AEW Dynamite (3-18-20)

* Cody opened up the program standing alone in the ring with a microphone. The arena was dark and there was a spotlight shining on him.
“As human beings we need to stand together, and for many of us that means we have to stand at a distance. I refuse to live in a prison of fear. I feel alive and I hope you feel alive."

- Lucha Bros. (Pentagon Jr. & Rey Fenix) defeat Best Friends (Chuck Taylor & Trent, accompanied by Orange Cassidy)

Fatal Four Way
- Hikaru Shida defeated Penelope Ford (with Kip Sabian) vs. Riho vs. Kris Statlander

* Tony Schiavone interviewed “Boom Boom” Colt Cabana from ringside. Having watched the women’s match from the front row, Colt noted that Penelope Ford would be much better off without her scheming boyfriend. Kip Sabian took exception to the comment and got into Colt’s face. Sabian was shoved away by Colt, who warned Sabian that he’s a wrestler, too!

- Jurassic Express (Luchasaurus & Jungle Boy) defeat The Butcher & The Blade!

* The Dark Order: Evil Uno and Stu Grayson walk down to the ring and reveal Brodie Lee as the identity of The Exalted One

* Tony Schiavone was ringside to interview Lance Archer. Jake “the Snake” Roberts grabbed the microphone from Tony and said Lance was not here to talk. Jake said Cody better pay attention to them because they don’t play games. “To ignore us is like spitting in our face, and we just don’t have that. We won’t have that! Shut me up if you can, and I don’t think you can. So Cody, it’s time for you to stand up and meet the man. We came here for a specific reason and it has become personal. You had your chance—but now we will get your attention.”

* Le Champion Chris Jericho joins the broadcast team for the main event match.

- The Inner Circle (Jake Hager, Santana and Ortiz, accompanied by “The Spanish God” Sammy Guevara) defeat The Elite (“The American Nightmare” Cody, accompanied by Arn Anderson, Matt Jackson, and “Hangman” Adam Page, with Kenny Omega at his side)

* Chris Jericho took a microphone and celebrated with the Inner Circle at the top of the ramp, rubbing the victory into the face of the Elite. Jericho said at “Blood & Guts,” the Inner Circle would have the Elite outnumbered, since Nick Jackson was out indefinitely with an injury suffered at the hands of the Inner Circle.

There was a loud buzzing, and down came a drone, landing in the center of the ring! Matt Jackson said he had called in a favor to help the Elite.

Piano music began to play, and there, standing in the balcony of the arena, was Broken MATT HARDY!
