What opened AEW Dynamite Maximum Carnage with the Darby Allin vs Pac match?
Robin Lundberg here on the Busted Open Podcast. AEW Dynamite Maximum Carnage just went down, and I'm reacting to it all right now.
This is the Busted Open Podcast.
I feel like AEW Dynamite has more special edition episodes than any wrestling program in the history of wrestling. I can't I can't remember like you know, like a colon and then subtitle. I don't remember that that in any in the years of the Monday Night Wars and and before. Uh I don't remember so many subtitled uh specialty episodes, but this one got kicked off with something we've seen before in AEW. Which is Darby Allen getting thrown every which way. Darby Allen now in the bump hall of fame has to be at this point. He has that match with Pac to start things off. And they took the the over the overhead suplex into the um belly to belly suplex over the head into the steel steps and a razor's edge out onto the mat.
Um, just some some big time. spots and I I don't know how that guy's spinal cord is still intact. Uh then there was the big promo in the middle of the show, which I think will carry the day as far as that most of the talking points, not to mention some movement as it was announced that the Rascals are all elite as well. We'll get into all of that. But let's start with the promo I just mentioned mention and that was Kenny Omega. And the interesting aspect of that is that you have some established guys all in the ring together. And of course, Swerve Strickland and Hangman Adam Page, and then Kenny Omega makes his entrance. And the most significant part about that is throwing him back into that mix. And obviously, there are a lot of people out there who will, you know, swear by
Kenny Omega as their guy and then the wrestling fans wrestler. And it's nice to see him back in that mix. But they're trying to create this dynamic, this triangle sort of dynamic of who will be the guy to eventually, you know, emerge on top from that group as the top challenger for the title. And you saw some seeds of tension because swerve had helped uh hangman Adam Page and then Swerve didn't necessarily seem to appreciate Hangman shaking hands with Kenny Omega. And all of that leads to the question of how is that going to play out? And assuming that MJF wins this match that he's currently in right now, um, who will wind up taking him on. Now, the the good news there is that there there isn't so much history between MJF and some of those guys as far as like in-ring matches and the like.
So some of that would be a little bit new. But ultimately, the way I look at it is the title picture is a lot more interesting with MJF in it. And I have a uh a question here on the rundown. And Andre, so really super, let me give Andre a lot of credit, super producer for the bosses living, uh listening. He puts it together. The the the rundown has everything in one place. He he prepares, he's always got it ready to go. He's always got the social media stuff buzzing. But he has a a question on here, and it says, if you were to define who is the guy in AEW. Who is it? Is that even a question? Is the answer not three letters? Is it not MJF? Because to me, MJF is so far and away the guy in AEW, I don't think there's a close second.
Right.
How did the mid‑show Kenny Omega promo shape the AEW title picture?
Like MJF recently said he he thinks he's the the biggest uh performer that hasn't been in WWE. And he ain't far off if he's not spot on. Mean when you talk about the the history of AEW from organic stars who have been made, numero uno. I know he's trying to be bilingual and everything. Numero uno. Is MJF. And that Automatically Makes it A bigger deal for everybody else involved because he has the ability to raise the level of the the program, the promos, and everything in between. So we'll see which of those guys emerges. as the the you know next contender the the the next up but i have a feeling if you're going to do that and this is this is where i would um put my my booker hat on If you're gonna do that
It needs to play out for a while. Right. Like that shouldn't just be a one-off. All right, Kenny Omega's here. He's in the ring with Swerve Strickland and and hanging man Adam Page.
