Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for September 7, 2022

We see a video package of MJF's sudden departure and return from AEW.

We hear from Tony Khan. He announces that he has been forced to vacate the AEW World Championship and Trios Championships, and that new Trios champions will be decided tonight. As for the AEW World Championship, the new champion will be decided in a Grand Slam Tournament of Champions that starts tonight and ends at Grand Slam. Tony Khan promises that tonight will be a great night of wrestling and that AEW will be at their best for the next couple of weeks. (This comes after a very physical confrontation between CM Punk and The Elite [Kenny Omega, Nick Jackson, Matt Jackson] following incendiary comments towards The Elite from CM Punk at the All Out post-event media scrum.) br />

MJF heads to the ring. MJF declares "The devil is back!", then asks who is excited to see him, then mentions that the last time he was here, he said offensive things, then says everyone can agree that he did not mean it and that he loves AEW. He starts an "AEW" chant, then says that he didn't mean when he called the fans "stupid marks," as there is no MJF without the fans. He mentions the vacating of the AEW World Championship and says he knows one guy who deserves the championship. He says he is about working smart and not hard, and is avoiding the tournament thanks to the chip from the Casino Ladder Match. MJF also announces that Tony Khan is paying him "a load of freakin' money," and that if there is one thing that is known to be true, AEW is not in dark times and that he can provide the leadership AEW needs. MJF says he is not Moses and that he is "better than Moses," and that he will win the World Championship. Suddenly, Jon Moxley shows up and heads to the ring. Moxley tells MJF he is "absolutely full of crap," and MJF asks Moxley if he thinks he is not being completely honest in front of the fans, who he then trashes along with their football team after praising both just earlier. He then says that Moxley may have a point that he does not care about AEW or the fans and sees the World Championship as nothing more than "a bargaining chip for the bidding war of 2024." MJF also entertains taking the World Championship "to a real wrestling company with real wrestling fans" like WWE and work for "Jolly Old Saint Nick" Khan and Triple H, as it is "what is best for business." Moxley says this is not the time or place and commands MJF to leave the ring before he makes him leave. He takes off his jacket, and MJF unbuttons and removes his shirt. MJF has a brief staredown with Moxley before leaving the ring, and Moxley tells MJF his theme music sucks as he makes his way out before telling the fans he is pissed off and embarrassed about a lot of things, including not being champion. He says that while the championship belt is metal and leather, what is represents to him - passion for the support and the business by the fans and the wrestlers - is important. He says the championship represents a time when the world needed heroes and when people needed to know what wrestling could be, as well as the freedom to be as great as one can be. He also says that the championship represents being better today then one was yesterday among other things, and while he lost on Sunday and it is his fault, he has another chance to take the game-winning shot. Moxley mentions the other participants in the tournament, saying they are all better than he can ever be and that he is making "a hell of a shot," then says the winners always want the ball when the game is on the line and that he wants the ball. He says that he will take the shot, for this is not just the time to win, but the time to be a legend.

Death Triangle (Penta el Zero Miedo, Rey Fenix, PAC) beat Best Friends (Orange Cassidy, Chuck Taylor, Trent Beretta) to win the vacant AEW World Trios Championships. During the match, it is announced that The Acclaimed ("Platinum" Max Caster and Anthony Bowens) and Swerve In Our Glory (Keith Lee and Swerve Stickland) will have a tag team title rematch at Grand Slam.

Backstage, Tony Schiavone interviews The Dark Order. Suddenly, Jose the Assistant tries to get Preston "10" Vance to sign a contract, but Dark Order tells him to beat it. Andrade el Idolo and Rush show up, with Andrade el Idolo wanting to speak to 10, but Dark Order are not in the mood for them either.

We see backstage footage from All Out where Jamie Hayter does not want to hear any apologies from Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D.

Toni Storm beats Penelope Ford in an Interim AEW World Women's Championship Eliminator Match.

We see a video package of the aftermath between the team of Hook and Action Bronson and the team of "Cool Hand" Angelo Parker and "Daddy Magic" Matt Menard. Action Branson challenges Parker and Menard to a tag team match at Grand Slam.

As The Acclaimed ("Platinum" Max Caster and Anthony Bowens) make their entrance, they are interrupted by Swerve Strickland, who gets called an asshole by the fans. Swerve says The Acclaimed as AEW World Tag Team Champions is a joke, then Billy Gunn cuts him off and tells Swerve this is his house, not Swerve's, and Anthony Bowens says that thanks to the fans, The Acclaimed has a tag team title rematch at Grand Slam and will be taking home gold.

Backstage, Tony Schavione interviews Anna Jay, Chris Jericho, Sammy Guevara and Tay Melo. Jericho says he is better than ever after beating Bryan Danielson, saying he found the fountain of youth that Ponce de Leon could not find and is drinking it in. He says the he is the best sports entertainer ever and that he will beat Bryan Danielson again on the way to winning a world title for the eighth time because AEW is his. Jericho also hypes up Sammy Guevara's tournament match with Darby Allin later this week on Rampage, and Sammy says that Darby Allin will get his "turtle lovin' ass" beat. Jericho mentions Daniel Garcia's match for the Ring of Honor Pure Championship tonight and says that he believes in him and knows he can win, but he is on his own after recent action. Sammy is preoccupied with everyone's abs.

Wardlow quickly retains the TNT Championship against "The Premier Athlete" Tony Nese. After the match, "Smart" Mark Sterling gets on the apron, and as Wardlow grabs him for a powerbomb, Josh Woods runs in to save Sterling. Wardlow then mentions talk on the internet about him "losing it," then says he is the TNT Championship and that it is time to remind everyone that is his world.

We see a video package for Darby Allin vs. Sammy Guevara in the Grand Slam World Championship Tournament later this week on Rampage. Darby Allin says he will show up without Sting in his match with Guevara, and tells Guevara to do the same and come to the match on his own.

William Regal guests on commentary for the next match.

Bryan Danielson beats "Hangman" Adam Page after countering the Buckshot Lariat with a roll-up to advance in the Grand Slam World Championship Tournament.

We hear from Jungle Boy, who says that Christian Cage has only prolonged the inevitable and that when Christian comes back from surgery, he will take years off his career. He also becomes furious at Luchasaurus for turning on him after carrying his career on his back even when everyone thought Luchasaurus was a liability and a joke. Jungle Boy says a giant anchor has been released from around his ankle, and says that sometimes you have to move on from your past and sometimes you have to destroy it.

Stokely Hathaway shows up with "All Ego" Ethan Page, The Gunn Club (Austin and Colten Gunn), Lee Moriarty and W. Morrissey when a worker tells him he is low on time. Stokely grabs him by the shirt, demands respect, then punches him before The Gunn Club gang up on him. The Gunn Club then hold the worker down so that Morrissey can hit him with a big boot. Lee Moriarty looks into the camera and says "He got knocked the hell out!"

We see a video package for Dax Harwood vs. Claudio Castagnoli for the Ring of Honor World Championship this week on Rampage.

Westside Gunn performs as part of Daniel Garcia's entrance before the next match. Caprice Coleman and William Regal guest on commentary for the next match.

Daniel Garcia beats Wheeler Yuta with the Sharpshooter - now known as the Dragon Tamer - to become the Ring of Honor Pure Champion! After the match, Bryan Danielson heads to the ring. Yuta and Garcia shake hands, then Danielson takes the ROH Pure Championship so that he can place it around Garcia's waist personally. Chris Jericho shows up and shows legitimate concern as Danielson and Garcia talk before Danielson raises Garcia's hand, at which point Jericho is livid. The show ends.
