Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite in Philadelphia. PA (Temple University):
Updates will begin at 5 PM PT/8 PM ET.
MJF interviewed by Renee Paquette to open the show. Roderick Strong interrupts briefly. The Devil briefly appears at the end.
No opening video, right to pyro and commentary opening.
Match 1: MJF vs. Juice Robinson for the Dynamite Diamond Ring
Result: MJF beat Juice Robinson to retain the Dynamite Diamond Ring for the next year. Afterwards, Gunn Club beatdown led to The Kingdom & The Acclaimed getting involved, MJF giving Gunn Club an ROH World Tag Team Championship match at Full Gear, accepting Jay White’s challenge for an 8-man tag match next week and MJF vs. Kenny Omega for the AEW World Championship Saturday at Collision.
Wardlow promo.
Match 2: Hook & Rob Van Dam vs. John Silver & Alex Reynolds
Result: Hook & Rob Van Dam beat John Silver & Alex Reynolds. Hook beat Silver with Redrum.
Toni Storm’s newest “film” plays during split-screen commercial, but it sounds like she has a title shot coming up at Full Gear on 11/18. What we don’t yet know is which title. And…is that…Luther as a butler? Haven’t seen him since the days of Streamerpentico before we knew for sure he was actually Jon Cruz the whole time!
Schiavone has his Stingasm and brings out Sting. Darby Allin is with him, right arm in a sling. Tony Khan’s gift to Sting is revealed and it’s…RIC FLAIR! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! But Christian Cage interrupts and makes a challenge to Sting & Allin for a 6-man tag at Full Gear, their choice of partner. Accepted.
Renee interview with Chris Jericho from earlier today.
Match 3: ROH 6-Man Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks & Adam Page vs. The Hardys & Brother Zay for the titles
Result: ROH 6-Man Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks & Adam Page beat The Hardys & Brother Zay to retain the titles. Matt Jackson pinned Zay after BTE Trigger. Immediately afterwards, a video played of Swerve Strickland & Prince Nana inside Page’s house as Page ran to the back. It ended with Strickland leaving a Mogul Embassy shirt in his baby son’s crib.
Adam Copeleand interviewed. Allin & Sting try to recruit him as their partner because he has lost his Edge.
Match 4: AEW Women’s Champion Hikaru Shida vs. Ruby Soho for the title
Result: AEW Women’s Champion Hikaru Shida beat Ruby Soho to retain the title. Toni Storm came out post-match. She gets ANOTHER AEW Women’s Championship shot at Full Gear, and it could very well come against Shida.
MJF interviewed backstage. Samoa Joe interrupts to offer to be MJF’s bodyguard Saturday, which MJF accepts. Then the catch: Joe wants a rematch for the AEW World Championship.
Main Event: Orange Cassidy & Kazuchika Okada (New Japan) vs. Bryan Danielson & Claudio Castagnoli
Result: Bryan Danielson & Claudio Castagnoli beat Orange Cassidy & Kazuchika Okada. Castagnoli pinned Cassidy after a European Uppercut.
During the main event another new PPV, Worlds’ End, is announced for 12/30 in the New York City/Long Island, NY area (Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum).
Friday on Rampage: Santana vs. Ortiz, Skye Blue vs. Willow Nightingale, Anna Jay & Abadon in a 4-way and MJF & Kenny Omega speak.
Saturday on Collision: AEW Women’s Champion Hikaru Shida vs. Friday’s 4-way winner for the title and AEW World Champion MJF vs. Kenny Omega for the title.
Next week: Cassidy-Castagnoli for the AEW International Championship.
This was a solid show that greatly overachieved, but Danielson was possibly injured in the main event and it looked like arm/wrist again and it completely ruined everything. It sucked the life out of the arena and commentary as Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, Rocky Romero & Hook all came out but despite the tensions cooler heads prevailed as we cut away. But there are understandably a lot of concerns about Danielson, and if Okada injured again, and sadly it made all the good stuff tonight not matter at all because this is what will be most remembered and talked about. I’m still trying to process everything myself. We’ll have to wait for updates and hope for the best for Danielson.
End Show.
UPDATE: After the show ended, Tony Khan posted on Twitter that Danielson left the ring and walked off under his own power without further specifics, but that is hopefully a good sign.
Also added to Rampage post-show is Kyle Fletcher vs. Konosuke Takeshita.
