Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite in Ontario, CA:
Match 1: Jon Moxley & Wheeler Yuta vs. Orange Cassidy & Hook
Result: Jon Moxley & Wheeler Yuta beat Orange Cassidy & Hook. Yuta pinned Hook with a seatbelt.
Adam Page-Swerve Strickland staredown. If either got violent with the other, both are banned the rest of the year and their PPV match Saturday is off. That didn’t happen because Page cut a straight fire promo and also found a loophole-nothing about Prince Nana in there, so Page got a free beatdown on Nana until security broke it up.
Match 2: Skye Blue vs. Red Velvet. The winner gets added to a 3-way Saturday for the AEW TBS Championship against Kris Statlander & Julia Hart
Result: Skye Blue beat Red Velvet. As a result, Blue will face AEW TBS Champion Kris Statlander & Julia Hart in a 3-way for the title at Full Gear.
Miro promo.
RJ City introduces Mariah May to Toni Storm backstage. Storm is having none of it, then demands Luther talk to Tony Khan and book her in a match for Friday.
Match 3: Samoa Joe vs. a jobber. Unintroduced and revealed by commentary to be Jon Cruz.
Result: Samoa Joe beat Jon Cruz by submission. Squash.
Match 4: Penta El Zero M & Komander vs. The Young Bucks
Result: The Young Bucks beat Penta El Zero M & Komander. Matt Jackson pinned Komander after BTE Trigger.
Match 5: Gunn Club beat 2 jobbers in less than 10 seconds. Squash.
Match 6: Kenny Omega, Chris Jericho, Kota Ibushi & Paul Wight vs. Brian Cage, Kyle Fletcher, Powerhouse Hobbs & Konosuke Takeshita in a street fight (sponsored by Like A Dragon Gaiden, a new videogame in the “Yakuza” series from Sega that was released yesterday

Friday on a LIVE Collision: Dax Hardwood (actually said that on broadcast) vs. Rush, Saraya & Ruby Soho vs. HIkaru Shida & Kris Statlander, Miro vs. Daniel Garcia. Then on a LIVE Rampage: MJF and Jay White interviews and Toni Storm vs. Emi Sakura. More to come on the socials.
MJF promo. Jay White comes out at the end and sets up the Bullet Club beatdown to end the show. Samoa Joe is watching on the monitor backstage as we cut away.
This show didn’t do much for me especially as a PPV go-home, but it wasn’t a bad show. Everything was average or better, the tag match and women’s match are worth watching (the tag match was really good). I didn’t care much for the street fight. Viewer discretion on this one but there’s nothing you need to or should skip outside of a couple quick squashes.
LIVE results for Collision Friday at 8 PM ET and Rampage at 10 PM ET Friday are scheduled. A PPV preview special follows at 11 PM ET, all on TNT. All will be TAPED on the west coast.
UPDATE: After the show, AEW announced on the socials that they’ve officially signed Kota Ibushi.
