Change Of Pace: Surprise Heel Turn Takes Place On AEW Dynamite

It’s a new direction. There are several different ways to present any given wrestler in the world and sometimes they need to do something new. You can only have a wrestler do things the same way for so long before a change is needed and that can make things all the more interesting. One of those changes might have taken place this week in a bit of a surprise.

Two weeks ago on AEW Dynamite, Christian Cage turned on Jurassic Express and cost them the Tag Team Titles in the process. Last week, Cage explained himself but was attacked by Luchasaurus, who he then talked down and left with, seemingly on good terms. This week, Cage introduced Luchasaurus, who came to the ring in new gear and defeated Serpentico, only to attack him again after the match. This seems to mark Luchasaurus’ first heel turn in the company, having been around since AEW’s inception.

Opinion: This is an interesting move on paper, but now we get to see what happens when Jungle Boy gets back. For now, the idea of Cage pulling the strings on a monster like Luchasaurus could work very well, though there are likely going to be a lot of twists before we actually get to that point. Cage alone can carry this pretty far though and that is almost all you need for something like this at the moment.

What do you think of the change? Where do you see the story going next? Let us know in the comments below.
