Following a highly successful debut on TNT, AEW Dynamite was an entertaining show this week as well.

The episode gave us a better idea of how certain storylines are going to shape up in the next few shows.

The brand strikes the right balance between wrestling and entertainment, even though it does slightly lean towards the wrestling aspect of things more.

Fans get to witness great matches every week, and I firmly believe that a huge part of AEW's success can be owed to the live audience who make the show more engaging from start-to-finish.

Here are a few interesting observations from this week's AEW Dynamite:


#3 Why PAC, Jon Moxley & Kenny Omega are unstable AEW Wildcards at the moment

I love how factions are a huge part of Professional Wrestling once again, thanks to AEW Dynamite.

But a Pro-Wrestling show needs singular storylines and distinct personalities to succeed in terms of quality, and AEW has delivered on both fronts so far.

The roster is so stacked that several personalities share the top spot. More specifically, Kenny Omega, PAC & Jon Moxley seem to be wildcards at the moment - You never know what to expect, because all three of them keep popping up in each other's business from time-to-time.

They are driven by personal motivations as well - PAC needs to know why he doesn't have a shot at the AEW World Title despite his stellar record in recent times. Kenny Omega's 'slow heel turn' subplot on Being The Elite will eventually lead to some drastic events on the main roster, and Jon Moxley's lust for chaos can trigger him at any given moment.

Who knows how this angle might play out next week?

This makes AEW Dynamite a show where anything can happen at any given time, and that is best for business.

#2 Why Young Bucks don't need the AEW Tag Team Titles right now

Speaking of factions, The Young Bucks are an integral part 'The Elite', and it seems like Matt & Nick Jackson will be on the good side of things against 'The Inner Circle', a brand new heel faction helmed by Chris Jericho.

As it is, AEW probably has the most exciting tag team division right now, and in order to keep growing, the division needs to create an influx of lesser-known, underrated teams as well.

That being said, The Young Bucks might feud against Santana & Ortiz in the next few weeks, and this will shift focus to other teams during the AEW Tag Team Championship Tournament.

So ultimately, Private Party's shock victory against The Young Bucks was the right way to go, and as exciting the match was, The Young Bucks will be heading into an entirely different direction for the time being.

#1 Chris Jericho showcases yet again that he can put anything over in Professional Wrestling

It's only been less than 24 hours since Chris Jericho made an official announcement regarding the formation of a dominant heel stable, and 'The Inner Circle' has won over a lot of fans already.

'The Inner Circle' sounds like a silly name in 2019, but as the title of this slide suggests, Jericho can make anything seem great over time.

He put over his 'confidants' - Sammy Guevara, Santana & Ortiz, and Jake Hager (formerly known as Jack Swagger in WWE) in the best way possible.

Of course, the Wednesday Night Wars are incomplete without superstars taking shots at rival brands, and Jericho did exactly that by blasting WWE Creative for Hager's "We The People" gimmick.

The promo itself was very entertaining, and it looks like "The Inner Circle" is already the biggest takeaway from this week's AEW Dynamite, so brace in your positions as AEW's faction war goes underway.
