AEW Dynamite is a taped show tonight from the OVO Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland.
Featured below are ongoing results, beginning at 8/7c.
Bryan Danielson Kicks Off The Show
The show kicks off with the introduction of Bryan Danielson. The crowd goes wild as “The American Dragon” makes his way down to the ring, leading “YES!” chants, as he settles in at ringside to handle color commentary in the absence of Taz.
Will Ospreay Opens Things Up
Now the real opener kicks off, as Will Ospreay’s theme hits. “The Aerial Assassin” comes down and settles in the ring on the microphone to loud chants of his name. Ospreay says he’s had an awful month and he knew he could count on them to lift him up.
Ospreay claims he isn’t cleared for Sunday, but it doesn’t matter because it’s an unsanctioned match. The Death Riders then come out and end up attacking Ospreay, before JetSpeed and Hiroshi Tanahashi come out to make the save. This leads into our opening match.
Hiroshi Tanahashi, Mike Bailey & Kevin Knight vs. Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta & Claudio Castagnoli
The bell sounds to get things started. After a couple of minutes of back-and-forth action, the referee sees Marina Shafir get involved one-too many times, so she gets ejected from ringside. Will Ospreay comes out to a big pop to carry her to the back.
On that note, the show shifts gears and heads into a mid-match commercial break as the action in this fast-paced, high-intensity opening trios bout continues. When the show returns, we see NJPW talents The War Dogs, Gabe Kidd and others get involved.
Order is restored, but then Ospreay runs back out with a body in a body-bag. The commentators assume it is Marina Shafir. The distraction allows Tanahashi and his team to pick up the win. The Death Riders and War Dogs attack after the bell.
The Young Bucks come out and super kick Ospreay. The Opps come out to help. The Death Riders go to unzip the body bag, and out pops Darby Allin kicking their respective asses. The Opps run back out to help, and all hell breaks loose with people fighting everywhere. Allin hits a balcony dive Coffin Drop.
Winners: Hiroshi Tanahashi, Mike Bailey & Kevin Knight
Tony Schiavone Interviews Adam Copeland & Christian Cage
The show returns from a commercial break to Tony Schiavone standing in the ring. He introduces his first of two guests at this time. Out comes Adam Copeland to his legendary theme music, which the Glasgow crowd loudly sings, long after it’s turned off.
Christian Cage’s music hits next, and he gets a mixed reaction coming out. He heads down and joins Cope in the ring. Cage starts off by demanding that everyone in Glasgow sits down and shuts their mouths while he conducts his business. Cope yanks the mic away and asks what he’s doing.
Cage makes it clear that they’re not having a bubbly happy reunion, but a partnership out of necessity. He says they’re not on the same page but at this point, they’re at least both writing in the same book. They shake hands and the crowd loves it.
Nick Wayne appears on the big screen after Momma Wayne and Kip Sabian come out. Nick talks about suffering a broken foot. He claims to always be one step ahead of Christian though, and says that still is the case. Some music plays and we see a movie scene of Luchasaurus.
He sits up in a hospital bed, ala Frankenstein, and pops up and is back to life. Inside the arena, the theme hits and out comes the monster-man himself to a mega-crowd reaction. He hits the ring and takes out Copeland and Cage. Kip Sabian and Luchasaurus will now face them at Forbidden Door.
Mark Briscoe Is Looking For MJF, MJF Is Looking For Help
We go backstage with Mark Briscoe. He said he was coming after MJF. We head to a commercial break. Back from the break, we go backstage with Ricochet and Gates of Agony. MJF comes in and says that his enemy is looking for him. MJF is looking for help. Ricochet says he has a deal. They tell the camera man to get out.

Hangman Page’s theme hits, and out comes the AEW World Champion for the advertised face-to-face with MJF. He makes his way out and down to the ring to a great reception. He walks quickly to the ring with purpose. Page says that last week he was jumped from behind in the parking lot by MJF.
Page says that it is a waste of time to call out MJF…he is an insecure and gutless coward. Page says that there will be nothing underhanded and he will shove his size twelves up his checked a–! The music of MJF hits. So far no MJF, as the fans boo.
