Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for February 28, 2024

"Hangman" Adam Page heads to the ring to start tonight's show, and he is seen carrying a crutch under his right arm. Adam Page says that when AEW started, it was an important endeavor for his friends, but for him, it was a goal to meet and exceed the fans' expectations, which is why it hurts to have the World Championship in front of him only for him to be injured. He talks about how he considered a three-way match for the AEW World Championship "bullshit" and that the potential singles match had the wrong two competitors, then refuses to apologize for that before announcing he will not be able to compete at Revolution. Prince Nana and Swerve Strickland show up, and Swerve says that he and Hangman have been through war in the last six months and that he did not expect this to happen. He says that he targeted Hangman because of everything he accomplished, then says that one cannot fight fate or escape destiny and that his destiny is to go on to become AEW World Champion. Samoa Joe shows up and says it looks like Hangman and Swerve are trying to hug it out, and says they have only gone after each other because they forgot who the real man around AEW is and says they are hungry because he is starving them. Joe says that regardless of whoever he faces at Revolution, he will whip both of their asses. Swerve says he went from unemployed to main eventing pay-per-views and from a cruiserweight to a world champion, and that he will do what it takes to become champion. He also mentions what he did to "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne - breaking into his father's gym and leaving him in a pool of his own blood - as he says he will do whatever it takes and that he is on the verge of making history, and on Sunday, he will become world champion. Swerve is then attacked from behind by Hangman, who is actually not injured at all. Hangman then tells Swerve he will not have the world title and then tells Joe that he will become world champion.

Don Callis, "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita and Powerhouse Hobbs show up and head to the ring, and Callis says there is nothing he likes more than a family reunion. He says that when he thinks of talent, he thinks of Kyle Fletcher, Konosuke Takeshita and Will Ospreay, and says that Will Ospreay needs to top what he has done by having the match of the decade with Konosuke Takeshita.
