AEW Dynamite 5-19-21

 


Christian Cage is out to start the show against Matt Sydal and they start off with a headlock before a long back and forth tie-up before a Cage baseball slide. Cage plants a knee on the back for a camel clutch and goes for a Bret backbreaker, but Sydal headscissors out of it. A second-rope meteora is maybe a thing you don't do close to your '40s - especially seeing how Savage moved in his mid-'40s. Christian's spear is countered into a yoshi tonic for 2.999999 before Sydal gets the grounded cobra clutch. Froggy body misses and a second rope moonsault is avoided from Sydal leading to the spear for 2.9. Killswitch is met with a jumping knee! Standing swanton is met with knees and a killswitch ends it - this was a lot of fun. Kind of like something they'd have had on ECW in 2009, only a step slower.



Starks distracts them so Team Taz can beat them up. Miro faces Archer at the PPV and we get an old-school runthrough of Pillman Jr who says that his father is the thing that made him not want to get in the ring. The Bucks gave him hope and Garrison said that the Bucks let him run their table and they need a reality check. Mox and Eddie say they'll take out the rapper and his like friend and Kingston isn't about the superkick party because they don't do superkicks. Caster gets a great line in about Mox's girl hitting him up for some oral sessions - which is his best line and he gets an ass-whooping for that one. Mox and King have the X version of "Wild Thing", which works shockingly well for Mox.



Kingston gets a sloppy suplex and has that "fuck..." face. Mox gets a hot tag and runs wild with a snap German and king kong lariat! RNC to Bowens on the apron so he just drops him! Mox goes for a TORNADO DEATH RIDER, but Bowens saves. Caster gets a crossbody and a tag for a powerplex from Bowens for 2. Bowens gets the chain  and the ref gets on him, but Caster has the boom box and eats it! WHEELBARROW DEATH RIDER ends it! 


Marvez meets with Deano and Jericho, who won't give them the scoop on the Stadium Stampede match and Dean laments Jericho having a few more holds than him. Sky and Page talk about Sting and Sky says that TIME happened. Page brags about helping take the title from Darby and he'll help take everything else from him too. STING arrives and they take out Page and Sky. Deathlock to Sky and Sky taps! Well, Sting showed Sky that he isn't the old man he said - so that was good. This feud is not quite clicking though. Dark Order cut them off from an escape so they run through the crowd. 


MJF buries Jericho for his lame lines while brandishing a knife before Dax cuts a better promo in terms of passion than MJF ever has and Spears beats up the guy giving them their drinks. Shida faces Rebel and beats her knee up to kingdom come. Shida uses a glove, but Britt distracts and crutches Shida. Toss suplex gets 2 for Rebel. Sitout knee breaker and a stretch muffler ends it for Shida. CURB STOMP ON THE BELT FROM BRITT! Kenny and Don tell the Best Friends to leave OC and they show him his KO and says they need him as the mascot - not the champion. Don says that he has to protect the talent from themselves - and offers to take him out of the match, but he'll still get to have a singles match down the line when he's healthier. 


Don tells him to sleep on it - or maybe not, rest, they printed out a second one. Ortiz cuts a nice, intense promos and then Hager said...stuff...Sammy says he'll SSP on the Pinnacle and Jericho says the Pinnacle has their heads up each others' asses so they can't hear very well. Jericho pulling from the reality of almost bonking his head off the fall is great stuff - this feud needed SOMETHING to ground it in reality and evoking his family worked. ON MAY 30, HELL IS COMING FOR THE PINNACLE!  Jade meets with Tony before Mark Sterling arrives. Mark Sterling wanting to make Team Jade so he works for her is great stuff.


Red Velvet is out to her banger of a theme to face Serena Deeb for the NWA Women's Title. Serena starts off hot but Velvet avoids the Detox, but eats a twist and shout for 2. Velvet gets a backstabber and avoids an apron neckbreaker and gets an apron moonsault press. Dynamite is on Friday next week and Velvet gets 2 off a corkscrew. Sloppy counters on ground cradles get 2 for Velvet. CHOKESLAM BY VELVET!? MOONSAULT MEETS THE KNEES OF DEEB! STACK POWERBOMB GETS 2 FOR SERENA! Tequila Sunrise/Serenity Lock by Serena! Velvet escapes, so she locks it on again AFTER SMASHING HER KNEE INTO THE MAT BEFOREHAND. This ruled!



Gunn's out and he's the son of a son and a son of a Gunn. He gets a shotgun dropkick and Ex talks about Ogogo being 78% blind in the left eye. THE LEFT HOOK TO THE RIBS hits and he's down and hurt, but the second one hits the other side and he's done, guv'nah. BUT HE WILL KEEP FIGHTING, so Ogogo hits ONE MORE SHOT with a pop-up punch and it's over. THIS WAS PERFECT!



Kaz and CD are backstage with Marvez and CD leaves and Kaz says that CD is on his path, but he knows where his path is. Miro's out and the belt looks great on him. He thanks Jesus for giving him STRENGTH, POWER AND MORE AGGRESSION SO HE CAN DESTROY EVERYONE. THAT'S HIS TALENT! Lance says that Cody and him fought for that title a year ago and a year ago, Miro was busy having a day for himself. IT'LL BE A MONSTERFIGHT! He's going to make him his BULGARIAN BITCH! If Roberts goes after him, he'll kill him and everyone dies - but Lance will go before he does. Good stuff - also Miro defends on a live Dynamite on Friday against Dante Martin. JANELA FACES ADAM PAGE in an ALL-IN REMATCH! Shida gets a 1 year celebration as well.

 



Blonds are out to face the Bucks, who are dressed even more insanely than usual and they give Nakazawa their goofy headgear so he can mark out. Okay - him as a fake idol stan is great. DOUBLE TEAM ROPEWALK DOUBLE STOMP AND SPLASH! Tony talks about how Dark Side helped out Brian Jr.. Big dive to the floor by Griff and an Air Pillman gets 2. Sunset flip into a sharpshooter by Matt. AEROSOL TO PILLMAN thanks to a Cutler distraction. JULIA HART POINTS OUT THAT MATT HAS THE CAN! MATT GETS ANOTHER CAN AND SPRAYS HER! 




Sharpshooter gets the tapout after more cold spray and cheating, but WILD THING IS HERE! WE GOT US A BRAWL! DOUBLE RNC GETS A PASSOUT - so that will make a great close call for the PPV. Fantastic show overall - tremendous night for babyfaces here. KINGSTON AND MOX STEAL THE BUCKS DIOR JORDANS! And they get a TAG TITLE SHOT AT Double or Nothing! Great night to build up the PPV.
