Set Up and Delivery: AEW Dynamite’s Improved Storytelling Methods
#aewdynamite #swervestrickland #storytelling
While All Elite Wrestling has been criticized for “not having stories“ by some of the online wrestling community, the past couple of weeks of AEW television suggest they may be addressing that perception.
AEW Dynamite on June 12, 2024 featured an abundance of a story craft technique we’ve mentioned on this channel before: set up and delivery. From Swerve Strickland being the center of multiple angles and setting up multiple matches around him, including the upcoming Blood and Guts match in July, to MJF and RUSH establishing another beat in their rivalry that will see the delivery happen next week commercial free, to even introducing CMLL, Stardom, and New Japan Pro-Wrestling stars in video packages (something missing in prior years before the Forbidden Door shows), the creative team in All Elite Wrestling are making strides that are noticeable to the keen eye.
