AEW Dynamite Results: Massive brawl ends show, Iron Man match, huge debut announced

#5 Arn Anderson turns on Cody

One of the most hotly-awaited matches at AEW Revolution will see Cody finally squaring off against MJF. This feud has been boiling for months, ever since MJF turned on Cody at Full Gear. Cody has had to earn this match by going through with the stipulations MJF presented. Cody first took 10 lashes at the hands of MJF and then proceeded to beat Wardlow inside a steel cage.

Cody will finally get a chance to let out months of pent up rage and frustration when he stands in the ring opposite his arch-nemesis. However, although most fans expect Cody to win this match, AEW could throw us a curveball.

If MJF is to win, the best way to do it would be to have Arn Anderson turn on Cody. We already know about the history between the Four Horsemen and Cody's late father Dusty Rhodes. Arn turning has already been teased during the cage match, where Arn ended up hitting MJF with the door of the cage.

If Arn does turn on Cody and align with MJF, that will open an avenue of interesting possibilities.

#4 Jake Hager squashes Dustin Rhodes

Jake Hager will make his in-ring debut for All Elite Wrestling at Revolution where he goes head-to-head against former WWE and WCW star Dustin Rhodes. Rhodes has revitalized his career since signing with AEW last year and looks to be in the best shape he's been in years.

This match is another one that has been built up for months. Hager attacked Dustin Rhodes backstage ahead of Full Gear and left him with his arm in a cast. Rhodes will finally get his shot at Hager in a singles match tomorrow night.

Most AEW PPV matches are usually pretty long but this is one where we can see AEW surprising us with a squash. A quick finish will help cement Hager as a force to be reckoned with and make him look like a monster. As for Dustin Rhodes, he's a legend, and a squash at Hager's hands won't hurt him one bit.

#3 Hangman Page doesn't turn on The Elite......yet

One of the best storylines heading into Revolution has been Hangman Page slowly turning on The Young Bucks. AEW have been slowly teasing this for months and matters came to a head during the interview on last week's episode of Dynamite.

Things got heated between Page and The Young Bucks during the interview, with the Bucks saying Page used to be a jobber in Ring of Honor at one point. This got to Page and he ended up storming off before the interview ended.

Most fans expect something to happen at Revolution, with Page turning on The Elite or something along those lines. AEW could use this to subvert expectations. Instead of Page turning on The Elite at Revolution, this could be done on Dynamite, with Page being booked to take out his former friends when they have their guard down. This storyline has a lot of potential and AEW are doing a great job so far.

#2 Chris Jericho finds a way to retain the AEW World Championship

The main-event of Revolution sees Chris Jericho defending the AEW World Championship against Jon Moxley. This is another match that has been in the making for months. The Inner Circle have been laying out Moxley for the last couple of weeks and things didn't go well for him during the weigh-in segment on this week's Dynamite.

Moxley has a ton of momentum behind him right now and a lot of fans expect a title change this Saturday. However, Jericho's title reign is going really well and still has steam behind it. Jericho is still at the top of his game right now and has helped put the promotion on the map since its debut. The man is a wrestling genius and has proved it repeatedly.

There's a good chance that AEW chooses to have Jericho continue his run by beating Moxley but obviously it shouldn't be a clean pin. There are a number of ways AEW could do this and we take a look at once such way in the next page.

#1 Lance Archer costs Jon Moxley and joins the Inner Circle

AEW have already announced that former NJPW star Lance Archer is headed to the company. His debut is slated for the next episode of Dynamite but if it's possible, AEW could surprise us with Archer making his debut on Revolution tonight.

Archer could come out near the end of the main event and take out Jon Moxley during his match against Chris Jericho. After helping Jericho retain his title, Archer could then reveal himself to be the newest member of The Inner Circle.

This would be a good way to keep Moxley strong in defeat and continue the feud, while having Archer as an Inner Circle member could help establish his character with fans.

Moxley and Jericho's feud over the world championship has been one of the best things going on Dynamite in recent months and the feud can still continue till the next PPV if AEW choose to do so.
