RETURNS & PIPEBOMBS & BRAWLS: AEW DYNAMITE REPORT

By Cory Strode on 2022-08-17 20:02:00

It is Wednesday and AEW Dynamite is in Charleston, West Virginia at the Charleston Coliseum. Our commentary team is JIm Ross, Excalibur, Tony Schiavone, and Taz.

We start with CM Punk, and he’s got something to say.

He says he hasn’t been here for a while, and he is challenging Adam Page for a rematch right here, right now. Page does not come out and he says it’s not Cowboy sh!t it’s coward sh!t. Punk then says he is owed an apology. He says that while Moxely has a lot of fans and he is number one in their heart, but he’s not number one in this ring. He is the guy who always has Moxley’s number and he’s the third best guy in his own group, which is a theme in his career.

He then talks about how Moxley talks about breaking bones, but he’s the only one who’s broken bones. He then says that Eddie Kingson is the 3rd best Eddie and the 2nd best Kingston he’s shared a locker room with.

 

He keeps ending each statement with “Tell me when I’m telling lies.”

He is challenging Moxley at All Out. 

This is when Jon Moxley comes out, and PUnk says he has time for Mox to get to the ring and he is going to do snow angles.

When Mox does get to the ring, he mocks Punki and says he’s dropping pipe bombs. He’s writing checks with his mouth his body can’t cash. Mox says Punk isn’t  even the best wrestler in catering. Mox says Punk’s belt and his belt don’t mean sh!t until they fight. 

Mox says that Punk ran out of fighting spirit a long time ago, and tells him to prove him wrong. 

Punk says he’s scared if he touches him now, he’ll just bleed all over him. They start with going face to face, then slaps and then they go after each other and security floods the ring to tear them apart.

Great pull apart with both men trying to get at each other in different ways. 

In the back, Tony Schiavone asks Powerhouse Hobbs why he attacked Ricky Starks. He says that Ricky said he is OK with losing, and he hid behind Hobbs. He says he breaks backs and he has something for QT Marshall and The Factory too.

Jericho leaves the ring and the crowd chants “You’re a wrestler.”

In the back, Tony Schiavone has Swerve in Our Glory and Private Party. Private Party says they are now ranked, they are ranked number 5. They have words, and I liked that Keith Lee offered Private Party a stick of gum after they got up in his face.

Cage says his answer is no. He says things are getting out of hand. Cage says believe it or not, he’s proud of him and how much he’s improved after the last year. Cage then gets in the ring and he says he was frustrated when they lost the tag team title and both said things they didn’t mean. Cage says he doesn’t want to fight, he wants to fix things.

The crowd does not believe him, but Cage says they haven’t accomplished anything in their lives. At the end of the day, Cage says they are family and he loves him and he should come back home.
