AEW Dynamite 5-29-24 - Saraya vs. Mariah May

It was a tiring day at work still recovering from a cold, but rewarding as my controller arrived early and I've gotta say - going between the Razer Wolverine and Victrix BFG Pro, I'd put the Wolverine above it on comfort level and responsiveness too. I prefer the build quality of the Victrix, but it being so modular without replacement parts makes it tough to recommend over the Razer. The CEO is out for her celebration to start the show. She just shimmies and dances and is HER! She talks about celebrating 5 years of AEW and THE IN-RING RETURN OF THE GOAT - ME!

She wants Willow to kick the asses of Kris and Stoke when she returns BUT NOW BACK TO THE CELEBRATION! Skye Blue reveals that she's the one who took Mercedes out and she TKOs her! Ex talks about the TNT Title's fate being in the EVP's hands tonight before saying that Okada is international champion when he's Continental champ. MAYBE they have too many belts... Swerve vs. Killswitch is up and starts off with Swerve kicking his leg out a bit before gator rolling him to the apron and a twist and shout neckbreaker off the apron!

Swerve locks on a nice triangle that I've gotta give him in 2K - nice and tight elevated up too. A leg kick sets up the kneeling European uppercut for 2. Rolling thunder flatliner meets a headbutt and chokeslam before Nana stops a chairshot and gets the chair punched out of his hands by Killswitch. A Swerve stomp off the apron opens a door for the champ! DEADMAN RISE BY KILLSWITCH! House call! SWERVE STOMP GETS 2.9! ANOTHER HOUSE CALL GETS A KNOCKOUT WIN! Loved this match! Swerve cuts some hair off the mask as a trophy just like he had done to him. BIG DWAYNE ENERGY AD!

The Learning Tree is up with the cheapest-looking set since the lowest of TNA's budget days. He thanks his branches and brings out Bryan Keith. HOOK BEATS UP GOONS before casual floral wear Joe chats with him! We get an odd quick video of Mox and then maybe a Stephanie Vaquer video? Yes?! Yes, she will be at Forbidden Door!

Bulldog choke turned into a Penta arm snapper by Romero! DEATHRIDER ENDS IT!

Don Callis reminds everyone he has something important to say amidst all the boos. OC is out and Don attempts to do the thumbs up and Don puts him over huge before OC rips it up! Stoke is out as AEW'S NUMBER ONE HATER! Mone vs. Blue is up and Mone does a run-up tornado armdrag. Sunset flip into a meteora by Mone gets 2! Mone maker ends it. It's...a finish I guess. Vaquer stares her down afterwards. STOKE HYPES UP KRIS being tough enough to get back to back knee surgeries and THE NEW IMPROVED KRIS STATLANDER IS HERE! She cuts a killer promo about everyone using her as a protector - but now they need protection from her!

The Elite comes out and celebrates their win while Okada calls them all bitches. They got Okada a new Lambo! Matt gets a YOU DESERVE IT chant going for this and he goes THANK YOU I LOVE YOU GUYS! The NETWORK IS ON THEIR CASE and they need a new TNT Champion - AND IT'S JACK PERRY! Daniels returns and he is the NEW INTERIM EVP AND YOU WILL CALL HIM CHRISTOPHER AND WE DON'T GIVE BELTS AWAY and if you want to be a champion, you have to earn it! There will be a mini-tourney to determine a new TNT Champion in a ladder match at Forbidden Door! There will also be Friday Night Dynamite in LA with the tourney starting. The Acclaimed and Daddy Ass staredown the Elite. 

MJF hype video airs before Rush calls him out. GUNNS UP! Jay works Pac before Mistico is out! Ospreay works over Jay and then Pac. SHOTA UMINO ATTACKS OSPREAY! LIO RUSH DARTS AROUND WITH CLAUDIO! Claudio runs down Rush with a lariat and OC is out IN A BLACK SHIRT and busted up. OSPREAY AND OC GO AT IT with Will not hitting the Blade outta nowhere. Fastball knee strike to Orange, but the Orange punch hits! Sleeper suplex by Jay but THE HIDDEN BLADE HITS! OSCUTTER TO ORANGE AND OSPREAY GETS THE AEW WORLD TITLE SHOT AT FORBIDDEN DOOR! All right, so Ospreay loses there and then you want it that much more for ALL IN - good stuff. Weird show at times, but it felt more like vintage Dynamite than it has in months.

AEW Dynamite 5-22-24

 Well, it's been an early-out work week and that's resulted in a lot of gaming and maybe a bit of writing tomorrow too! Double or Nothing is coming up on Sunday and this is a fairly loaded lineup too. A new Mad Max-themed intro video airs with Callis on commentary again. OC and Ospreay are up against Strong and Trent! Trent and OC brawl on the floor while Roddy and Ospreay do glorious battle in-ring. Turnbuckle gutbuster from Strong to OC! Trent wants a piledriver on the steps, but OC saves!

Bang Bang Gang is out and Jay White is such an awesome promo. The Gunns have a wagon for the gold - which is a nice homage to Brian Christopher in the USWA.

That should be a title change.

FTW 3-Way eliminator is up with Jericho on commentary. Keith clubs away at Hook before Hook gets Redrum on him, but Shibata locks on a sleeper on Hook! USHIGOROSHI BY SHIBATA!

Christian darts out and steals a car before NANA BLOCKS HIM! DDT ON TOP OF THE SUV! CONCHAIRTO WITH THE HOOD! Cage avoids it and leaves.

AEW Dynamite 5-15-24

 

Dynamite is live from the near-hometown of Bryan Alvarez - EVERETT, WASHINGTON! It's also new WWE 2K24 DLC day and it has been a blast playing as Terry Funk and adjusting Punk's moveset  bit too. Fittingly with Funk, MOXLEY STARTS THE SHOW OFF! Mox and Danielson face off Cobb and Fletcher - which should be fantastic. I may have to delete Ahmed Johnson in the PS5 2K24 and then put him on PS4 to put Cobb on PS5. Mox gets jumped and Danielson runs down to save in his home state! We get a mini Anarchy in the Arena brawl before a countdown clock for Swerve vs. Cage to start off hour 2.

Cobb eats the corner kicks from Danielson and then a figure four on Cobb opens the door for a tag and a Mox elbow for 2. Danielson runs wild with a shotgun dropkick and a corner dropkick before landing the kneeling kicks but the buzzsaw kick is met with a shove and a low-bridge to Cobb. SUICIDE DIVE TO FLETCHER! Danielson leapt right into a sidewinder suplex! CORNER UPPERCUT BY COBB into a rotating tombstone by Fletcher for 2.9! Now Mox vs. Fletcher would be a fun WGP Title match. Roundhouse kick by Danielson, Mox gets the Death Rider on Fletcher and it's over! THAT RULED!

Takeshita jumps Mox with a German and a kneeling giant elbow! Claudio ran down for a save just a wee bit too late - but it would logically take more time to get a giant crowbar. Swerve's media rounds are shown and make him feel like a bigger deal. Cope comes out and gets jumped by King and Buddy! Malakai gets a shut the fuck up chant and he tells Buddy to take his wedding ring after a chokeout. We see Kingston get hurt and the Bucks say that Eddie mighta got bit by the injury bug! Okada tells Dax that he'll take him out, BITCH!

Bucks Reebok ad airs with Okada being wacky before the Bucks are out for their match and Jack Perry is on commentary and demands some goddamn respect! Daniels talks shit and Sydal lands a corkscrew senton! NICK HITS A DOUBLE SLEDGE ON SYDAL! Iron Claw ad. The Bucks win and Matthew says that they're here to clean up the office from all this toxic behavior and now their hand has been forced - DANIELS HAS BEEN FIRED! But they're not heartless - they're gonna pay him for 30 days and they're even paying for an immediate security escort! I bet that immediate security escort was pricey - hopefully they don't take that expense out of Daniels' last check.

Harley's goons are banned from ringside AND TONI HAS WORDS OF WISDOM. "Thank you for knocking me out so I didn't have to listen to another second of your sob story!" "You can bet your bottom dollar ON THIS WHORE THAT YOU ADORE that everything is coming up Chin. Tits. SHOE!" "You'll be in Vegas flat on your back with an ass in your face, wondering where your dignity went!"

Malakai chats about the wedding ring and now he's excited that evil still lurks in his heart and if he beats Copeland, then Cope bends the knee to the HOB. HOOK is here to massacre Sebastian Wolfe. High crotch lift exploder before crossfaces and Redrum! HOOK says he's not here for this, he's here for his title and Jericho! They jump Hook and SHIBATA MAKES THE SAVE! Swerve walks backstage for a single shot and welcomes Brian Cage to WHOSE HOUSE! 

It starts off quick with Swerve going for fast-break offense and getting the rolling thunder flatiner, but eating chinlocks and the draping superplex by Cage! TEEP BY SWERVE, but Cage responds with a missed right and a left-arm lariat! Apron-draping SWERVE STOMP TO THE FLOOR! Cage eats a few forearms and Swerve wanted a stomp, but got a powerbomb. ARM SNAPPER TO CAGE! HOUSE CALL HITS AND ENDS IT! Nick Wayne jumps Swerve with a lowblow when Christian and Shayna distract. Nick smashes a photo of Swerve's family over his face and then Christian comes down. Christian rubs the photo in Swerve's blood and in two weeks, he takes the title.

Backstage, Hook and Shibata chat with Renee and Hook says he'll beat anyone to get his title back. Shibata's Google Translate gimmick asks if he'll even beat him if he needs to. Shibata's Google Translate gimmick is a better promo than Hook. YES CASUAL MALE SAMOA JOE IS HERE! Shibata's Google gimmick says that Joe's too large to be wearing a floral pattern. TIMELESS TONI STORM vs. Harley Cameron is up - it's the queen of the talkies versus the queen of the titties!

Toni gets a fisherman suplex for 2. Eat Defeat by Cameron! Sky high by Toni gets 2. Storm Zero ends it! Ospreay talks to the Undisputed Kingdom and says they're all Bellends and calls Wardlow the Big Veiny Bellend and Will says that he's never been respected by Strong. Strong says that yeah, he's an idiot out of the ring. He's still an idiot, a child and a fraud! This was outstanding.

Mercedes and Willow meet mid-ring and Mone says that money changes everything. In 2015 in Brooklyn, she changed the game forever! SHE KICKED DOWN DOORS AND BROKE GLASS CEILINGS - there would be no Willow without her!  Willow says hey, the last time they wrestled, she walked out a champion and Mercedes didn't walk out at all! Willow lays her out with the doctor bomb! Dax vs. Okada is the main event! 

Draping DDT to the floor from the barricade to Dax! Dax wants the Ultimo slingshot Ligerbomb, but Okada ranas into a cradle for 2 after a Dax counter. DAX COUNTERS A TOMBSTONE WITH A TOMBSTONE! Rainmaker countered into a sharpshooter by Dax! Low blow and the rainmaker end it before the Elite jump everyone AND DARBY MAKES THE SAVE! NO ONE LET HIM DO ANYTHING UNTIL THE PPV!
