Seth Rollins

The most brutal segment in pro wrestling this past week was the beating Dominick took, orchestrated by Seth Rollins alongside his disciple Murphy. Seth beat Dominick’s torso up so bad that afterward, Dominick’s chest and back were unrecognizable. What was really salt on an open wound was the laughing and sinister “Hello’s” from Seth directed at Dominick’s father Rey Mysterio.

 

The “Monday Night Messiah” is one of the top heels in all of pro wrestling. His promos each week sound more like sermons from a cult leader - both captivating and chilling. The dastardly tactics he employs to keep his power - from beating a teen or taking another man’s eye - have been sinister and maniacal.

Tully Blanchard

This week, Tully Blanchard reminded us all that you can’t call yourself the best if you don’t have the gold around your waist. His promo during this past week’s episode of AEW Dynamite was great! He gave a reality check to both the Young Bucks and FTR that you can pat yourself on the back as much as you want, but your praise means nothing if you are not winning big time championship matches. I thought that his promo was so good it sparked the much-needed heel turn by FTR as the team gave a spike pile driver to Ricky Morton. Tully has been waiting in the shadows alongside Shawn Spears for far too long. It is time for Tully to give a slap in the face to the rest of the AEW roster.

Mia Yim 

You know that you have had one hell of a day at work when you have to make two trips to the ER and compete in a match. That is exactly what Mia did on NXT this week. She accompanied Keith Lee - who was injured at the hands of a fireball to the face courtesy of Karrion Kross - to the ER, returned to the WWE Performance Center to win her match-up against Indi Hartwell, and headed back to the ER to be with Lee. I guess it’s all in a day’s work for the superstars of WWE, but it should be noted that Mia Yim is a “down since day one ‘ish” supporter of her man.

Ric Flair

I am not sure there has ever been a more genuine pro wrestler than Ric Flair. He is a man that truly lives his gimmicks and over the course of his legendary career he has given some of the best promos the world has ever seen. On Monday Night Raw he added another fantastic promo to his long list as he addressed Randy Orton. He allowed not only Orton but the viewer a “peak behind the curtain” and shared all his insecurities and hopes. It was passionate and riveting. I found myself forgetting that I was watching a television show as I was consumed by the emotional state of the “Nature Boy”.  After this promo, Flair was essentially written off Raw as he was punted in the head by the “Apex Predator.” If this is the last time we see Ric Flair in a storyline he went out on top with a great segment to close the show!

Chad Gable

I will not call him “Shorty G.” It is a stupid nickname and it is beneath such a talent to reduce him to a gimmick about being short. The reason Gable made my top 5 for this week is that he was given a new direction in an apparent heel turn. On Friday Night Smackdown he joined forces with Baron Corbin to take out Matt Riddle in a 2 on 1 attack. I am excited to see WWE treat Gable as an adult and not as a Saturday morning cartoon character from the 1990’s. Chad Gable has proven with his in-ring style and Olympic background that he can have a great match with anyone on the roster. He should also do really well on the mic as a heel which will allow him to air out his frustrations to the WWE universe.

Darby Allin

Darby Allin could be the best selling babyface in AEW. When he is on the receiving end of a powerful move, he throws his body in such a way that you can’t help but feel bad for the poor guy. To me, Allin is the 2020 version of Jeff Hardy. He has the uniqueness that draws you in and he has the underlying anger that makes you want to keep your distance. I have enjoyed Darby from the start of his AEW run and this week his match with Jon Moxley was one of his best to date. From his “coffin drop” to the paint on his face, Darby Allin is proving he is a talent that AEW can build around for years to come.

Best Friends

Whether it is their entrance to the ring in Sue’s van, a backstage promo with Orange Cassidy, or the in-ring hug, when the Best Friends are on AEW Dynamite I am smiling from ear to ear. The tag team has the special ability to be charming and relatable while also being serious contenders for the tag team championships. This week on Dynamite we were able to see all of the best elements of the Best Friends. Their win over Santana and Ortiz proves that they are a team in the title hunt. After their van was vandalized post-match, we saw that they are two men that you don’t want to cross. Don’t mess with Trent’s mom, Sue. Best Friends have been a bright spot for AEW and I hope sooner rather than later we see them as the tag team champions.

Legado del Fantasma

It has been a VERY long time since I have cared about or even given two looks at 205 Live. That has changed now that Legado del Fantasma rule the division with an iron fist. I have been entertained with the narrative they have pushed as the saviors of Lucha libre culture. Their attack on Fandango and Tyler Breeze was chilling and unsettling. The way the group laid out Breeze and Fandango was violent and the visual of the two laid on top of each other was great. The segment was capped off with a warning from the champion Santos Escobar to Isaiah “Swerve” Scott, another top talent in the 205 Live division. The ruthlessness of Legado del Fantasma is a breath of fresh air for what has been a struggling division.

Sonya Deville

Since the breakup of Fire & Desire, Sonya Deville has done her best work in WWE. She has been the breakout star with her heel work against Mandy Rose. This week she took her attacks to a new level by beating up her former best friend while Rose was getting ready for her date with Otis. Not only did Sonya beat Mandy’s head in she humiliated her by cutting off a chunk of her hair. Sonya has been incredible in this feud with passionate promos and memorable segments. She has been proving week in and week out that she is a badass woman who can stand on her own and she does not need to be in anyone’s shadow.

Sasha Banks and Bayley

The first spot is more of a legacy entry, to give credit to both Sasha Banks and Bayley as they have been the backbone of WWE programming during the Coronavirus era. They have taken a devastating situation and flourished with above-average heel work. Over the course of a couple of months they have gone from a nice feature on Friday nights to one of the best stories in all of pro wrestling. Now that they have all the gold as the tag champs and champions of both Raw and Smackdown the real fun starts. Will they be a black cloud over the women’s division and reign with fury? Will they become jealous of each other and self-implode? Only time will tell and with the advancement of their storyline I am excited to watch their future as the 2020 version of the “Two-Women Power Trip.”

MJF

The highlight from this week’s edition of AEW Dynamite was the promo that MJF cut on Jon Moxley as he challenged Moxley for the AEW Heavyweight Championship. In an election year, MJF played off of political themes with an American flag, podium, and what looks to be a new group of “supporters.” At times, his promo felt like he was running for office instead of challenging for the title. As usual, the promo from MJF was filled with numerous classic punchlines directed at the champ. My favorite line from this promo was, “a world champion shouldn’t cosplay as a certain wrestler. And that is a stone-cold fact.” This was obviously drawing attention to criticism of Jon Moxley as a wanna-be “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. I am hopeful this feud prompts AEW to recognize the talent they have in MJF. I want AEW to start to build around him instead of leaving him as a secondary part of the show. As he reminded all of us, “my talent outweighs your tenure.”

Mr. Brodie Lee

Brodie Lee had his fingerprints all over this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite. The Dark Order had two different tag team matches, one of which saw Mr. Lee ringside to keep a watchful eye on his disciples. I have enjoyed seeing Brodie lean more into the cult-like leader instead of a cosplay Mr. McMahon. Brodie Lee is selling the Dark Order as a real threat to the destruction of AEW, particularly when he displays his vengeful nature if someone fails him or foils his plans. Additionally, the deceptive head games he’s playing with Colt Cabana show that he is just getting started on his reign of terror.

Warhorse

I have seen Warhorse a few different times in person on the independent circuit for various promotions and each time has been memorable. Warhorse is a Surfer Sting mixed with Road Warrior Hawk and glimpses of Ultimate Warrior if Ultimate Warrior could wrestle. Also, what does “Warhorse rules ass” even mean? I don’t know but it makes me giggle. Add all of this plus his intro from Justin Roberts, and Warhorse would be a welcomed addition to the AEW roster. By the way, how can a human weight 4,000 lbs. of raw heavy metal?

Dexter Lumis

Dexter Lumis is creepy. I could leave it at that, and you would totally know what I mean if you have ever seen him in NXT. Dexter has such an interesting ring presence and his backstage segments leave my skin crawling.  This week he picked up a big win in a three-way match to earn his spot in the ladder match at NXT Takeover. I am very curious to see how his character and his offense will work at NXT Takeover. This a crucial match for him. An impressive showing could establish him as a real threat in the NXT universe.

Shelton Benjamin

Before this past Monday night, the last time Shelton Benjamin got a win on Raw it was against Super Crazy in 2006.  To put that in perspective, the last time Shelton won, iPhones had not yet been invented. Now take a second and reflect on that. That is wild to fathom, right? Not only did Benjamin make history with his win but he also became the only man in WWE history to win the Intercontinental, United States, Raw Tag-Team, and the 24/7 title. With all his landmark accomplishments, Shelton makes my top 5 for the week!

Bray Wyatt

The Swamp match against Braun Strowman was a fun distraction and welcomed change to an otherwise below-average pay-per-view at Extreme Rules. While it did not live up to the standard set by other cinematic matches like the Boneyard match or the Firefly Fun House match, it was a good effort. I applaud the chances Bray takes with his promos and his matches. He understands that to stand out you must do things differently than everyone else and must do them at a level that others are not willing to go to. Even when Bray misses on a creative idea he is still a highlight of the current WWE product. Whether it is as the “Fiend,” a cult leader, or as a host of a children’s TV show I am a huge fan of the many faces of Bray Wyatt.

The Good Brothers (Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows)

The Good Brothers, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows, made a huge impact (pun intended) on the world of pro wrestling and that impact is what lands them on my top 5 this week. First, they confirmed they were taking their talents to Impact Wrestling in a fun promo posted on Twitter. Then they made their voices heard, and as most others do after getting released from the WWE, they did a “shoot” interview. Both Anderson and Gallows took aim at Paul Heyman for being a “liar” and tore down other parts of the broken product from WWE. To cap off the eventful weekend they made their much-anticipated debut at Slammiversary. The “ball” is now in their court and they have the opportunity in Impact to back up what they have been saying all along – that they are “the best tag team in the world.”

Eddie Kingston

To be completely transparent Eddie Kingston is my current favorite independent pro wrestler. Now that you know that, let me state that even though I may be biased, his appearance on AEW Dynamite was incredible! At the very start of Dynamite Eddie made the first segment and open challenge feel important. He delivered a believable and captivating promo, running down both Cody and Arn Anderson. When he got his opportunity to wrestle Cody, he made the most out of what he was given. It was a great hardcore match that felt main-event-level even though it opened Dynamite. Post-match saw a groundswell of support for the “Mad King”, as #SignEddieKingston was trending on Twitter. Eddie Kingston is awesome, and I think he would do a lot of great things if AEW were to take a chance on him and make him a part of the full-time roster.

Bronson Reed

It has long seemed that Bronson Reed was liked by NXT, though he has not had a firm spot on the card. This week’s episode of NXT saw Bronson get a huge chance to establish himself as a main star on the roster. He shared the ring in a three-way match with established stars Johnny Gargano and Roderick Strong. Reed was impressive, with offensive abilities that seamlessly complemented those of his competitors.. This was a HUGE win for “Aus-zailla.” Next up for the “Thic Boy” is his first NXT Takeover match, a ladder match for the vacant North American championship. If Bronson Reed can perform as well as he did with his last opportunity the sky is the limit for the ambassador of “Australian Strong Style.”
