It’s another Freaky Friday (Wacky Wednesday?) where Chan and Theresa swap bodies and *she’s* is the grumpy one! It’s weird! Check it out!

Wow, this was all over the place, but most of that place was pretty great! Plenty of build for All In and … probably some build for something at All Out? Who knows?

DOUBLE RAINBOW! Which is to say, this is quite a polarizing show. There were certainly high points: the MJF and Cole segments are can’t miss; so is the Lucha Bros / BCC match. But there was a lot of filler this week and the killer was having a hard time keeping up.

This is the perfect microcosm of an AEW show. It may not be their best show, but it might be the most representative. You want to be sports entertained? Cole and MJF put on what might be their best performance EVER. You want blood? Mox gushes enough for half the roster. You want a perfunctory women's match whose length and attention borders on disrespectful to the entire division? IT'S ALL HERE

Wait, ANOTHER pay per view?
Also, real talk - we're gonna be out of town for a week or two. But if you beg hard enough on Twitter, Theresa might do a solo episode! Or I might sing 360 Bottles of Beer on the Wall, no telling how it'll shake out.

Is this the go home show? Maybe not on a technicality, which is kinda good? Because maybe Rampage can pick up the slack?

As AEW in-ring content goes, this is pretty middle-of-the-road. When it comes to goofy-ass skits though, this episode is a BANGER.

A pretty low score for a Dynamite from some pretty diehard AEW marks, but believe us when we say that, if you do nothing else, watch that women’s match. It’ll make everything else worth while.
We're taking next week off - happy holidays everyone!
