AEW Dynamite - Best and Worst - Late star's wife helps Dark Order reunite, new TNT Champion crowned

This week's AEW Dynamite grabbed social media attention with a few stunning swerves. Apart from the action-packed show, the company dedicated tonight's episode to the memory of the late Brodie Lee.

Wednesday's show kickstarted with a first-time-ever singles match between Jungle Boy and Adam Cole. In the main event, Miro and Sammy Guevara slugged it out for the prestigious TNT Championship, a title that will forever be synonymous with The Exalted One's legacy.

That said, it's now time to get into the positives and negatives of the show. Needless to say, if you disagree with the reviewer's opinion below, do let us know in the comments section.

#5 Best: Amanda Huber and Negative One brings The Dark Order on the same page on AEW Dynamite

After weeks of wrangling among the group, Dark Order finally settled their differences to defeat The Hardy Family Office in a 16-man tag team match. The reunion didn't come off easy as the group imploded again when Alex Reynolds and Evil Uno engaged in another argument, thus leaving their mates during the match.

However, Brodie Lee's son, Negative One, and wife, Amanda Huber, appeared on the entrance ramp and reminded Uno and Reynolds to be on the same page for Brodie Lee. Moreover, it felt nostalgic when the Negative One threw a rolled paper on Evil Uno in the same way Brodie Lee used to do. The entire playout was a feel-good moment for the Rochester crowd.

There couldn't have been a better person than Amanda Huber to bring back the faction that his late husband once created. AEW certainly made the right decision by giving a momentum-gaining victory to the Dark Order tonight.

#4 Worst: Chris Jericho or Jake Hager didn't confront Dan Lambert and Men of the Year

It was strange noticing that Chris Jericho and Jake Hager didn't show up tonight to confront Dan Lambert. This week, the latter came out with the Men of the Year to mock Chris Jericho, reminding everyone that the former WWE Superstar's career was over after the beatdown last week.

Meanwhile, Sky and Page bragged about how tough they were and carried a champion persona. Although their promo was scathing, the segment felt pointless without Jericho and any other Inner Circle members coming out to intervene.

Moreover, Le Champion and Hager didn't even take the brutal assault that they had to take a week off. With the feud not seeming to be doing anyone any favors, it remains to be seen how the company will book it moving forward.

#3 Best: MJF and Darby Allin - the feud between AEW's top pillars

Despite AEW bringing in multiple former WWE Superstars, there's no denying that MJF and Darby Allin are the front runners to carry this company in the future.

During this week's Dynamite, The Pinnacle leader demanded a title shot from Tony Khan. Later on, Darby Allin confronted Mr. Friedman in a buzzworthy segment that saw both men engaging in a war of words.

MJF took a trip down memory lane to mock Allin's uncle, who died in a car accident. He even crossed the limit by saying that the former TNT Champion should have died instead of his uncle.

Allin had an emotional breakdown, which speaks volumes for MJF's intense promo. The fan-favorite star didn't lay his hands on MJF. Hence, the segment ended with the latter leaving the ring. The company appears to be planning a massive babyface vs. heel feud with the two rising talents.

#2 Worst: Too many tag team matches on the show

At this point, AEW must introduce a Trios Championship, given that they've booked a lot of tag team matches recently. Tonight's Dynamite was no different as it featured some major faction matches which felt pointless without any stakes involved.

The company booked multiple tag teams, a Trios, and a massive 16-man tag team match for this week's AEW Dynamite. The company's higher-ups seem to be filling their cards and not looking to make any of these groups relevant. Even the women's division needs to bring tag team belts, especially when you see the swift rise of Tay Conti and Anna Jay on the women's division.

#1 Best/Worst: Sammy Guevara defeating Miro for the AEW TNT Championship

Sammy Guevara dethroned Miro tonight to become the new AEW TNT Champion for the first time in his career. Both men delivered on the hype by showcasing their impressive arsenals in the ring.

Miro, as usual, made the best use of his size and strength to dominate in the early stages of the match. However, Guevara's durability got the best of him tonight. The Redeemer exposed the turnbuckles of every corner, but Fuego Del Sol made his way out to stop him. The distraction helped The Spanish God push Miro into his trap, thus delivering GTH with a 630 splash to seal the victory.

Sammy Guevara was long-overdue to win a secondary title, given his impressive performances. The company might have booked it to change the landscape of the mid-card division. Regardless, Guevara will be in a well-deserved spotlight.

Meanwhile, the decision to book a title change felt unnecessary, especially when Miro was doing a great job as the champion. The company even let his undefeated streak break easily.

There honestly wasn't much hype heading into this match since neither man had enough time to build a compelling storyline. While it may seem like a career-defining moment for Guevara, it is derailing momentum for Miro.
