The main-event of AEW Dynamite tonight saw Hangman Page team up with a mystery partner to take on Chris Jericho and Sammy Guevara of The Inner Circle. We also had Death Triangle in action tonight against Private Party and Joey Janela.

Also on the card was MJF teaming up with The Butcher and The Blade to face Jurassic Express. Tonight's show also saw the first AEW appearance of Lance Archer. Archer was indeed the man Jake Roberts teased as his client on last week's episode of Dynamite.


Cody vs Ortiz

Ortiz held his own in the beginning stages of the match against Cody. Both men were closely matched early on. Soon after the start of the match, we saw Jake Roberts and his new client Lance Archer, on his AEW debut, making their way down to ringside through the crowd.

Ortiz used a distraction by Santana to go straight after his leg. He continued to work on the leg and when the referee was distracted, Santana had a go at it too.

A scuffle on the outside saw Brandi go after Santana. This led to Santana going for Arn Anderson, with Cody taking Santana out with a suicide dive.

Cody then locked in a Figure 4 Leglock in the middle of the ring. It looked like Ortiz would reach the ropes but Cody pulled him back and turned him over, forcing Ortiz to tap.

Santana attacked Cody from behind after the match but he was chased off by Matt Jackson, Kenny Omega and Arn Anderson.


Chris Jericho and the Inner Circle appeared backstage after this. They had brutally attacked Nick Jackson, trapping him under a metal door. Members of the Elite along with medics rushed to get to Jackson.

Nyla Rose and Bea Priestley vs Hikaru Shida and Kris Statlander

Nyla Rose and Kris Statlander started the match for their respective teams. Rose was totally dominant in the opening stages, hitting Statlander with a leg drop from the middle rope. Rose continued her dominance until Statlander finally managed to tag in her partner.

Shida and Priestley were legal until Rose tagged back in and took control. She was all over Shida. Priestley leaped up to the middle rope but Statlander stopped her. Shida then came in and suplexed her own partner into Priestley.

Rose tagged back in and knocked Statlander of the apron. Statlander and Shida then went for Nyla Rose. Rose overpowered them and hit Shida with a Spear, followed by a Beast Bomb for the win.

Christopher Daniels' video message mocking The Dark Order was next. Daniels said he wasn't the Exalted One, and that The Dark Order had no Exalted One.

He challenged both Grayson and Evil Uno to singles matches, and he said that after beating them, he would prove that The Exalted One did not exist.

MJF, The Butcher, and The Blade vs Jurassic Express

MJF and Marko Stunt started off as the legal men. MJF easily overpowered Stunt and pushed him into the corner. Stunt quickly tagged in Luchasaurus, forcing MJF to retreat.

The Butcher and The Blade came in and went right after Luchasaurus. The heels kept the big man isolated in their corner and kept trading tags. Luchasaurus started to fight back but was taken out again before he could make a tag.

Luchasaurus hit The Butcher with a spinning kick taking him out. MJF and The Blade desperately tried to hold his leg to try to stop him from tagging out but he just dragged them across the ring with him.

Jungle Boy tagged in and cleared house. Luchasaurus then launched himself at the heels at ringside. Back in the ring, he hit a massive double chokeslam followed by a moonsault to MJF.

Marko Stunt came in next and he went right after MJF, stomping a mudhole in him. The Bunny came up for the distraction here and Jungle Boy was launched over the top rope. At the same time, Wardlow took out Luchasaurus.

Stunt was isolated and MJF locked in the Salt of the Earth, forcing him to tap out.

Dr. Britt Baker was out next, talking to Tony Schiavone. She was interrupted by Big Swole. Things got heated and it led to Baker throwing coffee in Swole's face.

Death Triangle vs Joey Janela and Private Party

This match ended up being pretty short. Death Triangle were in no mood to play around tonight and went straight for their opponents.

Kassidy and PAC ended up starting as the legal men. PAC drove him back, forcing him to tag Quen in. They hit the Silly String before tagging Janela in. Death Triangle were in full control after this. Janela hit back with a suicide dive. Quen followed it with a Shooting Star but the pin was broken up.

PAC came in next and hit Quen with a spinning kick. He then went for a German Suplex only for Quen to land on his feet. Quen hit a senton on Pentagon and Kassidy then leapt off of PAC's back to nail Fenix with a senton of his own. Janela then hit PAC with a Death Valley Driver onto the apron.

Pentagon and Fenix then came in and hit Janela with the Double Stomp/Package Piledriver Combo for the win.

Death Triangle locked in a triple submission on all three opponents after the match. They were chased off by Best Friends and Orange Cassidy.

Chris Jericho and Sammy Guevara vs Hangman Page and Dustin Rhodes

Earlier in the night, Dustin Rhodes had revealed that he would be Page's partner tonight.

Jericho and Hangman Page started off the match although Jericho tagged out almost immediately. Page and Rhodes were all over Sammy Guevara, relishing their chance to get their hands on him.

Guevara then hit back and launched Page out of the ring. The Inner Circle went to work at this point as Jericho took a beer from a fan and mocked Hangman. Page hit back with a right hand to Jericho but ate a PK from Guevara for his troubles.

Both teams continued to go back and forth. The finish saw Page on the apron, ready to hit the Buckshot Lariat. Jericho intervened and pulled him off. At the same time, Dustin Rhodes nailed Guevara with a Canadian Destroyer.

Page was back up on the apron and nailed the Buckshot Lariat for the win.

The Inner Circle continued to assault Page and Rhodes after the ring. Omega and Cody came out to try and help but were swatted away. Finally, as Page was about to be powerbombed off the stage, Matt Jackson came out. However, Jericho soon nailed both Jackson and Page with a steel chair to leave them laying.
