OC goes for the Orange Punch, but Moxley counters it with a botched cutter. Adam Page then shows back up! He goes for the Buckshot, but OC interrupts it before he can hit it. Wheeler then pushes OC into Adam. Adam hits a Buckshot on Yuta, but it looks like he tried hitting Orange!

Jay White hits the Bladerunner on PAC and the babyfaces start arguing. While they do, Moxley rolls up Orange Cassidy for the win!

Jay White finally starts fighting back and tags in Orange Cassidy. He fires up before hitting his silly weak strikes. He then fires up and starts kicking for real before hitting a DDT. Yuta gets in the ring and hits a suplex. PAC then boots Jay White. Cassidy gets back in and cuts PAC off before he can hit the red arrow. OC hits a superplex!

Back from break and Wheeler Yuta is working over Jay White. OC is out on the floor still and Adam Page never came back. The fans were chanting "F*** you Yuta" at Wheeler.

Jay White blind tags himself and Adam Page is mad. He walks out to the back! Wow! Moxley tries to take advantage, but Jay is ready. A distraction from PAC, though, then allows Mox to take him down. Meanwhile, Claudio, who isn't legal, takes advantage and attacks OC on the floor.

Moxley then hits the Piledriver!!

Moxley tries to do a piledriver, but OC counters it. Hangman then tags in and starts clearing house. He is fired up. He goes after Moxley on the floor, but Marina Shafir gets in the way. Wheeler then attacks him from behind.

The Death Riders vs. Orange Cassidy, Adam Page, and Jay White

This is a big match, but there's immediate tension, thanks to Page.

As Darby recovers, The Death Riders' music hits and Claudio Stagnoli has a stare down with Darby. The rest of the group then follows behind him.

"You killed Darby" chant, but he gets in just before the ten count. Will then hits the Oz Cutter, but Darby kicks out at two! Will goes for the Storm Breaker, but Darby hits the Scorpion Death Drop. He then hits a Coffin Drop and a second one. Darby wins!

Darby Allin defeats Will Ospreay by pinfall

Great match. Darby's fingers were twitching after, which is a bad sign for his health.

Darby nearly pins Will. They hit a few counters, and Darby hits a Coffin Drop for a two-count! More loud "this is awesome" chants. Will kicks Darby on the ropes and then hits a Styles Clash off the apron! Insane!

After the break, Will is in control, but Darby starts fighting back and hits a stunner out of nowhere, but he's in serious pain. Loud "AEW" chant. Will and Darby go back and forth hitting a huge Code Red out of nowhere. The crowd erupted for that one. They begin doing yay-boo strikes. Both seem to be cheered.

Will hits repeated chops. The crowd loves this one.

After Darby hits a dive and lands on his head and neck, he goes for a Coffin Drop off the top onto the apron, but Will moves, and Darby lands spine-first across the side. We immediately cut to break, as Darby could be badly hurt.

Will Ospreay and Darby Allin start things off very even, with several stand-offs. Both are quick and show off their agility with pin attempts. They go back and forth until Will chops Darby, and he goes out to the floor. From there, Will goes for a dive, but Darby moves and hits a dive of his own, landing on his head and neck. OUCH.

Next, Will Ospreay makes his way out. Darby Allin then comes out next.

Darby Allin vs. Will Ospreay

This should be excellent.

Next, we get a vignette with Toni Storm and RJ City. She acts like she's brand new to AEW. Calls Mariah May the best in the business. She seems confused by "Timeless." She then hugs RJ and walks off. Well, okay.

Back from the break and Renee is with Ricochet. She asks about what happened with The Hurt Syndicate. He says he's confused, but calls them homies and says he won't worry about it. He reveals Will Ospreay is one of the reasons he came to AEW, including to beat him. He then turns around and goes face-to-face with Swerve Strickland. Swerve calls him "turd". Swerve says it was just a matter of time before the real "Trevor" showed his face. He calls him a follower.

Swerve says it won't work in AEW. Ricochet says he knows the real Swerve. He says Swerve didn't win the Continental Classic last year and it'll eat him up when he does this year. Swerve mocks Ricochet for being bald.

The Hurt Syndicate brawls with the two, but Lashley and Shelton are too much. They lay the babyfaces out. Shelton then grabs the TNT Championship and poses with it. He wants the gold.

Post-match, The Hurt Syndicate attacks the mysterious masked star. Shelton hits another German Suplex. MVP warns Daniel Garcia that he has this to look forward to on Saturday, and Garcia comes out immediately. He says he's not stupid and can do the math, there are three of them and one of him. He says he doesn't care and heads to the ring. Then Mark Briscoe shows up and helps Daniel!

Shelton recovers and lifts Mortos up. He hits a running powerslam, but Shelton is slow to recover. Mortos fires up and headbutts Shelton before hitting a rolling elbow.

After the ad, Shelton was in control, but Beast hits a quick pin for a near fall. MVP reveals Shelton had a recent minor procedure on his knee. Mortos hits a big strike and then a Whisper in the Wind variation for a two count.

MVP is good in the new role as a commentator. They should have him do it more often.

MVP is on commentary as these two start things off. Mortos hits some strikes, but Shelton throws Beast around. Mortos then hits a rana to send Shelton down. Shelton recovers and hits a knee to the gut, but Mortos quickly hits a Single Leg Crab and wrenches the ankle.

Shelton Benjamin vs. The Beast Mortos

How will their chemistry be?

They come in the ring and surround him. Ricochet brags about what he's been doing lately, but he is clearly intimidated. MVP asks about the card they gave him. Lashley grabs Ricochet's face and they rip the card up. MVP says nobody likes a kiss butt and Ricochet runs out.

Next, Tony Schiavone welcomes Ricochet. He asks about Ricochet's recent attitude when The Hurt Syndicate interrupts! Bobby, Shelton, and MVP are all out! This should be interesting.

Next up, we get a promo from Mariah May. She addresses Thunder Rosa. Mariah takes down women's division while praising herself. She says if she had been here four years ago, Rosa wouldn't have even been hired. She then accepts a Tijuana Street Fight against Thunder Rosa at Worlds End. She asked if failure runs in the family.

Shibata goes for a running kick on Wayne, but Christian holds the boot. Nick Wayne gets a near fall. Meanwhile on the floor, Kip attempts to attack Hook, but Hook takes him out before slamming Christian on the floor!

Shibata then locks Wayne in the sleeper and this one should be over. Instead, Kip causes a distraction, as does Mother Wayne. Christian then hits a Killswitch on Shibata and rolls Nick Wayne on top for the three count. Cheap!

Nick Wayne and Hook are back in the ring together. Nick tries to choke Wayne out, but Wayne keeps getting to the ropes. Christian then attacks Hook's bad arm from behind!

Hook is writhing in pain. He might be hurt badly.

Hook having the cast means he has a weapon he can use legally. Shibata and Christian go back and forth, but Shibata has Christian scouted. Eventually, Hook decks Christian and sends him to the floor onto Nick Wayne. Hook and Shibata celebrate and high five each other.

Back from break and Hook and Shibata make their way out. Hook has a cast on his hand.

Hook and Shibata vs. The Patriarchy

Hook wants revenge. Hook starts things off with Nick Wayne and they just wrestle normally despite the supposed hate between them. That's kind of odd. Christian and Shibata then tag in and lock up.

From there, Christian Cage comes out with Nick Wayne, Nick Wayne's mom, and Kip Sabian. They will be in action after the break.

He calls Adam freakishly small and yellow. Eventually, Adam Cole shows up on the big screen. He says he had a meeting with Tony Khan.

Adam says two men will be there, Matt Taven and Mike Bennett. He calls MJF a deadman and he will finish it at Worlds End. He then asks if he's beating MJF up yet and.. he's standing behind MJF! They fight and MJF goes running!

Next, MJF makes his way out with a microphone. He trashes the Washington Wizards. He says Santa isn't real despite kids potentially being in the crowd. A "Santa' chant starts.

Mercedes celebrates in the ring before we go to an FTR promo. They talk about being attacked by The Death Riders. They say they agree with their message that AEW needs a change, just not their methods. They then reveal they're not cleared for the rest of the year, but they'll be coming for them and they're not coming alone. Could it be Adam Copeland?

Anna Jay locks in her submission and the crowd is ready for a title change. Mercedes counters it into the Bank Statement and Anna temporarily turns it into a pin, but Mercedes kicks out. Both try for a move, but it doesn't work. Mercedes then hits a Sunset Bomb into the corner, double knees, and hits her Mone Maker for the win!

Mercedes Mone defeats Anna Jay by pinfall

Back from break and Mercedes was in control, but she missed double knees in the corner and suffered a blockbuster neckbreaker for her trouble! Matt Menard is very pro Anna, telling her to beat the champion. Anna hits her running corner leg attacks and then throws Mercedes off the ropes to the mat before hitting a Gory Bomb! Mercedes uses the ropes to kick out at two.

Mercedes takes control and the crowd is split. "Let's go Anna" and "CEO" chants go back and forth. Small crowd, but they are lively tonight.

AEW Dynamite begins with commentary running down the card and revealing The Death Riders vs. Hangman Page, Jay White, and Orange Cassidy is the main event.

From there, Renee interviews Jay and Orange. Jay takes the interview attention immediately, causing tension between the two. Jay says his focus is on the AEW World Championship, but he has no Bang Bang Gang so he has to rely on the likes of Cassidy and Page.
