AEW Dynamite Results: A Deep Dive

The show opened with Renee Paquette interviewing Jay White. White discussed the ongoing tension with The Death Riders and his growing reliance on the Rated FTR stable. This illegal challenge between Moxley’s rivals and The Death Riders culminated in a brawl that drew in Claudio Castagnoli and Adam Copeland, protecting Jon Moxley.

Adam Copeland was vehement about facing Chris Copeland at Revolution, only for Jon Moxley to reject the challenge flat out. In a strategic move, Jay White announced a Brisbane Street Fight against Moxley and Castagnoli at Grand Slam, aligning forces with Chris Copeland.

Adam Copeland also announced an impending Continental Championship match against Buddy Matthews at Grand Slam.

Will Ospreay vs. Mark Davis: A Plot Twist

Will Ospreay clashed with Mark Davis as a member of The Don Callis Family. Ospreay emerged victorious with The Hidden Blade, scoring a pinfall win. Following the match, Ospreay brought Kenny Omega to the ring, leading to a confrontation with Don Callis. Omega threatened a return embarrassment in Australia, setting the stage for a potential crossover event.

Grade: A

The Ospreay vs. Davis match was a standout, but the transition into Kenny Omega’s involvement felt a bit rushed, showing a disjointed storyline progression.

The Hurt Syndicate vs. Gunn Club: An Open Challenge

The Hurt Syndicate laid a challenge to the roster, specifically targeting the AEW World Tag Team Titles, which fueled a rise from the Gunn Club. MVP of The Hurt Syndicate welcomed the challenge, looking forward to a showdown at the next Dynamite event.

Hangman Page: A Man in Conflict

Hangman Page spoke with Renee Paquette about his recent past, including his pursuit of Swerve Strickland and his endgame with Christopher Daniel. Page’s responses were mixed, as he reflected on both the good and the not-so-good decisions.

Max Caster’s interference only intensified the segment, highlighting the chaos and unpredictability of AEW Dynamite.

The Hounds of Hell vs. Kyle Fletcher and Konosuke Takeshita: A Match for The Ages

In a thrilling bout, The Hounds of Hell faced Kyle Fletcher and Konosuke Takeshita in a tightly contested match. After an impressive exchange of moves, Fletcher and Takeshita emerged victorious with a double-team brainbuster.

Grade: A-

While the match was fantastic, the clean pinfall for Fletcher and Takeshita seemed a bit abrupt, slightly detracting from the overall prestige of The Hounds of Hell.

A Message to The Patriarchy: A Behind-the-Scenes Assault

Samoa Joe and HOOK infiltrated The Patriarchy’s locker room, bagging Kip Sabian and Nick Wayne before Mother Wayne could get a word in edgewise. This segment effectively highlighted the ongoing feud between different factions.

Mariah May’s Persona: A Masterful Performance

Grade: A

The Mariah May placeholder for Toni Storm was sensational, highlighting her versatility as a wrestler.

The New York Minute: Chaos Ensues

The Learning Tree’s Chris Jericho challenged Bandido to an event on Collision, with a significant monetary bounty attached. The segment was interrupted by a brawl between Powerhouse Hobbs and The Outrunners, creating a chaotic environment.
