AEW DYNAMITE REPORT

It is Wednesday and AEW Dynamite is coming to us from the Keybank Center in Buffalo, NY. Our commentary team is Excalibur, Taz, and Tony Schiavone.

MJF is on his way to the ring and has something to say, but before he says anything, Daniel Garcia comes to the ring. He thanks MJF for saving him last week, and since we are in his hometown, everything here is his business. He says he’s going to do something no one in the back has ever done before.

He’s gonna say nice things about MJF! He said MJF talked him up backstage, allowed him to have a world title shot, but that was embarrassing for him. But that motivated him to become someone people can respect. He doesn’t want to be a pillar, he wants to be the backbone that AEW can build on. 

He says that if MJF talks crap now, he will look two faced. 

MJF says he didn’t come out to talk trash. He came out to shill for Forbidden Door and his return to Collision. His second reason for coming out was to ask Garcia something, but first, he thanks Garcia and shakes his hand. He says no one talks about the good things he does behind the scenes. He says no one in the back is good enough to take his spot, but Garcia is getting close. 

He says he gave Garcia a shot because he earned it. He puts over Garcia but then says he beat his ass without breaking a sweat. He then goes over how Garcia has improved by busting his ass. So maybe it’s time he gets one more shot at the king at All In.

Garcia says it is huge, but they are interrupted by Will Ospreay. Ospreay puts over Garcia as well. He then gives Garcia a match for his International title for next week. Garcia accepts. Ospreay leaves the ring and MJF looks irritated that he has been upstaged. 

MJF says that the title shot is a massive opportunity and he needs to focus on that. He then leaves Garcia in the ring.

In the back Swerve squads that Ospreay is giving out title matches before he’s won the title means he’s putting the cart before the horse.  Not a good move and shows he’s not ready to be champion. He then says that Ospreay better not slack off during their main event tag team.

Blackpool Combat Club (Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, and Claudio Castagoli) vs Los Ingobernables de Japon (Shingo Takagi, Hiromu Takahashi, and Titan)

Bryan Danielson joins commentary.

Claudio and Takagi start off, and quickly go to running the ropes, and Claudio gets a shoulder tackle and then a side headlock. They run the ropes again and try shoulder tackles and neither drop, so they trade blows. Takagi tries for a back slade, but Claudio blocks it. Takagi gets a hip toss and both men tag out.

We then get Takahashi and Yuta, and Takahashi gets a tejaris and charges in the corner into a drop kick off the ropes. Titan is tagged in after Takahashi and Takagi get a double shoulder block.

In the back, The Young Bucks say that the Acclaimed took advantage of them, but they are still tag team champions. They then say Jack Perry will be the TNT champion. They say that the Wild Card will be a member of The Elite. 

The Acclaimed are on their way to the ring without a rap as we go to commercial. When we come back, Bowens runs down the Young Bucks using a phrase that TBS has to censor. Max says they are strategizing the best time to issue their challenge. Okada and the Bucks interrupt the scissoring.

Chris Jericho comes to the ring with Large William and Bryan Keith. William says that Jericho taught him when one door closes another, maybe a Forbidden Door, opens. Jericho says he is only in AEW to help the young buys and it’s not fair that Samoa Joe and Hook hurt Bryan Keith.  Jericho says he’s found someone to take Keith’s place. He says he hasn’t seen the video yet, and wants to see it for the first time with the fans.

On the screen is Minoru Suzuki. He says he heard Jericho wants him to be his partner, but he doesn’t want to wrestle with Jericho. He wants to wrestle Jericho because he hates how soft Jericho is now. He says Jericho has to put the FTW title on the line and wrestle him. 

Keith says that Jericho is no chicken, but Jericho looks sick to his stomach. 

Samoa Joe, Hook, and Shibata come out and Joe says this is awkward. Joe says that they have watched every Learning Tree segment to learn everything about Jericho and Shibata says it best.  Shibata’s phone then says “Oh brother, this guy sucks.”

Jericho slaps Joe. The tree is about to learn.

AND THE BRAWL BEGINS. AND THE BRAWL ENDS. It ends quickly with Jericho and his team tossed from the ring and head to the back.
