AEW Dynamite Crowd Gets Graphic Warning Ahead of Blood and Guts Event

Minutes before AEW Dynamite went live from the First Horizon Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina, fans inside the arena were hit with a blunt warning on the big screen—and it set the tone for what turned out to be one of the most violent nights in company history.

Displayed above the ring in bold white letters was AEW’s updated Fan Code of Conduct message:

“CAUTION! If you have a seat on the floor, you are at risk of being struck by persons, objects, barricades and other items. Please be aware of the action as you are watching and move out of the way if someone or something is coming your way. By staying in this area, you assume all risks of injury to yourself and to your property.”

This warning came just ten minutes before showtime, right as fans were settling in for the chaotic spectacle of not one, but two Blood and Guts matches—one for the men and one for the women.

For the men’s side, The Death Riders took on Darby Allin, Mark Briscoe, Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong and Kyle O’Reilly inside the brutal double cage. And for the first time ever, AEW showcased a Women’s Blood and Guts match, pitting Mercedes Moné, Megan Bayne, Marina Shafir and the Triangle of Madness against a stacked team of Kris Statlander, Toni Storm, Willow Nightingale, Mina Shirakawa, Jamie Hayter and Harley Cameron.

Adding to the night’s brutality was a Falls Count Anywhere match featuring AEW World Champion “Hangman” Adam Page against Powerhouse Hobbs, just days before Page is set to defend the title at Full Gear against Samoa Joe.

The updated fan warning wasn’t just for show—it served as a real-time reminder that AEW isn’t afraid to bring the action up close, even if it means shattering the barrier between performers and spectators. With such a violent card on deck, the pre-show caution felt less like a suggestion and more like a prelude to chaos.
