Kenny winning the world title with the help of Don Callis and then saying he was going to Impact was pretty shocking.
Hangman and Danielson going the full hour in their match was as well.
Cody bumping through a flaming table happened on TV. I don't think anyone expected him to do that.

If you actually predicted Action Andretti pinning Jericho, I need you to choose my lottery numbers.

Kenny Omega vs Brian Danielson being an hour draw I think shocked the f*** out of everyone, especially because it was Danielson's first match in the company.

Also I think a ton of people saw the draw coming from a mile away since Danielson wasn't going to lose on his debut and Kenny wasn't going to lose a non title without giving Bryan a title match

Not including debuts, but it always feels like AEW is fairly predictable on what is going to happen. Dynamite is always a fun watch, but it's rarely been a "must watch" if that makes sense. Action and Jericho is one time I have been really shocked in a positive manner instead of perplexed

The exploding barbwire match not exploding was pretty shocking for all the wrong reasons

Orange Cassidy defeating Jericho in their first one on one encounter Brodie Lee wiping the floor with Cody in like 5 minutes to win the TNT title The Pinnacle's formation at the end of an episode of Dynamite where they laid out the Inner Circle Sammy beating Miro for the TNT title Great Muta coming out to save Sting and then team with him against the HoB Saraya's debut at Grand Slam Hook defeating Starks for the FTW title and then Hobbs turning on him Danhausen's debut The Bucks winning the tag titles off Jurassic Express (i know it was an audible but still) Plus all the other stuff mentioned. I'm probably forgetting loads too. Brodie squashing Cody was what I was going to bring up.... not that Brodie won, but the fact he just destroyed him in less than 5 minutes. I thought that was amazing!

- The Young Bucks losing to Private Party in the Tag title tournament - Don Callis helping Omega win the AEW World title and announce that they will be on Impact - The Announcement of Forbidden Door - The Announcement of TK buying ROH - Malakai Black squashing Cody - Shida beating Toni Storm for the Women World Title - Statlander popping up in the crane machine - Archer beating Moxley for the NJPW US title - Hangman vs Danielson and Omega vs Danielson - 30/60 minutes draws - Even though it was a debut - No one knew that Saraya was showing up at Grand Slam - Takeshita beating Omega - OC beating Pac for the International title - Hook beating Starks for the FTW title and then Hobbs turning on Starks - Hangman rejoining The Elite - we knew it would happen eventually, but no one thought it would be that night - The Acclaimed winning the tag titles at Grand Slam - Brian Cage powerbombing Sting - remember the discussion about Sting being fragile and how dangerous that was. lol Also this The entire Adam Cole and MJF Storyline has been both a surprise and completely unpredictable from the jump.

Daniel Garcia beating Bryan Danielson. That was an upset. By which I mean it upset me to watch it.

Him saying he was going to go beat this jobber telegraphed it for me, but probably not so surely that I would have put money on it. Yeah I thought it felt telegraphed too. Similar to when wrestling companies randomly start declaring 5 minutes left in a match having not bothered for months or even years then *shock* we get a time limit draw. I'm fairness to AEW they have had loads of surprises in terms of results, turns etc.

No rival costing him the match or some kind of fluke. Honestly wouldn't mind if Jericho brought AA under his wing and started to mentor him the same way he has Sammy. Might help him develop character and improve all together.
