They continue to talk about them like they’re a faction that everyone who watches Dynamite, but only Dynamite, has comprehensive familiarity with prior to Dynamite starting.) I’d say the only thing missing is just what the total history of The Elite is. (Keller’s Analysis: The bell rang seven minutes into the show, and AEW utilized that seven minutes well in terms of taking their time to recap key storylines and discuss the wrestlers as they made their ring entrances. Excalibur, after talking about Hangman Page pouring himself a cocktail last week in front of Private Party at a bar, asked Brown if he’s ever had a $12 cocktail. They noted that Page and Omega had a fist-bump. Schiavone said Page is a little more serious than the other guys. The sound mix was again off and made it difficult to hear the announcers during ring entrance music. Schiavone said Page said on an episode of “Being the Elite” that he wanted to take some time off and get his mind clear, which is what he’s been trying to do. His record on the graphic said 6-7 in his AEW career. Ross said a new story is being written on Page these days. PRIVATE PARTY (Marq Quen & Isaiah Kassidy) (1) “HANGMAN” ADAM PAGE & KENNY OMEGA vs. Ross said he just wishes Lance (Russell) was there too.
They went to the stage for pyro blasting, then shifted to the announce desk with Jim Ross, Tony Schiavone, and Excalibur joined by Dave Brown. (Keller’s Analysis: I’m a fan of a recap like that to emphasize the key bullet points from last night’s show.) Then they shifted to recap of the Jon Moxley-Chris Jericho interaction. It included Ross saying The Elite are clawing their way back one match at a time, while Adam Page turned down joining them in a post-match celebration, indicating he didn’t feel he was worthy but in reality trying to distance himself from them. They opened with a clip of Arn Anderson advising Cody last week in his match against Darby Allin, then Jim Ross questioning whether the Era of the Elite is over as clips aired of The Young Bucks & Kenny Omega winning last week’s main event. Please forgive any typos and other glitches and errors in my initial frenzied attempt to detail the show live!) Then later I proofread and add analysis, which is updated that night and sometimes additional commentary is added the next day, so check back for an “Updated” version as will be noted in the headline for a more complete report. I immediately host a post-show live stream with callers after the show ends (see above). (Editor’s Note: This is a live report updated through the show.
