AEW DYNAMITE was broadcast on TBS and streamed on MAX live
from Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, CA!
Excalibur, “The Human Suplex Machine” Taz, and Tony
Schiavone were the broadcast team for tonight’s event.
It’s Wednesday night and you know what that means!
Cope arrived in the back of an ambulance!
Cope: “Death Riders, I just want to show you your ride
tonight.”
Footage played from earlier in the day of MJF getting his
tattoo removed!
MJF: “I’ve watched on as hypocrites have cheered for Adam
Page when I’m right here. Now I’m truly going to bet on
myself. You people chose him? I used to believe in three
letters. I used to believe in A-E-W. Now I only believe in
M-J-F.”
“Hangman” Adam Page vs. Aaron Solo!
Page booted Solo in the head! Page clobbered Solo in the
corner in a fit of rage. Solo connected with a corkscrew
kick. Page retaliated with a clothesline. Page followed up
with the Buckshot Lariat and pinned Aaron Solo!
Page: “There are three things that I hate in this world and
one of them is when MJF spits in my face. So I am going to
sit right here until someone finds me MJF, and they drag him
into this ring so I can give him the beating of a lifetime!”
MJF walked onto the ramp with a bloody towel.
MJF: “Hangman you want to fight me right now in front of all
these people? Dude, are you nuts? Look at you. You’re
heartless, dude. I’m not fighting you right now. I don’t
even know if I have a prayer on March 9th at Revolution on
pay-per-view. I’m going to leave and go get ready for this
match.
“Silly me. I totally forgot why I came out here. I’m awfully
worried about your friend. You should probably check on him.
I guess now is the time we find out who is actually real!”
Christopher Daniels was shown backstage, battered and
bloodied!
Hangman went to the back with a steel chair! “Where did he
go!? yelled Page.
The Don Callis Family were shown sitting in a skybox.
Renee Paquette was backstage trying to get a word with ROH
World Champion Chris Jericho!
Jericho: “I know what you’re doing here. I think you want to
apologize to me for the way you treated me last week,
right?”
Renee wanted to know how the match came together between
Will Ospreay and Bryan Keith.
Don Callis was in Jericho’s locker room with Mark Davis.
Jericho: “I chose to help Bryan Keith. He has what it takes
to be a champion in AEW and to beat Will Ospreay tonight.”
Callis: “That’s all I need to hear!”
Bounty Match!
“Bounty Hunter” Bryan Keith vs. “The Aerial Assassin” Will
Ospreay!
Keith clubbed Will with forearms. Will took down Keith with
a hurracanrana. Keith chopped Will in the windpipe. Will
used an arm drag on Bryan Keith. Will scoop slammed Keith
and followed up with a standing sky twister press.
“Ospreay makes these things look easy,” said Taz.
Keith rolled out of the ring, but Ospreay, undaunted, threw
his body over the top rope and connected with a cross body
press. Bryan Keith charged at Will and pump kicked Will in
the head.
Don Callis and Kyle Fletcher were watching from the skybox.
Ospreay nailed Keith with a springboard elbow strike. Bryan
Keith chopped down Will with a lariat. Ospreay fired back
with a Stundog Millionaire and then an Os Cutter for a near
fall! Ospreay went for the Hidden Blade, but Keith countered
with a knee strike. Keith planted Will with an Emerald
Driver.
The fans chanted “This is awesome! This is awesome!”
Ospreay hit a Style Clash and then the Hidden Blade on Bryan
Keith to score the pin!
Ospreay charged up to the sky box, but Fletcher charged
down. Both men began to brawl until security separated them!
TBS Champion “The CEO” Mercedes Mone was backstage with
words for Momo!
Billie Starkz walked by and Mercedes knocked Billie’s cup of
water into Billie’s face!
Billie: “If I were you, I’d watch your back!”
Momo was behind Mercedes and swung at her with a baseball
bat! Mercedes ran away and Momo said she was coming for
Mercedes’ belt at Revolution!
The Murder Machines—Lance Archer & Brian Cage
vs. The Outrunners—Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd!
The Murder Machines double teamed Truth. The Outrunners
fired back with double dropkicks. Cage and Archer brought
the Outrunners outside the ring and hammered them with
lariats.
Truth crushed Cage with a jawbreaker. Turbo tagged in and
dished out punishment to Cage and Archer. Cage drilled Truth
with a Death Valley Driver. Turbo got ping ponged back and
forth by the Murder Machines.
Archer taunted Turbo. Archer spiked Turbo with a chokeslam
for a near fall! Archer went for the Black Out, but The Hurt
Syndicate’s music began to play, and they walked onto the
ramp. The momentary distraction allowed Turbo to roll up
Archer and pick up the pinfall!
“The Outrunners with the upset victory here tonight!” said
Excalibur.
Up next: Swerve Strickland with Prince Nana!
Swerve: “I made this place my house the second I stepped
through these doors three years ago at Revolution. It’s
fitting that we are wrapping up Black History Month because
I made Black history when I became AEW World Champion. Night
in, night out, I showcased it to the world all the way up to
AEW All In.
“I’m no one-hit wonder but Nana was right when he said the
championship hasn’t been my focus. Make no mistake. I am
still the man around here. In order to prove that I need
gold around my waist. But in order to do that I need to
right some wrongs. Ricochet is walking around with something
that doesn’t belong to him.
“Ricochet you say that you and I are done, and you are
moving on to bigger and better things. No, no, we are done
when I say we’re done.”
Ricochet walked out wearing the robe that belongs to the
Embassy.
Ricochet: “Are you stupid or are you dumb? I am done with
you. You had your chance. I won, you feel me. Winners don’t
chase losers. What I’m chasing is gold, something you will
never be again here in AEW, a champion. So no Swerve, I will
not be facing you again. The next time you see me I will
have gold around my waist.”
Prince Nana: “Listen, I have an offer for you that you might
want to consider. I had a talk with Tony Khan in the back
earlier today and he agrees with you and I, Swerve. These
fans deserve a rematch. All you have to do is accept it. You
know what? He also said whoever wins that match will then be
the number one contender for the AEW World title. What do
you say, Ricochet?”
Ricochet: “You know what? I give you credit where credit is
due, Nana. That’s really good. So all I gotta do is whoop
Swerve’s ass one more time and then my ticket is basically
punched to be the AEW World champion. I accept. But we’re
going to do it at Revolution. Ricochet and Swerve one more
time, baby!”
Prince Nana: “Swerve, I’ve got to talk to you, boss. You
know what, I’m proud of you. You’ve taken the steps to make
the championship the number one priority to you. I want you
to go back to being who these fans say you are, and who you
say you are. I want you to go back to being the most
dangerous man in AEW! But Swerve, I took a lot of bullets
for you. Hangman Page, Sting, the Hurt Syndicate, Ricochet.
To see him walking around with my robe, Swerve, I need you
to fix my legacy and get my robe back. Or I don’t know if I
can do this anymore.”
Prince Nana left the ring.
Renee Paquette got some words with Hangman Adam Page
backstage!
Page: “Max, when I find you, and I will, if I do not run you
over, you will wish that I had.”
Trios Match!
TNT Champion Daniel Garcia & FTR—Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler

fired back with his own chops. Dax rocked Roddy with a snap
suplex. Garcia and Cole got into an argument after Cole
saved Roddy from a pin fall attempt.
Cole superkicked Dax. Kyle dropkicked Dax against the
barricade. Roddy used the barricade to plant Garcia with a
back breaker! Kyle clobbered Dax with a PK for a near fall.
The Undisputed Kingdom took turns assaulting Dax. Dax’s
right hand proved to be a difference maker. Dax applied a
sharpshooter on Kyle! Kyle reached the bottom rope to force
the ref to break the hold. Cole jackknifed Garcia when
Garcia was looking for the piledriver and pinned Garcia!
“Adam Cole pinned the TNT Champion!” said Excalibur.
“Cole has made a big statement here tonight,” replied
Schiavone.
It was announced that this Saturday at Collision it’ll be
Cole versus Garcia for the TNT Championship!
Claudio Castagnoli was backstage on the hunt for the “Rated
R Superstar” Cope!
Cope found Claudio first and they began to brawl! Wheeler
Yuta grabbed Cope out of nowhere. Claudio and Wheeler began
to double team Cope as Marina Shafir looked on.
Claudio bashed a steel chair over the back of Cope. Wheeler
slid a chair into the ring. Claudio was about to hit Cope
with a con-chair-to until “Switchblade” Jay White came out
to even up the odds! Cope got to his feet and speared
Claudio! Marina applied a rear naked choke on Cope. Cope
broke the grip and Wheeler inadvertently smashed Marina with
a knee strike. Jay White bashed Wheeler with the Blade
Runner!
Cope smashed Claudio with the con-chair-to! AEW World
Champion Jon Moxley came down to ringside and pulled Yuta
out of the fray! Cope was about to bash Marina with a con-
chair-to until Willow Nightingale came to the ring! Willow
grabbed a chair and hit the con-chair-to on Marina Shafir!
The Vendetta’s Deonna Purrazzo vs. Harley Cameron!
Taya Valkyrie was watching the match on a monitor backstage.
Harley hit a neck breaker on Deonna. Harley backed up Deonna
with a high kick. Deonna caught Harley on the side of the
head with a big boot. Deonna connected with a sliding
dropkick.
Harley used her flexibility to escape the tree of woe in the
corner. Harley shouted, “Feel the wrath!” Harley cracked
Deonna with a shining wizard knee strike for a near fall.
Deonna pump kicked Harley in the head. Deonna power bombed
Harley and covered her but Harley kicked out at the two-
count. Harley planted Deonna head first and earned a come
from behind victory!
“She fought through hell there and got the win,” said Taz.
Revolution International Championship Series Match!
The Don Callis Family’s “The Alpha” Konosuke Takeshita (c.)
vs. “Freshly Squeezed” Orange Cassidy!
“This is the first one-on-one meeting between these two
men,” said Tony Schiavone.
Don Callis joined the broadcast team for this match,
accompanied by a reluctant Mark Davis.
Takeshita grabbed Orange’s sunglasses and broke them in
half. Cassidy pulled a second pair out of his pocket, but
Takeshita grabbed those after a shoulder tackle and handed
them to Don Callis to wear.
Takeshita avoided the Orange Punch. Takeshita knocked down
Orange with a kick, but Orange fired back with a shotgun
dropkick. Cassidy stomped Takeshita in the corner. Orange
