AEW Dynamite comes on the air with Excalibur welcoming us alongside Tony Schiavone and Taz, as the music for Jungle Boy Jack Perry hits and he walks out with a microphone in hand.

The Pillars of AEW Face Off

(The crowd wasn’t as hot for this face off as you’d expect, but I liked that each one of the pillars got another chance to make their case on why they should become the next challenger. We ultimately have our answer in how this will be settled, which starts tonight.)

Before Perry could get a sentence out, Sammy Guevara’s music interrupted, but before Guevara could talk, Darby Allin made his entrance as well. Allin said he’s known Guevara the longest, likes him the most, but is the least qualified to challenge for the World Title since he’s a follower. While Allin & Sting view each other as equals, Guevara is a follower to Chris Jericho, who Allin thinks is holding Guevara back. Allin said Perry had to work the least hardest to get here since he’s part of the California kliq. Allin was jealous of Perry initially, but he realized nothing about Perry intimidated him.

Perry said he saw kids painting their face like Allin, but if they only knew what Allin was really like. Perry said AEW was Allin’s second choice, after failing as a skateboarder. Guevara is relaxing in the corner when Perry called him a dirt bag. Perry respects Guevara for putting his body on the line, but he’s still a scumbag P.O.S.

Guevara said Perry hates MJF, but in reality, he’s just like him. Guevara said he & Allin are two sides of the same coin, risking everything to make it. Allin is an inspiration to him, losing many of his early matches, but winning the first title out of all the pillars, breaking the glass ceiling. Guevara said everything Allin did, Guevara has done it better. It’s now time for Allin to sit back and watch Guevara become World Champion. Perry said to put it on the blogs; he’s the one who will become World Champion.

MJF’s music hit and he ran down Pittsburgh for thinking Britt Baker is talented. MJF said he’s blushing that everyone is talking about little old him. MJF said he talked to Tony Khan and they will have a Pillars Tournament, with the winner facing MJF at Double or Nothing for the AEW Title. MJF had a hat brought out and pulled out Darby Allin’s name saying that Allin gets a bye. That means Perry will face Guevara tonight and the winner faces Allin next week on Dynamite in the Finals.

AEW Women’s Champion Jamie Hayter & Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. defeated Ruby Soho & Toni Storm (w/Saraya)

(An action packed tag match with the hometown Baker shining the most of the four ladies. A story could be told coming out of this with Storm doing a number on Hayter’s shoulder, so that could come into play down the line, as Hayter was helped to the back by doctors.)

Pre-match, Saraya got into it with Baker’s family in the front row, even spray painting Baker’s mother. Soho & Storm attacked during the entrance and pyro for Baker & Hayter, as the ladies brawled ringside. Hayter mowed down both Soho & Storm in the ring to officially start the match, as she ran wild with a double suplex, but was cut off by Saraya, who ran for her life as a result. Hayter avoided a Storm Tornado DDT on the floor and drove her into the barricade. Soho & Storm overtook Hayter as Baker tried a Panama Sunrise off the apron, but ate a kick to put The Outcasts in control during commercial.

Hayter dropped Storm with a DVD onto the knee and made the hot tag to Baker, as the crowd went crazy. Baker cleaned house with a Sling Blade on Storm and hangman’s neckbreaker in the corner on Soho, as Baker took out the glove for Lockjaw, but Storm hit a German Suplex. Baker countered Storm Zero into an Air Raid Crash, but Soho broke it up. Ripcord stereo elbows by Baker & Hayter who dropped Storm with a Hayt-breaker, as Baker nearly got the pin. Storm hit a violent Sweet Cheek Music on Baker, as Saraya clocked her with the title and Storm hit Storm Zero, but Baker kicked out at two.

Storm & Hayter brawled on the floor with Storm zoning in on Hayter’s shoulder to limit a future lariat. Baker laid out Soho with a Panama Sunrise, but only got a near fall. Soho kicked out of a Curb Stomp, but Baker sank in the Lockjaw and got the submission.

-Renee Paquette is backstage with Wardlow who said he once had a Horseman in his corner to help him out and give advice. Tonight, he reached out to another Horseman to help him even the playing field since QT Marshall is in Powerhouse Hobbs’ corner, as in walked Arn Anderson. He said Tully Blanchard is a smart guy, who was one of the best checkers players, but tonight, they’re playing chess.

The Elite return to address the Blackpool Combat Club

(An excellent brawl and story told here with the fake out of Callis running off like a coward, only to bring in backup in the form of the man he was trying to recruit not that long ago. This gives The Elite even numbers in their quest to battle the BCC.)

Omega started by saying the BCC were four of the most respected wrestlers, but then they made his friends bleed, sent Don Callis to the hospital and tried to put them on the shelf. Omega called the BCC out quickly and said they need to settle this right now. Bryan Danielson was on the big screen calling them amateurs, as it was nothing but a ruse to get The Elite distracted long enough for Moxley, Castagnoli & Yuta to attack from behind. A wild brawl ensued with Nick Jackson clearing the barricade to attack Castagnoli, while Matt Jackson hit locomotion Northern Lights suplexes on Yuta. Moxley locked in a rear naked choke on Omega, who in turn sent Moxley spilling front row into the lap of Britt Baker’s family.

Yuta cut off Matt’s superkick by cracking him in the injured shoulder with a title belt, while Castagnoli dropped Nick with a powerbomb. Yuta briefly locked on Cattle Mutilation on Matt, as Moxley hit Death Rider on Omega. This brought out Danielson from the back, as the BCC surrounded Omega. Don Callis ran out with a chair from the back, but saw the numbers were against him, so he dropped the chair and ran away.

Danielson said Omega has the most potential of all of The Elite, but if he doesn’t want to reach that potential, then he needs to be gone and pulled out the screwdriver. Callis came running out from the back with Konosuke Takeshita, who sprinted to the ring to fight off the BCC. Omega recovered as he & Takeshita ran everyone off with Callis standing tall, raising the hands of both men. The Young Bucks joined in, as Danielson was furious as Takeshita showing up.

Wardlow (w/Arn Anderson) defeated Powerhouse Hobbs (w/QT Marshall & Harley Cameron) to win the TNT Title

(The two big men really slugged it out in this one, as we not only have a new champion, but what appears to be the next challenger for Wardlow’s third TNT Title reign. I know the TNT Title bounces around quite a bit, but I’m surprised Hobbs reign has already come to an end. The crowd was loudly behind Wardlow during this match.)

There is no Aaron Solo with the QTV crew after being powerbombed off the stage last week. We also saw a clip of Marshall turning on The Nightmare Family two years ago and forming The Factory. Wardlow rushed Hobbs early, but Hobbs quickly turned the tables with multiple belly to belly suplexes. Both men spilled outside and brawled into the crowd where Wardlow tried a powerbomb, but Hobbs avoided and we got more brawling during break until Hobbs took over.

Hobbs wanted a superplex, but Wardlow shoved him off and connected with a senton. A big slugfest ensued with the crowd loudly behind Wardlow, as they traded lariats with Wardlow dropping the champion. After Hobbs ate a roundhouse lariat by Wardlow, Cameron jumped on the apron to run distraction, but Anderson followed. This allowed Marshall to drop Wardlow with a Cutter. Hobbs hit the spinebuster for two, as a furious Marshall jumped in the ring. Anderson followed, pulled out the finger gun, as Marshall bailed up the ramp where he was met with a waiting superkick by Penta El Zero Miedo. Marshall stumbled back into the ring where Anderson planted him with a spinebuster.

Hobbs got a school boy on Wardlow for two, as Wardlow was up first and hit a pop up powerbomb. After a second powerbomb, Wardlow signaled for the symphony and hit a third powerbomb to win the match and TNT Title for the third time. Before Wardlow could celebrate, Christian Cage’s music hit and he walked out with Luchasaurus as we got a stare down between new TNT Champion and who appears to be his first challenger.

-Renee Paquette tried to interview Sammy Guevara before his match with Jungle Boy, but MJF interrupted loudly calling him Gene Simmons on meth with how much he sticks his tongue out. MJF wanted to pay off Guevara to get in the main event of Double or Nothing and take the fall, but Guevara refused. MJF handed over a blank check, turned his back and told Guevara to name his price. Paquette smirked, as MJF is blown away by the price Guevara set, but agrees and wants to shake his hand. Guevara said friends don’t shake hands, they hug.

Jay White (w/Juice Robinson) defeated Komander

(A strong showing for Switchblade’s Dynamite debut, as Komander I thought looked a lot better than his match with Sammy Guevara a few weeks ago. Komander was less reliant on the springboard so much, although he did manage to wow the crowd with a few. Bullet Club Gold seem to have their next match already lined up.)

White faked the good guy act with handshake and sportsmanship early, as he suckered Komander in with a cheap shot. We see a shot of Shawn Spears in the crowd watching, as Komander used his speed to gain control. An insanely amount of springboards led to a somersault hurricanrana that sent White to the outside. Komander signaled for his rope walk, but White cut him off. Komander tried a moonsault to the floor, but White side stepped and drove him into the apron.

White controlled during commercial until he noticed Shawn Spears, which distracted enough for Komander to take control with chops and crazy flipping roll up for two. White popped up quick and turned Komander inside out with a lariat. Komander suckered White into the ropes, knocking him to the floor, as Komander went to the opposite side of the ring and did his breathtaking rope walk dive. Back inside, Komander did a rope walk Shooting Star Press, followed by a springboard Phoenix Splash for another near fall. Komander tried to wrench at the arm of White, who countered into a cutthroat suplex followed by Blade Runner to get the win.

Post match, Robinson dragged Spears over the barricade as he & White started a beat down before Ricky Starks ran to the ring. Robinson was dropped with a Spear, as White bailed with Bullet Club Gold retreating.

-Renee Paquette is backstage with FTR, as she told them Mark Briscoe was being tended to by medical staff after being attacked by The Varsity Athletes. FTR ran into the trainer’s room where Briscoe was with Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt, Jeff Jarrett & Satnam Singh. Briscoe said he could fight, but the doctor said no, so Briscoe suggested Lethal, Jarrett & FTR do it for him. Everyone not named Mark Briscoe wasn’t a fan of this, but all reluctantly shook hands.

**********

Chris Jericho & Adam Cole Face to Face

Cole said he modeled his style after Jericho and looked up to him, as now they’re both in the same ring together, with Cole saying he has a lot of respect for Jericho. A handshake was offered from Jericho, as the two shook hands, with Jericho said he has absolutely zero respect for Cole, who is an arrogant son of a bitch. Cole is lucky Jericho doesn’t slap him in the face for the disrespect shown last week. Cole called Jericho a jag off and got a chant from the crowd, with Cole calling him hypocritical. Cole said Jericho could be the Demo God, but he views him as an insecure, fickle, stupid idiot. No more games from Cole, as they’re face to face, so questioned now what?

Jericho mentioned the saying to never meet your idols and if Cole was smart, he’d leave the ring. Jericho shoved Cole and a brawl started before Daniel Garcia ran in from behind to put the boots to Cole with Jericho until Britt Baker ran out and slapped Jericho. The Outcasts appeared from under the ring and they all beat down Baker. Garcia handcuffed Cole to the bottom rope, while The Outcasts forced Baker to watch. Jericho was about to hit Cole with a kendo stick, but handed it to Saraya instead, forcing Cole to watch Baker beaten down. Baker pleaded by screaming Cole’s real name, Austin, as Cole begged Jericho & crew to stop. Jericho & Saraya hugged with The Outcasts & J.A.S. members standing tall.

-The Hardys, Isiah Kassidy & HOOK cut a brief video about how Stokely & The Firm should keep their phones on to find out when their match at the Hardy Compound will take place. Jeff said he’ll address the AEW fans for the first time since his return on Rampage this week.

The Acclaimed (Anthony Bowens & Max Caster) & Billy Gunn defeated Matt Menard, Angelo Parker & Jake Hager

(There’s always a match every week to happen almost entirely during commercial and this was that contest. Regardless, am I the only one who didn’t know that if The Acclaimed lost this match they would’ve had to join the J.A.S? I heard this during the match and had no clue.)

Before Bowens could say his go home line, the J.A.S. attacked, but The Acclaimed quickly gained control with Scissor Me Timbers on Parker. We immediately went to picture in picture as Parker, Menard & Hager controlled throughout. Gunn made the hot tag ran wild, trying a Fame Asser on Hager, who countered into a double leg slam. Bowens & Menard made the tag with Parker trying to use what Excalibur called a loaded comb, but hit Hager by mistake. I give credit to Excalibur for saying that with a straight face. Gunn broke the comb, which broke Parker’s heart at the same time, as Bowens hit The Arrival, and Caster connected with The Mic Drop for the win.

**********

Sammy Guevara defeated Jungle Boy Jack Perry by count out

(To say this was an action packed main event would be an understatement, as these two crammed in a Pay Per View amount of action into a ten or twelve minute TV main event with a commercial. The new best friend duo of MJF & Guevara was too much for Perry to overcome. This count out finish keeps Perry in the picture, just not for the moment.)

Both men took turns connecting with dives outside in the early going. Perry went to the top, but waited too long, allowing Guevara to hit a Spanish Fly into a double down as these two are going a mile a minute out the gate. Perry blocked a boot on the apron and flipped Guevara, who landed on his feet. Perry tried an attack in the ropes, but Guevara hit a pump knee and Spanish Fly off the apron to the floor. During commercial, they brawled into the crowd until Guevara gained the upper hand.

MJF is shown backstage applauding “his friend” Guevara, as Perry bounced out of the corner with a comebacker lariat with Darby Allin shown watching from the rafters. Perry planted Guevara with a sunset flip powerbomb on the apron, which was followed by a crazy diving Destroyer off the top. Perry got hung up on the ropes, as Guevara missed a Shooting Star, only to land on his feet and drop Perry with a springboard cutter.

Guevara connected with a gnarly back suplex into an Implant DDT that drove Perry right on his head. Guevara wanted the GTH, but Perry countered into a Poison Rana. Guevara countered a comeback lariat with a Poison Rana of his own, as the momentum landed Perry on his feet and he clobbered Guevara with a forearm to the neck. Both men started a slap and forearm battle on their knees, but Perry picked the leg and sank in the Snare Trap. Guevara got the rope break, but Perry hung him up in the ropes. Guevara got free, charged and dropkicked Perry off the ropes, as he went flying off into the ring attendant table face first.

Perry was about to beat the count when Guevara took the ref and MJF appeared, laying out Perry with his diamond ring. Referee Bryce just started his count up at 9 and ultimately counted Perry out, which was pretty ridiculous not to start from one, but they’re low on time, I get it. MJF celebrated with Guevara on his shoulders to end the show, as Guevara ultimately slowly picked up the AEW Title, handing it to MJF and celebrated more. Allin was shown in the rafters shaking his head.

AEW Dynamite comes on the air with Excalibur welcoming us alongside Tony Schiavone and Taz, as they go right to the entrances for our opening contest.

Darby Allin defeated Swerve Strickland (w/Prince Nana & Brian Cage)

(This was an excellent opener with Allin getting a hard fought win, similar to the other pillars in recent weeks in their quest to get the next AEW World Title shot. Strickland and Allin always have great chemistry whenever they fight and this was no different.)

Strickland came out with Prince Nana & Brian Cage after joining Mogul Affiliates with The Embassy last Friday on Rampage. Allin wasted no time with a float over stunner and low tope outside, as Strickland avoided a Coffin Drop, but not a somersault senton to the floor by Allin. Strickland fought back, but as he balanced on the guard rail, Allin knocked him off and hit a charge. Allin tried offense off the steel steps, but got his feet swept from under him, as Strickland pulled the belt off Allin and whipped him with it while Sammy Guevara & Tay Melo were watching backstage. Allin shot a double leg, but Strickland responded with a spin knee to the face for two, busting open Allin’s mouth. Allin fought and bit his way back into it, but ate a thrust kick on the apron and slingshot double stomp to the floor, which Strickland might have tweaked his ankle in the process.

During break, Strickland worked over Allin’s back and ribs, including a torture rack back breaker. Strickland got hung up in the ropes, as Allin took off his boot and bit at Strickland’s foot. Allin hooked a knee bar, but Strickland rolled through and we got a slug fest until Strickland blocked a Coffin splash into a German suplex. Strickland tried a brainbuster, but Allin countered into a Scorpion Death Drop in mid air and went right back to the knee bar, as Jungle Boy Jack Perry was watching backstage as well. Both men fought on the apron where Allin hit an incredible Poison Rana to the floor. Allin hit a Coffin Drop in the ring, but Prince Nana put Strickland’s foot on the rope.

Allin stalked Nana up the ramp until Brian Cage emerged as Allin thought better, went back to the ring and ate a Strickland House Call kick and double stomp off the top for a close two. Cage tripped up Allin long enough for Strickland to attempt to use a chair, but thought better, as the ref was staring right at him. Strickland rolled right in to a Code Red for two, but Allin hooked The Last Supper for the pin. Right as Allin got the pin, MJF’s music hit and the AEW World Champion walked to the stage, microphone in hand, as we went to commercial.

**********

MJF, Darby Allin & Sting Confrontation

(This was an entertaining segment with Allin cutting a really good promo on why he wants to be the one to unseat MJF as champion. The involvement of Sting I really enjoyed too, as it gave Allin the rub, while mentioning how his own career is winding down.)

MJF ran down the crowd, calling them Mid-waukee, as he congratulated Allin on his win without Sting’s help. MJF said their match at Full Gear 2021 was one of the best in AEW history and MJF beat him with a headlock takeover. Allin isn’t on the level of the Devil. Allin asks if MJF is happy, as six years ago they wrestled in front of 30 people and MJF was miserable then and he’s miserable now. Allin said he was miserable, but sought out therapy, it helped him and he used money from AEW to buy his parents a house. Sting isn’t his father; he’s one of his best friends and said this is just MJF’s 15 minutes. Allin got in MJF’s face and said if he has more to say, keep talking, as MJF called him an arrogant little boy. MJF is sick of the morals of Allin, Jungle Boy and Guevara, as morals kill careers in this sport. MJF says Allin thinks he’s a daredevil, when he’s actually a coward, while MJF couldn’t care less if he’s on his death bed alone, as he’s willing to do whatever it takes to leave a legacy. MJF’s legacy will be greatest champion of all time, while Allin’s will be simply Sting’s bitch.

Sting’s music hit and he came to the ring to a huge ovation. Sting said he doesn’t view himself as a daddy day care kind of guy, but more of a cheerleader. Sting took out pom poms from his jacket and talked about Cody Day Care, as Cody was a cheerleader for MJF just like Sting is for Allin, just like Ric Flair was for Sting as he started his career. Sting talked about The Crow, Wolfpack and Joker days and said he doesn’t have a thirst for the World Title anymore, as Showtime is almost over for Sting, but just starting for Allin. Sting told MJF that Darby Allin will become AEW World Champion mark his words. Allin said he’s the one to end MJF’s reign of terror, as MJF spat in his face and bailed.

**********

Powerhouse Hobbs (w/The QTV Crew) defeated Silas Young to retain the TNT Title

(The hometown boy Young got mowed down, as the bigger story was the big return of Wardlow, who made a statement in wiping out one of Hobbs’ crew.)

We saw an insert of Hobbs pulling up to the arena in the car gifted to him by QT Marshall last week. Hobbs mowed down Young with a spinebuster and followed with the Town Bidness for the quick victory. Poor Silas Young never got out of the gate.

Post match, Hobbs & Marshall dragged Young up the ramp until we saw Wardlow walk up to the car in the parking lot. Wardlow smashed the windows, scratched it up, destroying it before turning and looking at a fork lift, which he drove through the window. Wardlow tipped the car completely over, smirked and walked away, as an angered Hobbs was about to powerbomb Young off the ramp through a table when Wardlow ran out and the brawl started. Wrestlers, referees and agents tried to separate them with Aaron Solo piggybacking Wardlow, only to get powerbombed off the stage through tables for his troubles.

-A video package about Bullet Club is shown with Switchblade Jay White & Juice Robinson saying they were the best of the bunch, calling themselves the Bang Bang Gang. Robinson asked Ricky Starks how the Blade Runner felt last week, as White said he’s here to claim what is rightfully his, as this is only the beginning, this is Bullet Club Gold.

Orange Cassidy defeated Buddy Matthews (w/Julia Hart) to retain the AEW International Title

(I thought the story these two told over the course of this match was great. Cassidy was fighting from behind almost immediately with his injured hand, but managed to fight through the pain and retain his title yet again. Commentary really drove home how Cassidy has had to come up with different ways to defend the title.)

Cassidy used the speed early with a tilt a whirl head scissors, but as he tried for a dive, Matthews quickly cut him off. Cassidy put the hands in his pockets, dropkicked Matthews to the floor and hit a dive, but Matthews caught a cross body off the top back inside. Cassidy countered into the Satellite DDT and Orange Punch, but Cassidy’s hand is taped up, so he couldn’t follow up as doctors checked on him. As Cassidy took off the tape of his hand, Matthews stomped on it and took over during commercial.

Matthews blocked a Satellite DDT, but Cassidy fought back by driving Matthews repeatedly into the corner buckles. Both men traded superkicks on the apron, as Matthews again blocked a DDT, this time responding with a pump knee. Matthews wanted a Destroyer, but Cassidy countered into Beach Break on the apron. Both men beat the count at nine and started a forearm battle back in the ring. Matthews went back to the bad hand, but tried to mock the little kicks and opted to knee Cassidy flush in the face. Cassidy fought back with a Stundog Millionaire and Superman forearm. Cassidy tried a superplex, Matthews reversed, but Cassidy countered into a massive avalanche DDT. Cassidy hit a diving DDT on the floor and leaping DDT off the top inside for two.

Cassidy tried the Orange Punch; Matthews hit a pump knee, attempted Murphy’s Law, only for Cassidy to get the Orange Punch for a near fall. Matthews dared Cassidy to punch him, as he suckered Cassidy in with a pump knee, while Cassidy dared Matthews this time. Matthews blocked the Orange Punch with a Curb Stomp for two, tried Murphy’s Law, but Cassidy got the Mouse Trap for the flash pin.

-We see a quick vignette for Christian Cage and Luchasaurus as Cage said some things have changed. Luchasaurus had new gear during this.

**********

-Renee Paquette is backstage with Best Friends and Orange Cassidy, as Trent said that Cassidy was fine and will continue to defend the title. Trent said he & Chuck are a little jealous, so they challenge Aussie Open to defend their IWGP Tag Team Titles on Rampage this Friday.

-Ethan Page is in the ring and talked about the rough patches The Firm have been going through in recent weeks. Page demands to know why Matt Hardy hit him with the FTW Title last week and demands to know what Hardy put in the contract. Hardy & Isiah Kassidy came out and said Page should’ve read the fine print. Hardy said he manipulated Page, as the contract said if HOOK beat Page, then Hardy & Private Party are no longer under dominion of The Firm. Hardy said they also get to pick a match and stipulation that if they win, they’ll no longer be in The Firm. Hardy absolutely contradicted himself here, as I have no idea if Hardy & Private Party are actually free from The Firm or whether they have to win a match for it to happen.

Page said there’s more than just Page in The Firm, as Big Bill & Lee Moriarty attacked from behind until HOOK made the save. The numbers were too much, as The Firm put the boots to Hardy, Kassidy & HOOK until Jeff Hardy’s music hit and he sprinted to the ring with a chair. Bill & Page were sent outside; as Moriarty ate a Twist of Fate and Swanton Bomb flush as The Hardys hugged to a huge ovation.

-Kenny Omega has comments from his home about the attack from the Blackpool Combat Club in recent weeks. Omega thanks the doctors for helping them out and said he understands why the BCC did what they did; they wanted to make the headlines. Omega said what he takes personal is what they did to Don Callis. While Callis might not be all that likeable, Omega still calls him family. This isn’t blood for blood, whenever Omega sees them next, it’ll be much worse.

**********

Jon Moxley & Claudio Castagnoli (w/Wheeler Yuta) defeated Brandon Cutler & Michael Nakazawa

(Credit to Nakazawa & Cutler, who put up much more of a fight than you’d expect, with the visual of Cutler bleeding through his face mask pretty great. The return of The Elite was the bigger story, as the reign of brutality from the Blackpool Combat Club seem to have hit a speed bump. It should be noted, no Bryan Danielson here tonight with his crew.)

Moxley & Castagnoli blindsided their opponents as Moxley drove a chair into the neck of Cutler, while Nakazawa was driven repeatedly into the apron and bloodied in the process. Rick Knox just started the match as Nakazawa crawled in the ring and threw as many forearms as he could before Castanoli steamrolled him with a clothesline and then the Giant Swing. Castagnoli got the Sharpshooter applied, as a bloodied Cutler rolled in the ring and tried to break it up. Nakazawa backdropped free from a piledriver, as Cutler made as hot of tag as he could before Moxley bit at the face. A King Kong lariat connected followed by Death Rider as Moxley & Castagnoli brutally beat down Nakazawa & Cutler until Rick Knox called for the bell.

Moxley took the mic and said The Elite & Don Callis had glass jaws until Kenny Omega’s music hit and he walked out from the back. With the BCC attention turned, The Young Bucks ran in from behind and we had a huge brawl. The Young Bucks laid out Moxley with the BTE Trigger as Omega slid in a toolbox and was about to clock Moxley until Matt Jackson stopped him and gave Omega a screwdriver. Moxley spit in Matt’s face and dared Omega to do it as Castagnoli pulled him free and the BCC retreated through the crowd.

-Tony Schiavone is backstage with Swerve Strickland, Brian Cage & Prince Nana who said Darby Allin’s success is a testament to everything Strickland taught him Mogul Embassy isn’t done growing, it’s getting bigger day by day, as they aren’t done yet tonight, there’s some scores to settle.

Toni Storm & Ruby Soho (w/Saraya) defeated Riho & Skye Blue

(This was the match of the week to suffer from picture in picture, as most of this was during break. Blue & Riho put up a good fight, but Soho and especially Storm have been racking up wins lately.)

Soho & Storm attacked at the bell, as Blue fought back with a head scissors and low enzugiri on Storm. Soho & Riho both entered and Soho was quickly sent outside as Riho used Blue for the assisted cross body to the floor. The tide turned during commercial as Soho & Storm kept Riho isolated before Riho countered Destination Unknown into a roll up for two. Blue made the tag and ran wild briefly, but didn’t see the Storm blind tag. Storm missed her hip attack in the ropes, as Blue fought off all three members of The Outcasts while on the apron and hit a top rope cross body back inside on Storm for two.

The match briefly broke down with Riho hitting a cazadora double stomp on Soho, but ate a Storm thrust kick. Riho had Soho in a crucifix, with Blue hitting a thrust kick of her own. Riho was sent outside by Storm, who hit a German Suplex, Sweet Cheek Music and Storm Zero in succession on Blue to get the victory. Post match, Riho continued to fight, but was beaten down by The Outcasts, who spray painted an L on Riho before dropping her with a triple powerbomb.

Jamie Hayter sprinted to the ring a little too late, as she was swarmed, only for Britt Baker to hit the ring and lay out Soho & Storm on the ramp. A slugfest ensued between Baker & Saraya before Baker went for a Curb Stomp, but Saraya was pulled to safety by Storm & Soho.

**********

Chris Jericho (w/Daniel Garcia) defeated Keith Lee

(Aside from a 14 second squash of Serpentico on an episode of Rampage, this was Keith Lee’s first singles match for AEW in almost a year. I wanted to like this match more, but the constant interference from Garcia and the finish took away from it really clicking. The post match was a nice continuation of a few weeks ago with Jericho & Cole starting up their program.)

Jericho tried a shoulder tackle early and it resulted in Lee no selling, kissing Jericho on top of his head. An embarrassed Jericho charged, ate more punches, but avoided the huge double hand chop. It might have worked the first time, but not the second, as Lee hit his chop and charging corner splash. Lee went to the ropes, but Garcia distracted the ref long enough for Jericho to connect with his springboard corner dropkick.

Jericho controlled the action during the entire commercial, getting his revenge with chops of his own and dropkick off the second rope. The Lionsault connected, but Lee launched Jericho off of him during the cover. Lee was tripped up by Garcia long enough to distract him, as Lee & Jericho seemed to be on different pages momentarily before Jericho was Pounced across the ring. Lee took a long time to follow up, tried a moonsault, but Jericho got the knees up. In doing so, Jericho hurt his own knees and was press slammed by Lee for two. Jericho got an eye rake and locked in the Walls of Jericho, but Lee powered out.

Lee clocked Jericho with an overhand chop and beal, but as he tried for the finish, Jericho grabbed referee Aubrey long enough for Garcia to get him free from the hold. Lee dumped in Garcia, who ate a double clothesline with Jericho. Lee powered out of a Code Breaker attempt and countered into a massive powerbomb. Garcia again took the ref for about the fifth time before a masked Swerve Strickland clobbered Lee in the head with an object. Jericho draped an arm over Lee and got the tainted victory.

Post match, Adam Cole’s music hit immediately as he walked down to check on Keith Lee ringside. This is exactly what Jericho did for Garcia a few weeks ago, except this time; Cole gave a side glance at Jericho, who was furious his thunder was stolen to end the show.

**********

AEW Dynamite comes on the air with Excalibur welcoming us alongside Tony Schiavone and Taz, as they throw it down to Justin Roberts, who introduces the Bar Mitzvah Man himself, MJF to begin his celebration.

MJF’s Re-Bar Mitzvah Celebration

(This was an explosive opening segment with the future of AEW on full display, showing off the Pillars of AEW all wanting a shot at the AEW World Title.)

The AEW World Champion made his way to the ring with four ladies and laid a smooch on one of them before steamers fell and immediately told Canadian fans that Shawn was better than Bret. MJF talked about being part of the only religion that matters and how he lost his V card during his original bar mitzvah. Hava Nagila played and folks came running out from the back with a chair and hoisted MJF up as Taz sang along, which was great.

Jungle Boy Jack Perry interrupted and came to the ring, but before he could say a word, Sammy Guevara’s music hit and came to the ring. However, before Guevara could talk, out walked the fourth Pillar of AEW and Darby Allin came to the ring. I should point out; the furry hat MJF is wearing is right out of the Jamiroquai Virtual Insanity video. All three men in stereo asked for a title match. Perry brought up wrestling MJF at the first pandemic PPV, Double or Nothing and how MJF cheated to win. Perry talked about wrestling on Dark, Elevation and Rampage, while MJF gets to do whatever he wants. MJF does the same hokey BS every week when others bust their ass to get 60 seconds of TV time.

MJF said AEW revolves around him because he’s a star, but Guevara cut him off and said he’ll turn the re-bar mitzvah into a re-circumcision. Guevara talked about the odd jobs he worked at to get to where he’s at. Guevara said he was supposed to be the bump guy for Jericho, but he became TNT champion multiple times without the machine behind him. After sounding like a babyface for a few minutes, Guevara crapped on the fans and said he’ll be champion soon.

MJF talked about the locker room brawls Guevara has gotten into, but Allin immediately interrupted. Allin talked about the blessing in disguise dropping out of school and joining the Buddy Wayne academy, not changing who he is, he’ll have success or not. There won’t be a bidding war for Allin, as AEW has given him what he wants. Allin said he doesn’t go on social media and cry about not getting what he wants like MJF. If MJF doesn’t give Allin what he wants, he’ll beat his face in with his skateboard.

MJF has had enough, ripping his sunglasses off to show his black eyes from the Iron Man match. He talks about Guevara proposing to a new girl in seven months and says all of them are in Daddy Day Care. MJF said he’s the only pillar who can keep this place up. He’s beaten all of them in singles matches; they don’t deserve to sniff the AEW Title. MJF pie faced Perry, who clocked him with the microphone. Guevara & Allin started to brawl and MJF got knocked off the apron onto the table with the cake on it, as he bailed.

-Excalibur talked about Chris Jericho being honored with Chris Jericho Way on his childhood street in Manitoba.

**********

Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta defeated Hangman Adam Page, Evil Uno & Stu Grayson

(This was an excellent match to further the heel actions of the Blackpool Combat Club. It was a strong return for Grayson, who I really hope returns to AEW and becomes a regular tag team with Evil Uno again, as their tag team moves got a huge reaction. I know it’s in Canada, but I’ve always enjoyed them as a duo.)

Loud reaction for the returning Grayson, as it was Uno who wasted no time going after Yuta, who bull rushed Uno to the BCC corner to get a beating. Fast tags by Yuta, Moxley & Castagnoli, who isolated Uno by going after his leg. Yuta tried to trash talk, but it bit him, as Grayson made the tag and ran wild with a Meteora and spinning DDT on Castagnoli followed by a twisting moonsault for two. Yuta low bridged Grayson outside, as Castagnoli lit him up with uppercuts before a triple spike piledriver on the floor from the BCC as they went to commercial.

Grayson was isolated the entire break with Moxley most notable hitting a perfect piledriver in the ring for two. A charging pump knee clobbered Moxley, as Grayson finally made the tag to Page, who ran wild in his first action of the match. Fall away slam on Yuta, kip up and dive onto Castagnoli outside got the crowd pumped up. Uno made a blind tag, as Page hit a pop up powerbomb on Yuta and Uno hit a senton atomic. Moxley & Page went face to face and slugged it out, as Moxley took the ref, with Yuta clocking Page with the ring bell. Uno & Grayson realized the numbers are against them, as they charged the ring to brawl, but again, Yuta chop blocked Uno’s leg like last week.

Grayson put up quite the fight, clearing the ring post to a dive onto Castagnoli, as Uno hit a Paradigm Shift on Moxley. Uno & Grayson hit the double team Fatality on Moxley, but Yuta broke it up the last second. Grayson got a pop up roll up on Castagnoli, but Uno again was taken out by Yuta. Grayson suffered a pop up uppercut by Castagnoli into the rear naked choke by Moxley to win it, as Moxley transitioned into the bulldog choke. The BCC beat down Uno more until John Silver & Alex Reynolds hit the ring to chase off Moxley, Yuta & Castagnoli, who bailed through the crowd.

-Juice Robinson had a pre-recorded promo on why he laid out Ricky Starks last week. Robinson said Starks isn’t going to do a damn thing about what he did to his injured neck.

**********

Jade Cargill (w/Leila Gray) defeated Nicole Matthews to retain the TBS Title

(Unfortunately the very talented Matthews was just another number in Cargill’s reign, as the bigger story was the debut of La Wera Loca Taya Valkyrie, who appears to be next in line for the TBS Champion.)

Matthews is a 17 year veteran who Excalibur talked about having wrestled in SHIMMER. Cargill hit a pump kick and Jaded to win it in 30 seconds to go to 54-0. Renee Paquette went to interview Cargill about wanting Canada’s best and Cargill backed Paquette in the corner saying isn’t she from Canada? Cargill kissed Paquette on the forehead before Taya Valkyrie made her entrance to a solid ovation. Valkyrie got right in the face of Cargill before leaving, letting Leila Gray get laid out with Jaded by Valkyrie. Referees and Mark Sterling hit the ring and held back Cargill.

-Tony Schiavone is backstage with Ricky Starks, who said it was relevant to be in Bullet Club in 2015. If it’s an issue with Starks that Robinson has, they can do it anytime anyplace.

-A hype video similar to last week showcasing the new Shazam movie mixed with clips from Orange Cassidy & Jeff Jarrett is shown ahead of their AEW International Title match up next.

**********

-The debut edition of QTV is shown with QT Marshall acting like he’s Harvey from TMZ with some extras acting like reporters. Harley Cameron is the girl, as they cut to a video of Aaron Solo breaking into Wardlow’s car, smashing the window, stealing the TNT Title, as Marshall talked about Wardlow leaving his passport, so he can’t get into Canada. They compare Wardlow to a less successful Batista and cackle. We learn Hobbs will have an Open Challenge on Rampage for the TNT Title.

Orange Cassidy defeated Jeff Jarrett (w/Sonjay Dutt & Satnam Singh) to defend the AEW International Title

(So much interference in this, but Jeff Jarrett continues to find the fountain of youth as he had quite the entertaining match with Cassidy here. I didn’t know what to think when Jarrett came into AEW, but he’s won me over, he’s been great in this run.)

Pre-match, Cassidy fist bumped a fan dressed as Shockmaster and swapped out the All-Atlantic Title with the new International Title to make the leveling up official. Jarrett did an early Fargo Strut, as Cassidy answered with his hands in the pocket offense, but Jarrett zoned in on the bad leg. The visual of Jeff Jarrett mocking Orange Cassidy’s little kicks in 2023 is incredible. Cassidy floated over in the corner and drove Jarrett repeatedly head first into the corner. Dutt ran distraction to allow Jarrett to knock Cassidy to the floor and they fought into the crowd during picture in picture.

Back at ringside, Singh tossed Cassidy into the ring like he was luggage, as Jarrett continued his attack on the leg. Jarrett faked a Figure Four and opted for a Sharpshooter to get some heat, as Cassidy reversed into a terrible looking Sharpshooter of his own. Dutt helped with the rope break as Jarrett slapped on a sleeper with Cassidy reversing again and Singh hung him up on the top rope with Dutt taking the ref yet again. Jarrett applied the Figure Four, but Cassidy fought free with punches.

After a slugfest ensued, Cassidy was sent into the referee for a bump, as Dutt slid the guitar into the ring. Referee Aubrey power walked to the ring and pulled the guitar away, as Cassidy got a school boy for two. Similar to last week, Aubrey & Jarrett got into it, as Singh pulled the guitar away from Cassidy, who did the Eddie Guerrero fake injury, as Aubrey tossed Singh & Dutt. Satellite DDT on Jarrett connected, as Cassidy kipped up on one leg. For some reason, Aubrey bailed, as referee Bryce was still holding his eye injured with Jarrett distracting him to allow Jay Lethal to lay out Cassidy with the Golden Globe. Cassidy kicked out at two, as Trent Beretta hit the ring to fight off Lethal. Jarrett almost hit The Stroke, but Cassidy avoided and hit the Orange Punch for the victory.

**********

-The Acclaimed had a quick music video about being the people’s choice. Excalibur talks about them being homegrown talent, which leads us to the next segment, as he said these next ladies wouldn’t be fans of theirs.

The Outcasts came to the ring as Saraya, Ruby Soho & Toni Storm told the fans to shut their mouths. Soho said once upon a time, the grass was supposed to be greener in AEW until two bitches that aren’t house broken pissed all over the grass. Saraya said they’re going to show that AEW is their house, as without them, there wouldn’t be a women’s division. Similar to last week, they called the fans neck beards and fat. Storm said she put a smile on her face when she was the Interim Champion, but the fans didn’t respect her. They are the Outcasts and love going through all the rookies like Skye Blue, Willow Nightingale, Riho, Britt Baker & Jamie Hayter.

Right on cue, Hayter & Baker sprinted to the ring and put a beating on The Outcasts. Baker took off her belt and was about to whip Soho, but was jumped by Saraya & Storm. Baker was laid out with Destination Unknown while Storm hit Storm Zero on Hayter. Riho ran out with Nightingale & Blue as Riho had a pipe in hand to chase off The Outcasts. Hayter game a nod to Riho, while Baker was a little more reluctant.

**********

-Matt Menard & Angelo Parker talk about The Acclaimed music video and Menard said it made his nipples hard with how entertaining it was. They told The Acclaimed and Daddy Ass to watch on Rampage to get a taste.

The House of Black (Malakai Black, Buddy Matthews & Brody King w/Julia Hart) defeated The Elite (Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) w/Don Callis, Michael Nakazawa & Brandon Cutler) and The Jericho Appreciation Society (Chris Jericho, Daniel Garcia & Sammy Guevara) to defend the AEW Trios Titles

(This was an amazing, action packed main event with the hometown Winnipeg boys getting a lot of time to shine in this. So much took place in this match that when the finish happened, the crowd seemed to be caught off guard so there wasn’t a huge reaction. Post match, the faceoff with The Elite and Blackpool Combat Club with Hangman Page in the middle makes me really look forward to seeing where they are headed.)

The ovation for both Omega & Jericho respectively is go out of your way stuff to check out, as it was massive. Guevara & Garcia were launched and tossed like rag dolls by King until Jericho & Black made tags, only for Omega to quickly steal the tag from Black and the crowd exploded. Before they could touch, the House of Black attacked both and the match immediately broke down into commercial break. Jericho tried a chop battle against Brody King and I’ll let you guess who won that exchange. Jericho was isolated, but traded finisher attempts with Black, as Jericho connected with hit double arm under hook back breaker to give the J.A.S. a chance to pose as a trio.

Black fought off Garcia & Guevara until the numbers were too much and Black fell into a Nick Jackson tag. Nick showed off his athleticism with the slingshot face buster on Black, tried a moonsault outside on Matthews, who caught him and lawn darted into a Black pump knee. Nick fought out of the House of Black corner and made the Omega hot tag, who dished out Polish hammers and Snap Dragons. You Can’t Escape connected on Matthews followed by a snap hurricanrana with Matthews rolling right into a Jericho tag. House of Black tried to stop the face off again, but were sent outside to lead to the Jericho & Omega showdown. A slugfest momentarily led to high impact moves from literally everyone until Omega hit a Snap Dragon on Matthews. V-Trigger attempt was cut off by a Walls of Jericho, as The Bucks broke it up with a gnarly Superkick Party which was broke up by a King double clothesline that turned them inside out. During picture in picture, Jericho & Omega had a long forearm battle into a double clothesline for the reset.

Both Jericho & Omega rose to their feet and started swinging for the fences until Omega dodged the corner springboard dropkick. Omega connected with the Terminator Dive, as The Bucks wiped out the House of Black with dueling dives. Garcia & Guevara cut off the Bucks as Garcia hit a huge superplex on Nick, while Guevara connected with a Spanish Fly on Matt. King teased a dive off the top, but Omega & Jericho cut him off with a double superplex, which the fans ate up. Jericho responded with a Code Breaker on Omega for two. We cut backstage to see the Blackpool Combat Club & Dark Order brawling backstage and Excalibur told us Evil Uno was taken to the hospital. That seems super random, but will come into play later.

Omega got the knees up to avoid a Lionsault, as Matt hit Garcia with Locomotion Northern Lights, as did Guevara. The Bucks tried a Meltzer Driver, but Jericho laid out Nick with a Code Breaker in mid air. Picture perfect Shooting Star Press by Guevara on Matt, but King broke it up. King squashed Garcia & Guevara with corner cannonballs as King tossed Guevara to Jericho, as House of Black wanted the hometown boy. Jericho tried to fight them off, but was spiked with Dante’s Inferno, as Omega broke it up. Jericho got a bat shot on King with referee Aubrey’s attention turned. Guevara wiped out The Elite with a Shooting Star to the floor, as King kicked out at two. Jericho wound up for a Judas Effect, but ate a roundhouse kick by Black. Jericho fell into a Garcia tag and he was planted with Dante’s Inferno to eat the pin.

Post match, Jake Hager hit the ring, but was beaten down by the House of Black. The Blackpool Combat Club and Dark Order brawled out from backstage with Silver & Reynolds being taken out. Hangman Page found himself in the ring alone against Moxley, Castagnoli & Yuta when The Elite jumped in behind him for backup. Page didn’t realize this as the crowd cheered loudly and the BCC retreated. The final shot was Page slowly turning back to see Omega & The Bucks, but we never saw his reaction.

**********

AEW Dynamite comes on the air with a quick highlight video of action from Revolution before Excalibur welcomes us alongside Tony Schiavone and Taz.

Orange Cassidy defeated Jay Lethal to retain the AEW All-Atlantic Title

(While you’d assume the first part of this match felt a little slower, it played a huge part in the story told the rest of the match. The second half really picked up and I enjoyed how it came into play for the finish.)

This is the fourth week in a row a Cassidy match opens Dynamite and this week, he had a couple sparks of fireworks for his entrance, which is perfect. Lethal’s crew was prevented from coming down to ringside, as a fast back and forth of counters of big moves led to Cassidy punting the arm out of a Lethal Combination attempt. Both spilled outside, where Lethal was posted and Cassidy tossed into the steps. The crowd is really letting Lethal hear it, as a Fargo Strut led to Cassidy getting his knee posted, with Lethal controlling during break.

While Lethal blocked the Stundog Millionaire and Satellite DDT, Cassidy was able to hit a nice brainbuster and diving DDT out of the corner before getting a second attempt Satellite DDT for two. Cassidy’s leg buckled when going for an Orange Punch, as Lethal locked in a Figure Four. Cassidy got the ropes and both went to the apron for a chop battle. Back inside, Lethal again took out the leg, as the Lethal Combination scored, but top rope elbow missed. Lethal countered Orange Punch into a Cutter for the closest near fall of the match.

Thrust kick to the knee of Cassidy led to Lethal trying a Lethal Injection, but his injured shoulder from earlier in the match had him collapse. Cassidy quickly capitalized and hit an Orange Punch to retain the title. Post match, Jay Lethal tried to attack Cassidy with the Golden Globe, but was held off by the referee. Jeff Jarrett snuck up from behind and hit The Stroke on Cassidy and broke his guitar over the knee. Best Friends made the save, as Jarrett bailed and appears to potentially be the next contender for the All-Atlantic Title.

-Renee Paquette is backstage with Powerhouse Hobbs, who said its unfortunate what happened to Wardlow, having his car broken into, his belongings stolen, his TNT title stolen. Tonight, he’s becoming TNT Champion.

Ricky Starks made his way to the ring to a strong ovation. Before he could say what is next for him, the Bullet Club music hit to a huge pop. Starks was attacked from behind by Juice Robinson, who dropped Starks with the Left Hand of God and DDT to stand tall.

**********

-Tony Schiavone is backstage with Wardlow, asking where his head is at after what happened to his car and belongings. Wardlow thanks some friends (FTR) for some clothes, challenges Hobbs to a Falls Count Anywhere, Anything Goes match for their TNT Title main event.

Renee Paquette introduced Ruby Soho to the ring, as she walked out with Toni Storm & Saraya, but told them to stay in the back. Soho was booed loudly and told Paquette the fans created this monster. When she wrestled Britt Baker in her first title match, the fans were thrilled she lost. When she wrestled Kris Statlander in the Owen Hart tournament, she was booed out of the building. Cut to Revolution, Jamie Hayter pinned her and she realized no one will ever come to her defense. Toni Storm & Saraya weren’t appreciated when they came to AEW by the neck bearded, mouth breather fans. The broken foundation of AEW is the entitled little shits, rookies, who think they deserve the world. Soho demanded her opponent, another home grown talent, come to the ring, as Skye Blue ran to the ring and our next match is on.

Ruby Soho defeated Skye Blue

(The promo pre-match was more than the match itself, which mostly happened during commercial break. The friendship of Willow & Ruby is officially over, which, I enjoyed that partnership and it almost became a casualty of this storyline unfortunately.)

Soho immediately sent Blue to the floor and beat her up before heading back in the ring. Blue tried to fight back, but was planted with a back heel trip. During picture in picture, Soho jaw jacked with the crowd while keeping Blue grounded with multiple Saito suplexes. Blue tried to get something going with a knee strike and sliding low enzugiri. Blue connected on a high cross off the top for two. Soho avoided the Code Blue, pulled the hair into Destination Unknown to get the win. Post match, Saraya & Toni Storm hit the ring and they all started to spray paint Blue before Willow Nightingale ran to the ring. She tried to talk sense into Soho, but was attacked from behind by Storm & Saraya. No Future connected by Soho, as they all spray painted both Blue & Nightingale.

-Renee Paquette is backstage with Hangman Adam Page, asking how he’s doing. Page said physically he’s been better, but Sunday he let his heart blacken because he had to. If you want to push him, he’ll take you to hell and ride back out. Paquette asks if this means he & Moxley are finally done. Page apologizes to Paquette for what she had to witness, but not to blame him. He said after this past Sunday, he’s finished with Moxley.

**********

-Video of MJF backstage following his title defense at Revolution is shown. He tells people who thought Bryan Danielson was on his level should get their brains checked. MJF has a horn coming out of his forehead, as his back is no longer against the wall; daddy is single in San Francisco. March 15 is his birthday, so he’s going to stroll into Winnipeg and have a party. His reign of terror has just begun.

Tony Schiavone introduced FTR to the ring to a huge standing ovation from the crowd. Wheeler said it’s great to be back, but the last few months were really rough, talking about losing all their titles, but ultimately they lost a close friend in the late Jay Briscoe. Wheeler brings up The Gunns, calls them the future of this division, but are entitled assholes. He’s going to teach them everything Daddy Ass should have. Harwood said he loves the fans and industry so much, as they have to become the AEW Tag Team Champions; they have to do it for the fans, the Briscoes and themselves.

-Renee Paquette is with Jade Cargill & Leila Gray backstage, as Cargill doesn’t feel challenged. She’s 53-0, so next week in Canada, she challenges the best that Canada has to offer to step up next week.

Chris Jericho, Daniel Garcia & Sammy Guevara (w/Jake Hager, Matt Menard & Angelo Parker) defeated Top Flight (Darius & Dante Martin) & AR Fox

(By hook or by crook, this was a much needed win for the Jericho Appreciation Society on their one year anniversary, but the post match was the far bigger story. The House of Black have a new contenders for their titles, as a Triple Threat Trios Title match is on tap for Winnipeg next week.)

A fast start by Fox against Jericho, as he used his speed to send Jericho reeling in the corner. The skin the cat dropkick led to a huge top rope clearing dive by Fox, as Jericho scurried to Guevara for help. Guevara made the tag and Fox was grounded, which allowed all of the Jericho Appreciation Society to hit a group photo pose for the crowd. Garcia tagged in, as Top Flight made quick tags that led to a moonsault to the floor. After a quick distraction by Parker, Garcia was allowed to wipe out Dante with a right hand in mid air. It was all J.A.S. isolating Dante during break.

A monkey flip turned Guevara inside out that allowed Fox to make the hot tag and run wild. A cutter took out Garcia, as a two for one wiped out both Guevara & Jericho. A double springboard cutter connected on Guevara & Garcia as Darius showed off his power with a gut wrench German suplex. Jericho ran into a one man Spanish Fly and awkward looking back flip kick out of the corner for two. After a Dante dive on Garcia, Fox hit an implosion senton to take out Guevara & Parker. Dante countered the Walls of Jericho, but Hager clocked him with Floyd the bat, as Jericho hit a Judas Effect to steal it.

Post match, Angelo Parker called this the biggest trios win in AEW history and to Light the Beam. Matt Menard said this is the one year anniversary of the Jericho Appreciation Society. Garcia calls themselves the number one contenders for the Trios Titles, while Guevara just calls them all sexy. Hager still loves his sexy hat. Jericho calls out House of Black, as the lights went out, but The Elite interrupted instead.

Kenny Omega said for the better part of three years, they’ve stayed out of each others’ lanes. Don Callis interrupted Omega and said The Elite established the Trios Titles, so they are the rightful number one contenders. Callis puts over Jericho as one of the bests, but the second best wrestler from Winnipeg and if Callis had a couple months to train, he’d be the third. Jericho calls them to the ring, but the lights go out and House of Black are on the big screen saying they want the titles, lights go out again, when they come on, House of Black are standing in between both teams and Black says for Jericho to come and get them. The lights went out yet again and House of Black disappeared.

-Tony Khan is backstage and announces that Orange Cassidy has asked for an All-Atlantic Title match against Jeff Jarrett next week and Khan has granted him that match. It’s a milestone match for AEW as being in partnership with Warner Bros and the newest Shazam movie being released, the All-Atlantic Title is now being renamed the AEW International Championship, saying the title is being leveled up. We then got a trailer for the new Shazam movie mixed with clips of Jarrett & Cassidy. This was all weird.

**********

-Bryan Danielson post Iron Man match is shown saying that MJF was right, as Danielson thought his first instinct when he woke up being unconscious was he needed to fight. Danielson, though, realized he couldn’t feel his arm and it dawned on him what Max had said, he wouldn’t be able to play with his kids, he tapped and it made him more ashamed than anything else. He said it’s time to go home.

Jon Moxley & Claudio Castagnoli (w/Wheeler Yuta) defeated Alex Reynolds & John Silver

(The match itself was solid action, but the post match pretty much solidified the Blackpool Combat Club heel turn for the trio, which, they’ve been heeling it up quite a lot, so it’s not shocking. After the promo we just saw from Danielson, there’s really been zero mention of him aligned with this group now, so we’ll see where that goes. As for Dark Order & the BCC, we’re not done quite yet.)

It should be noted that Castagnoli & Yuta didn’t have their ROH Titles with them, as maybe with ROH having their own program now, the titles won’t be on AEW programming anymore potentially. Moxley & Castagnoli attacked immediately, Silver didn’t back down, but was just beaten up with fast tags and offense. Silver finally dropped Castagnoli in the corner face first, as Reynolds tagged in with forearms and a dive to the floor on Moxley. An uppercut in the corner sent Reynolds to the floor where he ate a Moxley lariat that took us to break.

Reynolds remained isolated until Silver made the hot tag with fast offense on Moxley that dropped him with a German suplex. Silver blocked a kick and poured down elbow strikes until Moxley sank in a triangle choke, which Silver countered into a crossface with knees. Silver & Reynolds tried their Wombo Combo, but Moxley cut it off into a rear naked on Reynolds. He transitioned into a Darce choke to get the submission.

Post match, Moxley again sank in the rear naked choke, as Castagnoli backed off referee Rick Knox before gut wrenching Silver to the floor. A bulldog choke on Reynolds by Moxley led to Evil Uno hitting the ring, but Castagnoli ordered Yuta to get in and stop him, as he obeyed the orders. Hangman Page rushed to the ring to check on his friends, but was attacked by Moxley, Castagnoli & Yuta. Referees hit the ring to separate everyone.

**********

-Renee Paquette asks The Acclaimed & Daddy Ass what’s next for them, as Bowens said the Tag Team titles are next, which brought in Matt Menard & Angelo Parker who said they love rap music. They said The Acclaimed are sports entertainers at heart, offering them a spot with J.A.S. but The Acclaimed laughed in their face saying they’re on TV more than Menard & Parker and walked off.

Powerhouse Hobbs defeated Wardlow to win the TNT Title in a Falls Count Anywhere Match

(The crowd seemed to really enjoy the match until the finish, which felt like an odd choice and a letdown. I guess we were supposed to remember something QT Marshall said to Powerhouse Hobbs in a promo months ago that explains what happened here? Again, feels like such a strange way to go, but I’ll give it a chance and am happy Hobbs won, regardless of how. This was a way of Wardlow not having to be pinned while still dropping the title.)

The match started backstage fighting by a car, as Wardlow narrowly missed Hobbs chucking a keg at his head. Hobbs suplexed Wardlow on the hood of the car and tried a powerbomb on the car, but Wardlow backdropped him through the hood of the windshield. Both men brawled all over the place backstage during commercial and when back, they headed to the ring with Wardlow connecting with a spinebuster. Hobbs popped right up and hit a spinebuster of his own, which Wardlow also no sold.

A roundhouse lariat from Wardlow led to the F-10 for two. Hobbs battled back with three spinebusters in a row, but Wardlow kicked out. The match went to the floor again with Hobbs violently slamming Wardlow through the guard rail which allowed Hobbs to set up a table. Wardlow misted Hobbs with water, set him up and connected with a Swanton off the top through the table in an awesome visual. Wardlow hit a powerbomb on the ramp, but Wardlow collapsed after executing the move.

Struggling to his feet, Wardlow dragged Hobbs up the ramp, as Wardlow wants a powerbomb off the stage, but QT Marshall appeared and clocked Wardlow with a chair repeatedly. Marshall is wearing a QTV shirt that I’ve really only seen quick vignettes for on Dark and maybe Elevation possibly. Marshall & Hobbs powerbombed Wardlow off the stage, which thankfully wasn’t as brutal or scary as when Willow did it to Anna Jay on Rampage. The ref put a ten count on Wardlow, who couldn’t get up and Hobbs wins the match and title. Taz said QT hasn’t been seen in months, but he said his word is his bond. Marshall celebrated with Hobbs to close the show.

AEW’s Tony Khan has promised “an important announcement” on tonight’s AEW Dynamite.

AEW Dynamite comes on the air with Excalibur welcoming us alongside Tony Schiavone and Taz, as he throws it to Justin Roberts for our opening contest.

Orange Cassidy defeated ROH Pure Champion Wheeler Yuta to retain the AEW All-Atlantic Title

(My goodness this was a PPV quality opener for sure. Yuta had no choice but to play heel here and he did it very well without going overboard. The crowd was into this, especially the ending sequence. The visual of Yuta’s gum stuck right on the forehead of Cassidy is one to check out.)

Cassidy offered a handshake to start, but Yuta tried a punch instead. Cassidy caught a cazadora into pinning combinations as Yuta bailed to regroup. Before Cassidy could put his hands in his pockets, Yuta quickly grounded Cassidy, who turned the tables with Yuta’s seatbelt pin for two. Claudio Castagnoli came to the ring, slapped Yuta in the face to fire him up and it worked, as Yuta took out Cassidy with a dive. Yuta launched Cassidy clear over the time keepers table, as Yuta got showered with boos, while Castagnoli went to the back.

Back inside, Yuta lit up Cassidy, who had put his hands in his pockets while this was happening. Cassidy kipped up, went up and over in the corner, tried a cross body off the top, but Yuta countered into an atomic drop in mid air. Yuta controlled throughout commercial until Cassidy avoided a top rope splash. Yuta blocked the Orange Punch, also blocking a satellite DDT into a brainbuster for two. Up kicks allowed Cassidy to get to his feet and hug Yuta, who headbutt his way free and opted for hammer fists.

A series of reversals allowed Yuta to skin the cat on the bottom rope twice, but both traded German suplexes. Cassidy tried the Mouse Trap, but Yuta countered into one of his own for a close near fall. Yuta spat his gum at Cassidy and it stuck perfectly on the forehead of Cassidy, which led to a forearm battle into a double down. Yuta avoided Beach Break, pulled Cassidy t the apron by the ear, but Cassidy backdropped Yuta on the apron and hit a diving DDT to the floor. Back inside, Cassidy hit the satellite DDT, but Yuta countered Beach Break into a piledriver.

Anvil elbows from Yuta, who tried the seatbelt, but Cassidy got his own anvil elbows as each wrapped the other up with seatbelt pin attempts. Cassidy popped up with the Orange Punch, but Yuta kicked out. Cassidy hit Beach Break, but Yuta again kicked out, as Cassidy hit one final Orange Punch to get the win in a fantastic opener. Post match, Cassidy wanted a hug, but Castagnoli reappeared and told Yuta not to, as he brushed past Cassidy.

-Renee Paquette is backstage with Hangman Adam Page & Evil Uno, who was about to say how he was preparing for Jon Moxley when Page interrupted. Uno immediately cut him off and told him not to get involved, as it’s time for Dark Order to stand up for themselves.

**********

-A very stylish Ricky Starks made his way to talk about his recent struggles with the Jericho Appreciation Society. Starks accepts Jericho doesn’t want to have a rematch and he’ll be moving on, which the crowd cheered for. Starks has an open contract for a match at Revolution. Chris Jericho made his way out and said Starks isn’t done with him until Jericho says. Despite beating him already, Jericho said Starks isn’t on his level. Pretty Peter Avalon made his way out to accept the open challenge, but Jericho hit a Judas Effect on the stage, thus robbing us of hearing more of Avalon’s amazing entrance music.

Jericho came to the ring and said you can’t have Revolution without him. Starks said if they wrestle again, he’ll just have J.A.S. interfere once more. Starks questions if Jericho can get the job done by himself. Starks convinced Jericho to accept the match, even saying the J.A.S. wouldn’t be allowed to get involved, but he doesn’t have a pen. Starks conveniently does, as Jericho signed the contract, thus falling right into Starks’ trap. Jericho said no one outsmarts The Ocho, as Starks gave a wink to the camera.

-We hear pre-recorded words from some of the tag teams involved in the Battle Royal later tonight.

The Acclaimed (Anthony Bowens & Max Caster w/Daddy Ass) defeated Lee Moriarty & Big Bill (w/Stokely Hathaway)

(So much of this match took place during commercial that we really only got about a couple minutes of actual action. The Acclaimed won on their way to the Four Way Tag Team title match at Revolution)

Caster’s rap mentioned “Hey Bill, your girl just text me, she said that you’re S-A-W-F-T” and it got a laugh from Bill. A quick early blind tag by Bowens allowed for a nice sunset flip backstabber combination as we immediately went to picture in picture, as that is when Moriarty & Bill took over. The Gunns made their way to the stage during break and Bill missed an Empire Elbow, as Bowens ran wild off a hot tag.

After dropping Moriarty with a reverse fireman’s carry slam, Bill ate a superkick, while Bowens opted to scissor with Daddy Ass. This resulted in Bill taking out Daddy Ass with a big boot until Caster took out Bill outside. Austin & Colten Gunn hit ringside to attack their father, as Moriarty nearly put away Bowens with a spinning slam for two. Bowens battled back with The Arrival, as Caster hit The Mic Drop for the win.

-Tony Schiavone introduced Christian Cage to the stage, but Jungle Boy Jack Perry immediately attacked him from behind. Perry brought out two chairs and was about to do a Con-Chair-To, but couldn’t bring himself to do it at first, allowing Cage to get a low blow. Cage slammed Perry’s head repeatedly onto the chair, busting Perry opened. Referees and the doctor finally made their way to to back Cage off.

-A video package of Wardlow & Samoa Joe is shown; as Joe said the biggest mistake Wardlow has ever made will be stepping back in the ring with him at Revolution.

Saraya (w/Toni Storm) defeated Skye Blue

(A quick win for Saraya in an interfere filled contest, as the post match built off last week and Ruby Soho’s realization that the Women’s Title is more important than picking whose side she is on at the moment.)

Blue got an early cazadora and right hand, but as she went to the top, Storm immediately knocked her off with the referee’s back turned. Saraya put the boots in the corner and tossed Blue out to Storm to get a cheap shot again. Blue was able to get the Black Widow submission on briefly until Saraya turned it into the Knight Cap. Blue fought out of the corner with a top rope cross body and snap dropkick, but Storm took the referee. Blue clocked Storm, but turned right into a Saraya thrust kick as she sank in the Scorpion Cross Lock for the submission. Before Storm & Saraya could spray paint Blue post match, Britt Baker & Jamie Hayter hit the ring before it could happen.

As Storm & Saraya sprinted up the ramp, Ruby Soho’s music hit and she didn’t care about either of them, instead she stared down Jamie Hayter and signaled she wants the AEW Women’s Title.

**********

Bryan Danielson made his way out to a massive ovation and said it’s great to be back in Phoenix. Danielson talked about how MJF put a bounty on his head, hospitalized his mentor William Regal, but before he could say anything else, MJF interrupted. MJF said he’s been abandoned by anyone he’s ever loved, but talked about the girl who changed him and he wanted to start a family, until she left him. This got “You Deserve It” chants as MJF said the only thing that makes him feel loved is the AEW World Championship. The AEW Title is the only thing keeping him from taking a handful of pills and calling it a day. MJF said Danielson has something he’ll never have, a happy and healthy family that he takes for granted.

MJF hates Danielson for having more concussions than anyone else, as every time he steps foot in the ring, he’s saying wrestling is more important than his family. It’s spitting in MJF’s face and mentions putting the pill addicted William Regal in the hospital. MJF will punish Danielson for everything he’s taken for granted and mentions Danielson’s kids, as MJF looks into the camera and says hi to Birdie. He will grab Dada’s arm and make him submit so he’ll never be able to play again. MJF said he’ll give Dada early onset CTE on March 5^th as Danielson popped him with the microphone and security immediately hit the ring to separate them. Each broke free, as referees and agents separated them as well. Danielson sprinted around the floor and got a clean shot on MJF to end the segment.

**********

-Tony Schiavone is backstage with Jamie Hayter & Britt Baker. Hayter said Saraya has come back and tried to wreak havoc, undefeated as well. Hayter said Ruby Soho deserves the title shot also, so said they should make it a Triple Threat match for the Women’s Title at Revolution.

Jeff Jarrett & Jay Lethal won the Tag Team Battle Royal to advance to the Revolution Tag Team Title Four Way

(There were almost as many people ringside as there were in the actual match. I was surprised at who won it, considering they’ve already had title shots pretty recently. I was personally hoping for Best Friends or Aussie Open to take this.)

Best Friends, Lucha Brothers, Butcher & Blade, Top Flight, Matt Menard & Angelo Parker, Alex Reynolds & John Silver, Rush & Preston Vance, Aussie Open, Tony Nese & Ari Daivari were the other teams involved.

Josh Woods tried to help Nese & Daivari early, but Mark Briscoe hit the ring and fought with him up the ramp. Nese & Penta fought on the apron and Penta hit a Fear Factor to eliminate him. Lucha Bros pressed Daivari over their head and launched to the floor onto Nese & Mark Sterling to officially eliminate them. Butcher & Blade eliminated both Aussie Open and Darius Martin as John Silver & Alex Reynolds tossed the Blade. Butcher sent Reynolds to the floor, as it should be noted there’s referees around the ring and haven’t noticed Angelo Parker & Matt Menard just hiding out and not officially entering yet. Dante Martin has also rolled to the floor as well, but still in it.

Preston Vance was dumped by Penta, who in turn was eliminated by Rush. Fenix did his tight rope walk and punted Rush to the floor to eliminate that team. John Silver was eliminated, as Best Friends were seemingly eliminated by Parker & Menard, but Danhausen tried to stop them. After cursing both JAS members, Parker & Menard were dumped by Best Friends. Chuck Taylor was eliminated by Jeff Jarrett as it’s down to Jarrett, Lethal, Butcher, Trent, Dante Martin & Fenix.

Butcher stacked up another elimination by dumping Dante Martin, as Fenix eliminated Butcher and Fenix immediately tossed out by Jarrett & Lethal. This brings it down to Lethal, Jarrett & Trent. Satnam Singh was running from side to side to help prevent his guys from behind eliminated, as he held them both up by his hands. Trent hit a Tornado DDT on Lethal, but was planted with a Jarrett Stroke. Trent skinned the cat and used Orange Cassidy to help him out. Lethal was backdropped to the floor as Danhausen chased Sonjay Dutt to the back. Singh again helped Jarrett, as he hit another Stroke on Trent to eliminate him.

-Video package about the House of Black talking about the problem in this company and eradicate it. They have called out The Elite for Rampage this Friday to talk about their status.

**********

-Renee Paquette is backstage with Tony Khan, who said his huge announcement should be made by an AEW talent. Adam Cole walked in and said next month there will be a weekly one hour TV series immediately after Dynamite called AEW All Access. It will be an unfiltered look at AEW and Cole said this is something you won’t want to miss, as he’ll be able to show his ups and downs. Cole also said the night that show debuts, he will make his in ring return on that episode of Dynamite.

Jon Moxley defeated Evil Uno

(This was pretty brief, but hard hitting while it lasted. Uno put up a strong effort and the crowd cheered for him, but he bled badly towards the end. Moxley also bled a gusher at the end thanks to Hangman Page, thus allowing us to check off that box on our weekly Dynamite Bingo cards. I don’t know if it’ll be a permanent thing, but the Blackpool Combat Club came across as heels in this main event.)

Uno rushed Moxley at the bell, but Moxley quickly turned the tables as we saw Hangman Page watching from backstage. Uno fired out of the corner with a big kick, wrapped his vest around the throat of Moxley and bit at the head, even through his mask. Moxley fought out of the corner, ripping at the mask, but Uno sent Moxley spilling outside. Uno went to the top and hit a somersault senton before pouring down punches to a huge reaction to get the crowd behind him.

Moxley recovered and sent Uno into the steps head first, busting Uno opened as a result. After eating a few shots, Uno fired back with multiple piledrivers, as he tried to go for it again, but Moxley countered into anvil elbows and rear naked choke. Uno is dripping blood as Moxley slapped on the bulldog choke and blood is pouring from Uno’s head. Moxley got the rear naked choke and Uno passed out, but Moxley wouldn’t let go.

John Silver & Alex Reynolds hit the ring to make the save, but Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta ran out to fend them off. Hangman Page had seen enough and sprinted to the ring with barbed wire wrapped around his fist and popped Moxley right in the face to bust him open badly. Page tried a Buckshot Lariat, but Moxley bailed to the ramp and he’s bleeding a gusher.
