#4 Worst: Humiliating botch from Arn Anderson during the match between Rhodes and Black on AEW Dynamite

Arn Anderson caught social media attention during this week's episode of AEW Dynamite. The WWE legend seemingly interjected himself to distract Malakai Black but accidentally slipped off the ring apron. He then fell off again, which was the planned spot when Cody checked on him.

It was a sight to behold since it felt funny to many people who started making memes out of it later on. Fortunately, Anderson didn't hurt himself. However, the match between Cody Rhodes and Malakai Black felt absurd in a lot of ways. The bout may have gone far too long than expected.

Fans were rooting for Black and booed Rhodes massively, which further questioned the entire storyline playout pitting the good vs. the evil. The finish saw the former NXT Champion spitting black mist into Rhodes' eyes, thus pinning him for the second time.

Given the reaction from fans, the company could have booked a double turn from both these men, especially for Cody Rhodes' character.


#3 Best: Sting delivering another jaw-dropping performance

Sting has once again proved why he's the living legend of pro wrestling today. The WCW lcon teamed up with Darby Allin to defeat the FTR in a gruesome match.

It was arguably his best performance since making his in-ring debut this year. The former WWE Superstar showcased the extraordinary maneuvers, which gave goosebumps to anyone watching from ringside.

From a power slam to a top rope flying across the body of his opponents, Sting looked incredibly young while doing so. Aside from this, the whole match-up was exciting to watch. The FTR may have lost yet another match, but they got the spotlight from being in the ring with a high-profile name like Sting.

With their winning record now 4-0, it remains to be seen whether The Icon and Darby Allin will challenge for the AEW Tag Team Championships down the road.
