AEW Dynamite 12-29-21 - New Year's Smash




Jim Ross returns tonight and we get the final Dynamite on TNT before the move to TBS. We get a slick intro with shots of the set before JIM ROSS GETS HIS PPV INTRO for his return! Lucha Bros, Jurassic Express, and Christian Cage face FTR and the HFO with Private Party dancing to FTR's theme. Cage gets corner punches on BOTH MEMEBRS OF FTR as Dax walks into him on the apron to attack and it backfires.

COMEBACKER LARIAT TO MATT by Jack. Luchasaurus tags in and RUNS WILD ON EVERYONE. Chokeslam to Dax and Penta comes in and gets a pop-up backstabber for 2. CRAZY DIVES FROM FENIX AND JACK! Cage tags in after Penta's blind tag and eats a Big Rig to lose the fall. Christian vs. Penta will be a fun TV match. 




Kingston, and Proud and Powerful face off with 2.0 and Garcia with Kingston OVER AF. Garcia hits Roman's drive-by on Ortiz.  Santana eats the bell from Garcia and JERICHO RETURNS WITH THE BAT! Jericho working a program with 2.0 is a smart move for him because he really does need people around him to make him look good. Eddie gets pissed at Jericho coming out only when his theme played - hey, logic! 



MJF chats about Wardlow winning the upcoming Revolution ladder match to give him the title shot and Wardlow is OFFICIALLY not down with that. Smart Mark Sterling comes in and says that as part of his deal with MJF, LLC, MJF gets all of Wardlow's accolades including title shots before hyping Jade up. MJF says cool and tells him to leave alongside Spears. Tremendous delivery here. Cage calls Lucha Bros dipshits and demands a tag title match with his guys against them. AND IT'S ON!



Wardlow comes out to destroy Colin Delaney, who is fat, old, and bald. POWERBOMB SYMPHONY! Superkliq and TUE are backstage and Kyle and Adam bring up their issues in NXT, but there's strength in numbers in AEW. Good stuff that brings up the past without making it the focus. ATT is out and Lambert calls Brandi a stripper and buries Cody, so she comes out and says that he may be a black belt, but she's a black bitch and they go at it before Dustin eats a beating.




They hype up the debut on the Mothership, which I bet confuses some modern TBS execs. Jade is out in Christmas gear against THUNDER ROSA as X23. Jade rests on the corner while Rosa rolls in intensely - perfect showcase of their characters' differences. Jade catches her on the floor for a big backbreaker. Jade gets some strikes, which she's not quite good at and then eats a series of kicks in the corner. 


Samoan drop by Jade, but her knee gives out after the nip-up. KNEEBREAKER AND FIGURE FOUR BY ROSA! Rosa gets kicked into the buckle and bottled to the head by someone and Jaded ends it! Mercedes Martinez is revealed as the attacker! Wow - I thought for sure it would be Britt's crew. AEWDARKOUTTANOWHERE video shows Leyla and Kris not getting along. Britt-Riho hype video sets up Battle of the Belts.


CM PUNK IS OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN DAILY'S PLACE and looks a lot better with a shaved-down beard. He calls out Jim Ross and says he's the best to ever do it and thanks him. Wow. Punk just did more to show genuine love and respect for Jim Ross than WWE did in ages. Punk talks about Brodie Lee and says that anyone who knocks him never met him and the tribute show to him made him want to come to AEW.



Punk knocks Shepard for what he said about Brodie and calls MJF a twitter troll and he is looking at bigger things than MJF - and he wants the AEW World Title just like MJF does. Punk gets his own spotlight and Punk says that it's the end of AEW on TNT and MJF is a bigger waste of Khan money than Tim Tebow. Starks and Hobbs talk about being glad Ross is back since it lets Taz coach them again and he calls out Dante and says he can't win a damn thing. We get a recap of Hobbs destroying Dante and then see Cody beating Sammy for the TNT Title. 


Sammy comes out and we get signs before the break and then Tony is mid-ring with Pillman Jr. He says he never knew his father, but he learned from him that you only get one life - and he's not giving Malakai his. The lights go out and Malakai appears and psychs him out. Cody vs. Ethan Page is up for Rampage and Darby faces Bowens TayJay faces Bunny and Ford in a street fight and a TECHNIQUE BY TAZ video on Hook!




"THERE'S NO DISPUTING THIS TRIO" is out to face The Best Friends and OC. Love the ReDRagon theme for Fish and KOR thanks to Fish getting it before. Fish kicks Chuckie's leg on the apron. Superkick by Cole to OC and Trent gets a half and half on Cole! Demo decap kneedrop by ReDRagon gets 2! OC comes in and runs wild on KOR! STUNDOG BY OC! Double team draping DDT and German for 2.9! High low and Chuckie T hits a superkick on the ramp. FLIP DIVE BY CHUCKIE ON REDRAGON! Spear to Cole by Trentylocks! DIVING DDT BY OC GETS 2.9! 

Trent piledriver to AC and a Beach Break to AC gets 2.9! Kawada kicks by KOR to OC and that fires him up! Schoolboy gets 2 for OC! SOLE FOOD/HALF AND HALF! Cutler gets beaten up and THE BUCKS SUPERKICK and Chasing the Dragn ends it! This was a blast - great match. Not an amazing show, but very hot and cold.
