[VIDEO] I had the TV on for most of the two hours of AEW Wednesday Nite Dynamite on TNT, which in the new year is expected to move to TBS.
Anyway I missed this segment on that show where Jim Ross returned to the play-by-play booth after taking a medical leave for skin cancer treatment. Kyle O'Reilly joined his former NXT Undisputed Era stablemates Adam Cole (Bay-Bay) and Bobby Fish. References were made to the feud between Cole and O'Reilly before Cole left for AEW over the past summer.
Anyway you see O'Reilly speak with Cole about that feud from over the past summer and he already knows that factions are how you succeed in All Elite Wrestling. O'Reilly wonders if Cole has his back like Fish does. Bobby Fish also joined AEW over the past fall after his own release from WWE. O'Reilly and Fish had a long history before they even arrived in NXT winning tag team gold there.
Anyway since Cole arrived in AEW he has been aligned with the Young Bucks who interfered in a three man tag match in the main event between the Best Friends and Cole, O'Reilly, and Fish. Of course as Cole follows the Bucks after the match, O'Reilly and Fish seem to be left wondering where Cole's loyalty lies.
And now I can see what direction the above segment goes and perhaps the storyline going forward. Perhaps the feud between Cole and O'Reilly might be a huge deal in AEW as it was during the past summer in NXT.
However, I feel as if Cole will get lost in the shuffle in the talent stacked environment of AEW. Cole has the goods to be a main event talent, however, he seems relegated to the midcard and that's not where he belongs. It seems the creative plans for him in WWE before he moved on weren't that good for him as a talent and that's fine, but is AEW where he belongs to get to that next level.
All anyone can do is watch and see....While there are some talents I do enjoy seeing in AEW what I do find a tad troubling is having a stacked roster of good talent that aren't used very well.
