Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for March 18, 2026

Will Ospreay beats "Vanilla Baby" Blake Christian. After the match, Ospreay admits that he missed the fans, then tells Jon Moxley that the biggest difference between them is that he does not need a weapon to snatch someone's neck and that he can do it with his bare hands. Jon Moxley and Wheeler Yuta shows up from out of the crowd, with Moxley hearing what Ospreay has just said. Ospreay jumps the barricade and goes at it with Moxley in the crowd, and Moxley runs to the ring and has Wheeler face him only for Ospreay to fight back with a trash can. Ospreay has Moxley in the ring, but he is suddenly hit with a pump kick to the face by PAC, who immediately puts Ospreay in the Brutalizer. Security and referees show up to pull PAC off of Ospreay. When The Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robbins, Austin Gunn, Ace Austin) shows up for the next match, Ospreay rushes at PAC and manages to get past security and officials to get to him.

In backstage footage from after Revolution, Kenny Omega says that Swerve Strickland is not dangerous to himself as he is to others, and challenges him to put his #1 contendership for the AEW World Championship on the line in a one-on-one match.

In the parking lot, Darby Allin drives up as Gabe Kidd is waiting for him, and he jumps out of his car and brawls with Kidd before blinding him with some sort of fluid. He then shoves him in the trunk and drives right over a ramp made of garbage, turning the car upside-down in mid-air. Allin then somehow gets out of the car, and the trunk ops out with an unconscious Gabe Kidd afterwards. Darby Allin gets away from the vehicle, then gets Gabe Kidd on top of an equipment crate and wheels him out. Darby Allin then pushes Gabe Kidd to the ring with the equipment crate, and the Coffin Match starts.

Darby Allin beats Gabe Kidd in a Coffin Match. After the match, Darby says he will hold the throttle until he sees either God or the AEW World Championship, then tells MJF that he is coming.

We see footage of Jurassic Express ("Jungle" Jack Perry and Luchasaurus) on a bus. Jack Perry packs up, then pulls out a walnut and summons a squirrel, who takes the walnut and runs off with it before Perrry gets on a bus to Fresno, California. Jurassic Express shows up at the venue, where he teams up with The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson), who admit that Revolution was a rough night and that they will pick themselves up from a loss and get back on top starting with "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada and RPG Vice (Rocky "Azucar" Romero and Trent Beretta) of The Don Callis Family.

Prince Nana is in the ring, and he introduces Swerve Strickland after bragging about what Swerve did to Brody King at Revolution. Swerve makes his way to the ring. Swerve talks about how he and Brody went to war and how the only real winners of wars are the ones with power. He admits that he enjoyed beating down Brody, but he was not satisfied, as the power in AEW still lies elsewhere, and power is sometimes more important that championships. Swerve says that he has dealt with people with power for a long time, and says that if it were not for The Young Bucks, he would be a two-time AEW World Champion by now. He then addresses Kenny Omega, and asks what good #1 contendership is if he does not have the power to protect it. Swerve says it makes no sense to beat Omega twice and have nothing to show for it, but he has something that interests him: his power. Swerve says he does not want Omega removed from power; instead, he wants his power, and he wants to block out anyone else who thinks they can get it. He tells Omega to offer up his EVP status if he wants his rematch, and states that when he beats Omega, he will become AEW's new Executive Vice President.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "Speedball" Mike Bailey, who says that he had to prove himself again and again and believe in himself while wrestling all over the world for twenty years to get everyone to believe in him. He says that people with that kind of tenacity are the people he looks up to, and includes people like Kenny Omega. He says that this kind of mental toughness not only makes a star, but a winner.

"Speedball" Mike Bailey beats Mike Davis. During the match, it is announced that this week's Collision will air after the NCAA Tournament and will air on both Saturday and Sunday.

In backstage footage from after Revolution, MJF says that he has had some of the greatest matches as well as the greatest World Championship reign of all time at Revolution. He says that he feels the effects of his match with "Hangman" Adam Page, but it is worth it because he won on his 30th birthday and has accomplished more than most Hall of Famers. He plans to go down as one of the best of all time and he is ahead of schedule, and while Hangman was in the way, Hangman is off the board and in the mid-card where he belongs while he has a one-way ticket to "GOAT" status for the next twenty years. On the subject of what he will do next when he has the cameraman ask him, MJF says he is going to Disney World.

Backstage, we hear from "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada and RPG Vice (Rocky "Azucar" Romero and Trent Beretta). Okada says he does not care about The Young Bucks' family and that he is only loyal to the Don Callis Family. He says that while Konosuke Takeshita is busy shaking hands with Jon Moxley, they will score a main event victory.

We see footage from earlier tonight of "Timeless" Toni Storm having been attacked. Marina Shafir neither confirms or denies that she did this, and says that if Mina wants to meet the same fate, she made the right choice.

Mina Shirakawa beats "The Problem" Marina Shafir in a no holds barred match with a champagne bottle shot to the face followed by the Storm Zero.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Andrade el Idolo, who wants the AEW World Championship. Jon Cruz suddenly shows up and hands Andrade a briefcase from MJF and shows a FaceTime call from Don Callis. Callis asks Andrade el Idolo to take the money, saying that MJF have paid them to take care of Darby Allin and that he will be the one to do it. Andrade reluctantly takes the briefcase.

"Jungle" Jack Perry and The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) beat The Don Callis Family ("The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada, Rocky "Azucar" Romero, Trent Beretta) in a trios match after biting The Don Callis Family in the dick collectively to counter three piledrivers. After the match, Nick Jackson admits that while The Young Bucks had a great trios match with Jack Perry tonight, they blew it at Revolution and felt for sure they would become tag team champions to the point that their families were in the front row. After Nick admits that FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) was the better team that night, Matt admits he was so embarrassed to look anyone in the eye at his birthday party. It took their father to tell them that they are the best tag team on the planet and that the fans still love them, and that he was proud of them. He says that their father is not wrong about this one, as The Young Bucks know who the hell they are, and that there is no team in the back that will stop them from becoming four-time tag team champions. Suddenly, Adam Copeland and Christian Cage show up, and Copeland admits that they respect The Young Bucks, saying that their match at Revolution was one of the best he had ever laid eyes on. Copeland also mentions how FTR attacked his wife Beth, and while he admits Beth is a badass, he could not look her in the eye. Now that Beth has turned the corner, he has come back to rectify the situation. Copeland says that to do that, he and Christian must take what matters most to FTR, which is the AEW World Tag Team Championships. He announces that he and Christian will face FTR at Dynasty for the tag team titles. Christian says it is also personal for him, too, as winning the tag team titles means he wins "a ton of extra money" and prove that he and Copeland are the best tag team of their generation and the best of The Young Bucks' generation. FTR and Stokely - now no longer in a wheelchair - show up, but nobody in the ring wants to hear from Stokely and tell him to shut up. Stokely sics FTR on both teams only for FTR to get laid out. The Young Bucks leave the ring as Copeland and Christian hold the AEW World Tag Team Championships to end the show.

Lexis King shows up and says that he can at least see Trick's point, but when he says Je'Von can eat solid food again but should really be sucking it through a straw, Je'Von punches him in the mouth.

The D'Angelo Family (Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, Luca Crusifino, Adriana Rizzo) gets ready for their match when Tony D'Angelo shows up.

D'Angelo is proud of Stacks for "thinking like an underboss" and says that Stacks has everything handled.

Stephanie Vaquer heads to the ring. Stephanie says that wrestling is her first language and that being a double champion proves it, and while she had the freedom to choose any brand, she chose NXT so she could make history in the best women's division on the planet.

As Stephanie awaits her first opponent, Jordynne Grace shows up and congratulates Stephanie, then reminds her that she beat Roxanne Perez, who elevated the NXT Women's Championship to a different level. As Jordynne says this victory puts her first in line, she is suddenly attacked by Jaida Parker. Jaida Parker says Jordynne is first in line for nothing and that the line starts behind her, and that she is not waiting until Stand & Deliver to make a point because she is shooting her own shots. She congratulates Stephanie and tells her to bask in her own glory, as it will not last long much longer, and she is standing ten toes down looking in her eyes for a fight and she will make her reap what she sows.

Thorpe says that Trick Williams is "a sports entertainer," just like Ricky Saints. Ridge says he will deal with business tonight much like how Thorpe will deal with his.

They then go back into the arena to do some more damage and truly make a statement.

Backstage, Kelly Kincaid interviews Ricky Saints, who says that he will deliver on his promises and that includes winning championship gold. The Culling (Shawn Spears, Niko Vance, Brooks Jensen, Izzi Dame) shows up, and Izzi Dame says that Saints may have the courage and charisma of a larger man, then looks down when she says he does not measure up.

Jimmy Uso soon shows up from the crowd, accompanied by Solo Sikoa. Jey and Jimmy have a staredown in the middle of the ring. Jey admits that despite the bad blood between them and the tense feeling between them, he misses him. As Jey tells Jimmy to come back, Jimmy says he never left, and that it was Jey's idea to leave The Bloodline. Jimmy acknowledges what Jey has accomplished on his own, then says Jey forgot him and that everything he did was because of him, including the biggest moment in his career. Jey disagrees, saying that his biggest match will be his dream match against Jimmy at WrestleMania, when he knocks the "yeet" out of him. Jey attacks Jimmy, but Jimmy fires back.

He says that this Friday on SmackDown, he and Roman will have a little conversation, then admits there are complications, namely The Rock, that he is dealing with. He addresses The Rock calling himself "your favorite heel," and Cody says that while he has known some heels, he says that The Rock is an asshole, not a heel, and says The Rock has been crying behind the scenes the whole time. Cody says that The Rock did this thinking it would be good public relations until it was not, and that the TKO people told The Rock to do what he has done because they are "yes men." Cody also admits that he considers The Rock "a Mount Rushmore wrestler," but also calls him a terrible salesman, "a carny succubus" and "a whiny bitch." He also says that he knows The Rock's mom, saying that she is a wonderful woman and a great person and The Rock does not know his mother, who got up beat and beat up an undercover cop at a Willie Nelson concert. Cody also says that Seth "Freakin'" Rollins does a good job at carrying the company against The Rock and Roman Reigns, and while he does not know how his second match with Roman will play out, he wants to know why The Rock is so sure of himself. He wants to know if The Rock will bring "The Great One" and bring that "Big Dwayne Energy" or if he will just bring "Little Dick Syndrome" when the bell rings at Night One, and addresses The Rock calling himself "The Final Boss," saying The Rock is just "Roman's side chick." Paul Heyman soon shows up and tells Cody that they both share are far greater than the interests on which they conflict, and apologizes for his sicking New York police detectves on him weeks ago. Cody says he did not ask for an apology, and lets him step into the ring on the grounds that he is a WWE Hall of Famer. Heyman stays on the ring apron and delivers a message from Roman Reigns. He says that Cody can think what he wants of him, then says Roman is a Tribal Chief of his word and that on Friday, there will not be a single other member of The Bloodline (Roman, Heyman, Jimmy Uso, Solo Sikoa) in sight aside from him when Cody meets with Roman.

When Sami wants to know what is going on with Gable, Gable soon tells Sami "You can't beat Gunther," and walks off.

General Manager Adam Pearce oversees a contract signing for Sami Zayn vs. Gunther for the WWE Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 40. Sami Zayn shows up, followed by Gunther. Gunther calls the contract signing the biggest one ever for the biggest WrestleMania title match ever, and wants to know why Sami Zayn is dressed like "a bum" in the crowd. Sami says Gunther's smugness is starting to piss him off, and while he acknowledges Gunther's accomplishments as Intercontinental Champion, he says that Gunther does not believe he can beat him. He says a lot of people did not believe in him in the last year until he accomplished things, and that he will make history again when he ends Gunther's reign as Intercontinental Champion. Sami then signs the contract. Gunther tells Sami that he should listen to Chad Gable, as Gable does not believe Sami can beat him, and says that while the fans love him, they do not believe in Sami, either. He also does not believe that even Sami himself does not believe he can beat him, and that Sami is begging to give him the beating of a lifetime at the grandest stage of them all, as his dreams will meet reality. Gunther signs the contract, and as he leaves, Sami asks Gunther if he does not think he believes in himself when he looks in his eye, then tells him to look again as he looking at the man who will take him down at WrestleMania.

Rollins and McIntyre argue, and Rollins says that he is here for an honest cause, and while he admits that he does not like him, he says that McIntyre is right about something. Rollins then says that he is "a spotlight junkie," and McIntyre asks if everything is a joke to Rollins and says that Rollins is past parody at this point before stating that the punchline will be beating Rollins for the World Heavyweight title at WrestleMania. As Drew addresses the "CM Punk" chants by saying that Punk would never show up in some place like Raleigh, North Carolina, Rollins says this is not a joke to him, as he has been doing this for twenty years and this is his fix. He says that it gets better and better every time when he leaves it all in the ring and hears the crowd sing his song so loudly that he can barely hear himself speak. He says that this is the spotlight for him and that he wants it to be the brightest he can be, and tells McIntyre that at Night One, he will take the biggest star in Hollywood and "his side chick" and make them his bitches. He then says that the brightest spotlight possible will be on him and McIntyre for the World Heavyweight Championship on Night Two. McIntyre says this passion is what he wanted from Rollins all the way to the finish. He also says that Rollins had him until he mentioned a spotlight again, and says that all he cares about is Rollins making his way to the ring at Night Two, as he will get the moment that he has not deserved, but earned. Rollins says McIntyre wants to call him a spotlight junkie, but also wants the spotlight, as he won the WWE Championship in an empty warehouse and said that he always deserved more, but when the fans returned and the lights got brighter, he fumbled the ball. Rollins says he shines under the brightest lights, and that when the lights are brightest again, McIntyre will find out he is not as great as he thinks he is.

We hear from Becky Lynch, who says that all she knows is taking risks and fighting despite not being champion yet, and that she will be doing it again when she fights to become last woman standing.

Brett says there is a house full of people today and that anyone will tell you if it were not for two certain people, there might have been a new Heritage Champion. Dustin Starr then mentions that K-Toomer is not here due to suffering a concussion last week and cannot be cleared. Brett says K-Toomer got screwed last week, but he promises that K-Toomer will get another shot at the Heritage title. He then says The Circuz (Barnabus the Leader and Maurice the Strong) has a problem, and while K-Toomer is not here, he will take them both out right here, right now. "Big Trouble" Ben Bishop then shows up with the Cobra Cup trophy and tells Brett that his head is in the wrong place, and wants to know if Brett is worried about a clown, a trapeze or a bearded lady when he should be worried about him.

Dustin Starr interviews "The Franchise" Shane Douglas at the announce desk after Douglas high-fives the fans. Douglas tells everyone to take what is going on in, as this is Memphis Wrestling, then calls Memphis "the southern version of Philadelphia" that was full of hard-working people, then asks the fans if they are the home of sports entertainment or professional wrestling. The fans make it clear they are the home of professional wrestling, and after Shane Douglas says this place is where future stars will come from, he then brings up Tim Bosby, who he says has a future as a wrestler and not a sports entertainer. Douglas calls out Bosby, and Bosby shows up. Douglas then admits that the Internet Championship does not like a belt worthy of carrying for Bosby and throws it in the trash, then goes to the back and comes back with a new black Internet Championship belt. He says this belt is worthy of "the new franchise," and declares Tim Bosby "the new franchise" before handing the new championship belt to him. Suddenly, "The Best of the Best" Austin Lane. Austin Lane introduces himself to Shane Douglas and says he has all the respect in the world for him, but if there is going to be a new franchise in Memphis, it will be him, not Bosby, as he has been up and down the road and has done a lot in Memphis Wrestling, and because he can create stars. He says that he was not 100% in his last match with Tim Bosby, and says that next week, he will face Tim Bosby again with the Internet Championship on the line to see who is the new franchise of Memphis Wrestling. Douglas says this sounds like a great idea. Austin Lane offers to shake Bosby's hand and says "May the best man win," but Bosby pulls his hand away and says "I will."

We hear from Barnabus the Leader, who says that according to P.T. Barnum, there is a sucker born every minute, and that there is no bigger sucker than K-Toomer after Maurice the Strong destroyed and eliminated him from Memphis Wrestling forever. Barnabus says the fun in his big top is only just beginning.

Dustin Starr interviews "The Problem Child" Aaron Roberts and Justin Case at the announce desk. Justin Case says Aaron Roberts is not in a very good mood today, and that the guy in the ring made a bad decision to debut today, as Roberts is about to send an example to the locker room about why nobody should mess with him.

"The Problem Child" Aaron Roberts quickly beats the debuting Galon Ray. After the match, Dustin Starr interviews Aaron Roberts again. Roberts says this is quick work for him, and that while man after man has been put in front of him, he has come out on top, and that he does not care about any "Sho' 'nuffs."

Backstage, "The GunShow" Brett Michaels is met by Ben Bishop, who tells Brett that he had to show him what he is all about after sitting in the sideline for the last year.

Mikey says the family feud is over and that he has had enough with the shenanigans, and that he thought it would be over after he and Cousin Luke beat "Main Event" Brad Skimahorn and Uncle Phil. He says Uncle Phil does not have what it takes, as Memphis was made for Mikey. Dustin Starr then interviews "Main Event Bradley" and Uncle Phil. Brad says it is not over until he says it is over, and that if it were not for Uncle Mikey sticking his nose in their business and bringing in Cousin Luke, they would have won. He then says that he and Uncle Phil are going to put an end to Uncle Mikey, as he is sick of all this. Uncle Phil says this will not end until he teaches Uncle Mikey a few lessons, family style.

As he talks about how he has wanted to tour from city to city and meet the millions of fans of the WWE, Austin Theory shows up.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for March 18, 2020

The show starts with "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes standing alone in the middle of a wrestling ring in an empty arena, with the arena dark save for a spotlight on the wrestling ring itself. Cody says he has never thought of his world as small before, but recent events can put into perspective we all are, and that it has clarified how big and important the service AEW provides is. Cody says that the irony in what he is about to ask is not lost on him, for he is about to ask three of the best athletes in the world to discard their petty differences and stand together, as we must stand together as human beings. For many, that means standing at a distance. Cody says that everyone must be informed and held responsible by health and science, but there is a profound difference in that and living in a prison of fear, which he does not consider living at all. He says that he is alive right now, and that he hopes the audience is alive as well. He tells Matt Jackson he knows that he is listening, and also says that Tony Kahn is second-most responsible for AEW existing. He says that Matt Jackson is a tag team expert and master, but that only means that Matt has to work harder, and that his anger with "Hangman" Adam Page is misplaced. Cody says that he does not need his hanger; instead, he needs his wisdom and he needs him to carry Nick Jackson's heart into tonight's match so The Elite can win Blood & Guts. He also says that he gets tired of putting over Adam Page and saying that he is the best wrestler in all of The Elite with a combination of light heavyweight skill and accuracy melded with heavyweight stopping power in the Buckshot Lariat. He felt that he would be the first AEW World Champion, but he lost to Chris Jericho. He tells Page to get over it and become the difference maker and the reason for why The Elite will win Blood & Guts instead of "the other guy in The Elite." Cody then addresses his friendship with Kenny Omega, and while they do not always like each other and argue over who is "1A" and "1B" until they are blue in the face and somebody passes them by, but this is Blood & Guts and he needs "the real Kenny Omega" who stood in front of others and proclaimed himself best in the world. Cody says he needs The Elite to be elite, then Matt Jackson and Kenny Omega show up. Omega says that they would usually speak in front of an arena of people, but they are friends talking to friends. Omega admits they have not always seen eye to eye, but the world is falling apart around them and everything they built could fall apart by next week, and he says that there might not even be an episode of Dynamite next week. He says that if it were up to him, he would go out the same way they came in: as The Elite. Matt says he loves the call to action for The Elite, and says that Omega is not wrong, but it is just the three of them and they know what The Inner Circle did to Nick, who could not even get on the airplane and is out indefinitely. Matt asks where Page is, but Cody and Omega do not know. Suddenly, Page shows up, and Matt says that while things have been a little strange between them the past few weeks, and while they cannot fix this either tonight or in a couple of weeks, he asks Page as a man if he will stand with The Elite. Page raises his cup of beer, drinks from it, and leaves. Omega says he knows people are watching on television, and says that while it is hard to feel their energy, they are out there, and AEW means the best for everyone. He says that all they can do is give the best they can do, and everybody needs some positivity and entertainment and they must give the best possible show they and everyone in AEW can give. He asks for the lights and the pyro, and declares that Dynamite begin.

We see a video package for The Death Triangle (PAC, Pentagon Jr., Rey Fenix).

Tony Schiavone interviews MJF, who says he is outside of the ring because he does not have to wrestle. He says that while the winner's purse is big, he is sitting back and resting his undefeated body while letting the undercard talent get their TV time while he gets real money with Shawn Spears. Tony asks Spears and MJF if they are gambling, and MJF yells at him for accusing them of gambling before asking if he wants in on the action.

Brandi Rhodes is the ring announcer for tonight's show, and the top of her chyron reads "Said she would never ring announce again." (This is because ring announcer Justin Roberts could not make it.) Orange Cassidy guests on commentary for the net match.

The Lucha Bros. (Pentagon Jr. and Rey Fenix) beat Best Friends (Chuck Taylor and Trent) after Pentagon Jr. kicks Trent in the groin behind the referee's back. After the match, Tony Schiavone interviews Best Friends, and Chuck Taylor calls The Death Triangle (PAC, Pentagon Jr., Rey Fenix) "a bunch of chumps," and says that if they want to kick Trent in the groin, then they will challenge them to a Street Fight in an actual street or parking lot on the next Dynamite.

Hikaru Shida beats Penelope Ford, Kris Statlander and Riho in a four-way match.

Tony Schiavone interviews Colt Cabana, who admits that while tonight's empty arena is pretty weird, tonight's show has been great. After saying that Penelope Ford is great and that she would do better if she were not scheming with "Superbad" Kip Sabian, Sabian - still at ringside - takes exception to what Colt says and wants to fight him. Colt slaps Sabian in the face, and he walks away with Penelope Ford.

We see footage from earlier today of Tony Schiavone interviewing Jon Moxley. Moxley says he goes where he wants when he wants to, and says he has never been medically cleared in his blind spot. Moxley says he will let off some steam by driving around in his new sports car, and says that wherever The Inner Circle goes, he will always be in their blind spot, and when Blood & Guts happens, he will not miss it for the world.

Jurassic Express (Luchasaurus and Jungle Boy) beat The Butcher and The Blade after MJF inadvertently costs The Butcher and The Blade the match by calling for them to hit Full Death from the front row.

The Dark Order (Evil Uno and Stu Grayson) show up. Evil Uno says that he hopes the production team is as smart as he thinks they are and focuses on his eye so that he can speak to his people. He then states that The Exalted One is near, and when he arrives, he will breathe new life into The Dark Order. Evil Uno says that Stu Grayson, John Silver and Alex Reynolds have done his bidding in preparation for tonight, and tonight, their eyes will see what he sees, for he has promised them and the the arrival of The Exalted One, for he never lies or breaks his promises because he cares about his fellow man, and together, The Dark Order is one and The Exalted One is near. Suddenly, "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian show up from the front row, and Daniels tells The Dark Order to stop as Evil Uno has told lies for three straight months and wasted everyone's time, and they are sick of it. He says that The Exalted One is the biggest lie of all, and that it is just Evil Uno and Stu Grayson. Suddenly, a video plays on the video screen, and The Exalted One finally shows up, saying we will soon know who he is. He states that The Dark Order does what it wants when it wants, and if he wants something, he will take it. He says that if The Dark Order knocks on the door, you open it, and if you do not, he will personally kick the door open and lead The Dark Order through it. He then unmasks to reveal himself as Brodie Lee, formerly known as Luke Harper in WWE, and tells Daniels that he is very unsafe and that he will not go unpunished, saying he is not the first "out of touch old man" not to believe in him and that he will ensure he is the last. Brodie Lee then confirms that he is The Exalted One. When the video is over, Brodie Lee is in the ring with Uno and Grayson, and The Dark Order attack Daniels and Kazarian.

(This video is unlisted because you can Brodie Lee walking through the stage entrance at around 2:39; the video below carefully and wisely edits this out.)

Tony Schiavone interviews Lance Archer and Jake "The Snake" Roberts. Roberts says that Archer is not here to talk, and that they laid the gauntlet at "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes' feet for nothing, and that neither of them play games. He says it is one thing for Cody to keep away from them, but to ignore them is like spitting in his face, and they will not have it. He tells Cody it is time to stand up and meet the man, and says that while this did not start out as something personal, it now has, and they will get his attention now that he has not met them head-on. We then see a vignette for Lance Archer and Jake "The Snake" Roberts where Archer gets in a backyard wrestling ring the middle of a rural area and takes on all comers while Roberts watches. During the video package, a photo of Cody with the word "Caesar" in red letters is shown, and a man is choke slammed onto a car after Archer leaves the ring.

On the next Dynamite: Wardlow vs. Luchasaurus in a lumberjack match! The Lucha Bros. (Pentagon Jr. and Rey Fenix) vs. Best Friends (Chuck Taylor and Trent) in a parking lot fight! The Inner Circle vs. The Elite in Blood & Guts!

Chris Jericho guests on commentary for the next match.

The Inner Circle (Santana, Ortiz, Jake Hager) beat The Elite ("The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes, Matt Jackson, "Hangman" Adam Page) to get the advantage at Blood & Guts after Hager stops an Indytaker attempt by Page and Jackson. After the match, Hericho says he knew The Inner Circle would win and that he is banning fans from all future AEW events until he says so as The Inner Circle does not need "pumpkin-headed disphits"chanting for members of The Elite. He also reveals that The Inner Circle attacked Nick Jackson last week and says that The Elite does not stand a chance. He also says that there has never been a problem between the members of The Inner Circle and that they have done nothing but win in AEW, and that Blood & Guts will be no different. All of a sudden, a drone shows up, interrupting Jericho. Matt Jackson then tells Jericho that The Elite has a fifth man and that he made a phone call to a friend who owed him a favor. Piano music then plays, and "Broken" Matt Hardy is seen in the bleachers to end the show.

Here are the top five moments from tonight's show!

Raw Deal - Raw recap for March 18, 2019

Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar show up to start tonight's show. Heyman mentions that Seth Rollins necessitated their being here, and calls a Rollins a "revisionist" and a "Burn It Down arsonist," and that Lesnar has a problem with competitors of Rollins' size. He then says Rollins has proved himself a fool, as Lesnar beat them all regardless and Drew McIntyre got up on Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose like he will do to Seth Rollins tonight. As he asks Drew McIntyre - who he calls "a career killer" - what he is thinking, McIntyre shows up and says he is earning the respect he has been looking for in WWE. McIntyre mentions how he brutalized Reigns and Ambrose last week, and tells Heyman to find Lesnar a new opponent because Seth Rollins will not make it to WrestleMania after tonight. Suddenly, McIntyre is attacked from behind with a steel chair. McIntyre's assailant happens to be Seth Rollins, and referees tell Seth to head to the back. Rollins responds with multiple steel chair shots to McIntyre's back. Rollins gets in the ring with the steel chair, and Heyman and Lesnar retreat.

Before the next match, Finn Balor wishes the fans a belated St. Patrick's day, and admits that the luck of the Irish was not on his side last week. However, he does not plan on being a former champion for long. Suddenly, Lio Rush and Bobby Lashley show up. Lio Rush says "the little leprachaun is upset because [Lashley] has [Finn's] pot of gold around his waist." He then asks Lashley to hit his new favorite pose and show the fans what they haven't seen in a long time: a championship. Finn tells Lashley to enjoy the Intercontinental Championship while he can, as he will take it back real soon. He then says his mystery partner will get his hands on both him and Lashley, and that mystery partner is Braun Strowman.

Finn Balor and Braun Strowman beat Lio Rush and Bobby Lashley after Lashley wants no part of the match following the beating Strowman gives to Lio Rush.

It is announced that "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey has been fined an undisclosed amount of money for her actions last week.

"Rowdy" Ronda Rousey and her husband Travis Browne are confronted by referee John Cone and security. Cone says that security has been increased to prevent another incident like the one from last week.

It's time for A Moment Of Bliss. Tonight's special guest is Elias. After Michael Cole runs down the card so far for WrestleMania 35, Alexa says he is the only person worthy of hosting the show. She says she feels like a really good talk show host after inspiring people such as Lilly Singh to host her own, then introduces Elias. Elias shows up, and Alexa says that this is a safe place and that nobody will interrupt his big announcement. Elias announces that he will be the headlining musical act at WrestleMania, in "the greatest city of them all" New York City. Elias says that what happened last year is the motivation for this year, and he not lives in the moment in pressure, he thrives in it. He says that if his performance was a game-winning field goal, he would make it every single time, as his performance will the best by virtually anyone. Before he can say what will happen to anyone who dares to interrupt him, No Way Jose's conga line - led by Otis and Tucker of Heavy Machinery - starts dancing around the stage. Alexa apologizes to Elias, saying the conga line should have shown up at the end of the show, but Elias threatens to teach Otis a lesson. Before that can happen, a conga line member attacks Elias from behind, and it happens to be No Way Jose in a mask. No Way Jose dares Elias to get in the ring with him.

Elias beats No Way Jose.

Kurt Angle shows up. Angle says his farewell tour continues with a match in Chicago, Illinois, and with WrestleMania and his final wrestling match only 20 days away, he thanks the McMahon family for letting him pick his farewell match opponent. He says there are so many opponents he wants to face, but one he wants to face ever since he gave him hell after becoming General Manager, and that man is Baron Corbin, who we wants to make tap out so he can retire the happiest man in the world.

Kurt Angle beats Chad Gable with the ankle lock. After the match, Baron Corbin shows up and gloats about taking his General Manager job and humiliating him, but says it will not feel as good as beating and humbling Angle in his very last match. He says that Angle's accomplishments won't matter, as the fans will only remember Angle's last match.

Backstage, Baron Corbin is talking to The Revival (Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder) when Apollo Crews shows up and challenges Corbin to a match. As Corbin tries to dance around the challenge, Apollo asks for a simple yes or no answer and eventually gets a yes. Apollo says nobody likes Corbin because he is difficult, and when Corbin asks The Revival if anyone likes him, they say "Hell no."

In the ring, Charly Caruso interviews Sasha Banks and Bayley. Bayley says they do not duck anybody, and that they will make a special appearance on SmackDown Live, and it will be "IIconic." As Sasha Banks talks about their WrestleMania match, Natalya shows up with Beth Phoenix. Beth says she respects Sasha and Bayley after seeing everything they did to make the tag team titles come to fruition and give the titles respect first-hand, and says she and Natalya would have loved the opportunity when she competed full-time. She admits she was content to watch the Women's Revolution from the commentary table until Nia Jax and Tamina tried to set it all back with their jealousy and pettiness. However, Nia and Tamina also "awoke the dragon." This got her thinking that maybe her and Natalya's dream could still become a reality, and while she loved her WWE career, there has been one thing missing: tag team gold. Beth announces that since Bayley and Sasha want to be fighting champions, she wants to step out of retirement, stand with Natalya and challenge Sasha and Bayley for the women's tag team titles at WrestleMania. Bayley says that this would be an honor, but asks if Beth Phoenix needs more time to prepare as competition has evolved since she left. Natalya says Beth is not afraid to fight someone like Bayley, and Sasha asks Natalya who she is talking to, as they bleed for the business. After Sasha accuses Natalya of riding on Beth's coattails for a WrestleMania match, Natalya slaps Sasha, and this starts a brawl. Beth shoves Bayley, and referees have to separate both sides.

Sasha Banks beats Natalya by disqualification. During the match, Nia Jax shows up and says that she has done more in three years than Beth Phoenix has done in her career and that Beth is jealous of her for all the attention she is getting. Beth and Sasha are then attacked from behind by Tamina.

We hear from Mojo Rawley, who talks to a mirror again as he talks about how much potential he has as well as how he despises the word "potential," as it is no good when he does nothing with it.

Ricochet beats Jinder Mahal.

"Rowdy" Ronda Rousey beats Dana Brooke with an arm bar in mere seconds to retain the WWE Raw Women's Championship. After the match, Ronda refuses to let go of the arm bar until another referee shows up.

It is announced that Dana Brooke is undergoing medical treatment backstage.

Apollo Crews gets a surprise win on Baron Corbin by countering the End of Days into an inside cradle.

Michael Cole interviews Batista live via satellite. Batista says he just does not like Triple H, and ever since he came back, he has wanted one last match with him. He says that his hate for Triple H goes back further than his days in Evolution, as Triple H uses people for protection and to make him look good. Batista says Triple H groomed him to be his muscles only to be looked down upon, held down and underestimated, and that he blames Triple H for leaving at the height of his career nine years ago. He says that Triple H did not think he could be enough of a star in WWE, but since he left, he has movie star status and he is the one in control, and he has the match with Triple H that he wants. Batista goes on to call Triple H the most insecure, jealous control freak he has ever seen, and says that one day, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon will wake up and fire Triple H. As for Triple H's in-ring career, he plans to end it.

Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Braun Strowman. He says that Michael Che and Colin Jost had the audacity to get in his face and disrespecting him and the WWE. After declaring he will be in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal due to the incident from two weeks ago making him so angry, Alexa Bliss shows up wanting to broker peace between Braun Strowman and Colin Jost. Strowman gives Alexa one week, but if they disrespect him, he will teach them what discipline really is.

Charlotte Flair and Girl Up recognize Irena Sendler and Serena Williams for their accomplishments as part of Women's History Month.

Before the next match, Drew McIntyre says actions speak much louder than words before showing the replay of the beating he gave Roman Reigns last week. He says that when Roman made his return, everyone rejoiced, but at Fastlane, he could tell Roman was not the same man; he was weak and vulnerable and reliant on his teammates, and now The Shield is no more after what he did last week. He says that Seth Rollins is a coward for hitting him with the steel chair in response for pulling back the curtain and revealing Roman to be mortal, and says Roman is now sitting at home because of him. McIntyre says that if Roman wants to be a hero so badly, then he challenges him to a fight at WrestleMania. He tells Roman to say no to this fight and to choose his family over his fans, as his fans don't care about him and all bets will be off when he destroys him. He says that Roman may have beaten leukemia, but he will never beat him. Suddenly, Seth Rollins is on the TitanTron, and tells McIntyre that is why he received a beating with a steel chair at the top of the show. He says the steel chair assault is for his brothers, and that the beating he will give him in the ring is for him. McIntyre meets Rollins on the ramp, and both men brawl before their match begins. Referees and officials try to separate both men.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for March 18, 2013

John Cena starts off this week's episode of Raw live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He tells The Rock's fans "Your time is up, our time is now." Darren Young shows up, and so does Titus O'Neil. O'Neil is going by the name "Rufus 'Pancake' Patterson" and is wearing a fake afro and a dark gray full body suit. After a bit of funny business and jokes between the three men, Darren Young challenges John Cena to prove that he and Titus are ready for WrestleMania. John Cena accepts, and tells him to get in the ring right now to see what it's like to be WrestleMania ready.

John Cena beats Darren Young in an impromptu match.

Ryback beats David Otunga. He tells the crowd he's ready for The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns) and WrestleMania.

Teddy Long and Vickie Guerrero stop Mark Henry, and Vickie takes Ryback out of the six-man tag match against The Shield. Instead, Ryback gets to take on Mark Henry at WrestleMania.

He drops it, but it doesn't drop or lose any of its contents. (The "shit" in "Oh, shit!" is also adeptly censored out.) 'Taker is incensed.

Wade Barrett steals the victory retains the WWE Intercontinental Championship against The Miz and Chris Jericho in a Triple Threat Match.

Triple H enters the ring. Paul Heyman enters soon after with an entourage of three security guards as he is "afraid of Triple H," who is "frustrated." Triple H wants to sign the contract, but Paul Heyman teases him by showing the footage of Trips destroying Brock Lesnar three weeks, teasing him with unusual fake stipulations...and saying in the last one that "the loser should get Stephanie [McMahon]." This angers Triple H, who floors Heyman and destroys his security entourage. Triple H then places Heyman on the table and slaps the crap out of him before signing the contract. Brock Lesnar finally shows up with a steel chair, but he and Heyman both back away from the ring with a malicious glee, and Heyman finally mentions the stipulation: it's a No-Holds-Barred Match, and if Triple H loses, his career is over!
