AEW
Dynamite “New Year’s Smash”
Orlando, Florida
Dec. 27th, 2023
This was a fun opening match and another great addition to the tournament. Moxley winning as unneeded though as he’s been a champ and pretty much nonstop main event level guy while Strickland could use it to solidify him as one. This was your typical triple threat though with a lot of match being one on one moments.
4 / 5
This was another good tournament match with a story behind it. Kingston never beat Bryan so him getting a clean win against a cocky guy was big. A lot of chops here and your typical Eddie hard hitting type style.
3.75 / 5
This was fine. Skye looks good against someone like Kris. The cheap win with Julia moves them along too.
2.5 / 5
This was all story. Hopefully this leads to somewhere as having MJF win vs 2 against established guys only to lose against masked guys is a risky move.
