AEW DYNAMITE REPORT

By Anthony Pires on 2024-01-03 20:28:00

It's Wednesday!!!  That means AEW Dynamite is LIVE!!!! Excalibur, Taz and Tony Schiavone have the call of the action from Newark, NJ.

We see post match comments from the new AEW World Champion Samoa Joe.  We then see highlights of the World Title match from World's end, including Adam Cole's shocking reveal as the Devil.

Speaking of Cole, here he comes to kick off the show. Along with Roderick Strong, The Kingdom & Wardlow. Cole finds it ironic that people were shocked. He's upset that people think he's the bad guy here.  He reminds us all that MJF has turned on everyone he's ever known. He tells us that we will all someday thank him.  He tells us that MJF would have done the same thing the second he didn't need Cole. This was all about destroying MJF to his core.  He says the Undisputed Kingdom is here to stay. They make it clear that Roderick Strong wants the International Title. Wardlow will win the AEW World title and forfeit it to Cole.  Wardlow nods "yes".

Switchblade Jay White comes out. White says he's a fan of what happened to MJF but does not like being collateral damage. He brings out the Gunn Club and we have a brawl. Bullet Club Gold is outnumbered but the Acclaimed & Billy Gunn come out and clear the ring. We have a stare down.  Bullet Club Gold exits the ring.

We see comments from new American Triple Crown Champion Eddie Kingston.

We get a pre tape by Daniel Garcia ahead of his match tonight with Swerve Strickland.
