AEW Dynamite’s Portland show delivered a widely praised TV match as Darby Allin battled Tommaso Ciampa, a bout many are calling a TV Match of the Year contender and adding to Ciampa’s strong run after matches with Briscoe and Fletcher. The episode also featured Will Ospreay vs. Davis, which saw the Death Riders assault Ospreay with kendo sticks, Darby demanding Max put something on the line for a rematch (sparking theories about the Hangman stipulation), and crowd chants for Cody and the C4 crew.
