AEW Dynamite 1/24/24
Live from the Enmarket Arena in Savannah, Georgia! Taz, Tony Schiavone, and Excalibur are on commentary and here comes the champ!
Joe stands before us the undisputed, undeniable, AEW World Heavyweight Champion. No more will opportunities be given. Tonight, they must be earned. Anyone who comes to the ring will be done like Hook was last week. Joe will take everything.
SEND. HOOK.
Hook is here, looking completely fine after the beating that was put on him last week. Hook shakes Joe’s hand and says he will see him again soon. Joe says he’s sure he will, but now he’s got to get to the back of the line and brings in security. Hook disposes of security and that’s that.

Zero miedo vs. cowboy s* to start. Page runs into a superkick and Penta runs into a big boot. Slingblade by Penta. Springboard by Penta but Page catches him with a fallaway slam. Kip up by Page and some boots in the corner. Running boot to a seated Penta, who is staring daggers at Joe and the title belt at ringside. Victory roll into a bottom rope assisted leg drop by Penta. Two count. Both men now trade overhand chops in the corner. Snap suplex by Page gets one. Fight spills to the outside as Page throws Penta into the ringpost and has a discussion with Joe.

Page is on the apron and Penta leaps over the top looking for a quick Destroyer but Page counters with the Deadeye! Moonsault off the top to the floor! Page rolls Penta in and looks for the Buckshot but Penta ducks and Page connects with a lariat, before finishing this with the Buckshot after all!
Winner: Hangman Page
Rating: ***3/4. Just a solid wrestling match here with both men’s focus on the AEW World Heavyweight Championship. Page and his mustache have seemingly found a new gear, and that gear is Magnum TA.
Renee is in the back with Orange Cassidy. Cassidy accepts Roderick Strong’s challenge for Revolution, but he’s going to continue wrestling until then. Apparently there’s a match with some of Cassidy’s frenemies this Friday on Rampage, and the winner will wrestle Cassidy on Saturday.
Nicholas and Matthew Jackson are here. As the only two remaining EVPs, they fixed the catering problem, thankfully.
Match #2. Warlow w/ The Undisputed Kingdom vs. Trent w/ Best Friends
Shoulder block and an F10 by Wardlow. Wardlow looks for the powerbomb but Trent counters with a small package. Trent sends him to the outside and follows up with some baseballs slides. Plancha by Trent but Wardlow hits him with a forearm in mid-air and proceeds to ping pong Trent off the guardrail. Back in the ring and Wardlow sends Trent into the corner hard, causing Trent to Flair-flop over the top and to the floor. Wardlow throws Trent into some more stuff outside the ring, before looking for the big lariat inside the ring, only for Trent to counter with a rising knee strike. Suicide dive by Trent! The referee is arguing with Adam Cole so Trent takes a chair to his back and face. Half-and-half suplex and a tornado DDT by Trent. Piledriver by Trent! Long two count. Trent looks for a crossbody off the top but Wardlow catches him and hits a spinning powerslam. Wardlow drapes Trent on the top rope and hits him with a hard knee on the way down. Stalling Last Ride by Wardlow! That’ll do it.
Winner: Wardlow
Rating: ***1/4. This has to be the longest match in a few years for Wardlow. Heck of a match, too. Wardlow looked strong here and Trent’s offense looked believable, just couldn’t overcome the size difference.
After the match, Trent is consoled by Best Friends but he shoves Orange Cassidy away but they all quickly make up. Trent and Rocky stay in the ring together.
A video package of Adam Copeland and “THE KING” MINORU SUZUKI is shown!
Renee welcomes Toni Storm and Deonna Purrazzo to the stage for a faceoff. Storm says she’s heard Deonna has been body shamed, which is crazy, because there are so many other things to shame. Storm has had many friends, all of them less talented than Storm is. Deonna says this is crazy and she came to AEW to win the Women’s World Championship, and she will take it arm-by-arm. Deonna shows us her ankle, which has a matching tattoo to Toni Storm’s ankle. Storm says this is ridiculous and throws a shoe. Deonna throws a shoe back and attacks Storm, looking for the Venus de Milo, but settles for a pump kick to Luther’s face.
Jon Moxley is here and says he’s going to maim and torture anyone who steps up to them who thinks they are “elite”. Moxley will do it every single time because these people paid their hard earned money to see it, and AEW is supposed to be the best wrestling company on the planet.
Taya Valkyrie and Johnny TV are here. Taya said she’s back and there’s this new girl trying to cut the line. No butts, no cuts, no coconuts, baby. Taya wants Deonna next week.

Rosa looks for a double underhook something but settles for a shotgun dropkick. Double underhook spin out slam, aka the Tijuana Bomb, gets the win.
Winner: Thunder Rosa
Rating: **. This match felt like it never really got going, unfortunately. Some awkward spots throughout the match but they’re building Rosa back up slowly.
Tony Schiavone welcomes Darby Allin and Sting to the ring. Darby says when he thought Sting was coming to AEW, he flew to Texas, rolled around with Sting at the ring in his house, and told him he’s still got it. Darby said to get back in the ring and finish the career on his own terms. 27-0 and they’re undefeated. That record puts them in the top spot for a tag team title match. Darby asks Sting if he wants to end his career as an AEW Tag Team Champion? The entire arena chants “Sting!” as Sting says he’s All In.

Winners and STILL AEW World Trios Champions: The Acclaimed & Daddy Ass
Rating: **1/4. This was fine, but it felt rushed. Obviously they’re trying to pack as much in tonight as they can, but this kind of just felt… here.
Match #6. Adam Copeland vs. Minoru Suzuki
“Holy S” chants from the crowd as both men throw BOMBS in center ring. Copeland drops! Gotch Style Piledriver by Suzuki early but Copeland blocks it with a back body drop. Copeland follows Suzuki in the ropes and gets locked in a triangle, momentarily. Big boot to Suzuki on the apron and a spear to follow, but Suzuki counters with a knee to the face. Suzuki locks in a guillotine and pulls Copeland to the floor, but Copeland drives him through the barricade and both men crash through to the floor!

Copeland gets to his feet and sends Suzuki into the turnbuckle face-first. Killswitch to Suzuki and this one is over!
Winner: Adam Copeland
Rating: ***1/4. Listen, the match didn’t have a lot of time, but this was more about the “dream” aspect. Both dudes brought the heat tonight, as expected, and Copeland got to check another dream match off of his bucket list, on the way to Christian Cage.
After the match, Copeland struggles to his feet knowing that he’s been in a fight tonight. Copeland takes the mic and says he’s never been hit that hard in his life. Copeland says, “Suzuki? Respect.” and he extends his hand. Suzuki growls at him and walks away. Copeland says that the type of war that Christian Cage knows nothing about. Copeland is still coming after Christian.
Final Thoughts: Kind of a meandering show tonight that didn’t have much direction. The wrestling was fine, but it felt like a heavy dose of filler. Hook got a heck of a lot last week when he lost to Joe, and this week it just felt a little out of place, especially him on the microphone at all. The Bang Bang Scissor Gang stuff is fun, the TNT Championship journey of Copeland took another step forward, and Samoa Joe and the commentary team drove home the point that wins and losses matter big time now… so we did accomplish some good things. 7/10.
