AEW Dynamite 2/14/24 Results

Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite in Austin, TX:

Updates below will begin at 5 PM PT/8 PM ET. (Side note: I’ve seen the premiere of their new YouTube series “Johnny Loves Taya”, which dropped today and stars Taya Valkyrie & Johnny TV. It’s only about 5 minutes long-give it a chance because it’s actually enjoyable! New episodes are to premier every Wednesday on YouTube)

Match 1: Jon Moxley vs. Dax Harwood
Result: Jon Moxley beat Dax Harwood by submission

Don Callis interviewed. He says he’s making Konosuke Takeshita vs. Will Ospreay soon, suggesting Ospreay will be part of his faction when he arrives from New Japan soon. (UPDATE: The match will happen at Revolution)

Match 2: Wardlow vs. a jobber (Barrett Brown)
Result: Wardlow beat Barrett Brown. Squash.

Footage of The Young Bucks arriving at a nearby airport earlier today. Wearing the blood-stained suits from the end of last week.

Match 3: Adam Copeland vs. Daniel Garcia
Result: No Contest. Nick Wayne & Killswitch interference. Christian Cage & Wayne’s mom followed for a beatdown on Garcia, then on Copeland as he made the save until he was low blowed by Wayne’s mom to set up a Conchairto.

Samoa Joe promo. Swerve Strickland follows with his comments on the 3-way at Revolution.

Toni Storm’s newest “film” premieres. Essentially a Storm-Deonna Purrazzo promo over their matching ankle tattoos. Purrazzo then reacts. This was much funnier than it should have been and had me laughing good.

Match 4: The Young Bucks vs. Top Flight
Result: The Young Bucks beat Top Flight. Nicholas Jackson pinned Darius Martin after EVP Trigger. The Bucks were interviewed backstage and threatened to fine Tony Schiavone for misconduct, then teased a EVP Trigger after he got knocked down, but Darby Allin made the save and made the rumored AEW Tag Team Championship between The Bucks and Allin/Sting official for Sting’s final match at Revolution.

Match 5: Willow NIghtingale vs. Skye Blue
Result: Willow Nightingale best Skye Blue

Main Event: AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy vs. Matt Taven in a NON-TITLE Texas Death Match. No pinfalls, win only by submission or KO
Result: Orange Cassidy beat Matt Taven by KO

Outside of the main event, this was a good show that I enjoyed and really got into. I don’t like the BCC-FTR angle perhaps being rushed to conclusion but Cash Wheeler likely has pending legal issues coming (going to face charges from a road rage incident in North Carolina last year that could result in up to 5 years in prison if convicted) so it’s understandable. Good build to Revolution tonight, and perhaps beyond.

Friday on Rampage at 7 PM ET/4 PM PT, with a repeat at 11:30 PM ET: Jeff Hardy vs. Sammy Guevara in a No DQ match and Queen Aminata vs. Anna Jay. The earlier time is due to NBA All-Star Weekend coverage on TNT. No Collision this weekend because of it. Collision returns next week.

Next week: Moxley/Castagnoli vs. FTR and Samoa Joe, Swerve Strickland & Brian Cage vs. Adam Page, Rob Van Dam & Hook.
