Jericho Returns: AEW Dynamite 4/1/26 Review | RAD
Chris Jericho return
Chris Jericho for the first time on AEW programming in nearly a year... he spent a lot of time just rallying this crowd... it kind of felt like this crowd like they were ready for the segment to start at this point and Jericho was just wanting this crowd to respond as loud as possible.
It felt as if Jericho was almost like trying to encourage a louder reaction because he wasn't satisfied... it came across like he was begging for a bigger reaction and at that point it almost signals that this is not a strong enough reaction.
WWE SmackDown mystery guest
We have breaking news. We have something announced for SmackDown. A video was just posted of Randy Orton... stating that the mystery man on the phone will show up on SmackDown.
I think if it's Dwayne Johnson, I feel like they would have announced that ahead of time rather than leave it as a surprise.
Will Ospreay injury/style
I heard Dave Meltzer say that Will Ospreay has told him that he would be wrestling with a new style or different style now that he's back from neck surgery. And this certainly maybe felt that and it told you that the style would be more emphasis on neck selling.
Chris Jericho contract/status
I wonder how much this guy made over the last year... it's quite possible he is the highest paid guy in AEW and you just sat him for a year and now he is back.
Kenny Omega storyline
Kenny literally could drop dead at any moment throughout his AEW tenure... I hope this sets up a spot in the match where they're like, okay look, we've had five near false finishes, he's about to hit him with the One-Winged Angel and then oh, his intestines explode and MJF wins.
AEW booking strategy
If you're AEW, if you're Tony Khan, how can you capture that feeling [of a return] while keeping Chris Jericho within your own company so that you stand to benefit from that fresh coat of paint?
Mike Bailey promo
Speedball Mike Bailey... I've said it many times, is Speedball ever going to win promo of the year? Far from it. But I thought that in this role, I do feel this guy has made strides in his speaking.
