Tonight's edition of AEW Dynamite ended with The Dark Order standing tall in the ring. After AEW Dynamite went off the air, the top brass of the promotion decided to have some fun at the expense of Shawn Spears.

After the show went off the air, several Superstars, as well as AEW President Tony Khan, hit Spears with Stunners. Joey Janela (dressed as Santa Claus), Cody Rhodes, Dustin Rhodes, Nick Jackson, Aubrey Edwards, and Tony all hit Stunners on Spears, as can be seen below in the clips which several fans posted on Twitter. Edwards later reposted a fan's tweet, which features the referee hitting a Stunner on Spears.
Spears made his AEW debut back in May, and competed in the Pre-show Casino Battle Royale at the Double Or Nothing event. He soon established himself as a dastardly heel after hitting Cody with a steel chair at Fyter Fest. Spears lost the feud and later got into a rivalry with Janela, after the latter disrespected Spears' manager, Tully Blanchard. This feud culminated in a victory for Spears at AEW Full Gear.
It should be noted that December 18 marks the 55th birthday of WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin. It's safe to say that this post-show segment was AEW's tribute to the Rattlesnake.

Abhilash Mendhe is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda with nearly five years of experience. He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
