So, this week\u2019s episode of AEW Dynamite from Calgary, Alberta, Canada feels not just significant. It\u2019s not just because the winners of the third Owen Hart Cup Tournament will be known and number one contenders for the men\u2019s and women\u2019s top titles decided for All In<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

While my predictions for the Owen were all wrong<\/a>, the underlying point I made stands true.<\/p>\n

What matters as this year\u2019s Owen ends, like the Continental Classic<\/em><\/strong> in December, is the opportunity for AEW<\/strong> to take a strong step back toward \u201cthe feeling\u201d. And the scent of something familiar and thought gone for a while is in the air.<\/p>\n

The unpredictability. The fantasy booking and guess work of what happens next? Which direction will things go?<\/p>\n

What ripple effects will the results have across the whole promotion? How will it impact Blood and Guts<\/em><\/strong>, All In<\/em> and All Out<\/em><\/strong>?<\/p>\n

As I\u2019ve discussed in talking about AEW\u2019s future elsewhere, for AEW\u2019s business they need to focus on more than the feeling.<\/a> However, on an emotive week-to-week basis, this is what many fans have wanted.<\/p>\n

In pockets it\u2019s been here already this year, like gas in a coal mine. The explosions were at times short-lived and not always long-lasting with impact.<\/p>\n

This week\u2019s Dynamite<\/em><\/strong> offers strong action, the promise of more storyline and character development may be the secondary explosion to cause a larger chain reaction. Pop!<\/p>\n
