Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite in Worcester, MA (SPOILERS for west coast viewers!):
Tonight was the annual “Fight For The Fallen” charity fundraiser episode. Unlike in years past, when the fundraisers were for military/veterans’ support organizations, this year’s charity was Oceana, which supports ocean preservation/conservation efforts. There was a Shark Week tie-in for new parent company Discovery with a campaign to ban shark fin trading or similar.
Interim AEW World Champion Jon Moxley beat Rush by ref stoppage to retain the title. Chris Jericho came out post-match to challenge for the title. That match will happen in 2 weeks.
The long-rumored AEW Trios Title is officially announced. A tournament is coming up to crown inaugural champions, wrapping up at All Out.
FTW Champion Ricky Starks beat Danhausen to retain the title. Squash. Starks made another open challenge afterwards. Which led to…
Hook beat FTW Champion Ricky Starks to become THE NEW FTW CHAMPION! Starks promo post-match after commercial interrupted when Powerhouse Hobbs laid out Starks. The promo before the shock ending was FIRE.
Sammy Guevara beat Dante Martin. Martin had Skye Blue in his corner to counter Tay Conti, which spectacularly backfired as the jobber did less than nothing.
Jungle Boy interview & Christian Cage promo. HEAT. This is a must-see.
Swerve Strickland beat Tony Nese & Smart Mark Sterling in a handicap match. Keith Lee was banned from ringside. Post-match, cameras showed Lee laid out backstage, apparently by Josh Woods.
Highlights from last night’s Dark, where Pac successfully defended the AEW All-Atlantic Championship.
AEW Women’s World Champion Thunder Rosa beat Miyu Yamashita to retain the title.
Daniel Garcia beat Bryan Danielson by technical submission. Finish set up by interference from Jake Hager, who was hiding under the ring.
AEW will make it’s Canada debut in October with a live Dynamite on 10/12 and a Rampage taping on 10/13, both in Toronto.
