How did NXT fare against AEW in terms of quality this week? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
Here are the five biggest news stories from this week's episode of AEW Dynamite (November 4, 2020).
Trending
#5: MJF unleashed his brutal side and brushed off Chris Jericho's false perception of him on AEW Dynamite
As much as MJF wanted to join The Inner Circle, Chris Jericho and his allies thought he was too soft to hang with Jericho's crew.
But MJF proved Jericho wrong by putting on a relentless performance when he teamed up with Wardlow to face Sammy Guevara and Ortiz of The Inner Circle. The tables turned when Matt Hardy tossed a chair at Guevara from ringside.
MJF capitalized on this opportunity and locked his submission maneuver on Ortiz, forcing him to tap out. After the match, MJF pounced on Jericho near the commentary table as well.
Jericho's commentary work throughout the night was great, as expected. He even reminded viewers that MJF would never join The Inner Circle at the very end of this week's AEW Dynamite. Guevara attacked Matt Hardy later in the night, and fans can't wait to see what will go down in the Elite Deletion Match between these two at AEW Full Gear.
MJF and Chris Jericho's storyline has drawn mixed reactions, thanks to a few bold and risky segments. But at its core, Jericho vs. MJF's premise is still an interesting story heading into this Saturday's pay-per-view.
#4: Miro made his singles debut on AEW Dynamite
Miro is slowly moving up the ranks on AEW Dynamite, as The Best Man made his one-on-one debut on this week's episode.
Miro's feud against Trent over a broken video game resulted in a singles match between both personalities. One may have thought that Miro would make quick work of Trent to establish his dominance as a Bulgarian monster, but Trent put up a valiant fight against Miro.
The Dark Order got involved thanks to Orange Cassidy's presence near ringside, but it didn't affect Miro and Trent's matchup in a huge way. Cassidy is scheduled to face John Silver of the Dark Order at AEW Full Gear, and it should be an entertaining match, given that both characters exhibit their silly traits every now and then.
After Miro defeated Trent, he cut a post-match promo alongside Kip Sabian. Orange Cassidy wiped out Miro and Sabian with a top-rope dive to shut them up.
After AEW Full Gear, fans may very well get to witness a feud between Miro and Orange Cassidy as a result of what went down on this week's AEW Dynamite.
#3: Austin Gunn made his AEW Dynamite debut; Cody Rhodes sent a message to Darby Allin before their Full Gear encounter
Gunn Club (Billy and Austin Gunn) has been quite impressive on AEW Dark, and the father-son duo finally got to wrestle on a bigger showcase during this week's AEW Dynamite.
WWE Hall of Famer Billy Gunn has occasionally wrestled on AEW Dynamite in the past. But it was Billy's son, Austin, who made his Dynamite debut this week.
Gunn Club teamed up with Cody Rhodes to take on the Dark Order in a standard main event. It was Austin Gunn who picked up an impressive victory for his team.
After the match, Cody cut a defiant promo against Darby Allin, who was scouting Cody from the bleachers. Darby has a very unique and edgy appeal to the AEW audience. Even if his dark and broody presence may not seem like ideal traits for a television champion, Cody assured that TNT would love being represented by Allin.
But at AEW Full Gear, Cody Rhodes aims to prove that he is the true ace of the company and not Darby Allin.
#2: Hangman Page and Kenny Omega rescued The Young Bucks from FTR's ambush; The Elite to become a stronger faction on AEW Dynamite soon?
While Cody has launched his own Nightmare Family label in AEW, thereby distancing himself from The Elite, other members of the babyface faction went on their separate paths not too long ago.
But AEW subtly hinted towards a future where Hangman Page and Kenny Omega may re-join The Young Bucks in the long run. After Matt and Nick Jackson defeated Private Party in a tag team match, they were jumped by the AEW World Tag Team Champions, FTR.
Hangman Page and Kenny Omega arrived to ensure that no further damage could be done to The Young Bucks. Still, there was a certain amount of tension between Page and Omega since both of them are set to face each other at AEW Full Gear with the World Title opportunity at stake.
As for the AEW World Tag Team Championship scenario, Matt and Nick Jackson must defeat FTR at Full Gear, no matter what it takes. The match itself will most likely be a treat to watch for AEW fans. But there are additional stakes in place thanks to a stipulation that will force The Young Bucks to step down from the AEW World Title scene if they lose.
#1: Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston were involved in an intense face-to-face AEW segment that stole the show
Unlike most of Jon Moxley's AEW opponents, Eddie Kingston brings something unique to the table in terms of storytelling and promos.
Kingston may not be the most threatening challenger to step up to Jon Moxley, but he has one of the strongest backstories with the AEW World Champion, compared to the majority of Moxley's feuds that came before this one.
This week, every aspect of Kingston and Moxley's story surfaced in an intense confrontation, where words spoke louder than actions, for a change of pace.
Kingston had promised to bring the AEW World Title home to his mother, but him possibly failing to live up to that promise was brought up by Moxley this week.
Kingston highlighted how the AEW World Champion left him behind to enter the land of sports entertainment (WWE), but this point alone wasn't strong enough to stop Moxley from getting the better of his opponent on the microphone last night.
This segment was the perfect way to establish that Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston's I Quit Match has bigger consequences at stake for both participants.
