Scheduled for Wednesday's edition of AEW Dynamite is Rey Fenix vs. Lance Archer with the winner moving onto the Face The Revolution Ladder Match. Given their different styles and how strong they have each looked in recent months, this is a match that in my mind, shouldn't be overlooked. On paper, it sounds like a lot of fun playing off the classic speed and finesse vs. power and brawling motif but turned up to 11 given who we are talking about here. I feel like this gets said all the time, but Fenix's athleticism and timing is so far off the charts and Archer has been picking up some nice momentum again in recent weeks. Archer is always a great base for the aerial talents as well, so that allows for cool potential moments and spots for Fenix to look spectacular while fighting to overcome being mauled by Archer. There's always fun to great matches in AEW but this is one that should probably not be overlooked based on the potential here. I say that especially as all signs are that this will likely main event Dynamite, giving them a chance to really break through and solidify themselves as important cornerstones with a great performance. As I said on last night's PPV audio, one thing that AEW does a lot of is giving a lot of talents, especially younger ones, a chance to sink or swim in order to find themselves and get important experience. With Archer vs. Fenix, you have two talents who have that experience already but are being given a true shot here to steal the show and ascend to the next level. If you are someone who is always looking for the diamonds in the rough that don't get enough attention or hype, that sounds like this match to me.

Speaking of which, if you need your feel-good moment for the month, Santana's Tweet today is pretty much guaranteed to be it:
What a moment. As a kid, wrestling figures were my life. I never thought that one day I’d not just have my own, but have my kid be able to say that her Papi was immortalized in plastic...
