Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite from Quebec City, Canada:

Result: Will Ospreay beat Katsuyori Shibata

Match 2: AEW Tag Team Championship Tournament Quarterfinals: The Young Bucks vs. Private Party
Result: The Young Bucks beat Private Party. Both Bucks pinned Marq Quen after EVP Trigger.

Result: Willow Nightingale beat Kris Statlander, Anna Jay & Skye Blue in a 4-way by pinning Jay. As a result, Nightingale will face AEW TBS Champion Julia Hart for the title at the Dynasty PPV in April. Hart laid out Nightingale with a belt shot immediately afterwards.

Match 4: AEW Tag Team Championship Tournament: Best Friends vs. Undisputed Kingdom
Result: Best Friends beat Undisputed Kingdom

Main Event: Konosuke Takeshita vs. Swerve Strickland
Result: Swerve Strickland beat Konosuke Takeshita. As a result, Strickland will be #1 in the updated Rankings coming out after tonight and will face AEW World Champion Samoa Joe for the title at Dynasty.

Aside from Best Friends-Undisputed Kingdom, which I didn’t care about because Orange Cassidy, this was a very good show. Fewer matches because of no in action/squash stuff meant more time for everything else and it showed in how good they were for the most part. Takeshita-Strickland is must-see and check out Ospreay-Shibata. Episodes like this are ones I want to see more of.

Friday on Rampage: TBA.

Saturday on Collision: Ricky Starks & Big Bill vs. Top Flight and FTR vs. The Infantry in the Tournament Quarterfinals and NEW AEW TNT Champion Adam Copeland with the usual open challenge for the title.

Here are the quick results from tonight’s “Big Busine$$” episode of AEW Dynamite in Boston, MA:
The biggest worst kept secret in AEW is unveiled first-Mercedes Mone, fka Sasha Banks, is now part of AEW.

AEW World Champion Samoa Joe beat Wardlow by ref stoppage (technical submission) to retain the title.

The Young Bucks & Kazuchika Okada beat Pac, Penta El Zero M & Eddie Kingston. Okada pinned Kingston after Rainmaker.

Will Ospreay promo. Build to the upcoming Bryan Danielson match.

Jay White beat Darby Allin. This will be Allin’s last match for some time (if not ever in worst-case) as he is off to legit climb Mt. Everest at the end of the month. Post-match, Bullet Club finally turned on The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn.

Hook & Chris Jericho beat Gates Of Agony. Hook beat Bishop Kaun with Redrum.

Willow Nightingale beat Riho.

Due to a prior commitment, I was not able to watch the live broadcast. Therefore no comments/thoughts on the show yet.

Friday on Rampage: Orange Cassidy & Trent Beretta vs. Evil Uno & John Silver, Undisputed Kingdom vs. Top Flight & Action Andretti and Toni Storm & Mariah May vs. TBA.

Next week: Hook cs. Chris Jericho, AEW Continental Croan Champion Eddie Kingston vs. Kazuchika Okada for the titles, AEW TNT Champion Christian Cage vs. Adam Copeland in an I Quit Match for the title and Mercedes Mone appears.

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.

Main Event: Will Ospreay beat Kyle Fletcher. Bryn Danielson came out and stared down Ospreay in the ring as they cut away.

Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite in Huntsville, AL:

Adam Page addressed his status for Sunday’s 3-way at Revolution amidst rumors he was injured (he was not. Potentially was going to be last-second decision for the PPV due to personal reasons). He says he’s in.

Bryan Danielson, Claudio Castagnoli & Jon Moxley beat FTR by ref stoppage (technical submission). Danielson beat Kingston.

Will Ospreay AEW full-time debut. He aligns with Don Callis.

AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy beat Nick Wayne to retain the title.

Skye Blue beat Kris Statlander.

Chris Jericho beat Atlantis Jr. (CMLL)

Sting’s final Dynamite appearance was saving Ric Flair from a Young Bucks beatdown along with Darby Allin.

I didn’t watch the live show so no comments.

Also for Revolution: Powerhouse Hobbs vs. Wardlow & Lance Archer in a 3-way is now off. An All-Star Scramble is the replacement, which will be all three plus Chris Jericho, Hook, Brian Cage and 2 more TBA in an 8-way with the winner getting an AEW World Championship shot.

Saturday on a TAPED Revolution (taping right now): Penta El Zero M vs. Bryan Keith & Dante Martin in a 3-way, Best Friends & Daniel Garcia vs. Christian Cage, Killswitch, Nick Wayne & Brian Cage and Toni Storm & Deonna Purrazzo promos.

Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite in Tulsa, OK:

Match 1: Jon Moxley & Claudio Castagnoli vs. FTR
Result: Time Limit Draw

Orange Cassidy interviewed. Looks like he’ll face Mike Bennett tonight.

FTR interviewed. They want a rematch with BCC for Revolution. Moxley & Castagnoli interrupt as they are held back.

Match 2: Orange Cassidy vs. Mike Bennett
Result: Orange Cassidy beat Mike Bennett

Ric Flair arrives. He heads to talk to The Young Bucks.

Daniel Garcia interviewed. He gets the AEW TNT Championship match at Revolution, which brings out Christian Cage to try and talk him out of it. Cage sent Nick Wayne & Killswitch down for the beatdown but Garcia immediately put Wayne in a sharpshooter and Matt Menard made the save with a chair before Killswitch could get into the ring.

Match 3: Toni Storm vs. TBA (Sydni Winnell, a local)
Result: Toni Storm beat Sydni Winnell. Squash.

Match 4: Deonna Purrazzo vs. Madison Rayne
Result: Deonna Purrazzo beat Madison Rayne by submission. Match almost stopped when Rayne may have taken a DDT wrong and the doctor checked on Rayne, who seemed to be okay. They finished right away. Toni Storm attacked Purrazzo post-match.

Darby Allin & Sting promo.

Wardlow interviewed. Quickly becomes a very angry promo because he’s tired of screwjobs and wants his. This was really good and perhaps somewhat legit.

Rampage post-match comments with The Acclaimed & Bullet Club. Jay White proposed himself, Gunn Club & Billy Gunn in an 8-man tag for what would be this week’s Collision.

Added to Revolution: Meat Madness aka Wardlow vs. Powerhouse Hobbs.

Main Event: Hook, Rob Van Dam & Adam Page vs. Samoa Joe, Swerve Strickland & Brian Cage
Result: Samoa Joe, Swerve Strickland & Brian Cage beat Hook, Rob Dan Dam & Adam Page. Joe beat Van Dam with Coqina Clutch.

Clearly things didn’t go as planned tonight due to injuries and circumstances beyond their control. Not much I cared for tonight but I”ll give them a free pass this week. The Wardlow promo was must-see though.

Next week: Will Ospreay begins his full-time AEW run.

Friday on Rampage: Mariah May vs. Anna Jay, Roderick Strong vs. Jake Hager, The Young Bucks vs. TBA, a 3-way trios match and Sammy Guevara promo.

Saturday on Collision: Bryan Danielson vs. Jun Akiyama, Thunder Rosa vs. TBA and Serena Deeb vs. TBA.

UPDATE: After the show, AEW announced FTR vs. Shane Taylor & Lee Moriarty for Collision.

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.

Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite in Phoenix, AZ:

Match 1: Swerve Strickland vs. Adam Page. The winner will face AEW World Champion Samoa Joe for the title at Revolution
Result: 30 Minute Time Limit Draw. As a result, BOTH are #1 contenders and there will be a 3-way for the title at Revolution

Match 2: AEW Women’s Champion Toni Storm vs. Red Velvet in a NON-TITLE match. If Velvet wins she gets the first post-Revolution title shot. Deonna Purrazzo on commentary
Result :Toni Storm beat Deonna Purrazzo

Match 3: Jon Moxley, Bryan Danielson & Claudio Castagnoli vs. Hechicero, Volador Jr. & Mascara Dorada (CMLL)
Result: Jon Moxley, Bryan DanielsoN & Claudio Castagnoli beat Hechicero, Volador Jr. & Mascara Dorada. Castagnoli pinned Hechicero after a low blow.

After the match, they cut to backstage and catch the end of a Undisputed Kingdom beatdown on Chuck Taylor.

Tony Khan makes his BIG ANNOUNCEMENT…an event called Big Bu$iness on 3/13 in Boston. EPIC FAIL YET AGAIN.

Match 4; Chris Jericho vs. Konosuke Takeshita
Result: Konosuke Takeshita beat Chris Jericho by submission

Main Event: AEW Tag Team Champions Ricky Starks & Big Bill vs. Darby Allin & Sting in a Tornado Tag Match for the titles
Result: Darby Allin & Sting beat AEW Tag Team Champions Ricky Starks & Big Bill to become THE NEW AEW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! Sting pinned Starks after a scorpion deathdrop. Sting’s son came out to the ring to celebrate, but The Young Bucks cut that short with a baseball bat-fueled beatdown of all of them.

Strickland-Page is a definite MOTY contender and elevated what otherwise was another average but not bad Dynamite. It just took out a lot of energy from me. The big announcement fell flat for now but we’ll see what happens in 5 weeks, I guess.

Friday on Rampage: Best Friends vs. Undisputed Kingdom.

Saturday on Collision: Jon Moxley & Claudio Castagnoli vs. 2 more of those CMLL guys (Star Jr. & Esfinge) and AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy vs. Tomohiro Ishii (New Japan) for the title (announced last week).

Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite in New Orleans, LA:

Match 1: Jon Moxley vs. Jeff Hardy
Result: Jon Moxley beat Jeff Hardy by ref stoppage (technical submission). 3-4 wrestlers from Mexico’s CMLL promotion are ringside in the crowd and post-match, Moxley taunted them (he also did so during the match) and they hit the ring for a beatdown until Matt Menard, Christopher Daniels and others made the save.

Match 2: Adam Page (with MUSTACHE!) vs. Toa Liona
Result: Adam Page beat Toa Liona

Match 3: Wardlow vs. Komander (last-second add to show during opening match)
Result: Wardlow beat Komander

Ricky Starks/Big Bill & Sting/Darby Allin sitdown interview.

Match 4: Chris Jericho vs. Kyle Fletcher
Result: Chris Jericho beat Kyle Fletcher

Match 5; Deonna Purrazzo vs. Taya Valkyrie. Toni Storm on commentary
Result: Deonna Purrazzo beat Taya Valkyrie by submission

Darby Allin interviewed backstage, interrupted immediately by The Young Bucks.

Main Event: Swerve Strickland vs. Adam Page’s choice, which as expected from his promos last week is Rob Van Dam. Page appeared on video before the bell to tell Strickland it’s a hardcore match. Samoa Joe on commentary
Result: Swerve Strickland beat Rob Van Dam. Afterwards, Tony Khan made Strickland-Adam Page 3 for next week and the winner faces Samoa Joe for the AEW World Championship at Revolution.

It was another Dynamite that happened. Nothing terrible but nothing I cared for. Straight-down-the-middle average. I did miss Jericho-Fletcher due to a personal issue that I had to tend to.

Next week: The return of the TONY KHAN HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT! Cue some potential Kazuchika Okada speculation.

UPDATE: The Rankings were announced after the show ended on the socials. Check them out below:

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

Samoa Joe comes out to open. Essentially an open challenge to everyone. Interrupted early on by Hook. Hook says he lost last week but there will be a rematch. Joe called security to send Hook off but Hook instead laid out a few before walking off.

Match 1: Penta El Zero M vs. Adam Page. Joe on commentary.
Result: Adam Page beat Penta El Zero M.

Orange Cassidy interviewed. He’ll defend the AEW International Championship against Roderick Strong at Revolution but won’t sit idle until then. He’ll defend Saturday on Collision against the winner of a match he had Tony Khan put together for Rampage. We’ll find out what that is later (or tomorrow). (It’s Kip Sabian, The Butcher, Komander & El Hijo Del Vikingo)

Match 2: Trent Beretta vs. Wardlow
Result: Wardloe beat Trent Beretta

Saturday on Collision: Bryan Danielson vs. Yuji Nagata (New Japan) and FTR & Daniel Garcia vs. House Of Black in an Elimination Escape The Cage Match.

Toni Storm & Deonna Purrazzo interviewed.

Jon Moxley promo. He’ll face Lee Moriarty Friday on Rampage.

Taya Valkyrie promo. She challenges Purrazzo to a match next week.

Match 3: Swerve Strickland vs. Jeff Hardy
Result: Swerve Strickland beat Jeff Hardy

Adam Page & Swerve Strickland will both be in Dealer’s Choice matches next week, meaning they will pick each other’s match.

Match 4: Thunder Rosa vs. Red Velvet
Result: Thunder Rosa beat Red Velvet

Sting & Darby Allin promo. Allin says they should be #1 in the tag team rankings when they come out again soon and should go for the AEW Tag Team Championship. Sting agrees.

Ricky Starks & Big Bill respond after commercial. Challenge accepted, but we don’t know when. It will be before Revolution though. (During the main event it was announced that match will be in 2 weeks in Phoenix, AZ for Dynamite)

Match 5: AEW Trios Champions The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn vs. Gates Of Agony & Brian Cage for the titles
Reslut: AEW Trios Champions The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn beat Gate Of Agony & Brian Cage to retain the titles. Gunn pinned Bishop Kaun after Mic Drop.

Main Event: Adam Copeland vs. Minoru Suzuki
Result: Adam Copeland beat Minoru Suzuki

Clearly they ran into time management issues going into the last half hour, even with overrun, and had to rush through the last 2 matches which weren’t great anyway. But it was a fine show overall considering the lack of star power, no doubt because Collision on Saturday airs opposite the WWE Royal Rumble PPV.

Also Friday: Christopher Daniels vs. Konosuke Takeshita & Anna Jay vs. Ruby Soho.

Also Saturday: Orange Cassidy vs. Friday’s 4-way winner for the AEW International Championship, Serena Deeb’s first match since March 2022 and Mariah May vs. Lady Frost.

Next week: Deonna Purrazzo vs. Taya Valkyrie and the Dealer’s Choice matches for Adam Page & Swerve Strickland.
