The Young Bucks came down to the ring after the match to introduce themselves properly. Before the two teams could get acquainted properly, The Butcher and The Blade attacked again. So did Kip Sabian. FTR and The Bucks drove them away with Kenny Omega and Hangman Page coming out to reinforce the numbers too. A great way to start this week's episode of AEW Dynamite.
AEW Dynamite: Nyla Rose and Penelope Ford vs Hikaru Shida and Kris Statlander
AEW Women's Champion Hikaru Shida and Nyla Rose cleared the ring early but the heels soon took control. Nyla Rose looked dominant and she was all over Statlander. Ford held her own when tagged in and both heels were working brilliantly together until this stage.
Statlander hit back with a boot to the face of Nyla Rose. She managed to tag in Shida who was all over the heels. Shida then unloaded on Penelope Ford. Shida hit the running knee strike at ringside before heading to the top rope. Shida then hit a missile dropkick to Ford before following it up with a vertical suplex for a 2-count.
Things really broke down at this point. Kip Sabian played his part from ringside, pulling Shida by the leg from ringside. With the referee's back turned, Penelope Ford hit Shida with the Women's Championship belt and followed it up with a Fisherman Suplex before pinning the champion to win the match. A big win for Rose and Ford.

AEW Dynamite: Sammy Guevara vs Colt Cabana
Another member of the Inner Circle was in action next on AEW Dynamite with Sammy Guevara in singles action against Colt Cabana.
Colt Cabana, who has a lot more experience inside the ring, started off stronger. He was all over Guevara in the early stages of the match until he was taken out by a dive from Sammy. Guevara was n control through the ad break, with Cabana in a headlock.
Guevara ate an elbow from Cabana and then a splash in the corner. Cabana went for the cover and only got a nearfall. Cabana then had Guevara where he wanted him on the top rope. Cabana went for the reverse Chicago Skyline but failed to hit it.
Guevara took advantage of the situation and took advantage to nail Cabana with his finisher to win the match.

The Dark Order came out after the match to greet Colt Cabana. As they made their way out, it looked like Cabana was following them. Matt Hardy then came out to chase Sammy Guevara out of the arena.
After the ad break, we saw Colt Cabana enter Brodie Lee's office.
AEW World Champion Jon Moxley was being interviewed in the parking lot. He called out Tazz and Brian Cage. Tazz came out to confront Moxley and Cage assaulted him from behind, laying out the champion.
AEW Dynamite: Cody (C) vs Marc Quen (for the AEW TNT Championship)
Both men went back and forth as the match began. The AEW TNT Champion Cody locked in a Dragon Sleeper pretty early into the match before driving Quen out to ringside and working on his ankle. Back in the ring, Quen went for a springboard but his leg gave way. Cody continued going after Quen's ankle and knee, driving it into the ring post.
Quen briefly fought back with a kick to the head. He followed it up with a springboard from the middle rope and then a standing moonsault. He followed it up with a corkscrew into a DDT for a nearfall. Quen followed it with a dive over the top ropes but this only hurt his leg more. Quen followed it with a second dive but this only left him in more agony.
Quen then headed to the top rope but Cody rolled out onto the entrance ramp. This didn't deter Quen and he hit a 450 Splash onto the ramp.
Quen headed to the top rope again but Cody countered it with a submission on the injured leg, forcing him to tap out.
