and Nak dress as Anna Jay or a horse.

I still think you can push the "Never been pinned" route with Cole even if he loses an eight man. Danielson lost an Eight Man already and he is still pushed as undefeated.
