AEW Dynamite Title Tuesday live results: Danielson & Yuta vs. Castagnoli & PAC

AEW Dynamite Title Tuesday airs tonight with a match-up featuring both the AEW World Champion and the Trios Champions.
Bryan Danielson teams with Wheeler Yuta against Claudio Castagnoli and PAC. The remaining remnants of what was the Blackpool Combat Club fractured last month when Jon Moxley, PAC, and Castagnoli turned on Danielson. Yuta has remained conflicted as demonstrated by his teaming with Danielson.
A double title match is also set as NJPW Strong Women’s Champion and TBS Champion Mercedes Mone puts both belts on the line against Emi Sakura.
A shot at Mariah May’s AEW Women’s World Championship is on the line as Britt Baker faces Willow Nightingale with the winner facing May for the title as part of this Saturday’s WrestleDream pay-per-view.
Hologram makes his Dynamite debut tonight against Komander in what is billed as a special attraction while Hook will call out whoever attacked Taz last week. Additionally, Jay White will appear following his return to action last Wednesday.
Tonight’s WrestleDream go-home show kicks off at 9 PM Eastern.
**********
AEW Dynamite Title Tuesday comes on the air with Jon Moxley saying no one wants the blood of the legendary Bryan Danielson on their hands, despite Danielson trying to kamikaze himself. The way things have worked out, it has to be Moxley who gives a wakeup call to AEW. You don’t get to pick the day, everyone living in their fake world, Saturday night, they’ll see the truth. Moxley brings up the dark side of Danielson, which is a beautiful thing, as you back the Dragon into a corner, it becomes something truly terrifying. Danielson has never been comfortable with that part of himself, but as his world closes in around him, he will embrace his dark side. Moxley will be ready, he doesn’t have a choice. There aren’t enough people in the state of Washington to stop him on Saturday. What Moxley stands for is too powerful, whom shall we fear? Moxley will run into the mouth of war, so run while you have a chance, as he only hopes one day Danielson will understand. It has to be this way; the stakes are too high.
We then go to Bryan Danielson backstage earlier today bringing up Claudio Castagnoli telling Sports Illustrated earlier today that tonight is his last Dynamite. Danielson said he & Yuta will run through Castagnoli & PAC tonight. He’s been a supporter of Castagnoli in every company they’ve worked in, but tonight, there will be no support, as in Spokane, he will kick his F’n head in.
Darby Allin & Brody King Face to Face
Excalibur welcomes us alongside Tony Schiavone & Jeff Jarrett as Darby Allin makes his way to the ring. Allin called out Brody King to get his ass to the ring after King answered Allin’s challenge for WrestleDream. King walks out and we get highlights of the history between both men. Allin said he was so excited King answered his challenge, but he could’ve asked nicely. Allin brought up working the indies with King, staying in crackhead motels and how King didn’t know how his career would end up with a kid on the way. He recalls King being under a ROH contract at the time, prior to Tony Khan buying it and it was Allin who got King into AEW. Thanks to AEW, both of them helped their fathers retire, but the issue is, King wants Allin’s spot and Allin is the face of AEW, despite not expecting to make it.
Allin said he’s the one who does promotional work, the talk shows, but King interrupted and said he was right. King said what happens when Allin climbs Mount Everest? His dad will have to get a job again, but ultimately Allin needs someone to save him from himself. Allin screamed and sat in the corner, begging to start the fight now and King to hit the cannonball, but King told him to get up. Allin stood up and slapped King in the face and was promptly laid out. King went for a choke, but Allin had a rock in his jacket and blasted King in the face with it, busting King opened. Security ran down and stepped between, as King was the first to retreat.
-Renee Paquette is backstage with Lance Archer & Jake Roberts, as she brings up Don Callis wanting to recruit Archer, as Callis walks in, saying it’s an exciting day in AEW, as he & Roberts have done the first talent exchange. Lance Archer is officially part of the Don Callis family, as Archer shook hands with Callis, who refused to answer Paquette’s question about Will Ospreay, walking off with Archer, who gave one last handshake to Roberts before leaving. Paquette asks who Roberts got in return and he asked if she likes surprises, because so does he.
**********
Daniel Garcia walks into the arena backstage and is approached by Renee Paquette, asking about his whereabouts since this was the first time being seen since All Out. Garcia said he wants to give her an answer, but owes it to the fans to give an explanation.
Hologram defeated Komander
(The crowd was really into this match from the start and gave it multiple This Is Awesome chants. Despite some spots being off, these two adjusted very quickly and got back on track to have a really flashy high-flying battle. I hope we eventually get a Hologram title shot down the line for any champion, as he has one of, it not the, longest winning streak in AEW at the moment.)
Commentary really put over the 13-0 winning streak that Hologram has compiled mainly on Collision, as this is his Dynamite debut. Quick series of takedowns in the early going, as both trade arm drags and monkey flips landing on their feet before a stalemate that had the crowd going. Test of strength led to a pop-up back flip off the chest of Komander, as a déjà vu sent Komander outside, where Hologram darted himself, connecting on a tope. Back inside, a flapjack and high kick got a quick two, as both trade submission counters before Hologram turned things into a snap suplex to get control into commercial.
When things returned, Komander flipped out of a drop down, did a wild somersault springboard series into a hurricanrana that sent Hologram outside. Komander sprung over the top with a dive before going back inside, trying another springboard, but Hologram met him in the corner with a reverse Spanish Fly for the reset. Hologram went for a 450, but Komander got the knees up. With Hologram back outside, Komander tried his rope walk dive, but Hologram sprung up, tried a mid-air hurricanrana, only for Komander to counter into a powerbomb. Both men slowly up and slugging it out, as it turns to kicks before Hologram tried a backflip into a slam, only for Komander to spike him into a Poison Rana. Komander wanted a follow up, but Hologram popped up with a Poison Rana of his own. Komander tried a springboard Poison Rana, but Hologram caught him into a wild airplane spin into a sit-out slam for the victory.
Jake Roberts walked to the stage post-match as Rush, Beast Mortos & Dralistico ran in and attacked Holorgam & Komander, tossing them to the outside. They gave the Los Faccion Ingobernables pose, as Mortos was reluctant at first, but did it, as did Roberts on stage. So, I guess Roberts is the manager of LFI, which is something I legit never saw coming.
-Lexy Nair is backstage with Mark Briscoe, who said last week, Chris Jericho didn’t have to take it where he did. At WrestleDream, it doesn’t even have to be about the ROH Title, he’s going to hurt Jericho.
Daniel Garcia Remains All Elite
Garcia comes to the ring and said it’s great to feel the energy of the crowd, as he’s missed this after sitting at home for a while. Garcia thanks Tony Khan for giving him this time, as when you’re sitting at home, you question what’s best for your life, despite it not being the easiest or best answer. Garcia never wanted to be a guy who didn’t follow through on his word, but felt it was important to look everyone in the eye to let them know what he’s going to do. Garcia came to the conclusion he can do whatever he wants, as he’s one of the best wrestlers in the world. Because he’s one of the best, it’s only right that he stays where the best wrestle, AEW.
The Daniel Garcia staying in AEW isn’t the same as before, he’s no longer the little bro who complains after every loss, he’s the one who you can build a foundation on and puts gold around his waist. The champions of AEW are no longer safe, the feeling is restored.
-Footage of Swerve Strickland training with EJ Nduka is shown, as it’s cut with footage of MVP calling out Strickland’s recent failures on his management, telling Prince Nana he’s ready whenever Strickland wants to talk business. We then see MVP & Shelton Benjamin backstage watching, as we’re told Swerve Strickland will be at WrestleDream.
**********
-Renee Paquette tried her best to introduce Mercedes Mone in the way Mone does, but she’s annoyed. Mone brings up everyone having an issue with her on Twitter and takes a shot at Kris Statlander. Mone mentions Emi Sakura wrestling longer than Mone has been alive and says money changes everything.
-Daniel Garcia is walking backstage and is congratulated by Isiah Kassidy, Anna Jay, Kyle O’Reilly, Orange Cassidy & Colt Cabana when Katsuyori Shibata walks up and through his phone tells Garcia he’ll be the next TNT Champion. They both shake hands and Shibata pretty much granted Garcia a title shot if he wins.
Willow Nightingale defeated Saraya (w/Harley Cameron), Nyla Rose & Jamie Hayter to earn an AEW Women’s Title shot at WrestleDream
(This was a chaotic match, as Nightingale made the most sense to take this match after her prior interactions with the AEW Women’s Champion. While there were a few other big spots, I think the return of Penelope Ford was almost an afterthought unfortunately, as her moment was quickly overshadowed by the table spot to end the match. It does appear The Outcasts have a new member and someone else for Jamie Hayter to fight prior to getting back into the title picture, whether it be for the Women’s or TBS gold.)
Mariah May joins commentary for this one, as we’re told Dr. Britt Baker fell ill and wasn’t able to travel. May asks if Baker fell on a tongue scraper or gave herself a root canal? Bell sounds and Saraya immediately bails, as Rose showed off her power, slamming Nightingale, as Hayter quickly took the fight to Rose. After attempting a superplex on Hayter, Nightingale almost cut off Rose with a powerbomb, but Rose countered into a hurricanrana. Hayter & Nightingale was about to face-off, when Cameron & Saraya attacked from behind, as there’s no DQ’s with it being a 4-way. The brawl went outside, where Rose flew in out of frame to wipe everyone out. At one point Cameron punched Hayter right in the face, which got a big reaction from Tony Schiavone and May asked if he needed a mint or Blue Chew, which was hysterical.
Back from break, Hayter avoided a Doctor Bomb from Nightingale and hit a Hayt-Breaker, as Saraya ran in with a thrust kick, but was mowed down by a Rose clothesline. Nightingale was up and flattened Rose with a spinebuster, as everyone is down. Commentary brings up a table set up ringside, as May said she wants her celebration at WrestleDream with Mina Shirakawa, something she was robbed of. She’s been following Shirakawa and said Timeless Toni Storm is dead. Hayter somehow hit a double suplex onto Rose & Nightingale at the same time, as Saraya tried a chair shot, but was cut off and clocked with the chair by Hayter instead. Cameron tried to intervene again, but was dispatched by Hayter. Penelope Ford ran out with a chair and smacked Hayter in the back, as the chance was on to the back.
The crowd chanted for tables as Rose hit a neckbreaker on Saraya before going up top, only for Cameron to shove her off and Rose went splat on the edge of the ring. Cameron had a heck of a time trying to slide the table into the ring, as Saraya hit Nightingale with the Good Knight before finally the table was set up in the corner. Miscommunication from Saraya & Cameron, who was hit with a Nightingale Doctor Bomb, while Saraya was driven through the table with a DVD, as Nightingale stacked both Outcasts and got the pin.
Nightingale celebrated up the ramp where May was waiting and tried a slap, but Nightingale caught her. May fired off a headbutt before whipping Nightingale with the AEW Women’s Title, standing tall.
-The Learning Tree are backstage as Big Bill said the people who need help the most are ones that want them the least. They all approach Rocky Romero, as Jericho said it’s time for learning and for Romero to learn his self-worth. Jericho brings up The Conglomeration inviting Romero to join them months after they were already a group, just to take care of Smart Mark Sterling, which Jericho said is the lowest spot possible in AEW. Jericho questions if Romero wants to be a lacky his whole career and Romero said he’s no man’s lacky. Jericho said he’ll become ROH Champion this Saturday and thanks Romero for his time. Keith told Romero to listen to Jericho, or else.
Switchblade Jay White (w/Juice Robinson) defeated Cody Chhun
White’s first match since July, as he fired off chops on Chhun early, driving shoulders to the midsection. Chhun managed a Manhattan Drop and leg lariat, as he hit a float over into a DDT for one. White responded with a wild lariat and corner strikes before a half suplex sent Chhun to the corner. A huge Uranage spiked Chhun, which led to a Blade Runner for the win.
Post match, White to the microphone and told Hangman Adam Page he’s one of two men who knocked him off his path to the AEW World Championship. Meaning Page is one of two wrongs that White must right and asks what Page is going to do about it? White imagines that Page will come around guns blazing, veins popping out of his head, as it’s perfect, it’s what White wants, he wants Hangman vs. Switchblade once more. When White wins, he’ll move onto correcting wrong number two and move onto the gold. White said it’s funny the same voices who booed and despised him are the same voices who will Switchblade Jay White, AEW World Champion, as it all starts with Hangman this Saturday at WrestleDream.
-HOOK is backstage with a camera crew and said he’s tired of chasing whoever attacked his father. Kip Sabian stumbled into HOOK and said it wasn’t him before walking off. Christian Cage, Nick & Mother Wayne approached and said they’re both family men. Cage said he lost Killswitch to a serious medical situation and gives HOOK condolences on the injury to his father. Cage and company walk off with HOOK fuming.
**********
-Renee Paquette is with Mariah May backstage when Willow Nightingale charged in with a Pounce, sending May flying. Nightingale said she’ll keep this brief, she defeated three former Women’s Champions tonight and come Saturday, she’ll beat another and win the AEW Women’s Title.
Mercedes Mone (w/Kamille) defeated Emi Sakura to retain the TBS & NJPW Strong Women’s Titles
(This was Sakura’s first match in AEW since April, so it took a little bit for the crowd to get behind her, but when she took out both Mone & Kamille outside with a dive, she won them over. I wish the match itself went longer, but it felt like this was the weekly match that suffered from commercial. It just felt like it was getting going before Mone got the submission, which I hope is her permanent finisher going forward and the Mone Maker is shelved for a bit.)
Both ladies took turns backing the other into the corner and firing off chops, as it was Sakura who connected on the machine gun variety. Sakura looked to go for a cover, but Mone kicked out even before one. Both up and collide until Mone scales the corner with an arm drag, only to run into a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker by Sakura. Mone side stepped a corner charge, swept the leg out to the outside, where she hit a Meteora off the steps taking things to commercial.
Back from break, Sakura fired back with chops, but ate a backstabber out of the corner for two. Mone hit the first double knees, tried again, but Sakura moved and Mone flew out to the floor. Sakura zoned in on the legs and hit a splash onto the hung up Mone on the railing. Kamille was driven into the rail as well before splashing both ladies with a charging cross body. Back inside, stalling butterfly backbreaker connected, but Mone rolled to the ropes, clutching to the apron. The ref became distracted placing back the apron, as this allowed Kamille to trip up Sakura, as Mone applied the Statement Maker (former Banks Statement) and got the submission.
Post match, Mone held Sakura for Kamille to attack when Kris Statlander ran out and booted Kamille to the outside as Mone bailed and had to hold back her heater.
-Renee Paquette is backstage with Private Party, as she also brings in Stokely Hathaway, who said he’s been watching the past few weeks and every time they get an opportunity, they knock it out of the park. Hathaway brings up taking out the most loveable person in AEW at All In and imagine what Private Party could do? Hathaway offers a hand, but Quen said it’s another person who jumped on the bandwagon after two weeks and questions where he was at the last five years? They turn Hathaway down, who said he doesn’t believe it’s the right call, but walks away. Quen said they don’t need anyone in their corner, they want this, they need this, they’ll take the Tag Team Titles away from The Young Bucks and then, it’ll be a party everyone is invited to.
Will Ospreay Demands Answers From Don Callis
Tony Schiavone welcomed International Champion Will Ospreay to the ring to a loud ovation and brings up last week with Konosuke Takeshita interfering in his match with Ricochet. Schiavone said this has Don Callis’ fingerprints all over it and Ospreay agrees. Ospreay puts over Ricochet before saying Takeshita doesn’t do anything without Callis giving him the go ahead, so he wants answers from Callis right now.
Don Callis walks out, tries a hug, but Ospreay pushes him off. Callis said he has something important to say to Ospreay, last week was difficult for him emotionally, as he hates to see Ospreay unhappy. Callis brings up when both he & Ospreay beat Kenny Omega or when they beat Chris Jericho. Ospreay said they’re here to talk about last week not last year and wants to know if Callis sent Takeshita. Callis kept dodging the questions before finally giving in saying he made the call out of frustration, as Ospreay wouldn’t listen. Callis had to shown him who made decisions in the Family. Callis brings up two weeks ago for being this close to winning the Tag Titles because Ospreay was mentally weak. Ospreay said he brought Callis the International Title, but if Callis didn’t stick his nose in his business, he would’ve been the AEW World Champion as well.
Ospreay tells Callis he doesn’t know shit. Callis said he had the best wrestler in the world (Kenny Omega), but threw him in the garbage for Ospreay, so maybe he should throw the best in the trash one more time? Ospreay said Callis is everything everyone warned him about, he’s utter scum, they’re done. Callis slapped Ospreay and Ospreay threw down Callis before Takeshita hit the ring and the fight was on. Kyle Fletcher hit the ring, trying to talk sense into Ospreay, but the distraction allowed Takeshita to hit a release German suplex. Callis handed Fletcher the screwdriver, but Fletcher refused. Takeshita tried to talk sense into Fletcher, who stormed off and Ospreay continued to fight with Takeshita until Callis pulled his hair back, holding him long enough for Takeshita to hit a big forearm. Takeshita went for the belt shot when Ricochet ran out with a springboard forearm, as Takeshita & Callis bailed. Ricochet held up the International Title before handing it to Ospreay.
-Top Flight & Action Andretti are backstage, pissed off that they lost on Collision this past week, not wrestling The Young Bucks on Saturday. Andretti tried to scold Top Flight when Leila Grey said it’s all Andretti’s fault, as his actions screwed them. Dante told Darius it’s those things that are going to continue to cost them and left with Leila, leaving Darius conflicted.
**********
-Jack Perry is sitting in the back and said Katsuyori Shibata is considered a legend, the embodiment of fighting spirit who has a turkey leg in his trunks. Perry said Shibata lets his phone do the talking, but wants to speak Shibata’s old language, fighting in the ring. Shibata might deserve to be TNT Champion, but it’s not about what you deserve, it’s what you’re willing to take. This TNT Title means that Perry is the best and for Shibata to come take it from him.
AEW World Champion Bryan Danielson & AEW Trios Champion Wheeler Yuta defeated AEW Trios Champions Claudio Castagnoli & PAC
(Real good main event with the crowd fully behind Danielson & Yuta. The story of Castagnoli holding back as long as he could from striking Yuta, only to finally give in post-match was a nice touch and proved a point that Yuta should’ve joined them to begin with. Danielson getting to stand tall to close the show could be the final time he does so, as commentary really put over the possibility of his career ending on Saturday.)
The Final Countdown played for Danielson & Yuta, as commentary questions the significance, as this could be the last time Danielson wrestles on Dynamite. Danielson took out Castagnoli on the apron with a running knee, as he backflipped out of the corner to avoid PAC, hit a suicide dive on Castagnoli before Yuta flew in with a top rope dropkick on PAC. Both Danielson & Yuta hit double dives before back inside, Danielson applied a surfboard, as fast tags from he & Yuta kept PAC in the corner. PAC went for the eyes, as this allowed Castagnoli to make the tag and go after Danielson, isolating him. Yuta managed a tag and ran wild, as a snap German on PAC got a near fall, but Yuta held on into Cattle Mutilation. Castagnoli broke the hold, pulling Yuta up, as Yuta slapped him, but Castagnoli held back from throwing a punch. Danielson ran in with an attack, tried another dive, but Castagnoli caught him in mid-air and hit a Neutralizer as PAC fired a thrust kick on Yuta to take over during commercial.
Back from break, Castagnoli tried his best to keep Yuta grounded without throwing strikes, as Yuta tried a tag, but Danielson was still down outside, allowing Castagnoli to hit a release German on Yuta. PAC made sure Danielson was still down at the ramp, but the delay allowed Yuta to hit a thrust kick off a springboard for the reset. A frustrated Castagnoli didn’t want to make the hot tag, but knew he had to. Yuta tried to fight off, biting Castagnoli’s hands and hitting a Tornado DDT before Danielson recovered enough as Yuta stumbled to his corner for the hot tag.
Danielson flew off the top with a missile dropkick followed by corner charging dropkicks, kicks and chops. Corner hurricanrana attempt was blocked, as Castagnoli tried an Avalanche Ricola Bomb, but Danielson countered into the hurricanrana. Yes Kicks connect, as Danielson calls to kick Castanoli’s head in, as he stomps down repeatedly until PAC broke it up, looked for a brainbsuter, but Danielson slammed him down by the shoulder. Uppercut to the neck by Castagnoli, who tried another, but Danielson got a backslide for two. Danielson wanted the finish until he spotted Jon Moxley & Marina Shafir ringside, which allowed Castagnoli to hit an uppercut and 450 Splash by PAC for two. Shafir took the ref, as PAC quickly went for the ring attendant hammer, but Yuta disarmed him. Danielson was up and locked PAC in the LeBell Lock and PAC submitted.
Post match, Danielson immediately hit a dive onto Moxley and brawled up the ramp. Castagnoli & Yuta argued on the apron, as PAC kicked Yuta to the floor, where Shafir beat him up. Backstage, the fight continued with Danielson & Moxley, as Danielson threw Moxley into the garage door. Castagnoli, with the hammer in his hand, told Shafir & PAC to hold up Yuta, who he hit in the gut with the hammer repeatedly. Danielson & Moxley brawled back to the ring, as PAC was sent flying and Castagnoli ate the Busiaku Knee, with Moxley sent tumbling up the ramp to Shafir as Danielson stood tall before tending to Yuta, helping him up to end the show right as The Final Countdown was playing.
