#2 Best: AEW Dynamite goes black

Of course, the biggest takeaway from AEW Dynamite was the arrival of Aleister Black. Yes, he was a big deal in NXT but it was clear once he arrived on RAW that his former employers did not see as much value in him as the fans did.

Tony Khan likely does and the sky is the limit for this man. Black is a creative guy and an AEW stint will allow him to showcase some of that creativity to the world.

The 'tech glitches' on AEW Dynamite were a brilliant way to introduce him to the world at large.

#2 Worst: Is Malakai Black really the best possible name?

There was a sense of coolness to the Aleister Black name, as fans could draw parallels to Aleister Crowley. Tommy End is also an incredibly creepy name and is something that fans can really get behind. Malakai Black does not really have the same effect.

There's also a sense of confusion about whether it's Malachi or Malakai, at least among fans on social media.
