Description

The return of Jon Moxley to AEW and full-time debut of WALTER on NXT created shockwaves in the world of professional wrestling this week. Host Adam Silverstein begins the show with a look at AEW's extended build to Revolution, starting with Mox's profane but inspiring promo to open Dynamite [5:33]. Adam wonders about the direction of CM Punk vs. MJF, the repetitiveness of Adam Cole's booking, the purpose of Cody Rhodes' meandering promo, the decision to put Lance Archer in the world title picture and the endless barrage of Dan Lambert appearances. Next, "The Silver King" focuses on NXT's controversial decision to change WALTER's name to Gunther [35:25], including a problematic trademark filing and massive, illogical overreactions to the situation. Plus, WALTER's banger with Roderick Strong, Santos Escobar's elevation to NXT title contender, Grayson Waller getting a heavy and concerns about the repackaging of Sarray.
