I didn't see Fenix's arm but guessing it's not great way people are talking about it. Kind of wondering if he should think about calling it a career because he seems to get hurt constantly lately. He is a bit injury prone for sure, but that was just a freak accident. His arm got pinned under the table because it shattered way more than I think they expected. I don't know if I'd even call him injury prone. Wade Barrett is a guy who was injury prone, Fenix is just a) often unlucky and b) very very reckless with how he takes some bumps

Also have to say I appreciate them taking their time with Christian's heel turn as a massive mark for his face work for lots of reasons I'd rather they take their time getting to Jungle Boy vs. Christian Cage than bursting into it ASAP.
(yes I realize I said that like last July but let this story simmer)

AEW Dynamite 1/5/2022
AEW World Title - Adam Page (c) vs Bryan Danielson
This is what the first match should have been. They bled and were violent with each other with lots of headbutts which fit the first match story better. This one would have made more sense as the technical classic though. Nonetheless, it wasn't a bad match and worked better than the first one.
MJF vs Shawn Dean
CM Punk immediately came out to go after MJF after saying he didn't care about MJF anymore last week. Punk then hit Dean with the Go to Sleep and MJF was DQ'd. This made no sense. Why did the match start when MJF wasn't in the ring and Punk was?
They argued on the mic after and MJF said he thought Punk was done with him. MJF ripped Punk for not main eventing a Wrestlemania and said if the fans don't respect him, he might main event a Mania too. Punk then said he wanted to beat him up. MJF teased taking on Punk in a match next week but then it would be Wardlow instead next week. Punk then agreed to that match for no real reason.
Chris Jericho came out to talk. He said he didn't come out last week to save Eddie, but to get revenge on 2.0. 2.0 came out and he called them Terrance and Phillip. Jericho called them squarehead and pinhead. Daniel Garcia helped jump Jericho and the Inner Circle and Eddie Kingston made the save. This was not good.
Wardlow vs Antonio Zambrano
Just a squash that existed to push the Wardlow face turn angle.
AEW TBS Championship - Jade Cargill vs Ruby Soho
This wasn't good. It went too long and Ruby did not make Jade look good at all. I don't mind them doing it because Jade isn't going to get better if she doesn't work longer matches, but the process isn't always the most fun to watch. Ruby also looked like an idiot hurting herself more on the shotgun dropkick than she did Jade.
Malakai Black vs Brian Pillman Jr.
Black won with a spinning high kick. This was a dud that was mostly taken over by a commercial. Black teased going after Julia Hart but the Lucha Bros came out to stop it and Black teleported out. This was atleast the 4th teleport in AEW history after Shaq, The Elite in the trailer and Darby at one point.
Ruby was interviewed by Tony then Britt Baker and her crew ran in. Ruby got jumped and Riho saved her.
AEW World Tag Titles - The Lucha Brothers vs Jungle Express
I thought it should be noted that J-E won two whole matches since September and one was a squash.
They did a stupid spot where all 4 men were hooked on each other and one from each team ran up the ropes, sat down and flipped the other person into an armdrag. JB hit a diving canadian destroyer here which only was worth 2, of course. Saurus then got his with one that was only worth 2. The lights went out while JB was about to get destroyed then JB kicked out of a springboard double stomp package piledriver. Alex set a able up outside and Christian chased him. Saurus chokeslammed Rey through the table off the apron and it looked like Rey broke his arm in it. JB then won with a reversal out of a Made in Japan out of nowhere to win the titles. Some of the tag teams came out after on the stage to stare them down.
This was awful and sloppy. The lights randomly went out. Rey Fenix likely got hurt and Jurassic Express winning the titles with no real story to it on a random episode of Dynamite ruined JB's first title win.
Overall thoughts: I liked the world title match though I wouldn't say it was a MOTY or anything like that. Everything after that sucked though. The Punk/MJF segment sucked, the Jericho segment sucked, Jade sucked, Black teleporting sucked and the main sucked, got someone injured and was a waste of JB's first title win.

Having more titles doesn't mean anything. Inconsistent booking: The Deeb/Riho feud is in very strange limbo. Britt dominates the entire division. So many other problems too that I've explained many times on this board. Deeb and Shida are wrestling next week on the card, I dont call that a limbo I get Britt being on top is a major problem for some here, but I really dont think she's holding the belt much longer. They are but after how long? Also, I get that it's good to pace out a feud but this has been going on for seemingly forever.

Wade Barrett is a guy who was injury prone, Fenix is just a) often unlucky and b) very very reckless with how he takes some bumps Yeah, I saw a vid of a Lucha Bros match in Impact on their FB page and there was a spot of him just literally diving head first off a ladder onto the ring high steel ramp.

I dont know how long they're gonna go for, but imo they're two of the best workers in the division so... if it leads to a possible Ironwoman match or something Im good, I like rivalries boiling over time if it leads to a point. If Deeb wins it's an even 2-2 series which I think sets up the definitive clash.

Granted of course they are, I just dont think I've ever seen a writeup from that account that's been anything but the show sucking, to each their own I guess.

To their credit, at least AEW took that clip off their Twitter

Bryan Alvarez is reporting now that, somehow, Fenix arm is not broken. Just badly dislocated.
