The fans are shocked but, with Emi taking on Riho at Full Gear, it’s the only finish that made any sense. Sakura stares at Riho after the match and motions for a belt around her waist.
We get another video of the evolution of Brandi Rhodes. She says she has consistently been dismissed for who she is. She says she has the brain and Awesome Kong has the brawn, enough to tear through people. Brandi says she does not have any power. All she needed was a lapse in judgement, a moment for all the bitching to catch up to you and it has. So she has to ask, who are the bullies now?

Jericho pulls Cody from the ring and they continue their brawl, while Omega pulls the barbed wire mop from under the ring and get back inside to fight Omega. Before they can do much, Santana and Ortiz come down with barbed wire bats of their own. The Bucks then come running down and hit both with superkicks.
Everybody brawls up the ramp onto the stage where Santana and Ortiz look to powerbomb Nick Jackson off the stage but Kenny Omega prevents it. Omega drives a knee into Santana, then Moxley reappears and drops Ortiz with the Paradigm Shift. They stop for a second before brawling with each other again and their fight spills to the back where they disappear. Nick Jackson then takes to the top of the LED screen and dives off onto everyone standing below. The heels then retreat down the ramp and we have a stand-off. That’s not the end though, because the brawl breaks out again and the show goes off the air with everyone fighting across ringside and up the ramp.
And that’s the final Dynamite before AEW Full Gear on Saturday. We’ll have full results of the PPV right here but, before that, be sure to let us know what you thought of tonight’s show and come back tomorrow for more news. Until then, safe travels!
