#2 Best: Dante Martin back to being a babyface on AEW Dynamite

AEW's Dante Martin eliminating Ricky Starks from Dynamite Diamond Ring Battle Royale came as a feel-good moment for wrestling fans tonight. He stood alongside reigning Diamond ring holder MJF at the end of the match to book a berth against him at Winter is Coming.

The 20-year old star also removed the FTW armband to signal the end of his short alliance with the faction. It initially appeared as though Martin would undergo a significant change in his character after siding with the heels. But it seems more of a ploy now that he has turned one Starks.

Corey Graves deleted his Tweet! More details HERE.

It could also lead to Dante Martin and Lio Rush getting back together as they became immensely over with fans in no time.

Moreover, Martin's upcoming match against MJF would be a must-see, knowing that CM Punk could be lurking around to cost his rival the Diamond ring. The company showed faith in Dante Martin tonight, which is a sign that the management is very high on him.


#1 Best/Worst: Bryan Danielson and John Silver tearing the house down in the main event

The main event of Dynamite this week has caught the most attention of the AEW Universe. Bryan Danielson, en route to the first title opportunity, defeated John Silver to keep to his promise of destroying every member of the Dark Order.

Aside from the predictable outcome, both men produced spine-chilling performances that kept the audience at bated breath for most of the match. Moreover, Danielson's tendency to bring the best in his opponents allowed Silver to show his incredible strength.

Another singles win for the former WWE Superstar means that his winning streak now stands at 13-0.

However, the company might soon halt his momentum and winning streak when Bryan Danielson challenges Hangman Page for the AEW World Championship next week. It would be absurd to see The American Dragon take his first pinfall in All Elite Wrestling.

Unfortunately, this seems to be the only loophole in the storyline between Page and Danielson.
