Dynamite Card and results
“Hangman” Adam Page defeated Max Caster
After a brief in-ring promo, Caster darted out of the ring seeing Page approach. A Hurricanrana to the slowly plodding Millennial Cowboy gave way to arrogant flaunting. Page rose, however, with two lariats and a sliding variation. He finished off the former Acclaimed member with a Buckshot Lariat, earned a pinfall victory, and put on his jacket again.
Quick and effective. Caster’s comedy makes a great foil to the dominant seriousness of Page (while playing to his comedic side as well).

Death Riders (Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, and PAC) (c) defeated The Undisputed Kingdom (Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly, and Roderick Strong) for AEW Trios Championship
Castagnoli and Cole clashed as the bell rang, while O’Reilly and Strong headed off PAC and Yuta. The Riders cornered O’Reilly, with Castagnoli serving as the gatekeeper to salvation. Strong made the save, landing a particularly nasty Backbreaker to PAC, followed by a Gutbuster by Cole. Castagnoli neutralized Strong, leading to a train of tackles by him, Yuta, and PAC. Cole gave a Neckbreaker to Yuta, and the Kingdom tossed out the Riders, hoping to put away the young stalwart of the team. Texas was loud as the match raged on. Referee Rick Knox made the 3-Count for the Riders after the Riders distracted him from a low blow from Yuta to O’Reilly, successfully retaining the Trios titles..
The AEW Trios Division is starting to heat up with some groups forming or re-forming. Matches like these instill a hope that this will be a priority going forward. The chemistry between the Riders and The Undisputed Kingdom.
— Cope and Jay White trapped Jon Moxley and Marina Shafir backstage and stole the briefcase holding the AEW World Championship
— MJF and “Hangman” Adam Page backstage promo
I loved this. Page had no patience for MJF’s low-hanging fruit, leading to an intense and passionate albeit arrogant and rageful retort. The moment they finally lock up again can’t come soon enough.
Samoa Joe, HOOK, and Katsuyori Shibata defeated Jon Cruz, Aaron Solo, and Grillo
Joe, HOOK, and Shibata dispatched Cruz, Solo, and Grillow with ease. Joe slammed Cruz onto the mat from a top-rope Muscle Buster for a quick and easy victory.
Post-match, Joe declared war on The Patriarchy, issuing a challenge for a future trios match.
— Chris Jericho and Bryan Keith interview
Renee Paquette interviewed Jericho about Keith’s failure to put away Bandido on AEW Collision.
— Jon Moxley and Marina Shafir interrupted Willow Nightingale’s backstage interview
Shafir choked out Nightingale as Moxley threatened Cope and Jay White for their thievery earlier in the night.
— Chris Jericho and Bandido showdown
Both wrestlers met in the ring as it went dark. They prepared to duel, but Bryan Keith tripped up Bandido. Keith and Jericho were ran off by the Outrunners. Big Bill attempted to take it from there, but Hobbs entered for the save, brawling with Big Bill.
— Backstage Cope and Jay White promo
Cope and White gloated at their heist of the World Championship, delivering an ultimatum to meet in the ring.
MJF defeated Dustin Rhodes
Following an impassioned backstage promo to Renee Paquette, Rhodes met MJF in the ring. The moment Rhodes gained control, MJF resorted to cowardice, pleading to feign surrender, and even attempting to walk out. Successful in his ruse, he picked at his senior opponent. Targeting Rhodes’s left arm, MJF avoided a Sunset Flip before he wrenched it. Taunting Rhodes with a Goldust pose, MJF fell with a powerbomb courtesy of Rhodes. “The Natural” himself performed the Goldust taunt and landed a Bulldog. MJF crushed Rhodes with a Piledriver, but that wasn’t enough to put him away. Rhodes thudded MJF with a Final Reckoning, but couldn’t get the job done; MJF countered a second one with Salt of the Earth. Unable to reach the ropes, a defiant Rhodes refused to tap, instead falling unconscious. MJF stood victorious.
Post-match, MJF assaulted the collapsed Rhodes. Adam Page strutted to the ring, leading to a brawl that security tried to break up. The fight extended through the crowd. MJF finished off Page on a ledge near the stairs. Page returned, ending MJF’s trash-talking, resuming the tussle until security finally pulled them apart.
Megan Bayne defeated Maya World
Bayne started the match by dominating World; she countered a leapfrog attempt with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex. Tackling World, Bayne concluded the match with a Press Slam. As she confidently strutted to the back, she was met with an incoming Kris Statlander. A brief staredown before Statlander entered the ring for her own match.
From Stardom to GCW, Bayne has grown tremendously. It’s not as prominent in a squash match, but her sense of control, poise, and confidence will serve her well.
Kris Statlander defeated Penelope Ford
Statlander ensnared Ford with a headlock, using her size and strength to gain any control. Struggling out of a hold by Ford, Statlander’s rage boiled as Ford licked her cheek mockingly. Statlander, off-balance due to Ford’s mind games and the attack on Nightingale earlier in the night, clumsily failed to land a move on the flexible Ford, but soon got her footing. A Poisonrana from Ford merely dazed Statlander, who came back with a lariat + Wednesday Night Fever, earning a pinfall victory.
Post-match, Megan Bayne returned to lay out Statlander and departed again.
Since her return, Ford’s in-ring has proven undeniable. With matches like this and Statlander’s impending bout with Megan Bayne, the women’s division will continue its positive upswing.
— Harley Cameron music video and promo
Cameron and her Mercedes Mone puppet starred in a rap video that was admittedly very impressive with technique. Cameron cut it short, delivering an emotional promo listing her accomplishments and declared she would win the TBS Championship in her home country.
The Hurt Syndicate (Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin with MVP) defeated The Gunns (Austin and Colten Gunn) for the AEW World Tag Team Championships
Colten charged with an ecstatic energy but fell flat to a sturdy Lashley. Austin fared no better, soaring over the top rope where Lashley thrashed him about on the outside; MVP threatened Colten with his walking stick if he interfered. Benjamin entered the fray, taking on the twins in imposing fashion. After Lashley took a spill to the outside, he diffused Colten. Austin suffered under the strikes of both Lashley and Benjamin, saved by Colten. The Gunns slammed Lashley with an assisted Blockbuster, nearly securing a pin on Benjamin with a Famouser. A spiteful Benjamin released the Gunns with subsequent suplexes, punctuated with a spiked slam by Lashley to Colten, finally retaining the titles with a pinfall.
Post-match, Brian Cage and Lance Archer stood at the ramp, applauding and hinting at a future match with the Syndicate.
The Gunns aren’t for me, but they proved to be a round of fun for fans of the Hurt Syndicate. Lashley and Benjamin are visibly enjoying their freedom and fun in their corner of AEW at the moment. I’m so ready for them to take on Cage and Archer.
— Mariah May backstage interview
May stated that Toni Storm’s lunacy has gone on long enough. She concluded that their match in Brisbane, Australia will be a “mercy killing.”
Cope and Jay White demanded a World Championship challenge
Cope brought out his nailed baseball bat named Spike, snarling to Moxley that if he didn’t accept his AEW Revolution challenge, he’d destroy the suitcase once and for all. Moxley ferociously growled back, accepting the match. The Death Riders ambushed Cope and White but fell to Spike courtesy of Cope’s swings and a Blade Runner from White. The Death Riders were left reeling as Cope and White departed backstage.
This was an exhilarating segment, but not one I’d consider worthy of main eventing the episode. Still, it unfurled a plot thread that kept viewers tuned in for the episode, at least it was structured that way. Moreover, I’m more sold on the prospect of Cope versus Moxley, with the caveat of him retaining.
Overall thoughts
There weren’t as many matches this week, but those matches did their job of telling their stories and delivering enthralling action. A minor step down from last week’s Dynamite, yet a perfectly acceptable night of AEW. The Death Riders story is slowly improving, while the Hurt Syndicate are earning more momentum as champions. The real drives, however, are the feuds of Hangman versus MJF, Swerve Strickland versus Ricochet, May versus Storm; and Mone versus Cameron. Grand Slam: Australia officially feels can’t-miss.
