AEW Dynamite was live from Houston, Texas on TBS and HBO Max
on a night that helped shape next week’s Blood & Guts and
beyond!
The Blood & Guts Advantage Battle Matches began on Dynamite,
with Claudio Castagnoli and Darby Allin each earning a win
for their team, which means the advantage will go to the
winner of Jon Moxley vs. Roderick Strong on AEW Collision.
The women also started their Blood & Guts Advantage Battle
with Megan Bayne earning a victory over Mina Shirakawa, who
replaced the injured Queen Aminata. Matches 2 and 3 (if
necessary) will take place on Collision. Jamie Hayter will
try to even things up against Skye Blue, and if she does,
Harley Cameron will face Thekla to decide the advantage.
Speaking of Harley, Willow Nightingale and Cameron will take
some momentum into next week’s Blood & Guts match after
scoring the upset over ROH Women’s World Champion Athena and
TBS Champion Mercedes Moné in the quarterfinals of the AEW
Women’s World Tag Team Championship Tournament.
We also learned that the first AEW National Champion will be
crowned at AEW Full Gear, presented by DC Comics, in a
Casino Gauntlet, and that Mark Briscoe will get another shot
at Kyle Fletcher and the TNT Championship, but with some
major stipulations. All that and more went down in Houston!
Here's everything that happened on AEW Dynamite for November
5, 2025, including your full results and match recaps.
The Opps Interrupt Tony Schiavone
After a recap of last week’s Fright Night Dynamite that saw
AEW World Champion “Hangman” Adam Page dress up as Tony
Schiavone to fool Samoa Joe and The Opps, the real Tony
Schiavone was in the ring to speak about the National
Championship that was coming to AEW. But before he could say
anything else, the music of The Opps played. Joe, Powerhouse
Hobbs and Katsuyori Shibata made their way down the aisle.
Joe had a mic in his hand.
“Pardon the interruption, but Houston, we have a problem!
See there’s a term that I heard about a while ago and it
just might apply to the man I’m staring at in the ring, Tony
Schiavone.”
Joe continued and addressed Schiavone, “Tonight, Tony I know
you were gonna say that you had nothing to do with what
happened last week…but I’m finding that very hard to
believe.”
Schiavone responded, “Joe, you know how much respect I have
for you and for The Opps, but…”
“SHUT UP!”
Joe continued, “I’m gonna explain to you what’s about to
happen. There are consequences for the actions we choose to
engage in, Tony Schiavone. And tonight, my little Georgia
peach, consequences have come for you!”
The Opps jumped up on the apron to surround Schiavone, but
security ran out to get in between them.
Joe assessed the situation, “This is cute, Tony, but you
know you’re just getting more people hurt in this equation?”
HANGMAN IS HERE!
Page jumped in the ring and was held back by security as The
Opps went to the floor. However, Joe had more to say, “You
know what? This couldn’t have worked out better. Now we take
care of two problems at once!”
The Opps jumped back on the apron and security attempted to
get between everyone, but Eddie Kingston and HOOK ran out to
even the odds! Kingston even brought out a crutch for good
measure!
Now, Hangman had something to say, “Joe, Opps, I can forgive
you for being confused. That man is Tony Schiavone, not me.
The Hangman is right here. You’re right, I am your problem,
so if you wanna try to handle your problem, I will beat your
ass in my Wranglers!”
HOOK had something to add, “All right, so you guys are the
Trios Champions, right? Yeah, those belts you won without
me? Well, how ‘bout you prove you're some fighting champions
and put them on the line against us, tonight!”
An incensed Joe fired back, “You’re talking big to me? You
don’t talk to me like that, ever! And never a day in your
life do you speak to me like that. You want a shot at the
champs? All right, you guys versus The Opps, and we'll kick
your ass for the Trios Championship!”
Tony Khan has made it official! The main event for the AEW
World Trios Championships will be The Opps vs. Page,
Kingston, and HOOK!
Blood & Guts Advantage Battle Match 1: Claudio Castagnoli
def. Orange Cassidy
Cassidy didn’t wait for Castagnoli to get in the ring,
instead, flying through the ropes with a tope suicida to
send Castagnoli crashing into the announce desk. He
immediately hit another dive and mounted Castagnoli near the
timekeeper’s area to unload with punches. Castagnoli gorilla
pressed his way out of it and chucked Cassidy into the
ropes, which, as Bryan Danielson pointed out on commentary,
are actually made of steel cables, so the damage is worse.
While Cassidy tried to recover in the ring, Castagnoli took
his time taking off his entrance attire, so Cassidy bounced
back with a couple of slams to the turnbuckle until
Castagnoli cut it off to ground Cassidy. The bell finally
rang when Castagnoli got in the ring, and he went for a pop-
up uppercut, but Cassidy turned it into an armdrag to send
Castagnoli under the bottom rope. Cassidy went for another
tope, but Castagnoli was ready for it and took him halfway
around the ring in a stalled vertical suplex before throwing
him across the guardrail. But Castagnoli wasn’t done! He
snatched Cassidy back in a vertical suplex position and
walked him up the ring steps before slamming him on the mat!
What power!
Cassidy tried a slingshot DDT, but Castagnoli once again
caught him in a vertical suplex position. However, this
time, Cassidy maneuvered his way onto Castagnoli’s back in a
rear choke. Castagnoli tried to spin around to fling Cassidy
from his grasp, but OC hung on, and Castagnoli went down to
a knee. Castagnoli broke free by snapping Cassidy’s fingers
and turned that right into a giant swing, which sent OC to
the outside.
Castagnoli followed and punished Cassidy around the ringside
area, back into the ring, and back outside again. Once they
were back in the ring, Cassidy defiantly put his hands in
his pockets from his knees, so Castagnoli deadlifted him
into a suplex. Cassidy went back to the pockets from the
ground, so Castagnoli gutwrench suplexed him from the mat.
Once again, Cassidy went back to the pockets while face-down
on the canvas, so Castagnoli violently snatched him by the
waistband and threw him in the corner to unload with
uppercuts and body blows. Castagnoli sat Cassidy on the top
rope and nailed another vicious uppercut, but Cassidy sat up
and went to the pockets once again! With his hands firmly in
place, OC hit a hurricanrana from the top and followed with
a dropkick and sprung to his feet. Cassidy countered an
uppercut with a backslide for a two count and then smashed
Castagnoli with a PK to the face.
Cassidy chased Castagnoli to the outside and dove under the
turnbuckles feet first, but was caught by Castagnoli, only
for Cassidy to reverse it into a DDT on the floor!
“FRESHLY SQUEEZED!” “FRESHLY SQUEEZED!” “FRESHLY SQUEEZED!”
Cassidy hit another DDT from the top for another two count,
although it was clear that the damage was done. Castagnoli
rolled to the outside, so Cassidy went after him with the
Orange Punch. Castagnoli ducked it and caught Cassidy with a
Liger Bomb for a two count! Castagnoli quickly switched to a
crossface, and OC escaped by rolling into a pinning
predicament for another nearfall. The two traded reversals
until OC got a roll-up for two. Castagnoli grabbed Cassidy
by the midsection and just chucked him to the mat. He picked
him back up for a low-flying uppercut, but Cassidy still
found a way to kick out! Castagnoli took a few moments to
gather himself, so Cassidy rolled to the apron. When
Castagnoli followed, he locked Cassidy’s arms in the ropes
and unloaded with unprotected uppercuts.
Castangoli went to the second rope to suplex Cassidy from
the apron to the ring, but on the way down, OC hit a Stundog
Millionaire from the top! A fired-up Cassidy threw down his
elbow pad and went for the Orange Punch, but Castagnoli
countered with an uppercut. He held onto Cassidy’s arm and
tried a pop-up uppercut, only for Cassidy to come down with
an Orange Punch in mid-air! Cassidy called for another, but
Castagnoli popped him up for another uppercut and connected!
That was finally enough for Castagnoli to get the win. The
Death Riders take a 1-0 lead in the Blood & Guts Advantage
Battle!
Kyle Fletcher vs. Mark Briscoe Has Major Stipulations
Renee Paquette was with Mark Briscoe and TNT Champion “The
Protostar” Kyle Fletcher alongside Don Callis. Paquette
thanked everyone for agreeing to no physicality, but said
Briscoe asked for the time, so what is going on?
Briscoe said, “So two weeks ago, I challenged you, Kyle
Fletcher, to another match for your TNT Title. Now I
received a response from Don Callis, but I want a response
from you, Kyle.”
When Kyle went to respond, Briscoe cut him off, “I’m sorry,
I wasn’t quite finished. Now, here’s my thought process,
Kyle. At WrestleDream, it took a swift kick to the family
jewels for you to secure that victory and man, that can’t
feel good, man. That’s not a fulfilling victory. That’s
like, I don’t know, making out with your sister, or
something like that. So basically, what I’m trying to do
here is help you become a real man, Kyle Fletcher. Let’s
take the kick the balls and make that null and void. Let’s
make that meaningless. At Full Gear, Mark Briscoe, Kyle
Fletcher, TNT Title, no disqualification!”
Fletcher sarcastically responded, “I mean, Don. I think I
might actually like that. I think that would be a lot of
fun.”
Callis said he liked making Fletcher happy, so he addressed
Briscoe, “There’s something in it for you too, because if
you win, you get that TNT Title. That’s what you want,
right? Here’s the deal, though. Papi needs a little
something. So I’m gonna need something from you.”
Briscoe jumped in, “OK, Don. I guess you gonna ask for my
career? Title versus career? Is that what you want Don?”
Callis stopped him, “Whoa, whoa, whoa. I’d never want to end
your career. I love Mark Briscoe as a wrestler. I got
something much better for both of us in mind. If you lose,
or when you lose, to Kyle at Full Gear, you will join the
Don Callis Family, and you will leave those losers in The
Conglomeration forever. Just to be clear, I know this is
blowing your mind here, but make it about you for once. Not
the hungry mouths back in Delaware that you have to feed and
send all your money to. What about the Conglomeration
sucking the life out of you?”
Briscoe was fed up. “Shut up, Don, you done talked enough,
you silver-tongued snake. You trying to get me to make a
deal with the devil, but you know what? It’s only a deal
with the devil on my end, if I lose. But dammit, I ain’t
losing. At Full Gear, it’s you that has made a deal with the
devil. You got it, buddy!”
Million Dollar Trios Match is Official for Full Gear!
At Full Gear, Kenny Omega will team with Jurassic Express to
face Josh Alexander and the Young Bucks with one million
dollars on the line! Renee Paquette caught up with Matt and
Nick Jackson, Alexander, and Don Callis. Paquette asked if
it was safe to say that because they agreed to the match,
the Young Bucks have joined the Don Callis Family?
Matt said, “That’s a difficult question.”
Callis interrupted and said, “Renee, come on. Don’t put
these guys on the spot. They’re top talent.”
Callis switched his attention to the Bucks, “And how was the
Escalade from the airport? Nick, you get the care package
under the seat? Listen, when I saw what was going on with
this company, treating these generational, once-in-a-
millennium tag team like they’re a couple of marks, a couple
of jobbers, I said to the guys, if it takes every last penny
in my bank account, I am going to make sure they get the
treatment that they deserve. Because when you’re with me,
guys, you’re with a family.”
Then, the rest of the Don Callis Family walked in to
encourage the Bucks.
Callis continued, “Don’t take our word for it. Let me bring
in a good friend of yours to give a testimonial. Ladies and
gentlemen, THE RAINMAKER!”
AEW Unified Champion Kazuchika Okada walked up to the Bucks
and calmly said, “Hi guys.”
A befuddled Matt jumped back in, “This is a lot. We just
need a little bit more time. Thank you so much, guys. The
million dollar match sounds awesome.””
Callis understood, “Take your time. Guys, let’s give them a
little space. Come on, let’s go.”
Okada left them with some interesting final words, “Don’t
take too much
time.”
AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship Tournament
Quarterfinal: Babes of Wrath (Willow Nightingale and Harley
Cameron) def. ROH Women’s World Champion Athena & TBS
Champion Mercedes Moné
Athena attacked Nightingale from behind and followed her to
the outside while Moné went to work on Cameron in the ring
to get this match started. Moné and Athena worked over
Cameron in their corner with quick tags. Moné hit a big knee
lift from the apron, which earned her a near-fall. Athena
tagged back in and continued the assault with repeated
strikes to the head. Moné tagged back in but immediately ran
across to knock Nightingale off the apron.
Cameron finally showed some signs of life by avoiding a kick
to hit a backdrop driver, which allowed her to make the tag
to Nightingale for the first time in this match. Nightingale
unloaded with clotheslines and then stacked Moné and Athena
in the corner for a running splash. She threw them both from
the corner and hit a second-rope dropkick to put Moné and
Athena on the mat. Cameron tagged back in so she and
Nightingale could hit stereo kicks! Nightingale hit a
sidewalk slam on Moné and then assisted Cameron with a
splash onto the TBS Champion! But Athena made the save!
Athena sent Nightingale to the outside with a dropkick, but
when Cameron tried to grab Athena from behind, Moné stopped
her with a lungblower. Moné directed traffic and sent Athena
running while she held the ropes open for a big dive to
Nightingale on the outside. Back in the ring, Moné hit
Cameron with a meteora, followed by Athena picking up Moné
in a Gory Special to slam her onto Cameron! Moné thought she
had it, but Cameron kicked out!
Cameron couldn’t get anywhere near her corner for minutes,
and she looked like she was in dire straits when Moné went
into her Three Amigos suplexes. Moné decided to tag Athena
in for a double-team on the third suplex, but Cameron
escaped and took both down! Nightingale made the blind tag
and followed with a massive double clothesline! Nightingale
unloaded on Athena in the corner and followed with a
cannonball and a spinebuster, but Athena managed to kick
out!
Nightingale pulled Athena up to her feet, but she responded
with a forearm and tagged Moné. Nightingale grabbed Athena
in a fireman’s carry, but she slipped off the back as Moné
put Nightingale down with a crossbody for a two count. Moné
went for a head scissors, but Nightingale reversed it into a
sidewalk slam. She tagged Cameron back in and put Moné on
her shoulders. Moné escaped with a backstabber, but walked
right into Sole Food from Cameron! Athena hit a face-first
slam to Camer, only to be taken down by a Nightingale
lariat. Nightingale and Cameron sent Athena to the corner,
but she jumped up and countered with knees to both from the
top turnbuckle. Cameron got caught in the Statement Maker,
but Nightingale broke it up by pouncing Athena onto Moné!
Athena and Nightingale traded shots in the middle, with the
more powerful Nightingale getting the best of the exchange.
Moné tried to cut her off, so Nightingale dropped her with a
Death Valley driver. Willow turned her attention back to
Athena and missed a cannonball in the corner. Athena showed
her own power by lifting Nightingale and dropping her across
a rising knee, but Nightingale stumbled backwards into a tag
from Cameron. Athena didn’t see the tag, but still managed
to catch Cameron across her body while still carrying
Nightingale on her back! She threw both of them off with a
fallaway slam, but only got a two!
Billie Starkz came down to ringside, and Athena asked for
her ROH Women’s World Championship. As Starkz put it on the
apron, AEW Women’s World Champion Kris Statlander ran down
to stop Starkz and even the playing field. Statlander then
chased Moné around the ring, while back inside, Nightingale
stopped Athena from using the title by dropping her with a
Babe with the Powerbomb! Cameron hit Her Finishing Move on
Athena to get the win for the Babes of Wrath! They move on
to the semifinals to face the Sisters of Sin, Skye Blue and
Julia Hart!
The AEW National Champion Will Be Crowned in a Casino
Gauntlet Match!
Earlier in the night, we learned that Tony Khan decided to
bring back the National Title to TBS for the first time in
nearly 40 years. Tony Schiavone was back in the ring to
explain that the first AEW National Champion will be
determined by a Casino Gauntlet at Full Gear! And with so
many wrestlers trying to get in the match, it was time to
find out two who have already entered the fray. Schiavone
introduced Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin, who MVP
accompanied, as Houston serenaded The Hurt Syndicate.
Schiavone said that with both Benjamin and Lashley in the
match, it brings up an interesting situation for The Hurt
Syndicate. MVP spoke about the history of the National
Championship, including some of the greats to hold it, but
asked who is more iconic than Lashley? Who is better than
Benjamin?
But what happens if those two face off? MVP made it clear.
“You see, we are businessmen and we always do what’s best
for business. But I’ll tell you who wins. The Hurt Syndicate
wins, but more importantly, the AEW viewing audience wins.”
The Demand arrived on the ramp with Ricochet prepared to
speak alongside Toa Liona and Bishop Kaun.
Ricochet said, “Listen, guys, I promise, I will make this as
quick as possible. Because as a Philadelphia Eagles fan, I
don’t wanna be in this trash-ass state any longer than I
need to be. I just came out here because if anybody knows
Ricochet, I give credit where credit is due. And the three
of us wanted to come out here and give The Hurt Syndicate
the credit that they deserve. Seriously, it doesn’t matter
how decrepitly old you guys are. Each and every week, you
hobble your old asses out to my ring, and now you’re talking
about championship gold? Honestly, that’s amazing. At your
age, I admire you guys. I admire you. But look, every single
time that I open my mouth, I’m spitting nothing but facts.
Every single time I have a microphone, it seems like I’m
saying I told you so. Because I told every single one of you
morons watching in the audience and watching at home, that I
was going to do everything to make sure that you three
morons never win gold again. And that’s what happened, isn’t
it, Bob? How’s your back? Haha!”
Ricochet tried to say more, but Houston told him to shut up.
Still, he continued, “I’m out here for you three. Because
you’re really starting to piss me off. You’re starting to
make me a little mad.”
MVP heard enough, “Hey man, nobody cares about anything you
gotta say. The only thing you’ve ever done well is get your
asses kicked by us. You like to get hurt! Shut your mouth
before we come down there and beat that ass right now!”
Ricochet went back at MVP, “Look, the only thing you need to
know is at Full Gear, the demand will be met, and Ricochet
will be walking out as your inaugural AEW National
Champion!”
MVP got the final words, “You talk shit, we hurt people. Run
it.”
The Hurt Syndicate invited The Demand to the ring, but they
remained on the ramp and posed instead.
Jurassic Express Show Some Charity to the Young Bucks
“Jungle” Jack Perry told Luchasaurus that certain things are
more important than money, like friendship.
“And Bucks, I know you guys are going through a real rough
patch, so this should help.”
Perry stuck a large knife in a $100 bill outside of the Don
Callis Family locker room and walked away. Luchasaurus went
back to get it, but Perry scolded him and told him to leave
it.
Blood & Guts Advantage Battle Match 2: Darby Allin def.
Daniel Garcia
Allin stared Garcia down from the second turnbuckle as he
entered from the crowd without any of the other Death
Riders. Off the top, Allin controlled Garcia with a side
headlock until Garcia broke it by pulling at Allin’s ear. He
followed up with a shot to the windpipe that left Allin
gasping for air. As Allin tried to regain his breath on the
apron, Garcia choked him with the turnbuckle padding. Allin
fought back by capturing Garcia’s arm in the ringpost and
then wailing away on it before biting him! Garcia tried to
get away, so Allin followed him with a flip dive through the
ropes!
Allin slammed Garcia into the guardrail and kept up the pace
with a dropkick. He threw Garcia back in, so Garcia rolled
back out. When Allin chased after him, Garcia trapped Allin
on the ring apron and struck him unblocked multiple times
before throwing Allin into the steel steps. Garcia worked
over Allin for the next few minutes, but he made a mistake
and Allin grabbed a submission. Garcia reversed it and got a
rear choke, but Allin rolled back into a nearfall! Garcia
got the choke back on and hung Allin while he sat on the top
turnbuckle. Garcia put Allin back on the top and hit a
beautiful superplex. He hung on for another suplex, but
Allin reversed it into a Scorpion Death Drop!
It looked like Allin was primed for a Coffin Drop from the
top, but Garcia saw it and took out Allin’s legs, which sent
him crashing to the floor. Garcia went after him and trapped
Allin between the steep steps and ring post, which he made
even worse with a dropkick to the stairs! Garcia stopped
the referee’s count at five, and as Allin came up, he was
bloodied, but immediately clotheslined by PAC out of
nowhere! He hid in the timekeeper’s area and Allin looked
down and out. Somehow, Allin found enough energy to get back
in the ring to beat the count, only to collapse immediately.
Garcia chopped Allin back to the ground and took his time
cinching in a Scorpion Deathlock with a Sting-like howl to
add insult to injury! Allin fought to the ropes, but Garcia
pulled him back. Allin reversed the hold into a Scorpion
Deathlock of his own, and Garcia tapped out! Each side has
one win, with the deciding Match 3 between Jon Moxley and
Roderick Strong set to take place this Saturday night on AEW
Collision.
PAC hit the ring to attack Allin after the bell, so Orange
Cassidy ran out to make the save! Wheeler Yuta came out to
take down OC, and Garcia recovered as Claudio Castagnoli
arrived to give the Death Riders a bigger advantage.
Roderick Strong entered the fray, but was quickly
outnumbered. On the floor, Jon Moxley took down Kyle
O’Reilly before they could get in the ring. PAC hit a
piledriver on Cassidy as Castagnoli hit a Neutralizer on
Allin. Moxley tossed O’Reilly in the ring and had Castagnoli
hold him, but Strong returned with a flying knee to Moxley,
and the Death Riders scattered!
FTR Gets Personal with Brodido
Surprisingly, Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood came to the ring
without Big Stoke. Wheeler reminded everyone how they became
No. 1 contenders to the AEW World Tag Team Championships at
AEW Full Gear. He said they should be happy, but they were
mad because they should already be three-time AEW World Tag
Team Champions if not for Brodido winning at AEW Forbidden
Door. Wheeler called out Brodido to talk to them face-to-
face.
Brodido’s music played, but they didn’t come out. We went to
the back, where Renee Paquette was in front of Brodido’s
locked locker room, as they banged on the door to get out.
Big Stoke just happened to be standing nearby on his phone,
so Paquette asked what was going on. Stoke played dumb and
said he’s been trying to get them out all night. He asked
Paquette if she wanted to watch The Wire because it’s on HBO
Max! Big Stoke Synergy!
Back in the ring, Harwood mocked what happened to Brodido
and was upset he couldn’t shake their hands before Full
Gear. He said they have the second-best thing and introduced
Bandido’s family, who were sitting at ringside. FTR went out
to them, including Bandido’s abuela as well as his brother,
Gravity. Every time Harwood asked her a question, he would
pull the microphone away and insult her.
“If we’re talking Day of the Dead, sister, you take the
cake.”
He even offered to adopt her as their abuela because she
must be so embarrassed by Bandido and Gravity. He tried to
get her to kiss him on the cheek, so she swatted him away.
Gravity had had enough and tried to fight them both, but FTR
were too much.
We heard more banging on a door and saw Big Stoke still
watching The Wire outside Brodido’s locker room. All of a
sudden, a giant fist came crashing through the door and
grabbed Stoke! He escaped what appeared to be Brody King and
ran towards the ring. FTR had Gravity set up for the stuff
piledriver, but they stopped when Stoke came out. King and
Bandido hit the ring to save Gravity and chase FTR from the
ring!
Blood & Guts Advantage Battle Match 1: Megan Bayne def. Mina
Shirakawa
Before the match got underway, “Timeless” Toni Storm made
her way to the announce table to do commentary for her
partner’s match. This was Storm’s first appearance since
losing to AEW Women’s World Champion Kris Statlander at AEW
WrestleDream.
Shirakawa tried to start fast, but the much bigger Bayne
thwarted every attempt. Shirakawa didn’t let up, instead
choosing to chop down Bayne by the legs. Shirakawa knocked
Bayne to the outside with a dropkick and scaled the top rope
to hit a crossbody onto Bayne! Back in the ring, Bayne met
Shirakawa on the top rope and threw her with a fallaway
slam!
Bayne remained in control until Shirakawa was able to get a
trip and a tornillo for a nearfall. Bayne ducked a spinning
backfist and caught Shirakawa with a couple of big throws.
On the apron, Bayne tried for a suplex, but Shirakawa
blocked it and nailed Bayne with a big kick to the head. She
followed with a suplex of her own on the apron! Once again,
Shirakawa scaled the ropes, but Bayne was there to meet her
and nailed a superplex. Bayne tried a powerbomb, so Mina
reversed it into a hurricanrana into the corner. Shirakawa
went to the top yet again and hit a slingblade, but Bayne
kicked out!
Shirakawa called for the Glamorous Driver, but all of a
sudden Marina Shafir choked Storm from the crowd! Shirakawa
was distracted by the commotion and walked right into a
flying clothesline from Bayne. While Storm fought off Shafir
on the outside, Bayne hit a running Liger Bomb to get the
win and take a 1-0 advantage for her side.
After the match, Shafir threw Storm into the steel steps and
then went into the ring to double-team Shirakawa. Before
they could do much, Storm cleared them out with a chair.
However, Triangle of Madness came out to swing the odds in
their favor, so Jamie Hayter, Willow Nightingale and Harley
Cameron hit the ring to make it even! Mercedes Moné ran out,
but had second thoughts and stopped at the apron. Statlander
was behind her and took her down. She got in the ring to
join her team and clear out their Blood & Guts opponents for
next week!
AEW World Trios Championship Match: The Opps (Samoa Joe,
Powerhouse Hobbs and Katsuyori Shibata) (c) def. AEW World
Champion “Hangman” Adam Page, HOOK & Eddie Kingston
Page and Shibata began our main event, throwing absolute
bombs at each other, with each having some success until
Page got control to tag in HOOK. Shibata quickly handled
HOOK and brought in Hobbs. HOOK tried to go toe-to-toe with
Hobbs, but a pair of backbreakers put him down. HOOK somehow
bounced back with an overhead throw, although his back was
clearly in bad shape. Kingston got in, as HOOK was checked
out on the outside by the medical staff. Kingston was
isolated for some time by Joe until he moved out of the way
of a running senton. Joe tagged Hobbs, but Kingston tagged
Page!
Page went after all three members of The Opps and had them
on the outside, so he went to the top for a moonsault. Hobbs
got back in the ring, so Hangman adjusted and still hit the
moonsault for a near-fall! Page was sent to the ropes, so
Kingston made a blind tag and Page dove out the opposite
side onto Shibata.
Kingston floored Hobbs, but walked into a big shot from Joe.
HOOK knocked Joe from the ring, so Shibata put HOOK down
with a leg trip. Page and Kingston had Shibata set up for a
Buckshot/Uraken combo until Hobbs pulled Page from the apron
and slammed him back-first into the corner of the ring!
Kingston tried to dive at Hobbs, but Hobbs nailed him on the
way down, and Shibata suplexed Kingston back into the ring.
Hobbs shoulder-tackled Page up the ramp, and the two fought
on the ramp until Hobbs hit a front slam from the stage
through a table on the floor! Hobbs had decimated the AEW
World Champion!
Back in the ring, Shibata and Joe had Kingston in deep
trouble, until Kingston ducked a Shibata kick that landed on
Joe instead! Kingston hit a throw on Shibata, who rolled to
the outside. Hobbs returned to the ring and pushed Kingston
into the corner, which gave HOOK the chance to make a tag,
although he didn’t appear to be in much better shape.
He tried to get Hobbs in REDRUM, but Hobbs powered him up
into a torture rack, and HOOK quickly tapped out. The Opps
walked away from the main event STILL AEW World Tag Team
Champions.
However, before Dynamite came to a close, we found out Page
and Hobbs will battle it out next week in a Falls Count
Anywhere match from Greensboro, North Carolina!
