AEW Dynamite is back on the road! It's Road Rager, and we're in Miami. Jim Ross, Tony Schiavone, and Excalibur are behind the microphones and we're starting things off with a South Beach Strap Match.
Cody Rhodes vs QT Marshall - AEW South Beach Strap Match
Cody Rhodes, flanked by Arn Anderson, was the first one out. Cody heads to the ringside seats and gives his weight belt to a fan. Meanwhile, his opponent, QT Marshall, was already present and went outside. Cody decided not to waste time and hit his rival with a Tope Suicida.
Finally, we get both men back in the ring and strapped together.
Dustin Rhodes hits the ring to back his little brother up and take care of Aaron Solow at ringside, chasing him up through the noisy AEW crowd and away from the ring.
QT dragged Cody post to post, but Rhodes was tagging the turnbuckles, as well. When they got to the final ring post, Cody jumped on him and the referee reset the count.
A few minutes later, and Cody had QT busted open and he tagged two posts. The lights go out momentarily and when they come back on, there's no change in the ring, and Cody tagged the third post. Marshall had enough time to recover and slam Rhodes with a flatliner to break up the count.
QT had Cody on the top turnbuckle and nailed the American Nightmare with a Diamond Cutter off the top rope. Marshall got three buckles, but Cody broke it up.
Cody is hulked up, and naied Marshall with a cutter. As Cody went for the buckles again, Marshall grabbed the strap and pulled Rhodes up to him. He proceeded to spit in the American Nightmare's face!
Cody responded with a trifecta of CROSS RHODES! It's enough to keep Marshall down, and Cody hits every corner to win the match.
Result: Cody Rhodes defeats QT Marshall
Grade: B+
Last week, Shawn Spears nailed Sammy Guevara with a chairshot, as he is wont to do. Spears cut a promo backstage on AEW Dynamite, and Sammy returned the favor by hurling a chair at him.
Back from a commercial break, and we're getting a special interview - Tony Schiavone is in the ring about to talk to the AEW World Champion, Kenny Omega.
Hangman Page and Kenny Omega come face-to-face on AEW Dynamite
Tony is about to talk to AEW Champion Kenny Omega and Don Callis, but Callis tells the legendary announcer to go away. Callis tried to speak over the crowd as they chanted "You got fired!"
Callis hit back by saying "Real men don't quit, they get fired."
Callis then brought up the recurring point they've made recently, that Omega has no more challengers in AEW. The crowd chants "Hangman" Adam Page's name, but Callis ignores them. So, Dark Order comes out and Evil Uno asks him why he's ignoring them.
Omega pulls the old Christian Cage "What's the capital of Thailand?" gag and hits Uno with a low blow. A brawl breaks out between Omega's allies and The Dark Order.
Hangman came out to rescue his friends from a beatdown and confronted Kenny Omega in the ring which got the crowd buzzing.
The AEW Champion slapped Page and decided to retreat.
Now we've got a one-on-one with Jim Ross in between Ethan Page and Darby Allin. J.R. is disgusted that these two are trying to end each other's career, and Allin and Page begin a fantastic back and forth promo.
Next week, AEW comes to Austin, TX, and it'll feature Darby Allin vs Ethan Page in a Coffin Match.
Jake Hager, Santana, and Ortiz vs Wardlow and FTR - Trios match on AEW Dynamite
It was time for a trios match as FTR and Wardlow took on Ortiz, Santana, and Jake Hager. Konnan came to the ring with the representatives of the Inner Circle.
Ortiz and Dax Harwood started off the match and Dax got some big chops in before getting Wheeler in. Cash dropped Ortiz and Wardlow inflicted more damage by hitting a gutwrench powerbomb.
Jake Hager gets tagged in and proceeded to just destroy everybody in the ring that's not on his team. At this point, we get a chance to catch our collective breath when the show goes to commercial.
Wheeler was getting picked apart by Ortiz but Harwood got a blind tag. After this, we got Hager and Wardlow inside the ring and both men went at it with some big shots. Jake got an Ankle Lock synched in but Tully Blanchard provided a timely distraction. This allowed FTR to hit the Big Rig and Wardlow secured the pin on AEW Dynamite.
Result: Wardlow and FTR defeats Jake Hager, Santana, and Ortiz.
Grade: B
Konnan hits the ring, attempting to get some payback, but his attack doesn't really do anything to Wardlow. Tully Blanchard clips him in the knee, sending the Inner Circle members back to the ring to check on him.
AEW's Jon Moxley is the current IWGP United States champion, and the Good Brothers aren't happy about that one bit. However, they're confident that "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson will relieve him of it at Fyter Fest.
MJF lays out the stipulations to Chris Jericho on AEW Dynamite
MJF came to the ring to confront his archrival, Le Champion Chris Jericho. Jericho has time to come to the ring, as we've got another commercial.
Jericho makes his entrance and how great is it to hear a live crowd sing along with "Judas"?
Right as Jericho gets to the ring, a fan from the crowd tries to get in, and security drags him away before anything can happen.
Jericho doesn't care what the stipulations are for a match against MJF. The Pinnacle leader said that Jericho must face four opponents with stipulations of his choosing and secure back-to-back wins, before he can take on MJF himself.
Jericho agreed and cut a blistering promo on Friedman, including bringing up Greek mythology. Jericho signed the contract, but MJF insisted that the two of them shake hands to seal the deal. Chris shakes his hand, then pulls him in for a Judas Effect.
We get a promo from AEW Women's Champion Britt Baker and then head right into Matt Sydal vs Andrade El Idolo.
Andrade El Idolo vs Matt Sydal on AEW Dynamite
Andrade kicked things off by putting down Sydal and then proceeded to hit a moonsault. Matt moved out of the way but was unable to avoid a standing moonsaultt from El Idolo.
Sydal hit back with a moonsault of his own. Andrade went for a knee in the corner but Sydal dodged it and got a Leg Lariat.
The former NXT Champion, however, turned Sydal inside out with a Leg Lariat of his own. Andrade went to the top but was cut off by Matt. However, Sydal got himself in a pickle and Andrade almost hit the diving foot stomp.
This was avoided by Sydal, who got a meteora in. But Matt was unable to capitalize as Andrade got the double knees in the corner and hit the Hammerlock DDT to get the win on AEW Dynamite.
Result: Andrade El Idolo defeats Matt Sydal
Grade: B
Andrade isn't done and uses his belt to slap Sydal into the Rings of Saturn. Andrade is set to make his mark in AEW and he apparently doesn't care who gets in his way.
Tommy End fka Aleister Black debuts in AEW
Tony Schiavone is in the ring with Arn Anderson, who is psyched that AEW is in Miami! The lights go out again and this time, we see Tommy End fka Aleister Black standing in the ring. He is now known as Malakai Black.
Black nails Arn with a Black Mass. Cody comes into the ring to protect the Enforcer. Black backs off for a moment and nails The American Nightmare with a Black Mass as well.
Coming up now - It's The Blade (of The Butcher and The Blade) and The Bunny (also of The Butcher and The Blade) against Kris Statlander and Orange Cassidy.
The Blade and The Bunny vs Kris Statlander and Orange Cassidy in an AEW Mixed Tag Team Match
Aubrey Edwards checks all the competitors for illegal weapons and finds a pair of brass knuckles on The Blade.
Orange was in the ring with The Bunny at first. He landed his "big" kicks on her but she tagged out to The Blade. He tried to attack Cassidy but ate a dropkick for his troubles. Orange tried for a counter DDT but The Blade got a powerslam in.
Statlander and Bunny came in and Kris got the better of the exchange. However, Bunny recovered as we went to a break.
Statlander hit a blue thunder bomb and The Blade and Cassidy came in. Both men engaged in some fast-paced action.
Near the end of the match, while Aubrey Edwards is distracted, The Bunny has her hands on brass knuckles and hands them to Blade - who uses them to lay out Cassidy.
Kris reaches over the ropes and tags herself in while Orange is out cold on the mat. She then leaps to the floor to disguise the fact she's tagged in. Kris sneaks back in and rolls up the Bunny for the Pin.
Result: Orange Cassidy and Kris Statlander defeat The Blade and The Bunny.
Grade: B
American Top Team gym owner Dan Lambert cut a pretty amazing promo, both promoting and tearing down AEW at the same time. He was invited by Tony Khan, along with Amanda Nunes and Jorge Masvidal, and told the crowd about how he's an old school wrestling fan and how AEW can't match up to it.
Lance Archer had enough of it and destroyed Dan Lambert.
Now we have our main event, AEW Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks vs Eddie Kingston, and Penta El Zero M
Eddie Kingston and Penta El Zero M vs AEW Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks
This was a street fight all the way. The Young Bucks weren't allowed to finish their entrances as Eddie and Penta pounced on them.
The challengers cornered Cutler before Matt and Nick made the save. Nick took out Penta and Kingston with a chair. However, Eddie got hold of the weapon and Penta improvised to use the chair on Nick with a dropkick.
Penta then sent Matt through the table with a Canadian Destroyer. However, he lost control when his attempt at using a trash can backfired.
Nick hit a senton off the top rope with the can on Kingston. Penta came back and hit a sling blade on The Young Bucks.
The Bucks recovered and tried to double team Kingston, which got broken up by Penta. The Luchador got a swinging DDT on Matt and Kingston had the AEW Tag Team Champion in a rear-naked choke. In an attempt to save his brother, Nick hit a 450 on the AEW referee.
The Good Brothers came out and Penta took them out with a big flip on both of them. In the ring, Matt hit a spear on Kingston and Cutler tried to use the cold spray on Eddie.
Cutler was sent through a table by Kazarian while Penta and Kingston hit a brilliant team finisher. A new ref came in but he was pulled out by Nick to save The Young Bucks' AEW Tag team title reign.
Kazarian attacked Nick and got him into the ring. The Elite Hunter was taken out by The Good Brothers. Kingston took out some thumbtacks but Matt threw a few of them into Eddie's face.
Nick sent Penta onto the thumbtacks with a hurricanrana but was unable to get the pin.
The finish saw Nick stuff a few thumbtacks inside and Eddie's mouth and Matt hit a superkick to finish him off on AEW Dynamite.
Result: The Young Bucks defeat Eddie Kingston and Penta El Zero M
Grade: A
