Protect Trans Kids sign in the crowd <3
In Florida, too. That's powerful.
Your neeeeeeeewwwwwwww women's world champion!
I absolutely did not have a tear in my eye when she won (well not when she won. I'm lapsed since Kenny dropped the belt, but watched for this!). I think some fuck was cutting onions.
Swerve is such a psychotic villain! Wtf man
He's so good x4
The powder, colours, lights on the crowd. I love the "old school" feel tonight.
Yeah, I missed the more colorful look. I always thought that fit AEW; it's not a carefully manicured product, it's bursts of everything from everywhere forming something cool and beautiful.
Agreed. And that was a great way of putting it.

I'm pretty sure the fox doesn't go cacow, but I'm not a biologist.
So... What does the fox say?
Did Chuck just swear? Hard to tell. The person behind the 'bleep' button finally got their timing right lol
200 episodes and they still won't let him say the s word
Maaannn! Callis is such a snake
Did they just murder Nick Wayne?
Better than that other Wayne origin story.
Buncha bats in a well. Please.
WOOOO SHIDA!!!
༼ つ ◕◕ ༽つ We did it, our collective energy helped Shida with that last kick out! ༼ つ ◕◕ ༽つ
We must only use this power for good!
FUCK YEAH! HOLY SHIDA!
😂😂😂 The Jarrett overbooked style of match is so fun while doing so little.
HOLY SHIT! R-V-D!
That was some cool shit. I appreciate the moment!
Beaut of a show today. Cole/MJF at All In, while historically not a match I'd have had much interest watching in that slot, works perfectly given the story they're going for. I suppose this means that we'll have CM Punk's off-brand world title being a separate entity longer than All-In, which is perfectly good, that story's got some legs on it for sure. I've had an inkling this eventually ends with Cole betraying MJF and validating everything he's always felt about not trusting people, which is a compelling story, but the concept of them actually staying friends after and proving to MJF that there's good in the world is equally compelling, could be fun.
So happy for Shida, she deserves a run in front of fans and the division needs a shake-up. I wasn't sure whether they'd be willing to do it tonight so it was a pleasant surprise.
Swerve getting the promo we've all been waiting for him to get. A true mega-heel promo that makes him look legit as hell. This is how you start getting his character to the levels we've all wanted him to get to.
And a win for Trent? Over Moxley/Penta? That's a heck of a win, glad for him.
The first bits of All In hype levels are starting to set in, and that's good.
So true about the MJF/Cole partnership. I loved how, at first, it seemed like Max would be the one to turn on Cole…but now everything suggests it's going to be the other way around. Just an excellent story that almost came out of nowhere.
And I'm happy for Shida too. How cool is it that the champ who wrestled in front of no one during the pandemic will be the champ at Wembley? So well deserved.
I'm glad Max just full-on ignored the whole storyline on Collision
MJF stole Roddys friend and turned face.
Roddy also still in a neck brace 😂😂😂
And Coles old friend the OGK show up as well.
Things are getting juicy.
Love Shida as a champion. Fingers crossed for a great run!
Same! I'm guessing this leads to Shida vs. Saraya at All In. But we'll see.
They dare censor Chuck?
Guess he's not on a Legends contract lol.
Even Jeff Jarrett, King of Bullshit Mountain himself, can't out-Bullshit The Elite. Gotta love it.
Komander and Vikingo are what happens when you ignore air resistance in real life
Air damage essentially heals them.
Bruuuhhh. Everybody gets tacks. I didn't expect this match to get so messy.
Pretty sure I saw Penta rip a tack out of his hand with his teeth and spit it out lol
If there's one guy on the roster as sick as Mox, it's Penta.
I've seen his Lucha Underground stuff, I know what he's capable of.
We are spoiled with the variety of matches we get on Dynamite. This sample of everything is everything I think the original vision was. This also makes me appreciate Collision taking a more focused old school approach.
I'm surprised Mox isn't bleeding already
Ten minutes in and he's still not bleeding. This is the biggest surprise of the night, R-V-D included.
This SOB really managed to become the biggest face. MJF is amazing
She kicked out a minute after!
Tony Khan is a madman. His music budget must be insane!
It was either that or use his TNA theme, so, you know, money well spent.
That was some aggressive dancing
Also I love them bringing back the powder intro
It's only been what--five years? And I'm already feeling a nice dose of nostalgia.
To be fair 2020 lasted a decade
lol Excellent point.

Having Toni/Shida as the main gives me hope that Shida will win. But that's probably what TK wants me to think...
It's only fitting to have an AEW rapping wrestler to win on Dynamite 200.
I love Daniel Garcia's sassiness.
It's the dancing that does it for me lol
Yay Trent!!!
What did MJF react to from the crowd there?
I missed it. Hopefully someone with bat ears can chime in.
Renee about to make Mox pull those tacks out of his ass so he'll learn
Damn, that looked like a lot of blood. 😬
At least a Mox and a half
I give it 0.85 Muta.
Someone get Roddy a Snickers
omg
This is awesome 👋👋👋👋👋
Trent won?! Wow. I was sure he was taking the pin.
Everything is hitting just right and we open with Judas. Happy to get this out way early and see what happens with the Don Callie Family.
Mox reaching into his pocket 👀
Another fun episode. The nostalgia kept a smile on my face all night. And the icing on the cake was Shida winning.
Cons: next week they're going back to the modern colour scheme :/
Hoping Shida wins tonight. Something has to happen with the women's belt, to say the absolute least.
Maybe Hayter is back
Sounds like she's going to be out for a while :/
Toni Storm and the Outcasts and Bullet Club Gold and the Gunn Club running things pls :)
Yes please. Sprinkle in some solid opposing factions and baby we got a stew goin'
MJF almost looks like a pleasant guy this week 😂😂
Who you got? Shida or Toni?
I'm taking Toni. But I want Shida.
Shida
We.must give her our energy durinf this picture in picture!!༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
I wish I could double boost this.
༼ つ ◕◕ ༽つ BOOOST ༼ つ ◕◕ ༽つ
I want Shida so bad. She needs a chance to shine in front of the crowds.
Probably Toni and maybe a setup for a rubber match
Ufh my internet was being a butt tonight and Dynamite kept buffering so I'll watch tomorrow sighhhhhhh it sounded amazing though :)
That's too bad. We might've hit a hundred comments with you here ;p
And you missed a good show. Post your thoughts later, if you can.
BIDDING WAR OF 2024
...Cody? lol
Feeling like Jericho might swerve Callis here, I wouldn't mind seeing the JAS go face for a bit
I kind of want Cole to beat cm punk and team better than you baby to defend the aew world title as co champions bthen crown the next aew champion in a triple threat elimination match at double or nothing or even later
