AEW Dynamite video highlights: Omega & KENTA vs. Moxley & Archer

KENTA made his in-ring AEW debut on last night’s Dynamite, teaming with Kenny Omega to defeat Jon Moxley and Lance Archer. 

The unsanctioned, falls count anywhere, no DQ, anything goes match featured both teams brawling throughout Daily’s Place, including through a kitchen. Potatoes, chairs, a barbed wire bat and a trashcan were among the weapons used in Omega and KENTA’s victory. 

Earlier in the show, Moxley cut a promo on KENTA, his challenger for the IWGP United States Championship on the February 26 edition of NJPW Strong. 

In a video posted to social media and YouTube after the show, Omega, Don Callis and The Good Brothers addressed some of the verbal jabs that have been flying between members of NJPW’s Bullet Club, his crew and The Young Bucks. It seems as though the foundation is being built for a feud between the sides. 

Sammy Guevara left The Inner Circle on last night’s show after weeks of dissension building between him and MJF. Guevara delivered the news after MJF had attempted to trick him into saying he hated Chris Jericho early in the show. Meanwhile, Jericho and MJF beat The Acclaimed in tag team action. 

Tony Schiavone was conducting an interview with Sting, when they were interrupted by Team Taz dragging Darby Allin behind a car in a body bag on the video wall. Allin and Sting will team against Ricky Starks and Brian Cage from Team Taz in a street fight at the March 7 Revolution PPV.

In the show opener, Darby Allin beat Joey Janela to retain the TNT Championship.

AEW Dynamite video highlights: KENTA attacks Jon Moxley

The Forbidden Door may be opening. 

NJPW’s KENTA attacked Jon Moxley in the show-closing segment of last night’s AEW Dynamite Beach Break. 

KENTA, set to challenge Moxley for the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship on The New Beginning USA. edition of NJPW Strong on February 26, hit Mox with a Go 2 Sleep. 

In a video posted on social media after the show, KENTA met with AEW World Champion Kenny Omega. Omega proposed a lights out match on next week’s Dynamite where the two would team against Lance Archer & Jon Moxley.   

Before KENTA’s attack, Moxley, PAC & Fenix lost to Omega & The Good Brothers in a six-man tag when Gallows pinned Fenix after a Magic Killer. 

Beach Break kicked off with a tag team battle royal to determine number one contenders for The Young Bucks’ AEW Tag Team titles at Revolution. Chris Jericho & MJF won the match, with Jericho last eliminating Top Flight’s Darius Martin. 

Jericho also inadvertently eliminated his stablemate Sammy Guevara in the match’s closing stretch and further dissension within The Inner Circle was teased throughout the show. 

Kip Sabian & Penelope Ford’s wedding also took place on last night’s show. Impact Wrestling’s James Mitchell officiated the ceremony. Things seemed to be going off without a hitch until Chuck Taylor cuffed Miro’s leg to the ropes during Miro’s best man toast. Orange Cassidy then emerged from the wedding cake and attacked Sabian. Ford got sent face-first into the cake, while Miro was unable to help Sabian as he was cuffed.

AEW Dynamite video highlights: Beach Break build picks up

With the show just two weeks away, the build to Beach Break began in earnest on last night’s AEW Dynamite.

The main event for the February 3 show was announced, as Kenny Omega & The Good Brothers will team against Jon Moxley, PAC & Rey Fenix. Moxley cut a promo mentioning Omega, while Omega, Gallows, and Anderson attacked Fenix and Penta El Zero Miedo in a backstage segment to set up the match.

Dissension between Omega, Gallows, Anderson, Don Callis, and The Young Bucks continued to play out on Dynamite. Callis tried to bribe The Bucks into breaking up their alliance with Omega. Later, Callis appeared in a backstage segment with a bruised face. He told Omega that Matt and Nick Jackson had attacked him and disingenuously tried to play it off.

In last night’s opening segment, Hangman Page declined an invitation to join Dark Order, but still teamed with Colt Cabana, Alex Reynolds & John Silver to defeat TH2 & Chaos Project in the -1 birthday celebration match. After the bout, -1 attacked Serpentico with a kendo stick and hit him with a stack of papers, a la Brodie Lee. 

In the main event, Chris Jericho & MJF defeated their Inner Circle stablemates in a three-way tag match to declare themselves as the group’s official tag team. Earlier in the show, Jericho predicted that he and MJF will be the next AEW World Tag Team Champions. 

The issues between Jade Cargill and Cody Rhodes continued on the show. Cargill distracted Rhodes during his match with Peter Avalon, but Rhodes won via submission anyway. 

The stage was also set for a potential cinematic match involving Sting & Darby Allin and Team Taz.

AEW Dynamite video highlights: Allin vs. Cage TNT title match

Darby Allin made his first defense of the TNT Championship last night, defeating Brian Cage in the main event of AEW Dynamite New Year’s Smash night two. 

Allin hit a Coffin Drop on the ring steps, then used an assist from Sting in eliminating an interfering Ricky Starks to beat Cage with a crucifix bomb to retain the TNT title. 

In the evening’s other title bout, Serena Deeb defeated a game Tay Conti to retain the NWA World Women’s Championship. 

Cody Rhodes appeared on The Waiting Room with Dr. Britt Baker, but before Rhodes could speak, Jade Cargill made her return to Dynamite, threatened Brandi Rhodes, then brawled with Red Velvet. 

The Good Brothers made their AEW in-ring debut, teaming with AEW World Champion Kenny Omega in a winning effort against Griff Garrison, Brian Pillman Jr. & Danny Limelight. 

In other action, Miro defeated Chuck Taylor, meaning Taylor must serve as Miro’s butler until Kip Sabian and Penelope Ford’s wedding, FTR defeated Jurassic Express, and PAC defeated Eddie Kingston in the show’s opener.

AEW Dynamite video highlights: New Year’s Smash night one

The Good Brothers (Karl Anderson & Doc Gallows) made their AEW debut last night, aligning with Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks in the main event segment of New Year’s Smash night one. 

Following Omega’s successful title defense against Rey Fenix, Jon Moxley attacked Omega with a barbed wire baseball bat. The Good Brothers made the save for Omega. Anderson and Gallows then fought off a parade of undercard talent who hit the ring to defend their company from the invading Impact duo. 

The Young Bucks ran in, seemingly to aid the AEW side. Instead, they saved Omega from an attack by Brian Pillman Jr. and Griff Garrison, then threw up the “Too Sweet” hand signal with Omega and The Good Brothers.

Earlier in the show, Moxley cut a promo, promising to be in Omega’s blind spot after Omega took the AEW World Championship from him by nefarious means last month. 

Snoop Dogg made a special appearance on the show. Snoop is a co-host of TBS’ Go-Big Show, along with Cody Rhodes. Snoop accompanied Rhodes to the ring for his match with Matt Sydal, then got involved physically in an angle with Luther and Serpentico. 

Hikaru Shida retained her AEW Women’s World Championship against Abadon on the show. Wardlow also defeated his Inner Circle teammate Jake Hager, while The Young Bucks & SCU defeated The Acclaimed & TH2 in the show’s opener.

AEW Dynamite video highlights: Brodie Lee tribute show

AEW paid tribute to the late Jon “Brodie Lee” Huber on last night’s Dynamite. 

The show featured the traditional 10-bell salute, video tributes to Lee and his family, and appearances by his wife and children. There was also an appearance by Lee’s long-time tag partner Erick Rowan, video tributes from AEW talent, and a series of matches in which Lee’s Dark Order faction were victorious. 

In the final segment of the show, AEW President Tony Khan presented Brodie Lee Jr. with the TNT Championship. Khan declared Brodie Lee as the greatest TNT Champion in history, then presented Lee Jr. with a TNT title belt and declared him the TNT Champion for life. 

Lee Jr. was also involved in an angle during Hangman Page, John Silver & Alex Reynolds vs. MJF, Santana & Ortiz. After MJF removed Jr.’s Dark Order mask, the youngster attacked MJF with a kendo stick, leading to Page, Silver & Reynolds getting the victory. 

The show’s main event, billed as the Brodie Lee Jr. Dream Match, saw Cody Rhodes, Orange Cassidy & Preston “10” Vance defeat Team Taz. After the match, Sting and Darby Allin appeared to save Rhodes, Cassidy, and Vance from a Team Taz attack. 

The Dark Order’s Anna Jay teamed with Tay Conti to defeat Britt Baker & Penelope Ford and Lance Archer teamed with Dark Order’s Evil Uno & Stu Grayson to defeat Eddie Kingston, Butcher & Blade. Plus, The Young Bucks teamed with Dark Order member Colt Cabana to defeat Matt Hardy & Private Party in the show’s opener.

AEW Dynamite video highlights: Holiday Bash

Number three-ranked contender Abadon made her case for an AEW Women’s Championship match last night, attacking champ Hikaru Shida and biting her neck on the Holiday Bash edition of Dynamite. 

Abadon appeared at ringside during Shida’s match against Alex Gracia. Shida pulled Abadon over the barricade and Abadon appeared to be unconscious. Shida went on to defeat Gracia. 

Shida then approached the fallen Abadon and poked her with a stick. Playing into her undead persona, Abadon jumped to her feet and the two brawled. Abadon then bit Shida’s neck, leaving the AEW Women’s Champion bloody. 

In a more traditional wrestling story, The Young Bucks retained their AEW Tag Team titles in the main event of Dynamite. Other tag matches on the show saw Chris Jericho & MJF defeat Top Flight and Jurassic Express take down The Dark Order in a six-man. After Jericho & MJF’s win, Jake Hager challenged Wardlow to a match for next week.

The tease for an angle involving Sting and Darby Allin also continued on last night’s show. Sting was about to address Allin when Team Taz interrupted and cornered Sting in the ring. After the lights went out and came back on, Allin appeared in the ring, forcing Team Taz to stand down. 

Penelope Ford and Kip Sabian announced the date for their wedding — February 3 at Beach Break. Best Friends’ music interrupted the announcement, but it turned out to be a swerve from Sabian and Miro. Trent was seen being placed into an ambulance, presumably after an attack from Miro and Sabian.

AEW Dynamite video highlights: Death Triangle confronts Omega

Death Triangle appeared on the stage following Kenny Omega’s win over Joey Janela in the main event of last night’s AEW Dynamite.

The group’s leader, PAC, took the microphone and stated his partner Rey Fenix’s case for a World title shot. PAC said that Fenix had not been eliminated from the number one contender’s tournament that Omega ultimately won, therefore, he deserved a title shot.

Omega and manager Don Callis balked at the suggestion, but PAC said that he had already had the match sanctioned by Tony Khan. That match is set for the December 30 New Year’s Smash night one episode of Dynamite.

Elsewhere on last night’s show, Cody Rhodes defeated Angelico. Before the match, a video aired announcing that Cody & Brandi Rhodes are expecting their first child in 2021.

After the bout, Team Taz came to the stage to threaten Cody. Sting appeared with his baseball bat and chased Team Taz away without saying a word.

In the show’s opener, Matt Hardy & Private Party defeated the makeshift team of Hangman Page & The Dark Order’s John Silver & Alex Reynolds. Both on Dynamite and Being the Elite, Page has been flirting with the idea of joining Dark Order.

Tag team matches on the show saw The Inner Circle defeat Best Friends, The Varsity Blondes & Top Flight, Serena Deeb & Big Swole defeat Ivelisse & Diamante, and The Acclaimed pick up a high-profile win over SCU.

AEW Dynamite video highlights: Sting speaks to Cody Rhodes

Sting made his second AEW appearance on last night’s Dynamite, interacting with Cody Rhodes, Arn Anderson, Tony Schiavone, and Darby Allin. 

Cody, Anderson, and Schiavone were in the ring as Allin looked on from the upper deck of the arena. After Sting entered, Anderson said that for now, he would listen to Sting’s agenda and leave the ring to him. The announcers referenced Anderson’s long history with Sting. 

Sting then addressed Schiavone, hugged him, and asked Schiavone to give him his trademark introduction. After Schiavone obliged, he left the ring to Cody and Sting. 

Sting told Cody that he has no business with him right now. He said that he planned to interact with the AEW fans and be here for a long time. He said being back on TNT felt familiar to him. 

Then, referencing Allin watching from above, Sting said that lots of things feel familiar to him in AEW. Sting then left Cody after a patronizing “See you around, kid.”

Shaquille O’Neal also appeared on last night’s show in an interview segment with Schiavone and Brandi Rhodes. Shaq referenced Jade Cargill’s appearance with Cody and said that he’s a big fan of hers, but also said that she went too far in later attacking Brandi. 

Shaq then mentioned that Brandi vs. Cargill would be great and said that he can’t wait to see it, and also said that Brandi could learn a thing or two from Cargill. Brandi ended the segment by swearing at Shaq and throwing a glass of water on him. 

New AEW World Champion Kenny Omega made an appearance with Impact Wrestling executive Don Callis. Omega and Callis entered via helicopter. The two said that their plan had been years in the making, but they gave no indication as to what the next phase of their operation entails. 

In the show’s main event, MJF defeated Orange Cassidy to win the Dynamite Diamond Ring for the second consecutive year. After a match that saw interference from Best Friends, Top Flight, Brandon Cutler, Varsity Blondes, and The Inner Circle, Miro hit Cassidy with a lariat, allowing MJF to steal the pin. 

Earlier in the show during the Inner Circle ultimatum, the group decided to remain united.

AEW Dynamite video highlights: Sting debuts, Kenny Omega title win

Sting, a WCW icon, WWE Hall of Famer, and Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Famer, made his long-rumored AEW debut last night. 

After Cody Rhodes & Darby Allin defeated Ricky Starks & Powerhouse Hobbs in tag team action on last night’s Winter is Coming edition of Dynamite, Starks, Hobbs, and fellow Team Taz member Brian Cage began to take out their frustration on Rhodes, Allin, and Rhodes’ manager, Arn Anderson. 

As Hobbs threatened to hit Cody with Cage’s FTW title belt, the lights went out. Music played, snow fell, and Sting made his first AEW appearance. 

Sting displayed his trademark baseball bat and made his way to the ring. Team Taz fled, leaving Sting to ominously stare at Anderson, Rhodes, and especially Allin. 

In the main event, Kenny Omega used an assist from Impact Wrestling executive and longtime friend Don Callis to win the AEW World Championship from Jon Moxley. 

After Callis made his way to ringside with a microphone, he took a bump from Moxley. With the ref distracted, Omega hit Moxley with the mic and a One Winged Angel to win the title. Omega and Callis ran to a waiting car and promised to address the situation on Tuesday’s Impact Wrestling episode on AXS TV. 

In the show’s opener, MJF and Orange Cassidy won the Dynamite Diamond Battle Royale. The two will face off next week for the Dynamite Diamond Ring. 

Chris Jericho was victorious over Frankie Kazarian, but his Inner Circle faction showed signs of disharmony. Jericho declared an ultimatum for next week’s Dynamite and said the group will either band together or split apart forever.

AEW Dynamite video highlights: The Inner Circle takes Las Vegas

The Inner Circle took a Hangover-style trip to Las Vegas on MJF’s dime on last night’s Dynamite. 

After drinking to excess and inducting an Elvis impersonator into the group, the lads woke up the next day to find a diapered Hornswoggle in their hotel suite. 

On a more serious side, both AEW World Champion Jon Moxley and Cody Rhodes found themselves left lying on last night’s show. 

Moxley was scheduled to appear for a contract signing for his title match against Kenny Omega at Winter is Coming on December 2. Moxley cut a pre-taped promo early in the show and surprised the world, announcing that he and wife Renee Paquette are expecting their first child. 

Later, Omega entered for the contract signing. When Moxley was called out, a cut to backstage revealed that he had been attacked by an unknown assailant and would not be able to attend. 

In the show’s main event, Cody and TNT Champion Darby Allin lost to Team Taz’s Brian Cage and Ricky Starks. After the bout, Cage and Starks continued to attack Cody and Allin. Will Hobbs ran in, teasing that he was making the save. Instead, Hobbs turned on Cody and laid him out with the FTW title belt. 

In the show’s lone title match, Serena Deeb retained the NWA World Women’s Championship with a victory over Thunder Rosa. Dr. Britt Baker interfered in the match, though her involvement did not directly lead to the finish. Rosa and Baker brawled after the match. 

Top Flight made their Dynamite debut in the show’s opener, losing to AEW World Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks.

PAC made his in-ring return after eight months in a winning effort against The Blade.

AEW Dynamite video highlights: PAC returns

After travel issues had kept him away from AEW since March, PAC made his in-person return in the show-closing segment on last night’s Dynamite. 

After Penta El Zero Miedo defeated his brother Rey Fenix in last night’s main event, Eddie Kingston made his way to the ring and told Penta that he did not need Fenix, calling him “dead weight.” PAC then entered and threatened Kingston, forcing referees to pull them apart. 

Before the pandemic-related travel problems, PAC, Penta, and Fenix had formed a faction called Death Triangle. Kingston, Penta, Fenix, The Butcher, and The Blade had formed a faction in PAC’s absence, sometimes referred to as Kingston’s Family. 

It was then announced that PAC will take on Blade on next week’s Dynamite. 

Following his win against Chris Jericho at Full Gear, MJF was inducted into The Inner Circle last night. AEW continued to tease dissension between Sammy Guevara and MJF, as it was revealed that Guevara missed the induction after an email from MJF told him to go to the beach instead of meeting at Daily’s Place. An Inner Circle trip to Las Vegas was announced for next week. 

Some long-running feuds were also resolved on last night’s show. Shawn Spears defeated Scorpio Sky after hitting him with a loaded glove, while The Natural Nightmares defeated Butcher & Blade in a Bunkhouse match. 

The AEW debut of basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal was also teased on Dynamite. Jade Cargill, representing O’Neal and making her AEW debut, confronted Cody and Brandi Rhodes. She said that Shaq wasn’t afraid to go by one name, he’s a giant, and while Cody likes to fashion himself a giant killer, there’s nothing giant about Rhodes. A mixed tag match with Shaq & Cargill vs. Cody & Brandi seems to be a likely destination.

AEW Dynamite video highlights: Kenny Omega vs. Penta El Zero M

Kenny Omega and Hangman Page punched their tickets to the finals of the AEW World title eliminator tournament with wins on last night’s Dynamite. 

In the show’s main event, Omega defeated Penta El Zero M with a One-Winged Angel to advance to the finals. In the opener, Hangman Page defeated Wardlow after hitting a pair of Buckshot Lariats. 

Omega and Page are former tag partners who held the AEW Tag Team titles for 228 days earlier this year. The two lost the titles to FTR at All Out. 

Chris Jericho and MJF held a town hall meeting to discuss MJF possibly joining the Inner Circle. After questions from Luchasaurus and Britt Baker, Eric Bischoff made a cameo appearance and posed his own questions to MJF. Jericho then challenged MJF to a match at Full Gear. If MJF wins, he joins the Inner Circle. 

Cody successfully defended the TNT Championship against Orange Cassidy in a lumberjack match. John Silver interfered, hitting Cassidy with a pump kick. Cody unwittingly capitalized on the interference and hit Cross Rhodes to retain. 

Eddie Kingston defeated Matt Sydal in a tune-up match ahead of his AEW World Championship I Quit match against champ Jon Moxley at Full Gear. Moxley appeared on last night’s show in the form of a video promo. A face-to-face between Moxley and Kingston is scheduled for next week’s Dynamite. 

In a sit-down interview with Excalibur, The Young Bucks declared that if they lose to FTR in the AEW Tag Team title match at Full Gear, they will never challenge for those titles again.

AEW Dynamite video highlights: Chris Jericho and MJF dinner duet

The semifinals were set in the World title eliminator tournament and new number one contenders to the AEW Tag Team titles were crowned on last night’s Dynamite.

Those items played second fiddle to a Chris Jericho and MJF Le Dinner Debonair, which broke down into a musical performance by the two. 

Very little was advanced in the Jericho/MJF storyline, as this segment was purely about entertainment. Some liked the segment, some disliked the segment, nearly all will remember the segment. 

Rey Fenix, Kenny Omega, Hangman Page, and Wardlow advanced to the semifinals of the World title eliminator tournament. Fenix will face Omega and Page will face Wardlow on next week’s Dynamite. Omega debuted a new entrance last night for the return of his Cleaner character as well. 

The Young Bucks won a four-way main event over Private Party, Butcher & Blade, and Alex Reynolds & John Silver to earn a Tag Team title shot at FTR at Full Gear. 

The feud between AEW World Champion Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston continued as video was shown of Kingston cutting a promo on Moxley after Dynamite went off the air last week. Both men then cut video promos on each other. Kingston and Moxley will meet for the World title in an I Quit match at Full Gear.

AEW Dynamite video highlights: One-year anniversary show

Jon Moxley retained the AEW World Championship in the main event of last night’s first anniversary episode of Dynamite.

Moxley defeated Lance Archer with a crucifix after eating Archer’s Blackout finishing move. After the match, Archer attacked Moxley. Eddie Kingston, who was at the commentary desk with The Lucha Bros, sent Penta El Zero M and Rey Fenix to the ring to chase Archer away.

Kingston then came to the ring and cut a promo, praising Moxley for carrying AEW for its first year.

After raising Moxley’s arm in victory, Kingston hit the champ with a spinning backfist. Kingston then applied a rear naked choke. Dynamite went off the air with Kingston vowing to “get” Moxley.

Three other title matches took place on the anniversary show.

Cody retained the TNT Championship by the skin of his teeth in a time limit draw. Orange Cassidy had Cody in a mousetrap cradle as the time limit neared. Before the referee could complete his three count, the 20-minute time limit expired.

Hikaru Shida retained her AEW Women’s World Championship with a win over Big Swole.

FTR retained their AEW World Tag Team titles with a win against Best Friends in the show opener. Miro and Kip Sabian attacked Best Friends after the match.
