Sammy Guevara wins TNT title at AEW Battle of the Belts

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Sammy Guevara has won the TNT Championship for a third time.

On the Battle of the Belts show that aired tonight on TNT, Guevara defeated Scorpio Sky to win the championship for a third time. The finish had Dan Lambert and Paige VanZant get involved. Tay Conti, who was at ringside, took out VanZant. During the distraction, Guevara low blowed Sky and gave him the GTH to score his third TNT Championship win, tying the record with Cody Rhodes for having the most TNT title reigns.

Guevara’s win ends Sky’s run with the championship after 37 days. He defeated Guevara on the March 9, 2022 edition of Dynamite. This also ends a win streak in singles matches for Sky.

After Guevara lost the TNT title to Sky, he insisted on getting a rematch. Sky at first refused to defend his title, but eventually accepted after Guevara told Sky he would keep bugging him until he got his title shot.

Sammy Guevara wins TNT title on AEW Dynamite

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Sammy Guevara is the new TNT Champion.

Guevara won the title in the main event of tonight’s Dynamite, defeating Miro. The finish had Miro exposing a turnbuckle in one of the ring corners. Fuego Del Sol, however, distracted Miro long enough for Sammy to dropkick Miro into the exposed turnbuckle. Guevara eventually laid out Miro and pinned him following a 630 splash.

Miro held the championship for 140 days, defeating Darby Allin on the May 12 edition of Dynamite. He had most recently defended the title against Fuego Del Sol on the episode of Rampage that aired on September 17. Miro put the title up against Fuego’s new car that he bought as a result of signing with AEW. After the match, Miro continued to attack Fuego until Guevara made the save, setting the stage for tonight’s match.

Following his title win, Bobby Fish tweeted that he wanted the first shot at Guevara. In a promo that aired during the first commercial break of Rhodes to the Top, Guevara accepted Fish’s challenge.

Miro wins TNT Championship on AEW Dynamite

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Miro is the new TNT Champion, defeating Darby Allin on tonight’s episode of Dynamite.

The two had a big back and forth match, despite Allin’s injuries last week after being thrown down stairs by Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky, as well as a pre-match beatdown by Miro. The finish had Allin going for the coffin drop, but Miro grabbed him as he landed and applied the Game Over. Allin passed out, giving Miro the win.

After the show went off the air, Allin cut a promo saying how the TNT championship was the only title he cared about, he didn’t need any other title. He promised that it was not the last time he would be champion, and thanked everyone for their support.

Allin won the title back on November 7, defeating Cody Rhodes at Full Gear, holding it for 186 days. In recent weeks, he has defended the title in the main event of Dynamite, successfully defending against the likes of Matt Hardy, Jungle Boy, and 10.

Page vs. Hardy, multi-man ladder match added to AEW Revolution

Posted on by Bryan Rose

A new match has been added to AEW Revolution.

Hangman Page will face Matt Hardy in a singles match. If Page wins, he gets 100% of Hardy’s profits during the first quarter of 2021. However, if Hardy wins, he gets 100% of Page’s earnings. This follows what happened during the opening moments of tonight’s Dynamite, where Page & Hardy defeated The Hybrid 2. After they won, Page revealed to Hardy that he had switched contracts last week, and instead of them becoming a tag team, Hardy had instead signed a contract to a match against Page at Revolution.

Additionally, a ladder match has been added to the event. Called the Face of the Revolution ladder match, the winner will get a shot at Darby Allin’s TNT title. Cody Rhodes made the announcement tonight, saying that he, Scorpio Sky, and Penta El 0 M have already been entered.

Matches already announced for Revolution include Kenny Omega vs. Jon Moxley in a barbed wire death match for the AEW World title, Young Bucks vs. Chris Jericho and MJF for the AEW World Tag Team titles, Hikaru Shida vs. the winner of the AEW Women’s title eliminator tournament, and Brian Cage & Ricky Starks vs. Darby Allin and Sting in a street fight.

AEW reveals new TNT Championship design on Dynamite

AEW introduced a new version of the TNT title that was revealed tonight on Dynamite.

Darby Allin entered the ring revealing a new design of the TNT title, which had a black strap instead of a red one. He participated in a weigh-in that also featured Brian Cage, who he will defend the title against next week on night two of New Year’s Smash.

The weigh-in ended when Allin prepared himself for a fight against all of Team Taz. Sting then came out to make the save, with Taz cutting a promo on the entrance ramp promising we’d see a new TNT champion next week.

It was noted during last week’s Dynamite post-show that Brodie Lee’s son, Brodie Lee Jr., would keep the TNT title given to him during last week’s Brodie Lee tribute show. It was also said that a new version of the TNT title would be given to Allin.

Brodie Lee notes: Record T-shirt sales, AEW TNT title, more

Posted on by Ethan Renner

The wrestling world has responded to the Brodie Lee Celebration of Life tribute edition of AEW Dynamite. 

Pro Wrestling Tees announced on Wednesday night that AEW’s Brodie Lee tribute T-shirt set their company record for sales in a 24-hour period in less than two hours, before the tribute episode of Dynamite was even finished. Pro Wrestling Tees then announced that the T-shirt had become the highest selling shirt of 2020 in just under four hours.

AEW President Tony Khan noted that he purchased the rights in perpetuity to Tom Waits’ “Ol’ 55,” which was the song used in the show-closing tribute video for Lee.

“Thank you everyone who joined us tonight on #AEWDynamite to celebrate the life of Jon Huber, known to fans as Mr. Brodie Lee,” Khan tweeted. “It was a great honor to host his family Amanda, Brodie & Nolan. I bought the rights to Ol’ 55 by Tom Waits in perpetuity so that tribute will last forever.”

On AEW Dynamite’s post-show, Tony Schiavone mentioned that Brodie Lee Jr. will keep the TNT Championship belt that was given to him at the end of the tribute show. The title given to Brodie Lee Jr. was the real TNT title belt. Darby Allin, the current TNT Champion, will receive a new belt.

Both AEW and WWE talent took to social media to praise last night’s Dynamite and to pay tribute to Lee. Big E, Sasha Banks, Mustafa Ali, Kevin Owens, Daniel Bryan, Sami Zayn, Bayley, Cody Rhodes, Anna Jay, Tony Schiavone, Bryce Remsburg, and Lance Archer are some of the names who tweeted their thoughts:

The show ended with the Dark Order taking out Cody, Arn Anderson, and the rest of the Nightmare Family, with Lee dumping remnants of the old TNT title on Cody.
