AEW Dynamite 10/23/24
Live from the Maverik Center in Salt Lake City, Utah!
Cold open with a video of the carnage the BCC cause last week, and Jon Moxley telling us that someone else will pay tonight, and a little piece of someone will be destroyed forever… for their own good. For the greater good.
Back at the arena, Mark Briscoe, Daniel Garcia, Private Party, Top Flight, and more are waiting for the BCC in the parking lot.
Tony Schiavone welcomes Hangman Page to the ring. Page said he knocked out Austin Gunn so bad, he doubts he remembers his own brother’s name. On que, here’s Colten Gunn to attack Page from behind. The fight spills to the outside as Page gets the upper hand. In the ring, Page takes off his belt and starts choking Colten, but here’s Switchblade! Jay White and Juice Robinson pull Colten to the outside as Jay White and Page go at it, albeit briefly. Page retreats, while limping to the back.
White takes the mic and says he’s got Page’s number, and anytime he wants to run it back, he’s ready.
Match #1. Sammy Guevara vs. Shelton Benjamin w/ MVP
Oddly slow start and Benjamin drops Sammy with a knee to the stomach. High back body drop by Benjamin and a hammer throw into the corner. Sammy fires some knees and chops back, but Benjamin doesn’t care and snap suplexes him. Sammy backflips over Benjamin and hits a corkscrew dropkick. Sammy low bridges Benjamin and hits a big Asai Moonsault to the floor!

Benjamin beats on Sammy around the ringside area as we go to commercial. Back from break and another belly-to-belly by Benjamin. Quick roll up by Sammy gets two. Superkicks by Sammy now, three in a row. Running knee from Sammy sends Benjamin to the floor. Corkscrew tope by Sammy to the floor. Back in the ring, Benjamin looks for a release German suplex but Sammy lands on his feet. Benjamin pops Sammy up, but Sammy counters with a cutter. One count only! Enziguiri by Sammy. Springboard by Sammy right into a superkick. Another superkick flattens Sammy. Step-up knee in the corner by Benjamin and the Exploder powerslam finishes this one.
Winner: Shelton Benjamin
Rating: **1/2. Fine match, but some awkward down time. Action was good and Shelton Benjamin is really on a roll.
Renee is in the back with Mariah May. May has luggage with her and tosses it in the hallway, and it turns out it’s Anna Jays. Anna is here and then Christopher Daniels breaks it up.
Tony Schiavone welcomes Kyle Fletcher and Don Callis. Fletcher says the fans are just as much to blame for this whole thing as Ospreay is. Before Ospreay got to AEW, Fletcher was the next big thing. Now, the fans say he’s just the next Will Ospreay, but he’s better than Ospreay in every single way. Fletcher proceeds to cut an unhinged promo, intent on stepping out of Ospreay’s shadow. Fletcher is reminding us he’s nothing like Ospreay as he goes to town on his hair with an electric buzzer.
A video package of Takeshita defeating Josh Alexander at Maple Leaf Pro over the weekend is shown, as Ricochet showed up to make the save. Ricochet issues a challenge for Rampage to anyone, and MVP shows up and gives him his car.
Match #2. Brian Cage & Lance Archer vs. ???
Both dudes look like The Berserker, and we didn’t get their names. Spinebuster by Cage on one of them. Big boot into a German into the other dude. Chokeslam/powerbomb combo finishes this one.
Winners: Brian Cage & Lance Archer

Briscoe attacks right out the gate and puts Jericho through a table. Both guys now throwing right hands at each other and Jericho suplexes Briscoe on the floor.

Briscoe beats on Jericho and sets up a ladder on the floor bridging the guardrail, but misses a suicide dive and Briscoe goes crashing through it! Jericho sets up a ladder in the ring and tries to climb it, but Briscoe gets him. Jericho shoves Briscoe into the ladder and then cracks him in the face with it, and he’s busted open.

Winner and NEW Ring of Honor World Champion: Chris Jericho
Rating: ***1/4. Ugh. Briscoe put everything he could into this match, and it worked. Do I need to see another Jericho title reign?
Tomohiro Ishii is back! Ishii stares down Jericho, and we’ve got our first challenger.
Adam Cole is here, and before we can get to story time… here’s The Undisputed Kingdom. UE says it wasn’t about Max, it was about this, the UE. Roddy says he’s proud of Cole for working his ass off to come back from the injury, but he wants MJF first. Cole thanks Roddy and demands MJF come out here. MJF shows up on the tron, getting a massage. MJF says he can make them jump through hoops, and the first guy to win three matches in a row gets a match with MJF at Full Gear… and he won’t be showing up before then.
Match #4. House of Black vs. Kevin Koa, Jaden Monroe, & Pirate de la Muerte
Black Mass to Pirate. Leg sweep to Koa. Diving double stomp by Matthews, who’s now legal.. Monroe gets the tag but it’s a kitchen sink, punt, diving knee drop, and senton combo by House of Black. Cannonball and a pair of boots in the corner to Monroe. Pop-up knees and a triple team powerbomb. Curb stomp by Matthews finishes this one.

Kip Sabian is here and he blasts Hook, as The Patriarchy jump on him. Jericho hits the Killswitch on the metal case, before telling Hook that it is not what it seems and he can help him. The Patriarchy were the ones who attacked Taz in the parking lot, but Christian is here for Hook.

Brawl to start and a double dropkick by Private Party, followed by stereo dives to the outside. Kassidy counters everything as Quen hits the ring and we’ve got a stalemate. Double leg by Garcia as he pairs off with Jack Perry. Corner splashes by everyone and now we’ve got a PIP on the outside of the arena.

Kassidy with a double jump arm drag to both Bucks and a tag to Quen! Quen clears the ring and here’s a powerslam to Perry. Double hurricanrana to the Bucks but the Bucks are back with superkicks.

Perry is on the apron but Garcia pulls him off and both guys fight through the crowd! TK Driver gets countered into the Silly String and right into a roll up. One, two, three!
Winners: Private Party & Daniel Garcia
Rating: ***. All over the place spotfest here without much time left on the show, but Private Party got a nice win tonight.
Kassidy says tonight they proved they have The Bucks number, and they want a rematch. Kassidy says if they give them a rematch and they lose, then Private Party splits up for good. Quen didn’t expect that, but The Bucks accept.
The truck shows up in the parking lot but it’s only Marina Shafir, as Claudio and Wheeler hit the ring with chairs! Moxley was a camera man and he drags Chuck Taylor to the ring! Wheeler Yuta was going to put the chair around Chuck’s ankle, but instead, he puts it around Chuck’s neck! Cassidy hits the ring but Claudio stomps the chair around the neck of Chuck before Cassidy can make the save! The AEW locker room has emptied out for Chuck and Orange Cassidy has a different look on his face now as we go off the air.
Final Thoughts: Man, this was kind of all over the place tonight. The thread of the show was Jon Moxley and company, will they show up, and what will they do? The BCC are strong in stature and name, but their foils tonight… were not. It seems weird to see guys like Private Party, Jeff Jarrett, and Satnam Singh trying to fight for AEW, instead of some of your bigger names, but we’ll see where it goes. The wrestling was fine, too, but nothing on the show really stood out, except for the excellent story arc of Orange Cassidy. Average show, here. 6.5/10.Â
