Winter Is Coming - Dynamite recap for December 13, 2023

Samoa Joe heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Joe says he is looking for answers tonight, as he promised MJF he would leave him whole until he became AEW World Championship only to be made a liar by the machinations of a Devil after MJF was laid out in the back, jeopardizing his title opportunity. He mentions that a beer bottle enjoyed by a certain cowboy and "a lingering scent of Stetson and is disappointment," and that a certain cowboy was missing. "Hangman" Adam Page shows up and heads to the ring and dares Joe to accuse him like the man that he thought he was, and says he does not care about what is going on with MJF. Joe says Hangman has come out thinking he was here as a detective when he has made up his mind to be the executioner, and as Hangman dares Joe to do something about it, Roderick Strong shows up with The Kingdom (Matt Taven and Mike Bennett). Roddy says Joe is lucky he was not attacked last week, then says Joe should listen to Hangman due to him being his young boy. He also mentions Jay Lethal and The Acclaimed being attacked after being involved with MJF and that only the aftermath of MJF's attack was seen. "Hangman" Adam Page interrupts Roderick Strong only to punch him in the face, and as Samoa Joe leaves, Roderick Strong attacks Hangman from behind.

"Hangman" Adam Page beats Roderick Strong with the Deadeye after fending The Kingdom (Matt Taven and Mike Bennett) on the outside.

Andrade el Idolo beats Brody King in the Blue League of the Continental Classic after sending Brody King into an exposed top turnbuckle and earns three points.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interivews Kevin, Ross, and and Marshall Von Erich. Kevin says he loves AEW, especially with some of his friends being there. Suddenly, Orange Cassidy shows up with Danhausen and Trent Beretta and offers Ross and Marshall Von Erich a chance to team with him on Rampage. They accept.

Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho head to the ring. Jericho says they have not been here in a while due to Big Bill and "Absolute" Ricky Starks attacking them, then calls Big Bill and Starks out. Big Bill and Starks show up. Starks says that he has no problem with Kenny, but says Jericho sucks the life out of everything. He says this makes him question Kenny and whether or not he can trust Jericho, and Big Bill says they would not be surprised if Jericho turned on him. Omega says even Jericho knows he doesn't trust him, then mentions The Firm and says it was more like "The Flaccid" and "Sawft" after what happened with MJF. Omega then says he is the king of receiving beatdowns and gets one every two weeks, then says they have a tag team title shot down the line and that they could take their titles and put them around his and Jericho's waists. Starks accepts the challenge, then tells Jericho to remember January, as he beat him twice - with a reminder from Big Bill - and says he and Big Bill are the best tag team there is without a name. Jericho calls Starks and Big Bill "The Absolute Assholes" and "The Rick and the Dick" before calling them "Big Billie Starkz." Starks says he can excuse the name, but not Jericho's outfit, comparing him to a vampire at Hot Topic. Jericho says that if he wanted to sink his teeth into someone, it would be someone with more charisma, as all he sees is a better dressed, less charismatic version of Enzo Amore. Kenny says that the real Enzo Amore would actually hype up Big Bill. Starks says that he is getting pissed off with Kenny and Jericho and accepts the challenge for Worlds End, then tells them to prove it if they think they have something better than them.

"Timeless" Toni Storm guests on commentary for the next match.

Riho beats Ruby Soho.

We hear from Wardlow, who says that he has been preparing physically, mentally and spiritually for war since his return, and he has left a path of pure mayhem behind him, destroying every single person in his way.
