Pac said war was upon us. He said it was time for you (referencing Wheeler Yuta) to pick a side. He said Yuta wasn\u2019t like the rest of them. He said Yuta was a lion. Claudio said he\u2019s still the same guy. He said he doesn\u2019t understand what the problem is. He said this was Yuta\u2019s home. Shafir said something into the camera. Moxley said he prayed every night that Bryan Danielson wouldn\u2019t win the AEW World Championship. He said he\u2019s going to win that belt. He said Danielson was going to get a gift from him. He said he was going to relieve Danielson of his duties on October 12th. He said he\u2019s sending daddy home for good.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014They showed a wide shot of the arena as Excalibur introduced the 5th Anniversary show of AEW Dynamite. Excalibur was on commentary with Tony Schiavone and Nigel McGuinness who was filling in for Taz. Excalibur said they will touch on the Taz situation in a moment. Excalibur thanked the viewers for tuning into AEW Dynamite for the past five years. Excalibur said they are starting things off with one of the most highly anticipated matches.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Ricochet made his entrance for the opening match.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-807029128\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\u2014Will Ospreay was chatting with Kyle Fletcher backstage. Don Callis appeared asking Ospreay what happened in the AEW Tag Team Title match at Grand Slam. Ospreay said he had to go focus on his match. Callis said he and Fletcher had a flight to catch. Callis and Fletcher left. Konosuke Takeshita and Ospreay had a brief stare down. Ospreay left. Takeshita had an interesting look.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(1) WILL OSPREAY vs. RICOCHET \u2014 AEW International Title Match<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ricochet and Ospreay began with a great counter exchange as they recopied their spot from their NJPW Best of the Super Juniors spot to a standing ovation from the crowd. Ricochet caught Ospreay with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Ricochet took control hitting a tope sending Ospreay crashing into the barricade. Ricochet caught Ospreay with a leaping hurricanrana off the barricade. Ospreay responded by nailing Ricochet with a handspring kick. Ospreay followed by hitting a springboard forearm for two. Ricochet responded by hitting a pair of running forearms for two. Ospreay responded by catching Ricochet with a standing Spanish Fly for two. Ospreay went for an OzCutter but Ricochet shoved him off the ropes. Ospreay and Ricochet exchanged strikes on the ring apron. This led to Ospreay catching Ricochet with an OzCutter on the ring apron. [c]<\/p>\n<p>Ospreay and Ricochet exchanged strikes returning from break. Ricochet went for a super hurricanrana but Ospreay landed on his feet in a fantastic spot. Ricochet caught Ospreay with an OzCutter for two. Ricochet went for a 450 Splash but Ospreay moved. Ospreay called for Hidden Blade but Ricochet countered into a Backslide Bomb. Ricochet followed by hitting a jumping piledriver for two. Ricochet connected with a Northern Lights Suplex. Ricochet maintained control but Ospreay countered into a stunner. Ospreay went for a powerbomb but Ricochet countered into a Dragon Hurricanrana. Ospreay maintained control hitting a Styles Clash. Ospreay followed by hitting an OzCutter for two. Ospreay called for Hidden Blade but Ricochet ducked. Ricochet connected with a Hidden Blade. Ricochet followed by hitting a Shooting Star Press for two. Ospreay delivered a Poisonrana. Ricochet responded with a Poisonrana. Ospreay nailed Ricochet with a Hidden Blade. Ospreay fell onto Ricochet as both shoulders were down. The referee Rick Knox counted the double pin. Justin Roberts announced the match as a draw. The crowd began booing.<\/p>\n<p>Ospreay and Ricochet both wanted the match to continue. Roberts said he got word from Tony Khan to have this match continue. Ospreay and Ricochet began exchanging strikes. Ospreay nailed Ricochet with a Hidden Blade. Konosuke Takeshita appeared rocking Ospreay with a knee strike. The crowd began booing. Takeshita took out Ricochet as well. Takeshita held up the AEW International Title. The crowd began chanting \u201cA**hole\u201d towards Takeshita.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Will Ospreay retained the AEW International Title via DQ in 19:20.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Amin\u2019s Thoughts: A very good action packed match for both Ospreay and Ricochet to showcase their athleticism on display. The match ending in a draw left you with the feeling of wanting to see more between Ospreay and Ricochet. Takeshita immediately interfering after the restart was AEW\u2019s lame way to get out of the match without having either Ospreay and Ricochet take a pin. This should lead to Ospreay defending the AEW International Title against Ricochet and Takeshita at WrestleDream. The match itself was good. The two non-finishes straight up sucked.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2014Renee Paquette was backstage with the TBS Champion Mercedes Mon\u00e9 and Kamille. Mone told the crowd to say hello to their CEO. She said was honoured to be a small part of AEW Dynamite. She then showed a highlight package which was all about her. She gloated about the video package. She said AEW\u2019s future was so bright because money changes everything. MVP appeared and handed Mercedes his business card. MVP said they should talk. Mercedes looked intrigued.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3690147692\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\u2014They aired a highlight of Chris Jericho defending the ROH World Title against Tomohiro Ishii on the 11\/23\/22 of Dynamite. We are told TV Time with Chris Jericho was next. [c]<\/p>\n<p>\u2014They showed highlights of Austin &amp; Colten Gunn winning the AEW Tag Team Titles from The Acclaimed on the 2\/8\/23 episode of Dynamite.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Renee interviewed Austin &amp; Colten Gunn backstage. \u201cHangman\u201d Adam Page appeared from behind attacking Austin and Colten with chairs.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014TV Time with Chris Jericho: Big Bill was shown inside the ring. Big Bill said it\u2019s not about the destination but who we become as people along the way. He said we all became better people because of one man. He called out Chris Jericho. Jericho came out with Brian Keith. Jericho gave congratulations for five years of Dynamite. He spoke about the new TV deal AEW signed. He spoke about making \u201cexperts\u201d look like idiots. He said there wouldn\u2019t be AEW without him. Keith led the crowd in \u201cThank You Chris\u201d chants. Jericho spoke about this being his 34th year anniversary of his wrestling career. He purposely said they were in Philadelphia instead of Pittsburg. The crowd booed. He was focused on mentoring Big Bill and Keith instead of winning titles. He spoke about bringing many young AEW talent into the Jericho Vortex. He gloated about getting as much TV time as he could. He spoke about headlining a sold out arena in Mexico. He spoke about his win over Mark Briscoe on Collision this past Saturday. He challenged Briscoe to an ROH World Title match at WrestleDream.<\/p>\n<p>ROH World Champion Mark Briscoe came out with Orange Cassidy, Kyle O\u2019Reilly and Rocky Romero. Briscoe spoke about how his dad brought them up to be like men. He said he could\u2019ve made the excuse that Big Bill helped Jericho get the win over him on Collision. He said he wasn\u2019t going to make that excuse. He put Jericho&#8217;s wrestling career over. He said Jericho should be getting a title match. He said he was going to beat Jericho at WrestleDream.<\/p>\n<p>Jericho cut Briscoe off. Jericho said Briscoe can\u2019t beat him. He said maybe his brother Jay could have. Excalibur and Schiavone both sounded disgusted by Jericho\u2019s comments. Jericho said Mark will never be as good as Jay was. Briscoe decked Jericho with a right hand. Excalibur and Schiavone said Briscoe did the right thing attacking Jericho. Briscoe told Jericho to get his brother\u2019s name out of his damn mouth. He said Jericho was going to get a Briscoe style a** whopping at WrestleDream. He accepted Jericho\u2019s challenge for WrestleDream.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Amin\u2019s Thoughts: Mark Briscoe was the highlight of this segment. Briscoe was great playing babyface not coming up with an excuse but wanting to get a win back. Mark showed the right tone when Chris Jericho brought up Jay Briscoe\u2019s name. I want to mention this about Jericho. Jericho played a huge part in the growth of AEW in the early years of the company. Jericho should get some credit for that. Jericho\u2019s current on-screen character is stale. They tried adding some heat with Jericho bringing up Jay\u2019s name. I don\u2019t have much interest in wanting to see Jericho matches. The ROH World Title being at stake doesn\u2019t do anything in wanting me to see this match on PPV.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2014They aired a Darby Allin vignette. He recalled a story about riding a bus when he was 19 years old. He spoke about three guys behind laughing at him. He said they were laughing because they were spitting the back of his head. He said he didn\u2019t do anything about it. He said he got up and saw one man holding up a switchblade and asked what he\u2019s going to do about it. He said the other people broke up the fight on the bus. He said it felt good doing something about it. He brought up how Jon Moxley said he wasn\u2019t going to be the face of AEW. He said it reminded him of the three people in the bus. He said he wasn\u2019t going to just lay down. He said it was supposed to be him and Danielson at WrestleDream. He said he\u2019s losing faith in himself. He issued an open challenge at WrestleDream. He said he had nothing left to lose.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Amin\u2019s Thoughts: I enjoy watching Darby Allin promos because he makes them sound so real and authentic. That\u2019s something that\u2019s missing in today\u2019s pro wrestling when it comes to the realness of promos. They had Darby try to cover for AEW\u2019s booking, having him explain why he put up his World Title match against Moxley. Darby tried but it didn\u2019t really work. Good to see Darby will have a match at WrestleDream. The open challenge does help build some interest for the WrestleDream show.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>(2) \u201cHANGMAN\u201d ADAM PAGE vs. JUICE ROBINSON<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hangman and Juice brawled before the match got underway. Hangman whipped Juice with a strap. Hangman sent Juice crashing into some chairs. Juice responded by backdropping Hangman onto the floor. Hangman and Juice brawled into the stands. Juice tossed a drink into Hangman\u2019s face. Juice whacked Hangman with a popcorn bucket. They made their way back ringside as the match officially got underway. They quickly went to commercial break. [c]<\/p>\n<p>Juice planted Hangman with a Superplex returning from break. Juice made a comeback rocking Hangman with jabs. Juice called for a cannonball but Hangman moved. The action moved to the floor as Juice drove Hangman into the ring apron. Juice connected with a running cannonball sending Hangman crashing through the barricade. Juice went for a flying crossbody but Hangman caught him on the landing. Hangman delivered a fallaway slam sending Juice crashing into the turnbuckle. Hangman went for a Super Deadeye but Juice blocked. Juice delivered a running powerbomb for two. Hangman grabbed hold onto referee Aubrey Edwards. Hangman nailed Juice with a low blow. Hangman delivered a Buckshot Lariat for the win.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: \u201cHangman\u201d Adam Page in 11:30.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Amin\u2019s Thoughts: This started with a good brawl and then turned into a good match on the show. Juice working a 50\/50 match with Hangman for the most part was a bit too much for my liking. I like Juice\u2019s work as a wrestler. We haven\u2019t seen much of Juice in big programs as a single\u2019s wrestler on AEW TV. That\u2019s the reason why Hangman\u2019s shouldn\u2019t be going 50\/50 with Juice. Hangman also shouldn\u2019t need to cheat to get a win over Juice. It\u2019s fine for heels to get clean wins on wrestling shows from time to time.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2014Hangman wrapped his belt around Juice\u2019s neck. Hangman choked Juice with his belt. The crowd cheered as Jay White\u2019s music played. White appeared from behind rocking Hangman with a running clothesline. White brawled with Hangman into the crowd. White delivered a running tackle sending Hangman crashing through a table. White went to check on Juice after the match.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Amin\u2019s Thoughts: I had mixed feelings watching Jay White make his return for a program with Hangman. I\u2019ve been a big fan of White\u2019s work, especially his heel work in New Japan Pro-Wrestling. AEW for the most part has done a tremendous job dropping the ball with White for the most part since his arrival in the company. This was good to see White return back to Dynamite. I\u2019m just not sure about having White placed in a program with Hangman right away. Hangman or White shouldn\u2019t be losing matches at the moment. Sometimes it feels like Tony Khan is playing matchmaker instead of someone who creates and books wrestling shows. The last few weeks of AEW Dynamite was a perfect example of that.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2014Renee was outside the arena. TNT Champion Jack Perry arrived at the arena driving his \u201cScapegoat\u201d bus. Katsuyori Shibata appeared. Shibata held up his phone saying he wants a TNT Title match at WrestleDream. Perry said he would think about it. Perry walked away. Perry returned, attacking Shibata about his bus. He accepted Shibata\u2019s challenge for a TNT Title match at WrestleDream.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014They showed highlights of Jon Moxley delivering a Paradigm Shift sending Kenny Omega crashing through a glass table on the debut episode of AEW Dynamite.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Excalibur hyped Bryan Danielson vs. Kazuchika Okada in a Title vs. Title match. [c]<\/p>\n<p>\u2014They showed highlights of \u201cHangman\u201d Adam Page and Bryan Danielson going to a 60 minute time limit draw on the 12\/15\/21 episode of AEW Dynamite.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014AEW World Champion Bryan Danielson was backstage. Danielson said he had one word going through his head \u201cF\u2014 Jon Moxley!\u201d He said this wasn\u2019t Moxley\u2019s world title. He said this wasn\u2019t his world title. He said this was the AEW World Title. He said they broke the entire system wrestling was built on. He challenged Kazuchika Okada because this is where the best wrestle. He spoke about him and Okada both winning one match. He said tonight they will find out who\u2019s the best. He said Okada\u2019s AEW Continental Title was on the line for the first 20 minutes. He said his AEW World Title and career was on the line for the whole match. He said he wouldn\u2019t want it any other way. He said this was for AEW.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(3) DR. BRITT BAKER vs. SERENA DEEB<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Baker made her entrance from the crowd and received a big hometown reaction. Baker and Deeb began with some nice chain wrestling. Baker went for the Lockjaw but Deeb rolled away. AEW Women\u2019s Champion Mariah May was shown in the crowd. Deeb responded by applying a half crab but Baker grabbed the ropes. Baker responded by hitting a neck breaker off the ropes. Deeb quickly responded, catching Baker with a miss-direction chop block. [c]<\/p>\n<p>Baker made a comeback rocking Deeb with strikes returning from break. Baker connected with a swinging neck breaker for two. Baker grabbed her Lockjaw glove. Deeb responded by catching Baker with a Dragon Screw against the ropes. Deeb connected with a powerbomb for two. Deeb went for a Stretch Muffler but Baker countered into a rollup for two. Baker connected with a super kick but Deeb responded with a lariat. Baker caught Deeb with an Air Raid Crash for a double down. Deeb caught Baker charging with a forearm smash. Baker and Deeb battled for position on the ropes. Baker connected with a Super Air Raid Crash for two. Baker caught Deeb in the Lockjaw for the submission win.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Dr. Britt Baker in 11:35.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Serena Deeb placed Baker in a half crab after the match. Queen Aminata ran down to make the save. Baker smiled towards May. They showed Mariah May looking unimpressed from inside.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Amin\u2019s Thoughts: This was Baker\u2019s return back to AEW TV after her underwhelming match with Mone at All In. The wrestling itself was fine as Baker and Deeb worked well together. The match just felt like it went five minutes too long.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2014They showed highlights of Hook challenging Samoa Joe for the AEW World Title on the 1\/17\/2024 episode of AEW Dynamite.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Renee interviewed Hook backstage. Renee asked Hook about what happened to Taz. Hook was upset and said he was coming for that person.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Christian Cage did a backstage promo gloating that he will be the next AEW World Champion.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014They showed highlights from Bryan Danielson vs. Kenny Omega\u2019s match from the 9\/22\/21 episode of AEW Dynamite.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Renee interviewed AEW Women\u2019s World Champion Mariah May backstage. May spoke about all the title matches Willow Nightingale lost. She called Willow shady. Willow Nightingale appeared calling May shady.

They brought up beating The Young Bucks and said they would do it again. He challenged The Young Bucks to a match. AEW Tag Team Champions \u201cThe Young Bucks\u201d Matthew &amp; Nicholas Jackson made their entrance. Nicholas said they couldn\u2019t have a five year anniversary show without the two guys who helped build the company. Matthew teased putting the titles on the line. He brought up their limited dates and said they weren\u2019t wasting it in Pittsburgh. Jack Perry jumped Private Party from behind. Katsuyori Shibata ran down to make the save. WWE Raw GM Adam Pierce rip-off Christopher Daniels came out announcing The Young Bucks &amp; Jack Perry vs. Private Party &amp; Shibata for Rampage.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Amin\u2019s Thoughts: Private Party just lost an AEW Trios Titles match this past Saturday on Collision. Why would anybody now care about wanting to see Private Party challenge The Young Bucks for the AEW World Tag Team Titles. This sucked and just showed how low the AEW Tag Team Division has fallen.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2014They showed highlights from Samoa Joe and \u201cSwerve\u201d Strickland\u2019s contract signing from the 4\/3\/24 episode of AEW Dynamite.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Renee interviewed MVP backstage. MVP said he wanted to make his announcement on the fifth anniversary of AEW Dynamite. Prince Nana appeared before MVP could make his announcement. Nana said MVP was talking spicy about him and Strickland. He said MVP forgot he was a former wrestler. He said he would lace up his boots against MVP. MVP said he doesn\u2019t deal with complaints. He pointed and said he did. Shelton Benjamin was wearing a suit standing behind Nana. MVP introduced Nana to his business partner and \u201cPresident of the Complaint Department\u201d Shelton Benjamin. Benjamin took a sip from Nana\u2019s coffee.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Amin\u2019s Thoughts: Shelton Benjamin is now signed with AEW. Bobby Lashley will likely be coming soon.

They showed a graphic showing this is now an AEW World Title. Okada\u2019s title was at stake for the first 20 minutes. Danielson delivered a springboard cannonball dive to the floor.

Okada connected with a Buizuku Knee for two. Danielson responded by hitting a Rainmaker for two. Danielson rocked Okada with elbow smashes. Okada responded by catching Danielson with a Landslide.

Danielson countered into a backslide and pinned Okada clean for the win.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Bryan Danielson retained the AEW World Title in 31:45<\/p>\n<p><em>(Amin\u2019s Thoughts: The first 20 minutes of this match was very slow and quite frankly got boring. You can tell Okada reverted back to his NJPW style working undercard tag team matches which were mostly dull. Okada\u2019s a heel so he played defence to not lose his championship. The bigger problem was the stipulations for this match were stupid to begin with. They also had Okada take his first loss in this match which was questionable. Okada losing to Danielson who\u2019s arguably the greatest wrestler of all time is fine. The bigger thing to question is Okada\u2019s overall presentation in AEW. Okada right now feels like just another wrestler on the show. I attended Forbidden Door live to see the first Danielson and Okada match. That felt special and like it was a PPV main event. This match was good but didn\u2019t have the specialness of the previous matches.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2014Okada gave Danielson a Rainmaker after the match. Okada gave both Claudio and Pac the finger after the match. Okada walked to the back. Claudio and Pac entered the ring. Jon Moxley came out with Marina Shafir. Moxley told Danielson this wasn\u2019t about him. He said he was fighting for something much bigger. He said he would put Danielson out of his misery years ago. Excalibur on commentary wondered who was giving Moxley instructions.<\/p>\n<p>The crowd cheered as Wheeler Yuta ran down to make the save. Yuta was carrying a hammer to the ring. Moxley entered back into the ring. Yuta hesitated but didn\u2019t attack. Danielson attacked Moxley. Danielson and Yuta cleared the ring. Yuta delivered a promo saying he\u2019s sick of both Claudio and Pac. He and Danielson challenged both Claudio and Pac to a tag team match.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Amin\u2019s Thoughts: They showed a graphic noting Dynamite has a special start time next week of 9pm. Looks like for now Dynamite will go head-to-head against the second hour of NXT. The post-match angle was fine to set up a tag team match for Dynamite next week. Moxley and Yuta having the stare down was interesting heading into WrestleDream. I\u2019m guessing Yuta will turn on Danielson and help Moxley win the AEW World Title at WrestleDream.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>FINAL THOUGHTS:<\/strong> The big AEW news came before the Dynamite show aired announcing the new TV deal with WBD. That\u2019s great news for everyone working in AEW, the fans and people like myself who cover AEW programming. AEW is a good thing for professional wrestling. WWE is a good thing for professional wrestling. It\u2019s completely fine to like both WWE and AEW. I would just like to see AEW get out of the creative funk and start focusing on building better TV shows to watch. Ospreay and Ricochet had a very good match with a dull finish. The rest of the show was mostly basic stuff. This was an underwhelming anniversary episode of Dynamite. It\u2019s great that AEW got a new TV deal. That doesn\u2019t change anything because the company still feels ice cold.<\/p>\n<p><em>Stay right here and keep the flow going.
