THE Coherent AEW Take: Dax Harwood Cash Wheeler BEST AEW Dynamite Match EVER!?

AEW delivered a solid, enjoyable week of programming which that statement alone is as predictable as a distraction finish. 

Rampage. 

Highlights. 

HOOK Said Something. 

I know it's weird that a piece of dialogue is the only highlight of this episode but considering that Hook hasn't uttered a single word and his intimidation factor, made this scene pretty memorable. 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

Tomohiro Ishi lost to Adam Cole In The Owen Hart Foundation Tournament - Not gonna lie, seeing two performers from two different brands while Orange Cassidy and Rocky Romero were roaming around ringside felt like I was watching gameplay of WWE 2k because of how random this entire thing was. 

Jade Cargill retained the TBS championship against Maria Shafir - that one-legged pin from Cargill into a leg bar from Shafir was *chef's kiss*. 

Lance Archer DESTROYED Serpentico - Somebody check on Luther because his friend is getting destroyed and I'm not sure if he feels good about that. 

Eddie Kingston defeated Daniel Garcia - Garcia's chest is looking as red as Eva Marie's hair which has to be the weirdest comparison I've ever made. 

Dynamite. 

Highlights. 

Dax Harwood vs Cash Wheeler. Owen Hart Foundation Tournament. 

I've never had the thought of splitting them up at least for one match and man, that "light bulb" turned out to be one hell of an idea. This was, by far, the best match from the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament. 

Kinda reminded me of when they split up Johnny Gargano and Tomasso Ciampa just for the cruiserweight classic. 

After a quick sequence of near falls pin, Dax got him with an inside cradle to advance into the tournament. 

Hikaru vs Serena Deeb In A Street Fight. 

Unfortunately, the crowd was kinda cooled off during this entire bout but I damn sure wasn't because this encounter ruled harder than Mansa Musa. 

Deeb has been built into a solid challenger for the AEW world women's championship so the big W for her just made all the sense in the world. 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

CM Punk was like, "I like you fans but also, that AEW title is mine" - Eh. 

Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley and Wheeler Yuta defeated QT Marshall, Aaron Solo and Nick Coromoto - Yuta being part of the Blackpool Combat Club is a nice addition. 

Wardlow defeated Lance Archer - Aka two of the best theme songs in AEW today but unfortunately, we don't get to hear one of them because of that POS, MJF. 

Eddie Kingston really doesn't like Chris Jericho - Yea, no f**king sh*t, Omar. 

Rey Felix is back, boys - Happy to see the man. 

Adam Cole, Kyle O'Reilly, Bobby Fish and the Young Bucks defeated Brock Anderson, Lee Johnson, Dante Martin and Varsity Blonds - I'm smelling a turn from Adam Cole to The Young Bucks at some point. 

Scorpio Sky took back the TNT championship against Sammy Guevara in a ladder match - Aka the Sasha Banks and Charlotte Flair of the midcard division but the difference is that their matches were actually good.

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: A Broserweight Road Trip To Portland, Britt Baker Addresses Her Attack On Yuka Sakazaki Last Week.

While this was a typical night for AEW, NXT, however, had a go-home show to deliver just days before the next anticipated Takeover show in Portland, Oregon.  But, NXT's final show before the second Takeover of 2020 didn't bring it, unfortunately, in terms of quality as the 20th episode of AEW Dynamite was the better show this week even though AEW Dynamite is a hit or miss program.  NXT    Highlights.  Roderick Strong vs Bronson Reed. Before the match, a pissed off Roderick Strong demanded an apology from the Velveteen Dream given that Dream put his wife and child's face on his trucks.  By the way, Bronson Reed's theme song is killer and so is this match. A slow, technical, old-school type of match that wouldn't fit the big man on paper but the execution was a different story.  The lights turned purple and Reed hits the suicide dive but he missed a Samoan splash that led to a knee strike from Strong and wins the match.  Then,...

Top 3 BEST Distraction Finishes EVER!

Distraction endings to a wrestling match in WWE depend on one another if you think about it. It's like the peanut butter and jelly or the chicken and the basmati biryani rice or Dan Lambert and sexism.  "Why top 3", you may ask? Because one, I'm different and two, well, I'm different, so be gone to the mofos that think it's shorter than Brock Lesnar's bout with Kofi Kingston.  (WARNING: This piece is mostly sarcasm).  Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus. Wrestlemania 28.  I know this made your eyebrows raise as high as Rocky Maivia but think about this. The kiss from AJ Lee that led to a brogue kick from Sheamus, has in some way, led to the general audience seeing how Daniel Bryan should be WAY higher in the overall arc than where he was at that time.  Also, this was also the year where Bryan showed off his comedic chops with his "NO" catchphrase and his tag team run with the big red conservative, Kane.  If anything, this distraction finish was a great chara...

Roman Reigns Relinquishes The Universal Title Because He Has Leukemia.

I have a sad and unfortunate news to break. Two hours ago on RAW, Roman cut a great promo pretty much stating that he's been living with leukemia for over 11 years and the disease's return forced him to give up the universal championship. The segment ended with both shield members Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins gave a group hug to Roman and did the triple shield fist pump. Ever since that, fellow WWE superstars reacted to the news on Twitter and here are the tweets so far. An amazing human being, an incredible performer & a man I’m proud to be friends with. My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family. Get well soon, champ! #ThankYouRoman https://t.co/jL1Q5dVvzs — #WOKEN, yet #BROKEN, Matt Hardy (@MATTHARDYBRAND) October 23, 2018 My heart right now .... Prayers for @WWERomanReigns 😞🙏🏻 https://t.co/9sqk0KfFnP — Lexi Kaufman (@AlexaBliss_WWE) October 23, 2018 He’s our locker room leader. He IS the business. He’ll be back. You go...
