It is Wednesday, and AEW Dynamite is in the Schottenstein Center in Columbus OH. Our commentary team is Excalibur, Taz and Tony Schiavone.

Orange Cassidy vs Jay Lethal

Cassidy immediately gets a go behind and a roll up for a two. He then gets a side headlock on Lethal. When Lethal escapes, he and Cassidy trade arm drags. Cassidy’s hands are in his pockets and Lethal tries a series of moves, including a Lethal Injection that Cassidy stops with a drop kick to the back. Lethal goes to the outside and Cassidy dives onto him and then hits the soft kicks and Lethal crawls to Stanam Singh.

Satnam knocks Cassidy back down the ramp and then the Best Friends come front he back one on top of the other with a coat so that they are doing the “two kids pretending to be an adult thing.”  I laughed at it.  A nice little funny bit. 

Back in the ring Lethal is able to get a Dragon Screw on Cassidy and then is tossed to the floor. Lethal then attacks Cassidy’s leg with the steel steps. He keeps up the attack as we go picture in picture.

When we return to full screen, Cassidy is on his back trying to kick free from Lethal’s attack. Cassidy is up and he is able to attack Lethal in the corner. Lethal gets an avalanche Dragon Screw from the top and locks on a figure four. Cassidy is able to get to the ropes for a break. Lethal tries for a stalling suplex, but Cassidy reverses it to a stundog millionaire. Lethal Lethal is able to recover and turns Cassidy’s spinning DDT into a Lethal combination. Lethal goes to the top and as he sets up for the big elbow, Cassidy rolls to the other side of the ring, slowly. 

Cassidy then goes up and Lethal stop hi9m with a chop. They fight on the top and the crowd is LOUD for Cassidy. Cassidy gets the diving DDT and then a spinning DDT for a two count. Cassidy limps to the corner and is unable to run for the Orange Punch. Cassidy says he can’t stand on the knee, and Lethal pulls him up for a power bomb. Casssidy reverses it for a beach break. He goes for the Orange Punch and collapses. Lethal grabs him and Cassidy gets a small package for a two.  

Lethal hits the Lethal Injection and the three.

Winner: Jay Lethal

Sonjay goes to the ring with a mic and mocks Cassidy. He then asks Lethal for his thoughts on Wardlow. Lethal says he may want to come out right now, since he is going to put the figure four on Cassidy and break his leg.

The Best Friends come out to break it up and they are followed by Wardlow. Lethal, Singh and Dutt bail, and Dutt has a mic and says Wardlow should go train. Because he should put his TNT title against His Man. 

Notice he didn’t say Lethal.

Wardlow has a mic and says he will fight any time anywhere, and he will whoop that ass

We get a video package of Hook winning the FTW title. 

It’s time for the Undisputed Elite.

Story time with Adam Cole, and he’s happy to be back with his friends. He is still not medically cleared, but he has used the time off to think about things. He says he is thinking about what they can fix. He says it’s all about loyalty. 

This brings him to the trios tournament. He says he would love for them to win the trios tournament, but he’s not medically cleared, and Bobby Fish is cleared and the Young Bucks won’t team with Kyle O'Reilly. They won’t be in the tournament.  He then says he means they won’t be able to be in the tournament, and reDRagon attacks the Young Bucks. 

Adam Page runs to the ring with a steel pipe and runs off reDRagon and Adam Cole. 

The Bucks and Page are on opposite sides of the ring, and Page offers his hand to Matt and helps him up. Page then leaves.

We then get a promo from Jon Moxley about Wheeler Yuta vs Chris Jericho. He doesn’t care who wins. When he gets in the ring he is going after his opponent and he won’t stop until someone goes to the hospital. The BCC will make the Hart Dungeon look like a day care. Another great promo from Mox.
