I’m watching on TSN2 in Canada, so there is likely to be totally different industrial breaks or split-screen moments.
The present started with highlights of final week’s present.
The introduction of Jon Moxley started the present. It was a distinct piece of eyewear masking the injured proper eye of Moxley, who's going to problem for the AEW World Title in opposition to Chris Jericho at Revolution on February 29. Nice pop for him as he made his method into the ring.
Ortiz from the Interior Circle group entered because the opponent. Santana joined his buddy Ortiz at ringside. Ortiz did a few of his tiger poses that look comical as a result of his facial features and afro coiffure.
Chris Jericho, the AEW World Champion, made his entrance with Jake Hager and Sammy Guevara.

Moxley with a working clothesline, Ortiz to the ground, Moxley grabbed a chair and so they went again into the ring. Ortiz distracted the referee, Santana grabbed the foot, Ortiz with an enziguri kick and a splash for 2. Ortiz dumped Moxley out of the ring resulting in Ortiz whipping Moxley into the metal steps.

Winner by pinfall: Jon Moxley
Evaluation: **3/four It was a stable match to place over Moxley. It went a bit longer than I'd have anticipated as a result of Moxley ought to have received in faster style, nevertheless it’s not like I used to be bored by it. I simply discovered it arduous to actually consider Ortiz may win right here, in order that hurts the match a bit. Moxley continues his profitable methods on the street to Revolution on Feb. 29 when he will get the AEW World Title shot.
After the match was over, Moxley was gazing Jericho, so Santana attacked Moxley within the again with punches. Moxley got here again with a kick to the ribs adopted by a double arm DDT on Santana as effectively. Moxley stood tall as followers chanted “Moxley” for him. Moxley took out the automotive keys from his pocket from the automotive that Jericho was going to provide him.

Hager and Guevara went to the ring to examine on Moxley whereas Jericho adopted them. Moxley went into the gang to have fun. The AEW physician checked on Santana within the ring.
Evaluation: It was payback for Moxley by attacking the attention of Santana in a way that’s like what Jericho did to Moxley resulting in the attention damage. It’s an “eye for an eye fixed” state of affairs because the announcers talked about.
The announce group of Jim Ross, Tony Schiavone and Excalibur talked about what’s to return on the present this week.
The entrances of Greatest Buddies duo Chuck Taylor and Trent occurred with Orange Cassidy becoming a member of them.
(Industrial – There was a split-screen industrial with nothing a lot actually taking place apart from Greatest Buddies and Cassidy hanging round ringside whereas interacting with followers.)

Sky knocked Taylor off the ropes, Sky with a kick on Trent and Kazarian flipped over with a sundown flip pin on Trent for the victory after about 9 minutes of motion.
Winners by pinfall: So Cal Uncensored – Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky
Evaluation: *** It was an excellent tag group match between two of the common groups in AEW that can at all times placed on a aggressive. The previous champs SCU get the win to provide them some momentum again. The Greatest Buddies group of Taylor and Trent lose practically each match they've, so it’s one other match on this present with a predictable outcome.
Submit match, members of The Darkish Order group went into the ring to assault each groups. The masked man Evil Uno joined his allies within the ring after The Darkish Order dumped the 4 wrestlers out of the ring.

Christopher Daniels went into the ring for the save with The Darkish Order backing away from him. The story was that Daniels was a high recruit for the group. We additionally don’t know who The Darkish Order’s chief is.
Evaluation: The Darkish Order group hasn’t been featured within the ring that a lot of late, however they're nonetheless an enormous a part of AEW. There are rumors about who the doable chief could possibly be whether or not it’s former Luke Harper aka Brodie Lee or Matt Hardy or possibly Daniels.
A video aired about MJF speaking about why he needs to provide Cody ten lashes to the again whereas saying it symbolizes Cody’s lies and empty guarantees.
They confirmed AEW announcer Taz speaking in regards to the ten lashes earlier within the day. Taz stated he thought MJF was taking it a bit too far, nevertheless it exhibits how a lot Cody needs to get his fingers on MJF at Revolution.
Dr. Britt Baker made her entrance for a match. She’s a heel now.
(Industrial)
Yuka Sakazaki entered as Baker’s opponent. She hasn’t wrestled for AEW since June and he or she’s 0-2 in her profession with Excalibur sharing extra data about her time in Japan.
Dr. Britt Baker vs. Yuka Sakazaki

Sakazaki with a forearm, Baker with a superkick and a neckbreaker for 2. Baker pulled the hair, Sakazaki escaped and received a crucifix pin for the victory after about 4 minutes.
Winner by pinfall: Yuka Sakazaki
Evaluation: *3/four It was okay for a brief match to place over Sakazaki. Baker is respectable within the ring, however she doesn’t actually stand out that a lot to me. A few of Baker's fundamental offense appears so weak. The end felt flat.
Submit match, Baker received the ring bell, the referee and Sakazaki weren't trying and Baker hit Sakazaki within the again with the ring bell. Baker put Sakazaki’s mouth on the underside rope adopted by Baker stepping on the again. Sakazaki confirmed that certainly one of her enamel got here out as a result of Baker is a dentist. Sakazaki had blood popping out of her mouth. Baker slapped on her Lockjaw submission with the fingers within the mouth.
Evaluation: This was virtually comical with the tooth popping out. I do know the purpose is that Baker is a physician and he or she harm a girl’s tooth as a result of she’s imply, nevertheless it was so foolish. No less than Baker is likely one of the few ladies on the present that has a personality.
A industrial aired for AEW Revolution on Saturday, February 29th.
The entrances occurred for an eight-man tag group match. The Butcher and The Blade entered with The Bunny. The Lucha Brothers group of Pentagon and Rey Fenix joined them. The Lucha Brothers are solely 5-5 as a tag group in AEW. They haven't been booked that effectively, so JR tries to cowl for the poor report by saying they will beat any group at any time.
The babyface foursome entered to “The Elite” theme music with “Hangman” Adam Web page strolling to the ring by himself whereas Kenny Omega and The Younger Bucks took their time. Web page and Omega are the AEW Tag Group Champions.
Lucha Brothers – Pentagon and Rey Fenix, The Butcher & The Blade (w/The Bunny) vs. The Younger Bucks – Matt and Nick Jackson, Kenny Omega & “Hangman” Adam Web page
This must be wild and never due to The Butcher and The Blade. Web page and Omega with some double group offense on Blade to begin the match. Matt, Omega and Nick all made fast tags resulting in quick tempo offense. The Younger Bucks hit dropkicks on all people on the opposite group adopted by Kenny and the Bucks hitting triple dives excessive onto the blokes on the ground whereas Web page stood on the apron. All eight guys went into the ring, the heels knocked The Elite out of the ring and Fenix hit an unbelievable dive off the highest onto The Elite on the ground.

Web page with a springboard clothesline, a dive excessive to the ground on Fenix and Web page hit a stomach to stomach suplex on Pentagon. Web page went up and jumped off the highest with a moonsault onto the 4 opponents that have been good sufficient to stroll proper into the right spot for that. Web page with a spinning clothesline on Pentagon for 2.

That ended shortly because the heels took the faces out of the ring, Fenix hit a Cutter on Nick, Butcher held Nick up within the air and Blade hit a shoulder deal with right into a Powerbomb.

Pentagon pinned Web page to win the match after 14 minutes.
Winners by pinfall: Lucha Brothers – Pentagon and Rey Fenix, The Butcher & The Blade (w/The Bunny)
Evaluation: **** An incredible tag group match filled with motion and chaos as has develop into the norm in these multi-man tag group matches. The story was that Web page refused to tag out when he may have and that made Web page weak, which led to Pentagon and Fenix capitalizing to get the win. The dangerous factor about AEW tag group matches is that they ignore tag group guidelines for a number of minutes at a time. The announcers even pointed it out on this match. It was good to see Lucha Brothers get a win as a result of they get booked to lose method too typically.
Submit match, The Elite guys received into an argument as a result of The Younger Bucks wished Web page to tag out whereas Omega tried to calm them down. Matt was telling Web page he had a sore knee, so he ought to have tagged out. Web page left the ring on his personal.
(Industrial – Web page grabbed a beer from a fan and drank it. Web page left by the gang. The Younger Bucks slowly left the ringside space whereas Omega went into the ring for an interview.)
Kenny Omega was within the ring with Tony Schiavone for an in-ring interview. Earlier than Kenny may say something, they went backstage the place Pac was standing by. Pac stated that this was imagined to be a contract signing, however Kenny ruined that. Pac stated clearly Michael Nakazawa means nothing as a result of Kenny left him for useless and Pac questioned how a lot Kenny cared about Riho, the AEW Ladies’s Champion. Pac stated that each one Kenny needed to do was settle for his problem. Pac stated he wouldn’t put his fingers on a girl whereas saying that he is likely to be a bastard, however he's not a beast. Pac left whereas Nyla Rose attacked Riho from behind and Rose gave Riho a Powerbomb by a desk. Rose stated subsequent week Riho’s ass is hers.
Evaluation: They arrange two matches proper there. Omega is answerable for the ladies’s division and he’s a pal of Riho, in order that’s why he wished to save lots of Riho in that state of affairs.
Darby Allin was proven outside someplace as he coughed as a result of angle final week when he had a skateboard jabbed into his throat. Allin had a blowtorch that he used to mild a Jericho/Guevara standee on fireplace.
Evaluation: It will make sense to do Allin vs. Guevara on the Revolution PPV, however I don’t know if that’s the plan.
Kip Sabian and girlfriend Penelope Ford made their entrance for a match.
(Industrial – The remainder of the Sabian/Ford entrance was proven. She’s received a pleasant physique. I’ll go away it at that.)
Joey Janela entered because the babyface opponent. Janela even received fireworks, which is a little bit of a shock. They've been constructing as much as this match for just a few weeks. Ford used so far Janela and left him for Sabian.
Kip Sabian (w/Penelope Ford) vs. Joey Janela
Janela was aggressive early, Sabian ran the ropes and hit a leaping aspect kick to the top. Janela got here again with arduous chops to the chest adopted by a stomach to again suplex right into a slam for 2. Sabian with a snapmare, a kick to the again and Janela did the identical factor to him. Janela sat down, so Sabian slapped on a chinlock as an alternative of a kick to the again. Janela got here again with a double axe to the again, a forearm to the face and a dropkick to the knee. Janela missed an assault by the ropes, then he charged and Sabian kicked him into the metal ring steps. Ford whipped the again of Janela’s head into the metal steps whereas Sabian distracted the referee
(Industrial – Sabian hit a missile dropkick off the highest to knock Janela down. Sabian with a leaping kick to the top, then a kick to the chest and that received a two rely. Sabian distracted the referee whereas Ford eye gouged Janela.)
The match returned with Sabian hitting a neckbreaker off the ropes for a two rely. Janela despatched Sabian to the apron, then to the ground and Janela hit a suicide dive on Sabian. Ford received in Janela’s face and Sabian hit a tough kick to the chest of Janela. Sabian tried an assault on the ground, Janela caught him and gave him a German Suplex on the ground. Again within the ring, Janela hit a working clothesline resulting in a flip bump for a two rely. Janela with a superkick, Sabian got here again with a backstabber, Sabian with a knee to the face and Janela hit a slam off the shoulders for a two rely. The followers chanted “Let’s Go Joey” for Janela as Joey hit some forearms and Sabian got here again with a DDT. Ford received on the apron, she kissed Sabian and Janela charged in, which led to Sabian shifting and Janela hit Ford to knock her off the apron. Sabian did the ROLLUP OF DEATH~! whereas grabbing the tights of Janela for the three rely after 12 minutes of motion.
Winner by pinfall: Kip Sabian
Evaluation: ***1/four They'd a fairly good match with the heel Sabian controlling most of it and Janela did a pleasant job along with his comeback. I just like the presentation of Sabian and Ford collectively, however he might want to hold profitable matches like this with the intention to achieve momentum and recover from extra as a heel. It’s good to see Ford getting concerned within the match as a result of another managers at ringside don’t do something and I’d reasonably see them being part of the match. The ROLLUP OF DEATH~! end seemingly means the feud will proceed as effectively.
Chris Jericho and the Interior Circle have been backstage with Alex Marvez attempting to interview them, so Jericho took the microphone from him. Jericho questioned what sort of man assaults the attention of one other man (similar factor that Jericho did). Santana, who had his left eye bandaged, stated that it’s no secret that he’s had absolutely the worst month of his life and he stated Moxley had no concept what it was like within the final 29 years of his life. Santana known as out Moxley for a match subsequent week: “Eye for an eye fixed.”
Evaluation: Moxley beat Ortiz this week to construct momentum and subsequent week Moxley will beat Santana too.
(Industrial)
“Hangman” Adam Web page was proven strolling backstage with a beer in his hand and the AEW World Tag Group Title on his shoulder when Lexi wished an interview. The Younger Bucks questioned what he was doing as they informed him to make the tag. Nick Jackson stated that should you hold this up, you’ll lose the titles subsequent week. Matt Jackson stated he is aware of what the issue is and he took the beer away as The Younger Bucks. Web page pulled out a pitcher of beer that occurred to be there and the followers cheered that.
Evaluation: The story there's that Web page’s habits has been odd, Web page is likely to be an alcoholic and that additionally makes him standard with the followers.
The announcers gave us a rundown of what is developing over the following month. Subsequent week on Dynamite (Feb. 12) in Austin, Texas:
AEW Ladies’s Title: Riho (c) vs. Nyla Rose

There was a promo from Dustin Rhodes earlier within the day saying that his brother Cody is harder than MJF thinks. Dustin stated he is aware of Cody can do that and the entire world is behind him.
10 Lashes to Cody by MJF
Maxwell Jacob Friedman aka MJF made his entrance in a swimsuit together with the same old scarf and he had Wardlow with him. It was made clear by Excalibur that Cody should do that and face Wardlow within the Metal Cage match with the intention to get the MJF vs. Cody match at Revolution on February 29.
Cody made his entrance in a swimsuit as pyro went off and the followers gave him an excellent ovation. Cody is likely one of the high singles babyface wrestlers within the firm, which you'll be able to inform by that response. It is spectacular each week.
(Industrial – Cody slowly made his method into the ring because the followers have been proven clapping for him. There was numerous staring between Cody and MJF. Cody took off his swimsuit jacket, he took off his vest and his tie.)
Cody eliminated his shirt, so he was shirtless within the ring as MJF was given a microphone. MJF stated that the belt that he was carrying was far too good to the touch Cody, so he wished Cody’s belt now. Cody took off his belt and gave it to MJF. The referee Bryce Remsburg was within the ring to rely the ten lashes. There was additionally a stipulation that Cody will not be allowed to the touch MJF if he needs to get the match at Revolution.
MJF used the belt for the #1 lash of this assault on the suitable shoulder of Cody. Some heel wrestlers made their method onto the stage like The Bunny, The Blade, The Bunny, Kip Sabian with Penelope Ford and Sammy Guevara. MJF whipped Cody within the again once more (that’s #2) and Cody stared at him. The #Three lash from MJF additionally went to the suitable shoulder and you might see a mark on Cody’s again. Arn Anderson went right down to the ringside space to help Cody and Anderson informed him he can do it. MJF took off his coat and he was in a tank high whereas telling Arn that he can’t assist Cody. MJF hit Cody within the again once more with the #four whip to the again. The followers booed loudly. MJF hit Cody within the again with the #5 lash and he informed Cody to stop. Dustin Rhodes went into the ring with half of his face painted. Dustin stated he wished to take the remainder of the lashes, MJF informed him that’s not the way it works and he informed him to get out of the ring and watch together with all people else. Dustin checked on his brother Cody, who seemed unhappy about the entire thing.
There have been 5 extra lashes left, so MJF did #6 and #7 consecutively to knock Cody off his again and put him on the mat. The Younger Bucks duo of Matt and Nick Jackson have been subsequent to examine on Cody as they walked out to the ring. Cody rolled out of the ring as all his allies talked to him. Cody had pink marks throughout his again from the lashes. Cody turned to MJF, circled and prolonged his arms as MJF hit Cody with the #Eight lash to the again. MJF informed him to remain down and known as him a bitch as effectively. The followers chanted “Cody” so Cody received again to his ft to stroll round. Cody gave MJF the center finger salute. Wardlow stated he wished a shot, so MJF informed the referee he's giving Wardlow certainly one of his lashes. Wardlow did a full wind up resulting in arduous lash to the again, in order that’s the #9 lash of the ten which are wanted to complete this. Cody tried to get again to his ft, however then he collapsed to the mat. MJF stated I assume which means he’s not getting the match. Cody was by the ropes resulting in his spouse Brandi Rhodes strolling right down to the ring to help her husband. Brandi informed him that he can do that and stated it was only one extra as Cody kissed his spouse’s hand. The followers clapped their fingers to help Cody. When Cody received again up, MJF hit him with lash #10 throughout the chest to knock Cody down once more.
The lashing was over as Dustin, The Younger Bucks, Arn and Brandi all checked on Cody within the ring. Cody may barely stand, however then when he received up, MJF hit a working kick to the groin to the knock Cody down. That drew huge warmth there.
MJF and Wardlow left by the gang, MJF and Wardlow walked up the steps to the again of the sector. A wrestler or someone received close to them and that man was overwhelmed up. Cody stood up within the ring as he stared at MJF within the crowd. That was the top of the present.
Evaluation: I believed this was executed completely as a result of it received MJF huge heel warmth for making Cody suffered by this whereas it is going to solely add to the gang help for Cody. We received to see a person get whipped ten instances, so from a narrative perspective, how are you going to not root for Cody to get revenge when he'll lastly have the ability to get his fingers on MJF at Revolution (so long as Cody faces Wardlow within the cage in two weeks). This has been constructed up slowly, the characters are in well-defined roles and they're doing a beautiful job of constructing the followers care about this. I believe a budget low blow by MJF was a bit pointless I assume you'll be able to say, nevertheless it additionally provides him extra warmth for a budget shot. I'd have simply executed a working punch to the face or one thing like that. I get that the low blow is cheaper, although.
Three Stars of the Present
- Cody
- Pentagon/Fenix
- Jon Moxley
This week: 8 (out of 10)
Final week: 7.5
2020 Common: 7.21
Final 5 Weeks: 7.5, 6.25, 7.75, 7, 6.75
Remaining Ideas
This week’s Dynamite will get an Eight out of 10.
This was an excellent episode. They did a greater job of advancing storylines and there was numerous drama in that major occasion MJF/Cody phase. You don’t see that sort of dramatic ending to a professional wrestling present that usually anymore, so kudos to all people concerned for making it work. I believe Cody actually stood in that with the best way he bought the assault from the lashes and it may make him an much more standard babyface wrestler.
I believed the match high quality was fairly good for a lot of the present. The ladies’s match didn’t do a lot for me, however not less than Baker is growing extra as a personality. I’m glad that Lucha Brothers received an enormous match since they've misplaced method an excessive amount of. A lot of the matches had finishes that made sense too. If there was one other match or two across the 4 star degree just like the 8-man tag group match then it might need received a 9 out of 10, however the Eight out of 10 that I gave it's the highest score I've given an AEW episode this 12 months.
Subsequent week on AEW Dynamite:
AEW World Tag Group Titles: Kenny Omega and Adam Web page (c) vs. SCU (Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky)
Jon Moxley vs. Santana
AEW Ladies’s Title: Riho (c) vs. Nyla Rose
The subsequent AEW PPV is known as AEW Revolution on Saturday, February 29 in Chicago. Right here’s what we all know up to now.
