As with every week, All Elite Wrestling announced a stacked lineup for Wednesday s Dynamite, but this week s show was a little different because AEW held a birthday party for Brodie Lee Jr.
The way AEW has continued to support Jon Huber s family has been amazing, and to see the company continue to feature his son so prominently is heartwarming.
This week also featured Cody Rhodes taking on Pretty Peter Avalon in a match The American Nightmare claimed would take him less than a minute to win.
The Inner Circle took its first step toward exploding this week with a three-way tag team match to determine which duo would be the official tag team of the group. Santana and Ortiz teamed up to take on the pairing of Chris Jericho and MJF, while Sammy Guevara tagged with Jake Hager.
