AEW Dynamite delivered a strong in-ring show this week, even if not every story clicked.

On this episode of Elite Heat, Tim and Dug break down a packed Dynamite featuring Jon Moxley defending the Continental Championship against Shane Taylor, Swerve Strickland battling Brody King in the Owen Hart Tournament, Andrade El Ídolo taking on Orange Cassidy, and a surprising Owen Hart Tournament result with Maya World replacing Sareee against Skye Blue.

We also dig into the latest Forbidden Door developments, including Kenny Omega vs. Zack Sabre Jr., the MJF and Mark Briscoe promo battle, the Don Callis Family drama with Kevin Knight and Andrade, and whether AEW is leaning too hard on multi-man matches.

Plus, we get into Mercedes Moné’s return video, Thekla’s AEW presentation, the confusing Chris Jericho/Tommaso Ciampa segment, Darby Allin crashing Kevin Knight’s promo, the state of the AEW women’s division, and why someone may need to put out a missing persons report for the women’s tag team champions.
