Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for August 24, 2022

Chris Jericho heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Jericho addresses what is going on between himself and Daniel Garcia, whom he calls one of his favorite people, and asks Garcia to head to the ring. Jericho tells Garcia that he had "a classic match" with "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson and that emotions and adrenaline had run high after Garcia's loss, and asks Garcia to apologize to him. Garcia tells Jericho that he knew how special that moment was for him and to share the ring with his hero Bryan Danielson for 30 minutes, and says it is the kind of wrestling match he dreamt of having as a kid and hopes another kid has that dream. On the subject of Bryan Danielson going for a handshake, he says that he did not care if he was called a wrestler or a sports entertainer and that Jericho ruined that moment. Jericho says that he is sorry he feels that way and that there will be more moments like that for him, for he is "the best technical sports entertainer" is the business and he wants to hear him say that he is a sports entertainer. Before Garcia can say anything, Bryan Danielson shows up and mentions Jericho trying to bully him into saying he is a sports entertainer, then says Garcia can be what he wants to be, that he respects their match and that Garcia is a wrestler. Jericho demands that Garcia state publicly that he is a sports entertainer, but Garcia says he cannot make that decision publicly with his mentor on one side and his hero on the other, and tries to leave. Jericho grabs Garcia by the arm, but Garcia turns around and shoves Jericho again. Garcia ultimately leaves, then Danielson says that while he is not the greatest fan of sports entertainment, he considered that entertaining. Jericho takes offense to Bryan Danielson being called the greatest wrestler in the world, saying he has not seen it once and that he knows more about wrestling than Danielson ever will after surviving the Hart Dungeon. Danielson then asks Jericho who Stu Hart or Owen Hart would have thought is the greatest wrestler between the two of them, then asks who would be the greatest if they had a match tonight. Jericho tells Danielson that if he wants that match, then he has it at All Out, and reminds Danielson that he choked him out and put him out for two months. He then tells him to watch his back, as he never knows when he will hit him. Danielson is suddenly attacked from behind by Jake Hager.

Jay Lethal beats Dax Harwood after countering a roll-up with one of his own and grabbing the tights. After the match, Sonjay Dutt tells Dax Harwood that at All Out, Jay Lethal will team with two close personal friends of theirs - The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) - against FTR and Wardlow at All Out.

Backstage, Tony Schiavione interviews Thunder Rosa, who tearfully announces that she must step down as AEW Women's World Championship due to injury and that an interim AEW Women's World Champion will be decided at All Out. She hopes that Toni Storm becomes interim champion and makes her dreams come true, then says that this will not stop her. Thunder Rosa says she will come back better and stronger with a chip on her shoulder.

Colten Gunn beats Billy Gunn with a low blow behind the referee's back and the Colt 45 after Stokely Hathaway attacks Anthony Bowens from behind at ringside before Austin Gunn does the same. After the match, Hathaway hands Austin and Colten two of his business cards, then attack Billy Gunn and The Acclaimed ("Platinum" Max Caster and Anthony Bowens) before Swerve In Our Glory (Keith Lee and Swerve Strickland) show up and chase Austin and Colten away. Keith Lee then helps Billy Gunn up.

Backstage, Tony Schiavone interviews Death Triangle (PAC, Penta el Zero Miedo, Rey Fenix) and United Empire (Will Ospreay, Kyle Fletcher, Mark Davis). Will Ospreay mentions the draw from their last match as he states United Empire will win trios gold. PAC says Death Triangle have been waiting for this moment and that they will murder - not kill - United Empire as they find out the hard way that AEW is Death Triangle territory.

Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. beats KiLynn King with the Lockjaw. After the match, Britt says it a shame what happened to Thunder Rosa before stating that she wrestled with a broken wrist while champion. Toni Storm shows up, but Jamie Hayter also shows up and attacks Toni as Rebel shows up with a Terrible Towel. Suddenly, Hikaru Shida shows up with a Kendo stick and chases Britt, Rebel and Hayter out of the ring.

Backstage, Tony Schiavone interviews Swerve In Our Glory (Keith Lee and Swerve Strickland) and The Acclaimed ("Platinum" Max Caster and Anthony Bowens). Swerve In Our Glory tell The Acclaimed that they would make worthy opponents for the AEW World Tag Team Championships at All Out. Caster says that they do not need their help or their pit, then The Acclaimed accept their challenge.

Jon Moxley beats CM Punk to become the undisputed AEW World Champion after Punk injures his left foot with a kick to Moxley's head and Moxley works on the foot before hitting two Death Riders.

Backstage, Tony Schiavone interviews Christian Cage. Christian says he extended an olive branch and one last chance to apologize last week for what he did to him, and says he did what he did out of tough love, not malice. He says that Jungle Boy will not be as smart as he is and that he had the audacity to challenge him for All Out. Christian says he has seen and done it all, and Jungle Boy will find out that he is an anomaly, as Jungle Boy is not in his league.

"Absolute" Ricky Starks heads to the ring. Starks says he is not in the best of moods and that he is pissed off from Team Taz breaking up, losing the FTW Championship, dealing with The Factory and being betrayed by Powerhouse Hobbs. Starks says that he thought he was the exception to the rule that there is no such thing as friends in wrestling when he and Hobbs were partners in crime, but the thing about people wanting to see you do well is that they don't want you doing better than them. He says that he took Powerhouse Hobbs and showed him what it was like to eat at his table, and mentions that Hobbs nearly put him back on the shelf when he hit him in the back of his neck. Starks says that Hobbs is a snake and that where he comes from, they cut the heads off of snakes, and tells Hobbs to bring his "five dollar ass" to All Out and fight him.

Backstage, Jon Moxley says that the people who are surprised that he quickly won tonight are the same people who wrote him off. He says those people do not matter, and that he is "the guy" in this industry. Moxley then says that his time is right now.

We see a video package of Kenny Omega's return.

United Empire (Will Ospreay, Kyle Fletcher, Mark Davis) beat Death Triangle (PAC, Penta el Zero Miedo, Rey Fenix) to advance in the Trios Title Tournament. During the match, PAC attacks the man in the crowd with the box on his head who has been seen in the front row for months. Someone ends up being underneath the box, and Kip Sabian - who is rumored to be the one who has been wearing the box the whole time, attacks PAC from behind and takes him out. After the match, The Elite (Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson, Nick jackson) show up and have a staredown with United Empire. Don Callis has to stop Kenny Omega from fighting United Empire himself.
