DEVELOPMENTS
- Dezmond Xavier in this opener hits the Kardiak Kick I believe for the first time in AEW. Evidently he's not using it as a kill move, though, because Clark Connors kicks out at 2
- Jack Perry and Máscara Dorada embrace after the match and raise each other's arms, walking to the back together. No bad blood here following an intensely physical match
- Renee Paquette backstage after Dynamite as KRIS STATLANDER and HIKARU SHIDA walk in. Renee tells Stat that she narrowly missed becoming a triple crown champion. Shida cuts her off and laments how close they were, but says that she doesn't blame Stat and that it wasn't her fault. Kris has had enough. She pins Shida to the wall by her throat and says that of course it wasn't her fault--Shida didn't listen to her, she kicked Stat in the stomach, and she kept tagging herself in. Shida starts talking back but Stat covers her mouth and says she cost her everything. Shida starts apologizing now, saying that they've been friends for seven years and promises to make it up to her. Stat shoves her into the wall and storms off.
- TOMMASO CIAMPA comes out on stage following the trios match and points to his wrist to pantomime a watch. He'll be on the hunt for the trios titles if Dax Harwood beats Orange Cassidy on Wednesday.
- We get a shot at the commentary table where Tony Schiavone gives some words of support for Rebel, who last wrestled for the company in 2022. She recently revealed on her social medias that she was diagnosed with ALS.
- Video package here for Will Ospreay with the Death Riders going over the story so far between the two parties.
- Following the confrontation between Stat and Shida on Wednesday, Renee Paquette is now backstage with both women as well as HARLEY CAMERON and MINA SHIRAKAWA. They've agreed to no physicality. Shida reiterates that she's going to make it up to Stat, and the way she's decided to do that is to get her a tag match against Cameron and Shirakawa. Harley mockingly says "I didn't know you were allowed to wrestle somebody 'not on your level'!"
- Mina demands to know how Stat can give Shida yet another chance--Stat, for her part, has her arms crossed, stone-faced, not looking at anyone this entire segment. Mina asks where Stat was when Toni was attacked; Shida makes a big show of "not listening to this anymore" but stays where she is lol
- Harley tries to speak up to Kris but she just turns and walks away. Shida makes a face at Mina and follows. Renee asks Harley if she can even have a match like this, and Mina apologizes. Harley says she doesn't even know what to say.
- Moxley on comms for the Death Riders and Bang Bang Gang tag match. Nigel asks him if Will Ospreay is in the group or if that's still to be determined, then phrases this as "will he cut the cheese?" which I don't think means what he intended it to mean. Jon says that that's something he'd have to ask Ospreay himself.
- Marina gets on the apron late here as Juice is getting a VERY bloody Yuta (he somehow got busted open on the announce desk I think?) with his jabs. Juice is considering taking her out, but Yuta O'Connor rolls him for a two count. Juice shoves Yuta off the pin and he bumps right into Marina who bumps off the apron. Now it's Yuta getting O'Connor rolled for a two count by Juice. Danny breaks up the pin off a leg lariat.
- Juice pins Yuta off the Left Hand of God into The Juice is Loose to take home the win. Danny and Yuta get back up and jump Juice and Ace afterwards, though, and it takes the return of both AUSTIN GUNN and COLTEN GUNN to make the save, repelling Yuta, Garcia, and Moxley. They're looking for 3:10 to Yuma but Marina charges and pulls Moxley out of harm's way. Someone's gotta take the move, though, so Yuta gets back in the ring, misses a double line, and gets laid out.
- Marina is fucking INCENSED to the point where she KEEPS CHARGING at Colten Gunn who's standing at ringside. Danny is literally being forced to wrestle her to the ground to hold her back.
- Lexy Nair backstage with DIVINE DOMINION, the women's tag champs--or, according to Megan Bayne, beneath them, like the entire division. They're getting in Lexy's face, daring her to name two women that could even stand a chance against them. Lexy opts not to.
- Commentary tells us that as a result of last week's tag match, including the misting from Julia Hart, Persephone is going to be out of action for some time.
- Skye gets Nixi XS with a running knee lift but pulls her head up at 2, locking in a Dragon Sleeper with a full body scissors that Tony says she calls "Descent into Madness." Nixi taps out.
