Tonight’s AEW Dynamite was kicked-off by the highly anticipated mixed tag team matchup pitting NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal and rising women’s star Jade Cargill against Cody Rhodes and Red Velvet. After a wild back and forth, which included Shaq delivering a powerbomb, getting powerslammed, and ending up through tables, Cargill caught Velvet in a Glam Slam to pick up the victory for team Diesel.
