What they're saying

"
Motor City Machine Guns and FTR split the first two matches of their ongoing best-of-five dream match series. The pivotal third match took place on tonight’s (Oct. 28) Fright Night episode of Dynamite. This was Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley’s debut match on Dynamite after signing with AEW in July, which usually means they should win. However, pro wrestling psychology typically puts the babyfaces behind in this situation of a multi match series. The former theory proved to be the governing force as MCMG won a very close match to take a 2-1 series lead.

That gesture backfired, of course. Big Stoke threw some kind of powder in their eyes; Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler immediately pounced and tried to injure MCMG, making Sabin and Shelley the apparent underdogs for the remaining matches in the series.
