Bodeen’s Top 5 Moments: AEW Dynamite (4/28/21)
AEW ramps up to Blood and Guts with an action packed show! What were Bodeen’s Top 5 moments?
With AEW Blood and Guts just around the corner, AEW delivered a great episode of Dynamite as we sew The Pinnacle confront The Inner Circle, Darby Allin defend his TNT Championship against 10 of the Dark Order and much more this week. So for the first time ever let’s ignite the fuse and bring the boom as we look at the top 5 moments on AEW Dynamite
5. Things heat up between Jon Moxley, Eddie Kingston and Kenny Omega.
After beating Rich Swann at Impact Reblillion just a few days ago. Kenny Omega would waste no time gloating in his victory as Don Callis hyped the Impact and AEW Champion as well as The Young Bucks from inside their limo. Omega would later talk about the actions of Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston last week, telling Kingston that he would have to face off against Micheal Nakazawa later in the night with both Omega and Callis cutting a short but extremely effective promo.
Eddie Kingston would later come out in the night and refuse to face Nakazawa. This would lead to Nakazawa attacking him from behind with Kingston eventually getting the upper hand. Kingston would then grab a steel chair and wrap it around the ankle of Nakazawa. Kingston would then call out Kenny Omega, threatening to break the ankle of Nakazawa if Omega didn’t come out. Omega would then come out showing little care of Nakazawa as he called for Brandon Cutler.
Unfortatanly for Omega and Calis, Cutler would come out being attacked by Jon Moxley. Moxley would then attack Omega throwing him inside the ring. Kingston would then wrap the chair around Omega’s ankle with Moxley and Kingston threatening to break the ankle of Omega, demanding a tag team match against Moxley and Nakazawa next week, giving Don Callis no choice but to accept Kingston’s and Moxley’s demands in an entertaining segment.
#EddieKingston doesn't want @MichaelNakazawa…he wants @KennyOmegamanX!

4. Brian Cage and Hangman Adam Page open the show against each other
One thing AEW has done extremely well in their short time as a wrestling company it’s their ability to start things off strong with a great match. While RAW in particular has a terrible problem with starting their shows with promos or video packages that drag on for too long and hurt the early pacing of the show, AEW is straight into the action, with most of the opening matches being great to watch. This week would be no different as Brian Cage and Hangman Page went head to head to open Dynamite this week.
Before the match could start, Brian Cage would attack Hangman Adam Page, with Cage hitting Adam Page with a powerbomb on the stage. Brian would continue to assault Page as the match started, punishing him outside the ring using the barricade. Page would then fight back after putting his knees up after Cage attempted a standing moonsault, Page would keep fighting back and even hit Cage with a moonsault outside the ring.
Page would then throw Cage back inside the ring and attempt to hit the Buckshot Lariat only for Cage to reverse and later hit two powerbombs as well as a Drill Claw on Page to score a surprising win, in what was a great match to open Dynamite with Adam Page looking strong in defeat as he pushed Cage, despite being brutally assaulted by Cage before the match.
Powerbomb ➡️ Buckle Bomb ➡️ Drill Claw leads @MrGMSI_BCage to a WIN over #1 Ranked @theAdamPage on #AEWDynamite

3. The Young Bucks face off against Matt and Mike Sydal in tag team action
After being hyped by Don Callis and Kenny Omega earlier in the night, Nick and Matt Jackson had a big job ahead of them as they faced Matt and Mike Sydal in tag team actions. Both teams would start things off evenly early in the match with the Young Bucks being the first ones in the match to get the upper hand with Mike Sydal getting caught with a superkick from the Young Bucks as Dynamite went to an ad break.
Despite the Young Bucks using twin magic against the Sydals, Matt Sydal would take the fight to The Young Bucks, hitting both members with various moves. Sydal would keep taking the fight to The Young Bucks late in the match hitting both Nick and Matt with a hurricanrana leading to a close near fall as Matt Sydal continued to push both members of The Young Bucks to their limit.
The Young Bucks would then later recover in the match, hitting a Johnny Cage tribute with a Split Legged Low Blow on Mike Sydal late in the match, following it up by hitting the BTE trigger to pin Sydal and win the match. With both Matt and Mike Sydal looking strong in defeat after pushing the Young Bucks to the limit despite being the clear underdogs of the match.
Is #1 ranked #SCU the "biggest threat" the @youngbucks and their Tag Team Titles have ever faced?

2. Darby Allin defends his TNT against 10 of The Dark Order
Before the match, 10 from The Dark Order gave a short touching promo on what Brodie Lee meant to him before the match. Darby Allin and 10 would start things off evenly, exchanging holds, punches and reversals as The Dark Order and Sting watched on from their corner as both Allin and 10 tried to get the upper hand over each other throughout most of the match. Things would then heat up as The Dark Order and Sting confronted each other outside the ring, leading to Ethan Page to sneak in and attack Darby Allin from behind, throwing Allin into the ring post while Sting was distracted.
10 would then hit Darby Allin with a wheelbarrow German Surplex, with Allin just finding enough strength to kick out before the referee counted three. 10 continued to inflict damage on Allin, with 10 looking to have Allin beat when he locked in the Full Nelson on Allin. Just when things looked bleak for Allin, The TNT Champion would use the turnbuckles to reverse the Full Nelson into a pinfall for the win.
After their great match, Darby Allin and 10 would pay their respect to Brodie Lee by holding up the Brodie armband and hugging each other in a touching moment. Scorpio and Ethan Page would then attack Sting and Allin with Lance Archer and 10 making the save as the show closed with Sting and Darby Allin down after being attacked by Scorpio Sky and Ethan Page.
Make it 9 straight title defenses for @DarbyAllin after pulling out a win vs. #DarkOrder's @Pres10Vance in our Main Event!

1. The Inner Circle face off against The Pinnacle ahead of Blood and Guts
While multi-man promo segments can drag on and feel slow at times. The Parley segment between The Inner Circle and The Pinnacle was amazing to watch with nearly everyone involved looking strong on the mic as both teams traded verbal shots at each other as well how important it is for each team to win at Blood and Guts and what they are willing to sacrifice in order to be victorious. Shawn Spears would be the first man to speak during this segment talking about how The Pinnacle deserved the advantage after being tricked into the match by The Inner Circle. Spears would then talk about Sammy Guevara and how he has not wrestled a match in quite some time, leading to Spears giving The Pinnacle the advantage as well as taking a verbal shot at Shaun Spears failures in WWE and AEW.
FTR would then be the next to have mic time as they made things personal with Santana & Ortiz, telling them to leave the soft versions of themselves behind than making things even more personal talking about their rivals children. MJF would then grab the mic and show a rare sign of respect to Jericho, telling Jericho how important he has been for AEW and the pressure that has caused Jericho. MJF would then finish things off by telling Jericho that he was going to put Jericho down.
This would then cause Jericho to snap, with Jericho cutting a personal promo on how hard he worked in WCW 25 years ago. Jericho would then call out the amount of time the Pinnacle has been together compared to the amount of time The Inner Circle has been together, with Jericho informing MJF that the Pinnacle will have to kill them to win next week in an amazing promo segment that did a great job building up for Blood and Guts next week.
These were my top 5 moments from AEW Dynamite this week. What were your top 5 moments and what are your predictions heading to Blood and Guts? Let us know in the comments down below.

Chris King: The Wyatt Sicks’ Wasted Potential By WWE
Chris King takes a look at the WWE and their wasted potential of Uncle Howdy and the Wyatt Sicks faction.
Chris King takes a look at the WWE and their wasted potential of Uncle Howdy and the Wyatt Sicks faction.
It’s that time of the year again, folks; it’s unfortunate and downright awful that so many WWE superstars got released today. I’m not going to list all of them, but I am going to talk about one of my favorite factions,
The Wyatt Sicks. Nikki Cross, Joe Gacy, Erik Rowan, and Bo Dallas (Uncle Howdy) were something special. After Bo’s brother Bray Wyatt’s tragic passing, WWE felt like there was a hole that needed to be filled. Wyatt was one of the most creative and brilliant characters, and Bo would be taking over his brother’s concept and bringing it to life. In 2024, at the end of an incredible documentary highlighting Wyatt’s career and struggles, Bo appeared on the screen portrayed as Uncle Howdy. The last time Uncle Howdy was seen on-screen was at the 2023 Royal Rumble, where Wyatt defeated LA Knight in a Pitch Black Match. Howdy jumped off a structure onto Knight.
This post-credit scene sparked so much speculation and excitement that Wyatt’s brother would carry on his legacy and possibly debut the faction that was Wyatt’s concept. On the June 17th episode of Monday Night Raw, The Wyatt Sicks made their dramatic debut ,destroying the backstage area as well as “murdering” Chad Gable. It was such an iconic arrival for Howdy as he made his menacing walk from the back into the audience who were chanting “Holy Shit.” The Sicks and American Made (Chad Gable and The Creed Brothers) battled for months, with The Sicks being victorious. On the September 9th episode of Raw, The Sicks defeated them, with Howdy getting the win with Sister Abigail.
The following year, The Sicks would move over to Friday Night SmackDown, and it seemed like WWE had a plan in place. They would win the tag team championships from The Street Profits and start to look dominant. Now, what should have happened next is Howdy should have won the United States title. The Sicks could have held all the gold over on the blue brand, but it never happened. The Sicks entered into a never-ending feud with The MFT’s (Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, JC Mateo, and Talla Tonga.) It started off exciting, and the WWE Universe was red-hot for their interactions.
After months of repetitive matches and The MFT’s stealing their lantern, the feud grew tiresome and boring. Even Tama asked Solo why they are still holding onto the lantern, as it was destroying them as a whole. Finally on the SmackDown before Mania, Tama
gave the lantern back to Howdy against Solo’s wishes. Please explain to me why both factions fought almost every single week instead of just having one final blowoff match at WrestleMania.
It should have been either a massive street fight or a falls count anywhere match on the grandest stage of them all. Instead, it turned into a meaningless week-after-week extravaganza that benefited no one. The MFTs won the rivalry, and The Sicks don’t even work for WWE anymore. This was the same criminalized creative process that Wyatt dealt with during his first run in the company.
We’ll never know how much of a dangerous force The Wyatt Sicks could have been in the WWE. For all their careers’ sake, I hope they stay far away from the company for as long as possible. Every superstar that was cut deserves better!

Chris King: Bloodline Saga: Is This the Right Call For WWE?
Chris King questions the WWE’s logic in setting up Jacob Fatu as the next challenger for World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns
Chris King questions the WWE’s logic in setting up Jacob Fatu as the next challenger for World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns
Roman Reigns is once again World Heavyweight Champion after his dominant win over CM Punk at WrestleMania 42. On the following night on Monday Night Raw, The OG Bloodline came back together as a well-oiled machine as The Usos stood side by side with Roman. With the WWE Universe asking who would be the first to challenge “The Tribal Chief,” Jacob Fatu shocked the world by answering the call.
Fatu is running hot after his impressive win over Drew McIntyre and feels like he is ready to become the new world champion. This bloodline segment ended Raw, and it picked right back up on SmackDown with even Solo Sikoa and the MFTs involved. This is now two shows that have been centered around The Bloodline saga, and it’s made me question whether or not WWE should be retelling this story.
The Bloodline (Roman Reigns, The Usos, and Solo Sikoa) ran WWE for over four years as Reigns’ henchmen, doing his dirty work to retain his title. Even though Roman has declared he doesn’t want Jey and Jimmy to serve him, it sure seems like WWE are spinning their wheels. Fatu could add a whole new chapter into the story, even if he’s not able to beat Roman at Backlash. “The Samoan Werewolf” could be forced to do the same thing as Jey did all those years ago and fall in line.
In my opinion, I feel like Fatu should be challenging for the Undisputed WWE Championship because that’s a title I feel like he should win. I understand standing up to your blood and trying to prove you’re the best, but I don’t think this is the right move. It feels like 2022 all over again, as The Bloodline is the central focus on both shows. If Fatu doesn’t win, what happens to all his momentum he’s been building over the last two years?
Why did WWE make this the best choice for storyline purposes? Why couldn’t creative have come up with a different challenger for Roman? There are so many other superstars that could challenge The Tribal Chief, such as Rusev, Bron Breakker, Gunther, or even a returning Sheamus.
I just can’t help but question WWE’s logic here, and it kind of reminds me of all the times The Shield reunited. Could WWE be pushing the same storyline too many times here? Could the WWE Universe get tired of this rinse and repeat cycle of The Bloodline Saga?
Are we about to see all the weekly episodes solely focused on The Bloodline again? Will it be cinema… Yes. Is there still money in The Bloodline… Yes. Was it the right call? That’s to be determined!
