Welcome to Ringside News’ live results coverage for AEW Dynamite.
Last week AEW Dynamite took part on Jericho’s cruise ship. That show saw Kenny Omega and Hangman Page win the AEW Tag Team Titles from SCU. While they are not scheduled to be in action tonight, The Young Bucks will be taking on The Butcher & The Blade. That’s relevant because The Bucks are liable to get title shots pretty darn soon, and their buddy animosity with Hangman Page could boil over.
Elsewhere tonight, Cody Rhodes will face Kip Sabian, Jericho will team with Santana & Ortiz to face Darby Allin and Private Party, and Jon Moxley will be in action. Let’s hope we get some more storylines ramping up tonight because we’re less than a month away from AEW Revolution.
And that’s the preview for tonight’s Dynamite. Follow along on the Ringside News App, Twitter, and Instagram. Enjoy the show!

AEW DYnamite

This weeks show opens with a look back at the show last week, in which The Young Bucks attacked MJF and threw him in a pool, and Kenny Omega and Hangman Page won the tag team titles.

Jon Moxley makes his way to the ring, wearing a proper eye patch now. He says it occurred to him when he was stabbed in the eye that the fun and games with Chris Jericho are over. He says Jericho is the last obstacle in his way to the top of the mountain. But this isn’t just a wrestling match and everything that means, it also means The Inner Circle.
Moxley says that Chris Jericho is the kind of man that hides behind Jake Hager, stole Rey Mysterio’s mask, and even punched a woman. He says he is no saint, and he doesn’t wear a white or black hat, but he can look himself in the mirror at the end of the day. Because all your money and Championships don’t mean anything if you don’t have honor. Moxley says he doesn’t know what Chris Jericho sees when he looks in the mirror; a coward and a bully. And boy does he hate bullies. Mox says that, at AEW Revolution, he will have a gun pointed at his face but he won’t look away, he will stare down the barrel, he won’t blink, and he will take the AEW Championship. He says he knows he has to wait until February 28th to take that title, but he doesn’t want to wait that long to kick Jericho’s ass, so he wants him to come out now and take his beating like a man, for once.
The AEW Champion, Chris Jericho, comes out to the stage with the fans singing his theme music. He starts off by calling the crowd idiots, and says it makes him laugh to hear Moxley talk about what’s he done in AEW and what he’s earned. Because all he has earned was a spike in the eye. He says Moxley looks like a cracked-up version of Jack Sparrow. Jericho says he saw Jon’s mother backstage earlier and she was looking very fetching, maybe he’ll call her up later. But he approached her and told her why he attacked his eye the way he did; that it was all Jon’s fault. Jericho asks if they want to see them fight tonight and the fans cheer, so he tells them to go to hell. He says Cleveland doesn’t deserve to see Le Champion in action. That said, he doesn’t travel alone.
Out come Santana, Ortiz, Sammy Guevara, and Jake Hager. Moxley says Jericho thinks he has him outnumbered 5-1. However he was born and raised here in Cleveland, so the way he sees it is that it’s the five of them against this entire arena. Moxley takes off his jacket and makes his way out of the ring.
Jericho says that Moxley is as dumb as he looks. He says the five of them could beat the $hit out of him, but they didn’t come alone either. Santana and Ortiz brought some “thug” friends from the Bronx, and out come five guys dressed like Santana and Ortiz. Jericho says it’s 10-1, and he fancies those odds. So The Inner Circle make their way down the ramp and Moxley headbutts Santana, then hits a Paradigm Shift on the ramp. The rest then attack Moxley but officials quickly run down and separate everyone.

We see a video of MJF in a meat packing facility where we expected to believe The Butcher and The Blade work for a living. MJF hands them a letter with “The Young Bucks” written on it and money inside. Good God that was dumb in so many ways. The Butcher, The Blade, The Bunny, Wardlow, and MJF make their way to the ring.

She calls him Mr. Starbucks. Baker directs her attention to Jim Ross and tells him never to interrupt her again. She says he knows she’s a dentist, and he sits there all smug and pretentious, collecting a large pay-cheque for no work. She tells him to be better and not a sloppy BBQ sauce salesman who can’t even get the roster’s names rights. Baker says she will be here every week, with her smile all over the screens, which is more than she can say for the Champion, Riho. She brings Tony back over and says that, based on the stench, she thinks he has gingivitis. She says Cleveland finally has a Baker than can trust.
We go backstage for an interview with The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega. The Bucks say they needed the win tonight. Their main objective is to get back to the top of the tag team divison and get a title shot. They say nothing personal to Kenny. Page walks in and he shows them the name plates on the tag titles. He says they made the name plates for everyone, so he gives the Bucks their name plates and says they’ll need them…someday. Kenny assuages everything as Page walks off. He says that he got an eight-man tag match booked for next week, so that the four of them can face The Butcher, The Blade, and a team of their choosing.

So Cal Uncensored come to the ring wearing Lakers jerseys in honor of Kobe Bryant.
