Surely Moxley isn't main eventing over Swerve in his first ever show as AEW world champion? The graphic makes it look like it. They do quite often do eliminators as the opener from memory. MJF/Cole opened a Dynamite which The Elite and BCC main evented for example. Just recently Joe/Dustin main evented but only after they teased doing it as the opener. I'd guess Hobbs/Mox has a big melee after it with the BCC and Callis Family if the plan is Anarchy in the Arena between the two groups, in which case it would make sense to have Fletcher have finished his match early in the night. I think on Dynamite, unlike PPV, the main event and opener are quite interchangeable tbh, feels like we get as many memorable matches open the show as close them and there always seems to be more eyes on the start of the show for whatever reason. I think the show starting with Swerve's music hitting is a fitting way to start the night too. Not sure the graphics always mean much though, matches that look like they're the main event haven't ended up being so from what I recall, so Swerve could easily main event. I just think they might want to start the show off with their new champion being the first thing you see.

I generally feel like the opener is the more protected spot, and a new champ opening the show is something I'm used to - although I'm not sure if that's an ROH nostalgia thing (opening promo on the next show was something of a tradition for new champions) or existing AEW patterns.

From what I get there is a few importants spots. The Opener is supposed to keep new viewers through the rest of the show You need people that can keep interest in spots with two ADs And of course the main event which is what you hype through the show.

I'm looking forward to Anna Jay vs Mina Shirakawa with her very good friend and roommate Mariah in her corner.

They already said Mox vs Hobbs is the main event and Fletcher is still a big time ratings killer.

And on top of that aew have to keep njpw happy and having their belt in the main event looks better than it being defended in the opener.

I agree about the opener being important but optics matter and Swerve is the world champion, not Moxley. Personally I'd have him open with a promo AND close with the match
