AEW DYNAMITE was broadcast on TBS and streamed on MAX live
from the Gateway Center Arena in Atlanta, GA!
Excalibur, “The Human Suplex Machine” Taz, and Tony
Schiavone were the broadcast team for tonight’s event.
It’s Wednesday night and you know what that means!
Renee Paquette interviewed “Switchblade” Jay White about his
newfound relationship with Cope!
Jay: “Dealing with the Death Riders I have to rely on FTR
and Adam Copeland because the Death Riders always seem to
have the numbers—”
The Death Riders walked up to Jay White and were about to
ambush him when Rated FTR evened up the numbers for
Switchblade! Both factions began to brawl with the action
spilling from outside to inside the arena! The melee spilled
toward ringside!
Mox and Jay White got into the ring. Wheeler walked into a
Blade Runner from Jay White. Pac saved Moxley from a Blade
Runner. The FTR nailed Pac with a Shatter Machine! Claudio
cracked Cash Wheeler with a huge uppercut. Claudio and
Moxley double teamed Jay White. Cope speared Claudio! Moxley
and the Death Riders retreated through the crowd.
Cope: “Moxley, I don’t know if you can hear it, but all
these folks are chanting one name. So Moxley, c’mon, what’s
your answer? Do you still got a set of nuts? What is your
answer for my challenge? You and me, one on one for the AEW
World Championship at Revolution?!”
Mox: “You deserve nothing. You’ll get nothing. Your answer
is no!”
Jay White: “Hey Moxley, listen to me. I have another offer
for you. Why don’t I make you try to breathe with the
Switchblade? Jon Moxley and Claudio versus Cope and me, in a
good ol’ fashioned Brisbane Brawl at Grand Slam?”
“It seems as if Moxley accepted the challenge from Jay
White,” said Excalibur.
“The Aerial Assassin” Will Ospreay
vs.
A Member of the Don Callis Family!
Don Callis: “Ladies and gentlemen, I have a very important
announcement to make. The opponent for Will Ospreay tonight
is a man you know very well. It’s a man you called your
brother, bruv. Ladies and gentleman, Mark Davis! He is the
‘Ospreay Killer!’”
Davis chopped at Ospreay while the fans chanted “You sold
out!” to Davis. Davis slammed Will and went for a senton,
but Will moved out of the way and dropkicked Mark Davis.
Davis back dropped Ospreay, showing off his tremendous
power.
Mark Davis suplexed Will and then kicked him in the back.
Davis smashed Will with open palm strikes to the chest.
Ospreay connected with a springboard forearm. Davis sent
Will soaring with a Dragon Suplex. Will Ospreay retaliated
with a dive over the top rope, connecting with a cross body
press to Davis on the arena floor.
Will drilled Davis with an Os Cutter for a near fall! Davis
blocked the Hidden Blade and trucked Will with a lariat.
Davis spiked Ospreay with a piledriver, but Will kicked out
at the two-count. Davis tore the turnbuckle pad off the
middle rope. The ref admonished Davis. Ospreay wasted no
time to strike with the Hidden Blade and pinning Mark Davis!
Will Ospreay: “Yes, bruv! Atlanta! It’s like a little party
in here. And Don, seeing as you like to crash the party,
I’ve got a new best friend back there who I’m teaming up
with in Australia at Grand Slam.”
Kenny Omega came down to the ring!
Omega: “This was more meant to be a celebration for my pal
Will, but I have to get something off my chest. Mark Davis,
man to man, I have no clue what Don Callis has on you, but
although it may be scary, help is there. And what I’ve
learned is there are people here you can trust.
“One week from now I make my in ring return to AEW in
Australia. But listening to your voices tonight just gave me
the itch so I had to come out here and say hello to you in
person.”
Kyle Fletcher and Konosuke Takeshita walked out of the
tunnel!
Omega: “I’ve got nothing but time. I suggest you guys get
ready for next week at Grand Slam as it’ll be Omega and
Ospreay against Fletcher and Takeshita. It’s been a while
since people could really feel what I felt in 2019 and on.
And now that I’m back, all you people will get to feel all
the things I’ve been feeling. It’s the match to prove that
the future lies here in this ring.”
Up next: AEW World Tag Team Champions The Hurt Syndicate—
Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin—with MVP, came to the
ring!
MVP: “Ladies and gentlemen, this is an official announcement
from the Hurt Syndicate. I need everyone to stand on their
feet and show respect to your new AEW World Tag Team
Champions. I’m going to keep this short and sweet. I’ve got
to give props to Private Party, two young talented athletes
with a very bright future. They were just the wrong people
in the wrong place at the wrong time.
“I’d like to put everyone else on notice. If you are an AEW
athlete and if you are a champion, get ready, because when
we choose, we are going to come and see you and take your
title. But until that time, we’re open for business. And if
you’d like an opportunity to face the AEW World Tag Team
Champions—”
Gunns Up!
The Gunn Club—Austin and Colten Gunn made their return and
walked out of the tunnel!
Austin: “We want to talk business.”
MVP: “You’re conducting yourself like men, so come into the
ring and talk face to face with us like men.”
The Gunns got into the ring. The Gunns introduced themselves
to the Hurt Syndicate. The Gunns said it was time for them
to take back their tag team titles. MVP said he appreciated
the moxie and respected the courage. MVP said he was about
business and said next week, for the AEW World Tag Team
Championship, it’ll be the Hurt Syndicate against a couple
of ass boys!
“Well that stung,” said Tony Schiavone.
Austin: “You know what, if you’re not down with that, we’ve
got two words for you: Gunns up!”
Renee Paquette was backstage trying to get a word with the
“The CEO” Mercedes Moné!
Harley Cameron was there with a Mercedes puppet and said
she’d have a concert this Saturday on Collision. Mercedes
interrupted and mocked Harley for getting her first ever win
on Collision. Mercedes said she is the greatest TBS Champion
of all time and Harley is a loser. Mercedes told Harley to
stay away from her locker room!
Renee Paquette was backstage with “Hangman” Adam Page!
Page: “Don’t ask about Swerve Strickland again! And
Christopher Daniels overstepped. He accepted a Texas Death
Match with the Hangman, and I did what I said I’d do, and
he’ll never wrestle again.”
Max Caster interrupted and asked them to wrap it up. Page
was in disbelief over the interruption. Caster saw he bit
off more than he intended to chew and excused himself. Page
followed him!
International All-Star Tag Match!
The Hounds of Hell—Brody King & Buddy Matthews
vs.
AEW International Champion Konosuke Takeshita & Kyle
Fletcher (with Don Callis)!
Fletcher and Matthews faced off first. Matthews was quick
and Fletcher thought discretion the better part of valor,
tagging out to Takeshita. Brody grabbed a blind tag and
cracked Takeshita with a thunderous chop. Brody blasted
Fletcher with a chop for good measure.
Brody crushed Takeshita and Fletcher with a running cross
body press, sandwiching them against the barricade. Brody
bashed Takeshita with a lariat. Takeshita caught Brody with
an elbow strike. Takeshita walloped Brody with a German
Suplex. Brody got right back up and both men collided, both
having the same idea going for running lariats.
Buddy flew over the top rope and wiped out Takeshita and
Fletcher on the outside of the ring. Buddy drove Fletcher
down with a meteora, good for a near fall.
The fans chanted “This is awesome! This is awesome!”
Fletcher ran into a waiting knee strike from Buddy. Buddy
was on the top rope when Okada’s music began to play.
Matthews took his eye off his opponent for a moment and
Fletcher tried to capitalize, to no avail. Buddy tagged
Brody in, and the Hounds of Hell were on the attack.
Takeshita broke up Brody’s pin attempt on Fletcher.
Fletcher planted Brody with a DDT, but Brody kicked out at
the two-count. Fletcher pinned Brody after an assisted brain
buster!
Samoa Joe and HOOK were walking backstage, approaching
Christian Cage’s locker room.
Kip Sabian and Nick Wayne were waiting for them. Samoa Joe
said they’d leave a message for Christian Cage. Joe and Hook
began to pummel Kip and Nick. Samoa Joe: “Tell your daddy I
said hi.”
Christian Cage had been hiding the entire time and then once
Samoa Joe and Hook left, Christian Cage walked back into the
locker room and asked Kip and Nick what was going on!
MJF came to the ring with a microphone!
MJF: “Jeff Jarrett, all you had to do was stay out of the
way of a young, fast rising humble star and you just
couldn’t do that. That’s why I had to teach you a lesson,
Jeff. And that lesson is as follows: AEW, the E in AEW
stands for All Elite Wrestling. Not All Elderly Wrestling.
“And now that that carnie is out of my way, I am one step
closer to once again obtaining my triple b, baby, because
ain’t nobody on the level of the devil.”
Max Caster ran into the ring and was saying “Hangman”!
Hangman ran into the ring, Caster retreated through the
fans, and Page and MJF had a momentary standoff until
Hangman continued his pursuit of Caster through the fans.
MJF: “Before I was so rudely interrupted by a worthless
hack, ain’t nobody on the level of the—”
ROH World Tag Team Champion “The Natural” Dustin Rhodes
walked to the ring!
MJF: “Cut his music! Listen buddy I am talking right now!”
Dustin: “Shut your stupid trap! All you do is degrade
everyone in the back, and you talk about people who aren’t
even here anymore like my friend Owen Hart. I suggest you
keep Owen’s name out of your mouth or I’m going to kick your
teeth in! Stop talking about people’s wives or people’s past
problems with drugs and alcohol. I crawled out of hell, Max,
you’re not the devil!
“You have all the potential in the world, Max, but you
decide to go to all these dark places. I’m 55 and there’s a
reason I’m still hanging with all these people on the
roster. It’s because I am a survivor and the last of my
kind! Because I’ve survived everything. Anything you can
think of, I’ve been through, boy! I want you to know this
right now. When I am gone, the mold will be broken forever.
I am better than you and your punk ass knows it!”
MJF: “Time out. Bravo, give it up for Dustin Rhodes. That
was incredible. But I’ve gotta tell you Dustin, the part
where you said you were better than me. I’d imagine all
those years of you being a useless drug addict turned your
brain into Swiss cheese. But let me smarten all these people
to what you’re all about.
“You took 37 years of blood, sweat and tears just to get out
of your daddy’s shadow. I’ve got a better one for you. You
know what’s so sad about the whole thing is that after all
that hard work and sacrifice, now you live in the shadow of
your little baby brother—”
Dustin Rhodes decked MJF! The two men began to brawl, and
security ran down to separate them! MJF kicked Dustin with a
low blow between the legs and then celebrated!
“Timeless” Toni Storm vs. Queen Aminata!
AEW Women’s World Champion Mariah May joined the commentary
team for this match.
Toni Storm was introduced by Justin Roberts as “playing the
role of ‘The Glamour’ Mariah May.” Toni was dressed wearing
the same ring attire that Mariah May wears.
“The Professor” Serena Deeb was watching on a monitor
backstage, scouting Queen Aminata.
Toni hit Aminata with a running hip attack, knocking Aminata
to the arena floor. Queen Aminata answered with a tope
between the second and third rope. Toni nailed Aminata with
a shotgun dropkick.
Queen Aminata connected with a running shin shot to Toni’s
face! Toni snapped off a quick DDT and then hit a knee
strike. Toni rocked Aminata with a running hip attack in the
corner. Toni planted Queen Aminata with the May Day and
scored the pin!
“We are all set for next Saturday in Brisbane at Grand
Slam,” said Tony Schiavone.
Renee Paquette interviewed Toni Storm in the ring!
Toni: “I’m Mariah May and I’m the woman from hell and I
stand on the neck of every woman in this division. And there
is not a woman alive that can touch me.”
Mariah May jumped on the ring apron but thought better of
it. Mariah took her championship and left, not caring to be
upstaged.
“The Natural” Dustin Rhodes was backstage!
Dustin: “I’m still here, MJF! I live for blood, sweat and
tears. I am the last of my kind. I’m around for a reason,
boy. And next Tuesday night, Austin, Texas, I’m going to
beat your ass!”
It was time for ROH World Champion Chris Jericho’s New York
Minute!
Jericho: “We’re live here in Georgia. I think I speak on
behalf of everyone here when I say Bandido, I don’t know how
you decided you’re such a wanted man because no one wants
you here in AEW. But since you did, I’m going to turn this
into a teachable moment. Bandido, apparently there’s a
$100,000 bounty on your head. But since I’m standing here
with an actual bounty hunter, I am going to double this and
make it $200,000 Bryan Keith if you can do on Collision to
Bandido what Big Bil has done to Powerhouse Hobbs!”
Powerhouse Hobbs charged at Big Bill. He was outnumbered but
he didn’t care. The Outrunners had Hobbs’ back and they
jumped into the fray! Security had to separate the
wrestlers!
Big Bill and Powerhouse Hobbs got into the ring and began to
brawl! Big Bill and Hobbs spilled through the ropes. They
clobbered one another onto the announcers’ desk!
Swerve Strickland (with Prince Nana) vs. Ricochet!
Ricochet ambushed Swerve with a steel chair as Swerve was
making his entrance. Ricochet rocked Swerve with the Vertigo
for a near fall. Ricochet dropkicked Swerve and followed up
with a tope suicida. Swerve power bombed Ricochet on top of
the guardrail! Swerve pulled off the turnbuckle pad and
catapulted Ricochet into the exposed steel.
Ricochet chopped Swerve in the chest. Ricochet smacked
Swerve with a knee strike. Swerve body slammed Ricochet.
Ricochet was staggered by a release German Suplex, followed

Ricochet landed the 450 Splash for a near fall! Ricochet
smashed Swerve with a shooting star press to the spine!
Swerve connected with the House Call. Swerve went for the
Swerve Stomp, but Ricochet countered with a low blow and

it!
