AEW Dynamite Results
The commentators opened the show before an ambulance truck interrupted as cameras in the parking lot revealed Cope exiting the back. He told the Death Riders “This will be your ride tonight.
— MJF promo
MJF received a laser tattoo removal on his ankle, bemoaning the crowd’s love for Hangman Page over him. He said there are only 3 letters that matter to him now, “M-J-F.”
Hangman Page defeated Aaron Solo
Solo started the match hopeful, but try as he might, Page’s tenacity and power overwhelmed him. Solo fell to a deathly Buckshot Lariat and looked at the lights for the pinfall.
Post-match, Page called out MJF, snarling that he wouldn’t leave the ring unless MJF faced him. He emerged, carrying a bloody towel, smirking at Page. MJF opted out of facing Page, stating he needs to go home. MJF added that Page should check on his friend and see who’s “real.” Page found a crimson-soaked Christopher Daniels sprawled out backstage and urged security to help.
Page is a strong squash match wrestler, about as great as any other traditional and plunder match. The MJF post-match angle teetered brilliantly toward the Swerve Strickland territory, and I’m here for it.
— Chris Jericho backstage segment
Jericho touted his warmly received match against Bandido at last week’s AEW Collision. Don Callis and Mark Davis exited Jericho’s locker room, requesting Jericho’s help in taking out Will Ospreay. Jericho obliged, sending Bryan Keith to face Ospreay in the next match.
Will Ospreay defeated Bryan Keith in a Bounty Match
A series of frenetically paced action saw Keith briefly gain control over the match until Ospreay caught and stretched his arm. The Brit nearly won with a Standing Sky Twister Press but didn’t get the 3-Count. He readied a Hidden Blade before Keith evaded. Ospreay grew overconfident, leading Keith to evade another aerial maneuver that strained his opponent’s knee. During picture-in-picture, Keith maintained his momentum as a visibly lit Kyle Fletcher and Don Callis watched from a balcony. Ospreay began his spirited comeback, striking Keith with forearms. Launching himself with a Springboard Elbow Spring, he earned another 2-Count. Ospreay countered Keith’s offense with a Stundog Millionaire + Oscutter. Following with a Back-Body Drop, Styles Clash, and Hidden Blade, he finally put the Bounty Hunter away.
Post-match, Ospreay marched through the crowd to attack Fletcher and Callis, but security kept them apart.
Ospreay and Keith had a thriller. Keith lasted far longer than I’d have thought he would, and his grounded offense proved an excellent foil to the airborne Ospreay. I adored commentary mentioning Abdullah the Butcher.
— Mercedes Mone backstage promo
Mone strutted through the backstage hallways boasting about her recent victories and talking trash about Momo Watanabe. Mone proceeded to bully an incoming Billie Starkz before Watanabe chased Mone away, dropping her TBS Championship in the process.
The Outrunners (Turbo Floyd & Truth Magnum) defeated The Murder Machines (Brian Cage & Lance Archer)
Floyd & Magnum were off to a fiery start, eventually sending Cage & Archer over the top rope. The Murder Machines gained retribution, catching The Outrunners, and tossing them into the barricades. Back in the ring, Archer charged at Magnum in the corner. Cage did much of the same with only a glimpse of hope to tag in Floyd. Magnum’s comeback sent Archer back down and Cage to the outside, leading to a turbo hot tag by Floyd. From elbow strikes to Flying Crossbodies, he overwhelmed the Murder Machines but nearly fell to a Powerbomb + Chokeslam combination. Magnum intercepted, but Cage kept him at bay on the outside. Defenseless, Floyd almost met his demise courtesy Archer’s chokeslam. The Murderhawk’s Blackout almost earned the Murder Machines the win, had the Hurt Syndicate not distracted him. As their music played, an off-guard Archer succumbed to a roll-up pin.
Let’s stop lying about how The Outrunners are industry plants or how they’re meme wrestlers. Excellent chemistry with Archer and Cage. Now they’re getting more TV time, The Outrunners are maximizing every second with their in-ring. I’m actually looking forward to them facing the Hurt Syndicate soon.
— Swerve Strickland and Prince Nana in-ring promo
Strickland celebrated his accolades and his time as the former AEW World Champion before voicing his displeasure at Ricochet’s antics in the past few months. Ricochet emerged asking if Strickland was stupid or dumb, declaring he’s moved on and ready for the World Championship picture. Nana announced he and Tony Khan agreed to set up a rematch against Strickland. He further added that whoever wins that match earns a #1 Contendership to an AEW World Championship match. Ricochet agreed, but only at AEW Revolution and he left. Nana turned his attention to Strickland, demanding that Strickland put away Ricochet and reclaim his robe or else they will be done with each other.
Ricochet is a menace and has developed his character to a significant degree. Ahaaaa. Also, the Nana-Strickland separation that could come of this match will be so heartbreaking.
— Hangman Page backstage promo
Undisputed Kingdom (Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly, & Roderick Strong) defeated Daniel Garcia & FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler)
Wheeler and O’Reilly locked up, exchanging Drop Toe Holds and Hammerlocks. Garcia and Cole then tagged in, delivering high-octane action, dodging the other with such speed. Harwood tagged in, suffering chest chops by Strong. Garcia faced Strong, grounding him with a hold until Cole broke it up. Both teams had strong verbal disagreements before taking each other to the outside where chaos ran rampant. Back in the ring, Harwood held Strong’s neck in a hold, broken only by the captive man’s vicious chops. Isolated from his partners, Harwood suffered an onslaught of coordinated moves by the Undisputed Kingdom. Battling out of the odds, Harwood sinched in his hero Bret Hart’s Sharpshooter on O’Reilly; a rope break saved him. Garcia and FTR synced their own holds on the Undisputed Kingdom, but each Undisputed Kingdom member transitioned into a rollup. Cole and Garcia reunited once more in a flurry of fists. Each team members proceeded to break up the others’ holds and moves. Garcia nearly had Cole, but he reversed it into a rollup bridging pin for the victory.
Post-match, commentary announced a TNT Championship match between holder Daniel Garcia and challenger Adam Cole.
The Undisputed Kingdom seems headed towards a heel turn soon and this match makes the case for it. This was a rollercoaster that you must watch.
— Death Riders and Cope/Jay White segment
Claudio Castagnoli searched for Cope, who ambushed him. They brawled to the ring where Wheeler Yuta joined Castagnoli for a Conchairto. Jay White came to Cope’s aid, met by Marina Shafir’s attack on Cope. Yuta, aiming for Cope, accidentally took out Shafir with a Buzaiku Knee. Cope executed a Conchairto to Castagnoli. Jon Moxley evacuated Yuta successfully but watched in fear as Cope handed the chair to a vengeful Willow Nightingale with a Conchairto of her own to Shafir.
Oh, I loved this. Cope’s answer to the Death Riders is to execute them one-by-one until it’s just him and Moxley is the bit of storytelling needed. What’s more is the comeuppance on Moxley’s face, showing a hint of care for his comrades as well as the impending doom at the lengths Cope will go to stop him.
Harley Cameron defeated Deonna Purrazzo
The feisty Cameron struggled against Purrazzo in the early stretch but refused to stay down. Following up with subsequent strikes and moves, Cameron attempted a dive from the top rope. Purrazzo sent Cameron to the outside with a basement slide. Purrazzo stood inches away from victory after a Powerbomb but had no success. Cameron caught Purrazzo, reversing with a slam to the mat for the win.
Cameron is highly beloved by the crowd. Enduring Purrazzo and countering with any bit of offense she had, heightened the drama. Hopefully, Purrazzo will rack up some meaningful wins of her own soon.
Konosuke Takeshita (c) vs Orange Cassidy for the AEW International Championship
Cassidy’s typical aloof antics didn’t impress Takeshita, who used his strength to offset the challenger’s speed. Takeshita, briefly stunned by a DDT, struck back with a gnarly elbow strike that left Cassidy dazed on the mat. Mounting a comeback attempt, Cassidy darted across the ring, falling to a lariat by the champion. Takeshita kept a firm grip on Cassidy, countering a DDT and a Stundog Millionaire with a soundly Blue Thunderbomb. Cassidy weakly, yet sassily put his hands in his pocket, goading Takeshita to send him through the announce desk; the challenger then countered it with a Beach Break. Soaring across the ring and the outside, Cassidy did a flying DDT to Takeshita. Cassidy countered a Brainbuster with a Stundog Millionaire. The pair traded finishers, each more devastating than the last. The crowd roared on their feet. Takeshita dropped Cassidy with a Raging Fire for the pinfall.
Oh my goodness. This match exceeded any expectations I had, which were already high. I sat on the edge of my seat as the minutes drew closer. Surely, this would be a draw, I thought. No. Just when Takeshita had an answer, Cassidy changed the questions, but inevitably Takeshita enjoyed yet another victory. Of all his International Championship matches, this defense is definitely in the top five.
Closing Thoughts
AEW’s string of sensational Dynamite and Collision episodes continues. Seriously, if it’s not a character or plot being developed, fans are treated to insane levels of matches that wouldn’t feel out of place in 2021 AEW. This is a strong period heading into the AEW Revolution event, a pay-per-view that may very well shift the company’s perception as time goes on. Buckle in, folks. AEW’s firing on all cylinders.
