WOR Video: Fallout from AEW Dynamite

Nick Wayne made his AEW debut, and Kota Ibushi is heading to Blood & Guts.

Bryan Alvarez and Dave Meltzer discussed the big news coming from Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite. Prior to the main event segment. Nick Wayne made his AEW debut losing to Swerve Strickland. Dave thought it was a good, not great match, but wondered if having Wayne lose was the right call.

“He got over really big with the crowd,” he said. “The ringsiders were chanting for him…it would not have been my call for him to lose his debut. Swerve was more polished..the crowd really wanted him to win.”

The main event segment had Don Callis come out to announce his fifth member of the Blackpool Combat Club Blood & Guts team next week. Kenny Omega came out to confront Callis, but it ended up being a trap, with PAC making his return to attack Omega. Moxley, PAC, and Konosuke Takeshita were about to injure Omega when he told them to watch a video, which revealed Kota Ibushi as The Elite’s fifth member.

Meltzer has high expectations for the match, putting over the wrestlers involved.

“As far as the promise of the match goes, it could really be one the best matches of the year. It really could. The expectations are really high on that one.”
