It’s Wednesday and AEW Dynamite is live from the Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, FL, and our commentary team is Excalibur, Bryan Danielson, and Taz.
It’s the 6th anniversary show, and I have been here with PWInsider for all of it because I am insane.
We start with Excalibur running down the card, and then we see the Young Bucks prepping for a BIG entrance. After Matt goes to set things up, Nick loses ALL of their money at the casino.

Matt tags in and gets an arm drag on Kenny. Brody tags in and takes out the Bucks, and then Bandido tags in and Brody tosses him into the Bucks. Bandido dodges a series of kicks and gets an arm drag off the ropes. The Bucks land on their feet and Bandido gets a double hurricanrana, and by now, everyone has done the Macarena after a big move.

The Bucks break up a pin on Josh, and they try to double-team him, but Bandido gets a blind tag, and they double-team the Bucks.

Omega grabs a mic and he is so glad that everyone has been with him on the journey since day one, and everyone who has joined along the way. It’s a nice rah-rah speech.
The lights go out, and when they come back on, a masked figure is in the ring, and when they unmask, it’s Andrade El Idolo and he lays out Omega. Callis gets in the ring and holds his hand up in victory.
They have a quick highlight reel of AEW moments.
