| 0:00.0 | AEW was in Orlando tonight. I want to give a shout out to Rikinson, who had his |
| 0:06.5 | Salomonster sign. I did see it. He wanted to know if I saw the sign. I did see it. |
| 0:10.9 | It didn't get as much play as it did that time at Daly's plays when we got like a dead on shot |
| 0:15.2 | of it. But I did see Reacon Sun in the crowd tonight, so I thank you for that. I always like |
| 0:20.1 | it when people represent the sound off at these shows. Unfortunately, there was not a whole lot of story represented |
| 0:27.6 | on this show tonight. This was a show that was very light on any real significant story |
| 0:34.2 | progression. It was strong on the in-ring aspect. I'll give them that. Hopefully next week |
| 0:40.5 | we get a better balance between the two. I thought Dynamite last week was largely good, |
| 0:45.9 | but there just wasn't a whole lot of real story to speak of. Some very basic stuff on the show. |
| 0:53.1 | We got a bunch of good wrestling matches, though. |
| 0:54.7 | MJF continues to scout the competition. The competition continues to mount, or I should say |
| 1:01.2 | potential competition for the AEW World Title. Another challenger has entered the chat. |
| 1:08.1 | His name is Brody King as the list continues to grow. |
| 1:13.7 | You know, tonight, they were really promoting a first time ever match between Kenny |
| 1:18.3 | Omega and Josh Alexander. For Josh Alexander, he has been publicly saying that this has been |
| 1:23.3 | a dream match for him. This is a match that he's wanted for a very long time, going as far to say, |
| 1:29.0 | or as far as to say, that the, I shouldn't say the only reason, but one of the big reasons he |
| 1:34.1 | joined AEW was to get this match. He wanted to be able to work with Kenny Omega. |
| 1:40.3 | And maybe it's a Canadian thing, I don't know, but he got his match tonight. And you would think that |
| 1:45.6 | Kenny O'Magan, his first singles match at a while, his first match, I think at all, in about a month, |
| 1:51.4 | that that would be the main event here on this show. And it was not the main event on this show. The |
| 1:56.8 | main event of the show was Swerve Strickland, one-on-one against Kevin Knight, and having seen the match, I think they made the right choice, because that match was the best thing on the entire show, even more so than Omega and Alexander. |
