AEW Dynamite 11/6/24
Live from the SNHU Arena in Manchester, New Hampshire! The show kicks off with Tony Schiavone in the ring, soon to be joined by The Hurt Syndicate, comprised of MVP, Shelton Benjamin, and now… Bobby Lashley.
Tony tries to talk over the crowd, who’s currently chanting MVP. MVP tells Tony he needs no introduction, and he escorts Tony out of the ring. MVP introduces both Shelton Benjamin and Bobby Lashley, along with their accolades. MVP says when he offers you a Hurt Syndicate business card, it can change your life. If you choose not to accept it, well, this is what happens… and we get highlights of THS beating down Swerve last week.
Who’s House? Swerve is here with Prince Nana! Swerve looks downright demonic but he’s being held back by referees. “Bobby Lashley. Full Gear,”
“We’ll see you there, kid.” – MVP. And there you have it.

Cole drops the knee pad and lowers the boom! One, two, three!
Winner: Adam Cole
Rating: **3/4. I dunno, something felt off in this one for me. Cole is still getting his wind back, but there were a few too many superkicks and knees to the face in this one for me. After the match, too, it just felt kind of weird.
After the match, Cole drops to a knee next to black and says something to him. Cole extends the hand, Black shoves it away, and then hugs him. Cole grabs the mic and says Black is one of the best he’s ever wrestled. Cole says he wants MJF and Roderick Strong in a three-way match if it comes to that. Here’s MJF on a video. MJF picks up the phone and says he needs someone to pay someone a visit…

Renee is in the back with Kris Statlander. Statlander says she’s back and she’ll take the title from Mone. Tires screech and Kamille and Mone tries to run over Statlander, but they missed. Statlander slams Kamilles arm in the car door and uranages Mone on to the hood of the car.

Ford traps the wrists and gets Hayter on her shoulder, but Hayter wiggles out the back, traps the arm, and Hayterade out of nowhere and this one is over.
Winner: Jamie Hayter
Rating: **1/2. Man, this was really good for the little time it got. Everyone knows how good Jamie Hayter is, but Penelope Ford looked fantastic here. Good stuff.
Mina Shirakawa’s return is teased.

Rating: ****1/4.
Fletcher with a chair and takes out everyone, but Mark Davis i here to make the save. Fletcher shoves Davis and Davis shoves him back. Lance Archer is here, as is Cage, and they jump Davis from behind. Adam Cole is here and he’s met by Takeshita on the apron. Davis is being held down by Cage and Archer as Fletcher gets the screwdriver, but here’s Will Ospreay! Ospreay takes down Fletcher and Davis enziguiris his way out of an Archer chokeslam, and right into a Hobbs spinebuster! Fletcher ducks a Hidden Blade and gets out of dodge.
Final Thoughts: Lots of consistent wrestles here tonight. Starting the show with The Hurt Syndicate was the right call and it feels like they’re already beloved by the fans, and for good reason. The Cole and Black stuff fell kind of flat for me, and I can’t put my finger on why. Awesome to have Hobbs back, too, as this main event absolutely ruled. The pop for Will Ospreay outdid anything and everyone on the show, and it’s clear he’s the ace of AEW. Strong showing tonight, building a lot of stories and giving us some good wrestling matches. 8.25/10.
