The big stories coming out of Dynamite (Apr. 29, 2020) were Cody Rhodes and Lance Archer advancing to the TNT Championship tournament final. Fallout from the show includes reaction from the winners and losers, as well as other goodies.
Darby Allin lost to Cody Rhodes via surprise crucifix pin after a Coffin Drop. This photo perfectly captures their reactions to the finish.
Their faces say it all. Was this match in your #AEWTop5 moments from this past Wednesday?

To say @DarbyAllin is disappointed would be an understatement.

Lance Archer took out Dustin Rhodes. He’ll meet the other Rhodes brother in the final. Cody can’t run anymore from the Murder Hawk Monster.
The #MurderHawkMonster @LanceHoyt left #TheNatural a bloody mess.

Will he do the same to the #AmericanNightmare Cody?

Cody doesn’t need any extra inspiration to take down Archer, but he’ll be doing it as a symbol of hope for the fans.
Guess I’m the underdog huh?

Fans may not be in the arenas, but I’ve never felt more connected to them. Thank you for still loving, arguing about, analyzing the game.
Wrestling isn’t essential, but hope should be and I’m dedicating this match to all those who still have hope. https://t.co/PXqPnP9UvS
After losing to the Best Friends, Kip Sabian and Jimmy Havoc were quite frustrated with Orange Cassidy. Havoc also introduced their new team name.
SOCIAL EXCLUSIVE: Even in defeat, a new path can emerge.@TheKipSabian & @JimmyHavoc look to take over the entire #AEW Tag Team division.

Superbad Death Squad has a point. Penelope Ford did mind her own business for the most part until OC came back out to interfere. I hope Havoc lives up to his promise of throwing a chair in Cassidy’s face every chance he gets. That’s TV I want to see.
What should be Darby Allin’s next step? What odds to you give Cody Rhodes of defeating Lance Archer? Do you like addition of the Superbad Death Squad to the tag team division?
