AEW WrestleDream 2024: Anticipation and Match Highlights
WrestleDream 2024, set to unfold in Tacoma, Washington, promises a so-so night for wrestling fans with a packed card featuring 12 matches. Highlights include Atlantis Jr. defending the ROH World Television Championship against Brian Cage and a high-stakes encounter between Bryan Danielson and Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship.
The hosts also delved into other intriguing matchups, such as Darby Allin versus Brody King and the Young Bucks defending their tag titles against Private Party. As they discussed the overall card, Simon expressed concerns over the quality of the matches, especially highlighting Jay White’s current trajectory in AEW. “AEW has really devalued Jay White,” he remarked.
Current WWE Storylines and Upcoming Matchups
Shifting their focus to WWE, Simon and North analyzed the ongoing storylines and the upcoming Crown Jewel event. Dave Simon critiqued the recent segments featuring Liv Morgan and Nia Jax, mentioning the convoluted nature of their narratives, which often lead to mixed signals for the audience.
Johnny North chimed in, emphasizing how these storylines affect the character dynamics within WWE. “The problem is trying to cash in on Liv is terrible right now. She got too much backup, so I think that’s going to screw up.” They also discussed the looming confrontation between Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan, suggesting that Ripley is positioned as the dominant force in the women’s division.
