AEW DYNAMITE FRIGHT NIGHT REPORT

It is Wednesday and Dynamite is in the Wolstein Center in Cleveland OH. Our commentary team is Excalibur, Matt Menard, and Tony Schiavone.

IT’S FRIGHT NIGHT!  I wonder if Tony Khan will dress up like Leatherface again.

In the back we see the aftermath of the attacks on Chuck Tyalor last week by Mox’s team. 

The show starts with Orange Cassidy coming to the ring with a mic and without entrance music. He tells the crowd not to chant for him and he doesn’t tell people he is a leader for ten minutes. But after seeing Chuck Taylor attacks last week, he was surrounded by the people he should have been. He was surrounded by brave people who were very, very young. He says they have no idea how dangerous Jon Moxley is. He knew at that moment what he needed to do.

He says if Jon Moxley gets his way, there will be no AEW. He needs AEW, and now he knows he needs to stop this and make sure nobody else gets hurt. He will do it on his own and challenge Jon Moxley for the world title. He will take it out of Mox’s bag and put it in his backpack. He tells Mox to let him know, he’s not hard to find.

Renee Paquette meets Mercedes Mone and Kamille as they come in and Mone says her prediction is that Kamille will win and doesn’t need luck.

Adam Cole vs Buddy Murphy

They shake hands before locking up. They tie up collar and elbow and Buddy forces them into the corner and break clean. They lock up again and go to the opposite corner and break clean again. They lock up again a few more times and Cole grabs a side headlock and Buddy whips him off and Cole gets a shoulder tackle and Buddy doesn’t budge. Buddy gets a shoulder tackle and Cole drops. They run the ropes and Cole keeps hitting shouler tackles and Buddy yells at him to come on. 

The pace continues to be slow and deliberate. They move to waistlocks and then they try to get an attack in the corner. Cole drops to the floor off the apron and sells an ankle twist. Buddy gets a kick from the apron as we go to picture in picture.

When we return to full screen, Buddy gets an avalanche superplex from the top, but Cole responds with a neckbreaker and both men are down. They brawl on the apron, and Cole gets a DDT and they both fall to the floor. When they get into the ring, Cole gets another DDT for two. Cole goes to the top and goes for the Panama Sunrise, but Buddy is able to block it and gets a series of attacks on Cole’s ankle. He then stomps on the ankle on the steel steps. 

Cole is with the doctor and referee and ringside and Cole says he refuses to stop, and the doctor says he has to stop and starts bringing him to the back.,

Buddy says this proves he’s fragile, and the new Adam Cole is a little bitch. Cole storms to the ring and they throw hands. Buddy goes back to work on the ankle. Cole gets to his feet and tells Buddy to take the ankle and hits superkicks. He starts for the knee strike, but his ankle gives out and Buddy hits him with a leaping knee and then a curb stomp for two. 

The doctor looks at his ankle again and Buddy grabs the towel and tells him to give up. Cole tosses the towel away and hits a series of kicks. Cole gets the running knee for two. Cole goes to the top and goes for the Panama Sunrise again, but Cole blocks it, and picks Cole up and tosses him into the turnbuckles. He gets a stomp and covers for one, but Cole kicks out and is up. We see MJF watching the match. Cole gets a superkick in the corner, hits the Panama Sunrise and Buddy goes to the floor. Cole gets another Panama Sunrise, this time on the floor. Cole rolls Buddy into the ring and gets the Boom Knee to the back of Buddy’s head for the pin and the win.

Cole says he knows what Buddy did and he appreciates it. He awoke who Adam Cole really is and thanks him. They shake hands and the lights go out. When the lights come up, Black is the one shaking Cole’s hand. Cole is helped to the back by the doctor.

In the back, Renee is with Private Party and Christopher Daniels, and Daniels says they had the same issue with Frankie Kazarian, and he wants them to think about what they are risking tonight. Private Party says history will not repeat itself and they will leave Cleveland as the Tag Team Champions. 

In the back, Cole is with the rest of Undisputed Kingdom, and he blames MJF for pretending that their friendship would ever work. He then goes over all of the people MJF betrayed. He says MJF needs to be taught a hard lesson, but it needs to happen because he cares about AEW. He says he will get his hands on MJF at Full Gear. 

Kyle Fletcher in his new look and Don Callis has a mic. He tells the crowd Kyle has something important to say. Kyle says he is calling out Will Ospreay. He calls for Will to come out, but he doesn’t, and as he starts to speak, the Aussie Open music starts. Mark Davis, Kyle’s Aussie Open tag team partner. 

Kyle goes for a hug, and Mark holds him off. Mark says Kyle is calling out someone who is home recovering, a man they called brother, and he doesn’t know who he is looking at. Kyle says Callis has helped him see the truth. He then says that Mark has a spot in the family. Mark says they had an empire and he destroyed it, and he turns to walk away.

Kyle says a day will come when he has to make a decision, and he has no problem cutting the past loose. 

In the back, Renee is with Adam Page. Page says that in July, Jay White entered the Owen Hart tournament, and he knocked him out and he hurt White so bad he was out for three months. Page says there is no such thing as redemption. There are only wins and losses and the consequences from them. He says White will go for his leg, but White doesn’t know what his strategy is. Page talks about things he may do, but at the end of Full Gear, he will beat White, stand over him with his hand raised, leaving White with less than he had before.

Mox’s team is on their way to the ring. 

Mox says that he doesn’t expect people to understand what he is doing. Mox says that Cassidy thinks he challenges him, but no, he challenged Cassidy and removed his friend to make him focus. Mox says he is pushing Cassidy and he hasn’t even started to push him yet. Mox says when they meet, he better be ready to face him in the valley because this ring is the valley he will die in. Cassidy said nobody’s gonna get hurt, but Mox says they will see about that.

Mox’s team grabs Yuta and Claudio grabs a chair to wrap around Yuta’s head. Cassidy runs to the ring to stop it, and Cassidy is attacked. Yuta joins in the attack on Cassidy. Dark Order hits the ring to save Cassidy and they are taken out easily. The chair is wrapped around Cassidy’s head.
