AEW DYNAMITE was broadcast live on TBS from the Maverik
Center in Salt Lake City, UT!
Excalibur, “Daddy Magic” Matt Menard, and Tony Schiavone
were the broadcast team for tonight’s event.
It’s Wednesday night and you know what that means!
The show went on the air with a contingent of the AEW roster
waiting, armed and ready, for AEW World Champion Jon Moxley
and his crew to show up to the arena!
Tony Schiavone was in the ring to interview “Hangman” Adam
Page!
Adam Page: “Last week I took Jay White’s head off! And
before that I nearly took Juice Robinson’s life! And a few
weeks ago I knocked out Austin Gunn so bad that I still
doubt he remembers his own brother’s name!”
Colten Gunn jumped Adam Page from behind, getting a measure
of revenge for his brother!
After a miscalculation, Hangman sent Colten hard into the
ring apron. Page took off his leather belt and just as he
was about to wrap it around Colten Gunn, Juice Robinson and
Jay White ran down, surrounding the ring.
Jay White jumped into the ring, landed some shots, and
Hangman limped away.
Jay White: “Where are you going? I’m right here where you
want me! You can hobble away but you can’t hide. I know how
much that leg hurts you and that I will always have your
number. If it wasn’t for Christian Cage saving you, I’d be
5-0.
“But nothing changes the fact that when the bell rings, you
can’t measure up to the Switchblade. I know I haven’t seen
the last of you, but you haven’t seen the last of the
Switchblade!”
ROH World Tag Team Champion “Spanish God” Sammy Guevara
vs.
Shelton Benjamin (with MVP)!
Shelton grabbed Sammy around the waist and sent him flying.
Shelton whipped Sammy into the turnbuckles. Shelton hit a
snap suplex. Sammy served up a corkscrew dropkick. Shelton
blocked a cutter attempt. Sammy followed up with a
springboard moonsault to the outside!
Shelton blocked a tope and countered with a belly to belly
suplex on the ramp!
“Shelton Benjamin is dissecting Sammy Guevara,” said
Excalibur.
“Sammy has got plenty of courage and reserve,” replied Tony
Schiavone.
Shelton nailed Sammy with a German Suplex in the ring. Sammy
was clutching the back of his head. Sammy slipped behind
with a roll-up for a near fall. Sammy blasted Benjamin with
a thrust kick and then hit a jumping knee strike. Sammy flew
over the top with a tope con hiro.
Back in the ring, Sammy connected with a cutter, but
Benjamin kicked out at the one-count! Sammy jumped off the
top turnbuckle, but Benjamin cracked Sammy with a thrust
kick! Benjamin knocked down Sammy with a second thrust kick!
Shelton finished Sammy with an exploder into a powerslam for
the pin!
Renee Paquette was backstage trying to get a word with AEW
Women’s World Champion “The Glamour” Mariah May!
Mariah May: “Anna Jay doesn’t belong in the ring with me.
She doesn’t belong in the locker room with me!”
Mariah May threw Anna Jay’s luggage down the hall and Anna
Jay and Mariah May began to brawl. Christopher Daniels had
to separate the champion and the challenger!
We heard from The Don Callis Family’s “The Protostar” Kyle
Fletcher!
Don Callis accompanied Kyle to the ring to be interviewed by
Tony Schiavone.
Don Callis: “Kyle Fletcher has something important to say.”
Kyle Fletcher: “You people can boo me all you want. The only
person I am here to talk to is Will Ospreay. It’s been 11
days, Will, since I cost you your International
Championship. It’s been 11 days since you’ve been laid up in
a hospital bed with numbness because of that herniated disc
that you don’t tell anyone about. And this whole time you’ve
been wondering why, Kyle, why?
“And oh boy, does that make me happy. What these idiots
don’t realize is that they are just to much to blame for
this as you are. When I got to AEW they said I was the next
big thing. They said I had the brightest future in
professional wrestling. And then you got here, Will. And
instead of being the next big thing, they started calling me
the next Will Ospreay.
“They said I looked like you, I wrestled like you, and I
sounded like you. And I took everyone of those comparisons
as an insult because in reality I am bigger, stronger,
faster, and better than you in every single way.
“And maybe there was a time I would have liked those
comparisons. Back in 2021 when I joined the United Empire,
you were the kingpin. You had a killer instinct. You want to
know why I left New Japan and came to AEW, Will? Let’s talk
about what happened between you and Okada. He brought you
into New Japan and became your brother and you stabbed him
in the back. What happened between you and Kenny Omega? He
left New Japan and you stepped up, but instead of being
praised for that, they said you’d never fill his shoes. So
you used the exact same screwdriver that I used to stab him
and drop him on his neck with a Tiger Driver.
“I saw the writing on the wall, and I left to get out of
your shadow because that’s the lesson you taught me. And
that’s when Don taught me something. You never wanted me to
reach my full potential or surpass you, because that’s the
kind of person Will Ospreay is—selfish! I will give you one
chance to save face with these people.
“You will face me in this ring next week. You will ignore
the doctors’ orders to prove to these people that you give a
damn about them. But one thing is for sure. I am sending you
back to that hospital for a lot longer than 11 days. I will
bury you in this mat with Tiger Driver after Tiger Driver
and I will stand atop that mess as the one and only
Protostar, Kyle Fletcher! But if I want to stand atop this
company and take it to heights it has never seen before, I
can be nothing like you.”
Don Callis handed Fletcher an electric hair razor. Fletcher
said he was nothing like Will Ospreay and began to shave his
head!
“I am nothing like you! I am nothing like you! I am nothing
like you!” screamed Kyle Fletcher, completely intent on
stepping out of the shadows of the man he once called
brother, Will Ospreay.
Renee Paquette was backstage with Ricochet!
Ricochet: “I’m a man of my word and I told everyone I’d show
up anywhere to get my hands on Takeshita, and that’s what I
did showing up at Maple Leaf Pro this past weekend. So I’m
calling anyone out this Friday for Rampage because I’m in a
bad mood. But remember, payback is a bitch.”
MVP and Shelton Benjamin interrupted.
MVP: “Yes, it is! New company, new chapter, new beginnings.
Let’s start off fresh.”
MVP handed Ricochet his business card.
The Don Callis Family’s “The MurderHawk Monster” Lance
Archer
& “The Machine” Brian Cage
vs.
two local competitors!
Archer chopped one of the members of the opposing team. Cage
planted the other competitor with a spinebuster and then a
German Suplex. Archer and Cage finished things off with a
power bomb-choke slam combo and Archer picked up the easy
pin!
ROH World Championship Ladder War Match!
The Conglomeration’s Mark Briscoe (c.)
vs.
“The Learning Tree” Chris Jericho!
Briscoe tossed a ladder into the ring. Briscoe grounded and
pounded Jericho, going right at Jericho, first with the
ladder, and then with the fists. Briscoe shoulder tackled
Jericho off the apron, sending Jericho crashing down through
two tables at ringside!
Briscoe chopped at Jericho, taking all his anger out on the
“Learning Tree.” Jericho blocked a suplex attempt and
countered with a snap suplex onto the arena floor. Mark
rallied back but Jericho gouged Mark in the eyes. Mark
Briscoe knocked Jericho back down, propping Jericho onto a
ladder outside the ring. Briscoe threw his body at Jericho,
but Jericho jumped out of the way!
“Unbelievable impact on that ladder!” said Daddy Magic.
Jericho went to climb a ladder in the center of the ring,
but Mark was undeterred, pulling Jericho down the rungs.
Jericho bashed Briscoe into the face of Mark Briscoe. Mark
was busted wide open!
Jericho began to climb the ladder again. A bloodied and
battered Mark Briscoe wasn’t done yet. Briscoe planted
Jericho with a Death Valley Driver onto a ladder that was
propped against the corner turnbuckles.
“This has become so deeply, deeply personal for Mark
Briscoe,” said Excalibur.
Mark climbed the turnbuckles but Jericho blindsided Mark
with a ladder shot! Mark shoved Jericho to the mat and
followed up with a senton onto Jericho! Both men traded
strikes atop the ladder. Mark Briscoe pushed the ladder with
perhaps his last surge of energy, knocking Jericho and the
ladder down!
The fans chanted “This is awesome! This is awesome!”
The ROH World title dangled high in the air while Mark and
Chris brawled beneath it. Jericho tried a running bulldog on
a ladder, but Mark countered, shoving Jericho onto the
rungs. Mark climbed to the top of the ladder, looking down
at Jericho, who was knocked across a table. “The Bad Apple”
Bryan Keith ran down to interfere, but The Conglomeration’s
Rocky Romero sprinted to the ring to even up the odds!
Mark Briscoe jumped off the top of the ladder with the
froggy bow elbow drop! Mark decimated Jericho with the Jay
Driller! Mark climbed to the top of the ladder, on the verge
of retaining, but “the Redwood” Big Bill got into the ring
and choke slammed Briscoe off the ladder and over the top
rope, through tables on the arena floor! Big Bill put
Jericho on his shoulders, assisting Jericho, and Jericho
grabbed the ROH World title!
And new ROH World Champion… “The Learning Tree” Chris
Jericho!
Tomohiro Ishii’s music began to play! Ishii walked onto the
ramp with Rocky Romero!
Rocky shouted, “He’s back!”
“Give a huge assist to Big Bill because Jericho would not
have captured that ROH World Championship without him!”
Up next: Adam Cole baybay!
Adam Cole: “Who’s ready for story time with…”
Roderick Strong and the Undisputed Kingdom interrupted!
Roddy: “Adam! Adam! We know you had to come out here last
week to get some things about MJF off your chest! We get it.
He used the Adam Cole brand to get the fans to actually care
about him. And the fact that he didn’t even check in on your
once when you were injured, but guess who did? We did.”
Mike Bennett: “In MJF’s head, he thinks this whole group was
formed because of him. But it’s been bigger than him. We
started it before him, and we’ll finish it without him.
Matt Taven: “It was never about Max. It was about us. And
some of my favorite moments, Adam, are when we’re all
together.”
Roddy: “And I want you to know how proud I am of you that
you came back after working off your ass after that injury.
As your best friend, I want Max first.”
Cole: “Roddy, you are damn right. We are going to finish
what we started, and I think we should finish it tonight. So
Max, come down here so the four of us can give you an
undisputed ass whooping.”
MJF appeared on the big screen, receiving a massage.
MJF: “Remember that revenge I promised to dangle over your
head. Greed is blinding you to the fact that you’ll never
get your hands on me. Whichever one of you wins three
consecutive matches first, I’ll give you a match at Full
Gear. But I won’t be showing up until Full Gear. I hope one
of you gets the happy ending you’re looking for because I
know I will.”
Kyle O’Reilly was watching on a monitor backstage.
Renee Paquette interviewed Jamie Hayter backstage about
Penelope Ford!
Hayter: “What she says is all BS. I never had anything
handed to me. I earned everything. Penelope, you want to
attack me from behind. But yet you’re nowhere to be found
tonight. Two weeks from tonight, Dynamite, will you be
there?”
Trios Match!
The House of Black—Malakai Black, Buddy Matthews, & Brody
King
vs.
Kevin Koa, Jaden Monroe, & Pirata De La Muerte!
Black blasted Pirata De La Muerte with The End early. Black
swept out Kevin’s legs. Buddy tagged in and stomped on Kevin
Koa’s arm. Black punted Monroe and then Brody smashed Monroe
with a senton. The three heads converged on Koa all at once
in the corner! Matthews curb stomped Monroe face first and
scored the pinfall!
“The House of Black didn’t even break a sweat,” said Tony
Schiavone.
Buddy: “Now that’s he’s cleared, next week, Buddy Matthews
against Adam Cole, baby!”
“We’ve got ourselves a challenge for next week,” said Daddy
Magic.
Renee Paquette caught up with Adam Cole and the Undisputed
Kingdom backstage!
Cole approached Buddy Matthews.
Cole: “You’ve got some sort of problem with me? Nothing else
to say? What’s the deal?”
Buddy: “To prove one point.”
Cole: “And what’s that?”
Buddy: "That you’re fragile.”
Queen Aminata
vs.
“The Brickhouse” Kamille (with TBS Champion & NJPW STRONG
Women’s Champion “The CEO” Mercedes Moné)!
Kamille cracked the Queen with a short arm lariat. Queen
Aminata rocked Kamille with a knee strike and covered
Kamille, but Kamille kicked out at the one-count. Kamille
drove down Queen Aminata with a back breaker!
Queen Aminata smashed Kamille with a running elbow strike
and then a snap neck breaker for a near fall! Mercedes
watched on from ringside, very concerned. Aminata reversed a
power bomb attempt for another near fall. Kamille hoisted up
Queen Aminata in a back breaker and then planted Aminata.
Mercedes shook her head and yelled, “Finish her!”
Kamille drove down Aminata and then pinned her!
“Next week it’ll be Kamille against Kris Statlander on
Dynamite!” said Tony Schiavone.
After the match, Kris Statlander walked down to the ring and
got into Kamille’s face! Mercedes hit Kris with a cheap shot
from behind, but Kris fought them off, two on one. Mercedes
grabbed Statlander’s leg and Kamille seized the opportunity
to strike!
An SUV pulled up backstage, and the AEW contingency thought
it was Mox and company!
It was actually Christian Cage and the Patriarchy in the
SUV. Kip Sabian was hiding between two cars when Christian
Cage and the Patriarchy spotted him and chased Kip to the
ring!
Renee Paquette approached HOOK and asked who HOOK saw on the
security footage. HOOK said it was the scumbags in the ring
who were responsible for attacking Taz.
HOOK went after The Patriarchy in the ring, but Kip Sabian
hit HOOK with a low blow until Christian Cage told Kip
Sabian to get into the corner. After Christian Cage cracked
HOOK in the back with his metal clipboard, Nick Wayne
dropped HOOK with Wayne’s World! Christian Cage spiked HOOK
with the Kill Switch on the metal clipboard case!
“Listen to me, Tyler, it’s not what it seems,” said
Christian Cage.
Trios Match!
TNT Champion “The Scapegoat” Jack Perry
& AEW World Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks—Matthew &
Nicholas Jackson
vs.
Daniel Garcia & Private Party—Isiah Kassidy & Marq Quen!
The Bucks battled Private Party inside the ring while Jack
Perry and Daniel Garcia duked it out on the arena floor.
Garcia stomped on Jack Perry. The Scapegoat gouged the eyes
of Garcia and tagged to Matthew Jackson.
Zay tagged in and both teams had a stand off! Garcia swarmed
Perry! Quen and Zay splashed Nicholas and Jack in the
turnbuckles. The Bucks blasted Zay and Garcia with
superkicks. The Elite were working in concert, in the
driver’s seat.
Stokely Hathaway was in the front row, cheering on Private
Party.
Nicholas inadvertently kicked Matthew while aiming for Zay.
Jack Perry power bombed Daniel Garcia through the
timekeeper’s table! Inside the ring, Zay was at the mercy of
the Bucks. The Bucks hit Zay with the Risky Business for a
near fall!
Marq Quen got the hot tag and cleaned house on the Elite,
taking them on three on one! The Bucks clobbered Quen with a
pair of superkicks. Perry planted Zay with a poison rana and
Nicholas covered Zay for a near fall!
The Bucks hit Zay with a stomp-power bomb combination!
Garcia swept the leg of Perry and sent him hard into the
barricade. Private Party used the Silly String on Matthew
with Zay cradling Matthew and picking up the win!
“Let’s hear it for the kids! Perseverance and determination!
What a win!” said Tony Schiavone.
Zay: “Young Bucks, I think we proved tonight that we’ve got
your number. We want a rematch for your AEW Tag Team
Championships! Wait, Young Bucks, I have an offer that you
guys will not turn down. If you give us a match for those
AEW Tag Team Championships and we lose, Private Party splits
up for good!”
Matthew: “I like that!”
Nicholas: “You’re on!”
Zay: “Say no more! Next week, Private Party versus the Young
Bucks and if we lose, Private Party is done forever!”
Marina Shafir pulled up in a truck outside the arena. The
AEW contingency looked baffled, wondering where the rest of
Moxley and his crew were.
Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta ambushed Private Party
and Daniel Garcia in the ring, whacking them with steel
chairs!
“It was a diversion!” said Tony Schiavone.
Moxley grabbed Chuck Taylor and threw Chuck into the ring!
Claudio and Wheeler stomped on Chuck. They wrapped a chair
around Chuck’s head and stomped on it! Orange ran to the
ring, but he was too late to save his friend!
“Guys, this is bad news,” said Daddy Magic.
“Look at the face of Orange Cassidy,” replied Tony
Schiavone.
“There is nothing sacred to Moxley and his crew. This is not
what professional wrestling is about,” added Excalibur.
