Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite in Savannah, GA:
Samoa Joe comes out to open. Essentially an open challenge to everyone. Interrupted early on by Hook. Hook says he lost last week but there will be a rematch. Joe called security to send Hook off but Hook instead laid out a few before walking off.
Match 1: Penta El Zero M vs. Adam Page. Joe on commentary.
Result: Adam Page beat Penta El Zero M.
Orange Cassidy interviewed. He’ll defend the AEW International Championship against Roderick Strong at Revolution but won’t sit idle until then. He’ll defend Saturday on Collision against the winner of a match he had Tony Khan put together for Rampage. We’ll find out what that is later (or tomorrow). (It’s Kip Sabian, The Butcher, Komander & El Hijo Del Vikingo)
Match 2: Trent Beretta vs. Wardlow
Result: Wardloe beat Trent Beretta
Saturday on Collision: Bryan Danielson vs. Yuji Nagata (New Japan) and FTR & Daniel Garcia vs. House Of Black in an Elimination Escape The Cage Match.
Toni Storm & Deonna Purrazzo interviewed.
Jon Moxley promo. He’ll face Lee Moriarty Friday on Rampage.
Taya Valkyrie promo. She challenges Purrazzo to a match next week.
Match 3: Swerve Strickland vs. Jeff Hardy
Result: Swerve Strickland beat Jeff Hardy
Adam Page & Swerve Strickland will both be in Dealer’s Choice matches next week, meaning they will pick each other’s match.
Match 4: Thunder Rosa vs. Red Velvet
Result: Thunder Rosa beat Red Velvet
Sting & Darby Allin promo. Allin says they should be #1 in the tag team rankings when they come out again soon and should go for the AEW Tag Team Championship. Sting agrees.
Ricky Starks & Big Bill respond after commercial. Challenge accepted, but we don’t know when. It will be before Revolution though. (During the main event it was announced that match will be in 2 weeks in Phoenix, AZ for Dynamite)
Match 5: AEW Trios Champions The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn vs. Gates Of Agony & Brian Cage for the titles
Reslut: AEW Trios Champions The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn beat Gate Of Agony & Brian Cage to retain the titles. Gunn pinned Bishop Kaun after Mic Drop.
Main Event: Adam Copeland vs. Minoru Suzuki
Result: Adam Copeland beat Minoru Suzuki
Clearly they ran into time management issues going into the last half hour, even with overrun, and had to rush through the last 2 matches which weren’t great anyway. But it was a fine show overall considering the lack of star power, no doubt because Collision on Saturday airs opposite the WWE Royal Rumble PPV.
Also Friday: Christopher Daniels vs. Konosuke Takeshita & Anna Jay vs. Ruby Soho.
Also Saturday: Orange Cassidy vs. Friday’s 4-way winner for the AEW International Championship, Serena Deeb’s first match since March 2022 and Mariah May vs. Lady Frost.
Next week: Deonna Purrazzo vs. Taya Valkyrie and the Dealer’s Choice matches for Adam Page & Swerve Strickland.
