The night featured a promo showdown between Lineal and Interim AEW World Champion's CM Punk and Jon Moxley. During which the innovator of the Pipebomb dug into Hangman Page and Eddie Kingston as well as making several references to his and Mox's former employers, WWE. After Moxley said his piece, the two champions had to be separated by staff as they engaged in a brawl. They would resume their fight when Moxley interrupted Tony Nese's interference later on in the night. Elsewhere, Bryan Danielson and Garcia sought to settle their feud in a 2 out of 3 falls match. Danielson scored the win 2-1, before Garcia teased potentially leaving the Jericho Appreciation Society for the Blackpool Combat Club. Later on in the main event, Kenny Omega made his long-awaited return from injury to compete alongside the Young Bucks in the Trios Title Tournament. Despite a night of exciting wrestling, Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics reports that AEW Dynamite secured a 957,000 average viewership and 0.30 rating in the 18-49 key demographic. This is a drop from last week's 972k and 0.33 respectively.

There were those who remained expectant, like the user below who felt as though Dynamite should break the 1 million barrier next week. John B@JohnnyBoy_316@BrandonThurston Ouch. I still think they pull 1.1 and a .41 next week. Anything less I would view as a massive failure.@BrandonThurston Ouch. I still think they pull 1.1 and a .41 next week. Anything less I would view as a massive failure. In any case, next week's Dynamite will enjoy the boost in excitement that comes with Jon Moxley vs CM Punk. The pair will clash in what many thought was going to be the main event of All Out, looking to determine the Undisputed World Champion. What do you think? Will Dynamite improve next week?
