AEW Dynamite Results (9th February 2022): CM Punk interrupts The Pinnacle's celebration

AEW Dynamite kicked off with members of The Pinnacle coming down to the ring. Justin Roberts then introduced MJF, who came down to the ring on a palanquin. The Pinnacle then celebrated in the ring together, although Wardlow wasn't as enthusiastic as the others.

MJF then took the mic and said that he beat CM Punk twice in Chicago so he was better than the Best In The World. MJF said that the moment was a little bittersweet since he beat his childhood hero so he told him "You suck" after the match.

Punk then thanked Shawn Spears for helping him beat CM Punk, and once again Wardlow didn't look impressed. MJF then added that he was setting his sights on becoming AEW World Champion.

CM Punk then came out on the entrance ramp and announced that he had brought some friends with him. Punk had Darby Allin and Sting with him, who came out with baseball bats. Punk then said he wanted a rematch against Wardlow and then told Mr. Mayhem to leave the rest of The Pinnacle with him.

MJF said that if CM Punk could find a tag partner and beat FTR, he would give him the rematch. However, MJF's stipulation was that Punk's partner could not be either Sting or Darby Allin and it had to be someone else from the AEW roster.

The Blade blindsided Wardlow from behind, going after his knee on AEW Dynamite. Wardlow was favouring his knee but hit Blade with multiple belly-to-belly suplexes. The action spilled out to ringside as Wardlow sent The Blade back-first into the ring post. Wardlow sent his opponent crashing into the ringpost once again, this time shoulder first.

Back in the ring, Wardlow was still having trouble with his knee. The Blade hit back with a knee to the jaw but this just incensed Wardlow. He hit The Blade with a powerbomb as the fans chanted for a second, and Wardlow obliged.

The Powerbomb Symphony continued with two more devastating powerbombs, after which Wardlow pinned The Blade.

The Inner Circle Team Meeting on AEW Dynamite

The Inner Circle came down to the ring on AEW Dynamite without Santana and Ortiz. Chris Jericho said that he hadn't seen Santana and Ortiz all day when their music hit.

Jericho demanded to know why Santana and Ortiz didn't tag him in in their match two weeks ago. Santana replied that he felt that Jericho only cared about himself, adding that whatever they had focused on had been for the betterment of Le Champion.

He added that whenever he and Ortiz had a chance to advance themselves and go for gold, they were forced to pivot and come to help Chris Jericho.

Santana added that they didn't have a bigger spotlight because of Jericho but it was the fans who kept them going. He added that if it hadn't been for Ortiz, he would have dropped Jericho long ago.

Chris Jericho asked Santana what Eddie Kingston had ever done for him. Jericho said that unlike Kingston, he was the influencer in AEW and since he had brought them in, they had made more money and had been in more main events than before.

Jericho added that Santana and Ortiz had had their shot at tag team gold but they had come up short. He added that he had brought Santana and Ortiz into the Inner Circle and he could kick them out as well.

Santana and Jericho came to blows and were pulled apart by Sammy Guevara. Sammy said that he didn't know what was going on but the Inner Circle was family. He said that until Jericho and Santana could figure out their issues again, he was quitting the Inner Circle again.

Ortiz then challenged Jericho and Hager to a tag team match next week on AEW Dynamite. Jericho replied that after he and Hager smacked them around, they would have a shift in attitude.
