Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for October 16, 2024

We see the aftermath of WrestleDream's main event as Jon Moxley talks about how he hates what AEW has become and how he will burn down the forest to plant a new one. He says that the new paradigm for those in AEW is that everyone works for him now as he and the rest of The Blackpool Combat Club drive off on in a pick-up truck.

Adam Cole heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Cole says that while he wants to talk about his year-long road to recovery, the fans would rather her about MJF. He says life is filled with shades of gray, and that sometimes one must fight evil with evil. He says that MJF will tell everyone that he broke his trust and betrayed him for no reason, and while he is a lot of things, "stupid" is not one of them, and that anyone who trusts a guy like MJF is stupid. Cole says the MJF we see now is the real MJF that he saw behind closed door and terrorized AEW for five years while he pretends to care about the company when he only cares about himself. He says that everything about MJF is "fake," from his hair to his brash attitude, saying that MJF is "a scared, insecure little boy" who cries in a corner by himself in a hotel room over the slightest criticism. Cole calls MJF "a phony" who cannot be trusted and that the locker room agrees with everything that he has said, and while the locker room is one of the best and contains some young guys who will carry AEW into the future, they view MJF's path as "successful." He says that MJF's path is full of failure and loneliness, and that while MJF thinks everybody loves him, everyone hates him, and Cole says that he hates even having to share a building with him before calling him out for a fight. MJF's theme hits, and Adam Cole looks around when MJF fails to promptly show. MJF then appears on the video screen with a glass of wine in his hand. MJF says that he has been in the business for a decade and that he has learned there is no such thing as trust in the business, which is full of jackals waiting and watching to see if you will trip to eat you up and spit you up. He says he told himself that he would never let this happen again, but he became with Adam Cole, and Adam Cole stabbed him in the back and caused him to never trust again. MJF says that Cole has created this void in his heart and an inability to ever trust again, yet the fans cheer for Cole, and while Cole wants to beat him within an inch of his life, he will never get him in the ring and be left with a void of unfulfilled vengeance. Cole tells MJF that he knows him better than anybody else and that he can run, but he cannot hide, and he promises with every fiber of his being that when he gets his hands on him, he will give him the ass-beating of a lifetime and make him wish they never met.

In backstage footage from WrestleDream, Renee Paquette interviews "The Learning Tree" Chris Jericho, who says that he feels vindicated, as he is in a movie and his band is on tour, and while he wanted to become ROH World Champion, Briscoe cheated to retain. He tells Mark Briscoe that he wants his rematch and he wants it soon, and that he awaits his reply, as he plans to be a two-time ROH World Champion just like Jay Briscoe.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Mark Briscoe. Mark Briscoe says he dropped "The Learning Tree" Chris Jericho on his head and beat him, yet Jericho is asking for a rematch. He says Jericho has said some dumb stuff, but he cannot let Jericho mentioning his brother again slide. He says that Jericho has his rematch because he wants to get his hands on him, but he wants to raise the stakes, and makes it a Ladder War. As for tonight, he says that FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) - who show up - will get their hands on Big Bill and Bryan Keith.

FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) beat The Learning Tree ("The Redwood" Big Bill and "The Bad Apple" Bryan Keith). After the match, Rush, Dralistico and The Beast Mortos are seen watching from backstage. Afterwards, The Outrunners (Truth Magnum and Turbo Floyd) show up to celebrate with FTR.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews The Acclaimed ("Platinum" Max Caster, Anthony Bowens, "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn). Daddy Ass says they are about to head to the gym as they are three of the best bodies in AEW before getting the car ready. Bowens says everyone loves The Acclaimed, and Max Caster says that they are the winningest tag team in AEW history coming off another victory, yet they want more and more. MVP and Shelton Benjamin soon show up, and MVP hands Max Caster his business card, but Bowens says they do not need anything from him. MVP laughs, then he and Shelton leave.

Mercedes Moné retains the TBS Championship against Queen Aminata by submission with the Backstabber into the Statement Maker.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy) when The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) show up. Marq Quen congratulates The Young Bucks on retaining, but says they came close to winning. On the subject of a rematch, Matthew Jackson says that he was wrong about Private Party and that they took them to their limit, then Nicholas Jackson says it is not happening and that WrestleDream was their last chance. Matthew says they will never wrestle again before The Young Bucks leave. Stokely Hathaway shows up and says Private Party should put their history as a tag team on the line, and that if they lose again, they must split up as a team. He also says Isiah Kassidy is the solo star anyway, then leaves. Isiah says "If that's what it takes..."

Backstage, we hear from The Elite (Matthew Jackson, Nicholas Jackson, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada, "Scapegoat" Jack Perry). Jack Perry says today is a special day in the creation of AEW, as today is Kenny Omega's birthday. He says that Omega has not been here in some time and that he has twenty feet of his intestines removed to save his life after they nearly ended it, but The Elite still wanted to get him something. They then produce a black-and-red cake saying "Happy Brithday Kenny!" before Perry dumps kidneys and livers on it and Okada says "Happy Birthday, bitch!" Perry then says "Get well soon, Kenny...or die. I really don't care."

The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly, "Azucar" Rocky Romero) beat The Elite (Matthew Jackson, Nicholas Jackson, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada) by disqualification after Wheeler Yuta suddenly shows up and hits Orange Cassidy with a Busaiku Knee. After the match, Claudio Castagnoli and PAC show up, and along with Wheeler, they attack The Conglomeration before Jon Moxley and Marina Shafir show up. All the while, The Elite watch from the bottom of the ramp. Top Flight (Darius and Dante Martin) and Action Andretti show up to fight The Blackpool Combat Club (Moxley, Claudio, Wheeler, PAC), but they get wiped out, and The Dark Order (Evil Uno, John Silver, Alex Reynolds) run towards the ring to make the save, with Alex Reynolds asking The Elite, who are still standing around, "What's wrong with you guys?" "Scapegoat" Jack Perry soon shows up, and The Elite head to the back as The Blackpool Combat Club continue to lay waste to everyone. Moxley then says that anyone involved with AEW is now under attack, and if anyone does not like what just happened or what happened at WrestleDream, they need to understand that this is "the cost of doing business." After The Blackpool Combat Club leave, Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy) and Daniel Garcia show up to help people to the back.

Backstage, Arkady Aura interviews The Elite (Matthew Jackson, Nicholas Jackson, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada, "Scapegoat" Jack Perry). Suddenly, Daniel Garcia and Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy) confront The Elite for letting the company go down in flames, and Jack Perry gets in Garcia's face before The Elite walk away. Garcia tells Private Party that he has their backs if they have his.

Shelton Benjamin beats Lio Rush. After the match, MVP says that Lio Rush, in his youthful exuberance, opened his mouth, and that Shelton Benjamin, with his experience and skill, closed it. He then says he cannot make a better statement than what Shelton just made, but he knows Swerve Strickland is watching, and he wants him to reconsider his position, as what happened to Lio Rush is his future, and he believes that they should finish the conversation they started at WrestleDream.

We hear from Darby Allin, who announces that all proceeds from Shop AEW will be going to Tony Hawk's Skateboarding Project, which builds skate parks in underprivileged areas.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Prince Nana and Swerve Strickland. Swerve Strickland says that if Shelton Benjamin wants to come at him, then he will accept his challenge, then reminds him not to fail, because he will not.

Tony Schiavone interviews Don Callis - who shows up with "The Machine" Brian Cage and Lance Archer - in the ring. Don Callis walks up to the podium in the middle of the ring to announce that with all of the news regarding his family, there should be a press conference, then he realized there are no real journalists in pro wrestling and that he will answer all the questions himself. Callis talks about acquiring Brian Cage and Lance Archer, and after nearly getting the tag team titles, he wants them, and asks who better to take them than Cage and Archer. He says there is more good news coming, and brings out Kyle Fletcher and "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita. Callis says that Takeshita will be a true International Champion and that Takeshita will defend all over the world, then Takeshita says that if anyone wants the Intercontinental Championship, then all they have to do is come and take it. Callis then asks the fans to show some decorum, as it has been a tough week for Fletcher and he has a lot on his mind. Fletcher takes the podium and says everyone has been asking why he turned on Will Ospreay, but everyone wants to talk about Ospreay when the family is having its biggest night in history. As for why he did what he did, "too bad." Callis says the fans are too ignorant and refuse to shut up, so they will not get the reason, then says the family has never been stronger than today.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "The Glamour" Mariah May, who asks where the competition is. She asks if anyone wants to work so she can rip their heads off, then says AEW is the best are afraid of her. Anna Jay rushes up to her for a confrontation, and Interim Executive Vice President Christopher Daniels gets between them only to get inadvertently smacked by Anna as Mariah flees.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Ricochet, who says that despite what Don Callis has said, Konosuke Takeshita only beat Will Ospreay. He then says he has yet to be pinned in AEW and that he is here for championship gold, and Takeshita is in the way of that.

He then says he will be on Collision for anyone who wants to wrestle him.

Backstage, Top Flight (Darius and Dante Martin), Action Andretti and The Dark Order (Evil Uno, John Silver, Alex Reynolds) are still fighting The Blackpool Combat Club (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Marina Shafir) in a backstage brawl. Once again, The Blackpool Combat Club lay waste to everyone, then drive off in a silver Dodge Ram. Evil Uno says that if The Blackpool Combat Club wants to take their livelihoods and wants a fight, then they will get it, and Darius Martin says they will have to go through teams like them. Action Andretti states that he and Top Flight will take the World Trios Championships from The Blackpool Combat Club at Collision.

Tony D'Angelo is in the ring with the rest of The D'Angelo Family (Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, Luca Crusifino, Adrianna Rizzo) to start tonight's show. D'Angelo says he wanted to celebrate his North American title victory tonight with his family, then gives a toast to the former champion Oba Femi, having been the longest reigning champion with the title. He says Oba is a machine, but he had to win by any means necessary and he had to use his biggest weapon - his pride - against him, and baited Oba into thinking he broke him when he really had Oba where he wanted him and beat him. D'Angelo says part of him thinks this is over, but he knows that it is far from over, and until then, he toasts to Oba. Oba Femi then shows up. Oba Femi admits that Tony D'Angelo got him and congratulates him, then says it happened once and will not happen again, as he will reclaim his title at Halloween Havoc and once again be the ruler of NXT. As he leaves, he tells D'Angelo that his family will not be by his side to help him. He then spins the wheel on his way to the back, and it lands on "Tables, Ladders and Scares."

Raw Deal - Raw recap for October 14, 2024

Rhea Ripley heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Rhea says she is not done with Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez and that this will not end until she wins back the Women's World Championship. She then calls them out to whup their asses if they are done running. Tiffany Stratton shows up instead, and delivers a message from Nia Jax: stay out of her business, or else she will have a big problem. Rhea says she does not have time for this, and says she either gets her hands on Liv and Morgan or she can welcome her to Raw "the Rhea Ripley way." As they argue, they are attacked by Liv and Raquel. Liv smacks the Money In The Bank Briefcase across Tiffany's back before she and Raquel stand tall.

We see a vignette for Damage CTRL (Iyo Sky and Kairi Sane) vs. Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships.

We see another vignette for American Made (Chad Gable, Julius Creed, Brutus Creed, Ivy Nile). Chad Gable defines "greatness" before declaring that American Made is it. Brutus Creed agrees, and Ivy Nile says the locker room has a chance to get their teeth kicked in. Julius says they are sick and tired of "entitled degenerates" looking for hand-outs. Gable says America and the fans need a hero and that they are hero, and that they will show what it means to be "American Made."

We see a vignette for Bron Breakker, who says that he turned his back on "Main Event" Jey Uso because Jey walked into the biggest lottery of his life when they faced off for the Intercontinental Championship, and out of respect, he shook his hand and congratulated him only for Jey to throw it back in his face and refuse to respect him. He says that they are not the same, as he is not carrying on his family name like Jey is, and if Jey wants to do things on his own, then he will take an ass whupping on his own when he comes back for the Intercontinental Championship.

In footage from last Saturday, General Manager Adam Pearce holds a meeting with "Big" Bronson Reed. Bronson wants to get down to business, but Pearce chastises him for how he treated the referees during the Last Monster Standing Match. Bronson apologizes if his actions crossed a line, but in a match like that, no one can stop him, and that he would have won had it not been for Seth "Freakin'" Rollins. Bronson says he did all this to get to the main event, and that he wants the spotlight and the one-on-one match with Seth "Freakin'" Rollins, stating that there will be no trouble if he gets it. Pearce says that if they are on the same page, then he will talk to Rollins. Bronson says Pearce is a smarter negotiator than he thought he was.

Ivar and Erik return from injury for the next match, now known as "The War Raiders."

Rollins says he knows what he signed up for and that he knows why Bronson Reed is doing what he is doing. He then says that he is at the top of the food chain and that Bronson has forgotten that, and that he has beaten the best of the best. He says he must have the match with Bronson, but at the same time, the best version of himself is needed.

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes heads to the ring. He says that to see where you are going, you must see where you have been, and he is proud to be in a city with a rich professional wrestling history in St. Louis, Missouri. He then says there has been more recent history, as not too long ago, something genuinely changed his life for the better, as it was where "We Want Cody" was heard for the first time. Cody thanks the fans of St. Louis very much for the support, then Gunther heads to the ring. Gunther says that he usually trash talks his opponent, but he has nothing negative to say about Cody, as the current wrestling boom has been built off Cody's back, as he has been everywhere and has been "the quarterback of this operation." He says there is not many people he respects in WWE, but Cody is one of the people he respects. Gunther then mentions that Cody loves to be everybody's darling, and because of that, Kevin Owens has realized that "everyone's friend" is "no one's real friend." Gunther then states that he expects the best version of Cody. Cody takes this as his greatest weakness being his greatest strength, and says that he has seen what happens when Gunther throws everything from his arsenal at his opponents and they keep coming back: he gets uncomfortable, and he breaks. Cody admits that he has respect for Gunther, but Gunther is in deep water and his feet have only touched the bottom of the pool. Gunther says that this is "spoken like a secondary champion," and Cody says that while Gunther has become a frightening beast, he has already slain a frightening beast. Cody and Gunther shake hands, and Gunther says "Good luck to me...the champion."

In backstage footage from after last week's show, Xavier Woods has been unhappy with the lack of success that he has had as of late.

We hear from Dragon Lee, who talks about his career in WWE so far, and says that while it has not always been easy, he becomes better with every setback, and he becomes more capable of surpassing his greatest expectation and proves that he belongs and is destined to fly. We then see Dragon Lee sprout computer generated dragon wings before his eyes glow and he flies off.

Bron Breakker beats Kofi Kingston. After the match, Bron Breakker is about to attack Kofi Kingston again when Xavier Woods runs in and makes the save. Bron Breakker leaves, but then rushes back in the ring and attacks Xavier Woods. All of a sudden, "Main Event" Jey Uso runs into the ring and fights off Bron Breakker, and Breakker pretends to retreat. He checks on Kofi and Woods, then Breakker gets back on the ring apron and Jey superkicks him off it.

Backstage, Rhea Ripley is met by Damian Priest. Rhea says she has this match, and says it is Tiffany Stratton's time to stand on the ring apron and look pretty. She then asks Priest if she has thought about what they have talked about, and Priest says he has thought about it. Rhea says they have destroyed The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, Carlito, Liv Morgan) multiple times, and that it is time to get back to the World title. Priest says that as long as she has beef with The Judgment Day, so does he, and that he has her back. He then agrees it is time to get back the World title.

After the match, R-Truth hugs Miz and the referee, then leaves the ring and fistbumps Karrion Kross only for Kross to command The Authors of Pain (Akam and Rezar) to throw R-Truth back in the ring so that Miz can hit R-Truth with the Skull Crushing Finale. At the beginning of the match, a brief message by The Wyatt Sicks (Uncle Howdy, Erick Rowan, Joe Gacy, Dexter Lumis, Nikki Cross) can be seen.

Backstage, Jimmy Uso is looking for "Main Event" Jey Uso. He eventually finds him. Jimmy asks Jey to hear him out, but Jey tells him no and tells him to get out of his face.

Willie Mack says he will be world champion because he has what it takes to win the title and make it his own. He says Adam Pearce has been a good champion, but he will do him a favor and put his ten pounds of gold in his luggage. He also says that his mother is looking down from him in Heaven and has been watching him every step of the way, and he knows that he is making her proud.

He says he is looking for competition, which is why he is here, and that he plans to shine. As for why he attacked Joey Ryan, it is of nobody's concerned, and that only Joey Ryan should be the one thinking about why he attacked him and joined Peter Avalon. Kaos says Joey Ryan will have a lot to answer for when they meet in the ring, as he only got a small taste of what he is all about, and that he will find out why he is simply the best.

Colt Cabana is the special guest referee for the next match, saying that he will give Willie Mack the fair shot that he did not get from "Scrap Iron" Adam Pearce.

Willie Mack vs. "Scrap Iron" Adam Pearce for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship with Colt Cabana as special guest referee ends in a no-contest.

At one point, Pearce tries to get himself counted out, but Cabana puts a stop to that by threatening to award the championship to Willie Mack if he does not get back in the ring, and Pearce is forced to comply. Shortly after this, Willie Mack inadvertently knocks Pearce into Cabana as Cabana is on the apron trying to get back in the ring. Pearce then tries to use the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, but Cabana stops him. Pearce spits in Cabana's face only for Cabana to punch him out, but Willie Mack only gets a near-fall. Pearce then shoves Willie Mack into Cabana, knocking Cabana down, then tries to use the championship as a weapon again, knocking out Cabana before doing the same to Willie Mack. Pearce then goes for the ground and pound on Cabana, and when two other referees show up, Pearce punches one and scares the other out of the ring. When Colt Cabana gets back up, Pearce hits him with the championship one more time.
