AEW Dynamite 3/27/24 Results

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

Match 1: Will Ospreay vs. Katsuyori Shibata
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.

Match 3: Willow Nightingale vs. Kris Staltander, Anna Jay & Skye Blue in a 4-way for an AEW TBS Championship shot at the Dynasty PPV. Mercedes Mone on commentary
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.

AEW Dynamite & Rampage 3/20/24 Results

Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite and LIVE AEW Rampage from Toronto, Canada:

Dynamite:
Mercedes Mone comes out first. She introduces herself to fans with a video package of her past, not including WWE. Julia Hart & Skye Blue come out at the end and try to ambush Mone but it backfires. When they get chairs, Willow Nightingale & Kris Statlander rush out to make the save, but at the end Nightingale teases hitting Mone with a chair.

Match 1: AEW Continental Champion Eddie Kingston vs. Kazuchika Okada for the title (but not the Continental Crown. Interesting)
Result: Kazuchika Okada beat AEW Continental Champion Eddie Kingston to become THE NEW AEW CONTINENTAL CHAMPION! So apparently the Triple Crown is no longer as Kingston is still the ROH World Champion and NJPW STRONG Openweight Champion, with an ROH Title defense coming at the Supercard Of Honor PPV in April. After the match, Pac came out and stared down Okada.

Swerve Strickland interviewed backstage.

Kris Statlander & Willow Nightingale interviewed backstage before Mone interrupts.

Match 2: Hook vs. Chris Jericho
Result: Hook beat Chris Jericho

Adam Cole promo.

Jericho will have a proposition for Hook next week.

Will Ospreay interviewed in the ring. He talks Bryan Danielson & Katsuyori Shibata and this leads to a match against Shibata next week.

Match 3: Mariah May & Toni Storm vs. Deonna Purrazzo & Thunder Rosa
Result: Deonna Purrazzo & Thunder Rosa beat Mariah May & Toni Storm. Rosa pinned Storm.

Match 4; Swerve Strickland vs. TBA, which is revealed to be The Butcher
Result: Swerve Strickland beat The Butcher by submission. Afterwards Strickland calls out Samoa Joe and the champ comes out. They tease going at it but get interrupted by Don Callis, which leads to Strickland vs. Konosuke Takeshita next week.

Main Event: AEW TNT Champion Christian Cage vs. Adam Copeland in an I Quit match for the title. The only way to win is make your opponent say I Quit
Result: Adam Copeland beat AEW TNT Champion Christian Cage to become THE NEW AEW TNT CHAMPION!

I cared less than not at all about the main event and it was little more than hardcore garbage. Outside of that, it was a fine Dynamite, not awesome but definitely above average and I enjoyed the first 90 minutes.

Rampage:
Dynamite main event continues/concludes after what would have been the usual overrun cutoff. No Rampage opening due to Dynamite overrun.

Bullet Club promo.

The Acclaimed comes out to respond to Bullet Club. No Billy Gunn. They run down Bullet Club.

Match 1: AEW Tag Team Championship Tournament: Orange Cassidy & Trent Beretta vs. Kyle Fletcher & Powerhouse Hobbs
Result: Orange Cassidy & Trent Beretta beat Kyle Fletcher & Powerhouse Hobbs. Cassidy pinned Fletcher after Orange Punch.

Match 2; Katsuyori Shibata vs. TBA, which is Kevin Matthews
Result: Katsuyori Shibata beat Kevin Matthews. Squash.

Match 3: Konosuke Takeshita vs. Rocky Romero
Result: Konosuke Takeshita beat Rocky Romero

Main Event: Willow Nightingale & Kris Statlander vs. Julia Hart & Skye Blue in a street fight
Result: Julia Hart & Skye Blue beat Willow Nightingale & Kris Statlander. Hart beat Statlander with Heartless.

Despite getting the Dynamite overrun at the end, Rampage was way too rushed and was a victim of bad time management by AEW, weighing the show down and making it look and feel much worse than it actually was.

No Collision this week due to NCAA Basketball.

AEW Collision 3/16/24 Results

Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Collision in Ottawa, Canada:

Bryan Danielson beat Katsuyori Shibata.

AEW TBS Champion Julia Hart beat Trish Adora to retain the title. Adora’s House Rules stip was the loser would be banned from ringside in the House Of Black-Infantry match later. So that meant no Adora.

Daniel Garcia beat Lee Moriarty.

The Darby Allin injury from Dynamite was mentioned. Broken foot. No Mt. Everest this year and out a few months. It’s legit.

Pac beat Aaron Solo.

Claudio Castagnoli beat Lance Archer by DQ. The Righteous interference. Heel beatdown on Castagnoli & Danielson until Shibata made the save.

Kyle O’Reilly beat Bryan Keith.

AEW Tag Team Title Tournament: Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo beat Brody King & Buddy Matthews. Dean pinned Matthews after Mark Briscoe interference. As a result, Dean & Bravo will face FTR in the Quarterfinals.

Adam Copeland promo with a nail-laden 2×4 to end the show.

I missed the show due to a personal emergency.

Next week on Rampage on WEDNESDAY LIVE IMMEDIATELY AFTER DYNAMITE; Julia Hart & Slye Blue vs. Kris Statlander & Willow Nightingale.

BREAKING: AEW Star Won’t Die On Everest. Yet…

As most AEW fans know, the plan was for Darby Allin to have his potentially last AEW match this past Wednesday then climb Mt. Everest at the end of the month. That only will half happen. He had his potentially last AEW match but the Everest climb is off for this year because of what happened in said match…he got legit injured. Broken foot. So no Everest until 2025 and no AEW for at least a few months. But Darby Gonna Darby and he’s claiming he’ll do a skateboard trick off his cast as a fundraiser for charity.

AEW Dynamite 3/13/24 Results

Here are the quick results from tonight’s “Big Busine$$” episode of AEW Dynamite in Boston, MA:

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.

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.

AEW Dynamite 3/6/24 Results

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.

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.
