Tonight’s Dynamite is set to be a big one according to Tony Khan, but the man has a tendency to over-promise. Regardless, tonight’s show will see Lance Archer face Dustin Rhodes and Cody Vs. Darby Allin in the two semi-final matches of the TNT Championship Tournament.

Elsewhere tonight, Kip Sabian and Jimmy Havoc will take on the Best Friends in a No DQ/No Count-Out match. Brodi Lee will face Marko Stunt in what will surely be a back and forth epic. And Jon Moxley will be on the show to welcome a new challenger to the AEW World Heavyweight Championship.

*Commercial Break*

We get an injury update from MJF, who says he saw his doctor again this past week and the unthinkable has happened: his hand has not only healed, but it overhealed and is now the strongest hand in the world. Unfortunately, he cut his neck shaving and now he’s made wear a neck brace. And it sucks because he couldn’t wait to fly in a germ-infested plane to perform in front of six or seven of his peers. But rest assured, he will be back.

Wardlow Vs. Musa

The bell rings and Musa runs into a one-handed spinebuster. Wardlow slams Musa into the buckles and delivers some shoulders. Musa manages to drop Wardlow to one knee, but then he’s lifted onto the top rope and pulled down into a knee to the face. Wardlow takes the straps down and hits a release airplane spin for the win.

Winner: Wardlow


Still to come, a Jon Moxley announcement, Brodi Lee in action, and Lance Archer Vs. Dustin Rhodes.

*Commercial Break*

We get the third instalment of The Bubbly Bunch. They argue over who won the Tik Tok dance challenge last week. They have a fight through their phones, like the stuntman video that went viral this week. The video included The Inner Circle, Sonny Kiss, Jungle Boy, Luther, Lou Ferigno, Corey Taylor, Jay & Silent Bob, Fluffy Iglesias, Hornswoggle, Vickie Guerrero, and more.

No Rules Match

Back in the ring, Sabian whips Trent chest-first into the buckles and Havoc slides a small ladder inside.

Winners: Best Friends


*Commercial Break*

We see a video of Britt Baker at work, instructing someone on what to say and to be sure to call her Doctor. Baker then says certain people can’t be role models; glasses wearers, snaggle-tooths, wannabes, and fat people. For each of which she showed a picture of Tony Schiavone.

The match gets underway and Black takes Spears down but Shawn powers his way out. Spearsa puts him in the corner and hits a big chop, then flexes his glutes. Black lands some chops and an elbow but Spears flips a switch and batters him down.

Marko jumps at Lee from the middle rope but gets caught with a spinning sidewalk slam. Brodi hits a sit-out powerbomb for the win.

Winner: Brodi Lee

We see a video of Jon Moxley in the desert. He says it’s incredible that it was only eight weeks ago that he won the AEW World Championship in front of fans, and since then the whole world has changed. He promises one day he’ll be bleeding and swearing in front of fans again, but in the meantime there’s a lot to be thankful for; his wife, steel chairs, and that AEW will be live next week. He’s got a target on his back with Double Or Nothing coming up but anyone that steps up against him does it at their own risk. He finishes by telling people to support local businesses and call their grandmothers.

*Commercial Break*
