The participants included The Beaver Boys, Private Party, Serpentico, Luther, Scorpio Sky, Matt Sydal, Miro, Orange Cassidy, Joey Janela, Jungle Boy, “Hangman” Adam Page, Sammy Guevara, Wardlow and current holder of the Dynamite Diamond Ring – MJF.
Miro looked like an absolute one man wrecking crew in the match until Guevara, MJF and Wardlow triple-teamed to throw him out. There were rising tensions between Sammy Guevara and MJF as well. MJF and Orange Cassidy eventually walked out victors and will face each other next week for the Dynamite Diamond Ring.
Frankie Kazarian vs Chris Jericho
Last week, Jericho and Hager defeated Kazarian and Daniels, thanks to MJF’s ring. This led to the match between the two last night. Both men started off with some chain wrestling, and Jericho continued pulling his heel tricks throughout the match.
Kazarian locked in the Walls of Jericho on ‘Le Champion,’ before MJF came out and was about to throw in the towel. Sammy Guevara snatched the towel from him. Eventually, Jericho won by a Judas Effect. Post-match, he announced that next week will be the Inner Circle’s Ultimatum!
Britt Baker vs “Legit” Leyla Hirsch
Britt Baker and Leyla Hirsch fought in a very impressive and physical match. Both women looked good in this contest, but it was Britt Baker who took the W with the help of a LockJaw.
After the match, former NWA Women’s World Champion Thunder Rosa attacked Baker from behind. Leyla leveled Reba to end the segment.
TNT Champion Darby Allin & Cody Rhodes vs Powerhouse Hobbs & Ricky Starks (Team Taz)
The match started quick, as all four men brawled from the get go. The momentum of the match kept shifting from one team to another. In the closing moments, Cody hit the springboard cutter on Starks, and took out Hobbs with a suicide dive, enabling Allin to hit the coffin drop for the victory.
After the match, Team Taz continued attacking Cody and Darby until Dustin Rhodes came out for the save. He was also quickly grounded by ‘The Machine’ Brian Cage. Just as Hobbs was about to hit Cody Rhodes with the FTW Title, ‘The Icon’ Sting made a surprising AEW Debut! He walked down to the ring, stared at all men that Team Taz attacked and went back.
The Dynamite: Kenny Omega vs Jon Moxley – AEW World Championship
The main event that had wrestling fans buzzing since its announcement! The last time these two met, it was an unsanctioned match. This one? A pure one fall match with a sixty-minute time limit. The match went on for forty-five minutes and both men gave it their all in a battle to walk out as AEW’s #1.

Omega’s friend and Impact! Wrestling EVP Don Callis caused a distraction and passed on a mic to Omega. He picked it and smashed it right on Moxley‘s forehead, opening him up. He then followed with four V-Triggers before hitting a One Winged Angel to be the AEW World Champion.
