Persephone drops TBS Title on Dynamite; Death Riders, Fletcher-Perry and other takeaways

PWTorch reports that Persephone lost the TBS Championship to Queen Aminata on the Oct. 28 episode of AEW Dynamite. The site framed the title change as a notable booking decision, praising Aminata’s work ethic while suggesting many fans had been invested in Persephone’s run and believed she still had more to offer as champion.

The same PWTorch rundown highlighted several other key moments from the show. The tag match pitting Jay White and David Finlay against Jon Moxley and Daniel Garcia (presented as Death Riders vs. The Cut) was singled out as a strong opening; the coverage noted Moxley’s early placement energized the crowd, Jay White worked well as a heel, Wheeler Yuta drew cheers, and Claudio has been re-established as a powerhouse in recent weeks. The writer also expressed concern the new group could rely too heavily on interference going forward.

Kyle Fletcher versus Jack Perry was praised for in-ring work and for a playful exchange involving Don Callis on commentary. PWTorch described the match as well wrestled and entertaining, with moments that registered strongly with the crowd.

Quick hits called out a New Level segment that felt sensible, an eye-catching spot where a thrown garbage can ended up back in Claudio’s hands, the third FTR vs. Motor City Machine Guns match as another solid chapter in that rivalry, and a Darby Allin vs. Josh Alexander bout that was entertaining but predictable. The report also noted a surprising out-of-ring detail: Darby plans to run a marathon in the coming week.

Among the misses, PWTorch criticized the decision to pair Tommaso Ciampa with Ilya Dragunov, arguing the pairing does not do justice to either performer and suggesting alternative directions for both men in AEW.
