Nah. AEW Dynamite wasn't good in my opinion and so was NXT, for the most part. In other words, I pick neither show.

NXT
Highlights.
Santos Escobar vs Jake Atlas For The Cruiserweight Championship.
Holy crap, what a match.
Atlas showed some serious aggression in this bout.
Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to capture the cruiserweight due to a modified death valley driver of some sort from Santos Escobar.
Io Shirai And Rhea Ripley Prime Target.
This video promo was, to no one's surprise, fantastic.
Loved the connection NXT made between this feud, that triple threat match at NXT Takeover: In Your House and Rhea's big L against Charlotte Flair at Wrestlemania.
The championship bout is happening next week and it should be a good encounter.
Some Other Things That Happened.
Johnny Gargano Issued An Open Challenge By Spinning His Wheel - The person that the wheel pointed to was Leon Ruff. If you've been watching the program for quite some time, you know what happens next?
Leon Ruff won and became the new North American champion thanks to a distraction by Damian Priest (sarcasm overload).
I would've not mind this if Damian Priest was in Johnny's shoes and not the other way around because Johnny just became North American champion.
It feels like yesterday when Damian Priest became North American champion so it doesn't make the title look good if I'm being real.
Raquel Gonzalez Doesn't Have A Match With Xia Li - Boa gave Raquel that news to which she replied with a beating.
Some older gentleman then gave Boa a letter while the entire place was filled with dragon imagery as well as some red lighting.
My curiosity has now peaked.
Candice LeRae Defeated Toni Storm - After the match, Toni was attacked by that person with a scream mask.
Shotzi Blackheart couldn't save Storm and then, the mysterious figure was revealed as Indi Hartwell. Ooh, I'm so surprised *sarcasm of course*.
Timothy Thatcher Defeated Timothy Due To A Distraction By Cameron Grimes - Cameron Grimes then relentlessly attacked Lumis in a post-match beatdown. The match itself was okay.
Oney Lorcan And Danny Burch Retained the Championship Against Breezango - Before the match, Pat McAfee was trolling the universe once again which I can't stop loving this heel role from Party McAfee, to be honest.
After the match though, Drake Maverick ain't done with McAfee's Posse as chaos ensued. However, the bad guys stood tall and that's how the show ended.
It looks like we might get to see an 8 man tag match between Drake Maverick, Killian Dain and Breezango vs McAfee's Posse.
At least, that's what the direction looks like for me.
AEW
Highlights.
Penta El Zero Miedo vs Rey Fenix.
By far, the BEST thing about this mediocre of an episode bruh.
A breath of fresh that was desperately needed for this week's program.
However, I thought Eddie Kingston telling Penta to reject his own brother, Rey Fenix when he himself told Penta to not fight with Rey a few weeks back, made no sense to me.
Oh, and Pac has returned and had a bit of altercation with Eddie Kingston in case y'all were wondering.
Some Other Things That Happened.
Brian Cage Defeated Matt Sydal - Taz wasn't having it with Darby Allin before the opening bout took place. The bout itself was decent though.
Who Is Jade Cargill? - All we saw is that she represents Shaq aka Shaquille O'Neal. Jade then literally teased a feud between Cody and Shaquille O'Neal.
After a verbal smacking from Brandi Rhodes to Jade, FTW took this entire segment as an opportunity to attack Cody.
Thankfully for the prince of pro wrestling, he was saved by Darby Allin and Willy Hobbs.
Cody vs Shaq? Pass!
Dustin Rhodes And QT Marshall Defeated The BB aka the Butcher And The Blade In A Bunkhouse Match - This is the slowest and the most boring N
No DQ match I've seen in quite some time.
Inner Inducts MJF And Wardlow To The Inner Circle - MJF's "wrote a poem" which he stole from a Drake song "All Me". Not gonna lie, I do not blame him because it's a great song.
Anyways, to celebrate this day, he not only sang "happy birthday" to Chris Jericho (because he isn't in the key dem…… I mean it's his birthday).
But, he also bought tickets for his Inner Circle buddies to Las Vegas.
I'm smelling a turn from MJF and it's pretty strong (no sh*t, Omar).
Shawn Spears Defeated Scorpio Sky Due To A Small Steel Object Used - Cool.
Tay Conti Defeated Red Velvet - Throughout this match, Anna Jay wanted Tay to pretty much join the stable that is the Dark Order. Will that happen? Who knows but will see.
The question is, what are some of the highlights of both episodes in your opinion? Let me know in the comments below and follow me on Twitter @omartheplayaguy. Anyways, I gotta get some sleep so stay safe smarks.
