AEW Dynamite Results: Forbidden Door Fallout & Arena Residency
Okay, here’s a breakdown of the provided wrestling results, focusing on key takeaways and potential storylines. I’ll organize it by match,then add some overall thoughts.
Match 1: The Opps (Joe, Liona, Kaun) vs. Ricochet & G.O.A. (Shibata, Ricochet)
Result: The Opps retain the AEW Trios Titles via submission (Joe’s Coquina Clutch on Ricochet).
Key Moments:
Hobbs dominates early, showcasing his power.
Ricochet gets isolated and worked over, a common tactic in trios matches.
Hot tag to hobbs leads to a brawl with Liona.
MVP interference: This is huge. MVP costing Ricochet the match is a notable development. It clearly establishes a connection between The Opps and MVP/The Hurt Syndicate. The finish emphasizes Joe’s submission skills.
Storyline Implications:
The Opps continue their reign: They remain a dominant force in the trios division.
ricochet/G.O.A. Feud Continues: While they lost, the match keeps them relevant.
The Hurt Syndicate/Opps Alliance: The MVP interference is the biggest story. This suggests a formal alliance or at least a working agreement. This is a major power shift.
Ricochet’s Isolation: Ricochet is left alone post-match, highlighting his vulnerability and potentially setting up a future storyline where he needs allies.
Lashley & Benjamin Involvement: Their post-match brawl with The Opps solidifies their alignment with The Hurt Syndicate.Match 2: Claudio Castagnoli vs. Darby Allin (Falls Count Anywhere)
Result: Darby Allin defeats Claudio Castagnoli.
Key Moments:
Brutal,chaotic brawl from the start. Castagnoli uses his power to inflict significant damage (TV through the barricade, Giant Swing into the barricade).
Allin uses his agility and willingness to take risks (Coffin Drop from a beam).
Castagnoli attempts a similar move to Forbidden Door, driving Allin through the announce table.
Storyline Implications:
allin’s Return: Accomplished return to TV after a significant injury angle.The win is a good way to re-establish him.
Castagnoli/Kidd/Moxley Build: The write-up explicitly states this is a stepping stone for Allin to get to Moxley, with Gabe Kidd as an obstacle. This is a clear path for future matches.
Eddie kingston’s Absence: The crowd’s reaction to chanting for Kingston is notable. It shows his popularity and suggests a potential return is desired.AEW is acknowledging the fans’ desire for Kingston.
overall Thoughts & Potential Future Directions:
The Hurt Syndicate is a Major Player: The MVP interference is the most significant development. They are clearly positioning The Hurt Syndicate as a major force in AEW, and their alliance with The Opps makes them even more risky.
Building to Moxley: The Allin/Castagnoli match is a clear setup for a feud with Moxley, with Kidd as an intermediary.
Kingston’s Return: AEW is playing with the audience’s desire for kingston’s return, which is a smart way to build anticipation.
Ricochet’s Position: Ricochet is being positioned as a sympathetic figure, potentially needing to find allies to combat The Hurt Syndicate and The Opps. Strong Emphasis on Physicality: Both matches were described as brutal and physical, which is a hallmark of AEW’s style.Let me know if you’d like me to elaborate on any of these points or analyze specific aspects of the show in more detail!
