Here ate the quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite in Jacksonville, FL (Homecoming house show event at Daily’s Place):

Match 1: Adam Page vs. Claudio Castagnoli
Result: Adam Page beat Claudio Castagnoli

Match 2: Lance Archer, Brian Cage & Gates Of Agony vs. Preston Vance, Adam Copeland, Orange Cassidy & Dustin Rhodes
Result: Preston Vance, Dustin Rhodes, Adam Copeland & Orange Cassidy beat Brian Cage, Gates Of Agony & Lance Archer. Vance pinned Bishop Kaun after Discus Lariat.

Samoa Joe promo. Swerve Strickland interrupts. So does Adam Page. Both make challenges. When they leave and the promo is about to end…so does Hook.

Match 3: Sammy Guevara vs. Ricky Starks
Result: Sammy Guevara beat Ricky Starks. Afterwards, they share a handshake which set up a Big Bill beatdown on Guevara but Chris Jericho quickly made the save. Jericho & Bill brawled all over the place while Jericho’s music played the entire time, which I thought was funny. And actually clever.

Tony Khan makes Joe vs. Hook for the AEW World Championship official for Dynamite next week. Of course the week I have to miss the show! (I will be on vacation and traveling)

Match 4: Thunder Rosa, Willow NIghtingale, Kris Statlander & Anna Jay vs. Julia Hart, Skye Blue, Saraya & Ruby Soho
Result: Thunder Rosa, Willow NIghtingale, Kris Statlander & Anna Jay beat Julia Hart, Skye Blue, Saraya & Ruby Soho. Jay beat Blue with Queenslayer.

Match 5: Roderick Strong vs. a jobber (Bryan Keith)
Result: Roderick Strong beat Bryan Keith. Glorified squash. Adam Cole promo afterwards.

Deonna Purrazzo makes her in-ring debut Saturday on Collision. Possibly against Red Velvet.

Main Event: Darby Allin & Sting vs. Konosuke Takeshita & Powerhouse Hobbs in a Tornado Tag match. Anything goes. TV Time Remaining with 5 minute overrun
Result: Darby Allin & Sting beat Konosuke Takeshita & Powerhouse Hobbs. Sting pinned Hobbs after a scorpion deathdrop through a table. They used the overrun to perhaps reveal the final opponent for Sting at Revolution, but they were interrupted by the returning Young Bucks. They just stared for a couple minute before leaving, enough to hint at perhaps a tag team match assuming Allin hasn’t taken off to climb Mt. Everest yet as he plans to.

While I didn’t really care for the matches announced in advance, Daily’s Place makes for great TV with its layout, fans and ambience so I enjoyed the show just for that. The matches generally were average but not terrible. Page-Castagnoli was the best match of the night and the Joe segment was hot. Skip the main event and the Strong squash which was not announced ahead of time. I give tonight a B- just for the fans & atmosphere.

Friday on Rampage: TBA but maybe Eddie Kingston vs. Wheeler Yuta for the Continental Crown.

Saturday on Collision in Norfolk, VA: Adam Copeland vs. TBA (open challenge), Adam Page appears, Deonna Purrazzo vs. Red Velvet and ROH 6-Man Tag Team Champions Gates Of Agony & Brian Cage vs. Lance Archer & The Righteous for the titles.
On Battle Of The Belts 9 immediately after Collision: AEW Tag Team Champions Ricky Starks & Big Bill vs. Chris Jericho & Sammy Guevara for the titles and AEW TBS Champion Julia Hart vs. Anna Jay for the title.

Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite in Newark, NJ:

Samoa Joe promo. Recorded backstage after the PPV Saturday.

Adam Cole promo.

AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy beat Dante Martin to retain the title. After the match, Private Party returned (including Marq Quen, back from a long layoff due to injury).

Mariah May beat Queen Aminata. Afterwards, Deonna Purrazzo debuted in AEW by interrupting a post-match interview. Later on she got the #AllElite graphic on the socials.

Konosuke Takeshita beat Darby Allin.

Trent Beretta beat Brian Cage, Bryan Keith & El Hijo Del Vikingo in a 4-way by pinning Keith. As a result, Beretta will face Eddie Kingston for the AEW Continental Championsihp/NJPW STRONG Openweight Championship/ROH World Championship Saturday on Collision.

Swerve Strickland beat Daniel Garcia. Prince Nana low blowed Garcia post-match during an apparent handshake, then after Matt Menard tried to make the save but was sent packing Adam Page came out. Page & Strickland fought as security tried to separate them to end the show.

Here are the quick results from tonight’s New Year’s Smash episode of AEW Dynamite in Orlando, FL:

Match 1: Continental Classic Gold Block Finals: Jon Moxley vs. Swerve Strickland & Jay White in a 3-way
Result: Jon Moxley beat Swerve Strickland & Jay White in a 3-way by pinning White. As a result, Moxley will face Eddie Kingston or Bryan Danielson in the Finals Saturday at the Worlds End PPV.

Strickland intervewed backstage. He will now face Keith Lee Saturday.

Mariah May interviewed. She plans to make her in-ring debut next week. Riho then interrupts and runs her off, Toni Storm tries to make the save but gets sent packing by Riho.

Top Flight & Action Andretti promo. Orange Casside interrupts with Trent Beretta & Rocky Romero. Trios match on Rampage. Andretti impressively chugs then crushes a small (12-16 oz) water bottle. Must-see.

Miro promo. He will face Andrade El Idolo Saturday.

The Callous Hand Of Don hosts a Boxing Week Celebration in the ring for his family, much to Tony Schiavone’s (hilarious) dismay. Sammy Guevara returns to try and crash the party and gets a beatdown until Chris Jericho makes the save, but then Ricky Starks & Big Bill hit the ring for a beatdown until the lights go out, but instead of House Of Black it was Darby Allin & Sting to make the save.

Match 2: Continental Classic Blue Block Finals: Bryan Danielson vs. Eddie Kingston
Result: Eddie Kingston beat Bryan Danielson

Match 3: Skye Blue beat Kris Statlander.

The Adam Copeland-Christian Cage interview started with Copeland no-showing, then storming in and it became a brawl.

Main Event: The Devil’s Masked Men beat ROH Tag Team Champions MJF & Samoa Joe (for Adam Cole) to become THE NEW ROH TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! Essentially just MJF vs. both as Joe was taken out first thing. After The Devil appeared on screen post-match, Joe turned on MJF.

Due to receiving word of a death in my family I had to stop watching after Danielson-Kingston began, so everything from then on I was not able to watch live.

Friday on Rampage: Top Flight & Action Andretti vs. Best Friends and Ruby Soho vs. Marina Shafir.

No Collision this week because of the Worlds End PPV Saturday.

Here are the quick results from tonight’s “Holiday Bash” AEW Dynamite from Oklahoma City, OK:

Match 1: Continental Classic Gold Block: Swerve Strickland vs. Rush. Strickland advances to Semifinals with win. Rush must win and Jon Moxley must lose
Result: Swerve Strickland beat Rush
Strickland is 4-1, 12 points. Rush is 3-2, 6 points. That means if Moxley loses tonight, there is a 3-way tie for 1st and we may need a tiebreaker match (Moxley beat Strickland but would have lost to White, Strickland beat White but lost to Moxley)

Match 2: Continental Classic Gold Block: Mark Briscoe vs. Jay Lethal. Both eliminated from contention already
Result: Mark Briscoe beat Jay Lethal
Briscoe is 1-4, 3 points. Lethal is 0-5, 0 points.

MJF & Samoa Joe in the ring. The Devil’s masked men hit the ring but get fought off then The Devil appears on the screen with a challenge for the ROH World Tag Team Championship next week. MJF & Joe accept.

Toni Storm joins commentary for the next match.

Match 3: Saraya vs. Riho. The winner faces Storm for the AEW Women’s Championship on 12/30
Result: Riho beat Saraya. As a result, it’s Storm vs. Riho on 12/30 for the title. Riho laid out Storm before Mariah May laid out Riho.

Storm’s exit was interrupted by Tony Schiavone reading a prepared statement from Christian Cage, who claims he’ll be back on Collision.

MJF & Samoa Joe argue backstage then split up before MJF sees a ski mask on the ground in front of Mogul Embassy’s locker room. When Prince Nana answers MJF physically threatens him, leading to a confrontation with Swerve Strickland. MJF goes so far to suggest Strickland is The Devil and framed Adam Page as The Devil to get to MJF before Joe breaks it up.

Match 4: Roderick Strong vs. Komander
Result: Roderick Strong beat Komander

Saturday on Collision: Thunder Rosa & Abadon vs. Julia Hart & Skye Blue, Brian Cage vs. Keith Lee, Chrsitian Cage appears, AEW Trios Champions The Acclaimed vs. Top Flight & Action Andretti for the titles, and the last Continental Classic Blue Block matches: Claudio Castagnoli vs. Bryan Danielson, Brody King vs. Daniel Garcia and Andrade El Idolo vs. Eddie Kingston.

Jim Ross returns to join commentary for the main event.

Main Event: Continental Classic Gold Block: Jay White vs. Jon Moxley. Moxley has advanced. White must win to force a 3-way tiebreaker
Result: Jay White beat Jon Moxley
Both are 4-1, 12 points. As a result, because of tiebreakers, the Gold Block Final next week will be a 3-way between Moxley, Strickland and White.

Like each of the last 4 weeks with the tournament, not a great show but a good 2 hours. My only real complaint was there were technical issues with the broadcast cutting out or freezing at the start of each match except the main event. Otherwise it was another solid Dynamite, not as good as the first 2 weeks of the tournament but not off by very much.

Friday on Rampage: AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy vs. Rocky Romero for the title. Everything else TBA.

UPDATE: El Hijo Del Vikingo vs. Black Taurus may also be another match for Rampage.

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

Samoa Joe comes out right away to start. No opening video, pyros, etc. He calls out Adam Page, who comes out. Tensions interrupted by Roderick Strong who comes out and claims MJF is the devil. Page cuts him off with a forearm shot just before a referee comes out. Joe leaves and Strong ambushes Page from behind to lead to…
Match 1: Roderick Strong vs. Adam Page
Result: Adam Page beat Roderick Strong

Match 2: Continental Classic Blue Block: Brrody King vs. Andrade El Idolo
Result: Andrade El Idolo beat Brody Kiong
Andrade is 3-0, 9 points. King is 2-1, 6 points. Because of his win in their earlier match, Andrade has the presumptive tiebreaker over Bryan Danielson, who is also at 6 points.

Chris Jericho & Kenny Omega promo. They call out and get Ricky Starks & Big Bill. This all leads to Jericho & Omega cashing in their guaranteed AEW Tag Team Championship shot for Worlds End on 12/30.

Toni Storm joins commentary for the next match.

Match 3: Ruby Soho vs. Riho
Result: Riho beat Ruby Soho

Wardlow promo.

Match 4: Continental Classic Gold Block: Rush vs. Jay Lethal. Rush must win to stay in contention

Rush is 2-2, 6 points. Lethal is 0-4, 0 points.

Result: Jay White beat Mark Briscoe
White is 3-1, 9 points. Briscoe is 0-4, 0 points.

Main Event: Continental Classic Gold Block: Swerve Strickland vs. Jon Moxley
Result: Jon Moxley beat Swerve Strickland
Moxley is 4-0, 12 points. Strickland is 3-1, 9 points. Moxley will win the block unless he loses to Jay White in his last match and a lot of other crazy stuff happens.

Adam Page beatdown outside by the masked attackers. The Devil appears out of a car before Page is slammed onto the hood of the car. They blew past their allowed 5 minute overrun here and abruptly cut away.

Not a great show again despite Tony Khan’s social media promises, but another good show. The Von Erichs appeared but their spot was wasted by Orange Cassidy & Danhausen interrupting even though it sets up the Von Erichs to appear on Rampage Friday. All the tournament matches were good as usual but a slight step down from prior matches. The first and last matches are must-see.

Friday on Rampage: TBA.

Saturday on Collision: Blue Block matches-Andrade vs. Claudio Castagnoli, Eddie Kingston vs. Daniel Garcia and King vs. Bryan Danielson.

Here are the quick results from tonight’s ARW Dynamite in Montreal, Canada:

Match 1: Continental Classic Gold Block: Jon Moxley vs. Rush
Result: Jon Moxley beat Rush by ref stoppage (technical submission).
Moxley is 3-0, 9 points. Rush is 1-2, 3 points. This means some losers tonight will potentially be eliminated from Finals contention.

The Kingdom interviewed.

MJF/Adam Page go at it verbally until Samoa Joe breaks it up. MJF thinks Page is The Devil.

Match 2: Continental Classic Gold Block: Mark Briscoe vs. Swerve Strickland
Result: Swerve Strickland beat Mark Briscoe
Strickland is 3-0, 9 points. Briscoe is 0-3, 0 points and can’t advance to the Finals.

Samoa Joe comes out for his match but the lights go out and The Devil’s Masked Men surround the ring. Lights go out again and when they come back on, they’re gone. We then see Joe alone in the ring and The Devil appears on the screen above the entrance area, cutting to MJF having been laid out, apparently by a broken beer bottle.

Jon Moxley promo. Swerve Strickland interrupts. Somebody’s 0 Has Got To Go and it’ll be next week at Winter Is Coming.

Match 3: AEW Women’s Champion Toni Storm vs. Skye Blue for the title
Result: AEW Women’s Champion Toni Storm beat Skye Blue to retain the title. Next up: Possibly Riho, who returned post-match to crash the victory celebration.

Match 4: Continental Classic Gold Block: Jay Lethal vs. Jay White
Result: Jay White beat Jay Lethal
White is 2-1, 6 points. Lethal is 0-3, 0 points and can’t advance to the Finals.

Friday on Rampage: Powerhouse Hobbs & Konosuke Takeshita vs. Christopher Dnaiels & Matt Sydal, Abadon vs. Trish Adora, Bryan Danielson vs. Daniel Garcia in the Continental Classic and Orange Cassidy & Danhause

Next week: Srickland-Moxley, White-Briscoe and Rush-Lethal in the Classic. Also Samoa Joe Speaks and The Von Erichs return to Dallas, plus Adam Page vs. Roderick Strong.

Main Event: AEW TNT Champion Christian Cage vs. Adam Copeland for the title
Result: AEW TNT Champion Christian Cage beat Adam Copeland to retain the title. Screwjob of course, in this case when Nick Wayne’s mom came out and turned on Copeland.

As a whole the show was average to just above average again. Not a bad show but outside of the Continental Classic, which continues to be solid if unspectacular, there’s nothing to care about. The main event finish was a big Go F*ck Yourself to all the non-Christian fans, and the fans in general. Not Best For Business and the live business is struggling for AEW right now regardless of how Tony Khan spins it.

Next week is the annual Winter Is Coming special.

Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite in Minneapolis, MN:

Bryan Danielson is a guest on commentary tonight.

Match 1: Continental Classic: Jon Moxley vs. Jay Lethal

Moxley is 2-0, 6 points. Lethal is 0-2, 0 points.

Revolution 2024 is announced for 3/3 in Greensboro, NC. Tickets on sale 12/15, Sting & Ric Flair interviewed to promote it as it will be Sting’s last match.

Match 2: Continental Classic: Mark Briscoe vs. Rush
Result: Rush beat Mark Briscoe
Rush is 1-1, 3 points. Briscoe is 0-2, 0 pts.

Toni Storm interviewed. She will be defending the AEW Women’s Championship next week.

MJF comes out. He puts over Samoa Joe before throwing down for their PPV match then the lights go out and he gets ambushed by the masked men, one wearing a shirt with the devil logo on the back. That one has a baseball bat but Samoa Joe makes the save. This seems to set up a tag team match for next week, so we might find out who it (The Devil) is.

After commercial, commentary spins what happened as it being an internal job and that IT security is on the case. The match for next week is official.

Match 3: Wardlow vs. AR Fox
Reslut: Wardlow beat AR Fox. Squash.

Match 4: The Hardys & Brother Zay vs. Top Flight & Action Andretti
Match 4: Top Flight & Action Andretti beat The Hardys & Brother Zay. Dante Martin pinned Zay.

Result: AEW TBS Champion Julia Hart beat Emi Sakura to retain the title.

Mariah May interviewed backstage before stepping into Tony Khan’s area.

Christian Cage comes out. He called out Adam Copeland and got him. Long drawn-out promo leads to Cage suggesting they team once more for Copeland’s mom then goes for the cheap shot but clearly gets caught.

Main Event: Continental Classic: Jay White vs. Swerve Strickland
Result: Swerve Strickland beat Jay White
Strickland is 2-0, 6 points. White is 1-1, 3 points

A solid top-to-bottom episode overall, the non-wrestling stuff ran too long (Christian-Copeland and Sting-Flair interview) but all the matches were good. The tournament is making a slightly positive difference so far.

Friday on Rampage: TBA. They didn’t announce anything during the show or I missed it.

Here are the quick results from tonight’s ARW Dynamite in Chicago:

Match 2: Angelo Parker, Matt Menard & Jake Hager vs. Hook, Katsuyori Shibata & Orange Cassidy
Before the match, Cassidy brings out Danhausen, back after being out most of the year due to injury.

Match 3: Continental Classic: Rush vs. Jay White
Result: Jay White beat Rush
White is 1-0, 3 points. Rush is 0-1, 0 points

Toni Storm Championship Acceptance Speech. Thankfully this is very short and unceremoniously cur off by Skye Blue heading to the ring for the next match. (They are starting to run up against time now, less than 25 minutes TV time left and they still have 2 matches)

Match 4: Skye Blue vs. Anna Jay & Ruby Soho in a 3-way

Wardlow interviewed backstage. AR Fox interrupts for some reason and gets laid out.

5 minute overrun on TV. Moxley is 1-0, 3 points. Briscoe is 0-1, 0 points.

Saturday on Collision: Blue Block-STRONG Openweight Champion Eddie Kingston vs. Brody King for the title and Daniel Garcia vs. Claudio Castagnoli. Collision will air at regular time after the LIVE Rampage at 7 PM ET.

This show started off fine then went completely off a cliff. Not really worth watching except the first match, maybe the main event, and the MJF/Cole/Joe segment.

Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite in Ontario, CA:

Match 1: Jon Moxley & Wheeler Yuta vs. Orange Cassidy & Hook
Result: Jon Moxley & Wheeler Yuta beat Orange Cassidy & Hook. Yuta pinned Hook with a seatbelt.

Adam Page-Swerve Strickland staredown. If either got violent with the other, both are banned the rest of the year and their PPV match Saturday is off. That didn’t happen because Page cut a straight fire promo and also found a loophole-nothing about Prince Nana in there, so Page got a free beatdown on Nana until security broke it up.

Match 2: Skye Blue vs. Red Velvet. The winner gets added to a 3-way Saturday for the AEW TBS Championship against Kris Statlander & Julia Hart
Result: Skye Blue beat Red Velvet. As a result, Blue will face AEW TBS Champion Kris Statlander & Julia Hart in a 3-way for the title at Full Gear.

Miro promo.

RJ City introduces Mariah May to Toni Storm backstage. Storm is having none of it, then demands Luther talk to Tony Khan and book her in a match for Friday.

Result: Kenny Omega, Chris Jericho, Kota Ibushi & Paul Wight beat Brian Cage, Kyle Fletcher, Powerhouse Hobbs & Konosuke Takeshita. Omega pinned Cage after One Winged Angel.

MJF is main event segment, which is next.

Friday on a LIVE Collision: Dax Hardwood (actually said that on broadcast) vs. Rush, Saraya & Ruby Soho vs. HIkaru Shida & Kris Statlander, Miro vs. Daniel Garcia. Then on a LIVE Rampage: MJF and Jay White interviews and Toni Storm vs. Emi Sakura. More to come on the socials.

MJF promo. Jay White comes out at the end and sets up the Bullet Club beatdown to end the show. Samoa Joe is watching on the monitor backstage as we cut away.

This show didn’t do much for me especially as a PPV go-home, but it wasn’t a bad show. Everything was average or better, the tag match and women’s match are worth watching (the tag match was really good). I didn’t care much for the street fight. Viewer discretion on this one but there’s nothing you need to or should skip outside of a couple quick squashes.

LIVE results for Collision Friday at 8 PM ET and Rampage at 10 PM ET Friday are scheduled. A PPV preview special follows at 11 PM ET, all on TNT. All will be TAPED on the west coast.

UPDATE: After the show, AEW announced on the socials that they’ve officially signed Kota Ibushi.

Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite in Portland, OR:

Match 2: Darby Allin & Sting vs. The Outrunners
Result: Darby Allin & Sting beat The Outrunners. Squash.

Toni Storm & Hikaru Shida interview with Tony Schiavone. Pre-recorded and in black & white per Strom’s demand. Contract signed for Full Gear.

Match 3: Swerve Strickland vs. Penta El Zero M. During entrances commentary announced Adam Page is banned from ringside
Result: Swerve Strickland beat Penta El Zero M. Afterwards, Adam Page came out and attacked Strickland with a chair, also using it on security as they intervened before sending Strickland off the stage and through a table with Deadeye.

Don Callis-Kenny Omega promo. They incorporated footage from the video game “Yakuza: Like A Dragon”, which elevated the typically high promo video quality even further.

Renee Paquette interviews Chris Jericho & Kenny Omega but The Young Bucks interrupt quickly. They eventually talk into a tag match at Full Gear-if Jericho & Omega win, The Bucks lose their guaranteed future AEW Tag Team Championship opportunity. If The Bucks win, Jericho & Omega must split up. Renee REALLY enjoyed this.

Match 4: ROH TV Champion Samoa Joe vs. Keith Lee for the title
Result: ROH TV Champion Samoa Joe beat Keith Lee by ref stoppage (technical submission) to retain the title. Afterwards, Joe announced the ROH TV Championship is now VACANT. He’s giving it up to go after the AEW World Championship.

Main Event: Jay White vs. Mark Briscoe for White’s AEW World Championship shot at Full Gear
Result: Jay White beat Mark Briscoe to keep his title shot. MJF cleaned house afterwards until White bailed. After this, masked assailants attacked The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn backstage as “The Devil” appeared again to close this clip. MJF ran to the back and found The Acclaimed & Gunn laid out (Anthony Bowens got thrown through a window here) as Samoa Joe walked in on cue, smirked and walked off to end the show.

Next week: Jon Moley & Wheeler Yuta vs. Orange Cassidy & Hook.

Friday on a LIVE Rampage from Oakland, CA: FTR vs. El Hijo Del Vikingo & Komander. Saturday’s Collision will be TAPED after the show. Spoilers to follow Saturday morning.

As the show wound down, Mariah May got the #AllElite graphic on social media. Those who don’t follow Stardom or the international scene closely probably haven’t heard of her. Understandable.

A better show than last week, everything was consistently at or above average with nothing bad or that you need to skip. Strickland-Penta and Joe-Lee were really good matches. Right between C+ & B- but no real complaints.
