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:
