AEW Dynamite Results Tonight

The night started off with intensity, as Renee Paquette’s interview with Jay White was cut short by an ambush by the Death Riders. FTR intercepted the attack, giving White a chance to fight back. As Moxley prepared to strike on White, Cope came to his rescue, challenging Moxley for the AEW World Championship at AEW Revolution. White then issued a challenge of his own: a Brisbane Brawl at AEW Grand Slam: Australia on February 15.

Will Ospreay defeated Mark Davis

Don Callis emerged after Ospreay’s entrance, taunting the former International Champion, saying that his opponent was someone he knew very well. Mark Davis entered,  countering each move by Ospreay with his powerful offense. Slamming and chopping Ospreay, the snarling Davis spared no mercy. Ospreay earned a breather after a Springboard Flying Forearm. The crowd fully supported Ospreay as he worked Davis’s legs and launched his patented aerial offense before landing an Oscutter off the middle rope. Countering a flurry by Ospreay with a lariat and a Piledriver, Davis ripped off a turnbuckle pad but Referee Rick Knox covered the corner. Ospreay struck Davis with a surprise Hidden Blade for the pinfall.

Post-match, Kenny Omega joined Ospreay in the celebration. Omega greeted the Atlanta crowd and reminded Callis, Kyle Fletcher, and Konosuke Takeshita what they’re up against at AEW Grand Slam: Australia. Spoiler alert: it’s Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay. It’s them that the Don Callis Family is up against.

Honestly, I think it would have benefitted Davis if he won. If Callis’s collection of wrestlers is to be taken seriously as threats, Davis being the next big hitter would cement his place. However, this was his first showing in the heel faction – and a damn good one at that. Davis’s sturdy opposition created a dominant contrast to the acrobatic Ospreay. That Piledriver nearly gave me a headache just watching it.

Hurt Syndicate promo

MVP dapped up Westside Gunn en route to the ring before commending Private Party for their attempted defense of the titles on January 22. Continuing to boast Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin’s overwhelming might. Austin and Colten Gunn of The Gunn Club interrupted, challenging Lashley and Benjamin on the February 12 episode of Dynamite.

The Gunns are an entertaining act and were sorely missed. However, I feel they’re better with Jay White and Juice Robinson. The mauling from the Hurt Syndicate will be a boatload of fun, though.

Backstage Harley Cameron/Mercedes Mone interview

Paquette congratulated Cameron on her win on the February 1 AEW Collision, ignoring the victor’s Mercedes Mone puppet. Mone joined the scene outside of her locker room, declaring that she still saw Cameron unfit for a title shot. Cameron flipped her middle finger to the champion as she returned to her locker room, to which Paquette pulled her away.

Cameron’s comedic stylings brings the right amount of levity the current AEW product. I don’t expect her to defeat Mone, but they’ll make it entertaining, that’s for sure.

“Hangman” Adam Page promo

Page told Paquette that he does not regret leaving Christopher Daniels unable to compete again. Max Caster interrupted, urging Page to speed up his placing the locker room on notice. Frightened by the menace of Page, Caster attempted to leave; Page insisted on following him.

One of AEW’s best emotive and acting ranges exists on Page. He elicits rage and angst while adding humor to maintain his natural human persona.

Hounds of Hell (Buddy Matthews & Brody King) vs Konosuke Takeshita & Kyle Fletcher

Don Callis joined commentary this time as his henchmen underestimated the Hounds of Hell. King’s use of chairs and the weight of his own body unleashed further havoc on his opponents, enough to where they had to trip him up to get an advantage. Atlanta barked with King as he ran rampant, withstanding Takeshita’s strikes. Matthews followed this as he soared across the Atlanta sky to topple Fletcher and crush him with a Meteora to a 2-count pin. Kazuchika Okada’s music blasted, distracting Matthews and stopping his momentum. Takeshita took advantage by a Senton to King and a dropkick to Matthews simultaneously. Takeshita escaped King’s chokehold, leaving Fletcher to plant him with a DDT. Undeterred, King stood tall, enduring multiple superkicks until his foes dropped him with an Assisted Brainbuster for the victory.

This is a prime example of the energy that AEW brings. This had excellent storytelling—Fletcher and Takeshita were so comfortable with their abilities that they didn’t factor in a force equally, if not greater than them. Atlanta was on their feet, and so was I. A strong feud between the Don Callis Family and the Hounds of Hell is needed.

Samoa Joe and Hook visit the Patriarchy

Joe and Hook sought out Christian Cage’s locker room but were met with Kip Sabian and Nick Wayne. Naturally, they beat up the pair and left. A hidden Cage and Martha Wayne slipped into the locker room where the former berated his fallen sons.

MJF promo

Adam Page and MJF’s paths cross yet again in the form of Max Caster, on the run from the grumpy cowboy. After Caster was chased off, MJF found himself jeered by the audience. Moreover, Dustin Rhodes interrupted the Long Islander’s promo with one of his own. Rhodes defiantly proclaimed he’d been through anything MJF could do to him. MJF retorted with Rhodes’s past issues with addiction and living under Dusty Rhodes’s shadow. A brawl ensued with MJF sneaking in a strike that flattened The Natural.

Once again, MJF forewent the brilliance of his promo work to reach for low-hanging fruit. Rhodes, on the other hand, provided a fiery tirade that’s easy to believe in. This is certainly how the Jarrett promo should have gone; no misogyny, just hatred. While I expect this to be a fine match, that is not the takeaway. Repeatedly, AEW has presented fans with teases of a matchup between Page and MJF that tantalizes the more they occur.

“Timeless” Toni Storm defeated Queen Aminata (with Mariah May on commentary)

Storm came out to May’s music, gear, makeup, and also her hairstyle. The Grand Slam challenger fell into her new role fluidly yet bordered on parody, and that’s a compliment. Exaggerating May’s mannerisms and in-ring style increased in hilarity to the chagrin of May. Notwithstanding, Aminata refused to be overshadowed by this, throwing stiff strikes and slamming Storm across the ringside area. Consequently, Aminata quickly turned the conversation her way with a low German Suplex and a knee. Storm recovered with a knee to her own. Storm capitalized by thudding Aminata on the mat with a May Day for the victory.

Post-match, Storm continued the mimicry of May, to the ire of the AEW Women’s World Champion.

Dustin Rhodes backstage promo

Rhodes informed MJF that they’d be in Austin, Texas on February 11’s Dynamite episode and declared he would beat MJF’s ass.

Chris Jericho promo

Jericho announced that he’d be sending Bryan Keith to claim the bounty on Bandido’s head. Before handing the microphone to Big Bill, Jericho and crew suffered an assault at the hands of Will Hobbs and The Outrunners. Bill and Hobbs continued their tussle to the commentary table, despite the warnings of a nearby fan that they’d “hurt each other.”

Well, the good news is we’re getting Keith vs Bandido. The bad news is we have more Jericho.

Ricochet defeated Swerve Strickland

Strickland had not made it far from the entrance tunnel when he fell to a chair shot directed at his back. In the ring, Ricochet picked at the carcass of his prey with kicks and slams. Ricochet, several steps ahead, subverted Strickland’s leapfrog attempt with a high dropkick that sent the former World Champion outside. Perched on the barricade, the pair exchanged forearms until the Mogul caught Ricochet mid-air, sending him onto the barricade with a powerbomb. Exposing the steel of the turnbuckle, Strickland seesawed Ricochet into its unforgiving rigidness. Strickland resorted to his unique, unpredictable nature to pummel Ricochet with a House Call and a Swerve Stomp. Ricochet flipped through the air in a Springboard 450 Splash and a Shooting Star Press to no avail. Ricochet gave a low blow to Strickland during a House Call + Swerve Stomp combination and capitalized with a Spirit Gun to win the match.

What a main event! Ricochet’s signature agility against Strickland’s ingenuity in a big match setting added intensity to one of AEW’s top feuds. This clash of stars punctuated a great performance.

This edition of AEW Dynamite is what we fans come to expect of the brand. The chaos, the impassioned promos, and the high-octane thriller matches felt like a go-home episode ahead of AEW Revolution. If I were Tony, I’d reference episodes like this and the February 1 AEW Collision and tailor the content to reflect fan standards. Listen to Atlanta and tell me I’m wrong.
