AEW Dynamite - Best and worst- 2 Massive returns, Unfortunate botch live on-air, Sting has a message for CM Punk and Darby Allin 

AEW Dynamite was a really good show, as one would expect before All Out 2021. There wasn't a weak segment to speak of, and every performer truly gave it her/his all in order to steal the show.

Objectively, there really wasn't a 'worst' on this week's show. AEW Dynamite was a breath of fresh air, especially after the trainwreck that was WWE RAW earlier in the week.

That said, one or two aspects of the show stood out like sore thumbs. Of course, this is one person's opinion only, and if you believe otherwise, you can sound off in the comments below.

#3 Best: Two Massive AEW Dynamite returns

When Penelope Ford and The Bunny teamed up to lay a beatdown on Tay Conti, we experienced the biggest surprise from tonight.

Anna Jay has returned to action from injury, and the most beloved babyface women's tag team in the company is back together again! This is definitely a heartening development, and the women's division needed this boost immensely. It will be a lot of fun to see how Anna Jay plays into the women's title picture on AEW Dynamite and all of the other programs following her big return.

Hats off to Cash Wheeler for wrestling with that horrific injury to his arm👏👏👏👏👏 I am glad to see him back in the ring and I hope he is Ok

It was also great to see Cash Wheeler return to action in the opening contest on AEW Dynamite. The match was really powerful and as fans, it's impossible not to be proud of Wheeler. The man hasn't missed a step, and there couldn't have been a better way to start the show off hot.

Sportskeeda's ace editor Alan John is curious about whether both teams are still a part of their respective factions. Or has that story taken a backseat to focus on multiple rivalries?

The following weeks of AEW Dynamite should shed light on the matter.

#2 Best: Sting has a message for CM Punk and his own partner

Sting and CM Punk in the ring is pure awesome. #AEWDynamite

— Matthew Quinn (@Ringfan72) September 2, 2021

One of the coolest AEW Dynamite moments ever transpired this week when CM Punk and Sting were in the same ring! Sting pretty much let us know that he won't be at ringside for Punk's upcoming match with Darby Allin at All Out on Sunday. How cool is it that Sting admitted that he always wanted to share the ring with CM Punk?

The sight of the two hottest babyfaces in the business squaring off on AEW Dynamite before the upcoming pay-per-view was also pretty awesome.

This was good business all around.

#2 Worst: What happened after the AEW Dynamite main event match

I didn't think it was possible, for an AEW crowd, in Chicago no less, to be dead. But this segment, the closing segment of the go home for their biggest show of the year, found a way to do it.

— Robert Martinez (@yourfriendrober) September 2, 2021

There were so many awesome pops throughout the night on AEW Dynamite. That's why ending the night with the heels standing tall was a weird choice.

Also, Kenny Omega speaking with a microphone somehow did not translate into the beatdown seeming as brutal as it was intended to be.

Omega brought a certain goofiness to the AEW Dynamite main event segment which, truthfully, could have been done without.

#1 Best: That completely unexpected AEW Dynamite heel turn!

This actually ruled idgaf 🔥

— Always a Noob (@BuckKimono) September 2, 2021

Yes, on AEW Dynamite, we did see a stunning twist! Billy Gunn has turned heel, and he is likely to head into a feud with Paul Wight following the giant's upcoming match with QT Marshall.

This is not a bad thing at all. Wight needs to rack up a few wins to build up his momentum before he puts the younger guys over. A victory over Marshall and another one over Gunn before he puts someone like, say, Luchasaurus over, sounds like a good path forward.

#1 Worst: JR calls an AEW star by his WWE name

Shame on me! https://t.co/VlY7PGxmFF

Jim Ross is the voice of pro wrestling and nobody, especially this reviewer, will ever take that away from him. Unfortunately, he had a major slip-up during AEW Dynamite, as he referred to Paul Wight by his WWE name!

It did not happen once but twice during the AEW Dynamite broadcast. Ross was on fire through the rest of the night, as were Excalibur and Schiavone. But yes, sometimes those one or two errors stand out.
