AEW Dynamite 1-24-24 - Suzuki vs. Copeland



Doing this is a bit later than usual due to work calling me in, but thanks to the Sling DVR, I've got it! Joe says tonight's a night where a new era begins because NOW chances for this title MUST BE EARNED! All who face him EARN A SHOT TO SUFFER! Hook comes out with a mic and says Joe won last week and he lost - and he'll see him again! "SECURITY GET THE UNWORTHY OUT OF MY RING!" Page vs. Penta is up and Penta dominates to start while Joe demands silence for the Penta chop! DVD by Page hits for 2!


Penta wants the arm snapper, but Page avoids it! Ligerbomb gets 2 for Page! Triangle destroyer attempt by Penta leads to an APRON DEADEYE AND THE MOONSAULT! Buckshot misses, comebacker doesn't AND THE BUCKSHOT ENDS IT! This was an outstanding TV match. Page wants Joe and OC wants a friends and like maybe enemies match on Rampage and the winner faces him on Collision. Maybe.


The EVP Young Bucks meet with Alex Marvez and tell him to show respect - THEIR PASSPORT NAMES NEED TO BE USED and morale is through the roof and catering is top-tier! They tell Top Flight to wear their gear and today, they'll let it slide - but in the future, it will be a fine. Trent's out to be massacred by Wardlow and fights with things like a chair to set up a half and half! Trent lands a big tornado DDT and shows how important it is to build stars up because you never think he'll win even with a 2 off a piledriver. Bodyblock into a powerslam and then powerbomb to Trent. 

Deonna and Toni Storm chat on the ramp and Toni says Deonna shouldn't be bodyshamed - THERE'S SO MUCH MORE TO SHAME HER FOR! We get a cool side by side black and white/color bit for this. Deonna says she wants the Toni Storm who slept on dojos and moved into her house when she came to America. She wants to remind her of who she is and THEY HAVE MATCHING TATTOOS! Toni tells her she can take that tattoo and shove it out of her bumhole and then Deonna armbars her! DEONNA BOOTS LUTHER AND HOLDS THE GOLD HIGH!


Mox says the BCC doesn't celebrate - they don't have the time because there's always a new mountain to climb. It's 2024 and he's here to torture anyone who doesn't live up to his standard! Taya's rack and Johnny TV are pissed about being passed over for title shots. Deonna vs. Taya is up for next week. Swerve vs Jeff Hardy is up and DAMN SWERVE IS OVER. Nana is also all over the dance. They put over Jeff disrespecting Darby and he comes out slow and a bit angry. 


Jeff gets a Russian legsweep and a dragon whip. Twist avoided by Swerve before Jeff hangs on for a modified Slingblade. TWISTO ON THE STEPS! Jeff goes up for the swanton but it misses and the House Call kick hits for 2.9! Swerve twisto meets a backslide counter for 2 before Jeff lands a jawbreaker trio! Flatliner into a gator roll brainbuster and the Swerve stomp with the Hardy pose ends it! Two out of two great matches for Jeff Hardy here - good run for him! Swerve and Page pick each other's next matches and match types!


Thunder Rosa vs. Red Velvet is up for Rosa's first Dynamite singles match since 2022. Velvet gets a victory roll double stomp before a Rosa northern lights gets 2. BASEMENT DROPKICK TO THE FACE ON THE ROPES BY ROSA! Shotgun dropkick hits for Rosa and a cradle sideslam wins it - and that's the Tijuana Bomb. Okay then - okay match. Sting and Darby are out and Sting has odd paint on his whole neck now. Darby says that Sting has had an impact on him before their time in AEW and it's due to him having to retire in 2015 and he flew to his house in Texas and they rolled around in the ring and he told Sting he still had it. 



Backstage, Matthew and Nicholas are watching hockey on a multi-Turner feed. Darby says the rankings are back and THEY'RE THE TOP CONTENDERS! Darby tells Sting that he's still got it and he's not the only one who says that - and a light chant breaks out. He's all in and they're on! Backstage, Bill and Starks thank them for FINALLY showing them the respect they deserve by being named and called champions and they accept! Starks says that it's fitting that Sting and his partner faced Starks and his partner now - because he's not making it to Revolution!


Mogul Embassy is out to get the AEW Trios Titles after losing the ROH Trios Tags. The Bang Bang Gang's entrance is over huge already. Caster raps to insult them all and they go after Billy for 2. Bowens runs wild on Leona before Caster takes out Cage with a TKO. Gunns double powerbomb Nana through a timekeeper's table and the Bang Bang Scissor Gang keeps the gold to avoid the heel bullshit! 3D hits Leona! FAMEASSER HITS! Arrival and Mic Drop end it and THE GUNNS ARE ALL ONE UNIT!


COPE OPEN TIME with Copeland in a hockey jersey - violent gentleman! KAZE NI NARE! Back and forth forearms and punches to start! Chops aplenty and Cope avoids the rope armbar. Rope spear meets a knee and Suzuki gets a rope guillotine! SPEAR THROUGH THE BARRICADE WITH THE GUILLOTINE ON! Excalibur talks about Suzuki getting most of his MMA wins via submission to put that choke over. Sting and Darby is set for two weeks in Phoenix. Fujiwara armbar is on but he escapes and a spear hits for 2.9! 


CRABWALK RNC BY SUZUKI! Unreal! CHOKEOUT TIME and Cope is purple! Copeland rolls him into the buckle and the Killswitch ends it! This was fantastic! Backstage, we get old footage of Cage in the red jacket looking on annoyed. Nice show of respect between Suzuki and Cope and this was a fun show.
