AEW Dynamite

Last night's AEW Dynamite kicked off with a bang - almost literally - as Jon Moxley smashed the record for the quickest ever victory in AEW by defeating Alex Reynolds in 14 seconds to kick off the show, before Chris Jericho would interrupt his celebration, flanked by the Inner Circle. Jericho would offer Moxley a t-shirt, and a place in the group.

Next up was the much anticipated in-ring debut of Butcher and The Blade, who took on Cody and QT Marshall. While it was cool to see the former debut, this match wasn't a classic by any means, and the best part was undoubtedly the Cody Rhodes and Darby Allin interaction to end the match. Big Swole would make her dynamite debut, and do so in incredibly impressive fashion, getting an emphatic win over Emi Sakura. Yet again, this match wasn't a five-star encounter by any means, but Big Swole showed glimpses of a major star in the making.

Kenny Omega and Hangman Adam Page would take on Shawn Spears and Kip Sabian. This match was incredibly entertaining, but the real story came as the lights went out and Joey Janela stood over a tied up Tully Blanchard - and yet again, Kenny Omega showed just why he's one of the best wrestlers in the world. MJF would also cut an insanely good promo, thus keeping up AEW's reputation of having amazingly passionate promos.

Fan-favorite Luchasaurus would defeat Sammy Guevara in an entertaining encounter which saw Chris Jericho and Jake Hager remove Excalibur and Tony Schiavone from commentary, taking over themselves before rushing the ring. Arguably the pop of the night came as Jungle Boy pinned Jericho while Marko Stunt counted the three - perhaps foreshadowing next week's match.

Meanwhile, AEW would announce Revolution - their next pay-per-view taking place on February 29th at Chicago's Wintrust Arena.

The undoubted match of the night was the main event. The Young Bucks defeated Proud and Powerful in a 20-minute long Texas Street Fight that saw one Buck being stuck in a bin, while the other used a Dallas Cowboys hat to get the better of Santana and Ortiz - with the AEW EVPs taking home the win and booking their ticket to a Tag Team Championship shot next week.
