AEW Dynamite Discussion

The Dark Order vs The Elite:

Omega with You Can't Escape, Order blocks the Moonsault, ref's distracted by the Bucks while Order uses a knee to drive a chair into Omega's head, Tope Suicida, Nick with a Springboard Double Stomp then a Draping Lungblower, Beaver Boys with a Jawbreaker/German Suplex combo gets a near fall, Dragon Rush for both of them, V-Trigger, Meltzer Driver stopped, Beaver Boys with Stereo Tombstones, Angels with a Double Stomp, but Omega makes the save, Matt with Superkicks for the Beaver Boys, Angels with a Turnaround Moonsault but they avoid it, Elite with an Assisted IndyTaker then pass him to Omega & Omega finishes it with The One-Winged Angel for the win

After the match, Omega, pissed off, put a chair in the ring and went to powerbomb one of the Dark Order guys on it. Nick moved it out of the way at the last second. Then the Bucks talked to him to try to calm him down. Cooler heads seemed to prevail and they walked out celebrating.

Alex Marvez tells us there will be a Gauntlet tag match next week to determine who will wrestle for the AEW tag titles at ALL OUT. FTR will be in that match and he wants to know their thoughts while also knowing what their relationship with Tully Blanchard is.

Wheeler said they just want to be the best, and they’ll learn to be that with Tully. He got on and said they’re destined to be the best. They’ll win the Gauntlet match and go on to ALL OUT to win the titles.

Hangman Page came in yelling. He’s empty, so he cracks another cold one. FTR said they did what they had to do with The Elite because they came after them and that’s all that was. Hardwood says he had to see if he could trust those guys and if he could trust Page and only Page was there when he hurt his knee.

FTR started trying to sow some seeds of dissension within The Elite, bringing up The Bucks maybe winning and then maybe beating him for the titles. So, in the end, good luck to FTR.

Sammy Guevara was out next.

He was doing the flashcard promo thing.

He said he was sorry to Matt Hardy for putting him out. I’m sorry you can’t catch chairs, it said. Then, the words turned red and said “I’m sorry Sammy is an idiot. Sammy is about to be BROKEN. Consider him DELETED.” Sammy saw the change and acted surprised. That’s when he was attacked from behind with a chair by Hardy.

They did all of this, by the way, picture-in-picture while commercials were playing audio. Then they took a proper commercial break.

When they came back, Hardy was still hitting Sammy with a chair. Commentary was concerned Matt was going too far. That’s when he threw Sammy off the stage and through a table. He grabbed a chair from under the ring, just like the chair Sammy threw at him, but before he could throw it at him referees showed up and stopped it.

NWA Women’s Champion Thunder Rosa cut a promo.

She said the fans have been calling for it, in fact everyone has been calling for it, but AEW women haven’t. She’s here, though, and she’s coming for championship at ALL OUT. She wants to win the title and nothing else.

Finals of the Women's Tag Team Tournament
Ivelisse & Diamante vs The Nightmare Sisters:

Brandi with a Crucifix Pin for a 2 count, she poses very cockily, Ivelisse & Diamante with a Double Hiptoss for a 2 count, Ivelisse with a Complete Shot then a STO on Brandi for a near fall, Brandi with the Bionic Spear then Allie follows with Down the Rabbit Hole, but Ivelisse makes the save, Allie Valley Bomb blocked, QT is up on the apron, but Ivelisse takes him out, Brandi goes for a Pedigree, but Diamante backdrops her to the floor, Wheelbarrow Stunner then Ivelisse finishes Allie with The Recoil for the win

They were presented with the trophy for winning the Deadly Draw tournament and basically ignored it in favor of pulling out their respective country’s flags and waving those while celebrating together.

Excalibur is back on commentary tonight

Proud & Powerful vs Best Friends:

Friends jumps PnP during hte entrance, Trent? with a Flying Crossbody off the stage, Friends set up the steel steps, but Santana cuts him off while Ortiz chokes out Trent?, Chuck brings out 8 chairs and builds a structure with them, Santana launches a chair at Chuck, Santana was looking for an Alley-Oop, but Chuck blocks, he looks to send Santana through the chair tower, but Santana reverses and sends Chuck through it, Trent? is in the ring with PnP and the match officially begins

Santana with a Draping Gourdbuster, PnP with a Double Suplex for a 2 count, Trent? with a Dudebuster DDT on Ortiz then a Tope Suicida, he tries another, but Santana leapfrogs over Trent? & he hits the guardrail, Chuck with a Tope con Hilo wipes out both PnP, back in the ring, Sole Food on Ortiz then a Falcon Arrow gets a near fall, Sunset Flip on Santana gets a near fall, Trent? with The Ever-Lasting Gobstopper, he charges, but Santana avoids and he knocks Trent? to the steps, PnP look for The Street Sweeper, but Trent? counters into Crunchy!, but Santana puts Ortiz hand on the rope, Ortiz distracts the ref, Santana slams a steel baton into Trent?'s back and then PnP finish him with The Street Sweeper for the win

MJF is backstage when one of his entourage tells him that his lawyer, “Smart” Mark Sterling, has locked himself in his locker room. He says he’s found a way out of this, and Wardlow kicks his door down and pulls him out. MJF gets in Sterling’s face and says he’s done whatever it takes his entire life to become a champion, and he knows he’s afraid of Jon Moxley, but there’s nothing scarier than being in a position to get in the way of his gold.

When men get in the way of his gold, bad things happen to them. Option one, you get in the ring, option two, you get in a fucking wood chipper. So the choice is his, which one does he want to deal with tonight?

Backstage with Tully Blanchard and FTR.

Tully tells them Saturday is their chance, and they talk about how important this match is to them and on Saturday night, you will fear the revelation— top guys, out.

Tony Schiavone introduces Kenny Omega for an interview on the stage.

Kenny says everyone makes mistakes, and this is something “Hangman” Adam Page is going to have to live with for the rest of his life, and FTR have the title shot on Saturday. Page got taken by them and fooled, these things happen, we learn and we move on, but like every other tag team before them, they’ll defeat them.

He hopes FTR bring their A game, because he knows he and Adam will bring theirs.

Enter FTR and Tully, carrying a cooler.

FTR say the tag champs have had a great, impressive run as two singles guys becoming tag champs, and they’ve never had a problem with him. In fact, at All Out, they’re looking forward to having a great contest and blowing everybody’s expectations. So he wants to toast to that, and they have a chocolate milk for Omega.

Kenny says they’ve known each other three months and they know he can’t turn down a delicious chocolate milk, but he can turn down spending time with dickheads like them. If they came down here to bamboozle him, they might as well get it over with. By his count it’s two vs. one, or three with Tully, and sure he might lose, but he’ll get some good shots in.

But do him a favor, keep the old man away from him because he can smell his Depends from here.

Enter “Hangman” Adam Page.

FTR call him down, calling him the cowboy hero that they’ve been waiting to hear from, and asking him to explain who got into his head and made him turn on his best friends, because it wasn’t them, or anybody, it was Page himself. Kenny’s known Page for four or five years, but FTR have known him his whole career, and they know he’s just an insecure little boy.

So tell ‘em, Page, how you’re so egotistical, admit how big of a piece of shit you are. Kenny holds ‘em back and tries to reassure him as FTR take the tag titles. Hangman demands them back and FTR drop the belts at his feet before leaving the ring. Adam goes to hand Omega his belt, but he’s out of the ring.

Chris Jericho is interviewed backstage.

He asks when the last time the interviewer experienced something for the first time and knew he wouldn’t likely experience it again, and says that’s the Mimosa Mayhem match, the culmination of fourteen weeks between him and Orange Cassidy, and he’s made him a better man and shown every facet of him as a pro wrestler.

On Sunday he’s gonna hit him in the face with Judas Effect, make him tap with the Walls of Jericho, and then dump him in the vat of mimosa and drown his hopes and dreams in a little bit of the bubbly. And god help Joey Janela, because he’s giving him a little taste of that right in front of Orange.

Matt Hardy is standing on high and doing “DELETE!” at Sammy Guevara.

Team Taz make their entrance.

Taz gets on the mic and says one of his two boys is winning the Casino Battle Royal. He says Darby Allin is dead meat and asks who Lance Archer ever beat, saying he can’t deal with the Machine.

Jake “the Snake” Roberts makes his entrance with Lance Archer and says tit for tat, you interrupt him and he’ll interrupt you.

Taz and his boys are a bunch of squirrels in search of a nut, and they’re gonna walk out with nothing on Saturday. What he sees here is the best set of losers he’s ever seen.

Eddie Kingston and his boys come out.

Eddie says the show’s live, they’ve gotta hurry up and there’s been enough talking. Lance is big and tough, he ain’t tougher than The Last of a Dying Breed. Taz used to be around killers and now he’s around big for nothing machines, and then you got—

Tully Blanchard and Shawn Spears walk by on the stage.

Kingston says he doesn’t know whether to take Ricky Starks on a date or fight him, which gets Taz to say his boys’ll fight any of ‘em!

Everything breaks down into chaos, Billy Gunn joins the fray, Darby Allin comes out and goes right after Starks! More men enter the fray as the brawl continues, including Santana, Ortiz, and Hager, as well as Best Friends!

Everyone brawls at length

Big Swole is interviewed at ringside.

She says Britt Baker has been ducking and dodging for the longest time, and this changes this weekend, because at the Buy-In, she’ll have no place to hide, because she’s gonna show up at her job and they’re gonna fight tooth and nail.

Rebel rolls up with a pizza and it’s a fakeout to let a healed Dr. Britt Baker, DMD attack Swole! She puts her into the pizza and puts Lockjaw on!
