It’s Wednesday and AEW Dynamite is live from Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, FL. and our commentary team is Excalibur, Bryan Danielson, and Taz.
We start with Tony Schiavone in the ring for a face to face with Hangman Adam Page and Samoa Joe. Page says he has gone through a lot with AEW but now he is confused by Samoa Joe losing it and punching Page in the face. He says Joe has been angry with himself for a long time and distracted from what is important, so he gets his chance at the title at WrestleDream. Page says he owes Joe for making sure the fight between him and Jon Moxley would be a fair one. He will give Joe a chance but he will not let Joe take the title from him.
Joe says what Page says is true, but his problem is that when he looks at Page, he sees a pretender. Page wouldn't be champion without the Opps. Joe says he was so bloodlusted going after the Death Riders, he should be going after the champion. He then says that Page’s open challenge is a scam, and Joe is coming to collect what is owed. He says Page is a fraud, and he is here to check him. Joe then says in their match, Page will get the opportunity to show he is the man, and at that moment, Joe will choke him out and take the belt.
The crowd chants for Joe and Page says he is tired of having to explain to people that the proof is with him winning against tough guys. He says for every shot Joe gives him, he will give two back. He says Joe cannot out last him. He says he wants Joe to bring the energy he had at All In, and when he beats Joe, he hopes Joe shakes his hand.
Joe oddly comes off as a heel here.
Alicia Atout is with the Conglomeration, and Mark Briscoe says that the word of the day is Multifacifcation. Yes, spell check, I know it’s not a real word.
He talks about Willow Nightingale’s match on Saturday and that tonight is Kyle vs Kyle 2. He says the Orange Cassidy is back and will be taking on Pac. He then says that Tomohiro Ishii is taking on Jon Moxley. Kyle O’Reilly brings everyone but Roderick Strong’s hands in for a Go Team.

Ishii shoulder tackles Mox to the floor and they trade strikes and chops. Ishii is run head first into the ring post, and it doesn’t phase him and Ishii does the same, and it does phase Mox. As the ref is helping Mox, Shafir rakes Ishii’s eyes on the apron. Mox then kicks Ishii off the apron as we go to picture in picture.
When we return to full screen, Mox breaks the figure four he has Ishii in at the last second with Ishii getting to the ropes. Mox grabs Ishii’s face and then tries beating him down in the corner while jacking his jaws. Ishii gets up and throws hands before giving a brain buster to Mox.
