One of the biggest takeaways from this week's Dynamite was the opening match between Bryan Danielson and Kenny Omega. Those watching the entire bout closely from the arena knew that this was a big fight feel. The roof of Arthur Ashe Stadium came off when both men were standing toe-to-toe.
Both men left no stone unturned in delivering a match of the year contender. Danielson, who was making his in-ring debut tonight, locked Omega in a Labell Lock seconds before the referee called for the bell as no clear winner emerged after 30 minutes. The bout ended in a time-limit draw.
It goes without saying that the company killed two birds with one stone by protecting both men and giving fans a spine-chilling encounter at the same time. Bryan Danielson and Kenny Omega proved why they're amongst the top technically sound wrestlers of this generation.

It left people hungrier and more desperate to see more action from these men. All Elite Wrestling raised the bar for their show by booking two top-tier stars for the opening match.
Fans are wondering when they will get to see a rematch. Will it be for the AEW World Championship? Will there be a clear winner next time? Guess we have to wait to find out what Tony Khan has in store for Danielson and Omega moving forward.
