Powell’s POV: Dynamite will be live from San Diego, California at Viejas Arena. AEW Rampage will also be taped tonight. Join me for our weekly live review as Dynamite airs Wednesday on TBS at 7CT/8ET. My AEW Dynamite same night audio reviews are available each week for Dot Net Members (including our Patreon subscribers).
AEW does so many seemingly random championship matches, all it really does is devalue the titles. There’s no build, no story, and no real reason. An “open challenge” is okay every so often but, again, when you look at the frequency in which AEW has title matches, it just doesn’t register with me
A championship match is free on television is supposed to be something of a novelty, not something that happens every episode.
Amazing job using an “unsanctioned” match on PPV to build to a mixed tag on TV.
The Blackface Combat Club gets to keep doing whatever it is they do.
An open challenge already has the opponent announced.
Crackhead Tony goes back to the “special announcement” gimmick to try and get people to watch the show (Thanks Guys).
It’s time for a 3rd company with money behind it to show up. This shit ain’t it.
Please correct me if I’m wrong. But is this the 12,386 announcement from Tony Khan this year alone? I may have missed approximately a hundred or so. It’s just so damn hard to keep track of this myriad number. Enlighten me please. Thank you very much.

Isn’t the point in a feud to have one match build to the next? Especially since are likely going to continue?
Also, using your logic, WWE just had a world title match on ppv that lead to a lame tag match on RAW.
The constant “special announcements” are stupid. I will give you that.
