CM Punk vs. Hangman has been announced for Double or Nothing on May 29th! Crowd is chanting for Punk, who’s wearing a Sick of It All shirt! Punk has never been in a locker room that has more talent than AEW. Punk asked himself if he could still do this seven months ago, and now CM Punk can say, “Hell yeah, I can still do this!” Punk’s a fan of Page, and not to disparage anyone he’s shared a ring with but he’s just getting warmed up. Punk can’t promise a win, but he can give 100% of himself in that match because without the fans, Punk doesn’t come back. Without the fans, Punk doesn’t make it to Double or Nothing. Win, lose, or draw, Hangman will know he’s been in a fight with CM Punk. Punk will fight until the wheels fall off.
Dan Lambert says Scorpio Sky isn’t fighting for the title by accident. Sky lists his AEW credentials and says he’s been screwed. Sky gives Sammy credit, but the Philly crowd isn’t here for that, they’re here to see Sky beat his ass.

Rating: ***1/4. Yuta continues to ride the rocket that is strapped to his back and the BCC are my favorite thing going in AEW. Another strong performance, another good win.
Tony Schiavone is in the back with Britt Baker, Jamie Hayter, and Toni Storm. Storm says that she’s brought a friend of her own, and here’s Ruby Riot. Ruby says whenever someone new comes to AEW, Britt Baker throws her, uh, lady parts around. Ruby says they should drop them both right now. Baker says not here, not now, and let’s go to catering.
Jungle Boy, Christian Cage, and Luchasaurus are here with Tony. Jungle Boy says he doesn’t mean to sound like a sore loser, and Christian cuts him off and says he doesn’t… he sounds like a loser. But he’s not a loser. Christian then challenges any top five team, and in walk Team Taz. Luchasaurus growls.

The Jericho Appreciation Society is here and we’re about to have a sit down with Eddie Kingston, Santana, and Ortiz. It’s been agreed upon that there will be no physicality so that should go over just fine. Eddie walks in the ring and tosses the chairs, then demands they cut his mic. Jericho tells the fans to shut up with the Eddie chants. Jericho demands they all apologize to them for getting the JAS kicked out of Rampage. Ortiz found Jericho’s apology and gives him the finger. Santana found one too apparently. Santana says Jericho turned his back on the two dudes who know him best, and that’s his biggest mistake. Garcia interrupts and says Eddie has perfectly manicured eyebrows. Garcia says their threats mean nothing because they can’t hit them. Eddie says he’s not a fan of the sports entertainment BS, he’s here to fight. Eddie throws everything out of the ring. Jericho says it’s 5 on 3 and they’re going to take Eddie, Santana, and Ortiz out one by one. Jericho says he’s put out a hit. Eddie says when you say a hit, you end things. Jericho says Eddie can’t afford to get fired because no wrestling company wants him. “Stand there, shut your mouth, and do what you’re told, bitch!” Jericho takes a knee and Eddie gets in his face. Eddie tells him he’s prepared to put someone in the ground because they’ve done it before, and they’ll do it to them.
Match #4. Philly Street Fight: Hikaru Shida vs. Serena Deeb

Deeb now looking for the arm trapped piledriver but Shida with a back body drop. Shida gets the kendo stick, but she’s still blinded.

Winner: Serena Deeb
Rating: ***. Took a little while to hit it’s stride but a clean win was a nice way to end this feud. Deeb is wildly underrated and would make a great challenger for Thunder Rosa.
Lexi is in the back with MJF and Shawn Spears. MJF is calm because he has a plan. It’s a good plan. MJF picks up the phone and says he’s got a guy that’s going to go up against Wardlow next week who’s bigger, smarter, and taller. And you can’t. Teach. That!
The House of Black are here, and it seems like they may have murdered Fuego Del Sol. Alex Abrahantes is in the ring, cloaked, and warns House of Black that they can not remove the mask from Fuego.

Swerve vs. Darby this Friday night in an Owen Hart Foundation Qualifier!
Match #5. 10-Men Tag: Adam Cole, reDRagon, & The Young Bucks vs. Brock Anderson, The Varsity Blonds, Lee Johnson, and Dante Martin w/ Arn Anderson
I’m going to give this one my best shot, but it’s going to be fast. The Undisputed Elite attack early and Dante Martin is isolated. Martin with a clothesline to O’Reilly and a dropkick to Matt. Assisted dropkick by Nick to the Blonds. Double clothesline by Anderson to the Bucks. Exploder by Bobby Fish to Anderson. Springboard dropkick by Martin to Bobby Fish.

Twisting dive by Nick between Matt’s legs takes out the entire team. Tag to Adam Cole. Four-way BTE Trigger to Johnson. Cole lowers the boom. That’s it.
Winners: The Undisputed Elite
Rating: **. This was fine, but it was more about the storyline than it was the match.
Cole, Fish, and O’Reilly offer the Bucks the Undisputed Elite shirts. They accept! Pretty cool to see this much talent in the ring.
There’s something going on in the back! The JAS has attacked Kingston, Ortiz, and Santana! Hager is holding Eddie Kingston as Jericho throws a fireball in his face! Classic Memphis stuff baby. I’m here for it.
Match #6. TNT Title Ladder Match: Sammy Guevara (c) vs. Scorpio Sky
Sky runs out to meet Sammy at the entrance way and we’re getting right to business. Sky throws Sammy into the guard rail and delivers some heavy body shots. Sky drops Sammy neck first on the guard rail. Sky’s looking for the ladder early. Sammy looks for the baseball slide, but Sky moves the ladder and hits Sammy with it.

Sammy catches him and throws him face first into the ladder. Sammy climbs up top but he’s too far from the title, so he decides to (make the crazy symbol first, then…) do a twisting 450 splash and miss Sky completely. That was a ROUGH landing and Sky couldn’t even get over to save him. Sky takes a while to walk the ladder, but Sammy is able to push the ladder over. Tay Conti then attacks Scorpio from the outside. Sammy gets back to his feet, and that’s good to see, and attacks Sky from behind. Sky regains control and grabs Sammy’s feet, drapes him from the ladder, and kicks him low. Sammy rolls to the outside and the referees are still checking on him. Sky grabs the ladder and goes up top, but Sammy climbs up the top rope. Sammy hops over the ladder in the corner and Sky catches him in mid-air with a cutter from the top! What a spot, but you’ve got to worry about Sammy at this point. Sky goes under the ring and grabs another ladder… however, this one is covered with barbed wire! Sky looks for the TKO on the ladder, but Sammy hits the Spanish Fly on the barbed wire! Dan Lambert is in the ring and Sammy grabs him, but here’s Tay with a PUNT to the nads on Lambert. Poor guy. Here’s Paige VanZant! Where’s Joey Styles when you need him? Paige and Sky gets the better of Sammy and Tay, but they start celebrating too early and get hit with a pair of bicycle kicks. Sammy and Tay now bring the barbed wire ladder into the ring. Y’all know you can climb the ladder at anytime, eh? Sky with a leaping flatliner and he’s looking to run up the ladder. Conti jumps on Sky’s back! VanZant jumps on Sammy’s back! Both men are climbing up the ladder! Both men are at the top and the women start hockey fighting. The women drop off as Sammy and Sky are fighting on the top rung! Sammy gives Sky the finger, Sky bites the finger! Sammy pushes Sky off and it’s all Sammy’s! But wait, Sky lifts the ladder and Sammy falls from the top of the ladder, flat on the barbed wire ladder in the ring! Sky is climbing up to the top, but Sammy springboards off and he’s on the other side of the ladder. Sammy is dazed and Sky pushes him off… Sky grabs it!
Winner and NEW TNT Champion: Scorpio Sky
Rating: ***1/4. Tough one to rate, here. The whole middle was marred by the doctors checking on Sammy (and rightfully so, that looked terrible), but we got to what we want with the mixed tag match coming down the pipe at some point.
Here’s Frankie Kazarian in a damn fine suit. Kazarian and Sky exchanges niceties and we know who Sky’s first challenger is.
Final Thoughts: A very wrestling heavy show this week, and that’s not a complaint. Nothing was absolute can’t miss, but everything was average to above average. If that’s an “off week”, I will take it, but Dynamite is nothing if not consistent. I’m really looking forward to the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament’s coming up, we’ve got a new challenger for the AEW World Title, and oh, by the way, Deonna Purrazzo vs. Mercedes Martinez to unify the Ring of Honor title just gets mentioned as we close to the show!? 7.5/10.
