Another week, another high stakes episode of AEW Dynamite. This week's show saw the TNT Championship tournament continue as Lance Archer faced Colt Cabana. Dr. Britt Baker was in action once again following her nasty injury last week. We also saw Sammy Guevara of the Inner Circle taking on Suge D in singles action.
The main event saw Jake Hager challenge Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship in an empty arena match. Both men proved how tough they are and left it all out there in the ring.
Lance Archer vs Colt Cabana (TNT Championship tournament quarter-final)
The size difference between Archer and Cabana was apparent throughout this match. Archer hit Cabana with a right hand as soon as the match began, and it was all Lance Archer going forward. Archer was all over Cabana until we cut to the first ad break, with the big man showing us he not only had power but was also deceptively agile.
After we came back from the ad break, Cabana finally found himself an opening. He threw whatever he had at Lance Archer but the camera caught the big man just smiling. Archer didn't waste too much time after this, hitting Colt Cabana with the Blackout to win the match.

We got a promo from Britt Baker next. Baker had faced Hikaru Shida in last week's episode of AEW Dynamite. During that match, a strike from Shida had left blood pouring out of her nose.
Baker was back on Dynamite tonight told us the rules of being a role model in a promo video. The first rule, according to her, was to 'always fight fair'. Baker also added that it had been harder for her last week without her 'beloved fans' in attendance.
Cassandra Golden vs Dr. Britt Baker
The doctor made short work of her opponent. She caught Golden with a superkick as soon as the match began. Baker then stomped the back of her head before pinning her opponent in short order.

The Bubbly Bunch
The debut edition of the Inner Circle's Bubby Bunch was up next. You can check it out below:
Suge D vs Sammy Guevara
Sammy Guevara took down his opponent early and it was time for him to showboat. Suge followed by a flip. Guevara didn't look happy and hit back with a knee strike.
It was mostly Guevara after this as he hit a vertical suplex. Suge D tried to crawl to the ropes to help himself up but Guevara used help from the ropes to stand on his opponents' neck, still as smug as ever.
Suge tried to roll Guevara up but was unsuccessful. Guevara hit back with a Death Valley Driver followed by a reverse GTS for the win.

Guevara continued his attack after the match but was chased away by Darby Allin.
Kip Sabian vs Chuck Taylor
Chuck Taylor dominated the early stages of the match. At one point we saw Jimmy Havoc mocking Chuckie T from ringside. Sabian hit back with a missile dropkick followed by a boot to the back of the head.
Sabian then took Taylor to the top turnbuckle and locked him in a Full Nelson. Chuckie T fought out of it and went for a moonsault which he missed. He somehow followed it up with a sitout powerbomb for a near fall. He followed it up with a second powerbomb but Sabian kicked out again.
The finish saw Jimmy Havoc take out Orange Cassidy at ringside. With Sabian distracting the ref, Penelope Ford hit Chuckie T with a hurricanrana. Kip Sabian used this to roll Taylor up and leave with the win.

Shawn Spears vs Justin Long
Shawn Spears faced rookie Justin Long next. At one point, Spears lay on his knees on the mat asking Long to show him what he had. Long almost managed to roll up Spears for the win and this ended the fun and games. Spears soon finished Long off with the Death Vallet Driver.

Jon Moxley (C) vs Jake Hager (Empty Arena match for the AEW World Championship)
The match started off in the ring and both men started out a little gingerly, feeling each other out slowly. No power moves early on, as the two men tried to outmaneuver each other. The fight soon spilled out to ringside and then into the seating area. Hager was on top for the most part until now but Moxley hit back with right hands before locking in a Figure-4 Leglock against a guardrail.
Moxley then went to hit a vertical suplex onto the concrete floor but Hager blocked it and tossed Mox into the barricade.
Both men made their way back to the ring. Hager planted Moxley and went for the Hager Bomb. Hager had to stop midway after Moxley rolled out of the way and the Champion hit back with a jumping knee strike.
Hager hit back with knee strikes to the midsection followed by a gutwrench powerbomb for a 2-count.
Back from the commercial break, we saw Jon Moxley take Hager down with a clothesline. Hager tried to hit back with an ankle lock but Mox broke free and hit Hager with a DDT.
Hager then brought a steel chair into the ring and set it up in the corner. Moxley charged at Hage who sidestepped, causing Mox to go headfirst through the chair. Hager then took the chair and went after Moxley's foot.
Hager then went for the ankle lock but Moxley fought out of it. He took the steel chair and smacked Hager with it before planting him with the Paradigm Shift onto the steel chair. Moxley then pinned Hager to retain his title.
