On Dynamite, Darby Allin became the new TNT Champion by beating Samoa Joe in the main event. Elsewhere on the card, MJF, Bryan Danielson, and other top stars were also involved.
"He's been working that big angle with The Acclaimed, said something about Jeff's wife and Kurt Angle, which got my attention. I said, 'I'm gonna watch this show to see what they do, and I watched it, and to my surprise and I'm not a big AEW fan, the show was good.
Mantell explained how the pacing helped the overall quality of the show and he believes Double J was behind it.
The show seemed to be slowed down and more concise and more pointed. I don't know how else to describe it, but it wasn't a bad show. It was a good show. So it looked like somebody took that show and threw this out, threw this out. I mean, there is a lot of extra stuff, if you watch the show, is not needed. And the only new guy there that has booking experience, that I know, is Jeff Jarrett and I think he may had a big hand in it. I don't know if it's Jeff but whoever had a hand in it but it was a good show." said Dutch Mantell [26:26-27:45]
