AEW Dynamite 2/17/21 - Bucks vs. Proud 'n Powerful for the Tag Titles


Page and Hardy are out with Page hiring a shady legal team, to do battle with TH2. Matt lands a neckbreaker to Evans before a BT bomb. We'll see Jade and Shaq training later. Evans goes for a handspring but Matt kicks him and hits a side effect. Spine on the pine from Page to Angelico. Pop up powerbomb on Angelico leads to Evans flying into a powerbomb-ish onto his partner. Matt blind tags in and eats a double team before Jack hits a phoenix splash-ish for 2. DOUBLE BARREL BUCKSHOT! Twisto with a spike ends it and MATT HARDY WINS THE BIG ONE!


Matt says that Page will make a lot of money - and he'll make 30% of it. Page tells him that he didn't pay attention because he didn't read the contract. Matt is terrified and Page wants a copy - AND IT'S A CONTRACT FOR A MATCH AT REVOLUTION! And it Matt loses, Page gets 100% of his Q1 earnings - YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A CARNY! Matt says if he wins, he gets what Page asked of him and Page makes it a money match. Kassidy unmasks and beats up Page and then he bribes TH2 with $3,700 to kick his ass BEFORE THE DARK ORDER SAVES AT NEGATIVE ONE'S INSISTANCE! Marvez talks to PnP and they say it's because of fear that they haven't gotten a shot yet. MJF tells Sammy that he didn't want to record him - there'd be no point because THERE'S A CAMERA ON HIM. Jericho takes Sammy's side-ish by telling MJF to shut up. Deeb vs. Riho is up for the tourney. 

We get a recap of the first round of the Japanese side of things. Not much for Itoh, but they did show some of her singing...silently. JR puts Ex over for the great job he did. JR says that he and Riho have being 98 pounds in common as that was his weight in the sixth grade. Serena's got a brace on the left leg and she eats a dropkick after a bridge. Riho cartwheels into a crossbody for 2. During the break, Deeb gets her knee looked at. Serena locks on a...move that is probably better for PIP before landing a slew of uppercuts in the corner. Serena goes for a brainbuster, but the knee gives out. Riho goes up but her crossbody is avoided with a knee attack after a rollthrough. ROPE DRAGON SCREW! 619 BY RIHO leads to a double stomp on the back as she's draped over. Crossbody hits BUT NO LEG HOOK for 2. Deeb powerbombs her and locks on a stretch muffler, but Riho cradles her for 2. NORTHERN LIGHTS GETS 2 FOR RIHO!


Double stomp by Riho gets 2! Detox attempt, but Riho gets a European clutch for 2 before a Gedo clutch gets 2! RIHO WINS IT. This match ruled - this was among the best womens matches in the company's history - and one of the best Dynamite matches all year. Jade and Shaq train at a basketball court. Fantastic basketball training montage for a wrestling match...if they're making her the female Mr. Perfect. OC vs. DEATHMATCHLEGEND LUTHER is up next.

Luther gets a big stacked powerbomb for 2 before throwing him around by his shirt. OC avoids an apron bomb and powerbombs Luther off the apron to the floor. Chucky takes out Serpentico before an Orange Punch KOs Luther. This was perfect! Darby-Janela recap. Taz is out in a giant brown jacket that makes him look fatter. He's out with Hook and Cage blaming Sting for the snow taking out Starks right now. Taz tells Sting that him coming in this ring is a big mistake and Darby got dragged to FTW world. Sting tosses the bat aside and pounds away at Cage - but Hook grabs him with the bat by the throat and Cage powerbombs him. Sting looked great here, he didn't do much, but what he did was fine.




Kingston's six-man tag main events tonight and King says that he needs to get Mox out the most - he can't get rid of him with women, pills, or drugs - he needs to beat him. Recap of the Sting-Cage stuff - and that's a money match for...Double or Nothing. "Cameras caught up with the WWE Champion, Kenny Omega." Kenny reads THE BUCKS' BOOK TO KIDS. He brags about all the money he drew in Tokyo before having to leave to a "Kenny!" chant. They leave and have Nakazawa play with him. The Bucks' parents are in the crowd before Santana locks in an armbar.




Omega and the Good Brothers watch TV from a WWE angle backstage. MJF comes out and Knox kicks out the Inner Circle. Avalanche falcon arrow gets 2 for Santana! Ortiz locks on a Koji clutch, but gets cradled for 2 by Nick. DOOMSDAY DEVICE HITS FOR THE BUCKS! Buckle bomb/gamenguri and a double superkick gets 2! STREET SWEEPER HITS FOR 2.9! MASSIVE boos for that not ending it. WOW! FLASH SMALL PACKAGE ENDS IT and the Bucks retain! Kenny and the GB won't save them and then Cutler gets his ass beat by Hager dressed as Sonny Crockett. Jericho and MJF get their finishes on and then the Club comes down without Kenny. 



Brandi announces that it's time for a gender reveal, which of course gets a giant Cody intro. IT'S A GIRL and then FTR just comes out. Matt superkicks Dax and Mike double-stomps him off a top rope drape. Mike takes a PIP ass-kicking with apron chops and a big European uppercut from Dax. Matt hits a Paige turner on Dax before Matt avoids a corner charge and forearms them out of the corner. Dax powerbombs Mike into a dragon suplex by Cash for 2. Sydal gets a Charlotte's web for 2. Sydal hits a meteora before Mike..sorta hits a blind dive splash for 2. BIG RIG ON MIKE ENDS IT. This was fun.




They get Doc Sampson's bag and go to get scissors to cut Mike's hair before we see Luchasaurus with no mask and JURASSIC EXPRESS IS MID-RING. Snare Trap to Dax, who taps while Cash eats a chokeslam! Page faces Kassidy next week, and the women's semi-finals air. Starks and Cage face the Varsity Blondes and Cutler faces Hager. On 3/3 Shaq and Jade face Cody and Velvet. FTR and Tully face JURASSIC EXPRESS on March 3! Main event time. WE GET BRAWLIN AND CLUBBERIN!
 
Choke toss suplex by Lance to Blade before a belly to belly. Archer goes Old School as Fenix dives onto Butcher on the floor. Butcher and King battle Lance, who takes them out quickly. Fenix comes in and runs wild with kicks and an armdag. Front roll cutter! King hits an exploder and Butcher crossbodies Archer. POUNCE BY ARCHER TO KING! BULLDOG CHOKE BY MOX, but Butcher and Blade save. Chokeslam from Lance into a corkscrew dive onto B/B and ARCHER HITS A CANNONBALL SENTON! Backfist, but Mox endures and hits the elevated Paradigm Shift to win it! 

Good Brothers beat up Mox and Kenny comes down and he says he's got a contract for a rematch clause - and he'll get it at Revolution. BUT HE NAMES THE MATCH! Mox vs. Omega in an EXPLODING BARB WIRE DEATH MATCH. Jesus. MOX HEADBUTTS HIM! AND A V TRIGGER HITS! STEREO! Ex talks about this being right out of FMW. Fantastic stuff - Revolution finally feels like a major event again.
