AEW Dynamite: “Winter is Coming” 2024
Live from the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri! Tony Schiavone, Excalibur, and Nigel McGuinness are on commentary tonight as we’re starting with The Deathriders.
Match #1. Jon Moxley & Pac w/ Marina Shafir & Wheeler Yuta vs. Jay White & Orange Cassidy
Jay White takes Pac into the guardrail before the match even starts. The bell rings and a backbreaker by White gets two, as Moxley tags himself in. White gets the better of Moxley with some huge chops in the corner but Pac tags himself in and connects with a big boot. Moxley pulls Cassidy to the outside and back body drops him on the announcer’s table. Moxley controls Cassidy until White tags himself in and cleans house. Running back elbow in the corner to Pac and a hard chop. DDT by White to Pac! One to Moxley! Pac regains control with the help of Marina Shafir and now White is in trouble as we go to PIP. Christian Cage and The Patriarchy are shown in the skybox. Mounted punches in the corner by Moxley and now some big knees to the face. Quick tags now between Moxley and Pac, as Christian gives Nick Wayne and Kip Sabian… “the nod” and they disappear. White tries to fire back on Moxley to no avail, as Moxley connects with a short-arm clothesline for two. White ducks underneath a Moxley clothesline and gets the tag to Cassidy! Cassidy in with some hard right hands and a PK to Moxley. Satellite DDT by Cassidy to Pac! Cassidy heads up top and Moxley follows, but Cassidy bites his face and comes off the top with a diving DDT! Two count. Cassidy tries to drop the elbow but settles for a Satellite DDT to Moxley. Stundog Millionaire to Pac and the Cutthroat suplex by White! Big boot from Moxley to White but he walks right into Beach Break! Two count. Cassidy thinks about the Orange Punch but Yuta gets up on th apron and he takes it instead. Cassidy shoves Shafir off and hits the Orange Punch to Cassidy! Cassidy drops the elbow pad and thinks about another Orange Punch, but Hangman Page is here and he causes the disqualification!
Winners: Jon Moxley & Pac
Rating: **3/4. Paint by number tag team match here with some of AEW’s biggest names. This one wasn’t about winning or losing, but getting us to the presumed four-way match at World’s End, and it did in fact help that.
Hangman and Cassidy now fight over who gets to beat up Moxley, as Moxley bails. White, Hangman, and Cassidy beat the heck out of each other as Moxley laughs from the outside, until he, Yuta, Pac, and Shafir decide to hit the ring and pick the bones.
Another awesome video package of Bandido is show.
Moxley says he’s a marked man and that’s the only way to live, with a knife to your throat. Moxley says the guys in AEW… their egos run their lives and egos ruin All Elite Wrestling. Moxley has a Christmas gift for everyone… fatal four-way at World’s End!
Christian is still in the skybox and he takes the mic. Christian says he looks down on people in KC physically, and he just may take that title at World’s End when the match is all said and done. Christian may just send Jon Moxley to that dark place where he tells himself he needs to take that drink again. Christian is about to run down the rest of the city when Hook shows up! Hook puts his hand through the glass door and beats down Christian, bouncing his head off the little snack table there and then dragging him through all of the food. Kip Sabian and Nick Wayne show up eventually but Hook is able to escape.
Match #2. Continental Classic Gold League: Claudio Castagnoli (6) vs. Will Ospreay (3)
Sasuke Special to start and here we go! Phenomenal Forearm by Ospreay and that’s a quick two count. OsCutter attempt by Ospreay but he eats a European uppercut. Hook kick by Ospreay! Both guys are down. On the outside now Ospreay tries to springboard off the steps but gets caught by Claudio and dropped throat-first on the steel! Claudio now swings Ospreay right into the steps! Castagnoli now traps Ospreay’s hand on the steel steps and stomps on it. Back inside the ring and Ospreay tries another springboard but he dives right into a European uppercut by Claudio. Claudio locks in a Sharpshooter as we go to commercial. Ospreay finally fights out and connects with a double jump hurricanrana and a corkscrew kick! Running boot in the corner by Ospreay and a brainbuster. Standing Sky Twister Press by Ospreay! Two count.

Ricola Bomb attempt by Claudio but Ospreay gets free, only to be snapped down to the mat with an arm ringer. Karelin lift by Claudio. Two count.

Two count. Slug fest now in the middle of the ring but Ospreay hits the OsCutter out of nowhere! Claudio slowly rolls outside, giving him a breather. Ospreay rolls him back in and tries for the Hidden Blade, but Claudio pops him up into a European uppercut! Lariat by Claudio! Two count. Ricola Bomb attempt by Claudio but Ospreay is there with a jackknife cover for the win!
Winner: Will Ospreay (6)
Rating: ***1/2. A really good wrestling match that just didn’t get to where I think it could have gotten. Ospreay now tied with Claudio, and it seems like the injuries in the tournament may be catching up with Ospreay.
Renee welcomes Ricochet. Guys like Brody King are why Ricochet came to AEW and tonight… ya boy got Brody King for the first time ever. Brody King’s a lot of things but he’s not Ricochet.. and he’s holding all the cards. Including MVP’s business card.
A Denali pulls up, and out comes a hand with the Dynamite Diamond Ring on it.. and that can only mean one thing. MJF!
Renee is here with Matt Cardona! Cardona says he’s ALWAYZ READY, and he’s been reinventing himself for the last five years. Cardona wants Bryan Keith at Rampage.
Kyle is seen in the back with Renee. The Kingdom reminds Kyle that they’re brothers, and Kyle says they should have thought about that before Roddy got hurt.

Winner faces MJF at World’s End! Cole tries to shake hands and Kyle slaps it away… and here we go. Shoulder block by Kyle. One by Cole. Cole feigns a superkick and Kyle bails.

Both guys on the outside now as Kyle catches a superkick and responds with a couple of palm strikes and a back leg trip on the floor. Thai clinch back inside the ring and knees by Kyle. Abdominal stretch by Kyle but Cole makes the ropes. Kyle charges in the corner and EATS a superkick! Brainbuster on the knee by Cole gets two. Kyle clotheslines Cole over the top and follows up with a running knee off the apron. Back inside the ring and Kyle comes off the top but misses a diving knee drop!

Kyle tries a roll up and gets two. Cole gets a roll up of his own and gets the win!
Winner: Adam Cole
Rating: ***1/4. Another strong match here, although if you’ve seen what these two are capable of, you know there’s a lot more in the tank. Nice win for Cole, and we’ve got Cole and MJF at the PPV.
After the match, The Kingdom hit the ring. Cole extends the hand to Kyle and Kyle decides to roll out of the ring instead.
FTR remind us that they stopped a murder last week, and they want a big match at Fight for the Fallen on January 1st.
Chris Jericho says there will be a contract signing tomorrow night on ROH TV with Matt Cardona.
Match #4. Continental Classic Gold League: Ricochet (3) vs. Brody King (3)
Ricochet tries to use his speed early and takes Brody over with a tieres. Ricochet comes off the top and Brody just body blocks him. Brody palms Ricochet’s head and tosses him over the top rope. Brody follows Ricochet outside and chops the soul out of him. Jumping thrust kick off the barricade by Ricochet, but Brody catches an attempted hurricanrana and powerbombs Ricochet on the apron! Brody sets Ricochet up on a chair at ringside and hits a huge running cross body block. Brody in control throughout the commercial break. Handspring off the ropes by Ricochet but Brody catches him with a rebound German suplex for a two count. Brody wants a lariat but Ricochet back flips off his chest and it’s a pair of enziguiris. Brody rolls to the outside and Ricochet follows up with a corkscrew plancha to the floor! Brody gets rolled back inside the ring and Ricochet comes out of the sky with a springboard 450! One count! Brody sits up and Ricochet hits a pair of pump kicks to the face. Lariat by Brody! Ricochet flips out of a Ganso Bomb and rolls up Brody for two. Pair of knees by Ricochet but Brody fights back with a chop and an avalanche in the corner. Cannonball by Brody! One, two, no! Both guys now on the top rope as Ricochet batters Brody enough to toss him with a sunset flip powerbomb! Ricochet heads up top… Shooting Star Press! Wait, Brody grabs the throat!

Ricochet DDTs Brody on the top rope and kicks out the leg of Brody. Spirit Gun to the back of the head of Brody. Spirit Gun to the face! That’ll do it.
Winner: Ricochet (6)
Rating: ***1/4. Shockingly, the fans started booing Ricochet towards the end of this, and that’s a testament to how much they love Brody King. The match was a good big man/smaller man match, and two better guys to fit that mold couldn’t be found. I have to think huge things are around the corner for Brody King.
Private Party are here with the tag team championships. Action Andretti and Lio Rush show up and want a shot at the titles. Top Flight are here, too. Now it’s a round robin for the titles.
Match #5. AEW Women’s World Championship: Mariah May (c) vs. Mina Shirakawa
Hockey fight to start and here we go! Dropkick to the knee by Mina, who quickly attacks the knee. Figure-four by Mina but May quickly gets to the ropes, as both women roll through and to the floor. Shotgun dropkick by May sends Mina hard into the guardrail. Thunder Rosa is in the crowd with signs, btw. Back in the ring and May hits a big back drop driver for two. May controls throughout the commercial and delivers some right hands to the forehead. May hits the ropes but Mina ducks a clothesline and hits a springboard enziguiri. Both women now trade right hands in the middle of the ring and we’re past the 10pm mark. May hits the ropes but walks into a rolling elbow and a spinning backfist. Dropkick to the back of the may by Mina and a backdrop suplex for two. Another back fist and a reverse DDT gets two. Mina drapes Mariah off the top rope and hits a decline DDT for two. May pulls Mina throat-first over the middle rope and delivers two running knees to the face. MayDay gets a long two count! Mina crucifixes herself out of another MayDay and gets two. Diving Slingblade off the middle buckle by Mina. Glamorous Driver attempt by Mina and she hits it! One, two, no! Headbutt by May and Storm Zero finishes this one.
Winner and STILL AEW Women’s World Champion: Mariah May
Rating: ***. Despite the finish coming out of nowhere, this was a good main event. Mina has the fans in her back pocket and I don’t know who’s next for May but she’s been knocking it out of the park.
Toni Storm is back! THE REAL TONI STORM! NOT THE TIMELESS ONE! Storm gets emotional as we go off the air!
Final Thoughts: A tournament-centric, wrestling-heavy, episode of Dynamite tonight. The Death Riders story has taken centerstage, as it should, but it just seems like there is nothing else that feels even remotely close to as important as that does. The tournament is producing good matches as expected, but it feels like they’ve failed to reach the bar set by last year. Tonight’s show was still consistent, entertaining, pro wrestling. 8.0/10.Â
