Here are the quick results from tonight’s LIVE NATIONWIDE AEW Dynamite from Daily’s Place (Jacksonville, FL):

As the show begins, The Young Bucks & Jack Perry are shown arriving earlier today. Security tries to keep Perry out but they get blown off.

Orange Cassidy comes out but gets a beatdown by Trent Beretta quickly. Chuck Taylor then comes out. Trent tells Taylor to make a decision and Taylor lays out Trent before demanding a parking lot fight because Taylor isn’t going to be medically cleared to compete. Trent leaves.

Jon Moxley promo.

Match 1; AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland vs. Kyle Fletcher in a NON-TITLE match. Usual “eliminator” gimmick meaning a title rematch for Fletcher if he wins
Result: Swerve Strickland beat Kyle Fletcher. Feed went out during split-screen commercial.

Next week: Kenny Omega returns. Hometown appearance (Winnipeg, Canada).

Thunder Rosa interviewd. Deonna Purrazzo interrupts and things quickly get heated.

Match 2: Mina Shirakawa (Stardom) vs. Anna Jay
Result: Mina Shirakawa beat Anna Jay. More split-screen issues. Anna broke up the post-match celebration and choked out Mariah May until Toni Storm made the save. Then Serena Deeb came out and sat next to the AEW Women’s Championship belt Storm left on the stairs of the entrance and called her shot to the camera.

Willow Nightingale Championship Celebration Mercedes Mone interrupts and tensions quickly boil over ahead of their AEW TBS Championship match at Double Or Nothing. Mone bitch-slaps Nightingale at the end. Very hot starting build.

Match 3: Casino Gauntlet Match. Staggered entry like a battle royal but first pinfall/submission wins and gets an AEW International Championship shot at Double Or Nothing.
Order of entry: Jay White, Dante Martin, Penta El Zero M, Kyle O’Reilly, Will Ospreay, Lance Archer, Komander, Jay Lethal
Result: Will Ospreay won by pinning Komander. As a result, Ospreay will face AEW International Champion Roderick Strong for the title at Double Or Nothing

Chris Jericho promo. He puts himself over as new FTW Champion and lays the roots for his next faction as The Learning Tree. Big Bill comes out wanting to be his first recruit.

Main Event: IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Jon Moxley vs. Powerhouse Hobbs for the title. 1 Hour time limit
Result: IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Jon Moxley beat Powerhouse Hobbs by ref stoppage (technical submission) to retain the title. V1 for Moxley.

Next week: FTW Champion Chris Jericho vs. Katsuyori Shibata for the title.

Jack Perry & Tony Khan face-to-face meeting in the ring follows the main event. About 7 minutes TV time left. They shook hands & hugged it out, which was the dead giveaway as Perry smiled at the camera. He then laid out Khan with a microphone punch to the midsection then The Elite came out. The Young Bucks hit a Meltzer Driver on Khan and left him laid out in the ring before leaving. Once they were gone the roster began spilling into the ring as we cut away. Commentary either was cut off or was dead silent after the driver.

There apparently were a lot of technical issues tonight. A lot was said about major audio issues but I had no such problems, just with no picture-in-picture during commercials. I could see the commercials fine but no matches. The lineup wasn’t much on paper but thankfully it was not as bad as it looked. Turned out to be an average to just-above-average show despite no real Dynasty fallout, but some of the Double Or Nothing build got off to a hot start, in particular with Mone-Nightingale. I loved the ending of course but the aforementioned women’s segment is must-see.

Saturday on Collision LIVE NATIONWIDE after NBA Playoffs coverage on TNT (or 8:30 PM ET/5:30 PM PT, whichever is later): Bullet Club vs. Top Flight & Action Andretti for the Trios Championships, Toni Storm vs. Anna Jay.
