Renee Paquette welcomes us to the show.
She says AEW Dynamite is live from the heart of Chicago, Illinois, with an incredible show lined up. With that said, welcome the man who is quickly becoming the backbone of AEW, Daniel Garcia. Matthew Menard is with Garcia and fired up for him. Renee says tonight is huge for Garcia, as he could become the NEW International Champion, if he defeats Will Ospreay. How much pressure is he feeling? Garcia says he knows pressure, he and Menard are no strangers to it. They felt pressure from the first day they stepped into AEW together. But he’d be lying if he said this was anything but the most important night in his career.
Garcia tells Ospreay that he respects everything about Ospreay. Garcia respects Ospreay’s work, his motivation, and what he wants to do for AEW. But Garcia made a promise to himself and everyone around him, that he is not losing this. He puts that on his mother’s life, he promises that. And then MJF steps in! MJF applauds and says that is the winning attitude right there that will beat Will Ospreay. Garcia says he just wanted to ask MJF what MJF asked him, their match at All In Wembley. MJF says no, brother, hold on. Focus on one thing at a time. Tonight is about Garcia winning in the main event.
But MJF does have another question. He wants to be in Garcia’s corner. How does that sound? Garcia says he’ll see MJF out there! Garcia and MJF fist bump and then Garcia heads out. Menard tells MJF that he was wary of MJF still. But after everything MJF’s done for Garcia, MJF is alright by him. Menard and MJF shake on it and they both head out, will they both be there for Garcia’s big moment?

Backstage interview with Willow Nightingale.
Renee is with the 2023 Queen of Harts and says she is moments away from another Women’s Owen Hart Cup match. However, this is more than that, as she is facing her former best friend, Kris Statlander. This grudge match leads to the finals of the 2024 Women’s Owen Hart Cup, what is going through Willow’s mind right now? Willow reminds us of her catchphrase, “Nothing Matters, Smile Anyway.” She says it all the time, it is her mantra. She doesn’t just say it cuz it looks good on a shirt. It does, but that’s not the point. Willow lives by those words. Life can be so miserable, and Willow could just curl up into a ball and cry herself to sleep if she didn’t look on the bright side.
That catchphrase is the only real defense she has against this world that is full of pain and suffering. Willow does that for herself and for her fans. But Kris Statlander, Stokely Hathaway… Those two mock Willow because they don’t know anything about that, so they just laugh at Willow. Because that saying is for all the hard working people who never get any bit of appreciation. That saying is for Willow’s real friends. For the one fighting through depression, has the devil in his bloodstream, but is fighting and looking for light day after day just to make it to the next day.
That saying is for the little girl who wanted to become one of the best pro-wrestlers in the world. Sure, she got knocked down, but she got back up again. She may have lost her beloved TBS Championship, but she gave it the fight of her life! And so now opportunity is in front of her, and she will kick down that door and become the first-ever TWO TIME Owen Hart Cup winner! And she’ll go to Wembley and become the AEW Women’s World Champion! Willow is heading to the ring, she’ll kick Kris’ butt, and then make it all happen! Why? Because nothing matters, so smile anyway!
The Babe with the Power has that fire inside, will she use it to burn down the Galaxy’s Greatest Traitor?
Mark Briscoe is here!
The ROH World Champion asks Chicago, “What’s going on, baby? Now I come here tonight representing the baddest tag team this planet has ever seen, The Briscoe Brothers, AKA Dem Boys!” The fans cheer that, and chant for “DEM BOYS! DEM BOYS!” Mark continues to say that he is “Chicken,” but don’t get it twisted. He ain’t scared o’ s*it! Now, last week, Mark was within inches of becoming TNT Champion, but Jack Perry must’ve ate an extra bowl of Lucky Charms, and then shoved a horseshoe up his ass! Jack came out victorious at Forbidden Door. But that was last week! Mark ain’t worried about last week! He’s worried about this week, dammit!
And this week, is SHARK WEEK! The fans cheer that, and Mark says when he thinks of sharks, he thinks of blood. And when he thinks of blood, he thinks of Blood & Guts! And when he thinks of Blood & Guts, he thinks of three weeks from tonight, July 24th in Nashville, Tennessee! Team AEW VS The Elite! And right here, right now, Mark declares himself part of Team AEW! The fans love that! Mark says those boys don’t know what violence is! They don’t know what Blood & Guts is! But wait! Jack Perry slides in from outta nowhere to CLOBBER Mark with the TNT title! The fans boo as The Scapegoat stands tall over Chicken!
Kyle O’Reilly runs in outta nowhere, and he KICKS Jack down! Kyle fires off forearms on Jack in a corner, and the fans are thunderous! But then here comes Kazuchika Okada! He drags Kyle away from Jack, to ripcord and RAINMAKER!! The fans boo as Okada grins. Then Okada and Jack start beating down on Kyle and Mark, and then The Young Bucks walk out here, applauding their teammates while soaking up the heat. Matthew & Nicholas then sit Mark up for an E V P TRIGGER!! The AEW World Tag Team Champions stand tall alongside the TNT and Continental Champions, but then here comes The Acclaimed!
The fans fire up as Max Caster, Anthony Bowens & Billy Gunn run off The Elite! The Elite run away now that things aren’t 4v2! But with Blood & Guts on the horizon, will four more men step up to put The Elite in their place?
Backstage interview with Toni Storm, Mariah May & Luther.
Renee is now with the AEW Women’s World Champion, her protege and her butler, and congratulates them on their big wins at Forbidden Door. Storm says yes, and congrats to Renee on, uh, being there that night. Renee brings up that on Rampage, it will be Mariah May VS Hikaru Shida in the Women’s Owen Hart Cup semifinals, and Shida is very confident. How is Mariah feeling? Mariah is about to speak but Storm tells her to be ready. Shida is dangerous! The last person Storm would want to face. If Mariah loses, Storm will still love her.
But remember one thing: You are Storm’s Mariah May! Storm will be in Mariah’s corner, and Mina Shirakawa watching via satellite. Mariah will digest thunder and defecate lightning, there is nothing that can stop her! Renee wants to point out that if Mariah wins the whole tournament- Storm says baby steps, Renee, baby steps. And this baby is gonna step all over Shida! Now go ahead, say the line. Mariah looks to camera and says chin up, tits out, and watch for the SHOE~! Storm says “That’s my girl!” They hug, but Luther is getting a headache. Will Mariah make Storm proud by taking down the Shining Samurai? Or will Shida flip the script on their little story?
2024 Women’s Owen Hart Cup Semifinal: Willow Nightingale VS Kris Statlander!
We heard from the Babe with the Power, and now she’s gonna put her money where her smile is! Will she avenge herself from that betrayal months ago? Or will the Galaxy’s Greatest Traitor just add insult to injury?
As Willow makes her entrance, Kris runs up the ramp! They brawl, the fans fire up, and then Kris ROCKS Willow! Kris swings, Willow dodges, and she comes back to POUNCE~! Kris tumbles all the way down the ramp and back to ringside! The fans are thunderous, Stokely is freaking out, but Willow storms right down after Kris. Willow stands Kris up to SMACK her off the apron again and again and again! The fans are loving it but the ref wants this in the ring. Willow brings Kris around, and she snap suplexes Kris to the floor! Willow stalks Kris as she crawls away, and she puts Kris in the ring. Willow follows, and now the bell rings!
Willow pushes Kris down and covers, TWO! Willow stands Kris up to ROCK her, CLUB her, then CHOP her! Kris falls over, the fans rally for Willow as she SMACKS Kris off buckles again and again and again! Willow roars, the fans fire up, and she brings Kris up, but Kris CLAWS eyes! Kris goes up and up and FLYING BACK ELBOWS! Kris seethes, stands up again, and the fans duel as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Kris fires off on Willow in a corner, CHOPS her, then huffs ‘n’ puffs as she stalks Willow to another corner. Kris throws Willow into a corner, fires off forearms, then snapmares to KICK Willow in the back! Cover, TWO! Willow toughs it out but Kris stalks her. Kris gets Willow up, Willow fires body shots, but Kris CLUBS Willow down! Willow goes to ropes, Kris brings her around to bump off buckles. Kris digs her boot in, the ref counts, but Kris lets off to CHOP! Kris whips corner to corner hard, and Willow falls to the mat! Kris soaks up the heat, drags Willow back up, and whips her hard into another corner!
Willow falls over again, but Kris stands her right back up. Kris whips Willow into yet another corner, but Willow comes back to LARIAT! Kris stands, into another LARIAT! And another LARIAT! Willow scoops, Kris slips free and ROUNDHOUSES Willow down! Cover, TWO! Kris is frustrated but she clamps onto Willow with a headscissor squeeze. Willow endures, fights around, but Kris shifts into a SLEEPER! Willow endures, even as Kris keeps her from ropes. Kris goes for body scissors but Willow pushes back to a cover! TWO!! Kris lets go in time, but she HAMMERS away on Willow’s neck and shoulders!
Kris goes back to the SLEEPER! Willow fights up, snapmares free, and CHOPS Kris right down! Kris goes to a corner, Willow roars and runs in to BACK BODY BLCOK! Beach Break returns to single picture as Willow fires point-blank LARIAT after LARIAT! Willow snapmares Kris, runs up and BOOTS her! The fans fire up with Willow and she hauls Kris up. Willow whips, Kris reverses but Willow reverses back! Kris ends up on the apron, Willow storms after her, but Kris HOTSHOTS her! Kris then drags Willow to the apron, SLAPS her, but that pisses Willow off! Willow ROCKS Kris with forearm after forearm, but Kris gets around her!
Kris waistlocks but Willow holds ropes! The fans fire up as Willow throws elbows. Kris lets go and falls to the floor! Stoke panics again but Willow grits her teeth. Willow then smiles, because Stoke better move! CANNONBALL onto Kris! The fans fire up and Willow puts Kris in. Willow goes up, and then MISSILE DROPKICKS! Willow then runs up to LARIAT Kris inside-out! Cover, TWO!! Kris survives and Stokely is relieved. Stoke is even thanking God for the miracle! Willow hauls Kris up but Kris fights the gut wrench!

Willow has her saying, but it seems the phrase, “Cheaters Never Prosper” is also true! The 2023 Queen of Harts is back in the finals, will she finish strong by becoming a back-to-back Owen Hart Cup winner?
Backstage interview with Team Triple J.
Renee is now with Jeff Jarrett, Karen Jarrett, Satnam Singh, Sonjay Dutt & Jay Lethal. Renee says this is already an emotionally charged match for Double J, but she also notes the added pressure of not even knowing who his opponent is tonight. How has Jarrett prepared? Jarrett doesn’t answer, he just heads out. Karen & Satnam go with Jeff, and Lethal says that the important thing is, Jarrett has never been more prepared for anything in his entire life. That is because tonight is about more than just a match for Jarrett. Tonight is about honoring one of his best friends ever in Owen Hart. Will the Last Outlaw be able to do just that, no matter who is dealt as the Wild Card?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
He welcomes us back to Dynamite: Beach Break, and he says there’s a reason AEW keeps coming back to Chicago. That is because some of the best wrestling fans are right here in the Windy City. The fans cheer that! Schiavone now welcomes back to Dynamite, the one and only Dr. Britt Baker, DMD! The fans cheer as the former AEW Women’s World Champion makes her way out to the ring, after surprising everyone by showing up at Forbidden Door. Britt and Schiavone hug for their reunion, and then Schiavone lets Britt have the mic and the ring to herself. The fans chant “Welcome Back!” and “D M D!” for Britt.
Britt says damn, she missed the fans. She thought way too long and way too hard about what she was going to say her first time back, but then she told herself, “Britt, shut the hell up, stop thinking.” So she’ll just talk to us if that’s okay. The fans cheer that! Britt wants to talk about three things we all have in life: a past, a present and a future. The past is our lesson. The present is our gift. And our future is our motivation. Let’s start with the past. For the last ten months, Britt is sure many have wondered where she’s been. And any time that question was asked, the answer was: “She’s injured.” Well, yeah.
But Britt knows the fans know her, and that it’d take more than something like a couple herniated disks and torn hip labrum to keep her from AEW. But back in November, Britt was physically banged up, sure. And mentally, she was running on empty. But every time she looked in the mirror, she said, “I’m good.” Until one day, she wasn’t. Because one day, she started feeling really sick. And the room was spinning. Her vision was blurry. And her right arm was tingling and numb, it just didn’t feel right. Britt kept saying she was good. She tried opening a bottle of water, and she couldn’t. Her entire right side just stopped working.
To sum it all up, Britt spent a week in the hospital with the diagnosis of a TIA: Transient Ischemic Attack. The doctors explained that it meant her brain was not getting enough blood for that moment, and that is a major warming sign for a stroke, to the point that those are nicknamed, “Ministrokes.” And in that moment, Britt realized she is NOT good. She told Tony Khan she had to stay home, get herself right, and TK said okay, just let him know when she’s good. The fans cheer that, and Britt now jumps to the present. She is here, she is cleared and she is healthy. But…! She has to be honest, in her entire wrestling career, she was never more nervous than Sunday night, Forbidden Door.
And why was that? All she did was stand on the ramp, right? But… She was never more unsure of herself. She never doubted herself more, because she wasn’t sure anyone was gonna give a damn. The fans cheer and say “We love you, Britt!” Britt says that cheering is because they’ve all felt that. They all know the fear of rejection. It is irrational at times, but it is persistent. That fear is worse than the actual rejection. But vulnerability is showing up even when you have no control over what’s gonna happen. Sunday night, when Britt needed pro-wrestling and All Elite Wrestling the most, when she needed the fans, they welcomed her back with opened arms and chants of DMD!
For that, Britt will always, always be in their corner. Because in the end, Britt’s just like one of them, and she means that. Now, to the future, her motivation. When you are going through a hard time, just go through it. Be present, feel all of it, because if you do, it’ll make it that much better when you get to the other side. Because they all possess the impulse to be elite. And speaking of Elite… Britt has to say this, because she heard we have a new female face of AEW. The fans boo, but Britt says it must be so rewarding for this woman to call herself that after shedding blood, sweat and tears in this ring and building this company from the ground up! That must be great, right?
And CEO? Wow, those three letters, this woman must’ve worked and studied so hard for a decade to earn something like that. It is brilliant to manipulate the fanbase into chanting those letters by piping them into your theme song. But hey, guys, Britt doesn’t think they need music to tell our “new friend” the only three letters that matter are D M D! Wait, who is honking up a storm as they pull into the parking lot? Oh of course, out steps the now DOUBLE Champion, Mercedes Mone. The CEO is greeted by The EVPs, and they say that from the EVPs to the CEO, they want to congratulate her on winning both belts! Nick says this is a CEO they can support!
And hey, that championship celebration is ready. Then let’s go! Mone heads out and Matt tells production to get the ring ready. Props, decorations, go go go! Keep that energy up, and let’s have a great show! But that means they’re clearing Britt out…? The brightly colored balloons are brought out, and here comes Mone! The fans boo, and yet Britt is standing her ground in the ring, even as more balloons are poured in. Mone steps up, shows off both the TBS and NJPW Strong Women’s titles, then swaggers into the ring. Mone gets herself a mic, but the “D M D!” chants are drowning out the “C E O!” chants.
Mone says, “Uhhh… Oops! Britt, did I interrupt something? Because Chicagoooo~! It’s time to celebrate with your Double Champion, Mercedes Mone.” The fans boo but Britt says she gets it. Britt took Mone’s moment at Forbidden Door, so now Mone is doing the same thing back. Mone says what Britt does is so irrelevant. But if you wanna get real, let’s talk about it. Forbidden Door is the place, the PPV, that Mone made famous by becoming Double Champion. But Britt came out to take the spotlight. The fans chant STFU at Mone but that just amuses her. Because Mone wants Chicago and Britt to get a real good look at what a real star looks like.
The fans boo more but Britt says, “All In.” That’s what she wants. Britt was at the first All In right here in Chicago. And she was the first female to go All In on AEW by signing her name on the contract. Britt wrestled at All In last year in London, while Mone was lookin’ like a broke ass bitch with a broken leg! So Britt wants to face Mone at this year’s All In. Mone says talk to the hand, and then pie faces Britt with it. Mone tells Britt that she’s never broke. And since she is a DOUBLE Champion, there is a long list of girls waiting in the back. So Britt needs to get to the back of that line, B*TCH! Britt tells Mone, “What line?”
Mone says Britt is surely a fan, so she should know what comes next. There’s a price to pay when you mess with Mone! Mone holds up both belts, taunts Britt with them, but will Britt just snatch both of those away in one fell swoop?
Backstage interview with Will Ospreay & Kyle Fletcher.
Renee is now with The Aerial Assassin and Aussie Arrow, and she says tonight, Ospreay’s International Championship is on the line against Daniel Garcia. Ospreay was confident that he’d be walking in here with two titles, but that is clearly not the case. Mentally and physically, how is he feeling ahead of this match? Before Ospreay can answer, Don Callis walks in. Ospreay glares at the man who more or less cost him the world title, but Fletcher keeps him cool. Ospreay asks Renee and Fletcher to step aside so he and Callis can talk. Renee obliges, but Fletcher asks if he’s sure. Ospreay says yes, and Fletcher steps back.
Ospreay says Callis doesn’t have to say anything. Because really, it isn’t Callis’ fault. It is Ospreay’s fault. Ospreay’s the one who knocked out the ref, and he couldn’t bring the Tiger Driver out. Ospreay knows what Callis is going to say, about how he should’ve just done it. But Ospreay doesn’t think he’s that guy anymore. Last year, Callis gave Ospreay a match with Kenny Omega, and gave him the tools to defeat Omega. And when Ospreay thought things couldn’t get any better, Callis gave him Chris Jericho at All In Wembley. Ospreay’s life has changed dramatically, he owes Callis so much. There’s a loyalty to Callis for that.
But at the same time, Ospreay lost out on Sunday, and his heart broke. Ospreay wants out of the Don Callis Family, and for good this time. Fletcher is surprised, and Callis is a bit taken aback himself. Callis says he’s not normally in the habit of letting people out of agreements. But… Well, Callis is just so proud of Ospreay and what he’s done here. Calli sis happy to do Ospreay this favor. And maybe one day, Callis will ask Ospreay for a favor. They hug it out, and Callis says Ospreay will be world champion one day. Callis wishes Ospreay all the best tonight, then tells Fletcher to follow him. Fletcher is conflicted, but he obeys.
Will Fletcher ever get out from under the Don Callis Family’s thumb? Will Ospreay be able to hold onto the gold he has now that he’s flying solo?
Chris Jericho is here!
The Learning Tree makes his way out, a clipboard in hand, and security right behind him? Security stands in front of commentary, or more specifically, Taz, and Jericho gets as mic. “Hi, guys~!” The fans boo but Jericho says he wasn’t scheduled for a match, so he figured he could come out here and be a guest commentator. After all, Jericho just has to have his TV time, right? Jericho says on top of that, he had to talk about what Hook did on Sunday. Hook broke the cardinal sin of the wrestling business by stealing someone else’s signature move, namely Jericho’s Judas Effect. That is the ultimate sign of disrespect, and that doesn’t work for Jericho, brother.
Jericho says even worse than that was Taz! Taz is supposed to be an unbiased announcer, and he instead stands and claps for Hook like a mark! If anyone knows about gimmick infringement, it’s Taz. That is why Jericho talked with Matthew & Nicholas. If Jericho is going to be on commentary, he cannot be anywhere near Taz because he cannot trust Taz! The EVPs granted Jericho this executive order that says Taz is relieved of his commentary duties for the rest of this evening, AND Taz must vacate the premises immediately! The fans boo and commentary calls BS, but that’s why security is here.
Jericho shows the document, then says, “Thanks, guys! Bye, Taz~!” Taz is escorted away, and Jericho takes Taz’s seat, just in time for this next match!
Six Man Tag: Samoa Joe, Hook & Katsuyori Shibata VS The Cage of Agony!
Well, speaking of Forbidden Door, the trio that beat down The Learning Tree is right back in action. Will the Samoan Submission Specialist, the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil & The Wrestler keep up their momentum? Or will The Machine, Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona reestablish their dominance in the trios division?
The teams sort out and the fans chant for “JOE! JOE! JOE!” as he starts against Liona. They circle, tie up, and are in a deadlock. Liona fires forearms but Joe gives those back! Joe runs, but Liona ELBOWS Joe down! Liona gets Joe up, fires body shot after body shot, and fans chant “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Liona has Joe against ropes as he fires more shots, but the ref reprimands. Liona whips, Joe reverses to CHOP! And CHOP! And JAB! JAB! JAB! “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Joe runs corner to corner to ELBOW and PELE! Liona staggers, tags out to Brian Cage, but Shibata tags right in! The fans fire up as these two circle now.
Cage swings, Shibata dodges and comes back to KNEE low! Shibata bumps and BOOTS Cage, then fires off forearms in the corner! Cage sits down, Shibata goes corner to corner, but Cage gets up to CLOBBER Shibata! Cage then waistlocks Shibata, but Shibata leg capture for a toehold, HEEL HOOK!

2024 Men’s Owen Hart Cup Quarterfinal: Jeff Jarrett VS Wild Card!
J, E, Double F, J, A, Double R, E, Double T. That is how you spell the name of The Last Outlaw, and one of the few people in AEW who knew Owen Hart personally. He wants to do this not for himself, but for the memory of his late friend. But then, who is this Wild Card the Young Bucks have handpicked? Well, none other than HANGMAN ADAM PAGE!! The former AEW World Champion is back, but will this be the same #CowboySh*t as before? Or will this be something more dangerous?
The bell rings and the fans are a bit torn between Cowboy and Outlaw. The two tie up, go around, and Hangman shoves Jarrett down. Hangman glares, Jarrett stands back up, and the two reset. They tie up, Hangman powers Jarrett to ropes but Jarrett turns things around. Hangman turns them back again and they end up in a corner. The ref counts, Hangman lets off, and then he ROCKS Jarrett!

This Cowboy is going full black hat, but the fans taunt him with “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!”
Hangman throws off his elbow pad, goes to the apron, and takes aim. But then Jarrett flops over! Hangman is annoyed, asks the ref what’s up, and then he grabs Jarrett. Jarrett shoves Hangman out! Hangman hurries up, BOOTS Jarrett, then slingshots, but into a SPINEBUSTER! And step through, to SHARPSHOOTER!! The fans are thunderous as Jarrett uses the Hart family move, Owen’s favorite move, but Hangman flails and scrambles forward! ROPEBREAK! Jarrett lets go in frustration, pulling at his hair. The fans rally up as hard as they can, but then Hangman HOTSHOTS Jarrett!
Hangman goes out, loads up, BUCKSHOT!! And then he just HAMMERS away on Jarrett with fists! Another Alabama Lift, and another DEADEYE!!! Cover, Hangman wins!
Winner: Hangman Adam Page, by pinfall (advances to the next round)
The fans boo, mostly because Hangman went the extra mile just to hurt Double J! And now, Hangman is going on to Collision to face Jay White! Will the Switchblade ruin Hangman’s return already? Or will this Wild Card deal another L on the road to the Owen Hart Cup?
Meanwhile, Team Triple J hurries out there to check on Jarrett, he is in bad shape. Is this the last we’ve seen of The Last Outlaw?
Trainers check on Hook.
But then Big Bill TOSSES one aside! Keith goes after Hook directly, but Hook fights him off! But then a FIREBALL gets Hook in the face! The Learning Tree brings out his old Wizard tricks! Keith says they told him to respect Chris Jericho! Jericho waves bye to Hook, did he just teach Hook one final lesson?
Backstage interview with Hangman Page.
Beach Break returns as Renee catches up with The Cowboy, and she welcomes him back, as well as congratulates him on the win tonight. But she has to ask, was that level of aggression really necessary? But in steps The Elite and they applaud Hangman’s return! So good to see him again! Matt tells Renee it’s okay, they have this. Renee steps away and Matt says Hangman could say thanks for this. They lifted the suspension and got him in The Owen, and he crushed it! Congrats! Now, they’ll continue to scratch his back, so long as he scratches theirs. Hangman scowls so Matt says he’ll just out and say it.
Blood & Guts is coming up, they need a fifth man. Will Hangman be The Elite’s fifth- Hangman grabs Matt by the lapels and gets in his face! Hangman tells Matt to listen to him and listen good. Hangman is not a child, and he is not a puppet. He is therefore not The Elite’s man anymore. Hangman does not need their BS games. He is in The Owen, and he will win The Owen. Understood? Nick tries to calm Hangman down but Hangman just pushes past him. What’s his problem? The EVPs do their best to shrug that off, and they tell production to cut away. Did The Elite miscalculate in their little “foolproof plan?”

AEW International Champion: Will Ospreay VS Daniel Garcia w/ MJF!
The Aerial Assassin admitted earlier tonight that he is the only one to blame for not winning the AEW World Championship. But at the same time, he is truly on his own in AEW after convincing Don Callis to let him go. Will the #BillyGOAT still shine as a man apart? Or will having the Wolf of Wrestling’s support help Red Death finally grab some gold?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is truly championship material!
The bell rings and the fans fire up already. Ospreay and Garcia circle, tie up, and are in a deadlock. “This is Awesome!” already as Garcia goes for a leg and Ospreay pushes Garcia to ropes. The ref counts, Ospreay and Garcia let off slowly, and then Garcia swings! Ospreay dodges, kicks low, and headlocks. MJF is already taking off his leather jacket while Garcia powers up and out. Ospreay runs Garcia over but Garcia is right up. Garcia shoulders into Ospreay again and again and MJF coaches him up. Garcia headlocks, snapmares, then KICKS Ospreay! Ospreay stands up to CHOP!

Ospreay writhes, Garcia covers, ONE! MJF coaches Garcia, the fans rally, and Garcia has an inverted cravat. Ospreay fights up, swim moves free, but Garcia gets him again. NECKBREAKER! Ospreay goes to a corner, the fans fire up, and Garcia runs in to clothesline!
Garcia goes up, and the fans fire up as he rains down fists! Garcia only gets 5 as Ospreay slips under! Ospreay tucks Garcia in, for CHEEKY NANDOS! Garcia falls to the floor, Ospreay PLANCHAS to knock him down! The fans fire up with Ospreay but MJF coaches Garcia more. Ospreay and MJF then lock eyes and the ref says to back up. MJF steps aside, Ospreay drags Garcia up and Ospreay puts Garcia in at 7 of 10. Garcia takes a shot at Ospreay, so Ospreay CLUBS Garcia on the apron as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Ospreay storms into the ring, stalks Garcia as he crawls, and then stomps Garcia around. Garcia goes to ropes, Ospreay brings him up to scoop and SLAM! Ospreay drops a knee on Garcia’s head!

The fans fire up and then Garcia DECKS Ospreay! MJF likes that and Garcia gives more dance! Then a SAIDO! Ospreay staggers up, Garcia runs in, but into a SPANISH FLY! Cover, TWO!!

Winner: Will Ospreay, by pinfall (still AEW International Champion)
MJF is beside himself! Did he just cost Garcia with that distraction? Garcia is certainly frustrated in himself now, but Ospreay goes to him and shows him respect. Ospreay wants Garcia not to be so harsh on himself, and even the fans are cheering for “Both These Guys! Both These Guys!” Ospreay encourages Garcia that he has what it takes, he’ll get there some day. Ospreay leaves as MJF steps into the ring, and now MJF sits with Garcia. MJF says he takes the blame on this one. Garcia busted his ass, and the people still love him! The fans cheer in confirmation. MJF helps Garcia stand up, and MJF raises Garcia’s hand.
The fans cheer and MJF says Garcia will be champion. They hug it out, and then MJF LOW BLOWS Garcia!! The fans boo but we all should’ve known better. And then MJF puts the diamond ring on his finger?! Matt Menard hurries out there but MJF DECKS him! MJF SPITS on Garcia, then tells him to get up!

Daniels asks why! What does MJF even think this will do!? Refs and medics hurry out here, but MJF shoves them all aside!
MJF rains down fists, but here comes Ospreay!! Ospreay is pissed that MJF would sully this otherwise great night, and then MJF runs away! The Wolf of Wrestling is more like a snake crossed with a weasel, and he even gets in the face of some fans! He throws garbage around, talks more trash with more fans, then storms to the backstage area. As for Garcia, medics have brought a neck brace, backboard and stretcher for him. Ospreay wants after MJF but Daniels says to let management handle this. Garcia is loaded to the stretcher, and wheeled away from ringside. Will Garcia ever be alright again?
My Thoughts:
This was a great Dynamite as both the follow-up to Forbidden Door but also as the Beach Break special that also ties into Shark Week for HBO Discovery. Though, they didn’t do that much shark related stuff, other than fans getting to have foam shark fin hats. I kinda wish there was at least one thing, though I suppose MJF being out for blood counts… After a really good promo of MJF saying he’ll be Garcia’s guy, and another really good promo of Ospreay being set free from the Don Callis Family, we got a PPV level title match in our main event. This was perhaps Garcia’s best match in his career so far, but still a great win for Ospreay.
MJF going back to being a Heel so soon after returning was part of the surprise, but he sure committed. He bloodied Garcia, he bloodied Menard, he kayfabe hospitalized Garcia, and now he’s got Ospreay after him. It clearly sets up Ospreay VS MJF for the International Championship at All In, so the next month and a half is gonna be them building that. And there’s a chance the Don Callis Family adds on because Callis himself said Ospreay will owe him now. Fletcher didn’t like the sound of any of that, and the favor might be giving Fletcher or someone in the Don Callis Family a shot at the International title first.
Great stuff in the ongoing story between Jericho and Hook, with Jericho of course having to pull something underhanded. Taz is banned from the building because Jericho, Bill & Keith were of course attacking. The Six Man Tag was great stuff, but it was a bit of a shame The Cage of Agony had to take the loss to put Joe, Hook & Shibata over. Jericho’s team beating down Hook’s team, then trying to burn Hook quite literally is some big stuff, but naturally this is to make the FTW Championship rematch of Hook VS Jericho even bigger and wilder than before. They might even be able to have this on the same night as Blood & Guts.
Speaking of, instead of announcing Team AEW all at once, it seems like the members are gonna volunteer themselves. Granted, I do like that, it feeds into the idea that not everyone is willing to risk their jobs standing up to their bosses. But Mark Briscoe is great, he’ll be a fun part of that match. The Elite going after him, bringing out Kyle O’Reilly and The Acclaimed, I feel like we might’ve just seen Team AEW in full. O’Reilly, Briscoe, Caster, Bowens & Daddy Ass, all to add some heat to all the different title matches. Acclaimed VS Bucks, Billy VS Okada and possibly Briscoe VS Jack Perry, that all feels like big stuff for All In.
Great stuff in the various Owen Hart Cup stories. Great promo from Willow to lead into her match with Kris, and I was surprised that Willow won here after winning the tag match at Forbidden Door. At the same time, the better story is perhaps Willow going for the Cup once again. Good promo from Storm to hype Mariah up, and Mariah’s match with Shida will be big. If Mariah wins against Shida, she’ll certainly win the whole thing, because they’re gonna go through with Mariah VS Storm, student VS teacher. And then Bryan VS Pac was a badass opening match, and I figured Bryan would win out, beat up as he is.
Now, Hangman was of course being the Wild Card given we also got a teaser vignette last week. Hangman VS Jarrett was great stuff, one of Jarrett’s better singles matches since being in AEW, and you really do feel for the guy, but Hangman was of course winning. At the same time, Hangman gets some real heat on him for going as far as he did, and yet he also refuses to be part of The Elite after The Elite tried to ditch him. Hangman is definitely the favorite in winning the Owen Hart Cup because that would mean he faces Swerve Strickland one more time. All In Wembley is being treated as THE top AEW PPV now, why not have one of the most vicious feuds in AEW history so far?
And then, a great promo segment from Britt Baker that also segued right into Mercedes Mone’s scheduled segment. Britt dealing with TIAs, that is some rough stuff, I really feel for her. Rather wild that she and Serena Deeb had that parallel of medical conditions taking them out. Now, Britt is of course the Face in this story, but that works for what I was expecting. Mone is better as a Heel, has been riding that line since showing up in AEW anyway, and her gimmick of CEO works with The Bucks being corrupt EVPs. In fact, The Bucks welcoming Mone, why not just make her the first female member of The Elite and make that group even more golden and star-studded?
My Score: 9/10

Everything you’ve worked for for the last five years in AEW, I’m gonna give you a chance right now. Hey ref, you work for me, get your ass in the ring. We’re going to put the Trios Championships on the line again, right now! Ring the bell!” The fans boo but apparently Moxley has the power to do this. Can Uno, Reynolds & Silver turn the tides to take the power back?

Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Lexy Nair is with Roderick Strong, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett, but also Beast Mortos. They wanted to talk with him, but are mostly feeding him fried chicken… Roddy says, “BEEEAST! Thanks for joining us.” Bennett gives Mortos more meat to eat, and Roddy says they really need to talk. What is going on with Mortos? Something seems off. Mortos growls but Bennett says no, he’s just confused. Mortos taking out Hologram like that? Not cool. Taven can’t believe LFI got Mortos to wear a polo shirt! Mortos never even wore a shirt when hanging out with The Kingdom. Not cool! And what is Mortos doing fisting (with) two other dudes? Really not cool.
But the most disappointing thing of all, is that this is all happening without The Kingdom! Roddy says they’re not mad, just disappointed. The Kingdom leaves but did Mortos even care what they said while chowing down on meat? If they keep trying to get Mortos back, will LFI make The Kingdom one of their targets?
AEW Women’s World Championship Title Eliminator: Mariah May VS Anna Jay!
While there were some legitimate complaints made by the AEW Women’s World Champion, she doesn’t really help herself when she looks down on the rest of the roster. Will The Glamour continue to grow her ego here tonight? Or will Anna prove she’s the real Star of the Show?

Mariah is speechless! She thought Anna was unworthy, and yet that arrogance is why Anna won! And Tony Khan calls in to say we don’t have to wait long! Two weeks from now, Collision in Philadelphia, Mariah May VS Anna Jay, with the title on the line! Will Mariah avenge herself in the rematch? Or will there truly be a new Star of the Show?
My Thoughts:
A great Battle of the Belts, especially with the events of Collision spilling over. BCC beating down Top Flight, fighting Dark Order, and then having another match was all great stuff to really get heat on them. And speaking of the Collision crossover, great bit with Garcia & Private Party rushing out there, and then Cassidy eventually going out there once BCC was on the retreat. As we saw for Collision, the other Faces are expecting Cassidy to step up but he is reluctant to, given his history with the various members of BCC. At some point, The Conglomeration members might also think Cassidy should step up, and he’ll be compelled to fight.
Speaking of Conglomeration, great match from Okada VS O’Reilly, and I do appreciate them pushing this close to the time limit. Great win for Okada, and his card is wide open now, ready to face just about anyone. LFI had a very good promo to follow up what they did on Collision, but also to show Hologram is not out of the woods with them. Hologram might even be the third man alongside FTR to fight the full LFI. Mortos and Undisputed Kingdom also had a great promo together, very funny stuff. That’s also a Six Man Tag we could see, and just about any trio could come out of this to challenge BCC next.
Really good first showing for the #MurderMachines, Archer & Cage, but that combo Blackout Powerbomb needs some work to smooth out the wrinkles. I feel like they’ll be stepping to Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara for the ROH World Tag Team Championships first, given The Bucks are Heels. And great main event from Mariah VS Anna. I am very pleased to see they had Anna win here. It works for Mariah’s character as her arrogance cost her, and now we’ll get an even better title match in a couple weeks. I don’t see Anna winning that one, though, because again, we need to see Mina Shirakawa work her way to the title so she and Mariah can fight it out.
My Score: 8.7/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Jon Moxley speaks.
“Regarding the AEW World Championship, nothing has changed. Nothing is different. Nothing changed last Saturday night, nothing has changed since the moment I arrived in AEW. Nobody ‘owns’ that belt, it doesn’t belong to anybody. It’s not for Bryan Danielson or anybody else. It’s for the position that only man has sat in that chair. That is me. Somebody spent a lot of money on that belt and it’s really supposed to mean something. It’s just gold and leather, but when I look at it, it is the symbol of everything I hate in this sport. It’s the symbol of everything I’ve been fighting against for years. Everything that AEW was not supposed to be.
“If nobody else is going to say it, I’ll say it. Nothing comes for free in this world. But tonight, we give this Top Flight a gift. A shot at the World Trios Championships, won’t that be so great? They think they’re gonna hit a button, ride up an elevator to the top of this sport, that’s not how this works. There is no elevator. You are standing at the foot of a mountain, and the mountain looks like this.” Moxley points to Pac, Claudio and Yuta in turn. “We will win this war, cuz our cause is just, and our power is pure, and our enemies are weak in spirit. It’s a big night for you, Top Flight, but it is not your coronation. Tonight is a public execution.”
The Maniac paces, and the warning has been issued. Will Action, Darius & Dante still go through with the match?

Konosuke Takeshita, it doesn’t matter where you go. You may be champion, but you can go to Canada, Mexico, Japan, or somewhere in the US. Wherever Takeshita goes, Ricochet will be waiting to kick his ass!
Ricochet says it doesn’t matter who has his back, from Don Callis to Kyle Fletcher, because Ricochet will knock down opponent after opponent until he gets Takeshita 1v1 in this ring to become the NEW International Champion! The fans rally behind Ricochet, and Ricochet knows they know. They know that Ricochet isn’t from this planet, he is Outta This World! The fans fire up, but when and where will The One & Only take on The Alpha?
Daniel Garcia & Private Party speak.
Red Death says Moxley and his crew wanna come in and take over AEW. Then they’ve got The Young Bucks & Jack Perry just sitting back, letting it happen. They act like it’s all okay. It’s not. And the thing is, The Elite isn’t willing to handle the responsibility it takes to truly handle those championships. But good news! He and Private Party will relieve them of their duties. Garcia says Zay to talk to ’em. Kassidy says the word isn’t complicit, it is complacent. The Bucks have become complacent cowards! Private Party will not sit back and watch BCC take over AEW. AEW changed Kassidy’s life!
Zay would rather die fighting than watch AEW go down in flames. And if Private Party has to lead by example by beating The Elite’s asses and become the NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions, then so be it! Marq Quen says there you have it. He can’t paint a better picture. And before they beat The Elite’s asses on Dynamite, there’s business to handle tonight. Stockton, the mission continues, let’s get it! Garcia, Quen & Zay are ready, but will the Premier Athletes stand in their way?
Kris Statlander VS Harley Cameron!
The Galaxy’s Greatest is now #BornAgainKristen, and she wants to return to what made her great in the first place. But will she keep her comeback going? Or will this wacky Aussie show one of her many talents is winning?
The bell rings, Kris and Harley circle, and then they step up. Harley calls for a knuckle lock, Kris accepts, and then Harley pokes Kris in the eyes! But Kris denies Sole Food! Kris rolls Harley to her feet, but Harley tilt-o-whirl sunset flips, TOW! Harley comes back, leg sweep and jackknife, TWO as Kris bridges up! Kris spins Harley around, reels her in, and hauls her up! But Harley RANAS it down! TWO! Kris escapes, bypasses Harley, and then scoops her, for a BACKBREAKER! Kris fires up and the fans fire up with her! Kris drags Harley up, scoops and SLAMS, then paces around again. The fans rally as Kris drags Harley up.

Kris drags Harley up, whips her to the corner, then runs in for a LARIAT! Kris whips corner to corner, runs up, but Harley dodges! Harley ROUNDHOUSES from the apron, then HOTSHOTS!

Kris wins but she’s not done as she grabs the mic. “One thing about me is that I am never afraid to test myself and prove that I am THE toughest and THE strongest here in AEW.” The fans cheer that! Kris says one person has been a real pain in the ass. So Kamille, Kris is calling you out! Time Kamille finally met her match! And as for Mercedes Mone, Kris will make sure you have a front row seat. The Galaxy’s Greatest wants to take on The Brickhouse, but will she make it through that obstacle to then get at The CEO’s TBS Championship?
Six Man Tag: Daniel Garcia & Private Party VS The Premier Athletes!
We just heard from Red Death and friends and they are in a fighting mood. But of course we have to hear from “Smart” Mark Sterling… “Folks, the Premier Athletes have decided to take care of these three punk kids for all the disrespect that they’ve been showing our great EVPs, Matthew & Nicholas Jackson. And of course we’re doing this for an opportunity at what I do best, and that’s climb the corporate ladder!” Now the people here in Stockton are surely just smart enough to play along. When he says, “Athletes!” you say, “Rule!” Nothing else! Hands in. Ohhh~…! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Sterling isn’t that smart is he?

The fans boo, Quen & Garcia protest, but the ref has to stop them from getting at Nese. Nese taunts them while Collision goes picture in picture.
Nese fetches Zay into the ring, drags him to the Premier Athlete corner, then tags Woods. Woods fires big hands on Zay, then brings Zay around to bump off buckles.

Jake “The Snake” Roberts speaks.
“What are we going to do next? That should be the question in your mind. When Jake Roberts tells you something, you know you can take it to heart. Trust me when It ell you, you cannot outrun the bull. Outrunners, you can run but you cannot hide. Rules and bones were meant to be broken. That’s the reason they made them. Trust me. We’re just here to tear the hell outta everything. That’s what you gotta think about when you step into the ring with us.” When you mess with the bull, you get the horns, so will Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd be gored through by La Faccion Ingobernable?
Orange Cassidy VS Bulk Bronson w/ The Iron Savages!
Mark Briscoe is facing Chris Jericho in a Ladder War on Dynamite, and Kyle O’Reilly is facing Kazuchika Okada later tonight on Battle of the Belts. Will Freshly Squeezed earn himself a golden opportunity? Wait, Jacked Jameson tells all the “fat morons and skinny idiots” to shut up. He is the Shredded Savage, and these monsters are Bulk Bronson & Beefcake Boulder! But hold up. What he sees in the ring is a member of The Conglomeration, a team featured on every show this company has. Meanwhile, Iron Savages must have been renamed The Melatonin Savages, because they keep getting slept on!
So tonight, the flavor of the Savage Sauce is going to be Orange Crush, because Bronson is gonna crush Orange! They are sippin’ sauce, livin’ hoss, and taking all the Low T meat-riders to #TIDDYCITY!

An Open Challenge was put out last night on Rampage, though it was directed mostly at Mrs. Superbad, Penelope Ford. Surprise, surprise, Penelope chose not to answer it. Instead, Brooke is looking to wreak havoc in Stockton, will she bring down a former AEW Women’s World Champion? Or will she learn that Hayter Hits Hard?
The bell rings, the fans rally up, and the two fist bump to show there’s respect. they tie up, Hayter waistlocks and SLAMS Havok. Havok fights up, fires elbows, then runs, but gets run over!

Cover, Hayter wins!
Winner: Jamie Hayter, by pinfall
It was probably over with that Haytbreaker on overdrive, but Hayter punctuates the victory. Wait, Penelope is on the tron. “Oh, hey, Jamie, are you really confused why I attacked you? I’ll tell you why. Because unlike you, most of us have to work for our opportunities. Do you even know who my partner was in my last TV match? You! And you wanna talk about backstabbing b*tches? Well you’re the backstabbing b*tch! I was out for two years, do you know what that does to someone’s mind? And not once did you even check in on me. Meanwhile, you were gone for a year and you come back to a damn parade at Wembley Stadium.”
Penelope says too many have forgotten who she is, especially Hayter. But Penelope is back, and she’ll make sure what two years of pain and anger really looks like. Penelope is here to take everting that Hayter cares about. And she won’t let anyone forget who Penelope Ford is again. Hayter says okay, fine! But will Hayter make sure Penelope regrets calling her out?
Backstage interview with Daniel Garcia & Private Party.
Lexy Nair is with the winning side tonight and says that was a phenomenal win. Say that again, say that again! What a PHENOMENAL win! Yes, that’s good! Wait, Cassidy steps in. Garcia says he’s been hoping to talk with him. Cassidy sees what it is like out there, yeah? It isn’t about being a hero, it isn’t about being tough guys. It is about holding each other accountable. They are coming to Cassidy because he’s been there before, he beat all these guys before, and it’s time to step up. Cassidy says yeah, he’s been there before. And every time he steps into the ring with one of those guys, it changes him.
Cassidy says he is no leader. He’s just not that guy. Freshly Squeezed heads out, Garcia is disappointed. But will things change when push comes to shove?
Kyle Fletcher w/ Don Callis VS Atlantis Jr!
The last time these two met, it was June of this year when The Protostar defended the ROH World Television Championship against the CMLL second generation star.

Sammy Guevara speaks.
“I’ve been here for the past five years. I take a lot of pride in being called an AEW Original. Because of this place, my life changed for the better. So the best way I know how to repay AEW is to make sure every single time I get in that ring, I give you a moment you’ve never seen before. For me, it’s always the same. But the way I get there needs to be different. The way I realize my destiny is by going against the best. And one of the best just had a hell of a debut on Dynamite. He’s a man I watched since I was a kid, so I went to Tony Khan personally and I asked for this match.
This Wednesday, for the first-time ever, live on Dynamite, it’ll be Sammy Guevara VS Shelton Benjamin! Get ready for another moment.” The Spanish God is on his way back, but will he be ready for the Standard of Excellence?

Marina TOSSES Leila up, and Collision ends with more mayhem! Who will ever stop the reign of terror that Moxley has started?
My Thoughts:
A really good Collision, with the only real filler being The House of Black winning their squash match. Great match from Ricochet VS Fox with a great win from Ricochet, and a pretty good promo for him to call out Takeshita. If they want to sell what he said, Ricochet should go to the same other promotions Takeshita visits. Like if Takeshita goes back home to Japan and DDT Pro, have Ricochet go after him after a match. And as far as having a match, this should culminate at Full Gear to really stretch out Takeshita trying to avoid Ricochet until he just can’t. Kyle VS Atlantis was also a great match, and great win for Kyle. Kyle saying he’ll tell all on Wednesday is of course going to set up Kyle VS Ospreay, perhaps also for Full Gear.
Very good match from Kris VS Harley, which Kris of course wins. Kris calling out Kamille is great, and a little annoyed they’re making us wait for Fright Night when Kris VS Kamille could just happen next week to give us Kris VS Mone at Fright Night instead. But whatever, this is the usual Tony Khan Women’s Division pacing, because surely Kris VS Mone is what he wants for Full Gear. That does make sense, because for one, Mone as a character would want the big money moment on a PPV, not on TV. And regardless of where/when it happens, it is hard to say that even Face Statlander beats Mone for the TBS Championship.
Harley also had a good moment with Thunder Rosa. Rosa knocking Harley on her ass was great, and Rosa VS Harley will be fun stuff. It can definitely help Rosa get back up and into title conversations, and she should be going for Mone and the TBS title because chasing that history of “first woman to hold both AEW belts” is some good stuff. Meanwhile, Hayter demolished Havok, and she’ll have really good stuff with Penelope Ford, and on a personal level, I do feel for Penelope missing two YEARS of action. Penelope probably wins a match from cheating, but then loses to Hayter in the rematch so that Hayter can go back for a championship.
Great match from LFI VS Outrunners, but the cheating spots LFI pulled off were a bit clunky. LFI of course wins to spark more interaction with FTR, and LFI VS FTR will be great stuff whenever they do it. And then great stuff in this larger story of “Who runs AEW?” Garcia & Private Party had a great promo to call out The Elite, they had a really good match with The Premier Athletes and therefore a really good win over them. Cassidy squashing Bronson while also knocking down Jameson was good stuff. Then Garcia asking Cassidy to take a stand against BCC was good stuff. Cassidy has good reason for wanting to avoid BCC, but Cassidy’s role in this story is now making that random promo with Jerry Lynn work out.
And then speaking of the BCC, very good promo from Moxley to open, and great main event with Top Flight. BCC of course won, but the beatdown that bleeds over into Battle of the Belts is actually pretty good stuff. BCC are just agents of violence and chaos, and they booked the third hour, so might as well segue from one show right into the next.
My Score: 8.8/10
