AEW Dynamite August 23rd, 2023: Fyter Fest

Surprised Christian didn't shoot on Fox's dead grandma but I guess maybe even he draws the line at fathers

 

[Hoss]

Also I don't mind the re-turn, especially because of how historically quick Sting is to forgive people and Darby himself kinda comes from squalor so I can understand him being kind of forgiving of someone doing bad shit if he feels their heart is in the right place

 

[Hoss]

Plus I think Fox fits nicely with The Little Stingers

 

[Hoss]

Although the Swerve team was/coulda been awesome as well

 

[Comrade Khan]

I'm hoping it finally leads to Ej debuting

Oooooooh good point, which given Sting's history... this can only mean AR Fox just going to re-re-turn when they all get back from overseas.

Dang, I really liked the pairing of Fox and Swerve too. I get he can’t go to Wembley but I don’t think he had to be kicked from the group. I do like the replacement being Christian Cage though so I can’t complain too much.

That would be a better idea as I love AR Fox with Swerve and this felt like a bad panic move due to real life stuff

 

[Roy Mustang]

Feel like if that is not the plan, there is a better way to get to this point

Lmao they're playing the old song I wonder if that's a botch

At this point I'm going to be surprised if the AEQ guys ever play thr correct NJPW songs if there's been a change within the last 6 months they played Zack's old one at Forbidden Door too

 

[Butters]

My guess is fox was gonna lose the match for them and swerve was gonna kick him so they sped it up. Im also hoping they show nick upset that he forgave him so fast and maybe it turns nick or darby heel.
