AEW Dynamite 3/6/24 Results

Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite in Duluth, GA:

Swerve Strickland comes out. After he finishes talking about Revolution and what’s next, namely still winning the AEW World Championship, Samoa Joe comes out. They tease another match right now before Undisputed Kingdom comes out. Adam Cole talks and eventually says Mike Bennett & Matt Taven vs. Strickland & Joe will happen next week. Then Tony Schiavone says, per Tony Khan, it’ll happen RIGHT NOW. Which led to…
Match 1: Samoa Joe & Swerve Strickland vs. Mike Bennett & Matt Taven
Result: Samoa Joe & Swerve Strickland ebat Mike Bennett & Matt Taven. Strickland pinned Taven after Swerve Stomp. Afterwards, Wardlow came out and Joe choked out Strickland as they stared down. Wardlow’s guaranteed title shot he earned at Revolution will come next week.

Hook interview immediately interrupted by Chris Jericho. Jericho puts Hook over before Hook heads to the ring.

Match 2: FTW Champion Hook vs. Brian Cage for the title
Result: FTW Champion Hook beat Brian Cage by submission to retain the title.

(I had to stop watching for a while at this point due to a personal issue that came up)

Match 3: Killswitch beat Matt Menard. Squash. Afterwards, Adam Copeland returned and chased off Christian Cage. Their 3rd AEW TNT Championship match is on 3/20 in Toronto and it’s an I Quit match. Adam Page also is suspended indefinitely from The Elite and Kenny Omega is out of the group.

The Young Bucks make their “Huge Announcement” promised earlier…Kazuchika Okada, formerly with New Japan, is now part of AEW AND The Elite.

Match 4: Riho beat Kris Statlander.

Darby Allin promo. He knows he may not survive his climbing Mt. Everest later this month so this might be his goodbye next week. Jay White interrupts and they put over their match next week.

House OF Black promo. Mark Briscoe then responds. Apparently he’s going to face ALL THREE OF THEM later this week in a street fight.

DEVELOPING: AEW Star Suspended Again

Sammy Guevara is living the dream outside the ting right now, with a hot wife and beautiful new baby girl, but he may be living another nightmare in the AEW ring…there are reports he has been suspended by AEW for a second time. Reportedly breaking concussion protocols in the ring. This stems from his match against Jeff Hardy on the 2/16 Rampage when Guevara kneed Hardy in the head on the shooting star press that ended the match. Hardy was injured by the move, reportedly a broken nose but not a concussion but that’s never been officially confirmed. The suspension must have happened after that as he last competed on the 2/24 Collision.

He was first suspended in 2020 when comments he made about the former Sasha Banks on a 2016 podcast resurfaced and has had his share of backstage issues, most notably with Eddie Kingston and the now-departed Andrade El Idolo.
