Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for February 16, 2022

CM Punk is in the ring at the start of the show. Punk talks about how he is straight edge just like he first did twenty years ago, then says he could sit here and feel pride that this helped shaped his career and others to follow. Punk then brings up MJF, saying that he tries to be like him but could never be able to think like him, then says he is proud of MJF for beating him in his hometown before saying he is really "shitty little Max from shitty little Long Island." Punk also brings up the fact that MJF used the Dynamite Diamond Ring - which he won with help from other people - to cheat to win, then mentions that he has the time and date for his rematch with MJF. He says that the match will take place at Revolution, then looks to the past and the toughest matches he has ever had in order to get MJF to learn something. He says that if MJF wants to be like Roddy Piper, he will have to be tethered to him. Punk then opens the box in front of him and produces two dog collars with a steel chain connected to them, proposing a Dog Collar Match between them. He then calls MJF out, saying he has one more thing to say and wants to look in his eyes when he does. MJF shows up, and Punk tells him to take it all in before producing a picture of MJF with Punk at an autograph signing, saying it was the greatest day of MJF's life, but for him, it was Sunday. He then says Revolution will be the worst day of MJF's life and that he will be sitting on a canvas stained with his blood, as the price he paid to meet him as a kid will be nothing to the price he pays at Revolution. MJF is about to say something, but he drops his microphone and walks away.

We see a video package chronicling the events between Bryan Danielson and Jon Moxley and the events leading up to Bryan Danielson vs. Lee Moriarty.

Backstage, Tony Schiavone interviews Christian Cage, Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus. Jungle Boy says he likes three-way matches and is no stranger to winning a battle royal, and Christian says that while the tag division is changing, they will stay tag team champs.

Melissa Joan Hart is seen in the crowd before the next match.

Bryan Danielson beats Lee Moriarty with a triangle sleeper after knocking him out by kicking his head in. After the match, Danielson says he came to the ring to teach Moriarty a thing or two about violence, then says he asked Jon Moxley to team up with him to create a whole new AEW and teach young wrestlers about violence. Danielson then says he wants an answer from Moxley, and Moxley heads to the ring. Moxley admits he has never beaten Danielson, and says that while the locker room was scared of Danielson when he showed, he was excited to finally get his chance to face him, but now, Danielson wants to join forces with him. He says that he has listened to what Danielson had to say and that while it would be awesome to team up and cause destruction, he also thought about how the two of them could leave a legacy and give back to the business. Moxley admits that no matter how hard he tried, he could not find a reason to say no, but then he got to thinking why Danielson would want to team with him and not stand across the ring from him. He says that Danielson knows that he would do to him what he has done to everyone else for the last three years, and if that is the case, he has already beaten Danielson. Moxley wants to know if Danielson wants to really team up with him or keep from being destroyed, and that he is not saying "yes", but he is not saying "no." He says he does not stand with anyone unless he bleeds with them first.

Tony Schiavone interviews "Hangman" Adam Page in the ring. Before Page can talk about his Texas Death Match with Lance Archer, Adam Cole shows up and congratulates Page on retaining while listing off some of the things that Page has done to keep the AEW World Championship. He says that Page has earned the right to call himself a world champion, then says he has been world champion everywhere he has gone and that it is a shame that his reign will have to end soon. Page says Adam Cole went elsewhere while his friends built an empire without him, and that he is now standing in front of his friend in Bullet Club with the world title he will never hold. Cole says that Page has not been associated with anyone in months and asks what kind of friend he is, and Page says that he is not perfect and that Cole does not have the best record with friends, either. He says that he has regrets and mistakes, and that the more he thinks about it, the more that Cole stepping into a ring with him is one of his biggest. Cole says that Page has gotten good, but now that he is in AEW, Page will be known as "the other Adam" just like in every other promotion they have been in. Page puts his title in the corner to fight Cole, but Cole says he has had nothing but admiration for him. He says that if he could share an AEW ring with anyone, it would be him, and when they face off in the ring, it will be for the AEW World Championship. He then says "May the best man win" and shakes hands with Page. After Cole leaves, Page is attacked from behind by ReDragon (Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly), and Cole joins in. Security runs into the ring to stop the beatdown, then The Dark Order runs into the ring to force Cole and ReDragon to retreat. 10 then attacks the security guards, and throws the last one out of the ring and into the rest of the members of security that he has levelled.

Jungle Boy tells Matt Hardy that Isiah Kassidy's watch is fake before telling Matt that they will see him on Rampage.

CM Punk heads to the ring. Punk says that he is sick of hearing himself talk and that he is dressed for battle, and that he wants to fight MJF. After starting an MJF chant, he unzips his jacket to reveal he has a MJF-style Burberry scarf, which he says is as cheap as MJF's personality. He also says it is not made of strong material because he found out it was made in Long Island, New York, then says that he wants MJF tonight. He then says that if he calls out MJF now, he will come out in a cheap suit with a load of excuses. MJF shows up and gets the crowd pumped for a match between himself and Punk before saying it will not happen, saying he will not waste an historical match on Cleveland, Ohio, which he says is "an absolute cesspool." He then says the match will happen next week in Chicago, Illinois, and that it will be Punk vs. MJF. He then says the people of Cleveland only think they want the match tonight, for while it will be spectacular, the outcome will be upsetting. MJF says he will beat CM Punk in Chicago, then everyone will see the real CM Punk who loses his fake smile the second he does not get what he wants, blames all his failures on everyone but himself and will sue to get his just due. He also says that the loss will cause CM Punk to leave wrestling again before making a reference to LeBron James leaving Cleveland and all the fans who supported him back in 2014. MJF says the "CM Punk" will not stop Punk from turning his back on the fans again and whining about it on a podcast. Punk says MJF only listens to his podcast because he is a fan, and says leaving and coming back is the best thing he ever did. Punk tells MJF to lace up his boots and face him, and says that MJF cannot realize that his heroes are human beings and that he would rather be himself and fail than be like MJF, talk a big game and never show up. He says that he has made decisions and that he has stood by them, and that the fans love him because he gets back up, tries and fight just like Cleveland and Chicago do. MJF decides to test that by bringing out FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Wardlow. Suddenly, Punk is attacked from behind by Shawn Spears, and the numbers game takes over, with FTR holding Punk down so Spears can hit him with a chair. MJF dares Punk to get up, and Punk grabs MJF by the scar only to be hit by a right hand from Harwood before Wardlow powerbombs him on the chair.

We hear from The House of Black. Malakai Black says he added insult to injury because the House is built on conflict, and that the fans who want violence and conflict will welcome Brody King as a brother and be thankful for him. Brody King says that PAC denounced the House and will be humbled, and that Death Triangle will beg for salvation, look for the teaching the House taught them, and thank the House, for just like death, the House is inevitable.

Tony Schiavone introduces Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. to the ring. Britt Baker says it has been a while since she has been in Cleveland, Ohio and a little while since she has been in the ring with a microphone, which she says is acclimated to her because CM Punk and MJF could not keep her name out of their mouths. She then mentions her Pro Wrestling Illustrated awards from 2021 and says that since she has won the AEW Women's World Championship, she has had nine singles victories. Britt then says that the women's division was a wasteland and that she turned it into a "Brittopia" when nobody else did, saying that she created the top spot and surpassed the entire roster to become the face of AEW. She says that she has made history since she got here while mocking the Cleveland Browns before saying she is here for the fans and that she will not settle until she becomes Female of the Decade, saying Cleveland has a Baker that they can count on.

We hear from Jon Moxley, who finds it hard to believe Kenny Omega being friends with two sets of tag team champions in The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) and The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) is going to work, as there is always drama between them. He also says Death Triangle (PAC, Penta El Zero M, Rey Fenix) do not like either team, much less him, and is surprised that they are no longer friends with Eddie Kingston and are now his tag team partners at Beach Break. Moxley says he is a simple guy who likes his beer cold, his coffee hot and his water at room temperature and likes to have sex in the morning because it is a good way to start the day, and that he only trusts his fists. He tells Penta and Fenix to buckle up for tag team warfare at Beach Break, and says it is going to be wild.

We hear from Darby Allin and Sting. Sting tells Team Taz that since they will be in a Street Fight with Team Taz ("The Machine" Brian Cage, "Absolute" Ricky Starks, Powerhouse Hobbs), who wants to throw false accusations at him and Darby, he takes offense to him and Darby being called "hoodlums" before saying Darby is a hoodlum. Darby says that in the streets, it does not matter how you play as long as you survive, then throws his skateboard throw a window before saying he is a hoodlum and no different than Sting, who breaks a few more windows with his black baseball bat.

Red Velvet then says she is here tonight because she is fed up and tired of getting attacked and watching Brandi get disrespected by Jade Cargill. She says that Cody would never lay a hand on Jade, but she will, because she is Red Velvet and she is about to "stir [her] bitch ass up."

The bell is tolled ten times in honor of Jon Huber aka Brodie Lee, who passed away this Saturday at the age of 41 from a non-COVID related lung issue. Brodie's wife Amanda and their two sons are at the center of the stage. (Nights One and Two of New Year's Smash are pushed back one week to allow for a celebration of life show where members of The Dark Order team with other members of the AEW roster in every match.)

We hear from Jon Moxley, who says that he has never had a harder time coming up with words in front of a camera than right now. Moxley describes Brodie Lee as a man who liked to stir the pot and as a man who brought joy to the locker room, and says that Brodie enjoyed being a husband and father more than anything else. He says that pro wrestling is a community and not just a sport, and that everybody supports one another when the chips are down, and that tonight, the life of a human being will be celebrated and will hopefully inspire someone to slow down and smell the roses, as every day he spent with Brodie is now all the more special.

The Dark Order (Evil Uno and Stu Grayson) and Lance Archer beat Eddie Kingston, The Butcher and The Blade. (In this match, Archer wears a white tanktop, blue jeans and a bandanna in the back pocket much like Brodie Lee's "Luke Harper" character in WWE. Also, Evil Uno pays tribute to Brodie Lee at the start of the match by booting Eddie in the face as the referee checks Eddie for weapons before the bell rings.) After the match, everyone on the winning team, including Jake "The Snake" Roberts, hits Eddie Kingston with forearms.

We hear from Dax Harwood, Arn Anderson, Colt Cabana and Bryce Remsburg about their memories of Brodie Lee as a loving husband and family man.

"Hangman" Adam Page and The Dark Order (Alex "3" Reynolds and John "4" Silver) beat The Inner Circle (MJF, Santana and Ortiz). (Before the match begins, Reynolds and Silver throw papers at Santana and Ortiz in a reference to Brodie Lee throwing papers at people on Being The Elite, with Adam Page doing it after the bell rings.) During the match, Wardlow clotheslines Reynolds, then Erick Redbeard (formerly known as Erick Rowan in WWE) shows up and fights Wardlow all the way to the back. Shortly after this, MJF rips the mask off of Brodie Lee's son (referred to as "-1" throughout the show) in the front row, and gets a Kendo stick shot to the head for his efforts. After the match, a tearful Erick Redbeard reappears in the ring with a sign saying "Goodbye for now, my brother, see you down the road."

We hear from Eddie Kingston, who says that he will miss Brodie Lee and tells Brodie Lee's sons that their father is not gone as long as they are alive and they remember his teachings, and calls Brodie Lee a warrior who took care of and loved his kids.

After the match, Tony Schiavone interviews Baker, who says she is sick and tired of the conspiracies around here and says that tonight's match was rigged. Suddenly, Thunder Rosa runs into the ring and attacks Baker, and Reba and a bunch of referees have to separate both women.

We hear from Chris Jericho, who describes Brodie Lee as a giant with an intelligent, wise and sarcastic sense of humor and of the best in-ring performers he had ever seen as he talks about how he helped bring him to AEW, where he proved he could be a main event star. He also talks about how his silver lab Oakley loved Brodie Lee even though Oakley is not known for being very friendly to other people.

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes, Orange Cassidy and Preston "10" Vance beat Team Taz ("The Machine" Brian Cage, "Absolute" Ricky Starks, Powerhouse Hobbs) in the Brodie Lee Jr. Six-Man Dream Match (so called because Brodie Lee Jr. aka "-1" is a fan of 10, Orange Cassidy and Cody Rhodes, and has picked all three of them to be in this match) after referee Bryce Remsburg stops a steel chair fight between Arn Anderson and Taz. After the match, Team Taz and Hook get in the ring and gang up on Cody, then the lights go out. When they come back on, Darby allin shows up from the stands, then the lights go out again. When they come back on a second time, Sting also arrives from the same door that Darby Allin came out of. Darby and Sting stand with 10, Cody and Cassidy as Taz and the rest of his team stands down.

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes is in the ring. He talks about a Samuel Johnson quote that he feels encapsulates Brodie Lee: "You can judge a man's character by how he treats somebody who can do him no good." After hearing so many stories from so many people about Brodie Lee, he says there is no other wrestler anywhere who had such a one-on-one connection like Brodie Lee, who he calls "a beautiful man" who leaves behind a beautiful legacy before bringing out Brodie's older son, Brodie Lee Jr. aka "-1," who arrives with his mom and Brodie's wife Amanda, Tony Khan and Preston "10" Vance. -1 places Brodie Lee's boots and a purple bandana in the center of the ring as tribute, and is presented with the AEW TNT Championship by Tony Khan, who declares -1 "TNT Champion for life." Tony Khan thanks the fans for coming out tonight for Brodie Lee and his family before presenting a video tribute to Brodie Lee featuring "Ol' 55" by Tom Waits. (Afterwards, it is revealed that Brodie Lee Jr. has signed a contract with AEW that will allow him to work with the promotion when he is of age, and that the current design of the AEW TNT Championship will be retired and that a new design will be introduced later. Also, Tony Khan has purchased the rights to "Ol' 55" by Tom Waits in perpuity so that the tribute can last forever.)

After the match, Jake Hager says it has been two weeks since The Inner Circle came together as a team, and since then, they have won, because every member of the group has done their job except for Wardlow. Hager says that Inner Circle is the real family business, and says that while Wardlow is an asset, he is also an asshole. Hager then announces that he has spoken with Tony Khan and has gotten a match with Wardlow for next week.

We see a music video from The Acclaimed for a song called "Buck Hunt," where Max Caster makes fun of them for quitting Twitter and accuses them of kissing wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer's ass for star ratings.

He then says that when he saw Cody Rhodes in the ring and what he was doing in AEW, he just could not stay away and wanted to be a part of it. Suddenly, Team Taz shows up, and Taz says Sting is all about himself and that he is tired of Schiavone building him up. Ricky Starks also mentions that Sting keeps sticking his nose in their business, and says he will get hurt playing around in "this jungle." Taz says he has four hungry tigers ready to bite Sting's head off, and as they approach the ring, the lights go out. When they come back on, Darby Allin is in the ring.

Tully also tells Marko that if he gets involved, he will have a flashback from the '80s.

Backstage, Alex Marvez interviews Don Callis and Kenny Omega in a nearby hotel. Callis says he does not understand how Tony Khan lets wrestlers run amok in WWE, and says that it needs to stop, as Omega is world champion and they do not get dictated by talent. Omega tells Rey Fenix that he choked everywhere he has been as of late, and asks what will happen if he faces somebody who despises him, saying he may not just hurt him and will put him out for good before Impact Wrestling takes him back.

Tony Schiavone interviews Shawn Spears. Spears says he is more talented than 95% of the roster as well as everyone else, and says that management has pushed him into a slot where he isn't and into a road that he has been down before.

Backstage, Alex Marvez interviews Kenny Omega, who says that the last uneventful week has given him time to reflect and that the more things change, the more they stay the same. He says that he was nursing injuries he received from Jon Moxley this time last year, and now they are doing the same dance again. He says the only difference this time is that Moxley's face is plastered everywhere and he is called "the best in the world," but after the World Title Eliminator Tournament, it is his turn, and the AEW World Championship is the only difference between them. Omega says he has climbed to the top to be taken seriously again, and until he gets the World title, he will not be the best in the world. In a "gentleman's challenge," he tells Moxley to "leave the garbage wrestling at home" and beat him in the middle of the ring based on his ability.

He says he will not leave the ring until someone in management shows up and makes the title mean something. It is not long before his microphone is cut off, and demands Justin Roberts give him his microphone. He then threatens to take over commentary if the second microphone is cut off, and the microphone is suddenly cut off. "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes then shows up and says Taz is done, then says he is here out of total respect and that Taz is wasting time, then says they can settle everything next week. Taz says that Cody and Darby Allin will get whupped next week, then demands that the FTW Championship be given the respect it deserves. Cody says somebody from management is here and that he can see what is going on here, then says he will run it up the flagpole. When Taz asks what that means, Cody mentions Taz's soon Hook being a wrestler and asks why Hook is training with him and not Taz. Taz is incensed with Cody for bringing this up and tells him he is pathetic for going that far, then Taz teases leaving only to put him in the Tazmission. The Nightmare Family shows up to check on Cody, then Taz leaves with his soon Hook.

Blanchard says it is FTR's destiny to be champions and his destiny to coach them, and that FTR are the next tag team champions. Blanchard then tells The Young Bucks to fear the revelation.

He then tells the fans to think about what Matt would do if they become overwhelmed: survive, thrive and win.

We hear from Team Taz ("The Machine" Brian Cage, "Absolute" Ricky Starks, Powerhouse Hobbs). Starks says that "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes has crossed the line, then says they love it in AEW and that Taz takes care of them, but he says Cody is the problem, as his paper-thin ego gets in the way and that he does not want people to remember that he and Cage beat them in their last meeting. He says that Cody has made it personal, and that he and Powerhouse Hobbs are going to bust heads next week.

Next week: Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. vs. Leyla Hirsch!

Before the next match, Miro interrupts Justin Roberts' ring announcing to tell Trent that the match is until he falls because he is stupid and ignorant and because his mother did not teach him any manners. This leads Trent to attack Miro before the bell rings.

Page says he knows all of Omega's moves and how to reverse them, but J.R. thinks that Page is nervous and not on his first whiskey. Page admits he is nervous, as does anybody who walks through the entrance tunnels, and while he may not have been the first AEW World Champion, this is the closest he has gotten since his match with Chris Jericho.

Eddie Kingston and Jon Moxley have their last face-to-face meeting before Full Gear.

Kingston says he had to sell out and become everything he hated to get the title, and says there is no saving him as he takes the title from Moxley. Moxley takes the microphone and says that the longer he has been in the business, the more he has learned that loyality is a bitch, and while he has been burned time and time again, he never thought Kingston would burn him. He tells Kingston that he was happy for him and for his mother, to whom he promised that he would watch Kingston's back.

As Kingston leave, Moxley tells Kingston that he will figure out that he is not the man he thought he was once he is alone with his ego, and that he will say "I quit."

We hear from PAC, who has not been seen on AEW programming in months. PAC says the funny thing about isolation is that you've got nobody to play with, and that he has been "a casaulty of this rotten world" for seven months.

The Gunn Club (Billy and Austin Gunn) and "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes beat The Dark Order (John "4" Silver, Preston "10" Vance and Colt Cabana). After the match, The Dark Order confronts The Gunn Club and Cody, and when John Silver tries to attack Cody and The Gunn Club from behind with a steel chair, Orange Cassidy shows up and stops Silver, hitting him with an Orange Punch. Cody then takes the microphone and says he does not like telling a story that is not true, but says that Darby Allin - who has watched the match from the upper balcony seats and is still watching from there now - has told people that TNT does not want them as their champion because he is too reckless. Cody says TNT would love someone like Allin as their champion, and if the situation was different, so would he, because he solely recruited him to AEW even when they were so unsure of Allin that Cody had to wrestle him himself. He tells Allin to look at the man who left the empire, went to war and actually won, then tells him that the truth that he speaks contradicts the lies a lot of people live. Cody says that Allin wants "the ace belt," but he is not the ace.
