AEW Dynamite was live from the Chartway Arena at Ted
Constant Convocation Center in Norfolk, Virginia, on TBS &
HBO Max just 10 days before AEW All Out in Chicago,
Illinois! Dynamite gave us plenty of All Out previews with
opponents in action throughout the wild evening in Norfolk!
AEW World Champion Will Ospreay and AEW Continental Champion
Jon Moxley found themselves on opposite sides of a heated
trios match in the main event, but in the end it was Moxley
going above and beyond what was necessary to defeat
Francisco Akira for the win. The beatdown continued after
the match with The Dogs getting involved, and just when it
looked like Akira was in dire straits, Ospreay took out
Moxley and Gabe Kidd with Hidden Blades before holding the
ring with AEW National Champion Andrade El Ídolo to end
Dynamite!
We learned that "Hangman" Adam Page and Brodido will
challenge for the AEW World Trios Championship at All Out
after defeating The Conglomeration. AEW World Trios
Champions Swerve Strickland and The New Level will defend
against The Demand next week on Dynamite, with the winner
filling the other slot at All Out. We got an unexpected
preview of that match when Ricochet, Toa Liona and Bishop
Kaun viciously attacked the champions and posed with the
titles! Which one of those teams will walk into All Out as
AEW World Trios Champions against Hangman and Brodido?
AEW Women’s World Champion Mercedes Moné is not cleared to
compete at All Out but will be ready to go at AEW
WrestleDream in October. We’ll find out who will face her at
WrestleDream when former AEW Women’s World Champions Willow
Nightingale and Thekla go one-on-one at All Out next
weekend!
Plus, Tommaso Ciampa wants AEW International Champion “The
Rainmaker” Kazuchika Okada at All Out and made it clear with
more than just his words. Steven Borden and TNT Champion
Darby Allin teamed with AEW World Tag Team Champions Cage
and Cope to beat FTR and The Don Callis Family’s Kyle
Fletcher and Kevin Knight. Allin and Borden will face
Fletcher and Knight at All Out!
Check out what went down on a dynamic night of Dynamite from
Norfolk!
Cope Plays Peacemaker for Darby Allin and Christian Cage
Renee Paquette caught up with Cope, Allin and Borden, with
Cope thanking Allin and Borden for having his back last
week. He was especially complimentary to Borden for his
efforts. Then, Cage walked in and began to speak to Borden:
“I’m sorry for the loss of your father’s…”
Cage and Allin cut him off, with Allin getting increasingly
angry.
Cage spoke again, “I’m sorry for the loss of your father’s
in-ring career.”
Allin stopped Cage again and said things aren’t over between
them. Cage noted that as much as Darby is known for the TNT
Title, Cage could say the same. Cope tried to ease the
tension and asked if everyone was good for tonight. The
answer to that was unclear as they all walked off.
FTR & The Don Callis Family Team Tonight, but What About All
Out?
Big Stoke said Cage and Cope shouldn’t be worried about any
other tag team other than FTR, who will walk out as AEW
World Tag Team Champions at All Out. Kevin Knight reminded
Stoke that the Young Bucks are also in that match. Kyle
Fletcher mockingly asked if that was the same Young Bucks
that they beat. Don Callis wondered if they should be in the
ladder match at All Out. Stoke jumped in to say that their
championship contention could be discussed after the match.
“Top guys, out.”
AEW World Tag Team Champions Christian Cage & Adam Copeland,
TNT Champion Darby Allin & Steven Borden def. FTR (Dax
Harwood and Cash Wheeler) & Don Callis Family's "The
Protostar" Kyle Fletcher and "The Jet" Kevin Knight
Big Stoke joined commentary for this one, although both
Excalibur and Tony Schiavone said they wished Don Callis was
joining them. Stoke was stunned.
Cope and Fletcher began this opening contest and faced off
for the first time in a battle of generations. Cope worked
Fletcher to the mat and kicked him to the floor in a bit of
rage. Cope tagged out to Allin, but Cage tagged Allin, so
Allin tagged back in and went after Fletcher. Fletcher tried
to cut off Allin, but Allin kneed out of it and tagged
Borden! They ping-ponged Fletcher back and forth, and Borden
tried to control his arm, but Fletcher got back to his
corner and tagged Dax. With Borden outnumbered in the wrong
corner, all eight men faced off in the ring, yet cooler
heads prevailed, and Borden and Dax were left to continue
the match. Borden worked Dax to the corner and allowed for a
clean break, but when Dax took control back, he sent Borden
to the corner, and Borden leaped back over Dax to connect on
a picture-perfect dropkick to get a two-count, with Cash
Wheeler pulling Borden’s hair to break up the pin.
Knight held Borden on the ropes, but when Dax swung, Borden
ducked, and Knight got knocked off the apron. Fletcher tried
the same and also got nailed by friendly fire from Dax.
Dax chopped Borden in the corner, so Borden turned him right
back around and returned fire. Borden got Dax to bail to the
floor, so Allin threw hands at Dax, and he went back to the
ring. That brought all eight men in the ring for a brawl!
The tide turned in a big way when the Don Callis Family
stopped a Coffin Drop and powerbombed Allin on the apron
behind the referee’s back. They turned their attention to
Cope, which set off another major brawl on the floor! Back
in the ring, Cash was all over Allin, who was still in bad
shape from the powerbomb.
Allin tried to make a tag, but found no one as all his
teammates were knocked off the apron. Fletcher worked Allin
to the apron, where Callis raked Allin’s eyes, but Allin
managed to fight off Fletcher and an attacking Knight. Dax
tagged in and grabbed Allin, but he leaped and tagged
Borden! Borden floored everyone in sight with right hands
and a dropkick for Fletcher, followed by a beautiful back
body drop to Knight and another dropkick that sent Knight
over the top to the floor! Even Stoke had to compliment the
second-generation talent!
Dax broke free of Borden by ramming him into the corner. He
chopped Borden and put him on the top turnbuckle. Dax went
up to meet him, so Borden punched Dax back to the mat with
the crowd chanting “STEVE” on every connection! Cash
crotched Borden on the top rope and was able to avoid a
spear attempt by Cope, who caught a thrust kick from
Fletcher. Cage tried to get Fletcher with an Unprettier, so
Fletcher pushed Cage into Cash, who launched Cage over the
top to the floor. Allin came back and hit a quick combo on
Fletcher, but when he went for a springboard Coffin Drop,
Fletcher caught it and folded Allin with a half-and-half
suplex. FTR and the Callis Family each went to the top rope
in a corner, with Dax bringing Borden down with a crashing
superplex! Cash followed with a splash to complete Power and
Glory, although that wasn’t enough, with Fletcher adding an
elbow drop and Knight finishing it all with a UFO Splash!
Dax covered Borden, but Allin and Cope came in to break it
up!
With fights continuing on the floor, Dax was left with
Borden, who nearly stole one with an inside cradle. Dax was
not happy with Borden and dropped him with a three-shot
combo. Dax picked up Borden’s legs for a Scorpion Death
Lock, but Borden kicked out of it, and Dax wound up in the
ropes right into a chair shot from Cage! The referee never
saw it, as he scampered away to avoid Dax. Knight tried to
springboard down onto Borden, but he moved, and Cope speared
Knight out of midair! Borden grabbed Dax for a Scorpion
Death Drop as Allin went to the top for a Coffin Drop.
Fletcher stopped Allin with strikes until Cage pulled
Fletcher back into a reverse DDT on the apron! Cage saved
Allin! Cage nailed Cash with a Killswitch on the floor! Back
in the ring, Allin came down on Dax while Borden dropped him
for a Coffin Death Drop! Borden covered Dax to get the win
for his team!
After the match, Cage grabbed the TNT Title and tried to
celebrate with it, but Allin pulled it away and handled the
proper celebrations without further incident.
Jon Moxley Understands Will Ospreay
With PAC and Gabe Kidd stewing behind him, Jon Moxley
acknowledged that the AEW World Champion Will Ospreay was
targeting him. He feels some type of way about it. Moxley
said no one understands how hard the road has been for
Ospreay like he does. Moxley said he’s hard on himself and
everyone because this is a hard job. Moxley hopes Ospreay
learned that from their time together, that no belt around
someone’s waist automatically makes them the best. What
Ospreay did at Wembley Stadium will inspire generations, but
it wasn’t about holding something; it was about what he
could become and what he was becoming before our eyes. Mox
never asked Ospreay to follow him. He wanted Ospreay to
lead. Moxley acknowledged this was always heading this way,
so at All Out, when Ospreay looked across the ring, he had
to know that Mox was his responsibility. Mox said PAC and
Kidd just think they should tune Ospreay up in the parking
lot. Kidd said why wait until the PPV and then described
some very disturbing ways to punish Ospreay. PAC said it’s
always Death Riders against the World, including United
Empire, and tonight, they won’t let Ospreay off the hook.
PAC said that while looking right at Moxley, who didn’t
provide much of a response.
That brought us to a look at the rivalry between AEW Women’s
World Tag Team Champions The Brawling Birds and their All
Out opponents, “Megasus” Megan Wayne and “Colossal” Lena
Kross, who they’ll meet in a Chicago Street Fight. Tonight,
Alex Windsor and Kross go one-on-one!
Jericho def. Nick Wayne
Jericho was serenaded by the Norfolk crowd, and they
continued to chant for him at the bell. Wayne wasn’t fazed
and took Jericho down first. Wayne did it again with an arm
drag and begged Jericho to show him something. Jericho
answered with a body slam. Wayne got up and spit in
Jericho’s face. Jericho chopped Wayne to the mat and
continued the barrage in the corner. Wayne crawled to
another corner, so Jericho sent him to the opposite side.
Wayne tried to reverse it, so Jericho caught him with a boot
and a running bulldog. Jericho tried a Lionsault, but Wayne
stopped him and threw him to the mat by his hair!
Wayne threw punches at Jericho, but Jericho came back with a
butterfly backbreaker. Jericho lifted Wayne back up for a
delayed vertical suplex. Jericho put his foot on Wayne for a
cocky pin, so Wayne kicked out. Wayne raked Jericho’s eye
and caught him with a thrust kick. On the apron, Wayne threw
strikes at Jericho and pleaded with Jericho to show him
something. Jericho tried to punch back, so Wayne took
control back and tried a Spanish Fly, only for Jericho to
block it and drop Wayne on the apron with a Death Valley
Driver! Jericho tried to send Wayne into the steel steps,
but Wayne reversed it and Jericho crashed hard. Wayne jumped
off the steps and spiked Jericho with a Canadian Destroyer!
Wayne was able to keep control for the next few minutes
until Jericho started battling back with chops and a back
body drop. Wayne was clotheslined over the top to the floor
and tried to get right back in, but Jericho shut him down
with a dropkick. Jericho went to the top and crashed down
onto Wayne with a huge crossbody! Jericho chopped Wayne on
the apron and tried to lift him up, so Wayne blocked it and
hit a thrust kick to Jericho’s jaw. Wayne quickly went to
the top rope and smashed Jericho with a senton bomb onto the
apron! Wayne took too much time capitalizing, which allowed
Jericho to counter Wayne off the top rope with a
Codebreaker! Wayne kicked out to stay alive!
Back on their feet, Jericho chopped Wayne, but Wayne
countered with a stunner and a standing Sliced Break to get
a near-fall! Wayne was frustrated, but turned his attention
back to Jericho for a roundhouse kick. Jericho ducked and
pulled Wayne to the mat for Walls of Jericho. Wayne grabbed
the referee’s leg to stop Jericho and spun out. Wayne hit a
thrust kick to send Jericho to the corner. He charged in, so
Jericho flipped him around and put Wayne on the top rope for
10 punches and an avalanche hurricanrana! Jericho
clotheslined Wayne in the corner and put him back on the top
rope for another set of punches and another avalanche
hurricanrana. Jericho went for a Judas Effect, but Wayne
ducked and caught Jericho with Wayne’s World! 1-2-Jericho
kicked out! Both men remained down as the crowd cheered in
approval of the outstanding match they were seeing.
Jericho and Wayne fought up from their knees, but Jericho
wound up pulling off Wayne’s puka shell necklace he recently
made fun of, and it fell apart! Wayne was incensed and
charged at Jericho, but Jericho grabbed him from behind,
only for Wayne to reverse that. Jericho tried to roll
through it and into a Walls of Jericho, but Wayne was ready
for it and spun his body around on the mat. Jericho never
let go of Wayne’s legs, so he just sat on top of Wayne to
trap him for the pinfall victory! The resourceful Jericho
wins!
Wayne tried to fix his necklace as Jericho celebrated the
win. Jericho called to Wayne, and Wayne complained about the
necklace. Jericho said he didn’t care and extended a hand to
Wayne. Wayne stayed on the mat and refused the handshake.
Jericho went to leave, but Wayne got back up and kicked the
middle rope as Jericho stepped through! With Jericho down on
the mat in pain, Wayne mounted him with the necklace wrapped
around his hand and rained down punches on Jericho. Wayne
got a steel chair and smashed it across Jericho’s back
multiple times to leave him in a heap. Wayne posed over
Jericho and left the ring, covering his ears, as the crowd
chanted, “Where’s your mom?”
Mercedes Moné Not Cleared for All Out, Willow Nightingale
vs. Thekla Set for #1 Contendership Match
AEW Women’s World Champion Mercedes Moné is not cleared to
compete at All Out in 10 days, but she will be cleared to
compete at AEW WrestleDream in October. At All Out, former
champions Willow Nightingale and Thekla will meet one-on-
one, with the winner moving on to face Moné for the AEW
Women’s World Title at WrestleDream. We heard from both
Nightingale and Thekla. Nightingale pointed out that it was
Moné who broke her hand leading into All In: London, and
Nightingale broke Moné’s nose to knock her out of action.
Thekla wondered if she was the “last real bitch alive”
because she was the only one who wasn’t hurt. She said
Willow faked an injury and came back to steal everything
from Thekla, but then Willow blew it at All In. Willow said
Thekla will learn why you never count her out.
AEW World Champion Will Ospreay, AEW National Champion
Andrade El Ídolo and Francisco Akira Are Ready for the Main
Event
Renee Paquette asked about the status of United Empire.
Ospreay said it was looking good and after starting it four
years ago, his “little brother” Callum Newman was running it
and bringing in who he wanted, which is how Andrade ended up
in the group. Ospreay admitted that was super awkward
because Andrade is carrying around that guaranteed future
AEW World Title shot contract. Ospreay reminded everyone and
Andrade that whenever he wants to take the shot, they can
find out who the better man is. Ospreay said he knows who
that is because he has the AEW World Title over his
shoulder.
“Amigo, how you know?”
Ospreay laughed it off, and Andrade said tonight, they are
on the same team. Francisco Akira started yelling in
Italian, but neither Ospreay nor Andrade knew what he was
saying, so Ospreay told him to say something in English to
the Death Riders.
Akira yelled, “Let’s kick the shit out of the Death Riders!”
Ospreay apologized for the profanity and promised to pay the
fine.
World Trios Championship Series (Winners Challenge for the
AEW World Trios Championship at All Out): "Hangman" Adam
Page & Brodido (ROH World Champion Bandido & Brody King)
def. The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly and
Roderick Strong)
While The Conglomeration got plenty of love from the crowd,
Hangman’s reaction was massive, as a native of Virginia,
where he’s never lost a match in AEW. Hangman and O’Reilly
started the match and traded reversals and pin attempts with
no clear advantage until Page booted O’Reilly in the head
and tagged Bandido. He jumped in with an elbow across
O’Reilly’s arm. O’Reilly came back with kicks and stopped a
suplex with a guillotine. Bandido got out of it and hit a
pair of arm drags, but O’Reilly was ready for the third and
dropped Bandido with a kick. Cassidy tagged in for some
unique double-team offense on Bandido. He tagged out to
King, and King sent Cassidy to the corner. Cassidy escaped
without harm. King did it again and tried to chop Cassidy,
so Cassidy turned it into a high-five! King tried again, and
Cassidy did the same. Cassidy got out of the corner, and
King tried another chop, so Cassidy put his hands up to
block and felt the pain. He came back with a dropkick to
King and sprang back up, but King was standing behind him.
Cassidy realized it and finally took a big chop across the
chest.
Strong tagged in and immediately engaged King in a chop
battle! King tried to take control, but Strong came back
with a dropkick. Cassidy wound up coming back in, as did
Bandido, but it was Bandido who dropped Cassidy to put the
match back at a stalemate. Cassidy tagged Strong and Bandido
tagged Page. Page hit anything that moved! He backdropped
Strong and booted O’Reilly out of the ring. Strong and
Cassidy were back-to-back in the corner, so Page charged in
and ate a boot from Strong. Strong grabbed Cassidy and threw
him into Page, but Page caught him and kicked Strong away
before launching Cassidy with a fallaway slam. Page sent
Strong to the apron and took him down with a springboard
lariat. Page followed out with a crossbody to the floor and
avoided an attacking O’Reilly rushing down the apron with
another boot.
Back in the ring, Page dropped Strong with a Death Valley
Driver, but Strong managed to kick out at two. Page tried to
fire up the crowd, and they responded! Strong blocked a
Deadeye by holding onto the top rope and broke free to tag
O’Reilly, who was immediately decked by Hangman! King tagged
back in and knocked OC off the apron before laying into
Strong with chops in the corner. O’Reilly came in and got
stacked up on Strong for more chops. Page tagged in and then
tagged Bandido, who was sent to the corner only to be sent
to the floor by O’Reilly. He did the same to Page, and King
ate a boot when he charged to the corner. Cassidy tagged in,
although King didn’t see it and knocked him off the apron.
King squished Strong and O’Reilly in the corner with a
cannonball and charged up for a dive to the floor, so Strong
dove back in as Cassidy dove onto King. King caught Cassidy
and tossed him to the floor. He tried to crossbody Cassidy
into the barricade, but Cassidy moved, and O’Reilly
dropkicked King into the barricade! Back in the ring, Page
booted Cassidy from the apron, but was yanked down by
Strong, who dropped Page on the barricade with a
backbreaker. Bandido tried to clear the way in the ring and
exchanged reversals with Cassidy before hitting him with a
one-armed Gorilla Press Cutter! Unbelievable! Cassidy kicked
out to stay alive!
Bandido went to the top and rolled through a frog splash
when Cassidy moved. Bandido blocked a spinning DDT, so
Cassidy transitioned to a Stundog Millionaire. O’Reilly
smashed Bandido into Strong’s grasp, and Cassidy hit Bandido
with an Orange Punch! Strong dropped Bandido with a
fireman’s carry slam! Cassidy covered Bandido, but King
broke up the pin! Strong and O’Reilly took King down with
Total Elimination, and Strong tagged Cassidy. He slugged it
out with Page until Page put Strong down with a lariat. Page
picked up Strong for a Deadeye, but dropped him when Cassidy
came off the top with a crossbody elbow. Cassidy tried to
spin around for a DDT, but wound up on Page’s back and
gestured as if he was riding Hangman like a horse! Page
flipped Cassidy down to the mat, so Cassidy got backup, and
they went through reversals until Page jumped on Cassidy’s
back and decided to ride him! Norfolk loved it! Strong took
advantage with a running clothesline!
Bandido took down Strong, so O’Reilly kicked Bandido to the
mat. King dropped O’Reilly and blocked Cassidy’s Orange
Punch, so Cassidy tried his kicks to get out of it. Strong
saved Cassidy with a jumping knee to the back of King, so he
didn’t see Page coming over the top rope for a Buckshot
Lariat! Page covered Strong and got the three-count! Page
and Brodido are going to All Out for a shot at the AEW World
Trios Titles!
Daniel Garcia Won the Butcher Battle Royale on Collision
On a night where we remembered and celebrated the life of
“The Butcher” Andy Williams on Collision over the weekend,
fellow Buffalo native and Williams’ close friend, Daniel
Garcia won the Butcher Battle Royale to earn $100,000 for
the charity of his choosing, which he selected to be
MusiCares.
Tommaso Ciampa def. Myles Hawkins
Before the match, Ciampa said he wanted AEW International
Champion “The Rainmaker” Kazuchika Okada at All Out!
Hawkins decided to take his time taking off his ring jacket
and started to complain about any possible wrinkles. Ciampa
waited long enough and wiped out Hawkins with a bicycle kick
to the side of the head. Ciampa made the pin and got the
easy win before walking right back out of the ring and up
the aisle.
AEW World Trios Champions Swerve Strickland & The New Level
Attacked by The Demand!
Tony Schiavone introduced the AEW World Trios Champions,
with Swerve and Prince Nana coming out first. Creed and Kofi
were hyped coming down the aisle, but everyone had their
backs to the ring, so they didn’t see Bishop Kaun and Toa
Liona attack from behind. Kaun bounced Creed from barricade
to barricade in the aisle while Ricochet threw Swerve into
the steel steps. In the ring, Creed tried to fight back on
Kaun, but Liona clipped Creed’s knee and crushed him with a
Samoan Drop. Kofi jumped on Liona’s back, but was thrown off
and clobbered by Liona. Kaun finished off Kofi with a double
underhook facebuster. Swerve came in to try to fight all
three men, but he was no match for The Demand. Ricochet laid
him out with a Spirit Gun, and GOA punctuated the attack
with a Double Crucifix Powerbomb. The Demand posed over the
champions with the AEW World Trios Titles.
Jack Perry Calls Out Samoa Joe!
Jack Perry talked about his journey to become AEW World
Champion by facing former champions, and so far, he’s gotten
his ass kicked twice. Perry didn’t want to wait for his
opportunity, so he’s calling his shot: Samoa Joe. Perry said
Joe has been gone long enough and while he might be feared
and revered, that’s not how Perry feels about Joe. He
invited Joe to make his day, as we saw “JOE IS GONNA KILL
YOU” written on the wall behind Perry.
Divine Dominion's "Colossal" Lena Kross def. AEW Women’s
World Tag Team Champion The Brawling Birds' Jamie Hayter
Kross wasted no time and nailed Hayter with a big boot
before the bell to literally kickstart the match. Hayter
tried to fight out of the corner with a back elbow, but
Kross fought through it and unloaded on Hayter. Kross sent
her to the opposite side, but missed a charge, and Hayter
started throwing big shots of her own. Hayter started to
mount some offense and took Kross down on the apron with a
dragon screw. Hayter tried to hit a kick through the ropes,
so Kross stopped her and brought her face-first onto the
apron with an electric chair drop! Kross took her time with
the count and ran Hayter into the barricade. Hayter fought
back and sent Kross back into the ring. She took too much
time getting back in herself, so Kross was able to come
around and powerbomb Hayter on the apron! That was brutal!
Kross toyed with Hayter and even mocked her with an attempt
at Hayterade, but Hayter ducked it and blasted Kross in the
neck with a flying clothesline. Hayter connected on a
dropkick from the middle rope followed by a shotgun dropkick
to the corner. Hayter came around the corner with a
horizontal pendulum kick that was on the money. Hayter went
up top and hit a missile dropkick, but Kross managed to kick
out to stay alive. Kross escaped a Hayterade attempt and
dumped Hayter on her head with a release German suplex.
Hayter managed to kick out to stay alive, then nearly took
the match with an inside cradle. Hayter hit a step-up kick
on Kross, but Kross came right back with a neckbreaker
across her knee. Hayter fired up to hit a Death Valley
Driver, and both women were down!
The two fought back to their feet where Kross hit a front
suplex and a running knee strike to a kneeling Hayter, who
somehow kicked out to stay alive! Hayter fired back with a
German suplex and running knee of her own, but this time it
was Kross who kicked out to stay alive. Hayter caught Kross
with a backbreaker across the knee that nearly turned into a
uranage, but Kross still kicked out! Megan Bayne came out
and grabbed one of the title belts, so with the referee
distracted, Kross pulled a hidden pipe from under the ring
and cracked Hayter with it! She finished Hayter with a
Jackhammer and pinned her for the victory! Alex Windsor ran
out to save Hayter with a table leg!
AEW National Champion Andrade El Ídolo vs. Daniel Garcia on
Collision!
Andrade told his story of growing up around the wrestling
business in a family with four generations. It’s why he can
call himself the greatest generational wrestler. When he
says it's his destiny to be World Champion, understand it's
not just his destiny, but a culmination of generations of
sacrifice, and no one can stand in the way of the destiny of
“mi familia.” Andrade defends against Daniel Garcia this
Saturday live on Collision!
Tommaso Ciampa Attacks Okada and Wants Psycho Killer vs. The
Rainmaker
Renee Paquette asked Okada for his response to Tommaso
Ciampa’s AEW International Championship challenge at All
Out. Okada said, “Yes, I’ve given this a lot of thought and
Tommaso Ciampa is a bitch!”
Okada smiled and went to walk away, but he was attacked out
of nowhere by Ciampa! Ciampa threw Okada into some road
cases before lowering his knee pad to crack Okada with a
bicycle knee! Ciampa grabbed Okada’s head and yelled, “Make
no mistake about it. When I said I want Ciampa vs. Okada,
what I meant was I want the Psycho Killer vs. The Rainmaker…
bitch.”
The Brawling Birds Have Plans for Divine Dominion at All Out
Renee Paquette tried to ask Alex Windsor and Jamie Hayter
about what happened earlier, but Windsor cut her off and
immediately addressed Divine Dominion. Windsor said if they
like to break the rules, the good news is next week there
aren’t any! Hayter said anything not nailed down is going
down your throat or “up your ass!” Windsor said at All Out,
Bayne and Kross are getting slaughtered!
Death Riders' AEW Continental Champion Jon Moxley, "The
Bastard" PAC & The Dogs' Gabe Kidd def. AEW World Champion
Will Ospreay, United Empire's Francesco Akira & AEW National
Champion Andrade El Ídolo
Ospreay was the last to enter, but Moxley made a point to
remain on the apron near the corner where Ospreay climbed to
acknowledge the crowd, and Ospreay started a hole through
him, as Moxley smirked. Ospreay and Mox elected to start the
match for an All Out preview, but tagged out to Kidd before
anything happened. Kidd charged right at Ospreay and bit his
hand before sending him to the corner. PAC cleared the
United Empire corner and went into attacking Ospreay in the
corner with Kidd. Ospreay fought out and came down on Kidd
with a standing sky-twister press to get a two-count.
Ospreay and Andrade took Kidd down with a double shoulder
block before Ospreay put Akira on his shoulder and threw him
forward for a high-angle senton. PAC charged at Andrade, who
sent him to the floor. Andrade, Ospreay and Akira all hit
crossbodies to the floor at the same time! Andrade found an
admirer in the crowd and posed for a selfie. Back in the
ring, Kidd took control of Akira and then cleared the corner
again. Kidd tagged Moxley, who threw Akira to the floor. He
followed out and chucked Akira gut-first into the steps.
Kidd continued the assault by sending Akira into the
barricade. Wheeler Yuta mocked Akira by telling him to get
in the ring.
Moxley slammed Akira and tagged PAC, who covered for a two-
count. Akira tried to fight back as the crowd got behind
him, but PAC stopped that quickly with a nasty whip to the
corner that saw Akira’s spine crumple against the
turnbuckles. PAC jawed with the crowd and brought Akira to
the corner to tag Moxley. Akira tried to chop Mox, so Mox
dropped him with one shot and locked in a leg lock
submission to continue to wear Akira down. The isolation
continued for several minutes with Mox, Kidd and PAC making
quick tags to keep Akira grounded. He tried to fight back by
striking out of the corner. PAC tried to send him back to
the corner, so Akira slid under Kidd and pulled him off the
apron before nailing Mox with a swinging kick under the
ropes. Akira tried to break free of PAC and finally did when
he rolled through and stomped PAC in the chest!
Andrade tagged in and was a house of fire! Andrade did
enough damage to PAC that allowed him to remove his pants.
Andrade hit PAC with an elbow drop neckbreaker and tagged
Ospreay. He booted PAC in the corner, and Andrade crushed
PAC with running knees. Ospreay connected with a springboard
elbow to PAC, but PAC managed to kick out. Ospreay used a
succession of kicks, but that woke up PAC, and he fired back
with big strikes of his own. PAC bounced Ospreay off the
ropes and fired him to the mat with a high-speed release
German suplex!
Moxley tagged in and grabbed Ospreay by the neck. Ospreay
immediately started throwing strikes, and the two traded
until Ospreay fired up and connected with a succession of
blows. Moxley caught Ospreay with a choke off the ropes and
tried to throw him overhead, but Ospreay landed on his feet
and kicked Mox to the ropes. Mox rebounded, and Ospreay was
ready for it and floated into a sitout powerbomb! Kidd made
the save in the nick of time with a punch to the back of
Ospreay’s head. Ospreay sent Kidd to the floor and measured
Mox for a Hidden Blade, but Kidd was able to grab Ospreay’s
leg so Akira tagged Ospreay and went to the top rope. On the
floor, Kidd threw Ospreay into the barricade while Akira
launched off to nail Mox with a diving crossbody. PAC
grabbed Akira and sent him to the ropes, so Akira snapped
him over with a hurricanrana. Akira booted Kidd to the floor
and took out both Kidd and PAC with a moonsault from the
second rope to the outside!
Mox charged at Akira, who pulled up into a kick that sent
Moxley stumbling backward. Akira caught Mox with a
springboard cutter, yet Mox still managed to kick out at
two. Akira missed a running knee to the back of Moxley’s
head and was immediately clobbered from behind by a running
clothesline from Kidd. Kidd started smashing his head into
the turnbuckles for some reason, so Ospreay was able to pull
his head down to trap Kidd in the turnbuckles. That allowed
Ospreay to hit a Cheeky Nandos Kick. PAC dropped Ospreay
with a clothesline, only to turn into a big boot from
Andrade, who was immediately laid out by a cutter from
Moxley! Akira rolled up Moxley for a very close near-fall,
so Moxley booted him in the face with authority! Moxley
mockingly kicked and toyed with Akira, who tried to fight
back and eventually beat Moxley down in the corner! Yuta got
on the apron, so Akira dropkicked him back to the floor.
That gave Moxley just enough time to recover with a
clothesline out of the corner. He hit Akira with a Paradigm
Shift, and when Ospreay tried to get in to help, Kidd pulled
him back to the outside and spiked him with a piledriver on
the floor! Moxley hit Akira with another Paradigm Shift
while PAC stopped Andrade from making the save with a
poisonrana on the floor right next to the fallen Ospreay!
Moxley hit Akira with a Death Rider, which was more than
enough, but he still locked in a Bulldog Choke until the
referee called for the bell to give Moxley the win for his
team.
Moxley held the choke on after the match for an extended
period until Moxley dropped him. Moxley decided to go back
to the choke, so Andrade kicked Moxley off Akira. Yuta came
in to help, so Andrade clocked him with a back elbow and
clotheslined Kidd. Daniel Garcia tried to make it in, but
was wiped out by Día de los Muertos! Andrade had no time to
celebrate because he was attacked by the rest of The Dogs,
David Finlay and Clark Connors! They held Andrade for PAC to
hit a running boot on Andrade that sent him to the floor.
Moxley seemed fired up by the proceedings and grabbed a
chair from the floor, which he handed to Kidd. Kidd put the
chair on Akira’s head and neck, but Ospreay got back in the
ring to stop Moxley with a Hidden Blade! Connors and Finlay
avoided Ospreay, but he caught Kidd with another Hidden
Blade! PAC was laid out as well, so Ospreay grabbed a chair
to hold the ring with Andrade, as they protected the wounded
Akira. The Dogs and Death Riders regrouped on the floor
while Ospreay and Andrade checked on Akira. Moxley and
company exited through the crowd as Ospreay stared them down
from the ring as Dynamite came to a close in Norfolk!
