AEW Dynamite live results: Full Gear fallout, Tag Team title match
AEW Dynamite airs live tonight from the Nashville Municipal Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee.
The main event will see SCU defend their AEW Tag Team titles against AEW World Champion Chris Jericho & Sammy Guevara. Both SCU and Jericho retained their respective championships at Full Gear this past weekend. Jericho & Guevara hold a 2-0 record in tag team matches, with wins over Hangman Page & Kenny Omega, as well as Page & Dustin Rhodes.
Also on the show, PAC and Page will continue their series of bouts with what is being advertised as “the rubber match.” Page handed PAC his first AEW singles loss at Full Gear, while PAC defeated Page on the first edition of Dynamite last month.
Jon Moxley will speak out after defeating Kenny Omega in their unsanctioned lights out match at Full Gear. AEW has also teased via their social media channels that MJF will address his turn against Cody, although that has not been officially announced.
Our live coverage begins at 8 p.m. Eastern time.

A Full Gear recap video opened the show. The broadcast team ran down the card for the evening, then threw it to a Kenny Omega video. Omega was seen meeting with a doctor backstage. Omega was not cleared to compete this week. Omega asked how Moxley did. The doctor said Moxley was beat up, but cleared.
JON MOXLEY DEFEATED MICHAEL NAKAZAWA
Total squash. Moxley won in seconds with the Paradigm Shift.
After, Moxley cut a promo. He said he’s many things, but not a liar. He said everything he promised would happen at Full Gear came true. He said differences aside, he respects Omega. He said Omega will never be the same.
He said Omega had the balls to stand up to him, unlike anyone else in AEW. He said he’s on a mission to be the last man standing in AEW. He said if anyone in the locker room wants to step up and face him, make sure to kiss their loved ones goodbye and have an ambulance on speed dial.

CHRIS JERICHO/MJF PROMO

The crowd booed. MJF said they don’t like him, but they don’t realize that if it wasn’t for him, Cody’s career would have ended. He said the people see him as a villain, but they’ve been cheering the true villain all along. That villain is Cody, he said.
MJF said that there’s one person alive who knows the real Cody, and that’s him. He said the real Cody is a liar, a user, an abuser. He said he wanted to mentor MJF, but really, he just wanted to keep him under his thumb. He said you’re looking at the new face of AEW.
MJF then addressed Jericho. He said he’s a fan. He said he heard that Jericho wanted him to join the Inner Circle. Jericho said he heard that MJF might want to join the Inner Circle.
They went back and forth and did some comedy. Jericho said that MJF is a little like him, but really wants to be like him.

Jericho sold this like it was a major defeat. The show went off the air with Jericho throwing a tantrum.
This was easily the weakest episode of Dynamite so far. There were bright spots, like the Jericho/MJF promo segment, but the show as a whole was disjointed and not an easy watch.
