Kingston's Back on These Highways Moving Cakes

Eddie Kingston/Jon Moxley vs. 2.0 (Jeff Parker/Matt Lee) AEW Dynamite 9/15/21 - FUN

ER: It's nice having an undercard tag team in 2.0 who actually understand how to work as an undercard tag team when they're facing two stars. I've seen it happen too many times in AEW, where a team who is clearly not going to win still somehow gets to do all their Trademark Offense, and here is a team who knows the matches where they can work their regular cool offense and where they don't need to. In this match? Most of that isn't needed, and so they just work on jumping Moxley and absorbing shots rather than setting up multiple chain spots. Moxley gets to just act like a swinging blind man to get cut off, and 2.0 (with Daniel Garcia running even more distraction) get to just stick and move and land dropkicks and punches to Moxley's back. They are such wonderful flunkies that they make the crowd even more excited for a Kingston hot tag (a thing everyone in the building would be very excited to see anyway) because they just act like little punks who you'd like to see walloped. Kingston palm strikes Garcia off the apron, hits Parker with the backfist, spikes Lee with a DDT, then they waste Parker with the lariat/half nelson suplex. 2.0/Ever-Rise were one of the more entertaining TV acts of 2021, and a big part of that was them knowing when to show up and when to show off. Picking your spots only shows how well you get all of this. 

COMPLETE AND ACCURATE EDDIE KINGSTON
