I missed last week.  Anything happen?  We are all the way live tonight for AEW Dynamite.  Jim Ross, Excalibur and Tony Schiavone welcome us and we are off to the races!  Milwaukee is rocking and we are immediately treated to highlights of some big thing that happened Friday night.

Interestingly enough, no one at ringside.  Cassidy immediately puts his hand in his pockets and lays those vicious leg kicks.  Hardy DELETES them and pulls cash out og his pocket.  Dropkick by Cassidy and he puts some of that cash in the pocket.  Hardy catches a tope suicida and hits a side effect.  Hardy drapes Cassidy across the post and poses for the crowd.  Back in the ring, Hardy with a bodyslam, followed by another.  Belly to back by Hardy and he collects the rest of his cash.  Hardy with mock kicks to Cassidy.  Another slam by Hardy followed by an elbow for 2.  Hardy with punches and a stomp in the corner.  Hardy rains forearms to the back into a vertical suplex.  Hardy picks Cassidy's pocket for thr $100 he took earlier.  Back elbow by Hardy for 2 after a legdrop.

Surfboard by Hardy, Milwaukee gets behind Cassidy.  Cassidy evades a charge and heads to the top.  Hardy gets out of the way and avoids a beach break.  Splash Mt. for 2 by Hardy.  Cassidy rolls away and sends Hardy to the outside and hits the tope suicida.  Splash off the top by Cassidy into a DDT for 2.  Hardy is bleeding heavily from the nose.  Hardy stops Cassidy on the rope and tries a superplex.  Cassidy shoves him off and and hits a senton off the top.  Hardy blocks a twist of fate and nails an elbow for 2. Cassidy nails a twist of fate for 2.  Hardy misses a twist of fate and Cassidy rolls him up for the pin.

Malakai Black with some very ominous comments for Brock Anderson ahead of tonight's main event.  Black wants an apology from Brock Anderson. Black threatens the entire Nightmare Factory

Chris Jericho comes out a loud serenade. We see highlights of MJF's win in last weeks fifth Labor of Jericho.  Chris loves the way Milwaukee sounds but he laments his 3rd loss to MJF.  He's obsessed and sleep deprived.  He laments the Labors and says he does it because he has to.  His failure is drving him crazy.  Le Champion has a proposal: One more match.  One final fight at All Out.  If Jericho can't beat MJF, then he doesn't belong in AEW.  He'll never wrestle in AEW ever again if he loses.  Here comes MJF, sporting a 3-0 shirt.  He wants Jericho to leave him alone and go away.  He says Jericho is jealous of the rise of MJF.  MJF mocks Fozzy (THOSE are fighting words!).  He will be very happy to become the legend who ended Jericho.  MJF accepts!  We're official for All Out.

The Varsity Blonds with some pre match words for the Lucha Bros ahead of their big match in the Title Eliminator tournament.

We see highlights of CM Punk's historic return Friday night.  Tony Schiavone is in the ring and he brings out the Man of the Hour, CM Punk.  Milwaukee is very happy to see him.  I hope they get ice cream bars too.  Punk says he can't hear Tony over the roar of the crowd.  Tony wants to know what brought him back.  He lists off young stars like Penta, Fenix, Pillman.  But before he gets to them, there's one guy.  The crowd chants "Darby".  Punk sees Allin and wants to know if he (Punk) can still go.  Can CM Punk still be the best in the world.  He says Darby would have been favorite.  He has to beat Allin to prove he's still the best.  He asks if he can still the best and the crowd chants "YES".  He tells them to stop.  That's someone else's schtick and we'll have to be patient for him.  He tells AJ Lee that he loves her.

Backstage, Miro admits he is wrong.  God reminded him that Fuego is not an original sinner.  Eddie Kingston will be redeemed.  Miro's wife will love him because he is the redeemer.

The Men of the Year are with the leader of American Top Team. He runs down the babyfaces of AEW down as well as their fans.  

Arn Anderson with some pre match comments.  

Brock Anderson w/Arn Anderson vs. Malakai Black

Black's entrance is amazing.  I'd ask how WWE blew it with him but that's redundant at this point.  Should I write WINNER: Malakai Black now or later?  I love what Brock Anderson brings to the table, he's a frigging Anderson, for crying out loud, but this will not end well for him.  Double leg and ground and pound by Brock.  Vicious knee by Black and he fires away in the corner.  Big right hand by Black. Arn may want to throw that towel in, but he refuses.  Punches to the quads by Brock.  Exploder by Black.  Black Mass by Black, he just walks around the prone Anderson before scoring the pin.

WINNER: Malakai Black

Black grabs a chair and Arn stares him down.  Arn blocks the Back Mass.  Black with a low blow kick and a Black Mass to Arn and broods in the ring as we go to credits.
