Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for June 30, 2021

Chris Jericho guests on commentary for this week's show.

Penta el Zero Miedo and Eddie Kingston beat The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) to earn a shot at the AEW World Tag Team Championships after Kazarian foils Brandon Cutler's interference with the cold spray.

We hear from Christian Cage and Jungle Boy. He says that everyone is proud of Jungle Boy and says he can take last week's loss and learn from it after having taken Kenny Omega to the brink, and says he could be World Champion one day. As Christian tells Jungle Boy to make history and get his 50th win, Luchasaurus shows up and thanks Christian Cage for having Jungle Boy's back while he was gone, and tells Christian he has his back.

Tony Schiavone interviews The Men of the Year (Scorpio Sky and "All Ego" Ethan Page) in the ring. Ethan Page says what he has been doing is not enough, and that his goal is not to beat Darby Allin, but to exterminate him, and that nobody has tried to cripple Darby more than he has. He says that Darby Allin has kept coming back after everything he has done to them throughout their careers, and says that the Coffin Match will cripple Darby mentally. Ethan Page says he will beat Darby Allin in this Coffin Match, and when he does, Darby will think of him every time he even so much as thinks of doing a Coffin Drop, he will think of him laying him in a coffin and closing it shut on his confidence forever. Sting then shows up with a wooden coffin draped in a white cloth, then we see a video of Darby Allin wearing an Ethan Page mask setting a frame of a coffin on fire. When Sting lifts the white cloth off the coffin, Darby climbs out of it, and Sting and Darby brawl with The Men of the Year. Scorpio eats a Scorpion Deathdrop while Darby Allin gouges Ethan Page's eyes. Referees and security have to pull Darby off of Ethan, who says Darby cannot beat him at 100% and that next week's match is off and is not happening. Ethan then demands that Darby sign a contract saying that he cannot touch him before the Coffin Match, and that if Darby behaves, they can have their match at Fyter Fest.

Chris Jericho plugs his 30th anniversary book.

Jungle Boy beats Jack Evans with the Snare Trap, earning his 50th victory in the AEW record books and becoming the first ever to do so. After the match, The Hardy Family Office shows up, but Christian Cage and Luchasaurus attack them, and Matt Hardy and Christian Cage brawl in the ring. Matt Hardy flees when Jack Evans gets back in the ring, but Christian effectively fends Jack Evans off.

We hear from MJF, who says that he has bettered Chris Jericho, yet Jericho has refused to give it up and has turned AEW into his own version of Looney Tunes by attacking him and ruining The Pinnacle's lives. MJF says Jericho is the joke while Jericho thinks he is the butt of the joke, and wants to know exactly how Jericho is willing to stoop. He then says that he will announce his stipulations for their one last match next week. He then addresses his match Sammy Guevara, saying that while Guevara may be the future of wrestling after this, he is the now and he is better than Guevara.

Backstage, Alex Abrahantes interviews Andrade el Idolo, who says that he will make an example out of Matt Sydal in a match at Road Rager for interrupting him.

Tony Schiavone interviews Kenny Omega in the ring. Omega says he is reminded of a conversation from earlier today where Schiavone asked him how he stayed motivated and hunted for that next goal - which Schiavone denies happened - and says he woke up like a king. He says he defeated the most promising up-and-coming AEW star and the best wrestler not named Kenny Omega in Jungle Boy next week, and that is pains him to say that there is nobody left and that he will have to take time off. Omega says he still has other championships to defend elsewhere and that his work is far from over, then The Dark Order shows up. Evil Uno tells Omega that he feels differently about him not having any challengers, but Omega says that Alan "5" Angels could not last two minutes against him and that The Dark Order is not even closed to being ranked to face him. Evil Uno admits that while they may not have enough singles wins to be ranked, but they know somebody who does. Omega says that somebody Evil Uno would not appreciate him speaking on his behalf and that they do not have the guts to face him and become champion.

We hear from Brian Pillman Jr. in footage from earlier today. He asks Miro to forgive him for not having the same faith as he does, and says while he did not have family, he had friends who had his back. He says that Miro made it personal when he put his hands on Griff Garrison and that he will show everyone that Miro is a bully, is not God's favorite champion and a "big Bulgarian bitch."

Miro retains the AEW TNT Championship against Brian Pillman Jr. with Game Over.

Backstage, Alex Marvez interviews The Dark Order and "Hangman" Adam Page. Page confronts The Dark Order for speaking on his behalf, but The Dark Order reminds him that he is afraid of failure and that they believe in him beating Kenny Omega. They leave after telling Page that they have his back, and Alex "3" Reynolds tells Page that he has waited long enough and that now is his time.

We hear from Team Taz (Taz, Hook, Powerhouse Hobbs) in footage from earlier today. Taz says that while they are not in complete form at the moment, he says that Ricky Starks' and Brian Cage's relationship has been rough on everyone. Taz announces that Cage will defend the FTW Championship a medically cleared Ricky Starks next week, and says that family members sometimes a need a good old-fashioned fight to clean things up.

Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. and Rebel beat "The Native Beast" Nyla Rose and Vickie Guerrero with the Lockjaw from Britt Baker to Vickie Guerrero. After the match, Nyla Rose attacks Britt Baker from behind before hitting her with a powerbomb. Vickie Guerrero then readies a table on the outside, and Nyla drives Britt Baker through it with another powerbomb.

We hear from Jake Hager, Santana and Ortiz. Hager says that when they show up, somebody gets their ass whipped. He says that Wardlow faced him like a man and took his loss only for The Pinnacle to attack him and punch Dean Malenko in the face. Santana says that if The Pinnacle want to get their hands dirty, they will get their hands dirtier and refuse to go down without a fight. He tells The Pinnacle to bring the fight, and says that if Tully Blanchard will be in their corner, they will have Konnan in theirs.

Next week: Kris Statlander and Orange Cassidy vs. The Bunny and The Blade!

MJF beats Sammy Guevara. During the match, Shawn Spears shows up. Chris Jericho leaves the commentary table to go after him, but he is attacked from behind by Wardlow. Wardlow then throws Jericho off the stage, and this allows Shawn Spears to hit Sammy Guevara in the head with a chair. MJF puts his hand on top of Guevara to win the match. The show ends with commentary thanking the city of Jacksonville, Florida for their support of AEW for the last fifteen months, and we see a video package chronicling the many happenings in AEW in Daily's Place in that time period. We then get one last shot of the fans in Daily's Place before the show fades to black.

Johnny Gargano jumps Karrion Kross backstage, and security swiftly steps in as Kross tells Gargano he is a dead man.

The NXT Breakout Tournament returns in two weeks!

Backstage, Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Bronson Reed, who cannot wait to see who is in the next NXT Breakout Tournament, saying the last one took him to championship status. Suddenly, Hit Row (Isaiah "Swerve" Scott, Ashante "Thee" Adonis, Top Dolla, B-Fab) shows up, and Swerve wants to know how Bronson Reed became a champion. Top Dolla tells Bronson to put the North American title on the line, as does Swerve, who wants him to do it tonight against him. Bronson tells Swerve that if he wants a title, he's got it.

Karrion Kross and Scarlett head to the ring. Kross says Johnny Gargano may have gotten him tonight, he is willing to die on the sword he lives on and wants to see if Gargano is willing to do the same, and dares him to get in the ring and see how well he fares when he sees the shot coming. Gargano shows up and says he is not afraid of Kross, whom he calls a coward before saying that he will beat him at his own game. Gargano tells Kross that the ring is his world, and while he does not have a sword, he has actual talent. Gargano says he may not be the biggest, but at least he is smarter than Kross. Kross is attacked from behind by Austin Theory, but Kross easily makes quick work of both men. Kross is about to hit Gargano with the ring steps when security steps in, and this allows Gargano to hit Kross with a superkick and escape with Kross. Meanwhile, Kross briefly confronts Samoa Joe before heading to the back with Scarlett.

Roderick Strong beats Asher Hale by submission. After the match, Malcolm Bivens says that Diamond Mine is open for business and that this is just the beginning.

Cameron Grimes beats Ari Sterling. After the match, LA Knight shows up and mocks Grimes, calling him a natural-born loser. Grimes dares Knight to get in the ring if he wants to talk about Ted DiBiase, saying he wanted to carry on DiBiase's legacy while Knight "just wanted some bling." Grimes tells Knight he will take that bling from him next week, then Knight refuses to put the title on the line, saying Grimes does not deserve it. He then says there is one piece missing to the title, saying he is a "million dollar mega-star." He then says that if Grimes wants the title next week, he will put it on the line, but if Grimes loses, he will become his butler. Grimes accepts the challenge, saying he has no problem being a butler because he is going to the moon.

Backstage, Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Zoey Stark and Io Shirai when Indi Hartwell and Candace LeRae show up and Indi says they are not even a real team. Stark says her and Shirai's mutual respect will not stop them from winning the title, but Candace tells Stark to watch her back, as Shirai tends to be a sore loser. Shirai tells Candace that she has never beaten her, and that next week, she and Stark will become champions.

Kyle O'Reilly heads to the ring. O'Reilly says his journey has been testing himself against the best in the business, and that he wants to fight people who will make him a better fighter. He says that next week is his rematch against Adam Cole, and their first match proved that he could be NXT Champion. O'Reilly then says Cole cannot see this and makes excuse after excuse, then asks what excuse Cole will have when he beats him next week. Adam Cole shows up, but so does Samoa Joe with members of security as Cole is halfway down the ramp. Joe says he is here in case things get physical this time, then lets Cole and O'Reilly continue speaking. Cole says O'Reilly made it crystal clear that he wished he could be in his shoes and have half the career that he has had, then says it won't happen and says that O'Reilly is obsessed with him. O'Reilly says that Cole has picked a fight with him at every turn every since he came back from the hospital, but Cole tells O'Reilly he needs a dose of reality, saying O'Reilly is nothing without him. Cole also says nobody would be talking about O'Reilly without him, especially after their time in The Undisputed Era when Cole was the star of the group, carried him on his back and was responsible for his success. Cole says that he is still the star whether people know it and want to admit it, especially O'Reilly's wife. O'Reilly tells Cole not to mention his wife again, then says he is ashamed that he ever associated himself with Cole and took so long to realize how pathetic Cole is.Cole smacks the microphone out of O'Reilly's hand, and as Samoa Joe stands between them, Cole ducks under Joe to get to get to O'Reilly only to be caught in a heel hook. Cole reaches for Joe, who walks away and lets security break them up.

We hear from Tian Sha (Xia Li, Boa, Mei Ying). Xia Li says that anyone who offends them will be punished. Boa says that Jake Atlas made a big mistake and will pay. Xia says that there is no road of return for Mercedes Martinez and that it is time to destroy.

Tommaso Ciampa and Timothy Thatcher head to the ring with chairs in their hands. MSK (Nash Carter and Wes Lee) show up soon afterwards, also with chairs in their hands. All four men sit down, and Ciampa says the difference between them is that he and Thatcher make this look good, then says that the tag champs will be the underdogs, as Thatcher has never held NXT gold and is hungry. Ciampa says that nobody elevates a championship much like he does, and when Thatcher interrupts Carter, telling him to let Ciampa finish, Wes Lee says that they respect the both of them, and Carter tells them to put respect on MSK's name. Wes Lee then says that Ciampa and Thatcher will soon find out why they are the tag team champions, then MSK attack Ciampa and Thatcher only for Wes Lee to be slapped in the face by Thatcher, who is held back by Ciampa. Ciampa tells MSK to bring their pride along with their titles, for he and Thatcher are taking both, because MSK got a free shot tonight and they will not be so lucky next week.

Backstage, Mackenzie Mitchell interviews General Manager William Regal, who says he is excited about the new NXT Breakout Tournament when Sarray shows up wanting a match with Toni Storm. Regal says he will take it under consideration, and Sarray thanks him.

The battery meter reads 81%.

As Karrion Kross and Scarlett leave the arena, Kross is suddenly attacked by Johnny Gargano and Austin Theory. As Gargano says Kross is not on his level, Kross puts him in a sleeper hold and lays him out. Kross then punches out Austin Theory before driving off with Scarlett. As they drive off, Joe is seen holding Gargano and carrying him back into the arena after telling him he pushed Kross a little bit too far.

WWE officials Sonya Deville and Adam Pearce announce that due to circumstances beyond their control, Randy Orton cannot compete in tonight's last chance Triple Threat Money In The Bank qualifier, and that the show will start with a battle royal the winner taking Orton's match. Suddenly, Matt Riddle shows up with a note from Randy Orton telling them to let Riddle take his place, but it becomes obvious Riddle wrote it. Riddle then proposes he compete on Orton's behalf to save his spot. Deville and Pierce agree that while this is an unconventional move, they agree on it, and tell him to get to the ring.

Matt Riddle last eliminates Damian Priest to win a battle royal to take Randy Orton's place in the Last Chance Triple Threat Money In The Bank Qualifying Match later tonight. After the match, Riddle asks that Randy Orton's theme music be played, and it is. During the match, Drew Gulak pins Akira Tozawa after he is eliminated to win the WWE 24/7 Championship, then an eliminated R-Truth attacks Gulak to take it back. After this, Tozawa attacks R-Truth and takes the 24/7 Championship back once more. Also, The Viking Raiders (Ivar and Erik) are eliminated from the outside by Omos with help from Jinder Mahal, and proceeds to attack them.

Backstage, "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler is met by Nia Jax as she shuffles a deck of cards. Nia Jax wants to make sure they are on the same page, and Shayna Baszler says that after she sends Nikki Cross back to reality, she will do the same to Alexa Bliss and Lily. Meanwhile, Alexa Bliss is seen having watched this conversation from a distance.

Backstage, Jaxson Ryker is seen hitting a road crate with a leather strap.

Backstage, Kevin Patrick interviews "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles and Omos. AJ Styles says that when you're supposed to be somewhere and you're not, you lose the opportunity, and says that he should be in a one-on-one match; unfortunately, he is in a Triple Threat match and his chances of winning have gone down despite Omos watching his back. Omos says he was simply scouting the competition for Styles earlier in the battle royal. After Styles accuses Kevin of giving Omos grief for what The Viking Raiders did to him last week, Styles says that Riddle is banged up tonight. He says that with Riddle tired, it will be a little easier to win tonight's triple threat qualifier, win Money In The Bank, and become WWE Champion for a third time.

Backstage, The Lucha House Party (Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik) compliment Nikki Cross on her new superhero outfit, then Sarah Schreiber interviews Nikki Cross. Nikki says she is inspired to become a superhero, as something has been brought out inside of her and it was only a matter of time before it came out. Nikki then says she plans on winning the women's Money In The Bank Ladder Match, inspire young children everywhere, and become a champion. Nikki then comes up with a new nickname for herself: "Nikki A.S.H.: Almost A Superhero."

Nikki Cross beats "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler. During the match, Alexa Bliss shows up, distracting Baszler, Reginald and Nia Jax on the outside to the point that Nikki Cross hits all three of them with a cross body from the top rope to the outside. Later on in the match, Alexa hypnotizes Nia briefly, but when Reginald tries to stop her, Alexa takes both of them out before leaving. This distracts Shayna Baszler, and this allows Nikki to win with a La Magistral Cradle.

Kofi Kingston heads to the ring. Kofi says there are certain moments in our lives that occur and change us for better or worse, and says he does not know how last week has affected him yet after seeing Xavier Woods screaming and writhing in pain in the Cell. She says that Xavier Woods was there to have his back, but once he was in the Cell, he could not do anything for him. He says that people have disrespected Woods for a long time, thinking he is not up to snuff, and that Woods proved what kind of competitor he is. Kofi says that it is time to put some respect on Woods' name, then says that while Bobby Lashley won that match, what MVP did after that match was not okay, as MVP kept Woods locked in both the Cell and Lashley's Hurt Lock. He says he cannot get this image out of his mind, and promises that he will make Lashley pay when he beats him at Money In The Bank, takes everything from him and becomes WWE Champion. MVP shows up with his entourage and says that Kofi saying he will beat Lashley for the WWE Championship is the most ridiculous thing he has heard from him, then says he is looking forward to Money In The Bank and a live audience while looking past Kofi. MVP says Kofi is no threat to Lashley, who is currently on vacation and has passed a message to MVP where he states that he enjoyed doing what he did to Woods and that he looks forward to doing the same to Kofi. After MVP says that what Lashley will do to Kofi will make Brock Lesnar look like's child play, Kofi reminds MVP that Drew McIntyre beat Lashley within an inch of a life and would have won had it not for MVP, then says he has beaten Lashley and can beat him again. Kofi says that Lashley is more beatable than ever, as layers of Lashley's mystique have disappeared to the point that he is scrambling to grab a piece of his former success like MVP is doing. MVP says he has done what he has done for Lashley because he has deserved it, but Kofi says he has deserved to become WWE Champion and never took a day off when he was champ, taking the title to Ghana and returning to television the next day while Lashley is distracted and taking vacations. He says that Lashley's eyes are off the prize and that somebody else will take that prize, and that this somebody will be him. MVP says he respects Kofi's optimism and says that Woods was extremely optimistic about beating Lashley in Hell In A Cell. He then says that Lashley injured Woods to the point that he is not here, and that the odds of Woods returning next week are as slim as Kofi's title chances. Kofi says that Woods will show up next week as he has heart and determination, and says that MVP has been milking a knee injury for six months. MVP says he is not cleared for combat and would whip his ass if he was. After MVP insists he is hurt, Kofi rushes at MVP and hits him with the Trouble In Paradise, then tells him he was not too hurt when he helped Lashley retain the WWE Championship and that he is hurt now.

Backstage, Kevin Patrick interviews Eva Marie and Doudrop. Eva Marie says Doudrop made a rookie mistake and was overwhelmed at being at the forefront of the Eva-Lution. She then says "Poor thing" and says that she has requested a rematch of last week's match so that Doudrop can learn a lesson from her mistakes, then says that she will win and that the Eva-Lution will continue.

Eva Marie and Doudrop beat Asuka and Naomi despite Eva Marie leaving Doudrop high and dry, forcing her to finish the match on her own. After the match, Eva Marie declares herself the winner.

Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews The Miz and John Morrison. Miz says that Morrison will not only win the Money In The Bank Ladder Match, but that he will also cash in due to his tutelage.

He reveals he has Morrison's Drip Stick, with which he squirts Miz and Morrison with.

Ricochet vs. John Morrison ends in a double count-out after Ricochet hits a top rope cross body to the barricade on Morrison.

Backstage, Charlotte Flair talks with Natalya and Tamina, saying they have respect for the business and upholding a family legacy in common and that they know what it takes to lead a division unlike their opponents. Natalya says that they have nothing to be concerned about tonight, and Tamina says that they will get their receipt back from last week tonight. Charlotte says that tonight, the three of them will prove that respect is earned.

Charlotte Flair, Natalya and Tamina beat Mandy Rose, Dana Brooke and Rhea Ripley. After the match, Rhea Ripley hits Charlotte Flair with a chop block in response to Charlotte hitting her with one near the end of the match.

Backstage, Jaxson Ryker is hitting himself in the back with a leather strap. When Akira Tozawa runs past, R-Truth shows up and asks Jaxson Ryker questions. Ryker says he is preparing himself for battle. He then talks about his strap match with Elias, saying Elias will have nowhere to run, and says that he is purging himself of any weakness and exploring where to put the most pain on his opponent. When R-Truth asks if he can borrow the strap afterwards to whip Tozawa with, he gets no response as Ryker keeps hitting himself.

Jaxson Ryker beats Elias in a Strap Match.

Backstage, Damian Priest congratulates Matt Riddle on his battle royal win tonight, then Riddle says he is Randy Orton and asks what he wants. After Priest mentions Burger King, Riddle stops the charade, but Priest tells Riddle that Orton is fortunate to have him as a friend.

Backstage, Kevin Patrick interviews Drew McIntyre, who says that tonight's Triple Threat Match reminds him of the Battle of Edinburgh before going of a tangent, then says he will not show his card before going into the ring and winning tonight and in the Money In The Bank Ladder Match.

Drew McIntyre beats "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles and Matt Riddle in a Last Chance Triple Threat Money In The Bank Qualifying Match after hitting the Claymore Kick on Riddle after Omos pulls Styles out of a pinfall attempt. During the match, Riddle injured his foot after accidentally ramming it into the steel steps. Riddle is taking to the back where his foot is taped up, but he shows up near the end of the match in an attempt to win.

Raw Talk: Drew McIntyre plans on being the next Money In The Bank winner.

Here are the top ten moments from tonight's show!

Tenille tells Rachael she is just embarrassing herself at this point and says things are not working out with her and Jordynne, and says she is the solution.

Rachael tells Tennille that them as a team is not happening, and only wants to be in the ring with her as an opponent.

The New Day then throw toast into the ring, and MVP says that Kofi and Xavier's clownery is why they were not even on late night's show and that they will continue to cosplay and play video games as he and Lashley enjoy the finer things in life. Kofi says that it is well-documented that he surrounds himself with people trusts rather than users who will chew one up and spit one out when the world runs dry, and asks Lashley if he thinks MVP and his entourage will hang around when he beats him for the WWE title. Lashley says that will never happen and that he will never lose to someone like Kofi or Woods, whom he says are much below his level, but Kofi reminds Lashley that he had already beaten him once before.
