It was AEW Dynamite featuring Bryan Danielson against Nigel McGuinness, Jon Moxley battling Darby Allin, and more.

This episode took place at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York City. The announcers were Excalibur, Taz, Jim Ross and Tony Schiavone. Jim Ross is usually not on Dynamite regularly anymore, but he was there for the first match.

After Nigel McGuinness made his entrance, Bryan Danielson’s music played and there was no sign of the AEW World Champion. Nigel wanted the referee to count Bryan out, so when that happened, “The Final Countdown” song played and Danielson made his entrance.

Match #1:Bryan Danielson defeated Nigel McGuinness by submission. They went about 20 minutes with Nigel working on Bryan’s hand for most of the match. Bryan fought back and won with the LeBell Lock submission. JR mentioned that Nigel said “thank you” as he tapped out.

Christian Cage appeared with his contract that guarantees him an AEW World Title match. Cage was about to sign it, but Kip Sabian stole the pen. Cage went running to the back after Sabian, saw Claudio Castagnoli & Pac standing there and Cage ran away in the other direction.

Match #2: FTW Championship: Hook defeated Roderick Strong (w/Matt Taven & Mike Bennett) by submission. Hook won with the Red Rum submission. After the match, Roderick Strong shook hands with Hook. Taven and Bennett shook Hook’s hand too.

Hook was interviewed by Tony Schiavone at ringside. Schiavone said that 26 years ago, the FTW Title was born by his father Taz right here in New York City. Hook said that with all that being said, all good things must come to an end. Hook said on behalf of his family, he’d like to thank every wrestler who has ever competed for this title right here. Hook thanked the fans for supporting this FTW Championship. Hook said the FTW Championship is officially retired. Hook gave the FTW Title to his father Taz and they hugged at ringside.

Match #3: AEW Tag Team Championships: The Young Bucks – Matthew & Nicholas Jackson defeated Will Ospreay & Kyle Fletcher by pinfall. Don Callis wanted Fletcher to use a screwdriver, but Ospreay stopped that. The Bucks used the Tag Team Titles as a weapon (the referee never saw it), then the Bucks hit a double superkick on Fletcher and a BTE Trigger double knee for the win. This was an incredible match that lasted about 20 minutes.

Prince Nana was interviewed by Tony Schiavone by the entrance area. Nana had his coffee that he was selling. Nana said that mentally there is nothing that can stop Swerve Strickland, who is the most dangerous man in AEW. Nana said that physically, Swerve is not cleared to come back, but he is fighting hard to come back and Nana kept yelling “Whose House?” for Swerve. It’s MVP (Montel Vontavious Porter) making his AEW debut with a cane in his hand. MVP was in a suit. MVP said that Swerve Strickland is the most dangerous man in AEW and there’s no question about it. MVP said Swerve Strickland is the most phenomenal athlete in AEW while talking about his eight month run without being pinned or submitted. MVP mentioned some of the guys that Swerve beat. MVP said he saw Swerve lose the AEW World Championship at All In and saw Swerve lose at All Out. MVP trashed Prince Nana for being more concerned about selling coffee and dancing for these people. MVP told Nana when Swerve is ready to be taken seriously again, please give MVP’s business card to Swerve because MVP will be ready to talk business.

Match #4: AEW Women’s Championship: Mariah May defeated Yuka Sakazaki by pinfall. May won with the Storm Zero piledriver that Toni Storm uses.

After the match, May teased an attack on Yuka with the EAEW Women’s Title. Willow Nightingale went into the ring, May confronted her, Mina Shirakawa showed up and May hugged her friend Mina. Mina reacted like she wasn’t sure she was happy to see May do what she did. May ran away to the back.

Match #5:Jon Moxley (w/Marina Shafir) defeated Darby Allin by pinfall. They battled by the turnbuckle, Shafir was on the apron, Allin was looking at her, so Moxley hit an Avalanche Death Rider DDT for the pinfall win.

At AEW WrestleDream on October 12th, Jon Moxley will challenge Bryan Danielson for the AEW World Title.

After the match, Bryan Danielson went into the ring with a necktie and Bryan tried to choke Moxley with it. Shafir jumped on Bryan’s back, so Claudio Castagnoli and Pac went into the ring to save Moxley. The trio of Private Party and Komander went into the ring to fight with the heels, but that didn’t work out that well. Danielson set up for the running kick against Moxley, so Claudio pulled Moxley out of the ring.

Danielson said that Moxley wanted war, so Bryan was declaring war. Danielson said that Moxley has got his AEW World Title match at WrestleDream and Bryan is going to kick his f**king head in. The graphic was shown for Danielson-Moxley at WrestleDream. Danielson celebrated in the ring while Moxley and his group left. That was the end of the show.
