AEW Dynamite 12-6-23 - Cage vs. Copeland for the TNT Title



 It's a big show from the Bell Centre with Cage vs. Cope and gold league action alongside Toni Storm vs. Skye Blue while MJF and Joe face the Devil's goons. MOX VS. RUSH IS THE OPENER HOLY SHIT! Forearms and hard chops begin things off before a belly to belly and basement missile dropkick to the neck. They walk and brawl in the crowd and Mox gets hit with a beer can. Snap powerslam on Mox gets 2. Mox hits a superplex and does a weird floating cover and always moves to get into position for the Danielson stomps that Rush avoids before tossing Mox into the barricade!



Snap paradigm shift thing hits quickly. Big superplex to Mox gets 2! Mox suicide dive to the floor hits! They come in at 9.5 to beat the count! They're back to mid-ring forearms! Bull's horns meet a king kong lariat and a death rider gets 2.9! RNC is locked in and it's over - this ruled! Rush gets up and realizes he's lost when Mox's theme is playing. 


White vs. Lethal is set up with their ROH past. Hangman is with Renee and talks about Swerve and Swerve beating him on PPV and he has lost. But at Full Gear, he took something from him that he'll never get back and they're bound forever and it's not over. He knows what Swerve wants in life and he'll ensure he never gets it before MJF yammers to him. MJF and Hangman talk about Hangman beating MJF in the DoN battle royal and they talk about title reign lengths and it's why it's so great to have long title reigns because a company with a history of under five years HAS a year+ reign to talk about. Joe tells them to shut the fuck up and stop arguing because MJF is his responsibility.







Mark Briscoe's out to face Swerve, who gets a fan doing the Nana dance. Great matwork to start off. Apron warfare leads to a gamenguri by Mark! Lots of action during the break and we come back to a Jay driller attempt that is met with the house call kick! Swerve 450 meets the knees and a cradle for 2. FROGGY BOW MEETS THE KNEES AND A CRUCIFIX GETS 2.5! APRON DVD AND THE SWERVE STOMP ENDS IT. This ruled!


Mariah May talks to Renee and she'll have her debut soon but tonight it's all about Timeless Toni! Joe's out and the goons come out with the lights down. The Devil appears on-screen and MJF is down and out! Mox chats and then Swerve interrupts - they'll face off next week at Winter is Coming. Ben Mankowitz puts over TONI STORM! Giant intro leads to Skye in distracting gear and Toni teams with LUTHA for a chicken fight head smash!




ASSALANCHE BY SKYE and then a face wash! Toni counters a piledriver attempt with a jacknife and wins! RIHO RETURNS! She sends Toni packing! Jay White vs. Lethal is up next and we get a big Cage vs. Copeland history package. Christian talks about Adam getting all the breaks and he was thrown down and had to build himself up. Jay vs. Jay is up with White working on the knee a ton. Lethal lands a suicide dive and hits a torture rack drop! HAIL TO THE KING ELBOW GETS 2! Back and forth cradles get the win for White! 










Odd getup for Justin Roberts tonight. Copeland vs. Cage is up and we get an epic intro across the board - both for intros for the wrestlers and the match itself with darkened lighting. Quick sleeper attempt leads to Cage escaping and wanting a low blow that gets his hand smashed up. Super Russian legsweep by Cope! MASSIVE TRIANGLE LARIAT BY COPE TO THE FLOOR! Cage frog splash gets 2. Cage spears meets the impaler and it gets 2! RUNNING LIGER BOMB BY COPE! Crossface by Cope and it finally looks good with him moving his legs inward a bit.







Cage leapfrogs the spear and gets the killswitch for 2! Christian ballshots the ref! Cage wants a beltshot and they then go for spears and KO each other! Shayna Wayne is here! SHE BELTSHOTS COPE KILLSWITCH AND IT'S OVER! But there's no ref, so he puts the belt on his face and sets up a neck-break and chooses to just win it. Wow! This was one of Cage's best singles matches ever.
