DEVELOPMENTS

• We are underway an hour late and a dollar short on MyAEW. Anthony Bowens is still trying to join the Samoa Joe-less Opps. Bowens gets pissed off and grabs a chair and tries to hit Moxley with it even though that would be the most blatant DQ ever. He proceeds to go for a jackknife pin in the ring, kickout, Bowens hits three fucking Mollywops in a row and Moxley kicks out. Fuck your finish, bulldog choke, Death Rider, thanks for coming, gay boy.
• WILL OSPREAY is now here and he levels Moxley with a Hidden Blade and full mounts him. He goes to get a chair; WHEELER YUTA and DANIEL GARCIA rush the ring to make the save for Mox with MARINA SHAFIR in tow but Will chases them off. All four are about to leave when Ospreay grabs a mic. Mox has left the Continental Championship belt behind in the ring, and it's given Ospreay an idea: at Dynasty, under Continental rules, the championship will be on the line: nobody out to interfere. Ospreay thinks it's a 20-minute time limit though which as far as I'm aware is not the case on pay-per-view.
• KAZUCHIKA OKADA backstage with MARK DAVIS and ANDRADE EL ÍDOLO. Tonight, he says, is about getting revenge for his best friend Kyle Fletcher and he cares about him, unlike Takeshita. Neither Andrade nor Davis seem too interested in getting involved in that beef.
• JON MOXLEY backstage with DANIEL GARCIA and MARINA SHAFIR. Moxley says he's not surprised by Ospreay's recent behavior, but he is surprised by the title challenge. Moxley thinks Ospreay's stupid for going into a match with Continental Rules without being at 100%. Moxley says what the Death Riders are about is keeping the sport pure. He's all about letting delusional people stay delusional, because they'll find out in due time. Moxley says Will Ospreay will beat himself at Dynasty.
• THE HURT SYNDICATE are back. Bobby Lashley in the glasses is cleared for competition, but they're looking to recruit. Business is about to pick up.
• HIKARU SHIDA HAS FINALLY RETURNED TO AEW!!!!!!! The three-time Women's World Champion has been gone from the AEW ring for nearly 500 days but she's here to face off with Willow Nightingale in this TBS Championship open challenge.
• She loses on a backslide and proceeds to hold up her kendo stick behind Willow as if to hit her with it but ultimately relents. Her frustration is visible, though, as she smashes it into the canvas repeatedly after Willow leaves the ring.
• A gaggle of security offers accompany FTR to the ring tonight.
• It's Time For ADAM COPELAND And CHRISTIAN CAGE And FTR To Speak. Security charge E&C as they come out but they still have their chairs so it's not effective. Both teams are brawling in the ring, Dax goes for a piledriver on Christian who counters out, low blows him, bites Cash's head, and Copeland hits the Impaler. They go to Conchairto Cash but Stokely grabs the chair before he powders and hides behind London Lightning on the floor. Security rush the ring and they eat a Killswitch, spear, and Conchairto. I guess nobody spoke after all. Most tolerable FTR segment
• BRAWLING BIRDS and MINA SHIRAKAWA backstage with Lexy Nair last night after Dynamite. Alex Windsor says that if Mina Shirakawa wants to spread her wings, they've got her back. Jamie Hayter says she's had the women's world title before, and she wants it back, so she calls out Thekla for Dynasty. Mina says "don't beat her--beat the piss out of her."
• Tommaso Ciampa goes to high-five Tony Schiavone and leaves him hanging and this is the funniest fucking thing Nigel McGuinness has ever seen. Tony's reaction is "that son of a bitch."
• Ciampa low blows Juice with a back kick; somehow Rick Knox does not see this. He hits Willow's Bell on Juice, but Juice escapes the cover. Now up top, Juice is biting Ciampa--this is the third biting spot this match--who gets him in position for the Psycho Driller off the top. Juice Sunset Flips through into a high angle powerbomb but Ciampa kicks out. Ciampa goes for the knee, misses, strike exchange, Juice wins that and goes for Juice is Loose but Ciampa avoids it and hits two ringing knees for the win.
• ISIAH KASSIDY backstage. He's tired of hearing the word "change." He says Moxley knows what he did, and he's finally gotten the change he was looking for. Apparently Marq Quen is out, so Zay needs to find a change somehow, and he's starving for opportunity.
• After Dynamite, DARBY ALLIN says he has to beat Andrade to get a world title shot. Kenny Omega told him that if he wins the title, he'll honor that stipulation. BRODY KING and JUNGLE JACK PERRY are here. They've all put each other through hell, but Brody knows that Darby was there for them on Dynamite. They'll have each other's backs one more time on Dynamite next week.
• Kyle Fletcher sustained a lower body injury of some sort on Collision last week and is out of action for an unknown period of time.
• Andrade and Davis hot start on the Rascalz. Andrade still wants to fuck. Mark Davis locks in a Boston Crab and Don Callis on comms describes it as "that big butt sinking down" which I think might be the most egregious thing he's ever said on commentary.
• KAZUCHIKA OKADA is here with ROCKY ROMERO and TRENT BERETTA after Andrade and Davis leave. RPG Vice jump The Rascalz in the ring and throw out Wentz. Okada is trying to get "revenge" for Kyle Fletcher. Okada has Dezmond set up for the Rainmaker, but MYRON REED makes the save, clears out the ring, and goes tope con giro to take out Okada and his contingent.
• During The Dogs' entrance, we see them coming up through Gorilla as a PA tells them they're good to go. Finlay decides to just potato the PA with a boot. This 8-way tornado tag match hot starts on the ramp.
• The Conglomeration team and The Dogs fight to the back at the tail end of this main event match, effectively making it two-on-two.
