AEW Dynamite live results: Hangman Adam Page vs. Wheeler Yuta

The new AEW World Champion will be in action on tonight’s live Dynamite from Chicago.

In a non-title affair, AEW World Champion Hangman Adam Page will face Wheeler Yuta of The Death Riders in a one-on-one contest on tonight’s episode.

Page defeated Yuta’s Death Riders comrade Jon Moxley for the World title at All In two weeks ago, but the rivalry between Page and the group has not cooled off since. A team captained by Page defeated a team captained by Moxley on last Wednesday’s Dynamite, then The Death Riders retaliated by attacking Page’s friend Colt Cabana as he sat in on commentary on last week’s AEW Collision episode.

A Women’s World title eliminator bout is also on tap for tonight’s show.

AEW Women’s World Champion Toni Storm will face Billie Starkz in a title eliminator bout. Starks in aligned with ROH Women’s World Champion Athena, who holds the right to challenge Storm for the AEW title by way of winning the women’s Casino Gauntlet match at All In.

AEW Dynamite comes on the air with Excalibur telling us Breaking News, as a Tag Team Title Eliminator Tournament is set to start this evening, culminating at Forbidden Door in London on August 24^th. The only teams we know so far will be competing tonight, as FTR takes on JetSpeed.

Renee Paquette approached Hangman Adam Page backstage, asking why he took this match with Wheeler Yuta tonight, despite not being in the best condition after the past few weeks. Page brought up Death Riders attacking his friend Colt Cabana on Collision and wants revenge tonight. MJF walks in and tells Seabiscuit that he will beat Page for the AEW World Title not by using his contract he won at All In. Page said MJF is a child, façade and gutless coward, as he walks off for his match, as MJF looks back angrily.

AEW World Champion Hangman Adam Page vs. Wheeler Yuta

Yuta attacked Page during his entrance and hit a dive before Page quickly gained control as the match officially begin, hitting his springboard lariat to the floor, chucking Yuta into the barricade. Back inside, Page lit Yuta up with chops and a Death Valley Driver for a near fall. Yuta raked the eyes, went to charge, but ran into a huge lariat and Buckshot to give Page the quick and dominating win.

Post match, Page grabbed the chain he used at All In to win the World Title and cracked Yuta with it, delivering punches in bunches, busting Yuta open in the process. Page faked like he was going to hang Yuta after wrapping the chain around his throat, but screamed to Yuta that no one is coming to save him. “He Deserves It” chants from the fans in the Aragon Ballroom, as Page slowly walked off with the chain and AEW Title in tow.

Match Result: Hangman Adam Page defeated Wheeler Yuta

-ROH Women’s Champion Athena is backstage with Billie Starkz, who rattles off her Overlord’s nicknames and said AEW stands for Athena Elite Wrestling. Starkz said she’s going to beat Toni Storm tonight, but Athena corrected her, saying she must take Storm out. Athena holds the pen with all the power and tonight, she could cash in on Storm if she so chooses.

FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler w/Stokely) vs. JetSpeed (Speedball Mike Bailey & Kevin Knight) in an AEW Tag Team Title Eliminator Quarterfinal

(An excellent TV tag match, as the crowd hated FTR & especially Stokely a whole lot and were fully behind JetSpeed. So, the end result only added heat from the fans, until Cope made an appearance and apparently bought the services of The Hurt Syndicate. While we have zero clue as of this writing the other teams in this tournament, I think it’s safe to assume an FTR vs. Hurt Syndicate title match come Forbidden Door is in the cards.)

Stokely came out on crutches, selling the Spear he took from Adam Copeland last week. FTR tried Shatter Machine on Bailey early, but Knight made the save and Bailey nearly got a school boy for two. Thrust Kick/German Suplex combo on Harwood, who still hasn’t taken his ring jacket off, as JetSpeed hit dueling dives, as Bailey came up limping in the process (we got multiple replays). Knife edge chops from Harwood back inside on Bailey, as Taz said it’s a good way to lose an areola and you could hear that chop in Champagne. Harwood wanted a piledriver on the floor, but Bailey hit a backdrop on both FTR members as Bailey leapt for a tag to Knight as things went to commercial.

Back from break, Knight fought off the Power-Plex, as Bailey laid out Wheeler with a top rope hurricanrana. Dueling missile dropkicks from JetSpeed led to a pendulum DDT by Knight on Harwood for two. Knight with a splash on Harwood, at the same time Bailey hit a springboard moonsault outside on Wheeler. Harwood responded with a Dragon Screw in the ropes, zoning in on the leg back inside. Harwood tried to get a fan to high five him, instead flipped them off before sinking in a Figure Four around the post. Problem was, Harwood left himself open for Bailey to light him up with kicks, until Wheeler took out Bailey’s bad leg. More Dragon Screws back inside to Knight as Harwood sank in the Sharpshooter, while Wheeler locked one in on Bailey ringside, but Knight got the ropes. First part of the Power-Plex connected, but Knight got his knees up for a diving Wheeler, allowing Bailey to hit a Shooting Star Press for two.

Things returned from the second break with Bailey hitting a wild corkscrew springboard moonsault right in front of the commentary table. Bailey rolled through a Shooting Star Press attempt back inside, but fired a punt kick to Harwood, followed by a standing Shooting Star Double Knees for a near fall. Machine gun kicks ramped up, as Knight made the tag to hit the Doomsday Elevated Dropkick, but Wheeler broke the count. Wheeler was backdropped clear over the ring attendant’s tables, as Bailey leapt over it onto Wheeler. Back inside, Knight tried the UFO Splash, but Harwood got the knees up, inside cradle, only for Knight to kick out at two. Harwood tried a bounce back powerbomb, but Knight got a roll-up for a near fall. Bailey tried to fly in with a hurricanrana, but Harwood was successful with a bounce back powerbomb. Knight & Harwood traded pin attempts, as Stokley held in his crutch for Harwood to hold on and steal the pin.

Post-match, Tony Schiavone reluctantly came into the ring for an interview about what Adam Copeland did last week. Stokely (who is getting booed out of the building) said Copeland belongs in prison and had no business putting his hands on him last week. Copeland is a loser, a horrible human being and cancer to AEW. Copeland’s music hit and he was going to come to the ring with a mic in hand, but Stokely told him to stop right there and cut his music.

Stokely said last week he made it clear; Copeland is not allowed to be in the vicinity of FTR. Copeland forgot, but said he made a business deal with some gentlemen whose business, is hurting people. The Hurt Syndicate come out and Copeland shook MVP’s hand as Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin hit the ring and the fight is on. Referees hit the ring soon after to try and separate the four, to little success. The Hurt Syndicate stand tall on the ramp, as Copeland tried to hit another Spear on Hathaway, who pulled a security guard in his way to take the bullet. Copeland stared down FTR from the ring, as they slowly retreated

Match Result: FTR defeated JetSpeed to advance when Harwood pinned Knight

-The Patriarchy are backstage saying at All In, they took a big risk, with Nick Wayne said last week, they verbally explained themselves, so on Collision, they’ll prove it physically. They will prove what they are capable of doing when they don’t have to answer to a Patriarch nor being Un-Caged.

**********

-Jon Moxley is backstage with Marina Shafir and said Hangman Page fought the fight of his life at All In, digging deep down to find something he never knew was there. Moxley said it was good, get up and do it again tomorrow and the next day. Moxley admits he lost, but no reason to be a bitch about it, so why avoid a rematch, as the credits don’t role, the cowboy won’t ride off into the sunset. Moxley asks a lot from the people around him, but even more of himself. A mistake was made, but it’s nothing that can’t be fixed. By the end of tonight, we will find out who the Hangman Page was who rode out of All In.

Will Ospreay Addresses His Health

Tony Schiavone introduced Ospreay to the ring and brought up All In and hit incredible tag team match, but also what the Death Riders did to him in the main event. Ospreay said Tony Khan had no idea he was showing up today, as he flew himself over from London and asked for 5 minutes. Ospreay said he’s been struggling with his neck for 10 months and said he never told medical, as he wanted to make sure AEW got over the finish line at All In. Ospreay made promises to Swerve Strickland, to the fans, he would do his part in bringing back the AEW World Championship and is proud to say it happened. Ospreay said what the Death Riders did to him at All In, he was rushed to the hospital and learned there’s herniated disks that went into his spinal column, but it is treatable. With therapy and treatment, fingers crossed, he should be back by Forbidden Door. Ospreay thanks Swerve Strickland for everything he’s done for him, as it was a honor fighting by his side. The moment he’s feeling healthy, it’s an eye for an eye in regards to the Death Riders. As Ospreay made his way up the ramp, Swerve Strickland met him with a hug.

-Video package of the new trio in the AEW Women’s Division of Thekla, Julia Hart & Skye Blue. It’s only a sin to resist, they aren’t friends or sisters, they have one bond and you’ll feel it’s effects. They have one goal, to infect the entire women’s division. The Hart Always Wins and the last thing you see will be us three.

Renee Paquette is backstage with Willow Nightingale, who said she’s spent so much time feuding with Death Riders & Kris Statlander, but there’s a lot of good going on in AEW, like a New AEW World Champion and lots of new girls on the roster, like Thekla. Nightingale said spidey can find her in the ring.

**********

-Renee Paquette is back in the locker room with The Hurt Syndicate, asking how that partnership with Cope came about? MJF walks in, demanding to know what is going on, as he could’ve used them earlier in his run in with Hangman Page and said it took him forever to get into The Hurt Syndicate and Cope can just walk in? MVP told him they’re in the business of hurting people.

MJF said that’s cute, but how about getting in the business of getting his damn title back? MVP asked Paquette to leave, as Lashley slammed MJF against the lockers by the throat saying they don’t owe him sh*t, as they are not his lackeys. Lashley gave a thumbs down, saying he doesn’t want him in the group and walks off, as Benjamin shakes his head and walks off with MVP, leaving MJF furious and alone.

AEW Women’s Champion Timeless Toni Storm vs. Billie Starkz in a Title Eliminator

(Very solid back and forth battle, as the few times we’ve gotten a chance to see Starkz on Dynamite, she’s delivered. I’d love her for her & Athena to be featured more on AEW TV and especially Dynamite if I’m being biased. The concept of Athena teasing cash-ins has been done by almost everyone, but it’ll be interesting to see how Storm can continue to dodge them, as this time she was lucky for the assist from Alex Windsor, as I wouldn’t be surprised if a tag match happens in the future.)

Athena was watching from the balcony, as her minion fired off forearms in bunches to start, looking to Athena for approval. The brief distraction allowed Storm to get a series of near falls before both traded side headlocks until a misdirection snap dropkick by Storm leading to a back breaker. The first monkey flip worked, but the second saw Starkz put on the brakes and get a few chops in before sweeping the leg on the apron and hitting a low Tope. Running senton on the spine, as Starkz stayed in control back inside heading into commercial.

Back from break, Mongolian Chops from Storm led to a Thesz Press got the crowd amped up for Storm’s comeback. Starkz threw an enzugiri, but ran into a huge sit-out choke bomb for two. Starkz avoided the TCM Chicken Wing, got a face buster and neckbreaker over the knee for a near fall of her own. Storm tried a backslide, but turned it into a Fisherman’s Suplex for two, but Starkz was up first to fire off a pump kick. Storm rolled through a Sugoi Driver attempt and connected with Sweet Cheek Music, looked for Storm Zero, but Starkz got a roll-up for two. Rebound enzugiri from Starkz, who wanted her Swanton Bomb, but Storm got the knees up and sank in the TCM Chicken Wing for the submission.

Post-match, Storm posed for the crowd, not realizing Starkz was behind her to clock her with the AEW Women’s Title. Starkz yelled to Athena to come to the ring to cash in her contract, as referee Aubrey got into it with Starkz, leading to Starkz tossing Aubrey from the ring. Athena came in and decked Storm with the contract case, hit a double knees against the steps before another case shot back inside. Starkz threw Aubrey into the ring and was about to sign the contract when Alex Windsor hit the ring and made the save. Windsor took out Athena with a headbutt and discus lariat to Starkz, as both the Overlord and her Minion retreated.

Match Result: Timeless Toni Storm defeated Billie Starkz

Swerve Strickland (w/Prince Nana) vs. Hechicero (w/Don Callis)

(I was curious when this match was announced earlier today how both would be kept looking strong, as neither should be taking losses, especially if Strickland is targeting the Unified Title and Hechicero the ROH Title. They got around it after a very good match, as having Callis on commentary only adds to Hechicero’s presentation, as he’s the perfect loud mouthed manager who thinks he’s speaking the right Spanish, but is completely off when doing so.)

Callis cut off Justin Roberts from introducing his client so that he can do it himself, saying Hechicero is the greatest luchador in the great country of Mexico. “Better than El Santo, Mil Mascaras & Bandido, Yo Soy Hechicero!” Excalibur then informed us Calls just said “I Am, Hechicero” as Taz was bummed Callis didn’t lose blood pressure in his head after that introduction. Callis joined commentary and called himself Bilingual Jones, which popped Taz. Callis said Hechicero is a killer who’s not worried about social media followers like Strickland is.

Hechicero picked the leg of Strickland and had a scramble, which led to an early stalemate. Strickland sank in an abdominal stretch, but Hechicero got a rope break. Chop battle led to a series of reversal until Hechicero hit the Mad Scientist Bomb before Strickland responded with a tilt a whirl back breaker and rolling suplex as things went to picture in picture.

Back from break, a slugfest ensued until Hechciero hit a step-up pump knee and slam for a one count, as Strickland popped right up, daring Hechicero to keep it up. Headbutt cracked Hechicero, as Strickland connected on his corner uppercut before hitting the Griddy and mocking Hechicero’s magician pose. High roundhouse kick connected, as Strickland went up top and hit a 450 Splash for two. Hechicero rolled through a suplex and popped up Strickland into a cross-arm breaker into a La Magistral (Callis called it a Magic Strall) for another near fall. Strickland kicked free and managed a rolling Flatliner, as he went up top again, but Lance Archer hit the ring with Josh Alexander to shove Strickland off the top rope, leading to the disqualification.

Brody King & Bandido hit the ring to make the save in the post-match, as they brawled to the back with Archer & Hechicero. Kazuchika Okada appeared and waffled Strickland with a chair from behind with a big smile on his face while Callis cackled. Okada wanted a Tombstone on the chair, but Strickland escaped and fired off an uppercut headbutt. Strickland wanted to Pillmanize Okada’s neck using a House Call, but Okada escaped just in time with Callis & Alexander.

Match Result: Swerve Strickland defeated Hechicero via disqualification

-Footage of Collision last weekend of Ricochet beating AR Fox and The Gates of Agony winning the $200,000 four-way tag match. Alicia Atout is then backstage with Ricochet and G.O.A. as Ricochet said maybe people are listening now. Ricochet they are taking their $200,000 and investing it in their futures. You will respect us or fear us, that’s not a request, that’s a demand. Ricochet did his cackle before being amazed at how good he looks.

MJF & Mark Briscoe Back & Forth

Coming to the ring with his World Title contract case in hand, MJF said he doesn’t need Bobby Lashley to get back his World Championship, he doesn’t need, Bob. As far as Hangman Page goes, he’s a hypocrite, as MJF will beat Page in the ring fair and square, as he doesn’t need the contract, that World Title will be back around his waist. (I should point out; there was zero mention of MJF being in Happy Gilmore 2 as Adam Sandler’s son. Feels like a big missed opportunity there to promote that.)

Mark Briscoe’s music hit and he walked out with mic in hand. Briscoe said much like MJF’s kosher pickle, he’ll keep this short. Briscoe said MJF stole that Casino Gauntlet win from him at All In, as he wants him in the ring next week in Chicago. MJF simply said, no, as he mocked Briscoe saying if he was supposed to win the Gauntlet, he would’ve but he always chokes when the pressure is on. MJF is a generational talent, the most complete pro wrestler in the world today and from the bottom of his heart, Briscoe sucks as does everyone from the M-M-Mid-West. MJF isn’t stupid, he knows everyone loves Mark Briscoe and knows why, Briscoe has a missing tooth, wonky eye, Southern accent that makes everyone warm and fuzzy. But not even Briscoe’s biggest fans think he’s a top guy or anywhere near MJF’s level. MJF said Briscoe is the circus clown they parade around for cheap laughs and pops. The fans don’t respect him and knew a guy from Delaware that the fans did appreciate, that guy would’ve been worth his time. How depressing it must be for Briscoe to wake up every morning looking his family and friends in the eye knowing they respected his brother Jay more. Briscoe hit the ring and MJF ran for his life before going to the back.

Claudio Castagnoli’s music hit and he had a visually impressive entrance as he rose up from the stairway of the Aragon Ballroom before walking through the crowd to the ring.

Claudio Castagnoli vs. Mark Briscoe

(Just a hard-hitting main event with both competitors beating the living crap out of one another, so, exactly what you’d expect in a match involving these two. Briscoe gets a main event victory on Dynamite and I’m glad they’re giving him wins, especially with his feud with MJF being far from over. The post-match sets the stage for yet another round with Page & Moxley, only thing different this time, it’s Moxley as challenger and fighting to win back his title.)

Stiff chop/uppercut battle right as the bell sounded, as Briscoe won the exchange briefly before Castagnoli responded with a boots in the corner. Briscoe blocked a corner charge, as they traded overhand chops on the apron until Briscoe went for the eyes and pulled Castagnoli to the floor. Castagnoli avoided the baseball slide, catching an incoming Briscoe with a Giant Swing into the barricade as things went to commercial.

(As Excalibur went over the card for Collision, he mentioned Colten Gunn injuring his leg last week during the 4-way tag match and they won’t be in the Tag Title Eliminator Tournament. You have to feel for Colten, as the Bang Bang Gang continue to be bitten big time by the injury bug over the last year.)

Back from break, both men were fighting on the top rope, as Briscoe hit a wildly loud chop, but as he dove off the top, Castagnoli met him with a huge uppercut. We then see Darby Allin slowly emerge in the crowd, momentarily distracting Castagnoli, as Briscoe took the chance to fire up. Enzugiri staggered Castagnoli, allowing a Briscoe Exploder for two. Castagnoli was booted outsider, where Briscoe followed with a somersault Tope and Cactus Elbow off the announce table. Running Blockbuster off the barricade by Briscoe, as Castagnoli rolled back inside, where Briscoe met him with a Froggy Bow for two. Briscoe wanted a Jay Driller, but Castagnoli backed him up in the corner, only for Briscoe to fire off an uppercut chop. Castagnoli raked the eyes and crotched Briscoe on the top before delivering an Avalanche Bodyslam for two. Anvil elbows led to a Neutralizer attempt, but Briscoe avoided, only ref Bryce stepped between the two, with Castagnoli getting an eye poke and charging uppercut for two. Neutralizer second attempt was countered into an inside cradle, as Briscoe got the flash pin.

Post-match, Marina Shafir hit the ring for a chop block, as Jon Moxley joined with Wheeler Yuta. Castagnoli slammed Briscoe midsection first on a set-up chair, as Moxley said Page isn’t World Champion yet, as they just want to make sure everyone isn’t getting too comfortable. Hangman Page power walked to the ring and said when Moxley said Page didn’t want Texas Death, they both know that wasn’t true. When Moxley said Page wouldn’t do it again and again, he might believe that, so Page will prove it to him. Next week, Hangman vs. Mox for the World Championship, but this time, Moxley is the challenger, so he’ll play by Page’s rules. Everyone but a referee banned from ringside. Page already knows Moxley’s answer is yes, so he’ll see you next week, dumbass. Page power walked back to the stage, as the graphic is shown, it’s official for next week.

Match Result: Mark Briscoe defeated Claudio Castagnoli
