The go-home show of AEW Dynamite didn't disappoint and it ended with three huge returns ahead of AEW Double or Nothing. The main event of tonight's episode saw Matt Hardy get a shot at revenge as he took on Sammy Guevara in singles action and the night ended with a massive brawl.
We also had AEW World Champion Jon Moxley and AEW Women's Champion Nyla Rose in action tonight. Tonight's show also saw wrestling legends Arn Anderson and Jake Roberts in the ring for an interview segment on AEW Dynamite.
Jon Moxley vs 10
AEW Dynamite kicked off with world champion Jon Moxley in action against 10, from The Dark Order. Moxley started on top and didn't hold anything back. The champion took out weeks of frustration on Brodie Lee's minion until a lapse of concentration from him allowed 10 to take initiative, although briefly.
With 10 briefly on top, he sent Moxley into the barricade at ringside followed by chops. Back in the ring, Moxley hit back with a DDT. He then tried to goad Brodie Lee into coming back out but wasn't successful. Mox then finished 10 off with a Paradigm Shift on AEW Dynamite.

Moxley took a steel chair after the match and place it on 10's arm. He then implored Brodie Lee to come out. When he didn't get what he wanted, he smashed another steel chair into the one on 10's arm.
MJF vs Marko Stunt
MJF dominated the early stages of the match as Stunt failed to get any kind of foothold. MJF put Stunt in a bear hug early on and followed it by taking Stunt's hand and making him hit himself.
Marko replied with a hurracanrana that sent MJF face-first into the turnbuckle. He followed it up with a couple of dropkicks followed by a jumping knee strike.Stunt soon sidestepped MJF, sending him crashing out of the ring. MJF charged again, this time running into the steel steps.
Back in the ring, MJF hit a should-breaker followed by the Salt of the Earth which forced Stunt to tap out on AEW Dynamite.

Jake Roberts and Arn Anderson sit face-to-face ahead of AEW Dynamite
Roberts started off this segment on AEW Dynamite, saying that Archer would destroy Cody at Double or Nothing. He went on to take a shot at Arn asking if he was out on his weekend pass.
Arn replied that he saw what Jake was doing. He went on to add that back in the day, Jake used to intimidate everyone with the snake. Arn added that Mike Tyson would be at Double or Nothing and asked if Jake would throw the snake on Tyson.
Arn added that Cody was one of the leaders of AEW and that he wasn't just Dusty Rhodes' son or Dustin Rhodes' brother and went on to say that Cody would win the title to cement his spot at the top of AEW.
After this, Arn and Jake almost came to blows on AEW Dynamite with Jake tossing aside the table between them. Arn had threatened to send Jake through the table with a spine buster and referees had to come out to keep these two legends separated.
We got a message from PAC ahead of our next match on AEW Dynamite. PAC took shots at Orange Cassidy ahead of Double or Nothing.
Orange Cassidy vs Fenix
Orange Cassidy started the match with as much energy as someone as "lazy' as him could have but was soon greeted by a double stomp to the back of the head. Fenix looked at the top of his game tonight but Cassidy kept toe to toe wit hhim.
Orange countered Fenix's offense with a DDT of his own. Midway through the match, Kip Sabian came out with a ladder to "scout" his opponent ahead of the ladder match at Double or Nothing.
Sabian proved to be the distraction that cost Cassidy the match. With Orange distracted, Fenix caught him with a Cutter and that was enough to pin him.

Things broke down fast after the match with a number of participants in the Casino Ladder match and others coming out to try and leave a mark including Colt Cabana and Frankie Kazarian. We also saw Best Friends come out to check on Orange Cassidy, who had a rough night on AEW Dynamite.
Nyla Rose and Dr. Britt Baker vs Hikaru Shida and Kris Statlander on AEW Dynamite
Next up on AEW Dynamite was a tag match between four of the top female competitors on the roster. Nyla Rose tried to nail Hikaru Shida with her kendo stick before the bell had even rung, only for Shida to dodge it and grab hold of it. Britt Baker ended up running into it before Statlander booted the kendo stick away.
As the match finally started, the champion and Statlander were the legal women and the AEW Women's Champion dominated in the early stages of the match, working Statlander in the corner and wearing her out. The champion continued to dominate Statlander as we headed to commercial.
It looked like Britt Baker didn't want to tag herself in but was forced to by her partner, Nyla Rose. Shida came in after being tagged in on the other corner and she dominated the match for her team taking the fight to both Rose and Baker.
Shida followed it up with a missile dropkick to Rose followed by a running knee for a near fall. It looked like Baker's knee was hurt and the doctor checked on her at ringside.
The numbers disadvantage didn't matter for Nyla Rose as she hit Shida with the Beast Bomb and pinned her.

Nyla Rose took out a table and set it up and placed Shida on it. But this backfired for the champ. As Rose got on the turnbuckle, Statlander and Shida were on her. Shida went on to Superplex her through the table.
Matt Hardy vs Sammy Guevara in the AEW Dynamite main event
Matt Hardy was out looking for revenge after The Inner Circle's actions last week on Dynamite where they destroyed Vanguard 1. Matt Hardy was all over Sammy Guevara as the match began and for its early stages, including Hardy smashing Guevara into the ring post.
As the match went on, Guevara found an opening and the action spilled out to ringside again as Sammy Guevara sent Hardy crashing into the barricade before taking his turn to smash Hardy into the ring post. Back in the ring, Guevara continued to dominate.
Matt Hardy took back control of the match as we came back from an ad break, sending Sammy headfirst into the turnbuckle repeatedly. Guevara replied with a series of stiff kicks including a nasty superkick right to the jaw.
Hardy hit back with a Twist of Fate but Guevara kicked out at the last second. He focused his attention on Guevara's leg, taking off his boot and biting him. Guevara replied with a springboard cutter from the top rope for another nearfall. Matt Hardy followed this up with a second Twist of Fate to finally pin Sammy Guevara.

Chris Jerico showed up on the big screen after this and we saw the Inner Circle attacking Kenny Omega with a steel chair. The Young Bucks made their return to AEW Dynamite and evened the odds. However, the numbers game seemed to be too much for them to handle. Just in time, Hangman Page made his long-awaited return to AEW Dynamite, joining in the fight against The Inner Circle
