Thoughts: I was a bit surprised Toni's team lost here since she's the biggest star in this. It wasn't the cleanest match with quite a few missed shots and some sloppy strikes.

Thoughts: Eddie lost as expected here. I was fine with this. It was mostly all strikes here but the strikes looked fine. This went about as well as it could have gone and was a decent main event. 

Overall thoughts: It was a very heavy wrestling edition of Dynamite, as most of these have been since The Continental Classic started. Bailey/Fletcher was my least favorite match of the night.as it was indy garbage but I was fine with the rest of the show wrestling wise. The tornado tag match was the best thing on there. There wasn't a ton of stories going on here though or any big angles. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 total as the show was fine.
