03:06 (GMT)23 JAN 2025

The Death Riders then come out and surround Cope. They beat him down! Then Jay White's music hits, and he makes his way out for the save! He fights off Claudio and Wheeler in the aisle. He then takes out PAC, too. Moxley tries to level Jay, but Jay goes for his finisher. Wheeler cuts him off, and they attack Jay now, too.

Moxley then locks in his choke on Cope until he passes out. The Death Riders then head out. 

03:03 (GMT)23 JAN 2025

Cope manages to get out of it and then he hits a Spear to PAC's lower back followed by a second Spear. He then hits a TKO Cutter for the win.

Cope defeats PAC by pinfall

That was a long match and kind of dull, sadly.

03:00 (GMT)23 JAN 2025

PAC hits a strike and then a boot to the neck followed by a German Suplex. The referee pushes PAC away to check on Cope and his neck. He might be seriously hurt.. 

PAC then locks in the Brutalizer! Cope is in trouble!

02:59 (GMT)23 JAN 2025

PAC is in full control after the break. He hits a snap suplex, but Cope fights back with a front dropkick. He starts to get the upper hand and nails PAC for a near fall. Commentary loses focus and the crowd is quiet. They go over upcoming matches. 

The two go back and forth and Cope finally hits the Impaler, but neither guy can move. They recover and PAC counters a Fireman's Carry into a choke.

02:50 (GMT)23 JAN 2025

PAC runs back out of the ring and kicks out PAC's knee. He then takes a shot at Copeland's neck. From there, he repeatedly stomps the infamously bad neck of the former WWE Champion. He then hits a dive onto Cope as we go to break. 

02:49 (GMT)23 JAN 2025

Things start off very slow and the crowd is quiet, but they heat it up eventually and go out to the floor. Cope slams PAC against the steps and then the barricade. Crowd loudly chants "one more time", but Cope suplexes PAC abdomen first on the barricade instead. Cope then smashes PAC against the announce table.

02:45 (GMT)23 JAN 2025

Next, we get a vignette from Buddy, Brody, and Julia. It says they had a voice guiding them for years, but that voice has gone silent. Now they say they are leading themselves, no leaders, no rulers, no gods. Just violence. Another sign Black is gone from AEW.

02:40 (GMT)23 JAN 2025

Swerve Strickland cuts a promo angrily backstage. He challenges Ricochet to a match two weeks from now in Atlanta before threatening to maybe get to him sooner than that. 

02:37 (GMT)23 JAN 2025

Hobbs cuts a promo and makes it clear he's ready for the Learning Tree.

Notably, Hayter had mentioned Julia Hart was all alone. Not only does this point toward the House of Black breaking up, but it may be another sign Malakai Black is gone.

02:36 (GMT)23 JAN 2025

Julia's theme changed from "the house always wins" to "the Hart always wins," which further teases a House of Black breakup. Post-match, Jamie shows Julia respect. She mentions everything Julia has done to her but calls her a "tough b****" before saying they both won one, so if she wants a rematch, she'll be waiting.

02:34 (GMT)23 JAN 2025

Hayter hits a spinebuster for a near fall. Julia must be okay as she counters and hits an Octopus Stretch. Hayter counters THAT and hits a backbreaker. Julia then hits a Crucifix Bomb for a nearfall. Out of nowhere, Jamie hits the Hayte Breaker and the Hayterade for the win!

Will Jamie get a win this time?

02:22 (GMT)23 JAN 2025

Backstage, we see Mercedes Mone walking with four titles now. Renee asks what she has planned next. Harley Cameron interrupts with a guitar and sings a song challenging Harley. Mercedes says she's beaten the best, but Harley hasn't even won a TV match yet, so it is a hard no. 

Additionally, Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay vs. Takeshita and Kyle Fletcher are confirmed for Grand Slam.

02:16 (GMT)23 JAN 2025

Christopher Daniels' music hits, and he comes out in a neck brace. Hangman threatens to hurt him again and Daniels says he doesn't want to fight, he regrets their issues. He says after the Buckshot Lariat and the Texas Deathmatch, his doctors have advised him to never wrestle again. Daniels says Hangman won the last match Christopher will ever wrestle.

02:13 (GMT)23 JAN 2025

Out of nowhere, Hangman Page's music hits! Commentary says MJF interrupted what should have been Adam Page's match. He yells at MJF off-mic, and they have a confrontation, but MJF walks out.

MJF says Jeff thinks he grinds and works hard enough; he'll earn more time in wrestling, but professional wrestling doesn't love Jeff anymore. He says these fans don't even love him anymore. A Double J chant starts. 

MJF says Jeff will learn it is better to make a deal with the devil instead of defying him.

02:10 (GMT)23 JAN 2025

MJF tells some enhancement talent to get out of his ring. He then mentions Jeff Jarrett and says he deserves to give every fan an apology after last week. MJF says if anyone deserves an apology it would be him. MJF says when he offered to help Jeff win the world title, he didn't do it because he believed in Jarrett. He did it because he'd be the easiest to manipulate and beat.

MJF says the fact that Jarrett actually thinks he can be a world champion without MJF's help shows he's as senile as he looks. MJF then threatens Jeff. 

02:08 (GMT)23 JAN 2025

Next, we get a New York Minute with The Learning Tree. They discuss their loss from Collision. Big Bill implies the loss was a learning moment.

01:57 (GMT)23 JAN 2025

We see Ricochet arriving late to the building mid-match. Meanwhile, Swerve takes control and delivers a big kick. His control could be short-lived, however, as we go to break without knowing what comes next. Who will come out on top?

01:55 (GMT)23 JAN 2025

A short vignette airs highlighting Megan Bayne, so it looks like she's sticking around. From there, Swerve Strickland makes his way out with Prince Nana. Next, AR Fox comes out. He hasn't been on Dynamite in a long time.

Former friends collide! They trade forearms early, and then both attempt suplexes but keep countering each other. 

01:48 (GMT)23 JAN 2025

Jeff Jarrett then calls out Jon Moxley and asks him to come out and talk. The Death Riders' music hits, but Claudio sneaks up on Jeff. He says nobody gets to Moxley without going through him first. He then warns Jeff to stay out of his business and walks away.

01:45 (GMT)23 JAN 2025

Jeff cuts a promo, saying he was given advice not to get in the gutter with your opponent. He says sometimes it's good to come back home and remember who you are. Jeff says MJF will find out exactly who The Last Outlaw is. He says they're going to settle it southern style, with no lights, and no cameras. He says he will take MJF out to the woodshed. 

Jeff says the fans have given him a gift, and he says the gift of a 57-year-old man believing in himself that he can become world heavyweight champion.

01:41 (GMT)23 JAN 2025

Next, Jeff Jarrett is asked about last week, but Karen Jarrett interrupts. She says how he acted with MJF upset her, and that's not who he is. He says he's got this and then makes his way out to the ring. 

01:37 (GMT)23 JAN 2025

We get a vignette highlighting Mariah May. Then Toni Storm cuts a promo backstage that is cut off by Harley Cameron. They really play up the Australian accents and lingo, but emphasize Harley could get a match in Australia too. Mariah and Toni will go face-to-face on Collision first.

01:33 (GMT)23 JAN 2025

Next, a video package airs hyping up PAC. From there, Jon Moxley cuts a promo backstage with Marina and Wheeler. He says Cope woke up in 2025 to a more dangerous AEW. He keeps calling him Adam Copeland, did he ditch the Cope name or is Moxley refusing to use it?

Moxley says Cope has a death wish and that maybe the next time he sees the doctor, it could be a worst-case scenario. He says he won't lose any sleep over it. Moxley says he doesn't have time for relics from the past. 

01:16 (GMT)23 JAN 2025

Kenny Omega says he should've trusted Will from the beginning. He then says it'll be him and Will vs. Takeshita and Kyle Fletcher in Australia at Grand Slam. 

The music cuts Omega off mid-promo and he asks for it to be turned off just to say his catchphrase. Awkward.

Don gets some hits on Kenny and then Fletcher dives into the crowd on Will. 

01:07 (GMT)23 JAN 2025

Kenny mentions the last time they met Will dropped Kenny on his head and took a screwdriver to him. He says Will did it to prove he was the best. Omega said that he did not think Will was better than he is now. He says it took diverticulitis to almost kill him for people to know Will existed. He then congratulated him on being #2.
