Here are the LIVE quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite in Indianapolis, IN:
Orange Cassidy comes out first. This was a last-minute add to the show (about 90 minutes before start). He says no time off despite what the bosses say. As he leaves, out comes the man who beat him Sunday for the AEW International Championship…
Match 1: AEW International Champion Jon Moxley vs. AR Fox for the title
Result: AEW International Champion Jon Moxley beat AR Fox to retain the title.
(Apparently Cassidy was a last-minute add to the lineup and replacing an announced Adam Cole Speaks spot)
Christian Cage tries to recruit Nick Wayne backstage as Fox & Darby Allin watch from the ring.
Match 2: AEW TBS Champion Kris Statlander vs. Emi Sakura for the title
Result: AEW TBS Champion Kris Statlander beat Emi Sakura to retain the title.
Match 3: Chris Jericho & Sammy Guevara vs. Aussie Open (Mark Davis & Kyle Fletcher). Don Callis on commentary.
Result: Chris Jericho & Sammy Guevara beat Aussie Open. Jericho pinned Fletcher after Judas Effect. Jericho & Guevara argued and shoved each other afterwards until security broke it up. Quite a bit of friendly fire.
Ricky Starks promo.
Bryan Danielson will speak Saturday on Collision.
Callis interviewed. He will reveal Konosuke Takeshita’s next “target” next week.
MJF comes out. Sama Joe soon joined him. Long but hot promo segment that teased a potential MJF-Joe AEW World Championship match on 9/20 if Joe wins the Eliminator Tournament to get the title shot. Joe beat down MJF at the end. MJF tried to fight back but Joe beat him down again and teased a muscle buster before Adam Cole made the save. MJF claimed he couldn’t feel his left arm.
As they took MJF to the back Roderick Strong came out for his match and confronted Cole on the entrance ramp.
Match 4: World Title Eliminator Tournament: Roderick Strong vs. Trent Beretta
Result: Roderick Strong beat Trent Beretta
Toni Storm interviewed. Renee Paquette says there will be a 4-way next week with the winner facing Saraya for the AEW Women’s Championship on 9/20. Storm tries to throw another shoe at Renee on the way out but Renee dodged again.
Friday on Rampage: World Title Eliminator Tournament matches-Penta El Zero M vs. Jay Lethal & Samoa Joe vs. Jeff Hardy. Winners face off Saturday on Collision along with Strong vs. Darby Allin or NIck Wayne.
Adam Page interviewed. Swerve Strickland soon interrupts and buries Page, claiming Page has gotten too comfortable in his spot and taking a back seat to The Elite. Strickland tries to goad Page into a challenge for his spot in the hierarchy but Page just brushes him off until Strickland tries to insult Page’s family. Page snaps but Brian Cage sneaks in for the beatdown.
Also Friday on Rampage: The Young Bucks vs. Angelo Parker & Matt Menard.
Also Saturday on Collision: Bullet Club Gold vs. TBA, Saraya Speaks (with Ruby Soho) and The Acclaimed Speaks.
Next week: Tournament Finals and Britt Baker, Hikaru Shida, Nyla Rose & Toni Storm in a 4-way for a shot at AEW Women’s Champion Saraya on 9/20.
Main Event: World Title Eliminator Tournament: Darby Allin vs. Nick Wayne
Result: Darby Allin beat Nick Wayne by ref stoppage. As a result, Allin will face Roderick Strong in the Semifinals Saturday on Collision. Right before the last commercial Christian Cage & Luchasaurus came out to join commentary.
While not as much All Out fallout as I hoped for, the show got the quick NYC build off to a good start and the matches were all above average or better. The MJF promo segment ran too long but as usual is must-see. Most of the show is at least worth watching.
Finally, announced during the show was that the Full Gear PPV will be on 11/18 at The Forum in Los Angeles.
