AEW Dynamite Results – All In Fallout

Welcome to our recap of tonight’s AEW Dynamite results.

AEW Dynamite airs live from the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, IL. With All In Texas behind us, AEW has a lot of hype behind it. Can they sustain it? Tonight’s episode will only tell—they stuck the landing, now they need to run. We’ll hear from the AEW Women’s World Champion “Timeless” Toni Storm, following her victory over the gold-hoarding Mercedes Mone. Women’s Casino Gauntlet winner from All In, Athena, may make her presence known. Furthermore, two burning rivalries in the women’s division collide as Kris Statlander and Willow Nightingale bring their feud to Thekla and Queen Aminata’s bitter rivalry in a $100K 4-Way.

The new AEW Men’s World Champion “Hangman” Adam Page addresses the hot Chicago crowd after dethroning Jon Moxley for the (hidden) belt. Seeing the belt back out in the open feels so good after so long! Later, he joins Mark Briscoe and a vengeful Opps member, Powerhouse Hobbs, in a trios action against Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, and Wheeler Yuta. I’d expect an angle to follow that may determine the fate of the villainous stable.

Following his loss in the TNT Champion 4-Way match at All In, Kyle Fletcher goes toe-to-toe with CMLL’s Mascara Dorada. Now stripped of their EVP titles, Nicholas and Matthew Jackson of The Young Bucks align with the Don Callis Family’s Josh Alexander and Hechicero in an 8-man tag against ROH Men’s World Champion Bandido, who stands among Brody King and JetSpeed. Plus, Adam Copeland returns!

Follow along with live results from tonight’s card with updated play-by-play and takes from the matches!

AEW Dynamite Results

“Hangman” Adam Page in-ring promo

Fans showered an emotional Page with “You deserve it!” chants. He responded that they deserve it. They accepted his correction with “We deserve it!” chants. For supporting a “grassroots approach to pro wrestling,” he proclaimed that all fans are the reason for AEW’s success. “Thank you, Hangman!” chants followed, to which he said that carrying this belt for everyone means more to him than we’ll ever know.

Page changed focus to everyone who fell along the way against the Death Riders, including Orange Cassidy, Jay White, Adam Copeland, the Opps, Bryan Danielson, Darby Allin, and Will Ospreay. As if prolonging the inevitable, upon the crowd’s insistence, he also gave props to Swerve Strickland. Admitting that he shed tears after winning at All In, he proudly mentioned that he was a father, a husband, and the “motherf------ World Champion.”

(Great way to start the show. With the ultimate wish to win at All In, I agreed that it was best to get it out of the way and give the fans what they want. Page is one of the most believable babyface champions in any promotion right now, and it’s hard not to feel proud to have such a champion.)

Young Bucks outside segment

In a much smaller vehicle, a grumpy Matthew and Nicholas Jackson grabbed their things from the trunk and walked in the rain to the arena.

Kyle Fletcher defeated Mascara Dorada

An irate Fletcher rained punches on Dorada’s skull as though this were the world’s most violent therapy session. With some nimble and agile limbwork, Dorada escaped Fletcher’s clutches to flatten him with a Springboard Dropkick. Fletcher regained momentum after a spinning slam. Amid some compelling camera work, Dorada made a comeback with a Shooting Star Press from the middle rope. Code Red, courtesy of Dorada, nearly put Fletcher away. The Protostar writhed in pure agony after a gnarly hurricanrana and 450 Splash put the luchador inches away from victory.

From midair, Fletcher caught Dorada’s moonsault and dropped him with a Brainbuster for the win.

(Fletcher has been positioned strongly in matches, so to be dominated by Dorada makes it feel he’s slipping, possibly for a future babyface turn at some point when Don Callis turns on him.)

Young Bucks make their way backstage

The Bucks faced a borderline disrespectful interview with Renee Paquette, was ignored by Marina Shafir, and had their locker room door defaced by Chris Hero. Ricochet and the Gates of Agony scoffed at them. Don Callis approached them to work together with his Family. The pair agreed, and all three hugged it out.

Hurt Syndicate All In promo

MVP boasted Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin’s success over The Patriarchy and JetSpeed. MJF dictated his structured plan for “Hangman” Adam Page after winning the Casino Gauntlet, earning him a future Men’s World Championship match.

Josh Alexander, Hechicero, and the Young Bucks (Nicholas & Matthew Jackson) versus Bandido, Brody King, and JetSpeed (Kevin Knight & “Speedball” Mike Bailey)

The Bucks came out to the initial “Succession” style entrance, posed for pyro, only for the music to evaporate and the tron to have their names in colored Comic Sans font and footage of their loss at All In. Even Justin Roberts soured on them, rushing their fanfare.

Alexander and King clashed, with the domineering goliath getting the best of Alexander. Bandido tumbled Hechicero with a diving hurricanrana. JetSpeed overwhelmed Hechicero and collapsed the Bucks on the outside with a united dive. The Jacksons gained their team some edge with superkicks to everyone on the opposing team.

Alexander spun Knight through the air with a toss. The Bucks tried an EVP Trigger but debated on whether they should still use that name, leading to an opening for JetSpeed and Bandido. Missile dropkick by Bailey gained his team a reprieve while he worked the twins. King tumbled Alexander and Hechicero with a double lariat, deadlifting the former with a back suplex. Tope from King and Moonsault via Bandido kept The Bucks dazed while Alexander fired back. An all-out frenzy transpired, with Bandido capitalizing on Nicholas accidentally superkicking Matthew, giving a cutter. Within the chaos, Hechicero’s sleeper rent Bandido unconscious.

(The Young Bucks in their demotion era is already fun. Seeing them deal with the loss of their EVP status has a decent shelf life in comedic bits, so I’m here for it.)

Adam Copeland speaks

Chicago continued singing “Metalingus” by Alterbridge after the song ended, to which Copeland thanked them. Shifting attention to Christian Cage, Copeland stated he didn’t come to save him at All In. He didn’t blame the Patriarchy’s betrayal on them, and reinforced that he said this would happen to Cage. The reason Copeland came back was to take on the turncoat FTR. Having helped him get back into wrestling shape five years ago, he regretted their friendship after they put him out of action for four months.

Stokely Hathaway and AEW security marched to the ring instead of the tag team. Hathaway, heavily booed, proclaimed that Warner Bros and other higher-ups demanded he not place his hands on FTR or else he’ll be fired. Comparing Hathaway to an Oompa-Loompa, Copeland remarked that Hathaway didn’t say anything about him laying a finger on him. Watching AEW security flee from the scene, Hathaway dramatically turned around for a Spear.

(This was entertaining, especially the Hathaway slander. However, the drama of Copeland’s time running out is growing more palpable. Hopefully this FTR rivalry with Christian ends their tag career on the highest note possible.)

Mark Briscoe backstage promo

Briscoe thought he was done with MJF, but the latter had only begun to know what Briscoe could bring to a match. Eerily enough, Briscoe’s cadence, anger, and vocabulary felt very much like his brother Jay.

Thekla defeated Kris Statlander, Willow Nightingale, and Queen Aminata

Thekla kept Statlander at bay with a tijeras but fell to a vertical suplex. Aminata with a lunging boot decked Statlander in the face, with Nightingale providing additional offense to both. Aminata clobbered Nightingale with her rear end, but Thekla broke it up. Nightingale crushed Thekla with a backbreaker. Crossbody by Thekla sent Nightingale and Statlander on the outside.

Perched atop the top rope, Thekla was elbowed down by Aminata. Using impressive core strength, Thekla flung her with a Spider Suplex. Everyone traded finishers and stiff offense that earned an ovation from Chicago. Statlander pulled Referee Aubrey Edwards out of the ring when Nightingale sent Thekla to the mat for a cancelled pin. Aminata’s stomp from the top rope to Thekla earned a 2-count. Skye Blue distracted Aminata, while Julia Hart spat mist in her face. Thekla took advantage of this with a pinfall victory.

(Thekla with Blue and Hart could be an interesting stable. It must be stated how well the Toxic Spider has taken to Aminata in the ring, like wrestling soulmates.)

“Timeless” Toni Storm balcony promo

Following heavy, inappropriate nicknames given unto herself, Storm thanked Mercedes Mone in her unique way, hinting that she’ll be open to a rematch in the future. She announced that her butler, Luther, would be out due to injury. Athena and Billie Starkz interrupted her on the tron screen, hinting that Mina Shirakawa’s damage at the Women’s Casino Gauntlet is only an appetizer for what she’ll do once she locks up with Storm in the future. Storm remained unfazed, revealing she would be ready.

(Phenomenal use of color grading in a black and white segment. Also, whereas Mercedes Mone had been a threat due to how many belts she collected, Athena is like Storm, even moreso with the longevity of her ROH Women’s Championship reign. This brings something new to Storm’s list of challengers.)

The Patriarchy promo

Kip Sabian, Martha Wayne, and Nick Wayne denounced Christian Cage, bitter at his treatment of them. Nick, in particular, shone with how incensed he was at Cage and at his own potential.

Kazuchika Okada defeated Rafael Quintero

Don Callis announced Okada to the ring, boasting of their victory over Kenny Omega at All In. Okada came out to new music by ONE OK ROCK that quickly proved unpopular online.

Okada dominated his opponent with a series of elbows, a dropkick, and a Rainmaker for a quick win.

Post-match, Okada called out Swerve Strickland. Rather than let him continue talking trash, Strickland grabbed Okada’s wrist with mic in hand, and asked him what he was going to do about it.

(So much happened in such a short time. RIP to Quintero. Hopefully, people acclimate to Okada’s theme, since the Rainmaker theme no longer seems to fit him anymore. I get it’s iconic, but it doesn’t feel right. As for a feud with Strickland, this is going to be good.)

“Hangman” Adam Page, Mark Briscoe, & Powerhouse Hobbs defeated Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, & Wheeler Yuta)

Hobbs and Castagnoli clashed thunderously, to loud “meat” chants. Page tagged in, wearing Castagnoli and Yuta down. Briscoe furthered the offense on the latter, with assistance from Hobbs. Moxley refused to get in the ring with Page. Yuta leapt to Hobbs’s arms, which would’ve been unwise had it not been bait for Moxley and Marina Shafir to cut him off for unified offense. Choking out Hobbs, Moxley thrust him into the steel steps on the outside.

The torment of Hobbs continued, with Castagnoli and Yuta haunting him, the former doing his patented swing. Briscoe tagged, clearing out the Death Riders, but struggled against Moxley. Shafir halted Briscoe’s momentum, leading to Page trying to interfere and Moxley taking advantage of the situation. Moxley had Briscoe in a choke, dropping him with a Piledriver. Before Hobbs could help, Castagnoli and Yuta descended upon him.

Dropkick by Briscoe sent Moxley mat-bound. He fled once Page tagged in, leaving Castagnoli and Yuta to face his wrath. Castagnoli and Yuta collaborated with a Fastball Special to topple Page. A mad series of Rolling Elbows by the new champion cleared the field. Seeking a Buckshot Lariat on Castagnoli, Page was interrupted by an advantageous, dirty Moxley, who bit him. Castagnoli reached for a Neutralizer, but Page countered it with a Jackknife for the pinfall.

Post-match, Moxley unleashed a torrent of forearms and elbows on Page. Darby Allin appeared from a balcony, distracting Moxley from a Buckshot Lariat by Page.

(A fun match, but not befitting the main event of a show following up on the momentous All In event. Though this did sprinkle in the character shift of Moxley, now too cowardly to face Page one-on-one, only opting to attack when he’s at his most vulnerable. Smart, but unbefitting of their history pre-Death Riders. The cracks are more evident now, so perhaps a Death Riders implosion could be imminent.)

Final Thoughts

Not a bad show. Page and Storm felt deserving of their wins, while pointing to their futures. The tag team division seems to be growing some heat, as is the women’s division. While I greatly enjoyed the venue, here’s to hoping AEW will be packing big arenas again soon.
