Brodie likes what he sees as Five brings Johnson up. Five feeds Johnson to Number Ten’s BOOT!

The Dark Order’s Numbers are growing, will they help The Exalted One take over AEW?

Proud ‘n’ Powerful VS Brady Pierce & Musa!

QT Marshall is very excited.

He can’t wait to show everyone. They’re going to love it just like he loves it. He finds Dustin and Brandi and asks if they heard about what’s up. About the match? Oh, right, the match tonight. Yeah, it isn’t a tag team match, it’s a singles match for QT. Why? Allie explained that Dustin is a legend, he doesn’t need to wrestle every night. But Dustin got all painted up. Well, yeah, but it’s even better! Allie made some NEW Natural Nightmare shirts, so here they are! It has QT looking like a giant and the others looking like hobbits. Not to mention, the sizes are way off. Who da f this for?! But Allie worked really hard on those. Just be supportive of QT and Allie, okay? QT heads out to prepare for his match, but Dustin just doesn’t understand. Is Allie becoming a nightmare for the Natural Nightmares?

QT Marshall w/ Allie, Brandi & Dustin Rhodes VS Zack Clayton!

The Bunny has the heart and the ear of God’s Gift to Wrestling, and it’s getting on his team’s nerves. Will QT’s star quality continue to rise? Or will “Zack Clayton™️” make his mark on AEW?

Kaz and Scorpio won in their match, but can SCU complete the sweep? Or will the Concrete Rose prove to be too tough for even the Fallen Angel?

SCU wins again but Kiss gave Daniels quite the fight! Is this a sign of the next generation rising up? Or does the old Ring General still have some fight left in him?

Jurassic Express VS Brandon Cutler & Peter Avalon w/ Leva Bates!

Jungle Boy fell short of becoming the second-ever TNT Champion against Cody Rhodes, but it was an inspiring fight. Will it help Luchasaurus and Marko Stunt get a win for the trio? Or is this finally the night the Dungeon Master and Librarian remove the goose eggs from their win columns?

As for Cutler and Avalon, they were so close yet still so far. Are they close to that breakthrough into the win column? Or must they start from square one?

Jon Moxley VS Robert Anthony!

Fyter Fest is coming, and The Maniac will cross paths with The Machine, Brian Cage. But for tonight, Mox will see if he can humble Egotistico Fantastico tonight?

But before either competitor comes out, Brian Cage comes out to join Excalibur and his mentor, Taz, on commentary! He wants to see Moxley fight with his own eyes, but will he keep it at watching?

Winner: Jon Moxley, by submission

The Maniac wins, but the Machine and his mastermind are not impressed. If Egotistico Fantastico gave Moxley that much of a fight, will it be a cake walk for the Path of Cage to become the NEW AEW World Champion?

My Thoughts:

AEW continues to put a lot into Dark these days, and that’s actually a good thing. Granted, the matches still went as expected, there was a lot of good story being told tonight, too. It almost felt like this truly was the third hour for (last week’s) Dynamite. SCU wins out, but with Christopher Daniels and Sonny Kiss giving us the stronger match. Daniels’ story since his last days in ROH were about if he’s “still got it,” and it really helps give the newer, younger talent a chance to shine. I really hope at some point, Daniels challenges Cody for that TNT Championship for those stories to collide. Both men fighting to prove they’re still worthy of something will really get a crowd going, both live and watching at home.

I am shocked that Alan Angels joined The Dark Order, but it is a great twist for a guy that AEW clearly sees something in. Angels/Number Five and Lee Johnson had a really good match, and I almost thought Johnson was going to win so that Brodie Lee would wallop both him and Angels to teach the others a lesson. But instead, Five finds a way to win, and then Johnson just becomes the punching bag for the entire faction. We have the majority of the Dark Order henchmen sorted out, but I’m not sure if we’ve seen a Number Six or Seven. Colt Cabana’s story with The Dark Order has yet to sort out, so maybe he becomes one of the missing numbers? Though I feel like AEW should’ve kept an important number like Ten or Seven in mind just in case that happened.

Proud ‘n’ Powerful and Butcher & Blade get very good wins that help keep them strong in the Tag Division, and especially towards stories. I’m pretty sure FTR beats Butcher & Blade but it should be quite the match. Allie continues to ignore her relationship with Butcher & Blade, but her plan is clearly to break The Natural Nightmares up. I would hope it’s to then break QT’s heart as she returns to being The Bunny, because I would hope AEW isn’t the kind to drop stories like WWE has done.

The last two matches of the night were incredible! Jurassic Express, Cutler and Avalon had a great showing, and for just a moment it seemed like Cutler and Avalon could’ve pulled it off. This can still go the way of Cutler and Avalon facing each other at Fyter Fest so that one of them finally wins. But at the same time, it came very close to suggesting these two could try to be a genuine tag team. I’m still personally hoping for the former. And then Moxley VS Anthony was a really good main event, but I loved Taz on commentary and how he was rightfully unimpressed. As AEW World Champion, Moxley toying with Anthony almost cost him, but it sure raised Anthony’s stock. I hope Taz brings this up on Dynamite to really dig at Moxley, accompanied by Cage dominating Anthony in a match of their own, to have a direct comparison.

My Score: 8.4/10

PLAY BY PLAY

Swerve Strickland is here!

Prince Nana again leads the way as the NEW AEW World Champion makes his way out here. The Realest opened Dynamite with a win, but he walks back out to Daily’s Place to stand in the ring to finally acknowledge his victory at Dynasty. Nana says, “Ladies and gentlemen, the man standing in front of you today is the Boss of Bosses! The man standing in front of you today is the Anointed One in Professional Wrestling! The man standing in front of you is one hell of a wrestler. And he’s none other than the AEW World Heavyweight Champion, Swerve Strickland!” The fans cheer and chant, “Thank You, Swerve!”

Swerve says what a week we’ve had here in AEW! Let’s run it down: a NEW TBS Champion in Willow Nightingale; by the grace of God, Adam Cole can walk; Adam Copeland got misted in the face by The House of Black; Will Ospreay and Bryan Danielson tore the house down; and then… Jack Perry returned. The fans boo but Swerve says Jack’s back in AEW, and he struck Tony Khan, the founder of AEW, who put his faith in Swerve. On top of that, The EVPs, the Young Bucks are again the AEW World Tag Team Champions, and they hit Tony Khan with the whatever it is driver, and now TK is in a neck brace and who knows when we’ll see him in healthy condition.

Now, Swerve will be the first to tell everyone, he’s done some horrible things. Once, twice, three, four times. But something about four elite athletes beating down a non-fighter in TK, that sounds like a b*tch move to him. The fans echo “B*TCH MOVE!” but Swerve wants to get to business. The most important thing that happened this week is Swerve went into Dynasty and he made history by dethroning Samoa Joe and becoming the NEW AEW World Champion! Now, a pet peeve of his is those going around calling themselves “Best in the World.” But make no mistake, the Best in the World is the one holding this title right here!

Last week, it was Samoa Joe. This week, it’s Swerve, baby. And Swerve got here by fighting, but also by making sacrifices. Swerve says the night he won this title, he went to his daughter. She said, “Dad, I love you, I’m so proud of you. But I feel like I just don’t know you.” That hit Swerve to his core. His relationship with his children is everything. But he’s missed birthdays, holidays, basketball games, dance recitals, Father-Daughter dances, and he can’t make up for lost time. But what he can do is set the example and blaze a trail, to make sure this was all worth it. The fans cheer that!

Swerve continues by saying AEW has set people in front of him and he’s knocked them all down! Kyle Fletcher was just one. Now, how about an Open Challenge for the AEW World Championship? But only to someone who really wants to fight! So how about it, Jacksonville? We’re entering a new era in AEW, the Dynasty Era! And the elite of that era is whose house? “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” But then here comes Claudio Castagnoli! The Swiss Superman is in a suit, not his gear, but he does get in the ring. Claudio circles Swerve, then takes the mic and holds up a finger. The fans still chant, but Claudio says, “You’re on.”

Swerve says see you later tonight then, in whose house? But then Claudio snatches the mic again! “It’s gonna be mine.” The fans are intrigued but Claudio is looking to end Swerve’s Dynasty the same week it started! Will the Swiss Superman bring even more gold to the Blackpool Combat Club?

Tony Khan has a medical update.

He is feeling grateful and blessed that he can still walk, talk and work, as was seen during the NFL Draft with Tony Khan alongside his father, Shahid, in the Jacksonville Jaguars war room. However, the doctors have advised TK not to travel, so he will be monitoring AEW Dynamite in Winnipeg remotely. Will that mean The EVPs will be in control of things in person this Wednesday…?

Unified AEW & ROH World Trios Championships: Bullet Club Gold VS Top Flight!

Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy.

Arkady Aura says Freshly Squeezed was attacked by #JustTrent last Dynamite, and that ultimately forced Chuck Taylor’s hand in choosing sides.

But what is on his mind most now is that later tonight on Rampage, those two are fighting in a Parking Lot Brawl. Cassidy is afraid of what Trent and Chuck are going to do to each other.

Backstage interview with Serena Deeb.

ArkadyAura is now with The Professor of Professional Wrestling, and says that Deeb came out to touch the AEW Women’s World Championship. What message is Deeb looking to send? Deeb says it’s a very simple one. On one hand, we have the great champion, Toni Storm, someone everyone loves, and one of the greatest champions in this company’s history. On the other, we have the undefeated Professor, the obvious #1 contender. After everything Deeb’s been through, how hard she had to fight to get back here, failure is not an option. It is now or never!

And after four years of being told how great she is, and how she SHOULD be champion, it is time to prove it.

Backstage interview with Katsuyori Shibata.

Arkady is now with The Wrestler, and she brings up the issues with Shane Taylor Promotions. But at the same time, he is going to be challenging Chris Jericho for the FTW Championship. Any last words before that match? Shibata uses his Google Translate voice-to-text to “say” that he is going to chop down The Learning Tree and take Jericho’s title. And any plans for Shane Taylor? Shibata “says,” Rampage will see him take on STP alone. But then Daniel Garcia steps in. Garcia tells Shibata-san that he has respect for him. If Shibata needs help against STP, Garcia will help him. What does he say?

Shibata takes a moment to type it out, and says okay. Save the last dance for him. Garcia nods and dances his way off screen. Will the Dragonslayer help The Wrestler take the fight to Big Bad Shaney T. Boy?
