AEW Dynamite – Sep 14

Become Ryan’s Wrestling Pen Pal

*Live from Albany, NY.

(1)  World Championship Tournament: Jon Moxley def. Sammy Guevara…while Anna Jay distracts the ref, Tay Melo sneaks in to deliver a low blow kick to Mox…Sammy pulls Mox in for a roll up, but he kicks at 2…Sammy gets him up for the GTH but Mox lands safely & immediately counters with the Paradigm Shift (suplex) for the win (13:26).

*MJF to the ring & he’s in a bad mood…says he hasn’t slept since his interaction with Moxley last week…says Mox is just playing a character & MJF isn’t buying the tough guy routine…he warns Mox, Jericho, & Danielson that bad things happen when people get in his way…he introduces his “stable on retainer” by the name of The Firm…lead by Stokely Hathaway…they are: Ethan Page, Gunn Club, Lee Moriarty, & W. Morrissey…Hathaway says everyone will either run with them or run from them.

*Jungle Boy issued an open challenge earlier in the day…Jay Lethal answers it.

(2)  Jungle Boy def. Jay Lethal…Jungle Boy with the Snaretrap for the submission win (10:36).

*Hook & Action Bronson training montage…they’re ready for Matt Menard & Angelo Parker next week.

*Luigi Primo backstage with Marves…Ethan Page kicks Primo in the face…Danhausen interrupts…Page says his goal is to be “King” of the Atlantic (he’s coming for Pac’s title) so it makes sense to start with the Jester on Rampage.

*Darby Allin footage…abusing his body at an X-Sports event…Matt Hardy reminds Darby he’s old school extreme…challenges Darby to face him on Rampage.

(3)  Powerhouse Hobbs def. Matt DiMartino…Hobbs with a Spinebuster for the win (00:29)…AFTER…Hobbs on the mic…says the chapter is closed on Starks, tonight a new chapter starts…Ricky Starks comes through the crowd…Starks starts throwing hands immediately…Hobbs rolls out & heads up the ramp.

(4)  Swerve in Our Glory def. Lucha Brothers…retain their AEW Tag Team Championship…Penta setting Lee up for the Fear Factor…Swerve shoves Fenix off the top buckle…Lee powers to his feet & hits the Big Bang Catastrophe on Penta for the win (08:54)…AFTER…the Acclaimed out…the “uncrowned tag champs” plan to take those titles at Grand Slam.

*Pac doesn’t like Marves saying this loss was a “bump in the road” for Death Triangle…Orange Cassidy knocks Pac out with an Orange Punch…Pac is a double champion…Cassidy says, “Not for long.”

*Britt Baker took out Shida behind the scenes…but Toni Störm already has a new partner for her tag match tonight in Athena.

(5)  Britt Baker & Serena Deeb def. Toni Störm & Athena…while Rebel distracts the ref, Britt holds a chair & Serena runs Toni into it, face first…Serena Rolls Up the woozy Toni for the win (08:33)…AFTER…Baker is looking to do more damage with the chair…Jamie Hayter down & rips the chair out of Britt’s hands…then proceeds to hit Toni herself…Hayter still has harsh words for Britt as she leaves.

*Mark Sterling has some choice words for Samoa Joe…he faces Josh Woods on Rampage for Joe’s ROH TV Title.

(6)  World Championship Tournament: Bryan Danielson def. Chris Jericho…Danielson takes a bump to the floor & appears to hurt his ankle/heel…Jericho sinks in a Figure-4…Danielson tries to turn it over but instead captures the arm & rolls into the LeBell Lock…Danielson re-adjusts several times to get his forearm right across Jericho’s nose & force the tap for the submission win (19:44)…AFTER…Jon Moxley down & gets face-to-face with the limping Danielson…the BCC teammates trade words off mic & eventually shake…they’ll get it on at Grand Slam for the World Championship.
