Dynamite comes live from Sal Tlay Ka Siti -- Jericho gets a rematch for the ROH title, Daniel Garcia and Private Party continue to hound The Elite, Kamille vs. Queen Aminata in a lady hoss fight, and Kyle Fletcher stops dithering and chooses a side.
Wrestling Observer writeup
"The AEW locker room is awaiting The BCC to arrive in the parking lot, as it consisted of The Conglomeration, Top Flight, Action Andretti, Jeff Jarrett, Jay Lethal, Satnam Singh, The Butcher & Dark Order.
Tony Schiavone is in the ring and introduces Hangman Adam Page to the ring to address what happened in the main event last week. Schiavone brings up Page losing to Switchblade Jay White at WrestleDream and costing White his match with Christian Cage last week. Page rips the microphone away and mentioned dropping White with the Switchblade with a Buckshot, nearly ending Juice Robinson’s career and beating Austin Gunn so badly he can’t remember his brother’s name. Right on cue, Colten Gunn attacked Page from behind..."
Once upon a time, when Hangman was a babyface, he talked about how Moxley beat him so badly, he was so concussed he couldn't remember his infant son's name. Now he's come around, so painfully abused he has become the abuser. Long term storytelling, folks.
Shelton Benjamin (w/MVP) defeated Sammy Guevara
"I enjoyed this while it lasted, as Guevara got off quite a bit of offense in this. Benjamin needed a strong showing before his match with Swerve Strickland next week and he got to show off a lot of his power once again. Guevara landed pretty rough on the springboard finish and seemed to hold his ankle, so I hope that’s nothing serious."
I take no joy in saying that I don't think Sammy Guevara's going to make it in this company. Maybe they kept him with Jericho too long, maybe he's spent too much time injured, maybe the company just has too many twinks.
Kyle Fletcher Explains His Actions
On the other hand, Kyle Fletcher's going to do fantastic here, to the point where even if his injured tag partner comes back, it might be wise to keep them apart for a while. This heel turn promo has exactly the right amount of righteous fury and bullshit delusion. You know Kyle believes it, and Don Callis enables it, and so they synergize.
Brian Cage & Lance Archer won a squash match
Ring Of Honor World Championship LADDER Match: Chris Jericho defeated Mark Briscoe to win the ROH World Title
"This was a fun chaotic ladder match with some wild bumps by both. A good way to get the title off Briscoe without taking a pin. I’d much prefer Briscoe as solely an AEW guy moving forward, as he’s done everything he could in ROH, so having Jericho back as champion of that brand is fine to go back to. They should keep Jericho on ROH for a while though. Let him be the face of ROH and be The Nueve, as he already seemingly has his first challenger in [Tomohiro] Ishii."
I know some folks are in the "Ugh, why?" camp but hear me out: Jericho is one of AEW's highest paid guys, but Tony Khan has now snagged his three-year big money streaming deal. We don't need Jericho to pop ratings anymore. Why not send him to boost ROH's profile for a while, if the Learning Tree shtick is getting old? Just keep Big Bill here, he's too funny plus I need to see him fight some beef battles in AEW.
The Undisputed Kingdom Call Out MJF
"MJF is shown on the big screen getting massaged on a table and asked if Cole remembered about the revenge he was dangling over him last week. Cole will never get his hands on MJF, but tells both Cole & Strong, whoever wins three matches first, will get a match with MJF at Full Gear. MJF said he’s not going to show up until Full Gear and wishes whoever will be there, they’ll get their happy ending, he knows he will, as MJF looks up at the masseuse. The Undisputed Kingdom all hug and said it doesn’t matter how many matches they have to win, they’ll do it, as we see Kyle O’Reilly looking on from backstage."
The House of Black (Malakai Black, Brody King & Buddy Matthews) defeated Kevin Koa, Jaden Monroe & Puerata de la Muerte
"Matthews took the mic and said now that he’s cleared, next week, Buddy Matthews vs. Adam Cole Bay-Bay."
A lot of tag teams killing jobbers this week. Also, according to Brody King, Julia Hart's shoulder is healed and she's ready to make appearances again.
Kamille (w/Mercedes Mone) defeated Queen Aminata
"Another week where Aminata looked very good, even in defeat. Like I said last week in her match with Mone, Aminata needs some wins, soon. She’s in this spot where she loses higher profile matches way too often. Maybe have a tag match soon with Statlander against these two and give Aminata a win that way? In any case, Statlander & Kamille are ready to clash next week, so I know why Kamille needed the win here more than Aminata."
"HOOK is shown storming backstage, as Renee Paquette asks if he knows who attacked his father and he said the scumbag in the ring right now. Commentary questions who of the four in the ring that could be, as HOOK hit the ring and was about to attack Cage when Sabian hit a low blow. Cage said he knows why Sabian took his pen and prevent him from cashing in his AEW Title shot a few weeks ago, but he’ll deal with him later, so stand in the corner. Nick Wayne tried Wayne’s World once, but HOOK got REDRUM, as Cage hit him in the back with the case holding the World Title contract. Wayne hit Wayne’s World and Cage hit the Killswitch on the case. Cage whispered to “Tyler” that this isn’t what he thinks it is, it’s not what it seems, as The Patriarchy walk off with Sabian as HOOK is left to slowly recover."
I think the new plan is, with Luchasaurus/Killswitch out for long-term injury, it makes sense to recruit Sabian or Hook to be Christian's new failson in contrast to Nick Wayne's golden boy. Calling Hook by his real name means we're doing a mystery, gang! Having both Sabian and his kayfabe-and-real-life wife Penelope Ford on the same program without any interaction is an interesting choice, is she part of the mystery? Are we getting dueling sets of bad-parenting factions?
Daniel Garcia & Private Party defeated The Elite (Jack Perry, Matthew & Nicholas Jackson)
"Post match, Zay took the mic and told The Bucks they proved they have their number and again asked for a rematch for the Tag Titles. The Bucks walked off until Zay said he has an offer they won’t turn down. If Private Party loses the rematch, they’ll split up as a team for good. Quen seemed surprised by this, but The Bucks accepted and Zay was psyched and the match is on for next week.
Party match main event that had the future challengers for the TNT & Tag Titles getting the win, with the post-match being the far bigger story. Private Party set the stips for their rematch next week, but also The BCC taking out Orange Cassidy’s best friend, Chuck Taylor to end the show. I’m glad Cassidy wasn’t part of the whole crew who were just made to look like dorks waiting in the parking lot the entire night, as The BCC outsmarted about 12 different guys with ease in that regard. I’m looking forward to seeing the fire lit under Cassidy now that his best friend is out of commission.
Backstage, The BCC truck finally arrives to the arena, but it’s just Marina Shaffir, as it was a diversion, as PAC, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta all attack Garcia & Private Party with chairs. Jon Moxley, wearing all black, drags Chuck Taylor down the ramp and to the ring, as they initially placed a chair around the ankle, but instead put it on the neck. Castagnoli stomped on it and they bailed, with Yuta initially shocked before the AEW crew rushed to the ring and Yuta also bailed. The Elite watched this all happen on the ramp as a stunned Orange Cassidy was by Taylor’s side, as he was tended to by doctors."
