AEW Dynamite (8-22-2020)

M1: FTR (w/ Tully Blanchard) def. Private Party

- Cameras caught up with AEW World Champion Jon Moxley earlier in the day. “MJF has said a lot of bad things about me. I’m an easy target but he missed most of the good stuff. People who feel the need to talk about themselves all the time really rub me the wrong way. Because where I come from usually the toughest guys don’t have to say much. They don’t hide behind words. And you talk a lot. Which makes me wonder MJF: what exactly are you hiding? One day you’ll become world champion, but that day ain’t September 5th. I’ll tell you what’s gonna happen on September 5th—I’m gonna beat the hell out of you and split your head open with a Paradigm Shift. And the whole world will find out exactly what you’ve been hiding.”

- MJF was with Wardlow and the rest of his team at MJF 2020 campaign headquarters. He was wearing a neck brace and gripped a walker. “Genghis Khan, Castro, Napoleon—all these men were homicidal maniacs. And they all pale in comparison to Dictator Jon. Last week Jon you attacked me from behind like a gutless coward. Guess you’re too afraid of me to try me from the front. Jon, I supposed you don’t realize your unwarranted actions have consequences. Look at me, Jon. Look at the state of me. The Paradigm Shift isn’t a move, Jon, it’s an abomination!”

M2: Jungle Boy, Luchasaurus, QT Marshall & Dustin Rhodes def. Rey Fenix, Pentagon Jr, Butcher & Blade

- Eddie Kingston cheers up Butcher, Blade, Fenix & Pentagon and tells them they are not losers, join me and lets be winners

- Dr. Britt Baker warned Kip and Penelope about the dangers of exchanging saliva, as Kip and Penelope kissed one another. Baker said she could help because she is a dentist and a role model, and she was willing to give them her couple’s special discount. “Free dental care for one year. All I need is help with a little problem I have, super minor, not a big deal. Big Swole signed a contract stating she can have a match with me, however she didn’t state what kind of match. So I figure why not make it a handicap match. We’d like to cordially invite you to join our team against Big Swole. What do you say?” asked Baker, on behalf of herself and “Reba.”
Baker then added that “Reba” would do their make-up for free for a full year if they accepted.
“Yeah, you got it,” said Penelope Ford.

“On September 5th, at ALL OUT, do you accept the challenge—Jericho vs. Cassidy III in a Mimosa Mayhem Match?” asked Jericho.
“Freshly Squeezed” replied with a thumbs up.
“I think you made the right decision, Orange, and now I’d like to give you a toast, but of course I want the rest of my friends to be out here, the whole Inner Circle. You deserve to hear it from us and see it from us face to face,” said Jericho.
The Inner Circle surrounded the ring, holding bottles of Jericho’s signature bubbly.
- “Get ‘em, boys,” said Jericho.
The Inner Circle outnumbered Orange Cassidy and Best Friends and assaulted them in the ring. Jericho pulped Orange’s face with the Judas Effect elbow! The Inner Circle held up Orange Cassidy by his legs, upside down, as Jericho poured the champagne in his eyes. Together, Jericho and the Inner Circle stood over Orange Cassidy and then flipped the bird to the camera.

M3: The Elite (Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks) def. Dark Order (John Silver, Alex Reynolds & Five Alan Angels)

- Alex Marvez was backstage with FTR and Tully Blanchard and announced that next week, on a special Thursday night DYNAMITE, we are going to have a gauntlet tag team match to determine who will be facing Kenny Omega and “Hangman” Page at ALL OUT on September 5th on pay-per-view!
[ The match will start with the Natural Nightmares against the Young Bucks, and whoever wins that match will immediately square off against Best Friends, and whoever survives that is going against FTR! ]

M4: Darby Allin def. Will Hobbs
after the match Ricky Starks dressed up as Darby mocks his mannerisms then attacks Darby with the help of FTW Champion Brian Cage as Taz enjoys

- Matt Hardy attacks Sammy Guevara segment was super boring...

- NWA Women’s World Champion Thunder Rosa appeared on DYNAMITE! “If you don’t know me, let me introduce myself. Thunder Rosa. Women’s World Champion from the NWA. I come here to bring the women’s division to the next level. To actually put it on the map and get some respect that we deserve. So on the pay-per-view, I don’t come here just for scraps. I come here for your championship, Shida. So at ALL OUT, Shida, I have a request—I am here for this championship and nothing else!”

- Finals of the Women’s Tag Team Cup Tournament—“The Deadly Draw”—Nightmare Sisters—Brandi Rhodes & Allie (with Dustin Rhodes and QT Marshall) vs. Ivelisse & Diamante

TNT Championship Match
M6: Mr. Brodie Lee def. CODY (c) to become the 2nd TNT Champion in AEW history

- Dr. Sampson rushed out to check on Cody. The Dark Order came to the ring to celebrate with their leader. Tony Schiavone was down in the ring to interview the new TNT Champion—Mr. Brodie Lee!
“People like you created this monster, Tony, and now I’m a problem for AEW! With this championship comes the power. Dark Order is at the top now. Executives like you, Schiavone, created me. You held me down. You didn’t give me a chance. But when I had the chance, I knocked it out of the damn park,” said Mr. Brodie Lee.

Cody was being stretchered out, when Mr. Brodie Lee demanded that Tony leave the ring. Near the entrance tunnel on the ramp, the Dark Order swarmed Arn Anderson and then Mr. Brodie Lee booted Arn in the abdomen and punched him in the face! The Dark Order wheeled Cody back out! Mr. Brodie Lee knocked the stretcher over, sending Cody crashing hard onto the ramp.

Mr. Brodie Lee took a loaded canvas bag and swung it at Cody’s head, straight down like a mallet! Cody’s body went limp.
“I can only assume what’s in that bag,” said Jim Ross.
The Dark Order brought out QT Marshall and Dustin Rhodes, who must have been attacked backstage, and dropped them near Cody. Mr. Brodie Lee stood smiling, holding his TNT Championship! Brandi Rhodes ran out to protect her husband, acting as a human shield. She wanted all of this to stop! Mr. Brodie gestured to Anna Jay, who moved in and put a rear naked choke on Brandi Rhodes! Mr. Brodie Lee opened up the bag and emptied its contents onto Cody. The shattered and broken pieces of the original TNT Championship belt rained down from the bag onto Cody. “A new day has dawned in AEW. And what will the future hold? The world changed in AEW tonight,” said Jim Ross.
