#3 Best: The opening Battle Royal

Over-the-top rope elimination matches are some of the most fun stipulation contests to watch. The simplicity and pace of it make it a lot more interesting, which is perhaps the reason why many fans feel that the Royal Rumble elimination match is the best that WWE has today.

AEW decided to open Dynamite with a Tag Team battle royal, with the winner set to challenge the Tag Team Champions at Revolution. It was an epic contest with many teams and cameos from Orange Cassidy as well.

The timing of the eliminations was perfectly done and it didn't feel overbooked in any way whatsoever. This is the kind of battle royal that fans want to see and a lot of teams looked good in the process as well.

For example, the Butcher and the Blade had a great showing along with The Best Friends - who lasted up until the later part of the match. Ultimately, it was The Young Bucks who ended up getting the win and they're set to be the next tag team title challengers.
