Jon Moxley calls out Chris Jericho
Jon Moxley opened tonight's episode of AEW Dynamite which took place in Moxley's home state of Ohio. Moxley addressed the fact that there was still weeks away before the two men at AEW Revolution. The new #1 contender challenged Jericho to come out and meet him in the ring, and for once to take a beating like man.
Jericho's music hit at this point and he and the Inner Circle came out on the apron. After running Moxley down on the mic, Jericho invited five of Ortiz's friends out to join them taking the numbers advantage to 10 to 1.
Moxley still didn't back down and charged up the ramp at the heels. Security were forced to intervene at this point and after hitting a couple of Paradigm Shifts, Moxley retreated through the crowd.
The Young Bucks vs The Butcher and The Blade
MJF came out with The Butcher and The Blade before moving over to commentary. Thanks to distractions from Allie, The Butcher and The Blade dominated the early stages of the match. The heels isolated Nick Jackson and hit him with a double-team gut check only for Matt Jackson to break up the count.
Matt tagged in and laid into The Butcher. Matt hit The Butcher with a dropkick through the rope before hitting The Blade with a Sliced Bread. Jackson leapt out of the ring after this and hit The Butcher with a superkick at ringside, followed by a flying elbow to The Blade in the middle of the ring for a 2-count.

Nyla Rose vs Big Swole
Swole used her speed to stay away from Nyla Rose in the opening exchanges. She followed it up by going after Nyla's knee, briefly taking her down. Swole followed up by trying to hit a shoulder charge but it had no effect at all.
Nyla Rose sent Swole face-first into the apron of the ring before tossing her into the barricade. Rose then took the protective cover off the back of the turnbuckle before wedging Swole's hand against it and kicking it.
Swole fought back with all she had, trying to lock in an elevated headlock. Rose powered free and hit Swole with a knee to the gut. Swole followed it up with a huge pump kick to the face but Rose replied with a headbutt. The 'Native Beast' was caught by a cutter from the middle rope but she kicked out.
Just when it looked like Big Swole had a chance to leave with the win, Nyla Rose hit back and caught Swole with a nasty sitout powerbomb. That was all she wrote for Big Swole as Nyle Rose covered her for the win.

Cody (w/Arn Anderson) vs Kip Sabian (w/Penelope Ford)

It looked like Cody had accidentally knocked Penelope Ford. This was a distraction and allowed Sabian to boot Cody across the face and take back control of the match. Sabian brieflly called over the ringside doctor to check on him but it was a ruse. Sabian took Cody out with a springboard dropkick.
Cody did not look happy and hit back with a powerslam. Penelope Ford tried to distract Cody again but he hit Sabian with a Disaster Kick.Things got a little heated at this point as Arn Anderson was ejected by the referee. Penelope Ford used this distraction to hit Cody with a hurricanrana at ringside and Sabian followed it up with a dive over the top rope.
Joey Janela came out to briefly distract Sabian, giving Cody an opening. Cody hit Sabian with a dive through the ropes before following it up with not one, but two Cross Rhodes' on Sabian to pin him.

Britt Baker calls out Jim Ross
Tony Schiavone was on the entrance ramp next along with Britt Baker. Baker insulted Tony again by calling him "Mr. Starbucks". Britt Baker then turned her attention to Jim Ross and calling him a sloppy barbecue sauce seller who couldn't get the wrestlers names right. Baker also told JR to stop taking shots at her division and her generation.
Baker then told Schiavone he might have gingivitis and told him to pick up a toothbrush once in a while.
SCU vs TH2
Kazarian and Angelico started the match off. Kazarian was in control for the most part of these early stages and he quickly tagged in Scorpio Sky.
