What made the Kyle Fletcher vs Tommaso Ciampa match the highlight of AEW Dynamite?
It's Robin Lundberg here on the Busted Open After Dark podcast, and we react to the big and surprising title changes on AEW Dynamite. This is the Busted Open Podcast. Kyle Fletcher and Tommaso Ciampa. That was a hell of a match. There is no other way to put it. I mean, if you're a fan of professional wrestling, if you're a fan of it doesn't matter what company, right? But like obviously AEW, we're the best wrestle. That slogan, this is the kind of match that you want to put on. You want to put on television. And those two guys go back and forth in one of the better matches of the year so far. Um, one of the better TV matches that you'll see. Really, really well timed, really, really well executed. Uh, the spots were were hit beautifully.
Ciampa with the the, you know, driving him into the steps, uh, some of the bricks. brain busters that were hitting the match, like just really, really fluid. Even the the German suplex that that came off the the top rope on a reversal. There was a lot to really, really like in that match. Um but eventually it was Kyle Fletcher who got the win.
Why is it on it? He caught him! He caught him! Minchine unclean driver. Champa may be out on his feet. Fletcher. Right to the mob. Watcher. Here comes again! Oh yeah! Oh yeah! TSE
And eventually it winds up being Mark Briscoe who comes out to say we're gonna run this to the the best of seven and continue their feud. They set up a ladder match for Australia. All well and good.
Why did the TNT Championship change hands so quickly after Ciampa’s debut?
I I don't think anybody's mad at the prospects of that ladder match. But I will say this. When you have a match as good as Kyle Fletcher and Ciampa was, it's hard to complain about anything. But it kind of went from OMG to WTF. And what I mean by that is it's OMG. Wow, what a great match. Oh my God, I can't believe how good this match is to WTF. Like you're taking the belt off Ciampa already? Already? This dude came in from WWE, you know, and when you want to make an impression like that and package him differently and make him a big deal, which they did, right? Psycho killer and all that stuff. Here's his big entrance. Here's his grand introduction. Let's strap him up with the TNT championship. Maybe. Don't take the belt off him.
I don't know, a week later or whatever it's been. That to me, Tony Khan, what was the the thinking right there? What were you thinking with that one? Because I I get it, Kyle Fletcher is from Australia. Fine, you know, you can go home and have the pop with the championship there. But did you remove the pop? Did you pop the bubble on Ciampa's AEW run already with that decision? Or was the match just good enough on its own where he keeps the credibility? Perhaps the performance was just strong enough because it was. It was an absolutely brilliant match. But I don't think it was brilliant booking. I don't think it was brilliant booking to take the title off Ciampa that early. And all of a sudden you start having SmackDown flashbacks.
You know, that's the way I look at it right there. When you you see how that was resolved. 877-344-4893. Agree or disagree. Awesome match. Eh ending.
How did the surprise ladder‑match tease set up future storylines?
And not even the ending of the match per se, but the decision in the ending of the match. 877-344-4893. There's other titles Kyle Fletcher could go after. You know, th there's other ways. You can make that happen. It just seemed to me if you're gonna bring him in and you're gonna introduce Ciampa that way and you're gonna have him win a championship that early off the bat, and you wanna say he's a real player in AEW. Let him. I mean, I I I I understand it's like a a T V championship. It it you know, it's named that way and everything. But Feels a little As far as I'm concerned. The promo was fine afterwards. I mean, and Kyle Fletcher looked great in the match as well. You know, but are you you d do you not think about maybe elevating him and putting him in the world title picture or just
Something else where it didn't have to necessarily need that championship that early to sort of prematurely bring the the the Chompa Reign to an end. I mean, how long ago did he debut?
