Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for November 13, 2024

Christian Cage and "Hangman" Adam Page beat The Bang Bang Gang ("Switchblade" Jay White and Juice Robinson) after Mama Wayne distracts the referee so that Kip Sabian can smash the contract cage into Juice Robinson's head. During the match, Hook grabs "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne from behind the barricade, and both of them brawl their way backstage.

Mercedes says she is not afraid of Kris Statlander before Statlander suddenly watches her from behind, and when Mercedes notices her, she brawls with both Mercedes and Kamille, putting both of them through a wall in the process.



Tony Schiavone interviews Will Ospreay in the ring. Ospreay says he has a lot of questions that he needs answers for, then takes the microphone and allows Schiavone to leave the ring before calling out Kyle Fletcher. Fletcher shows up and says The Don Callis Family begged him not to show up by himself, but he is no coward, and he called Ospreay out for only for Ospreay to lick his wounds at home rather than show himself. He reminds Ospreay that the Family is never very far behind and warns him that he will be sent home for longer than three weeks if he puts a finger on him, then Ospreay says he did not come alone and tells him to pull the screwdriver out before getting in the ring. Fletcher replies, and Ospreay throws it out of the ring before talking about everything he did for Fletcher and how they both know each other so well, then says he wants answers and wants answers only from Fletcher. Fletcher says Don Callis did nothing but open his eyes to the truth, and says Ospreay helped him for his own benefit to keep him under his wing and make him into a clone with less success than Ospreay, and calls him "selfish" and "a hypocrite." He also says that Ospreay would have done the same thing in his situation, but Ospreay tells Fletcher to either be an Ospreay clone or not be one after doing the same things that he did to stand out. He also says that he has held championship gold everywhere he has went, then asks Fletcher what he has done before stating that Fletcher has done "sod all." Fletcher says he would rather talk about what he is going to do, which is surpass Ospreay and all of his accomplishments, and he plans to prove that intention at Full Gear in a one-on-one match. Ospreay says that Fletcher did all this for five minutes of fame, then accepts his challenge before stating that Fletcher has taken a piece of him and his own son away from them, and he plans to beat him at Full Gear. Fletcher tells Ospreay that he will take everything from him before "The Machine" Brian Cage and Lance Archer join him, then Powerhouse Hobbs and Mark Davis show up. This leads to a three-on-three brawl. Ospreay gets the boot on Fletcher in front of Mark Davis, and the brawl makes its way to the back before Lance Archer walks to the ramp to take on his opponent. He soon get shit with a shinai from behind by Roderick Strong, starting the next match, which is Falls Count Anywhere.



Roderick Strong beats Lance Archer in a Falls Count Anywhere Match following a jumping knee over a barricade in the crowd. After the match, Roddy tells MJF, who has been watching from home, that this will all end at Full Gear and that he will finish him. He is then attacked from behind by "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita. Adam Cole shows up and starts brawling with Takeshita, then clotheslines him out of the ring. This starts the next match.



"The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita beats Adam Cole after knocking him out with the Dynamite Diamond Ring, making MJF's World Championship match at Full Gear against solely Roderick Strong, much to the pleasure of MJF, who is still watching from his home. After the match, Roderick Strong runs into the ring and attacks Takeshita only to get kicked in the groin, and Takeshita puts the Dynamite Diamond Ring back on only for Kyle O'Reilly to run in with a metal folding chair, forcing Takeshita to retreat.

MVP takes over on the interview and says that Bobby Lashley is one of the most indomitable forces and dominant champions in wrestling, and asks him how he will fell ending a young man's career. Lashley says Swerve is dangerous, but he will make sure that he hurts Swerve.

Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta are seen attacking JD Drake on the ramp with a metal folding chair before they, Jon Moxley and Marina Shafir head to the ring. Moxley says he has been thinking about Orange Cassidy a lot these last few days and that Orange has played the game very well, then says Chuck Taylor is eating his food through a straw and that Wheeler Yuta belongs to him because Orange could not save them. He says that Orange has the shot of a lifetime at Full Gear and that everyone is depending on him, yet he is cool as a cucumber, and for that, he has to make an example out of Orange and brutalize him. Moxley says he will stomp his face into hamburger meat and mutilate him so badly his mother will not be able to recognize him. He then proclaims that everyone will see that and run and hide while The Death Riders (Moxley, Claudio, Wheeler, PAC, Shafir) do what they want because he commands the World Championship and they have the power. Orange Cassidy shows up, and Mark Briscoe and Rocky "Azucar" Romero soon join him before Orange tells Moxley that he agrees with and believes him because of what is in Shafir's briefcase, as it contains what represents what professional wrestling can be: the power. He says that Moxley may have the World Championship and that they can fight everywhere, but the only way to become World Champion is to wrestle, and for someone who hates to wrestling, he has not only done a lot of it, but he has beaten Moxley. Orange then says they will wrestle and that he will beat Moxley again, and he will take back the power. He then says there are a few pawns to get rid of in this chess game, starting with Wheeler Yuta, and next week, he will remove "the pawn that lets [him] take the king."Moxley says that if Orange wants Yuta next week, then he will see if Orange has the guts to pull the trigger, then warns him and anyone else who wants the World Championship to "abandon all hope." As The Death Riders leave through the crowd, they are attacked by Darby Allin, and Orange, Moxley, and Romero rush to even the numbers game before everyone brawls their way to the back. Moxley and Shafir are seen leaving in a black Dodge pick-up track, and Claudio - but not Wheeler - catches up with them, as does Darby Allin, who dives into the bed of the truck only for Claudio to grab him and swing him into a metal door. Wheeler then jumps into the truck, and Mark Briscoe and Rocky Romero show up too late to do anything.

He says that they had a tough match two years ago, and that it is apropos that they face each other again, and that this time, he will invoke the glory of past Ring of Honor World Championship while he teaches Ishii a lesson he will never forget. Bryan Keith says that Jericho will blow Ishii away.

Swerve says that everybody has the bright idea to come for him now that he is back, and use his name, equity and accolades to prove a point. He says that Lio Rush just tried out and failed, and that Shelton Benjamin also failed. Swerve then calls Bobby Lashley out for a fight, and Lashley arrives with MVP. MVP tells Swerve that if he wants to fight a member of The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin) , all he had to do is ask so he can set it up, then says that they wanted to recruit him due to his untapped potential. He then says that Swerve has yet to learn that there is strength in numbers before Swerve is suddenly attacked from behind by Shelton, which sets Swerve up for a beating from Lashley. Shelton and Lashley attack Swerve as MVP holds down Prince Nana from behind with his cane to force him to watch the beating that Swerve is getting.

As she says she is coming for one thing, the screen goes black, and Julia Hart wakes up in her bed. There is blood on her shirt as she takes a phone call on a rotary telephone. Brody King tells her to come home on the other end, and Julia finds out that the line has been cut. She pours water on her face in the bathroom, but the lights turn red, and she opens the windo shutters to be handed a bow, a quiver of arrows and her familiar hat from The House of Black (Malakai Black, Brody King, Buddy Matthews).

He says that The Young Bucks can do whatever they want, because they will take the tag team gold back and everyone loves The Acclaimed. Max Caster tells The Elite to shove the fine up "their virgin asses" before starting a rap. Brandon Cutler shuts down the rap before it can get started and proclaims that tonight should be a night of praise for The Elite, as they have held the show on their shoulders since day one and The Acclaimed disparage them every chance they get. As Cutler fines The Acclaimed $10,000, Interim EVP Christopher Daniels shows up and announces that the fines have been reversed.

Christian then notices something on an easel that is covered in a black mantle, and Nick hands Christian a Father's Day card, which Christian reads. Nick says he dreams of having half of Christian's talent but will continue to prove his worth. Christian then removes the black mantle to find a sketch of Christian made by Killswitch himself, and while Christian says the sketch is okay, he likes Nick's Father's Day card more and says he will cherish the card forever.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for April 17, 2024

Jon Moxley heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Moxley says he has always had people tell him what he can or cannot do or accomplish, and that he has always told those people to kiss his ass and watch him as he climbs mountain after mountain, as being great is about what is inside. He mentions the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship that he carries on his shoulder, and says that the championship is steeped in history and illustrious to the extreme, and that he has chased it for five years of pain and heartache, wins and losses, blood and sweat. Five years ago, people considered him holding the title impossible, but they did not know what was inside of him, as it is what it is really about when one's back is against the wall and willing to dig deep and go far. Moxley says that this is what AEW is about, then addresses The Don Callis Family, which contains some very talented individuals who are in league with "a creep" he has no time for who is also feeding them lies. He also mentions the hit that they put out on "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson, and if they are going to put a target on Danielson's back, they might as well put one on his. He says that if they want to be violent tough guys, they are welcome to find him, for he will be here all night. He considers doing some violent deeds to do to them, but he feels The Don Callis Family will learn nothing, so he has another idea. Moxley proposes challenging Powerhouse Hobbs in the main event of next week's show, and that Hobbs will find out just how out of his depth he is when he gets in the ring and he will drag him into the deepest water and learn the difference between them. He also says that he will learn that Don Callis is feeding him lies, and that he will find out that Jon Moxley is the greatest in the world.



We hear from Mercedes Moné. She talks about how somebody attacked her in the dark because they were afraid to face her in the light. She says that she picks herself back up plans to pay back whoever attacked her, who she thinks is either Julia Hart or someone who does not want to face her at Dynasty when she is healthy. Mercedes puts the women's division on notice, then says she will watch Julia's match carefully, and says there is a price to pay "when you mess with Mercedes' money."

Before the next match, it is revealed that Willow Nightingale has been attacked backstage. The lights go out, and when they come back on, Adam Copeland is attacked from behind by Brody King while Julia Hart watches from the stage.

The House of Black (Brody King and Julia Hart) beat Adam Copeland and Willow Nightingale. During the match, Willow makes it to the ring, but as Copeland and Willow have Brody King where they want him, Julia Hart knocks out Willow with a chain wrapped around her fist. This allows Julia Hart to beat Willow with Hartless and win the match. After the match, Mercedes Moné shows up with a metal folding chair and chases Julia out of the ring. Mercedes drops the chair when Copeland enters the ring, and she and Copeland shake hands.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Samoa Joe. Joe says he originally viewed Swerve Strickland as a worthy adversary, but now he views him as a nuisance, as he keeps standing up after he knocks him down, which makes him more of a prerequisite for a punching bag than a champion in his eyes. Joe admits he was worried his possessions were in the hands of someone who would never get them or needed to be disinfected, then says Swerve has always come up short and has been "a choke artist" when it comes to championship gold. He says that history will repeat itself when he puts Swerve down and retains the AEW World Championship at Dynasty, saying that Swerve will continue to be "a choke artist" and that he will be the one to choke him out.



We see a video package for The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) vs. FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) in the finals of the AEW World Tag Team Championship Tournament, which is interrupted by The Elite (Matthew, Nicholas, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada).

Okada tells PAC that he will not make it to Dynasty and that he is a dead man.

The Elite (Matthew Jackson, Nicholas Jackson, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada) beat Daniel Garcia, Penta el Zero Miedo and PAC in a trios match. During the match, Matthew Jackson grabs a microphone and screams at Daniel Garcia, asking why AEW hired Garcia. Garcia responds with a belly-to-back suplex before tagging in PAC. After the match, The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) hit Garcia with the EVP-Trigger, then bring a ladder into the ring and place Garcia with it. PAC chases The Elite out of the ring by swinging a ring bell hammer at them.



NHRA Funny Car driver Austin Prock is seen in the crowd.

"Lionheart" Chris Jericho heads to the ring, where Taz is waiting. Jericho's entrance is soon followed by Hook's entrance. Jericho thanks Taz for making this possible, then says he pulled Hook out of the apron - and calls what happened to Katsuyori Shibata "collateral damage" - because Hook was not listening to him as much as he should, and that he is doing this for him. Jericho then says that he is "the learning tree" and that everyone who has listened to him have gotten to the next level and have become better performers and people, and that he wants this out of Hook as well. He says that he wants him and Hook to reach the highest of highs and reach the top of "Wizard Mountain," and asks Hook if he is willing to put his animosity aside and sit under the learning tree. Hook simply says "No," and tells Jericho that he does not need his help. Jericho tells Hook not to be stupid, and when Taz intervenes, Jericho tells him to stop, and says he is giving Hook proper guidance like Taz should have 30 years ago. Jericho says he just wants to remove the dead weight in Hook's life, and tells Hook that he is not as good as he thinks he is. Taz tells Jericho to calm down, but Jericho tells him to stop, and he eventually shoves him when Taz does it a third time. Hook soon confronts Jericho and shoves him into the corner, telling him that he has crossed a line and that he will show him how good he is anytime and anywhere before demanding he leave the ring. Jericho slowly leaves the ring.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Swerve Strickland. Swerve laughs as he states that he has hard what Samoa Joe has had to say, then says he is no "choke artist." He admits he has stumbled throughout his career, but proclaims he has always fallen forward to success. He says he has been thrown into a coffin, stapled, thrown into barbed wire and even bloodied in a contract signing, but he always gets back up, and says Joe can call him whatever he wants, because he will soon be calling him champion. When asked what makes him so confident he can beat Samoa Joe at Dynasty, Swerve stands up, throws off his jacket and declares that he will tell Joe what makes him so confident to his face tonight.



"The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo beats Mariah May by countering a roll-up with one of her own. After the match, "Timeless" Toni Storm and Mariah May attack Deonna, then Thunder Rosa runs into the ring and knocks down Luther on the way in. Thunder Rosa fends off Toni and Mariah, but this leads to an argument and a shoving match between Thunder Rosa and Deonna. Mariah and Toni take advantage of the situation, and as Mariah and Deonna brawl, Thunder Rosa knocks Toni out and smears purple lipstick all over her face.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Bullet Club Gold ("Switchblade" Jay White, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn). "Switchblade" Jay White says they have been having a blast during the last couple of months, and that they will fulfill their destiny at Dynasty and take the AEW World Trios Championship in a Winner Takes All Match against The Acclaimed ("Platinum" Max Caster, Anthony Bowens, "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn).

Moxley fends them off one by one before getting in a brawl with Hobbs, and he and Claudio soon stand tall in the ring.



Swerve Strickland and Prince Nana head to the ring. Strickland says that as of last week, when he knocked Joe out and left fear in his eyes as he held the World Championship over his head, Samoa Joe showed him everything he needed to see. He says Joe knows that he will beat him at Dynasty, then states that he and Nana are here so he can say that to Joe's face. Samoa Joe shows up with multiple members of security surrounding him, and Swerve jumps off the top rope and levels all of the security guards before staring Joe down at the bottom of the ramp. When Swerve tells Joe that he is taking his title, both men brawl, and Joe throws Swerve into the ring steps. Prince Nana checks on Swerve in the ring, and Joe backs him into a corner before he is booted in the face by Swerve, who then hits the House Call.

Danielson talks about Jon Moxley winning the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship and his own match at Dynasty with Will Ospreay, then Claudio mentions Don Callis wanting Powerhouse Hobbs and Kyle Fletcher to hurt them. Claudio says it is easier for The Blackpool Combat Club to be beaten than hurt, as people have tried to do this for twenty years and they put in the work to be as good as they are. Danielson says he and Claudio hurt people every night, and Don Callis and his Family will see it all throughout the week.

Thunder Rosa thanks the fans all around the world for making the memories of the last five years possible and making AEW what it is today, then says she does not need "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo's help to win the Women's World Championship. She says she did so much on her own, especially getting to where she is in AEW, then wonders what happened to "Timeless" Toni Storm that made her who she is. She also says her body could carry her as much as her passion, but she has another opportunity at Dynasty. She says that at Dynasty, she will not only carry the Women's World Championship, but the pride of her people and the support of her family, and if she has to break every bone in her body to uplift and empower the women's division, so be it. Thunder Rosa says Toni made a mistake messing with her facepaint, then tells her that she cannot kill what is already dead and that she is coming for her and the Women's World title as she drags her soul to Hell.



Backstage, we hear from "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo. She says that if Thunder Rosa does not want her help, that is fine, as she will help herself.

Danielson says Ospreay has been emulating him, but he will never be able to walk in his shoes as he has not been on death's door. He says that Ospreay can keep talking about what he is willing to do, because he knows what he can do and he thinks Ospreay is not ready for that yet.
