While AEW Dynamite debuted with a bang, it's fair to say that their last show of 2019 ended with a whimper. When The Dark Order destroyed The Elite, it didn't elicit the kind of reaction that they wanted.

It seemed like the show repeated itself, but instead of The Inner Circle beating them down, it was now The Dark Order's turn. Truth be told, The Dark Order's vignettes have been fascinating, but the live reaction was little to be desired.

The induction of The Beaver Boys didn't do anything for the group, other than make them look like a modern day version of the J.O.B squad. To top it all, there was the footage being shared of a series of botched punches being given to Dustin Rhodes.

The punches were roasted by the likes of Randy Orton and WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry called for the masked performer to be fired.

It was not a good look for the company and shortly after the clip received criticism, The Young Bucks deleted their Twitter account. It was not how the promotion wanted to end the year and they're probably hoping their fans forget about it in 2020.

On AEW Dynamite's Homecoming episode on January 1st, the company will get their chance to reset and keep entertaining their fanbase.
