AEW Dynamite 10/23/2024

AEW Dynamite 10/23/2024

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2024/10/aew-dynamite-10162024.html

e get videos of the New BCC and see some of the things they have done. Mox talks at a desert but it's hard to hear. He says a piece of someone will be destroyed forever for their own good and the greater good. Mox then leaves in a pick-up with his crew.

Various AEW faces are waiting in the parking lot for the BCC. Jay Lethal's crew is there too.

Tony Schiavone is in the ring and brings out Adam Page. Page says he took Jay White's head off last week and nearly took Juice Robinson's life. He said he knocked out Austin Gunn weeks ago too. Colten Gunn then nails Page from behind.

Gunn lariats him on the floor. Gunn dives over the timekeepers rail and misses Page. Page bangs Gunn's head off the apron. He grabs his belt. Juice and Jay come out. Jay gets some shots in and Page limps out. Jay asks where Page is going. He says he can hobble away but he can't hide. He says he always has his number and would be 5-0 against him if it wasn't for Christian. He says Page will never be able to measure up to him when the bell rings but he knows he hasn't seen the last of him. He says Page hasn't seen the last of him either and does the Gunn's Up line.

Sammy Guevara does a video and says he needs to go against the best and that's Shelton Benjamin. Shelton and MVP says they aren't here to make friends, but to crack heads and make money. MVP says they are merchants of misery. They say they are here to takeover. They said they did it before and will do it again.

Sammy Guevara vs Shelton Benjamin

SB knees him then throws him overhead. Sammy is thrown into the buckles hard. They trade forearms. SB suplexes him. Sammy flips over him and corkscrew dropkicks him. Sammy top rope moonsaults him outside. Sammy is caught on a tope and takes a belly to belly on the ramp.

We go to PiP break and return. Shelton germans him. Sammy hits superkicks. Sammy flying knees him off the apron. Sammy corkscrew dives SB outside. Sammy springboards and is caught. Sammy flips out of a german. SB pops him up and Sammy cutters him.

MVP tells SB to stop playing with his food. Sammy springboards and takes a superkick. SB superkicks him. SB step up knees him then does an exploder into a slam for the win.

Thoughts: I wasn't a fan of this. This was an indy style match with most of the moves being flips or jumps off the top rope. Shelton won as expected and it took him a lot longer to do it than it should have.

Renee tries to interview Mariah May. She opens a suitcase and throws it. She says Anna Jay doesn't belong in the ring or the locker room with her. Anna goes after her and Christopher Daniels interrupts.

We get a video on the history of Will Ospreay and Kyle Fletcher.

Tony Schiavone is in the ring and tells us Kyle Fletcher has something to say. Kyle and Don Callis come out. Kyle says you can boo him all you want. He says he's here to talk to Will Ospreay. Kyle says Will's wondering what Kyle why like the rest of the people. He says it makes him happy. He says the fans are just as much to blame as Will is. He says he was told he was the next best thing and has the brightest future in pro wrestling when he came to AEW, then Will got here. He says he was then called the next Will Ospreay.

Kyle says he was told he looked, wrestled and sounded like Will. He says he took all of those comparisons as an insult. He says he's bigger, stronger, faster and better than him in every single way. 

He says Will was told he will never fill Kenny Omega's shoes and then stabbed him with a screwdriver and hit him with a tiger driver. He said he knew what he had to do to get out of his shadow as that's the lesson he taught Will. He says Will never wanted him to surpass him or acheive his full potential. He tells him to face him next week and ignore the doctor's orders. He says he will injure him and dump his carcass. He says he can be nothing like Will to take the compnay further than it has ever seen before.

Don Callis gives Kyle hair clippers. Kyle says he is nothing like him and shaves his head. He says he is nothing like him.

Thoughts
: Well that's a weird angle. Kyle was starting to look too good so someone in the back probable told him to cut it out. He's going to look silly with short hair. This would have been better if it weren't for the haircut. I don't know why they wouldn't do a hair match out of this instead of getting nothing out of the haircut. 

We see clips of Konosuke Takeshita wrestling at the 2nd night of Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling's debut event. We see Takeshit beating up Josh Alexander after the match and see Ricochet going after Takeshita.

Ricochet is interviewed. He says he said he would go anywhere to get his hands on Takeshita and did. He says he's calling out Takeshita or anyone else to show up on Rampage so he can prove he's not from here, he's out of this world. He says payback's a b!tch. MVP and Shelton come in. MVP says they have a history together and tell him let's start off fresh. He then gives him his card.

Brian Cage and Lance Archer vs Hunter Grey and Paul Titan

I can't remember who the jobbers are but they are the vikings who were on Dark and Impact recently.. Lance beats up one of his opponents and hits a forearm flurry. Lance takes a corner lariat then Cage hits a spinebuster. A jobber takes a facekick into a german. The one jobber then takes a powerbomb + chokeslam combo and is pinned.

Thoughts: It was a quick squash. They never announced who the jobbers were. It was a quick squash and of course big guys were used for jobber duty here instead of smaller guys. It's better than not seeing Grey and Titan though I guess. I wish AEW or someone would sign them.

Various AEW wrestlers are still waiting for The BCC to arrive. Chuck Taylor comes out, and is dressed up like an agent. He says he's known OC for 20 years. He says OC has beat The BCC before and can do it and needs to step up.

ROH Title - Ladder War - Mark Briscoe (c) vs Chris Jericho

Mark throws a ladder in at CJ and runs him over. CJ's head is banged off the buckles. Mark shoulders CJ off the apron through 2 tables side by side. Mark hits punches to the head and forearms. Mark chops him outside then takes a suplex on the floor. CJ hits Mark with a piece of a table.

Mark pounds on CJ outside and tries to dive on him against a ladder but just ends up going through the ladder himself. Mark is thrown into a ladder then has the top of one rammed into his head. Mark is busted open.

We go to PiP break and return. CJ is climbing the ladder and Mark stops him. Mark death valley drivers him into a ladder. In the corner, Makr is on a buckle and CJ is on a ladder. Mark pushes the ladder over and top rope flip dives him. Mark grabs a table and CJ climbs the ladder.

They fight on top of a ladder. Mark's head is banged off of it and he falls down. He no sells it and pushes the ladder over. They trade forearms. CJ is put on a table. Mark climbs the ladder then Bryan Keith climbs up it. Rocky Romero comes down and hits Bryan with a kendo stick. Mark elbow drops him off the ladder through the table, hitting his own head off the belt. Mark hits a jay driller on CJ.

Mark climbs the ladder again. Big Bill grabs him then chokeslams him through tables outside. Big Bill puts CJ on his shoulders and climbs. CJ grabs the title and wins.

Thoughts: It was a ladder match with Mark taking some big bumps here. There were a lot of big spots as usual and interference from The Learning Tree. It was fine and they did what they could with it but I'm really over ladder matches. I expected Jericho to win because there wasn't a point to this otherwise.

Tomohiro Ishii of all people comes out after with Rocky Romero.

We get a video on Kris Statlander vs Kamille.

Adam Cole comes out. The Undisputed Kingdom then follow him out. Strong says they know who Max really is. They say MJF used Cole. Strong says MJF didn't check on him once while he was injured but they did. Bennett says they started this together and will finish it together. Taven said they said yes to Cole's plan before he even finished. Strong says he's proud of him for coming back from injury and to take MJF out together. Strong says he wants MJF first. Cole says they should finish it tonight and tell MJF to come out.

MJF is getting a massage on the tron. He mocks Cole. He says Cole won't ever get his hands on him. He says whichever one of them wins 3 matches first, he will give them a match at Full Gear. He says he won't show up until Full Gear.

Thoughts:
Oh great, another "win these matches and you can face me" MJF storyline. This has been done atleast twice and I don't want to see it again.

We then see Kyle O'Reilly watching in the back.

Jamie Hayter is interviewed by Renee and looks like a school teacher. She says it's BS that Ford is saying she was handed everything. She says she worked for this. She says she's looking for a fight tonight but Ford is nowhere to be found. She says she will be a victim of her return and asks her to be there in 2 weeks.  

The House of Black (Malakai Black, Buddy Matthews and Brody King) vs Pirata de la Muerte, Kevin Koa and Jaden Monroe

Black spin kicks Muerte in the head. He legsweeps Koa and Buddy top rope double stomps Koa's arm. Koa hits a forearm. Monroe takes a knee to the gut then a knee drop and senton. Koa takes a triple corner attack then a pop-up double knee and powerbomb. Buddy curbstomps Monroe and wins.

Thoughts: I think they switched Muerte and Koa as Koa had a skeleton on his tights and I would think Muerte would instead. This was your usual squash.

Buddy gets on the mic after. He says he wants Adam Cole next week.

Undisputed Kingdom minus Wardlow are interviewed. Cole is asked about his reaction and he says let me go ask Buddy. Cole asks Buddy if he's calling him out and asks what the deal is. Buddy says he wants to prove one point - that Cole is fragile.

Kamille vs Queen Aminata

Kam waistlock takedowns her. Kam corner splashes her then short arm lariats her. Queen hits forearms, ducks a lariat and hits a flying headscissors. Kam misses an elbow drop then Queen running knees her for 2.

Queen rolls her up for 2. Kam backbreakers her. We go to PiP break and return. Queen jawbreakers her and ducks her leg lariat. Queen hits forearms and chop blocks her. Queen running forearms her. Queen neckbreakers her then running knees her against the ropes.

Queen pulls on Kam's arms against the back of Kam's head and grounded dragon sleepers her. Queen hurricanrana's her out of a powerbomb. Kame torture racks her into a sitout bomb for 2. Kam twisting neckbreakers Queen and pins her.

Thoughts: This was one of those typical AEW matches where the winner is not in doubt but it goes extra long for no real reason. This did nothing to help out Kamille and blew the tough girl thing.

Kris Statlander comes out after, barely even wearing a bra. Kris stares down Kam. Mone tells Kris to look at her. Mone hits Kris  from behind. Kris then fights both and trades with Kam. Mone grabs Kris' leg and Kam hits a twisting neckbreaker on Kris.

The wrestlers wait for the BCC to arrive. They confront a car and it's Christian and his crew. They are disappointed and Christian says he's the next world champ. Kip Sabian is on the side and they chase after him.

Kip is chased into the ring by Christian's crew. Hook then appears on video and is headed to the ring. Renee asks if he found out who attacked his dad and he says the scumbag is in the ring. Hook suplexes Nick and tries to hit Christian. Kip low blows Hook. Christian says he knows why Kip has been doing what he has been doing. He says he will deal with him later and tells him to get in the corner and mind his own business. Nick goes to hit Wayne's World. Hook catches him and Christian hits him. Nick then hits Wayne's World.Christian hits a killswitch on Hook on the briefcase.

Thoughts: Killswitch is out for a while and it seems like they are replacing him with Kip. Even if he comes back, he can be a jobber for them so it's fine.

The Elite (Jack Perry and The Young Bucks) vs Private Party and Daniel Garcia

They said they have an overrun so we know this will be going past 10, which sucks. Jack Perry pushes DG and they fight outside. The Bucks are double dropkciked out then PP plancha's them at the same time outside.

Jack eye rakes DG. DG back elbows Matt (blue pants). The Bucks miss superkicks and we get 2 double lariats. All 4 then kip up. Jack pushes PP then DG knocks Jack over. PP jump off of DG's back to attack The Bucks.

The wrestlers are still waiting for The BCC outside. Zay lariats Quen on accident and The Bucks hit superkicks. Zay is bridged on the ropes and takes a top rope swanton. 

We go to PiP break and return. Stokeley Hathaway talks to PP in the front row. Matt is sent into the steps. Nick kicks Matt on accident then is swept on the apron. DG is ready to be tagged in but Matt pulls him off the apron. Jack powerbombs DG through a table.

The Bucks hit risky business on Zay. Zay walks up the buckles and does an armdrag + headscissors takeover. Quen lariats Matt and Nick. He pele kicks Matt then powerslams Jack. Quen does a double hurricanrana and takes a double superkick. Zay takes a double superkick. Quen takes a poisonrana from Jack for 2.

Zay takes a buckle bomb with double enzugiri's. Zay is laid on the top rope and takes a double stomp into a sitout powerbomb for 2. DG sends Jack into the rails then facekicks him over them. Zay does silly string int oa cradle on Matt and pins him.

Thoughts: It was alright. The Bucks didn't get to overdo it here and the match made sense with the faces making their comeback to win.

Zay gets on the mic after. He says they proved they have their number and can beat them. Zay says they will split up if they face them and lose. The Bucks agree. Zay says they will do it next week. 

We go to the back. The BCC arrives. Marina Shafir stands in front of the truck. The wrestlers don't touch her. CC and Yuta then attack PP and Garcia with chairs. Mox beats up Chuck Taylor. Mox pillmanizes Chuck's neck with a chair then the faces come out and The BCC leaves. The show then ends as OC is next to Chuck and a stretcher is brought out.

Thoughts: Well, that was a lame payoff to that angle. The anti-BCC wrestlers ended up looking like fools here.

Overall thoughts: It was a long and not so exciting show. They teased the wrestlers going after The BCC all night long then The BCC outsmarted them and we never got that payoff. The Taz attack angle didn't have a great payoff either. We are getting another 3 match series with an MJF foe. Kamille went over Queen Aminata but it didn't do anything to help her and probably hurt her. Kyle Fletcher cut his hair for no reason. Sammy/Shelton was an indy style match and Jericho/Briscoe was okay. I wouldn't recommend this one and I didn't like this show.
