AEW: Jeff Jarrett, Colt Cabana, Rick Ross? | NXT: Bron Breakker, Mandy Rose get challengers
AEW took a surprising turn for the worse after weeks of quality booking despite Full Gear approaching, while NXT continued making strides in its white-and-gold era. Host Adam Silverstein breaks down everything from both brands with the final two months of 2022 ahead. "The Silver King" kicks off with AEW [5:25] where surprising appearances by Jeff Jarrett, Katsuyori Shibata, Colt Cabana ... and Rick Ross were featured rather than top champions and challengers, creating a strange episode of Dynamite with few positives as The Elite and House of Black appear to be nearing returns. Next, Adam dives into NXT [40:50] with champions Bron Breakker and Mandy Rose returning to see challengers step up as R-Truth suffered a serious injury, Zoey Stark teased a heel turn and T-Bar appears to be morphing back into Donovan Dijak.
