Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for July 31, 2024

MJF heads to the ring to start tonight's show. MJF makes fun of the South Carolina fans, telling them to keep their "meth-addicted" mouths shut so he can talk to "real America," and calls Will Ospreay "a Redcoat terrorist" that he beat to bring gold back to America. He says that he will be walking into enemy territory and beating Ospreay once again at All In, then asks the fans to show some respect, have some decorum to rise for their American hero. Suddenly, Will Ospreay shows up, and MJF slides out of the ring and runs to the back as Ospreay slides in. Ospreay tells MJF to keep running as he will put him through pain he cannot imagine for talking about his family. He says that people refuse to acknowledge the American Championship because MJF is holding it and because MJF threw the International Championship in the trash like a piece of garbage. Ospreay says men like PAC, Orange Cassidy, Jon Moxley, Rey Fenix, Roderick Strong and himself have worked to bring prestige to the title and perform like no tomorrow for the fans while MJF fails to fit that criteria. He says that MJF is unworthy of holding the title or representing the American spirit, and that when MJF heads to London, he will restore honor to the International Championship. MJF calls the fans "disgusting turncoats" for liking Ospreay, then says he is an American hero with morals and lets his action do the talking, and at All In, he will annihilate him in front of all of his "crooked teeth" countrymen. He then says he has a feeling that Ospreay will not make it to All In, because tonight, everybody dies. Lance Archer shows up for the opening match.

Will Ospreay beats Lance Archer. After the match, Ospreay is attacked from behind by MJF, who then hits Ospreay with a brainbuster in the middle of the ring. MJF then dons the Dynamite Diamond Ring, but Kyle Fletcher suddenly shows up and fights MJF, who soon retreats. Kyle Fletcher tells Don Callis that Ospreay is his best friend, and while he is not part of the Don Callis Family, he is laying in a heap due to a "self-centered narcissistic arsehole" and he will not let him attack people without repercussion. He tells MJF that he is his karma coming to bite him in the arse and that he only cares about himself, and that he came to America because it is where the best wrestle and it is given him his dream house, car and girl. He says that everyone getting tired of "the same old MJF bullcrap" and dares him to get in the ring so he can punch him in the ring a couple more times. MJF teases getting in the ring, even tearing his shirt off, then says "no" and that he calls the shots, calling Fletcher "a wanna-be Will Ospreay." He says nobody punches him in the face and gets away with it, and if he wants a match, he will get one next week, but if he thought All In last year was bad, he will Kangaroo Kick his face off and make sure he suffered the same fate as Daniel Garcia when he breaks his neck and leaves him in a pool of his own blood. MJF then says that he cannot wait to see the look on Ospreay's face when he dismantles Fletcher.

We see a video package for Swerve Strickland.

Backstage, Alex Marvez interviews The Learning Tree ("The Learning Tree" Chris Jericho, Big Bill, "The Bad Apple" Bryan Keith). Big Bill has a cake to celebrate 102 days of Chris Jericho as FTW Champion, and Jericho says there has never been a cake in wrestling that did not get smashed in someone's face, then says that will not happen and that he will smash "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata's face. He says that he may not be able to take care of Shibata, but Bryan Keith will. Bryan Keith tells Shibata to stay out of Jericho's business before stating that he will become Shibata's business, then Big Bill hands the cake to Alex Marvez. Keith tells Marvez that if he respects Chris Jericho, he will eat the cake.

Kris Statlander beats Willow Nightingale in a CMLL World Women's Championship Eliminator Match after Stokely hands Statlander a chain and distracts referee Aubrey Edwards so that Statlander can hit Willow with it. After the match, Stokely helps Statlander hide the chain, then Kris Statlander hits Willow with a metal folding chair. Three security guards show up, and Statlander drops the chair before laying them out with her bare hands before Stokely tells her to stop.

"The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson heads to the ring. Danielson says it is great to be in Greenville, South Carolina, and mentions that he and his wife had their engagement photos here and that the town has a lovely downtown area. He says that while he and his wife Brie were looking through those pictures, he says that you don't realize they are "the good old days" until they are almost gone. Danielson says he is here to talk about present and promises, saying he has been very lucky regarding his career and since he came back from forced retirement, he has able to be present in "the good old days." He says the last three years have been the most fun in his entire career, and tonight, he was able to be present behind the curtain. This leads to a "Thank you, Bryan!" chant. Bryan admits that there are some moments that he will never understand, and for that moment, he was present. As for promises, he promised that he would stop wrestling full-time when his daughter turned seven. He has also promised his family that his current AEW contract, which ends tomorrow, will be his last, and that he promised the fans that every time he stepped into the ring, he would give it his all, as both he and the fans deserved it. He said he would kick people's heads in and win the AEW World Championship, and while he has kicked a lot of people's heads in during the last three years, he has not won the World Championship yet. He says that All In will be his last shot and that doctors and his family do not want him to wrestle, but he promises to go to Wembley Stadium, be present for that moment, and give the fans everything that he has and go all in, body, mind and soul. Before Danielson can say much else, Prince Nana and Swerve Strickland show up. Swerve admits he respects Danielson for inspiring a whole generation to achieve their dreams, and if this were any other time, he would be rooting for him. Swerve then says that it is his time and that he won the AEW World Championship like he said he would do, then says that he is so far ahead of his own time that people ten years later will be wanting to press rewind. He says Danielson has been kicking heads in, but he was unable to handle it when people started kicking back, then lets Danielson know that the AEW World Championship is not an achievement award and proof that you are the best in the world. Swerve says Danielson has been losing while he has been winning, and that he competed at All In while Danielson was too broken down to get a flight to London. He says that Danielson's body cannot handle being champion, then promises him that he is the most dangerous man in AEW and that Danielson will not be walking out of All In as champion. He also says that after he is done with him, Danielson may never walk again. Swerve and Nana are about to leave when Danielson promises that if he does not win the AEW World Championship, he will never wrestle again. Danielson makes their match at All In title vs. career, and both men shake hands on it before Swerve acknowledges the nobility of that move before telling him to keep the promise with his family.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson, who is soon met by Jeff Jarrett, Karen Jarrett, Jay Lethal and Sonjay Dutt, who congratulate him on going all in. Danielson tells Jeff Jarrett to see how "all in" he is when they face each other in a match next week.

Rush, The Beast Mortos and Roderick Strong beat The Conglomeration (Mark Briscoe, Orange Cassidy, Tomohiro Ishii) in a trios match.

We hear from The Acclaimed ("Platinum" Max Caster, Anthony Bowens, "Daddy" Ass Billy Gunn) backstage. "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn says they are coming to Collision, and Max Caster says they are looking for FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) in their home territory and are nowhere to be found, and accuses them of being scared. He says everyone loves The Acclaimed and that The Acclaimed love Greenville, South Carolina, then questions how serious FTR are after they refused to recognize him as a serious wrestler. Bowens says FTR are afraid to man up to what they said and that they will come to them on Collision, and hopes that they show up.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "The Glamour" Mariah May. Mariah says she does not have to explain herself any further and that she wanted to be just like "Timeless" Toni Storm, and she tore her open and wore her skin. She says Toni did nothing to her, which is why Toni was perfect. She says Toni gave her everything she ever wanted, and when she said the business would eat one alive, it was just her turn to eat. Toni then refuses to answer any further questions.

"Timeless" Toni Storm suddenly shows up and says that Mariah May said she loved her, and that she loved Mariah, too. She then says that "they say that you should take what you love and let it kill you," and that All In will be "the romance of a bloody lifetime."

We see footage from San Diego Comic Con last Thursday where Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. and Mercedes Moné have a physical altercation. Britt Baker vs. Mercedes Moné for the TBS Championship is now official for All In.

Kamille beats Brittany Jade. After the match, Mercedes Moné introduces Kamille as the newest member of "Moné Corporation." Mercedes says she has been victimized for weeks by Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. and that she has tried to be diplomatic only for Britt to take things way too far. She says that Britt Baker is obsessed her, and while her actions have gotten her the match she wanted, they have also gotten her suspended. She says that Britt Baker can talk about how she built AEW all she wants, because AEW is her house now and she will turn it into a mansion. She also says that losing to her will still be the greatest thing that will ever happened to Britt Baker's career, because money changes everything.

Darby Allin beats "Hangman" Adam Page with a La Magistral Cradle out of nowhere. During the match, the lights above the ring go out briefly, but they come back on. After the match, Hangman goes ballistic and throws metal folding chairs into the ring before Darby flips Hangman off at the ramp.
