Backstage: Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks, Adam Cole

Dynamite opens with highlights from Full Gear. We cut to the back where The Elite are talking. Kenny Omega says people are already asking him when the rematch will be and he says he’s a little disgusted. He congratulates Hangman and says there are things he needs to fix and he can’t do that “here.” He asks The Bucks to “hold the fort down” but Cole answers that he of course would and Omega corrects him and says he was talking to the Bucks. The Bucks agree and they all walk off.

In-Ring: Hangman Page, Bryan Danielson, The Dark Order

The Dark Order introduces Adam Page, who comes out to a hero’s welcome from his home state crowd. Page grabs the microphone as the fans chant “you deserve it” at him but he stops the crowd and says he didn’t deserve it, he earned it which results in a “you earned it” chant. Page says he’s normally a little shy and reserved but now that he’s AEW Champion he feels like he can do whatever the hell he wants.

Page says he is still a man with a job and a boss to answer to and he reminds everyone that he said at the first AEW press conference the boss was the fans. He asks the fans if they want him to stay in the ring so they can celebrate “National Cowboy Shit Day” and that gets a “Cowboy Shit” chant. Page says he knows the title carries a lot of weight and it means a lot and a lot of responsibility and after Full Gear he knows that responsibility is now Bryan Danielson. Danielson does not make him wait any longer as he walks out to the ring.

Danielson says he came out to say one thing to Page and that is congratulations. He offers a handshake and Page accepts. Danielson says he is super excited to face Page but he has to admit that he is a little surprised and disappointed he isn’t going to get to face Omega again. Page says it’s not Kenny because he beat his ass and he did it in less than 30 minutes, unlike Bryan. Bryan says that Cowboy Shit must not mean wrestling because all he does is flap his gums, while Bryan is out wrestling every week.

Page suggests that they don’t wait any longer and do this thing tonight but Danielson says he’s ready, while Page is out here in cowboy boots and jeans. Bryan says everyone told him everyone told him that Page has a list of excuses for why he’s failed and he doesn’t want Hangman to have the excuse of not being ready for why Danielson beat him. They start shoving each other but Dark Order separates them.

Bryan Danielson vs. Evil Uno

Danielson immediately takes Uno down and goes for a Half Crab but Uno gets to the ropes. Danielson takes Uno down and attacks his arm but Uno gets back to his feet and runs Danielson over with a shoulder block. Uno hits the ropes and catches Bryan with an Atomic Drop as Danielson went for a leapfrog. Uno rolls Bryan up and gets a nearfall. Uno and Danielson exchange chops and slaps before Danielson hits a series of kicks.

Danielson works Uno over in the corner and hits a Snap Suplex before standing on him with one foot and taunting the crowd. Danielson and Uno exchange chops again but then Danielson goes nuts with uppercuts and kicks that sends Uno reeling. Danielson pie faces Uno which pisses him off and Uno hits a series of big strikes to Danielson. Uno hits a Rana and then a Leaping Neckbreaker for a nearfall.

Uno hits a series of strikes but then walks into a Roaring Elbow from Dragon. Danielson slaps the piss out of Uno repeatedly and then a pair of Running Dropkicks. As he goes for a third one Uno gets his foot up and then goes to the top and attempts a Senton Splash but Dragon got his knees up. Danielson hits a Flying Knee before trapping his arms and stomping the hell out of him repeatedly. Dragon puts Uno in a Triangle Choke and he’s out cold.

Winner: Danielson via KO (Triangle Choke)

Tony Schiavone gets in the ring and interviews Dragon after the win. Danielson says he came out to congratulate Page but because of Hangman’s behavior he ended up kicking Uno’s head in. Danielson says until he faces Page, he’s going to kick all of the Dark Order’s heads in each week. Danielson says they’re in Chicago next week and he hears there’s a Dark Order member from there. He says if Cabana has any nuts, he’ll kick his head in next week.

In-Ring: MJF, Shawn Spears, Wardlow, CM Punk

MJF makes his way to the ring alongside Shawn Spears and Wardlow. MJF taunts the crowd and calls Norfolk “Norfunk.” MJF says he checks all the boxes in wrestling and says that he is the most complete pro wrestler on Earth. He says he will start a bidding war for his services in the year 2024 (when his contract is up with AEW) and that he is the past, present and future of wrestling. He says that he could take Norfolk’s “hometown horse” and send him to the glue factor and take a “big ole cowboy shit” on his title reign.

MJF complains about the AEW rankings and says he is the one that deserves to be the next AEW Champion. He says no one in the AEW locker room is on his level but CM Punk begs to differ as he makes his way to the ring as big “CM Punk” chant accompanies him. The fans chant “holy shit,” as well.
