The AEW Dynamite Awards are later this month, and the nominees have been announced following what was a great year for the wrestling organization. Some tough calls had to be made. Let’s not waste anymore time..

Cody Rhodes accepts Brodie Lee’s Dog Collar Challenge
Jon Moxley accepts the Inner Circle Invitation from Chris Jericho
Brandi Rhodes confronts Jade Cargill
Orange Cassidy debates Chris Jericho
The Brandi walkout was to be expected, but not with the force we got it. And social media was talking about it for the rest of the week. “Do not comeback unless I send for you!”..Wow. Andthe brawl that followed was just awesome.
Really, it should have been MJF quoting Drake.
Biggest Surprise:
Matt Hardy Debut
Jake The Snake Roberts confronts Cody Rhodes
Brodie Lee arrives as the Exalted One

Miro revealed as the Best Man
The snow. The cold breath on a chilly night in Jacksonville. The set-up. It all worked.
Category Biggest Beatdown:
The Inner Circle beats up Orange Cassidy
The Dark Order attacks the Nightmare Family

Pac
They’re all great. But the pandemic and injuries made the decision.
