I'm thinking like a 7? The opening and closing were very good which elevates it but the rest of the show was very meh. Nice to see Jade be vulnerable for once though.

An 8/10:
Darby vs. Brody was incredibly fun. And that finish was creative AF.
The tag match was bonkers as well.
Miro has legendary willpower to turn down hot goth cheerleader. I salute you sir.
I hope that that backstage segment means that they will really push Toni soon.
Jade vs. Madison was, solid enough. But can they PLEASE get to the point with Jade now? It’s repetitive at this point and they dragged it out for so long that now Kris is injured. Just let Athena beat her.
The ME was very fun, and Punk’s return was perfect. The man is a STAR! Biggest match in AEW history incoming imo.

Show was in the high 7’s for me but that Main Event bumped it to a 9. Not personally happy about Punk being back but that’s the ideal situation.

8.
The Coffin Match was a fun opener. Got a bit clunky with the interference but was fun.
The Lucha Tag was a lot of fun and LFI got a big win they needed. Plus Rush and Andrade both drip swag
Main event was awesome. Mox showed why he is a beast and Jericho proved he still is great after a lot of people turned on him from Fyter Fest
I actually didn't think the TBS match was bad at all. A little sloppy at times (and that seems to happen when Jade wrestles someone a lot smaller than her. Just seems to be a bit too much of a size issue for some spots
Ricky's spear was amazing.
The clunkiness took score down a bit but a very good show. With Punk back it makes ALL OUT a must watch

8/10 for me. A few rough/sloppy bits and JR was especially grating, but also the best finish to a coffin/casket match I've ever seen, and a really fun main event.

Quake by the Lake was great, so it gets an eight.

Heel Anna Jay can be awesome. But I’m not feeling her character so far.
She worked as Brodie’s cold blooded Queenslayer.
This is trying way too hard to be “wacky crazy.” And it came out of nowhere. She went from normal to, this, in like two weeks?

Easy 10 for me with the opener, main event, and post match. Fired up for All Out.

I'll go with an 8. Alright middle sandwiched between hot beginning and end. Loved the main event.

8 out of 10, IMHO. I'm not sure about Jericho's win but otherwise, it was great.

Do have to say this show is really a good demonstration of how much AEW overdoes it on interference because of six matches five of them had run-ins and the one that didn't was under a minute long.

That was a great show despite missing the first 8 minutes due to Fite being busted.

9 for me, really great show. I feel like these last 3 weeks is the best run Dynamite has had since last year between All Out and Grand Slam. The pacing, the story advancement, the match quality, its all been phenomenal since they moved beyond trying to promote ROH and NJPW stuff alongside AEW. When they purely focus on AEW, this show tends to be great.

9/10. Fantastic episode of tv. Great wrestling mix of hardcore, lucha craziness and big main event match feel. And Punk's return was very well done and felt like a huge moment.
And very well paced, everything had enough room to breathe, which is my main gripe with AEW television most weeks. So gotta give em props this week for nailing it.

Went with a 9. The middle dragged a bit and the Jade/Madison match wasn't exactly a clinic but Darby vs Brody, Lucha Bros vs Faccion Ingobernable and Mox vs Jericho were all great in different ways. And the post-match angle for the main event...goddamn what a pop.

Solid 8/10 for me, really enjoyed the opener with Darby vs. Brody King and the main event with Moxley vs. Jericho.

9. Great opener, good middle, great main event and I wasn't expecting the Punk return.
