All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: June 26, 2024

June 26, 2024 3:51 PM - Season 5, Episode 39

The last Dynamite before Forbidden Door, and the foreign invaders keep on coming: one Zach Sabre Jr. to grapple with KOR, plus Los Ingobernables de Japón make their Dynamite debut. Plus, the two men's champs have to grit their teeth and tag together to avoid getting smooshed into paste by Gates of Agony.

The announced card for tonight:

*Owen Hart Cup Tournament Quarterfinal Match: Jay White vs. Rey Fenix
* Will Ospreay & Swerve Strickland vs. The Gates of Agony
* Trios Match:The Outcasts (Saraya, Anna Jay, and Harley Cameron) vs. Toni Storm, Mariah May, and Mina Shirakawa
* Kyle O’Reilly vs. Zack Sabre Jr.
* Trios Match: Blackpool Combat Club (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, & Wheeler Yuta) vs. Los Ingobernables de Japon (Shingo Takagi, Titan, & Hiromu Takahashi)
* MJF will be live in Buffalo
* We’ll hear from Daniel Garcia
* Mercedes Moné to speak

MJF and Daniel Garcia get positively friendly with each other, mutual admiration, respect etc. culminating in booking a match for All In, but then out comes Will Ospreay with a little showboating and thunder-stealing, promising Garcia a match for a title he may not have next week. Again the narrative is shading towards Swerve: Will may have overbid on himself, not in the right headspace to "carry both worlds".

Moxley loses his rag during the trios match, causing a DQ technically gives LIJ a victory in their Dynamite debut!

Jay White advances in the tournament, because one thing AEW seems to be blind about is the potential of either Rey Fenix or Penta to become big singles stars. ::sigh::
