Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite 4th Anniversary event in Stockton, CA:
Renee Paquette interviews Chris Jericho & Kenny Omega backstage to start. Adam Copeland interrupts so we have a bunch of Canadians talking Canadian. Copeland has lost his Edge too.
Match 1: AEW International Champion Rey Fenix vs. Nick Jackson for the title
Result: AEW International Champion Rey Fenix beat Nick Jackson to retain the title.
Roderick Strong-Adam Cole comedy video. Cole’s ankle injury is legit. He’ll be out a while.
Match 2: Griff Garrison vs. (The Returning!) Wardlow
Result: Wardlow beat Griff Garrison by ref stoppage (KO).
Don Callis says Sammy Guevara is not cleared to compete tonight and is out. Kyle Fletcher is the replacement.
Strong-Cole segment replay due to what commentary says were audio issues on TBS. I didn’t notice any issues the first time (streaming on Apple TV).
Match 3: AEW Trios Champions The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn vs. The Butcher, The Blade & Kip Sabian for the titles
Result: AEW Trios Champions The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn beat The Butcher, The Blade & Kip Sabian to retain the titles.
Next week: Swerve Strickland vs. Bryan Danielson for an AEW TNT Title shot (#1 Contender match).
Toni Storm promo.
Bullet Club promo. They bring out MJF and he challenges them to a street fight. That brings out Jay White, who hits Bladerunner on MJF then challenges him for the AEW World Championship at Full Gear. MJF accepts.
Match 4: Chris Jericho & Kenny Omega vs. Konosuke Takeshita & Kyle Fletcher
Result: Chris Jericho & Kenny Omega beat Konosuke Takeshita & Kyle Fletcher. Omega pinned Fletcher after One Winged Angel. Powerhouse Hobbs cane out and beat down Jericho & Omega afterwards.
MJF interviewed in the trainer’s room as The Acclaimed walk in behind them. Max Caster tries to give MJF a shoulder massage but MJF freaks out. He tries to call Adam Cole but gets voicemail.
Match 5: Skye Blue vs. Toni Storm
Result: Toni Storm beat Skye Blue
Friday on Rampage: Jake Hager, Daniel Garcia, Angelo Parker & Matt Menard vs. The Hardys & Best Friends, Kris Statlander & Hikaru Shida vs. Nyla Rose & Marina Shafit and Johnny TV vs. Konamder, Penta El Zero M & Lince Dorado in a 4-way for an ROH World Championship shot.’
Saturday on Collision at a SPECIAL START TIME of 7 PM ET: FTR vs. Ricky Starks & Big Bill for the AEW Tag Team Titles and Toni Storm vs. Kiera Hogan.
Just added to Dynamite next Tuesday: Powerhouse Hobbs vs. Chris Jericho and Jay White vs. Adam Page. MLB Playoffs on TBS next Wednesday-this is the only scheduled postseason baseball pre-emption, anything further would be unscheduled if there are rainouts.
Adam Copeland speaks. He went right to the top of the hour then called out Christian Cage. He wanted them to team again one last time. They hugged out but then Cage turned against Copeland and brought out Lucahsaurus & Nick Wayne for a staredown. Copeland’s first AEW match is Tuesday vs. Luchasaurus although he will be at Collision Saturday. They went nearly 7 minutes on overrun.
It was another average show that felt like another letdown post-PPV, but the International Title match and tag team match were both good and are worth a look. The overrun provided a lot of intrigue so hopefully your DVR got that extra time, there were a lot of issues with TV listings for cable/satellite tonight so be prepared to perhaps seek the overrun out on YouTube.
End Show.
UPDATE: Callis’ comments on Guevara not being cleared were legit, as Guevara was injured at Sunday’s PPV. Concussion. Out indefinitely.
