AEW Dynamite 10/26/22

Live from the Chartway Arena in Norfolk, Virginia! Taz, Chris Jericho, and Tony Schiavone are on commentary as we’re getting right to business!

Match #1. Chris Jericho & Daniel Garcia vs. Wheeler Yuta & Claudio Castagnoli

Jericho and Claudio start, reigniting their ROH world heavyweight title feud. European uppercuts by Claudio and a tiltawhirl backbreaker to Garcia who got the tag. Yuta in now and a double boot to Garcia. Dropkick by Yuta and some heavy chops in the corner to Garcia. Yuta drops his guard and Garcia drops him with a headbutt. Yuta respond with a body slam and a senton that get two. Jericho comes in but Claudio meets him and its dueling hammer and anvil elbow strikes until Hager, Menard, and Parker pull them out to make the save. Garcia and Claudio are now legal as Garcia bites his way out of a suplex before making the tag to Jericho. Hager trips up Claudio from the outside which allows Jericho to hit the double jump dropkick as we head to break. Jericho hits Claudio with an enziguiri and makes the tag to Garcia.

Garcia locks in a rear naked choke but Claudio gets to his feet and carries Garcia over to his corner before adjusting Garcia in mid-air and turning it into a vertical suplex. Jericho cuts off Claudio and drops Yuta from the apron but Claudio responds with a pop up European uppercut and both men are down. Tag to Yuta! Diving splash off the top to Jericho gets a long two but Garcia makes the save. Yuta dumps Garcia and traps Jericho’s arm… Angle Slam! One, two, no! Assited DDT to Jericho gets another two count.

Boot to the face of Hager now by Claudio who takes out every one of the JAS on the outside! Claudio comes off the top with a European uppercut and hits the Neutralizer! One, two, three!

Winners: Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta

Rating: ***1/2. Man, this was an exciting tag team match to start the show, and the crowd is absolutely on fire. Claudio and Yuta looked like stars here and Jericho is timeless. Part of me is worried Garcia is going to get back lost in the shuffle, but we’ll have to see how it goes. Great start to Dynamite.

Bryan Danielson is here with Renee and Danielson isn’t happy. Danielson is going to take out his frustrations on Guevara, since he’s not happy about losing to Jericho, or the way that Wheeler talked to him last week. Claudio and Wheeler show up as Danielson and Yuta go face to face, but Claudio cools the situation down. Everyone can do their job tonight, and we’ll talk about it like men afterward.

Back from break and we’ve got some audio issues, but the JAS is with Tony Schiavone in the back. Jericho blames Claudio for cheating with the bat in the ring, and then issues an open challenge to ANY Ring of Honor champion, ever.

Match #2. AEW World Tag Team Title #1 Contender Match: FTR vs. Swerve in Our Glory

The Acclaimed have arrived and take a seat on the ramp to get a closer look. Swerve and Cash to start. Tieres by Swerve and Cash isn’t happy. Fireman’s carry and a tag to Dax. Snap suplex to Swerve. Tag to Keith Lee who quickly blocks the Big Rig. Keith Lee leapfrogs BOTH members of FTR before taking them both out with a cross body block. Sunset flip attempt by Cash but Lee grabs him around the throat and drops him with a double chop. Cash tries to jump to his corner but Lee catches him in mid-air. Swerve in now but the back body drop by Cash allows him to make the tag to Dax. Dax laying in some heavy strikes to Swerve in the corner but Lee makes the save, as Dax shifts his focus to Lee now. Dax sidesteps a charging Lee and Swerve looks for the quick roll up and gets two. Series of pin attempts by both men as Swerve heads up to the top and slips off, still connects with a cross body. German suplex by Dax and a tag to Cash. Clothesline/powerbomb/dragon suplex combo by FTR gets a two count. European uppercuts by Cash but Swerve responds with his own.

Low blow by Swerve to Dax and the referee doesn’t see it… BIG BANG CATASTROPHE by Lee! The Ass Boys at ringside are holding Cash back so he can’t get in the ring.

Winner and NEW Number 1 contenders: Swerve in Our Glory

Rating: ****. This match ruled. Lee looked like he may have hurt himself in the middle but rebounded, as both teams continue their trend of just putting on banger and banger. FTR losing was a bit of a surprise to me, but at least it wasn’t clean. Swerve in Our Glory vs. The Acclaimed… again?

Renee is in the back with Saraya as Britt Baker barges in and Renee says if these two want to talk about it, they’ll do it the right way.

Back from break, Renee is joined on the stage by MJF. THE DEVIL HAS ARRIVED IN VIRGINIA. Renee wants to know how MJF feels about wrestling Moxley. MJF then does a hilarious Jon Moxley impersonation. When MJF thinks of Moxley, all he can think of is “mid.” MJF says he’ll wrestle the match “relatively clean”, he’s still MJF. MJF only needs grudges to get where he’s at, and come November 19th, MJF is fighting every single scumbag who’s ever told him he isn’t good enough. Stokely Hathaway is here and MJF slaps the mic out of his hand. Stokely got a little comfortable since MJF has known him for so long, but if Moxley gets past Penta, nobody touches Moxley because MJF wants him at 100%. Side note, there is no longer a crowd split. MJF is 100% the top good guy in the company.

A video package for The Kingdom is shown, who will be taking on WarJoe this Friday on Dynamite.

Match #3. Sammy Guevara w/ Tay Conti vs. Bryan Danielson

Regal has joined the commentary team. Double jump cutter by Guevara right out of the gate and Guevara gets a two count.

Asai moonsault by Guevara takes out Danielson. Guevara is control throughout PIP, looking to deliver his own round kicks to Danielson’s chest.

Diving clothesline by Danielson before back body dropping Guevara to the outside. Suicide dive by Danielson. Shotgun dropkick by Danielson and now Guevara is the one eating the roundhouse kicks.

Poison Rana by Danielson! Psycho knee! Arm trapped now and Danielson is stomping Guevara’s face in! Triangle choke and Sammy is out! Danielson with some elbows to Sammy but the ref calls it!

Winner: Bryan Danielson

Rating: ***3/4. THE AMERICAN DRAGON. Danielson came into this match fired up and it showed. Sammy held his own and looked like a stud in the process, but there’s nobody better than Bryan Danielson, period. Good showing for both men here and a different type of match than we’ve seen tonight.

Renee is joined by Fenix and Alex Abrahantes. Fenix wants to be a double champion too, and has his sights set on the AEW All-Atlantic title. Christian and Luchasaurus show up, and Christian wants Fenix to wait his turn. Orange Cassidy is here and invites them all to a match.

Match #4. Jamie Hayter w/ Dr. Britt Baker DMD & Rebel vs. Riho

Commentators put over the size difference in a nice touch of realism. Hayter uses her power early. Arm drag by Riho but Hayter runs her over with a shoulder block. Head scissors by Riho.

Winner: Jamie Hayter

Rating: ***1/4. Jamie Hayter is a star and Riho is a welcome addition to the roster. Perfect dynamic between the two women and a heck of a match.

Renee is here with Eddie Kingston. Renee says Eddie’s friends are concerned are concerned for him but he’s fine, let’s stop talking about Eddie. Eddie says Moxley will win tonight but everyone else… leave Eddie alone.

Darby Allin says he told Sting he’s got to prove himself, to himself. Lethal says he’s got an old friend that knows Darby’s biggest weakness. Darby says his biggest weakness is himself.

Match #5. AEW World Heavyweight Championship: Jon Moxley (c) vs. Penta el Zero Miedo

Penta is fresh off of the main event of Triplemania 30, where he defeated Villano IV in a mask vs. mask match. Both men trade finisher attempts and overhand chops early. Penta ducks a Regal Knee and let’s Moxley know he’s got NO FEAR. Moxley flips him off in return. Mox blocks a super kick but not a second time. Tope con hilo by Penta to Moxley on the outside before we head to break. Penta throws Moxley into the steel steps and guard rail, before missing a chop and catching his bare hand on the ring post.

Winner and STILL AEW Champion: Jon Moxley

Rating: ***1/2.

The Firm has hit the ring as Morrissey drops Mox with a huge boot. Stokely storms down the ramp as everyone is taking turns beating down Moxley. Security hits the ring but The Firm are disposing all of them. Alex Marvez is in the back and we see the Blackpool Combat Club’s locker has been chained shut.

MJF is on the ramp! MJF is pacing back and forth, seemingly conflicted. MJF decides against it and hits the showers.

WAIT. MJF IS BACK. MJF fires Stokely in the middle of the ring and The Firm now attack MJF! Ego drops MJF with a big boot. The Firm are beating down both Moxley and MJF, with Stokely taking liberties too. Ethan Page drops MJF with the Ego’s Edge! Outside now, Morrissey has MJF by the neck and puts him through a table with a choke slam! The Frim stand tall as we go off the air.

Final Thoughts: Now THIS is the Dynamite I know and love. Five matches, every single one of them meant something, and every single one of them was just good wrestling, some great. I absolutely love the possibilities in the Jericho vs. ROH feud, we’ve got a tease of Danielson vs. Yuta, Castagnoli looked like a star, Hayter continuing to shine, MJF’s possibly face turn… so much fun stuff here. 8.75/10.
