Dynamite as the show goes off the air.
Jerome’s thoughts: This was a good match. I didn’t expect Warldow to
win. With Joe cutting off Warldow’s man bun, it’s clear that this
feud will continue. Now with Darby Allin in the mix, I expect on a
future Dynamite we could see a three way for the TNT Title.
Overall this was a very good Dynamite to end the year. The fans in
Broomfield were loud all night. Tony Khan is doing a good job of
furthering storylines and I expect with the new look and feel next
week, we could see some new storylines start up and Tony Khan i am
sure will go all out (no pun intended) to make the new era of AEW to
get fans talking.

Acclaimed and Billy Gunn taking shots at Jay Lethal and Jeff
Jarrett. The video, which AEW posted to their Twitter, can be seen
