AEW Dynamite 12/8/2021
Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2021/12/aew-dynamite-1212021.html
CM Punk Promo
This was just a weird segment with CM Punk cutting a heel promo on Long Island because MJF is from there and the crowd likes him. I have no idea how the non-New York fans were supposed to respond to this. The segment went way too long and got the show off to a bad start.

Dynamite Diamond Battle Royale
Why didn't they have qualifying for this or something to explain who got in and why? Wardlow was buried here just like he was last year and Jay Lethal was buried too here. This was a mess with Dante swerving Team Taz after swerving his new friend Lio Rush last week and Punk going from heel to face after one segment. MJF and Dante Martin were the last two survivors and will compete for the diamond ring next week.

The Dante swerve makes less sense the more you research it. You see, the battle royale wasn't even announced until 12/1, which was after Dante turned on Lio(11/24). So Dante would have to have advanced information about the battle royale and about who was in it(if Team Taz isn't in it, the plan fails). Dante would also have to be betting here that neither he or Team Taz gets eliminated, or else the whole plan fails and the plan has to assume that Lio Rush essentially threw the match.
Jurassic Express and The Varsity Blonds vs The Acclaimed and 2.0
It was fine for what it was with the faces getting the win in a quick multi-man match. Eddie Kingston got involved. JB getting knocked off the apron was funny and Bowens kicked Pillman right in the face. Griff's dive was nice.
We had an AEW production screw up as Eddie Kingston did a promo into a camera that nobody heard.
Tully Blanchard is back to being FTR's manager after Vicki took over for their Mexico trip. No explanation was given for it.

The Young Bucks vs Chuck Taylor and Rocky Romero
This sucked with the usual stupid Young Bucks spots and Chuck Taylor wrestling with sunglasses on. Why was Matt Jackson not DQ'd for pulling the ref down? The Bucks won here which was expected. Wheeler Yuta got involved after and was beaten up, then Trent's mom Sue drove him in via minivan and Trent cleared house. Was Trent stuck in traffic or something while Yuta was getting destroyed? Trent now has a buzz haircut. We are now 3 for 3 by the way with all of the matches so far having shenanigans in them.
Ruby Soho was interrupted by Penelope Ford and the Bunny and then ended up getting beaten up by them and Vicki Guerrero.
Cody Rhodes announced he would take Sammy Guevara's open challenge for the TNT title then Ethan Page and Scorpion Sky complained about this while in the stands.

Jamie Hayter vs Riho
Hayter forgot to catch Riho on a dive and she landed hard from the top to the floor. This wasn't bad but they did too much here and kicked out of stuff they shouldn't of. Rebel tried to get involved to make it 4v4 on matches with shenanigans in it. Jamie took a hard looking crucifix bomb from the top and a shining wizard for the Riho win.
The Lucha Brothers will fight FTR on Rampage. They actually mean it this time, not like last time. Hook also debuts on Rampage against Fuego del Sol.
The Varsity Blonds were interviewed. The lights went out and Malakai Black misted her then left.

Bryan Danielson vs John Silver
A match with an obvious result that was slow and went too long. Danielson went to beat up on Silver after and Page stopped it. Wasn't Page supposed to be suspended if he touched Danielson before the match?
Overall thoughts: Not a good one here. The first two segments were confusing and made no sense. We had shenanigans in almost every match, some classic AEW screwups and they did very little to build up to what should be a big show next week.
