AEW Dynamite Houston, Texas
The commentators are Bryan Danielson and Excalibur.
– Tonight is AEW Dynamite, the show starts with a video from last Wednesday at Dynamite when Adam Page attacked Samoa Joe dressed as Tony Schiavone.
– Tony Schiavone is in the ring and says they have a big news tonight for Full Gear and it’s a new National Championship. They just want to talk about it and present it… Samoa Joe’s music cuts Schiavone. Samoa Joe arrives with his clan The Opps. Joe says we have a problem. There’s a term he’s heard a lot in the business and it applies to the man in the ring. Joe says he knows Schiavone is going to say he had nothing to do with last week’s events, but he has a hard time believing him. Schiavone says he has respect for Joe and The Opps. Joe says he will explain to him what awaits him. There are consequences for our decisions and the consequences are coming for Schiavone tonight.
The Opps surround Schiavone, but security guards arrive to protect him. Joe says it’s sweet, but it’s just more people who are going to get hurt. Adam Page’s music starts and he enters the ring! The Opps flees ringside. Joe says it’s even better because they can solve two problems in one. The Opps want to get back in the ring, but Hook and Eddie Kingston arrive. The Opps flees for good. Adam Page says the man Samoa Joe is looking for is right here and he can beat his problems without worry. Hook says they are the Trios champions, why not defend the titles against them tonight ? Joe says they want it that way, they’ll do it! Schiavone confirms the match.

– Backstage, Renee Paquette is with Mark Briscoe and Fyle Fletcher with Don Callis since Briscoe wants to speak. Briscoe says he challenged Fletcher for a TNT title match two weeks ago. He received a response from Don Callis, but he wants a response directly from Fletcher. At WrestleDream, Fletcher secured the victory with a below-the-belt punch, certainly not a satisfying victory. He wants to forget the blow below the belt and have a rematch without disqualification at Full Gear. Fletcher says he likes the idea. Callis says if Briscoe wins he will become TNT champion, that’s a great gift. But he also wants something. Briscoe asks if he wants his career. Callis says he likes Briscoe as a wrestler, he doesn’t want that. If Briscoe loses at Full Gear, he will have to join the Don Callis Family and abandon the Conglomeration forever ! Briscoe says he accepts because he’s not going to lose at Full Gear!
– Back after the break, backstage, Renee Paquette is with the Young Bucks and Josh Alexander with Don Callis to get their commentary on the million dollar match at Full Gear and to find out if the Bucks have officially joined the Family. Callis says there’s no need to put pressure on the Bucks. He saw AEW treat the Bucks like jobbers, but the Bucks deserve star treatment even if it drains his wallet. So the Bucks are in Family by default. The rest of the Callis Family arrives to greet them. Matt Jackson says they need some time to think. Okada warns them not to take too long.

Cameron takes the tag, but Athena lifts Cameron and Willow to do a Double Fallaway Slam and cover Cameron, but she resists! Billie Starkz arrives at ringside and demands the ROH Championship to pass it to Athena. Kris Statlander arrives and attacks Starkz ringside! Statlander chases Moné to ringside. Willow takes the opportunity to Powerbomb Athena and Cameron completes with a Neck Breaker for the three count.

– Back, Tony Schiavone is back in the ring for the big newz. At Full Gear, there will be a Casino Gauntlet Match and the winner will take home the first AEW National Championship. It’s been almost 40 years since there was a Natinoal title on TNT and this one will make its return. Schiavone introduces the Hurt Syndicate to come and talk about it since they are going to participate in the match. MVP says they are the most important in a room. MVP says there have been great champions in the past who have defended this title. But who is more iconic than Bobby Lashley? Who is better than the standard of excellence Shelton Benjamin? Lashley and Benjamin are officially in the match. Schiavone asks what will happen if Lashley and Benjamin meet in the ring. MVP says they are businessmen, in the end the Hurt Syndicate will win, but so will the AEW fans. Ricochet’s music starts and he arrives with his clan.
Ricochet says we all know Ricochet takes credit where it belongs. They also want to give credit to the Hurt Syndicate. No matter how old they are, they still come to his ring and now to talk about a championship. He admires the Hurt Syndicate for doing this at their age. Ricochet says every time he speaks he says facts. He’s going to make sure the three idiots don’t win another title here. MVP says no one cares about Ricochet’s opinion. The only thing Ricochet does good is get his ass kicked by them. Ricochet says that at Full Gear it is Ricochet who will emerge from the match as the first AEW National Champion.
– Behind the scenes, we find Jurassic Express. Jack Perry says a million dollars is a lot, but friendship is more important. He knows the Bucks are having trouble right now, so here’s $100 for them. Perry leaves a note stuck in a knife in front of the Bucks dressing room.
Avantage Blood and Guts – Singles Match

– After the fight, Pac returns to the ring to attack Allin. Orange Cassidy arrives to help, but Wheeler Yuta arrives to stop him. Roderick Strong and Kyle O’Reilly arrive, but Jon Moxley tags in so the Death Riders can maintain control. The Conglomeration finally manages to push the Death Riders from the ring.
– Back, Tony Schiavone presents FTR who arrives in the ring. Cash Wheeler says that last week on Dynamite they won a 4-Way Match to become contenders for the tag team titles. The fact is that they should be three-time champions since Forbidden Door London, but Brodido took that chance away from them. Now they would like to speak to them in person to resolve this matter. The music of Brody King and Bandido starts, but no one arrives.
Backstage, Renee Paquette discovers that Stokely Hathaway has locked Brodido in their dressing room.
Dax Harwood says it’s a shame he can’t talk to them. But luckily, Bandido’s family is ringside tonight. FTR will greet Bandido’s grandmother, sister and brother at ringside. Harwood said he thought it was beautiful to see the grandmother come and support her grandson. But how old is she? Harwood takes the microphone away from him before responding. Harwood says if he has to guess, it’s close to the Day of the Dead that was just celebrated in Mexico. Harwood offers to adopt him if Bandido ends up injured forever. Bandido’s brother begins to attack FTR ringside, but they are two against one. FTR takes control. Brody King and Bandido manage to break down their dressing room door and escape.
