AEW Dynamite comes on the air with a memorial graphic for the legendary Terry Funk as Excalibur welcomes us alongside Tony Schiavone and Taz, while the music for The Elite hit and we’re ready for our opening contest.

Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) vs. Juice Robinson & The Gunns (Austin & Colten) never officially began

(A wild start to the show, a way to get over not just the six man tag at All In, but also having FTR helping out their challengers for their tag titles in the process. Interesting that there was no Adam Page involved in this at all, as I understand why there was no Ibushi, but the absence of Hangman is interesting. I wonder if both the Dynamite & Collision crews being there tonight had anything to do with it?)

The Elite met Bullet Club Gold on the ramp to start the brawl, as Nick hit a tope to wipe out The Gunns. Robinson hit a chair shot to the ribs, but referee Rick Knox stopped him from using it again, so Robinson laid out Knox. The Gunns & Jay White attacked The Bucks, as Nick was dropped with 3:10 to Yuma. Matt avoided it, threw a couple superkicks, but was dropped by a White uranage. Omega stopped a Blade Runner, as Colten & Austin were planted with Snap Dragons. Omega popped White with a V-Trigger and wanted his Terminator dive, but was taken out by Konosuke Takeshita. Bullet Club Gold continued their beat down until FTR’s music hit and evened the odds with everyone brawling up the stage. Takeshita wanted a home run shot on Omega, who hit a V-Trigger, tried One Winged Angel, but Takeshita bailed and Omega stood tall by himself.

-Renee Paquette is backstage with AEW World Champion MJF and talks about the All In main event in London. MJF said he’s going to be real chubbed up and said he’s the 2023 version of the British Bulldog if he was Jewish and a good public speaker. MJF loves the crooked teeth Brits too and wants them to make as much noise as possible during his match, promising them all a pint, but said he’ll ultimately make that mark Tony Khan pay for it. Paquette asks about the pressure he must be facing this Sunday wrestling twice, as MJF said none of this happened without the people who paved the road prior. MJF mentioned Hulk Hogan, Bruno Sammartino, Dusty Rhodes, John Cena, Stone Cold, The Rock, Triple H, The Undertaker, he’s standing on the shoulders of giants and if he wins Sunday, he becomes a giant himself.

Paquette showed clips of the potential cracks in the friendship between MJF & Adam Cole. MJF said he’s never had a genuine friend before, but Cole taught him he can let his guard down and trust. MJF calls Cole his brother and understands why there are reservations about believing him, asking the crowd to go on this journey with him. MJF isn’t just a scumbag, he’s the fans scumbag.

Jon Moxley defeated Rey Fenix (w/Alex Abrahantes)

(Off the heels of one of the best matches on Rampage against Komander last week, Fenix & Moxley had a fantastic battle here with the crowd into it the whole way. With the news of him being unable to be at All In, they needed to find a way to write Fenix out of the Stadium Stampede match. So I assume it’s safe to say that match will be 5 on 5 going forward, as the returning Santana & Ortiz going against Kingston is a way to further that story.)

Moxley was able to avoid the speed of Fenix early, but was ultimately sent outside with a dropkick and taken out with multiple topes. Moxley got up and tore at the mask of Fenix before hitting a violent curb stomp. Back in the ring, Moxley continued to pick Fenix apart until the quickness nearly put Fenix in control, only to be turned inside out with a Moxley lariat for two into commercial.

Moxley controlled nearly the entire break and planted Fenix with a piledriver for a near fall. Moxley drove the boots down onto the face, but as he turned briefly, Fenix kipped up into a spin kick leading to the double down. The spinning corner kick scored, but Moxley countered a rolling cutter into the rear naked choke. Fenix flipped into a roll up and got his rolling cutter quickly thereafter. Fenix connected with his rewind kick and followed with a massive Frog Splash for two. Moxley fought out of a fireman’s carry into anvil elbows and caught a springing Fenix with a forearm in mid air. A strike battle commenced until Moxley cut off Fenix in the ropes and connected with an Avalanche Death Rider, but Fenix kicked out. Moxley was shocked, but quickly locked in the rear naked choke and Fenix ultimately passed out.

Post match, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta hit the ring with crowbars and were about to have Fenix taken out until Eddie Kingston & Penta El Zero Miedo come down the ramp, but were stopped by a returning Ortiz. The music hit and out walked the also returning Santana, who attacked Penta, while Ortiz smacked Kingston with the sock full of baseballs. As the BCC, Santana & Ortiz bailed as Best Friends & Orange Cassidy came out to make the save, doctors rushed to the ring to tend to Fenix, who apparently was laid out with the crowbar, which cameras missed. The stretcher was brought out and Fenix was loaded up. A very somber Excalibur then promoted Draft Kings before throwing it to a commercial, which I got a kick out of.

**********

-Fenix was loaded into an ambulance as Penta & Alex Abrahantes joined him as Kingston, Best Friends & Orange Cassidy are all left watching it drive away. Renee Paquette approached wanting a comment, but Kingston refused, telling her that her husband did this, saying if she wants him to fix this, he’ll fix this at All In.

-We then got pre-recorded comments of Renee Paquette with Sammy Guevara, asking him about what happened to Chris Jericho at the hands of Don Callis & Will Ospreay last week. Matt Menard, Angelo Parker & Daniel Garcia interrupted and said Jericho accepted the offer last week, while Callis was exactly who they thought he was. Guevara said Jericho was about friendship and said he would always have his back. Parker said they are making sure Guevara doesn’t make the same mistakes that Jericho did and questions if Jericho would be there for Guevara? Menard & Parker left, while Garcia took a second to stare at Guevara before leaving as well.

Contract Signing Between Will Ospreay & Chris Jericho

Tony Schiavone announces both men, as security is already in the ring with Don Callis accompanying Ospreay to the ring, as Sammy Guevara was with Jericho. Callis took the microphone and said he did what he did last week because of Will by God Ospreay. The only thing better than having Jericho in his family would be knowing he could end his career. Callis got Ospreay’s help because he promised Jericho’s head on a platter at Wembley. Callis brought up how a few years ago Jericho nearly died in London, but on Sunday, he’s going to make sure Ospreay finishes the job.

Ospreay questions if Jericho is taking this match seriously or is he just using this as a way to get his band to perform live? Ospreay mentions wrestling an indy show a day before All In and said he’s doing this for his family. Ospreay said he’ll be able to say he’s beaten Chris Jericho, Kenny Omega & Kazuchika Okada in the span of two months. His contract is up in 6 months with New Japan Pro Wrestling and talks about how everyone will be vying for his services, as he’s better than The Elite, Bryan Danielson, CM Punk and Chris Jericho. Ospreay respects Jericho’s legacy, but he’s using it as rocket fuel for his future before signing the contract.

Jericho congratulated Ospreay on his recent accomplishments, but said it’s thanks to him. Five years ago, Jericho called Ospreay and told him to tone down his style before he has a short career like his hero the Dynamite Kid as many predicted. Jericho knew before anyone else Ospreay would be one of the top stars in the business, as this match has been in the works for years, but thanks to the lockdown in 2021, it couldn’t happen. Jericho said this is the biggest show of his career and while Ospreay is coming from the bottom, Jericho is coming to this match at the top. Jericho signed the contract, told Osperay to prove it to his family and countrymen that he can beat Chris Jericho. Ospreay slapped the microphone out of Jericho’s hands, but Jericho slapped Ospreay on his ass as security separated the two with the match official.

-Renee Paquette is backstage with Adam Cole and immediately shows him some highlights of their blossoming bromance over the past few months. Cole said while he’s had a ton of fun with MJF, it was Max that’s helped him find his confidence again. Paquette talks about the gold Cole could come away with after Sunday is over considering everything he’s gone through with his injury. Cole got into wrestling to become the best wrestler on the planet and winning the AEW Title cements just that. Paquette brings up Roderick Strong & The Kingdom and shows the clip a few months back of Cole telling Strong how he knows he can’t trust MJF. Cole couldn’t believe how people couldn’t understand how people can’t be friends and says there are no issues between MJF & himself before storming off.

Darby Allin & Nick Wayne defeated Swerve Strickland & AR Fox (w/Prince Nana) in a Tornado Tag Match

(While this was a Tornado Tag, it was not filled with weapons like the last one we saw, as this was more of a brawl. I was surprised Wayne got the pin, but post match we found out truly why. It’s interesting that they decided to break Fox off of The Embassy so quickly, but I guess if they needed to even the odds with Strickland’s side & Allin’s side, he’s the one who could’ve switched back. Although it was odd with Wayne & Allin siding with Fox, when a few weeks ago, Fox helped bloody up Wayne at his wrestling school.)

Nick Wayne’s mother is shown in the front row pre-match, as the brawl started immediately with Strickland launching Allin right into ringside. Wayne was crotched in the corner and Fox hit an impressive springing German out of the corner. Fox followed it up with an imploding senton to the floor and ripped his tank top soaked in Wayne’s blood from last month, as Nana threw it at Wayne’s mother. Strickland & Fox wanted double brainbusters on the apron, but Allin & Wayne fought free and Wayne hit a double Wayne’s World off the ropes to the floor, while Allin hit a Coffin Drop heading into commercial.

The match spilled into the crowd where Allin used his body as a wrecking ball, charging and just launching into Strickland. Fox showed the beaten up Wayne to his mother before launching him over the barricade where Strickland hit a snap suplex. In the ring, Strickland & Fox hit rolling Flatliners and Dropkicks, but Wayne tried to fight back with Wayne’s World, only to jump into a powerbomb/neckbreaker combination. Allin sent Strickland to the outside and hit a low tope that nearly sent both men through the bottom of the announce table. Allin took too long to set up Strickland on a chair and ate a Fox vaulting moonsault before Strickland hit a Swerve Stomp off the apron.

Wayne is left in the ring with a bloody nose, where he ate a Strickland pump kick and Fox corkscrew brainbuster for two. Fox connected with a rolling cradle brainbuster, but again Wayne kicked out. Strickland connected with the Kill Shot kick, but once more Wayne kicked out. Fox missed a 450 splash and Wayne got the roll up, as Allin tripped up Strickland while Wayne got the flash pin.

Post match, Strickland was laughing manically and said this was so disappointing, but was disappointing in Fox. Strickland asks why Fox is always a loser and said he can’t beat an 18 year old child like Strickland has. Strickland can’t trust Fox in front of 80,000 people in Wembley and told Prince Nana to do his light work. Nana fired Fox from The Mogul Embassy before Brian Cage appeared and laid out Fox with a Drill Claw. Sting, Darby Allin & Nick Wayne hit the ring as Strickland, Nana & Cage bailed. Allin said Fox was always there for him and told him to shake his hand, as they hugged. Allin asked who does Strickland have, as Luchasaurus & Christian Cage walked out.

Cage immediately took a cheap shot at Nick’s late father and said he’d never heard of Buddy Wayne before, which means he probably wasn’t any good. Since his father was a talentless hack, he doesn’t have much to live up to. Cage made a super distasteful comment about Wayne watching another coffin door close on a loved one. Cage stumbled on his promo at the end; trash talked the crowd and got back on track to wrap it up.

-Renee Paquette is backstage sitting down with The Young Bucks & FTR. Wheeler said this is simply about who is the better team, as The Bucks agreed. Paquette asks if this is the biggest match of either teams careers and Matt & Nick said it absolutely is, but FTR needs to beat them to cement their legacy, The Bucks don’t need to beat them. FTR agrees it’s the biggest match of their career, but this goes beyond the Tag Team championship, as the only team that stands between them and their legacy are The Young Bucks. Matt said if FTR forgot that it was The Bucks who brought them into AEW and said FTR’s legacy will be the guys who The Bucks named on their YouTube show. Harwood said The Bucks call themselves the foundation of AEW; they will crack The Bucks foundation at All In.

**********

Ruby Soho defeated Skye Blue

(A lot of this happened during commercial, but I enjoyed the back and forth finish with Soho jumping into the crowded TBS Title picture. Kris Statlander certainly doesn’t have a lack of challengers for her title heading into the All Out PPV.)

Soho came to the stage with Toni Storm, who went to the back and gave Soho a kiss on the head good luck. Soho cut an inset promo about how Storm & Saraya will be competing for the Women’s Title; Soho has her sights set on someone else and calls out Kris Statlander for the future. Blue cut an inset promo that was cut off because of Soho attacking pre-match. It was all Soho in the early going until forearmed her way out of the corner, sent Soho to the floor where she hit a thrust kick and cross body into commercial.

Soho immediately regained control during break, but ate a spinning low kick and running knee in the ropes by Blue. Going up to the top, Blue connected on a high cross body, went for her Skyfall, but settled for a rolling neckbreaker. After trading nearfalls, Blue was able to hit Skyfall, but Soho kicked out. Soho avoided Code Blue as both ladies traded thrust kicks until Soho hit No Future and Destination Unknown for the win.

-Renee Paquette is backstage with Roderick Strong & The Kingdom and asks Strong what he knows that everyone else doesn’t about this Cole & MJF relationship. Strong said at the end of All In, everyone will see who the true MJF is and the true Adam Cole is. That was the entire promo.

-The video of The House of Black shown on Collision about laying out The Acclaimed is shown. Malakai Black said for Billy Gunn to rest in pain, destroying the boots of Daddy Ass. Just then we see Anthony Bowens & Max Caster march down to the ring and called out The House of Black. Malakai Black, Brody King, Buddy Matthews & Julia Hart obliged, as they made their entrance, surrounding the ring. Bowens & Caster were promptly beaten down before The Acclaimed music hit and Daddy Ass hit the ring with the House of Black bailing. This was one of the biggest pops of Billy Gunn’s career and he’s had some big ones. Daddy Ass said the House wanted his attention, they got it. He was ok with calling it a career until the House hurt his kids and destroyed his boots. The House of Black pissed all over his Hall of Fame legacy, so one more time, it’s all or nothing, at All In, it’s House of Black vs. The Acclaimed & Bad Ass Billy Gunn.

Aussie Open (Kyle Fletcher & Mark Davis) defeated The Hardys (Matt & Jeff) to retain the ROH Tag Team Titles

(The match could’ve been so much more, but there was a lot crammed into this go home episode of Dynamite and the main event action suffered as a result, as it went pretty quick. The main story was the post match and the final will they/won’t they turn on each other between MJF & Cole heading into the main event of the biggest show in AEW history.)

Fletcher & Davis attacked at the bell, but The Hardys quickly turned the tables with Poetry in Motion. The Hardy’s remained in control as they went to commercial after barely being back for 2 minutes. Aussie Open took over and did their signature running around the ring, ramming the backs of their opponents into each other and stayed in control before returning from break. Jeff was able to fight off both men with a Whisper in the Wind and made the hot tag to Matt, who ran wild. Side Effect on Fletcher got a near fall, but as he went for a Twist of Fate, Fletcher spun out. Matt fought Fletcher off in the corner; hit a superplex, Jeff hit a splash off the second, only for Davis to break it up. Fletcher saved his partner in the corner and powerbombed Matt, as Jeff was planted with the assisted Aussie Arrow for the win.

Post match, Davis & Fletcher stood tall, saying there will be no double clothesline or kangaroo kick at All In and Aussie Open will remain the ROH Tag Team Champions bay-bay. MJF & Adam Cole walked out from the back and had a faceoff before a brawl started. Aussie Open had the upper hand, wanted a double clothesline, but MJF & Cole fought back with pump kicks. Davis bailed before he got caught with a double clothesline. Fletcher avoided a kangaroo kick, as MJF saved Cole from a charging Fletcher, but Cole nearly hit MJF with an accidental superkick, pulling it at the last second. Cole & MJF had a face off before MJF shouldered past Cole, put the Dynamite Diamond Ring on and was about to clock Cole, but opted on hugging Cole instead. Cole had a look on his face like he knew what could’ve happened to end the show.
