Solomonster reviews AEW Dynamite from Cincinnati and there was a LOT to digest on this show, maybe a little TOO MUCH. But with Forbidden Door less than two weeks away, it felt like they were rushing through things like the Adam Copeland/Christian Cage reunion, and the throwaway announcement that Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi will be returning at the PPV as part of a 10-man LIGHTS OUT steel cage match. Hangman Page also goaded MJF into cashing in his title match contract at Forbidden Door, but MJF had the last laugh by the end of the show.

| 0:00.0 | AEW was back at the Andrew J. Brady Music Center in Cincinnati. |
| 0:07.8 | It was another one of these intimate venues. |
| 0:09.8 | It's a musical. |
| 0:10.9 | And it has been a popular venue for them this year because they actually had a dynamite there earlier in the year. |
| 0:17.1 | If you remember, it was the episode where John Moxley, and that's his hometown, John Moxley defended the AW World Championship on that show against Powerhouse Hobbs. |
| 0:26.5 | And what a main event that was on that show. |
| 0:29.0 | That was at the beginning of the year. |
| 0:30.9 | And actually, WWE ran there as well. |
| 0:32.7 | They ran an NXT show in that venue the following month. |
| 0:36.4 | So tonight, they were back, and there was a lot going on on this show, a little too much going on |
| 0:44.0 | this show, because they realize that Forbidden Door is less than two weeks away. |
| 0:48.7 | We have 10 days to go until Forbidden Door. |
| 0:51.5 | And one of the issues that they have run into this year is the fact that the |
| 0:55.9 | G1 climax is currently in progress. Normally, forbidden door does not take place in August, but it did |
| 1:03.3 | this year because All-in got moved up a little bit. So the schedule sort of shifted a little bit. |
| 1:10.1 | We haven't seen that many New Japan stars popping up on TV. |
| 1:13.9 | We had one tonight. |
| 1:15.4 | And I would guess that once the G1 wraps up, which I believe is this weekend, we may see them on the show next week. |
| 1:22.5 | Next week is the final dynamite before Forbidden Door. |
| 1:25.4 | That did not stop them, though, from making a whole bunch of |
| 1:29.0 | different announcements. But before we even get into any of that, the key angle on the show |
