AEW Dynamite 8-14-24 - Shida vs. Mone



The TBS Title match is surprisingly starting the show - however, putting Mone in the highest-rated slot usually is a smart move.  Taz has opted to sting both Mercedes' theme and Shida's - so he's already got go-away heat by minute two. Shida landed a corner knee and a series of mounted punches in the corner. Leaping mid-ring knee gets 2 for Shida before a Mone backstabber! Three amigos turned into a brainbuster for 2! Mercedes uses the kendo stick as an opening to distract the ref so Kamille can boot Shida and end with the Mone maker - good match. Good setup for Hayter returning for Wembley. Kamille jumps a "fan" she thinks is Britt and Britt attacks Mone!


Hangman beating up Jeff Jarrett last week is showcased. Good promo work from the faces and Lethal eats a deadeye right away on the apron after a trifecta of dives! Death valley bomb by Page got 2! Discus lariat and the buckshot end it! HEEL HANGMAN RULES! MJF-Ospreay hype video and it feels like the real main event of the show - to the point where it should probably close the show. PAC IS MAD AT BILLY BOY FOR MAKING HIMSELF THE TOP CONTENDER - OI! Pac is angry - that is a bad thing for like everyone else on Earth right now. He wants whoever leaves Wembley at ALL OUT - okay, that's a good tie-in to the Omega match. 


Darby cuts a pretty intense piano-backed promo saying that Jack Perry being hired was a case of the Elite bringing their buddies in and who the fuck was Jungle Boy? Nobody bought the Tarzan bullshit and Darby comes out and eats a busaiku knee from Perry! They brawl on a road box and Jack traps him under a door. He wanted to toss a road case at him but was stopped and HE WANTS A COFFIN MATCH AT ALL IN!


Mariah May video package hypes up her in new ways - YOU WANTED TO BE A STAR!? WELL NOW YOU BURN! "We're both going to die - I just get to write your eulogy" - Okay, AEW is the best company for money promos since JCP. Holy shit. Mina is upset and hasn't talked to any of them and she loves them both! God bless her.



OC vs. Roddy Strong vs. KOR is up for the first spot in the casino gauntlet. Roddy dominates with backbreakers and a double dose and Bret backbreakers and a double Strong hold! The Kingdom is out and THE CONGLOMERATION SAVES and Mark dives! TORNADO BACKBREAKER TO KOR BY RODDY ON THE APRON! OC FIRES UP WITH KICKS TO KNEELING OPPONENTS! Toss-off tornado DDT BY OC AND A BEACH BREAK GETS 2! KOR gets a kneebar on Roddy and an armbar on OC! HIGH/LOW BY RODDY AND KOR! Sick kick hits OC and KOR gets a falcon arrow and OC GETS A CRUCIFIX AND WINS IT! That was an unreal match out of nowhere! KOR ate the fall and I think that will play into things easily


Okada and Claudio face off and Okada says he's the best tournament wrestler ever with four G1 wins and 12 MEN FOUGHT FOR THIS TITLE AND NOW HE'S THE CHAMPION. GOOD LUCK BITCH! Claudio says he doesn't want this bootleg Okada - HE WANTS THE G1 OKADA! I love seeing Shayna and Nick holding gold on global TV after losing Buddy and Christian is an asshole backstage and Tony says THAT AS A VIRGINIAN, NO ONE WANTS HIM HERE!


Hook is out and Jericho says he'll face him at Wembley if he doesn't face him again if he loses and he has to face Bill next week and Bill says he'll shove him up Taz's ass. TAG TITLE TIME ALREADY!? How is this show almost over? The Bucks are hyped up as the fightingest champions of all-time here in their first defense. BOWENS DIVES ONTO THEM OFF THE RAMP AND HITS A BEHIND THE BACK FAMEASSER! Nick has Billy hold a chair and Knox tosses him out. NICK KICKS MATT IN THE CORNER ACCIDENTALLY! 

HOT TAG TO CASTER and the match now has no ad breaks! CASTER WITH A SLINGBLADE! Gorilla press snake eyes! FTR prevents Bucks bullshit BUT DAX FIGHTS THE BUCKS AND COST THE ACCLAIMED THE TITLES! CD says that this wasn't a definitive victory at all and it's not over for ALL IN - and FTR and Acclaimed go at it on Collision to determine who gets a Wembley shot. Green Day video package set to "Time of Your Life" for Danielson and man does it make this Danielson run feel so much longer than it's been. 



SWERVE VS YUTA is up and this could be a PPV-level match with no ad breaks setup. Capture backbreaker by Swerve gets 2! Swerve ties him into a knot and one low-key great story they've been telling with Swerve is that HE CAN GO HOLD-FOR-HOLD WITH DANIELSON. Yuta rana into the corner! SWERVE GETS THE LEBELL LOCK ON! Yuta rolls into the ankle lock and a British escape by Swerve! Hammer and anvil elbows and the seatbelt gets 2.9 WITHOUT THE LEG HOOKED! 

Swerve eats a German and Yuta wants a cattle mutilation TWO HOUSE CALLS HIT! THIRD DEATH KNELL RINGS! AND IT'S PRIDE STOMP TIME AND THAT'S IT! Swerve slugs away and DANIELSON RUNS IN! Swerve says that he said he'd show why he is so dangerous and he'll show him that in front of 50,000 at Wembley. And your family will be there? They'll have the same view you did when you have your last match! HOUSE CALL TO DANIELSON! YES CHANT FROM SWERVE OH this is money!
