AEW Dynamite Results – September to Remember

Welcome to our live recap of Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite September to Remember results.

AEW Dynamite airs live again from the Canada Life Place in London, Ontario, Canada, tonight. AEW World Champion Hangman Adam Page signs a contract against the Protostar Kyle Fletcher for All Out. Ahead of her 4-way match this weekend, “Timeless” Toni Storm has a spotlight cast on her. One match is set for the AEW Unified Championship Eliminator Tournament, whereas three AEW World Tag Team Championship Eliminator Matches are set. Queen Aminata clashes with bitter rival Thekla. Meat collides with meat as Hurt Syndicate’s Bobby Lashley grapples with Toa Liona of GOA. Robyn Renegade makes her first appearance on AEW TV in a while against Saturday’s TBS Championship challenger, Riho. Paragon’s Roderick Strong clashes with Death Rider leader Jon Moxley. Lastly, FTR meets Christian Cage and Adam Copeland for a verbal confrontation in the ring!

My eye is particularly on Riho versus Renegade and Strong versus Moxley. The former I’m suspicious of, due in part to recent rumors of Mone’s interest in the Renegade Twins, and it’d make sense with Riho chasing the CEO. The latter, I’m wondering if Strong’s real-life marriage to Death Rider Marina Shafir may factor into the equation.

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

Hangman Adam Page and Kyle Fletcher Contract Signing

(Fletcher finally engaged me in this promo. There’s something intense, reflective of his dynamic and explosive wrestling style. His voice carried the weight of the high-quality matches he’d produced the past couple of years or so. If All Out isn’t his night, it’ll be a damn good start to superstardom.)

Tony Schiavone started the proceedings as he attempted to get a word out of Fletcher and Page. Don Callis interrupted on behalf of Fletcher, stating that he’d been looking to take the title away from Page since he took it from Kenny Omega years ago. Page ignored him, focusing only on Fletcher, stating that he’s young and filled with potential, but needs to cut out people like Callis. Delivering an ultimatum, Page challenged Fletcher to put his TNT Championship on the line.

Fletcher retorted that he wasn’t scared by Page’s offer, that he’d fulfill his destiny by becoming AEW Men’s World Champion at All Out. The confident Protostar proceeded to illustrate how he was better than Page in 2021 and now. Like looking in a mirror, Page warned how Fletcher would feel the morning after All Out. Fletcher denied this, still determined to be champion coming out of Saturday night.

Jon Moxley defeated Roderick Strong

A quick hype package for Moxley versus Darby Allin at All Out played before the match.

(An expectedly physical bout, yet wholly satisfying for it. I love the nod to Strong and Shafir’s marriage.)

After the initial bell, Strong immediately slingshot in the ropes to kick Daniel Garcia away at ringside. Moxley brawled with him across the barricades. Strong took the momentum from him with a Backbreaker to the top part of the LED barricade. Clobbering Strong in the corners of the ring, Moxley dug his fingers into Strong’s skull. An exchange of chops ensued, with Strong falling like a tree.

Chasing Moxley down, Marina Shafir stood in front of him, wryly smiling. Daniel Garcia approached as well, but Kyle O’Reilly stole his focus from Strong. Strong was in dire straits after a commercial break, but a series of slams gave him room to breathe. Moxley caught him and gave Canada the middle finger as he planted Strong with a Piledriver. A rope break saved Strong from a Juji-Gatame. Bartering forearms in the center of the ring, Strong fell victim to a rear-naked choke. Moxley bit Strong’s hand to prevent a plummet from the top rope, but he inevitably fell to the center.

Countering a Paradigm Shift into a spill outside, Strong nearly had Moxley while O’Reilly and Garcia battered each other against the barricade. Wheeler Yuta emerged unexpectedly to trip Strong. This gave way to Moxley tapping out Strong with a Bulldog.

MJF confronted Tony Khan

MJF implied Khan screwed him over at Forbidden Door. He then demanded Khan take him off the Table and Tacks Match at All Out. Khan argued fiercely that MJF is obligated to do the match. MJF, being MJF, threatened to put Mark Briscoe in the dirt like his brother before slamming the door and marching off.

Bobby Lashley defeated Toa Liona

(Star-making performance for Toa Liona. It was his match, but with Lashley being the bigger star, it’s understandable that he’d come out on top. Still, Liona came off mighty fearsome with how he dominated.

These two beasts circled each other like stoic lions in a coliseum. Liona got the upper hand as he punished the Almighty in the corner. Unforgiving shots to Lashley’s body thudded into the Ontario night. The match rested firmly in his control. Lashley briefly halted Liona, but only briefly; he dropped the former World Tag Team Champion on the ring apron.

Liona continued to overwhelm Lashley, going so far as to perch himself upon his shoulders. Lashley took advantage of this to drop him on his back. The opponents swung with no remorse, and Liona recovered almost instantly every time. Mocking Lashley’s signature pose, Liona dropped to the mat after Lashley shouldered him down. Aiming a Spear in the ring, Lashley changed to the outside and did it again to more success. Ricochet stood before Lashley and MVP proudly, only to be laid out by Shelton Benjamin.

Lashley fully engaged a Hurt Lock, and try as he might, Liona could not escape. Down on the mat, Liona passed out.

Post-match, MVP and Benjamin brawled with Ricochet and Bishop Kaun. Hurt Syndicate stood tall.

Adam Copeland and Christian Cage met FTR Face-to-Face

(This segment was a wildfire of greatness. I loved how calm Cage was, keeping true to the fact that he had little skin in this match aside from repaying Copeland. FTR are still at the top of their game, while C&C are in a magnificent twilight.)

Once again, Copeland’s “Metalingus” theme received a spirited sing-along from the Ontario crowd.

Tony Schiavone boasted about the monumental occasion of FTR and Copeland & Cage. Stokely Hathaway insulted the wrestling veterans. Cash Wheeler shared his past with Copeland by mentioning how the latter offered to help, only to kick him back down. Red-faced in his pent-up jealousy, Wheeler mentioned that FTR helped Copeland get his career back, and that FTR will end it again at All Out. Dax Harwood bragged of carrying tag team wrestling on his and Wheeler’s backs. Mentioning NXT, AEW, and ROH talent they’ve put on classic matches with, Harwood’s chip was on his shoulder. He said that Copeland and Christian saw this as a dream match whereas FTR saw it as just another match.

Copeland snatched the microphone, telling Hathaway that he had no hoes. Copeland responded that he opened his apartment to Wheeler and helped elevate him and Harwood. Passionately, he savored with every word that this tag team match would be special. Cage interrupted The Rated-R Superstar’s titling of “Cope and Cage” with “Cage and Cope”. Copeland then passed the microphone to Cage. He also made fun of Hathaway. Mentioning the impending fine if he and Copeland struck FTR, he stated that money was no problem to him.

Both teams brawled, leaving Harwood a dripping mess of blood.

Young Bucks apologized to Renee Paquette

Nick and Matt Jackson greeted Paquette warmly. Stating they were harsh to her in the past few years, they lent her a stack of money to buy something pretty with.

Young Bucks (Nicholas and Mattew Jackson) defeated Bang-Bang Gang (Juice Robinson & Austin Gunn)

(Decent match, but not one of the Bucks’ standouts from this year. Certainly a great step forward for Gunn and Robinson, though.)

Matthew shoulder-tackled Robinson and maintained control of his left arm. Gunn evoked the New Age Outlaws with a series of punches to Nicholas. He and Matthew coordinated a neckbreaker on Gunn after the former kicked Robinson to the barricade. Gunn found his bearings briefly, but the Bucks and their kicks kept reintroducing him to the mat. Nicholas tried bribing Referee Rick Knox, which was instantly rejected. Robinson made the hot tag, bouncing off the ropes as he tormented Nicholas and Matthew.

Tagging in Gunn, Robinson slingshot himself from his partner into Nicholas in the corner. Famouser by Gunn incapacitated Nicholas at the ringside. The Bucks pulled through with a complicated yet slick bridging suplex pin. Uniting for a BTE Trigger, their knees collided as their victim, Gunn, collapsed. Gunn prevented a Meltzer Driver, leading Robinson to swing a comeback.

Juice bit Matthew’s skull on the top rope and landed him in a pin. Gunn and Nicholas kept positioning Robinson and Matthew, teetering each subsequent roll-up. One last Meltzer Driver on Robinson sealed the deal, with Matthew gaining the victory.

Mascara Dorada defeated The Beast Mortos

(Fluid poetry. This is the magic of lucha libre.)

Dorada’s agility kept him out of Mortos’s paws, with many an impressive tijeras. Mortos dove into a Tornado through the ropes to flatten Dorada. Unsatisfied, he hurled his opponent into the barricades. Dazed, Mortos saulted across the mat after a couple of acrobatic arm drags courtesy of Dorada. Canadian Destroyer by Dorada, followed by a Tornado, gave him reprieve against the juggernaut that was Mortos.

Dropping Dorada in a backbreaker, Mortos countered Dorada’s agility with a powerslam. Embers of a Dorada comeback flickered, yet Mortos snuffed them out with his power. Dorada flung Mortos with a hurricanrana from the top rope. A Shooting Star Press earned Dorada the win.

Post-match, Kazuchika Okada, flanked by Don Callis, sauntered to the ring.  Before he could join Dorada, Okada stopped, distracted by Konosuke Takeshita. The duo stared at each other. Refusing to be ignored, Dorada tumbled Okada over with a tornillo to the outside. He then stared down Takeshita as though to say, “Stay out of my way.”

“Timeless” Toni Storm in the spotlight

Storm gave a foreboding promo as though she was unsure how long she would be able to carry the championship. Touting her victories over Megan Bayne, Mercedes Mone, and Athena, she professed she loved every minute of putting her body on the line. Declaring Jamie Hayter, Kris Statlander, and Thekla as worthy of potentially carrying the AEW Women’s World Championship. However, she demanded they take her beyond her limits in a morbid Toni Storm fashion.

Hayter joined her in the spotlight, recounting their history in AEW. Statlander came out of nowhere, declaring neither Storm nor Hayter capable of having the ovaries to stop her. Forgoing a promo, Thekla interrupted them via her entrance theme while the referees chased the trio of women off for some reason.

Thekla defeated Queen Aminata

(The vitriol in this rivalry is second to none since Thekla and Aminata met in the ring earlier this year. Almost like Austin and Hart in 1997. So nasty and cruel. I love it.)

Thekla placed a tin garbage can in the ring. Aminata disallowed its usage; however, as she pulled the Toxic Spider outside and threw her into the barricade. The Queen proceeded to throw steel chairs, kendo sticks, and a trash can lid across the mat. Thekla caught Aminata in the ring as she swung Aminata’s cane. Hurling the Queen over the barricade, Thekla hit her with the trash can lid before headbutting it herself.

Threatening to drop Aminata on the trash can, Thekla found herself tangled on the ropes for a DDT onto it. She drove a steel chair into Aminata’s midsection, later spearing her into another that was set up. Bartering elbows, Aminata gained the advantage with a thunderous headbutt. Prepping herself for a dive, Aminata suffered another lid. Seemingly knocking out Thekla, Aminata instead fell victim to a suplex. A Fisherman Buster Suplex onto the chair obliterated Thekla. Cuts and bruises began to wear on their bodies.

Thekla stomped Aminata’s face onto a chair and rolled her over for the pinfall.

Post-match, Thekla told Toni Storm her end was coming. Storm and Hayter tussled with her. Kris Statlander wrecked Hayter. Skye Blue and Julia Hart joined Thekla against Hayter and Storm. Meanwhile, Wheeler Yuta and Marina Shafir spooked Statlander to the back. Hayter and Storm bickered much to the Triangle of Madness’s glee.

Renee Paquette interviewed SkyFlight

Darius Martin confidently approached Top Flight’s upcoming match against Hechicero and Josh Alexander. Hangman Adam Page approached them, instructing them to be wary of the Don Callis Family. Christopher Daniels thanked him, but informed him they’d be ready as a team.

JetSpeed (“Speedball” Mike Bailey & Kevin Knight) defeated Killswitch & Kip Sabian

(The sooner Killswitch is liberated, the better. Yet another spectacular performance by JetSpeed.)

Killswitch was the legal man, but that didn’t stop Sabian from immediately tagging himself in. Due to this, JetSpeed’s combined offense was too much for Sabian. Shayna Wayne chastised Knight while Killswitch powerbombed Bailey. Despite his best efforts, Bailey’s kicks could not topple the towering Killswitch. Sabian sent Bailey tumbling to the outside and berated his partner.

Sabian’s unwillingness to work respectfully towards Killswitch continued to malign him as JetSpeed kept him grounded. The more in-sync team of Knight and Bailey continued to daze Sabian, while it took much more effort to fell Killswitch. Fighting out of Killswitche’s chokeslam, Bailey couldn’t avoid it a second time. Sabian demanded to be tagged in, slapping Killswitch to do so. Bailey rolled up Sabian to no avail. Sabian faced a near-count with his legs perched on the bottom rope. Killswitch smacked them off. Beckoning Sabian to make a tag, Killswitch jumped away and watched as Bailey kicked his partner for the pinfall.

Big Bill called out Eddie Kingston

Joined by Bryan Keith in a hallway near some escalators, Bill jeered the Mad King’s absence. He questioned if Kingston would show up on Saturday, and if so, he’d expose him as a “fraud”, which Keith aggressively repeated.

Bryan Danielson interviewed Darby Allin

When asked why Allin climbed Mt Everest, Danielson found that his motive was based on giving his word in a business full of selfishness. Mentioning Danielson’s relationship to Jon Moxley, Allin compared it to his late uncle and his partnership with Sting. Allin requested that Danielson not get involved because he blamed himself for not getting in the way of the Death Riders taking him out at WrestleDream. Danielson obliged, requesting Allin promise him something concealed from audio.

Riho versus Robyn Renegade

Mercedes Mone joined the commentary desk, dressed in red from head to foot.

(A little too quick. Fun match and a great way to return Riho to AEW action. It also introduced high interest in a Mone and Renegades alliance.

Renegade trapped Riho in a headlock. Riho dropkicked Renegade out of the ring. Mone berated Riho as her belts lay on display. A stomp to Riho’s midsection gave Renegade some leeway, but karma bit her when Riho did the same. Dragon Suplex via Riho leapt to a Crucifix Bomb for a swift pinfall.

Post-match, Mone tauntingly strutted to the ring slowly, lending Renegade enough time to drop Riho. Mone provided additional punishment as she stood tall.

Daniel Garcia and Katsuyori Shibata’s Match Was Booked For All Out

A video package aired with Garcia of the Death Riders denouncing Shibata and The Opps. Samoa Joe spoke English on Shibata’s behalf, making the third match in Garcia and Shibata’s trilogy official for All Out.

Don Callis Family (Josh Alexander & Hechicero) defeated Top Flight (Dante and Darius Martin)

(Top Flight came out of this match red-hot. But the addition of the Don Callis Family made for an exciting inclusion to Saturday’s ladder match.)

Hechicero firmly grounded Darius with various holds, yet the Top Flight member held tight into a stalemate. Alexander joined his partner to bear down on Darius, but Dante tagged in. Dante thwarted Alexander’s suplex on Darius. Dante spiked Hechicero’s face on Darius’s knee. Hechicero played dead long enough for Alexander to surprise Darius at ringside.

Dante’s spry offense became too much for Alexander and Hechicero, nearly securing the win. Alexander clutched Darius in for multiple German suplexes. Though weakened, Darius saved Dante with a thrust kick to Alexander. Dante dove at Alexander, sending him to the commentary table, and repaid for it by falling into the mat from the top rope. Hechicero pulled him in for a Guillotine pin for the victory.

Post-match, Lance Archer and Rocky Romero assaulted Top Flight and Christopher Daniels. Scorpio Sky and JetSpeed came to their aid. BroDido also joined the fray as they did their secret handshake while Sky and Archer visibly tussled on camera. Archer dropped Daniels with a lariat. Romero threw the Fallen Angel back in the ring. As the crowd of tag teams brawled to the back, Hangman Adam Page rescued Daniels. Before he could follow up, Page was distracted by Kyle Fletcher, who beat him down. Archer and Romero set up a table for Fletcher to use, but Page’s lariat saved him from it temporarily. Fletcher’s vertical suplex dropped Page through the table to close the show.

Final Thoughts

Incredible go-home show. Fletcher, Toa Liona, and Thekla all came out bigger stars, heated up perfectly for All Out. Christian Cage changing the hierarchy of his relationship to Adam Copeland as “Cage and Cope” was a nice touch. I still wish Eddie Kingston made his return, but I’m all the more excited for his return. Honestly, so much happened on this episode and so much is booked for All Out. But I don’t care; I’m hyped for all of it. The only match I wasn’t so keen on compared to everyone else was the Young Bucks against the Bang-Bang Gang.
