AEW Dynamite – Aug 17

AEW Dynamite – Aug 17

Become Ryan’s Wrestling Pen Pal

*Live from Charleston, WV.

*CM Punk to the ring…calls out Hangman Adam Page & offers him a rematch right now…Punk isn’t pleased when Hangman doesn’t answer…he pivots…says he has Mox’s number…lots of disrespect for Mox…Jon Moxley to the ring…gives it back to Punk verbally…fists start flying & security fills the ring.

*Powerhouse Hobbs backstage with Schiavone…he doesn’t need any friends…warns Ricky Starks that he breaks backs & he breaks necks…also, he’s got something for QT Marshall & the Factory as well.

(1)  Bryan Danielson def. Daniel Garcia…in a BEST 2 OUT OF 3 FALLS MATCH…Garcia with a piledriver & locks in a Hammerlock Dragon Sleeper & ref calls for the stoppage to give Garcia the 1^st fall (09:20)…Garcia locks on the hammerlock dragon sleeper again, but gets pulled over into a Roll Up to give Danielson the 2^nd fall (15:13)…Danielson uses a modified LeBell Lock & Garcia goes to sleep forcing the ref to call for the bell for the 3^rd fall & the submission win for Danielson (25:58)…AFTER…Danielson extends the hand to Garcia…Chris Jericho leaves the announce desk to attack Danielson but Garcia pulls him off…a long stare down between Jericho & Garcia before Jericho leaves with a warning to remember whose side he’s on.

*Swerve in Our Glory & Private Party backstage with Schiavone…verbal back & forth but no physicality…they’ll fight on Rampage for the tag titles.

*Jon Moxley drops Tony Nese & Mark Sterling on the way to the ring…Mox is pissed…he calls out Punk, he wants to settle this right now…CM Punk out but security floods the ring immediately to get between them.

*Chris Jericho & 2-Point-0 backstage with Schiavone…next week, Daniel Garcia has to decide whose side he’s on…Ricky Steamboat interrupts to tell Jericho that Garcia doesn’t need Jericho as a mentor.

(2)  Gunn Club def. Varsity Blonds…Colten hits the Colt 45 on Garrison for the win (00:32)…AFTER…Poppa Billy Gunn is finally proud of his boys & they share a group hug…Stokely Hathaway out, taking Billy’s attention to the top of the ramp…the Ass Boys jump their dad from behind…Acclaimed out to save Billy…Billy & the Acclaimed rejoice in some scissor action.

*Sonjay Dutt (with Jay Lethal & Satnam Singh) is still furious that he lost his pencil…challenges Wardlow & FTR to a Trios match at ALL OUT.

*Death Triangle backstage promo…Pac is looking forward to their Trios Tourney match with United Empire next week.

*Jungle Boy to the ring…he’ll continue to chase Christian Cage until he agrees to face him at ALL OUT…Cage out, refuses the challenge…Cage wants to fix things, offers a hug…Jungle Boy goes for the hug but instead hits a double leg & the fight is on…Jungle Boy bounces Cage off the ring steps multiple times & stomps on his arm before security can break it up.

*Wardlow & FTR backstage promo…they accept the trios challenge for ALL OUT…but Dax doesn’t want to wait so he challenges Jay Lethal for fight next week.

(3)  Toni Störm def. KiLynn King…Toni hits Sweet Cheeks Music, a Tornado DDT, & follows with a Pendulum DDT for the win (06:48)…as Thunder Rosa watches from backstage on a monitor.

*Tony Khan decides that it’s futile to try keeping Jon Moxley & CM Punk away from each other for 3 weeks…so the AEW World Championship unification will take place next week on Dynamite.

(4)  Trios Tournament, Rd. 1: The Elite (Young Bucks & Kenny Omega) def. La Facción Ingobernable (Andrade/Rush/Dragon Lee)…Omega hits the V-Trigger on Dragon Lee (I think he might have really knocked him out because Kenny can barely keep him on his shoulder as he)…follows with the 1-Winged Angel for the win (20:52)…AFTER…Rush shoves Dragon Lee into Andrade, who hits the Hammerlock DDT & Dragon’s mask comes off as the show ends…I guess we won’t be seeing that trio again.
