Dynamite

This week’s Dynamite opens with Justin Roberts introducing Cody for the TNT Championship open challenge! Roberts introduces Cody but before he can introduce his opponent, out comes Eddie Kingston.

Kingston says it’s easy for Cody to be a Champion and to talk about grinding because he’s grown up around legends like Arn Anderson. He knows nothing about pro wrestling or grinding. He says everyone Cody has wrestled so far has been a child but he’s a grown ass man. He threatens Arn and says Tony Khan has paid him to come here and beat Cody’s ass. And Tony told him he can have a no disqualification match, so long as Cody accepts.

TNT Championship

AEW World Champion Jon Moxley will be talking to us live after the break.

*Commercial Break*

Jon Moxley cuts a promo backstage. He says in a business renowned for people being full of it, he prides himself on being honest. He does what he says. He promised he would snap Brian Cage’s arm and, when he had him in the armbar, he could hear the tendons snapping, a sound he loves. But Taz made the right call and threw the towel in. But next time, he’s not letting go.

MJF comes out for his match with relative unknown Griff Garrison. MJF tells him to introduce himself and calls him “Jungle Man”. MJF then mocks him and cuts a pretty basic promo, and then Garrison reminds MJF he lost at Fyter Fest.

MJF W/Wardlow Vs. Griff Garrison

MJF cheap shots Griff at the outset and beats him into the corner, then hits an arm-drag into the turnbuckles. MJF hits a belly-to-belly, followed by a knee drop as we head to the break.

*Commercial Break*

Back live and MJF is still beating on Griff. He grabs a microphone and says they got off on the wrong foot, he lost his temper and he’s sorry. MJF says he didn’t lost, never been pinned or submitted. He asks Griff to tell the fans he’s undefeated but Garrison slaps the microphone away. MJF stands on his hand and asks again but he doesn’t answer. Once more and Griff acquiesces.

Griff attempts a roll-up but MJF kicks out and hits him with a lariat. MJF unloads some ground and pound, then hits him with the Heatseeker piledriver for the win.

Winner: MJF

Tony Schiavone interviews Reba for an update on Britt Baker, who allegedly had surgery recently. Before she can say anything, Baker yells at her, so Tony interviews Britt instead. She says Shida busted her nose but she returned the following week. She says it’s a conspiracy but conspirators be damned, she’s going to make the greatest sports comeback of all time.

Taz comes to the ring with Brian Cage. Taz says they’ve had a very difficult week and they had a lot of heated discussions. And to be frank, Cage considered firing him but cooler heads prevailed. He gives Moxley credit for his armbar but he refused to let his machine tear his bicep for a second time. He stands by what he did as a business decision. But Cage didn’t tap and he never would. No surrender.

Darby Allin interrupts and comes to the ring but Ricky Starks attakcs him on the ramp. Starks beats Allin, then Cage powerbombs him on the ramp, then throws him into the ring. Starks slams Allin, then Cage grabs the skateboard, but out comes Moxley with a barbed wire bat and they retreat.

This summer there will be a 16-woman tag team tournament.

*Commercial Break*

Chris Jericho is interviewed backstage and he is angry his white $7000 jacket is orange. He says he’s going to embarrass Cassidy for what he did, and The Inner Circle are going to embarrass Jurassic Express for laughing last week.
