AEW Dynamite Results

— MJF promo calling out MJF

Swerve Strickland (with Prince Nana) and Ricochet contract signing

Ricochet immediately mocked Prince Nana for his missing robe and taunted Strickland for his burnt-down house. He justified his actions in this rivalry by bringing up Strickland embarrassing him weekly since his debut. Strickland’s rebuttal stated that  he’d put Ricochet in the ground and brought up his “ring announcer wife.” As soon as Strickland turned his back, Ricochet attempted to ambush him with his golden scissors. Sensing this, Strickland countered with scissors of his own.

Ricochet becomes progressively despicable every time he appears on AEW television. He walks and talks with a believable arrogance, wrapped up in a tiny little person. His greatest achievement is making a character so deplorable that it’s instantly bringing Strickland back to the status of feeling “main event.”

Will Ospreay, Powerhouse Hobbs, Mark Briscoe, & Orange Cassidy defeated Bryan Keith, Mark Davis, Brian Cage, & Lance Archer

Ospreay sprinted into action first, offset instantly by the stocky Cage. Briscoe, Hobbs, and Cassidy each took turns clobbering Cage, the last of which fell to a slam. Davis sent Cassidy down with a verticle suplex and traded forearms with Hobbs. The Powerhouse continued to hold his own against Archer and Cage, using their own momentum against them as they collided. He then proceeded to slingshot Ospreay and Briscoe into Davis before charging at him with Cassidy latched around his back. Keith broke up the subsequent pin and held his own with strategy but fell to a clothesline. Ospreay intercepted, nearly securing the win, but former United Empite teammate Davis stopped him. Archer set about demolishing Briscoe, but he countered and used a chair to catapult himself to Archer and Cage on the outside. Keith, overwhelmed by Ospreay, fell to a Hidden Blade.

— Post-match, Ospreay had little time to celebrate as Davis choked him out. None of Ospreay’s colleagues could help. His team as dispatched by Keith and the Don Callis Family. The Family followed up by beating down Ospreay. Kyle Fletcher entered and had a verbal altercation with Davis. Davis struck Ospreay in the back with a chair, while Fletcher dropped him via a vertical suplex on that same chair.

The star of the match was undoubtedly Hobbs. The part where Cassidy rode on his back like he were Yoda and Hobbs was Luke Skywalker was particularly entertaining. The post-match beatdown, while selling Ospreay vs Fletcher well enough, annoyed me as I’ve been wanting an Aussie Open reunion match. Still, a fun first match of the night.

Cope defeated Wheeler Yuta

Cameras followed Yuta from outside the arena as he strutted to the ring. Cope energetically haunted in, the crowd fully behind him. The pair locked up, with Cope not reaching for the same tactics that incapacitated Claudio Castagnoli, PAC, and Marina Shafir (a la Willow Nightingale). Yuta attempted to work Cope’s legs, but the veteran’s matwork experience saw him holding the youngster down with a shoulder hold. Yuta tossed Cope over and over with deep arm drags, but Cope’s dominance continued as he dropped Yuta’s head on the ring apron. Cope became too comfortable, failing to capitalize on Yuta, who flattened him with a Buzaiku Knee. Yuta’s speed began to increase, so Cope knew he had to act quickly. With a Spear, he pinned Yuta for the 3-count.

— Post-match, Cope forcibly shook Yuta’s hand. “This. This is what respect looks like.” Cope put down the microphone he spoke this with and left a confused Yuta. An enraged Jon Moxley entered the ring, bullying Yuta for playing nice with the enemy. Shoving Moxley’s face away, Yuta bitterly walked away. Moxley then cut a promo applauding Cope’s cunning, but warned to watch out because he only needs one chance to take the Rated-R Superstar out.

Cope has played a game of mental chess with Jon Moxley and won. Taking out his teammates violently and manipulated Yuta to part ways with Moxley (at least possibly for the night). That’s an excellently crafted plan. One that’ll make Moxley a danger to face at Revolution.

— MJF and Hangman Page segment

MJF called out Hangman Page in the parking lot again for not showing up at the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium. Page nearly ran him over. Page chased and dragged a scarf-wearing man to the ring, only to realize too late that he wasn’t MJF. Ambushing the cowboy, MJF countered a lariat with a low blow and a Heatseeker. Page thwarted a first Dynamite Diamond Ring punch and pummeled the Long Islander but fell to a second attempted punch. As he was dousing Page with lighter fluid, an army of security and referee workers carried him away.

I’m sure that arson is already frowned upon in California right now, as is setting another human being on fire is frowned on by society in general. That said, this was a wild brawling segment. There’s not much else that can be done ahead of the Revolution match, so resorting to violence is the best follow-up before the big show.

— Ash Avildsen and Toni Storm segment

Avildsen promoted his Queen of the Ring-directed film while Storm joined him before addressing her upcoming Revolution match with AEW Women’s World Championship challenger Mariah May.

Penelope Ford & Megan Bayne defeated Kris Statlander & Thunder Rosa

Statlander hoped to lock up with Bayne, but Ford met her instead. Rosa took it from there, enduring the brunt of Ford’s offense. Firing back with chops and strikes, Rosa dropkicked Ford while Ian Riccaboni referenced Tupac Shakur’s hit song “California Love” on commentary. Bayne weaponized the petite Ford, throwing her to Statlander and Rosa on the outside. Bayne withstood Rosa’s body shots, stunned only by an enzuigiri courtesy of Rosa. Statlander charged in, rampaging against Bayne and Ford like a bull in a china shop. Rosa launched herself off Statlander’s back for a dropkick on Ford. She took flight with a dropkick to the outside. Statlander aimed to follow up from the top rope, but Ford sent her falling. Rosa, alone, battled the odds, nearly incapacitating Ford. Bayne caught Rosa, dropping her with a Fate Descent for the win.

Jay White vs Max Caster

Caster gloated in the ring before insulting the Sacramento crowd. He then mentioned his open challenge, to which White answered. The match ended immediately with a Blade Runner.

— Post-match, White addressed Cope’s upcoming match with Jon Moxley, hinting at challenging or standing by Cope if he became AEW World Champion.

— Toni Storm and Mariah May sit-down interview with Renee Paquette

May spat in Storm’s face before either could say a word. Storm said little, sitting stoicly instead. May pleaded in an unhinged fashion. Calmly, Storm delivered an epic monologue that chilled me to the bone. Please have these women be the main event, Tony Khan.

Kazuchika Okada & Ricochet defeated Brody King & Swerve Strickland

Strickland locked up with Okada, the latter backing him into his corner; Ricochet did not capitalize on the easy opportunity. Okada tagged him in, easily distracting Strickland into a beatdown. King pounced in, clobbering Okada to the outside. Strickland flung Ricochet to the outside before slingshotting himself courtesy of King into Ricochet. The Mogul then set King up to cannonball himself into a stacked Okada and Ricochet. The teamwork continued, with King carrying both opponents so Strickland could headstomp them to the ground. The pair proceeded to bully Ricochet with their unforgiving might.

King equalized Okada and Ricochet, nearly winning with a Death Valley Driver to Okada, which Ricochet broke up. Battered, Okada tagged a gleeful Ricochet in, only for an exhausted King to do the same. Unable to flee, Ricochet used every swing and strike he could to overwhelm Strickland. Countering his opponent’s offense with a DDT, Ricochet nearly grasped victory, but Strickland kicked out. Strickland crushed Ricochet with a Swerve Stomp but suffered an elbow drop by Okada. Trading forearms, King escaped the Rainmaker and followed with a splash to the corner. Hoping for a belt strike to King, Strickland made the save with a House Call. While King and Strickland were distracted, Ricochet struck Strickland with the belt and ran off with the win.

This main event was thrilling. In a perfect world, these tag teams would stick together. They each had such wonderful chemistry that made the show’s closing an exciting rollercoaster. King and Okada’s goofy storyline coalesced well wit the serious nature of Strickland and Ricochet’s.

Closing thoughts

The show, while not mind-blowing, had a plethora of things to enjoy. I didn’t even notice that the show went over its allotted time. Toni Storm’s monologue was the star of the show, but the Death Riders’ storyline development is not to be denied. Several angles are red-hot right now, and this is so needed for Revolution. You won’t go wrong, catching tonight’s episode.
