AEW Dynamite | Wednesday, October 12 —
Join Denise Salcedo on her weekly pro wrestling talk show, Speak Now Pro Wrestling.
On Wednesday’s show, she reviews and reacts to the September 14th edition of AEW Dynamite, which featured two semifinal matches in the AEW World Championship Tournament. It also featured an MJF promo, the formation of The Firm, and much more! Tune in for a fun review!
During her challenge of AEW Women’s Champion Thunder Rosa at Battle of the Belts III, Jamie Hayter suffered a broken nose, first reported by Fightful.
The injury occurred when Hayter was delivering her sheer drop brainbuster to Rosa. When Rosa came down, her knee came down on Hayter’s face and she immediately began clutching it before making a pin attempt.
She continued the match and eventually lost the match via a roll-up. Her nose never bled during the duration of the bout, but looked to be shifted to one side during a brief close-up.
The match was taped Friday prior to AEW Rampage and aired during the one-hour TNT special Saturday.
Hayter has yet to comment on social media about the injury.
It’s the latest injury in a year full of them for AEW wrestlers. AEW World Champion CM Punk, Kenny Omega, Dante Martin, Dax Harwood, Bryan Danielson, Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly, Penelope Ford, and Bobby Fish are just a few of the recent talents that are either on the injured list, working through injuries, or have just returned.
A new tag team match has been added to Dynamite.
Tony Khan announced Tuesday night on social media that Britt Baker will team up with Jamie Hayter to take on Toni Storm and Ruby Soho.
“Following the Owen Hart Foundation Women’s Finals, 4 of the tournament’s top wrestlers will go to war in a huge tag team match on #AEWDynamite LA debut: @owen_foundation winner @RealBrittBaker/@jmehytr vs @realrubysoho & #ToniStorm tomorrow night @ 8pm ET/7pm CT on @TBSNetwork!”, Khan wrote.
Toni Storm defeated Jamie Hayter in the opening round of the tournament, but lost to Britt Baker in the semifinals. Baker then defeated Soho in the finals this past Sunday at Double or Nothing to win the women’s Owen Hart Foundation tournament.

In storyline, Baker hired Martinez to attack Rosa during the semifinals of the TBS Championship tournament. Rosa then defeated Martinez two weeks ago on Dynamite. After the match, Martinez hesitated to join Baker and company in an attack on Rosa. Martinez was then ambushed from behind by Hayter.
Last week during a contract signing on Rampage, Martinez came to Rosa’s rescue and ended up putting Hayter through a table to end the segment.
Baker is defending her AEW Women’s World title against Rosa at Revolution this Sunday.
The updated lineup for tonight’s Dynamite is as follows:
Thunder Rosa has advanced in the TBS Women’s title tournament.
Rosa defeated Jamie Hayter tonight on Dynamite to advance to the semifinals. The finish had Rosa putting Hayter in the Peruvian necktie, but Britt Baker broke up the hold while Rebel on the apron had the referee distracted. Rosa avoided a superkick attempt by Baker, who instead struck Hayter by accident. Rosa pushed Baker into Rebel then rolled Hayter up for the win.
After the match, an upset Hayter shoved Baker and walked away. Later, during a Friendsgiving segment with Baker, Rebel, and Tony Schiavone, Hayter was not seen.
With the win, Rosa advances to the semifinals of the tournament, where she will face Jade Cargill. The other semifinal match will have Nyla Rose face off against the winner of a match between Kris Statlander and Ruby Soho that will take place on next week’s Dynamite at the Gas South Arena in Duluth, Georgia.
Jamie Hayter has advanced in the TBS title tournament, defeating Anna Jay in a first round match on Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite.
The finish had Rebel at ringside distracting the referee. Britt Baker then interfered, allowing Hayter to drill Jay with a lariat for the win.
After the match, the trio beat down Jay until Tay Conti ran out. She tried to make the save, but succumbed to the numbers game. Thunder Rosa, who will face Hayter as a result of tonight’s win, then came down to even the odds and run off the heels.
Other second round matches include Nyla Rose vs. Hikaru Shida and Ruby Soho vs. Kris Statlander. One final opening round match between The Bunny and Red Velvet will take place on this Friday’s Rampage with the winner moving on to face Jade Cargill.
The finals are set to take place on January 5, the first Dynamite of the new year on their new network, TBS.
Cody Rhodes vs. Andrade is set for next week’s Dynamite.
Andrade confronted Rhodes during a promo on tonight’s show. He put down Cody, mocking his tattoo and saying that while Cody may care that he gets booed, he does not. Andrade entered the ring and looked to attack when the lights went out. When they came back on, Malakai Black was in the ring and the two jumped Cody and Arn Anderson. PAC eventually made his way to the ring to make things even.
Two tournament matches will also take place. Jon Moxley defeated Preston Vance of the Dark Order tonight, making the Dynamite match next week him against Orange Cassidy. The winner of that match will advance to the finals of the tournament at Full Gear, where they will either take on Bryan Danielson or Eddie Kingston.
Anna Jay vs. Jamie Hayter in a TBS Women’s Championship tournament match will also take place. Both Jay and friend Tay Conti have been feuding with Britt Baker and her associates in recent weeks. Conti will challenge Baker for the AEW Women’s Championship at Full Gear.
Ruby Soho’s first AEW Dynamite opponent has been announced.
Soho will take on Jamie Hayter on this week’s show. Soho made her AEW debut as the surprise entrant in the women’s Casino Battle Royale at Sunday’s All Out pay-per-view. Soho won the match to earn a future Women’s World Championship match against Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D., though no official date for the title match has been announced.
This will be Soho’s first singles match since a May 7 loss to Carmella on WWE SmackDown.
Hayter returned to AEW and aligned with Baker after the main event of Rampage on August 13. Hayter’s victory over Red Velvet on the August 25 edition of Dynamite was her first match for AEW since November 2019. She worked primarily for STARDOM, OTT and RevPro throughout 2020 and the first half of 2021.
Here is the announced lineup for Wednesday’s Dynamite:

Jamie Hayter returned to AEW on tonight’s Rampage, aligning herself with Britt Baker.
Baker defeated Red Velvet to retain the AEW Women’s title on tonight’s show. After the match, Baker continued to attack Velvet. Kris Statlander, who was in the crowd, came into the ring and confronted Baker. A woman in a hood then came in and attacked Statlander, revealing herself to be Hayter. Baker curb stomped Velvet into the Women’s title to end the show.
AEW’s social media later confirmed that Hayter had signed with the promotion.
Hayter made several appearances for AEW in 2019, losing to Baker in a match that took place in October that year on Dynamite. She also made an appearance on an episode of NXT UK in January 2020, losing to Piper Niven (now Doudrop on Raw).
Hayter has appeared for RevPro in the United Kingdom, where she has held the British Women’s Championship, and Stardom in Japan, where she held the SWA Undisputed World Championship. She had to vacate the British Women’s Championship back in June when she accepted a tryout offer from NXT UK that took place on the same night of a RevPro show.
