Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite in Pittsburgh, PA, which aired LIVE NATIONWIDE due to live soccer on TBS at 10 PM ET/7 PM PT thus pre-empting the taped west coast airing (simulcast of US men vs. Mexico, which also streamed on HBO Max):
Jungle Boy/Sammy Guevara/Darby Allin/MJF promo opens. This leads to MJF announcing a Four Pillars Tournament between the other 3 where the winner gets an AEW World Title shot at Double Or Nothing. Allin wins a random draw to get tonight’s winner next week.

Britt Baker & Jamie Hayter beat Toni Storm & Ruby Soho. Baker beat Soho with Lockjaw.

Wardlow beat AEW TNT Champion Powerhouse Hobbs to become THE NEW AEW TNT CHAMPION! Arn Anderson was in Wardlow’s corner and helped.

Jay White beat Komander. AEW debut for White. After the match, Tony Khan announced on Twitter that AEW has signed Komander.

Chris Jericho-Adam Cole confrontation ends with Jericho & Daneil Garvia beating down Cole and The Outcasts joining in, leading to Saraya beating Baker repeatedly with a Singapore cane while Cole was handcuffed to the ropes.

The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn beat Angelo Parker, Matt Menard & Jake Hager. Max Caster pinned Parker after Mic Drop. Had JAS won, The Acclaimed would’ve had to join JAS until Double Or Nothing.

Sammy Guevara beat Jungle Boy by countout. MJF interference prevented Jungle Boy from beating the countout. As a result, Guevara will face Darby Allin next week with the winner facing MJF for the title at Double Or Nothing.

The show was a bit better tonight than the last few weeks, but hour 1 was better overall. All the non-wrestling stuff tonight was great.

Next week: Allin-Guevara and AEW TBS Champion Jade Cargill vs. Taya Valkyrie for the title. I think this is where The Streak ends.

Saturday on Rampage (bumped from Friday due to NHL Playoffs on TNT) at 10 PM ET/PT: AAA Mega Champion El Hijo de Vikingo vs. Dralistico for the title, Jeff Jarrett/Jay Lethal/FTR vs. Varsity Athletes, Kiera Hogan vs. Julia Hart and Jon Moxley vs. Christopher Daniels.

Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite from Milwaukee, WI:

Darby Allin beat Swerve Strickland. Afterwards, MJF (whose participation was mandatory) appeared for a long promo segment.

AEW TNT Champion Powerhouse Hobbs beat Silas Young to retain the title. Squash. Wardlow returned afterwards and wrecked Hobbs’ car outside the venue then went in to fight.

AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy beat Buddy Matthews to retain the title. As a result, Cassidy will now defend Sunday in New Japan Pro Wrestling as an injury replacement for Eddie Kingston.

Jon Moxley & Claudio Castagnoli apparently beat Brandon Cutler & Michael Nakazawa although this wasn’t announced. Squash. The Elite returned afterwards.

Ruby Soho & Toni Storm beat Riho & Skye Blue. Storm pinned Blue after Storm Zero.

Chris Jericho beat Keith Lee. Interference from a mystery man, likely Strickland, helped.

This was an average episode overall. It was a show.

Friday on Rampage, which will air at 9:30 PM ET/6:30 PM PT OR after NBA Playoffs coverage on TNT: IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions Aussie Open vs. Best Friends for the tites, Taya Valkyrie vs. Emi Sakura, Jungle Boy vs. Shawn Spears, Mark Briscoe/Jeff Jarrett/Jay Lethal/Satnam Singh vs. TBA, FTR promo and Angelo Parker/Matt Menard promo. After this week no NBA pre-emptions are expected for at least 2 weeks. TBA on NHL pre-emptions as their regular season does not finish until Friday.

Next week: LIVE NATIONWIDE! Britt Baker & Jamie Hayter vs. Ruby Soho & Toni Storm and AEW TNT Champion Powerhouse Hobbs vs. Wardlow for the title.

Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite in Long Island, NY:

Before the show, it was announced that Nigel McGuinness signed with AEW as a commentator. This later led into Tony Khan’s “very important announcement”, which is the long-awaited England debut event will happen in late August at Wembley Stadium in London.

Ricky Starks vs. Juice Robinson never happened. Jay White showed up and laid out Starks. It was later announced on social media that White has signed with AEW.

AEW Trios Champions House Of Black beat Best Friends & Orange Cassidy to retain the titles. BuddY Matthews pinned Chuck Taylor.

AEW Women’s Champion Jamie Hayter beat Riho to retain the title.

MJF Day featured footage of MJF getting the key to Long Island, NY, a full band, speeches from a politician, MJF singing and more until the expected bad end, which came in the form of Jungle Boy disguised as a band member (and looking a lot like The Blade) to set up a fight broken up when Sammy Guevara came out for his match.

Sammy Gueveara beat Komander.

FTW Champion Hook beat Ethan Page to retain the title. Squash. Matt Hardy inadvertently helped Hook win.

Blackpool Combat Club beat 3 jobbers. We didn’t get names before it ended. Wheeler Yuta beat one of them. Squash. Afterwards, Bryan Danielson called out Adam Page and that set up the 4 on 1 BCC beatdown.

FTR beat AEW Tag Team Champions Gunn Club to become THE NEW AEW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! If FTR didn’t win the titles they would’ve had to leave AEW, which seemingly confirms they have signed new contracts with AEW.

Fine show but the McGuinness announcement essentially was a spoiler for the huge announcement. Unless you’re an England-based fan it was underwhelming.

Rampage is LIVE Friday followed immediately by Battle Of The Belts 6. Announced for BOTB 6: AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy vs. Dralistico for the title, AEW TBS Champion Jade Cargill vs. Billie Starkz for the title and ROH Tag Team Champions Lucha Bros vs. QT Marshall & Powerhouse Hobbs for the titles.

Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite in St. Louis, MO:

Jungle Boy beat Matt Hardy. MJF came out afterwards for a long promo segment with Jungle Boy, which was really good.

Blackpool Combat Club beat Dalton Castle & The Boys. Claudio Castagnoli pinned one of the Boys after a sitout powerbomb. Squash. Over in seconds.

IWGP US Heavyweight Champion Kenny Omega beat Jeff Cobb to retain the title. Bryan Danielson returned after the match for the first time since his loss at Revolution and helped with a BCC beatdown of Omega post-match, confirming he is still part of the group and is part of BCC’s ongoing heel turn.

AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy beat The Butcher to retain the title.

Ruby Soho beat Willow Nightingale. Jamie Hayter returned post-match to save Nightingale, Riho & Skye Blue from a heel beatdown after Riho & Blue initially tried to make the save. Hayter was out the last couple weeks due to visa issues (she had to return to England to resolve these. It happens every couple years for most of the foreigners in the US for all promotions).

Adam Cole beat Daniel Garcia. Britt Baker came out post-match to celebrate with her BayBay and as a final promotion for the premiere of AEW All-Access after the show, which was to focus on Cole & Baker (they have been dating for many years in real life).

Friday on Rampage (back at regular time this week): Sammy Guevara vs. Konosuke Takeshita, Best Friends vs. Kings Of The Black Throne, Taya Valkyrie vs. Marina Shafir and Juice Robinson vs. Action Andretti.

Next week: Robinson vs. Ricky Starks, AEW Women’s Champion Jamie Hayter vs. Riho for the title, AEW Tag Team Champions Gunn Club vs. FTR for the titles and if FTR loses they must leave AEW, BCC appearance and, since we’re back in Long Island, NY, it’s MJF Day! It’s his hometown after all so of course he’ll get the huge face treatment.I just know it’s going to end up being hilarious. Also an early reminder that Rampage will be LIVE next week along with the next Battle Of The Belts (we don’t know yet if that will be live or taped).

Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite in Independence, MO:

Darby Allin, Orange Cassidy & Sting beat Kip Sabian The Butcher & The Blade. Sting pinned Sabian after Scorpion Deathdrop.

AEW Tag Team Champions Gunn Club beat Top Flight to retain the titles. Austin Gunn pinned Dariua Martin after 3:10 To Yuma. The Kingdom interference set it up. Afterwards, FTR made a challenge for the titles with the stip that if they lose, they would leave AEW.

Jon Moxley beat Stu Grayson.

In a No DQ Match with The Firm banned from ringside, Hook beat Stokely Hathaway. Squash. Comedy match.

Toni Storm beat Skye Blue.

Kenny Omega beat El Hijo Del Vikingo. MOTY contender.

Average show overall excluding an A+ must-watch main event.

Saturday on Rampage (moved to Saturday at 10 PM ET because of soccer Friday night on TNT): Brody King vs. Jake Hager, Taya Valkyrie vs. Leila Grey, The Acclaimed vs. The Kingdom, AEW TNT Champion Powerhouse Hobbs vs. Penta El Zero M for the title and Ricky Starks appears.

Next week: Adam Cole vs. Daniel Garcia. More TBA on Rampage. AEW All-Access premieres after next week’s show.
