Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for January 24, 2024

Samoa Joe heads to the ring. Joe says tonight is a night of celebration due to a new championship endeavor, as opportunities must be earned, not given. He says AEW wrestlers will battle tooth and nail for a shot at his gold. He says that the opportunity at a championship will also be the opportunity for the worst night of one's night when he does to them what he did to Hook last week: beat them down unmerciful, choke them out unconscious and take everything from them. Hook shows up and tells Joe that he lost and Joe won, then both men shake hands. Hook says he does not know when or where, but he will see him again. Joe agrees, then tells him to get to the back of line and sics security on him to get him out of the ring. The three security guards who show up get laid out, and the third one gets choked out with Redrum. Two members of AEW security get in the ring to get Hook to stop. Hook stops and heads to the back.

Renee Paquette hosts a face-to-face meeting between "The Virtuousa" Deonna Purrazzo and "Timeless" Toni Storm on the stage. Toni's half of the stage is in black-and-white and at reduced framer per second during the meeting. Toni mentions Deonna Purrazzo's recent body shaming, which she says is ridiculous as there is more to shame about her. She says they have history, but that does not mean she can use their past friendship to get a title shot. She says that she has had a lot of friends, all less talented than her, and while Deonna may be the best technical wrestling in the world today, she will twist her lips so hard she will need an epidural if she steps in the ring with her. Deonna says she is here to win gold, make friends, and that she will do it arm by arm. She says that the "delusional sham" she is looking at is not the Toni Storm she wants to face; she wants to face and beat the one who slept on dojo floors for the women's world title. She tells her to reach down and find that Toni, then tells her to look down at her ankle, as it looks a lot like hers. It is revealed that they both have identical tattooes on their ankles, then Deonna says Toni does not have her fooled. Toni tells Deonna to take her tattoo and "blow it right out of [her] bumhole." Both women throw shoes at each other, and Luther gets hit with a big boot after Deonna briefly locks in Venus de Milo on Toni. Toni and Mariah May flee.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "Hangman" Adam Page. Hangman says there has not been another soul who has cared for the AEW World Championship as much as him, and that he not only wants to win, but he wants to make it his own.

Matt says they wanted to change the world with All Elite World and spit in the face of tradition, and for a while, they did that. He admits they lost their way and the culture shifted, and perception of the company became different because they leaned on yesterday's superstars. Matt says that Sting is the exception and is a great employee, but also states that Sting represents the last of a dying breed and that everyone will have to say goodbye to Sting and everyone like him.

Toni Storm gets on Luther's shoulders and calls Deonna "an artifically tanned hag" and says her past is none of her concern before throwing her shoe at her.

In backstage footage from earlier today, Renee Paquette interviews MJF. MJF says that he cannot get enough of the British fans chanting his name and he wants the fans to grab a beer, get pissed and cheer for him like the fans have never cheered before and maybe everyone just might get a free pint (at Tony Khan's expense). MJF admits that he is under a lot of pressure before his World Championship match with Adam Cole, and this would not be possible without everyone who has ever paved the way for professional wrestling prior. He says that he is standing on the shoulder of giants and that if he wins, he may just become a giant himself. On the subject of his friendship with Adam Cole, he says that this is new to him and that he has never been a genuine friend before. He says that Adam has made him a better person in a short period of time and has taught him to trust and let his guard down. He says that Adam is not just a friend, but a brother, and while brothers have fights and disagreement, they hug it out at the end of the day. He also says that while he is not a perfect person, he wants people to be vulnerable with him, as they will be rewarded, saying this is one promise he can keep, as he is not just a scumbag, but "your scumbag."

Tony Schiavone oversees a contract signing for Chris Jericho vs. Will Ospreay at All In. Ospreay shows up with Don Callis, then Jericho arrives with Sammy Guevara. Don Callis says he did what he did last week because of Will Ospreay, and that the only thing better than having Jericho in the family was ending Jericho's career while making a deal with Ospreay that no one else could: Jericho's head on a platter. Callis says he threw 34 years of friendship away over money and says that he would rather make history than watch it, then mentions Jericho nearly dying in England before stating that he will be in Ospreay's corner when Ospreay finishes the job. Ospreay asks Jericho if he is taking this match seriously or if the match is just a vanity project for him, as this match will change his life, and he says that when he beats Jericho, it will be one of his biggest victories in two months. He then mentions that his contract in New Japan comes up in six months and that he is the best wrestler in the world, even better than "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson, The Elite (Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson), CM Punk and even Jericho, and even though he respects Jericho, he is rocket fuel for him and his future. Ospreay signs the contract, then Jericho congratulates Ospreay on his accomplishments before telling him that they would not be possible if it were not for him, as people predicted that Ospreay would be in a wheelchair before 30 from being so reckless and he told him to told it down. He also tells Ospreay that he did not have to attack him from behind to get this match, as their match was supposed to happen in 2020 before the lockdown, then says that All In is the biggest venue of his career and he has to be the best he has ever been to beat Ospreay. He also tells Ospreay that he has to be the Will Ospreay he can be and tells him to prove it to his family and his 80,000 countrymen that he can do it, and tells him not to make him regret keeping him out of a wheelchair as he signs. This leads to a brawl that security quickly moves into position to stop.

In backstage footage from earlier today, Renee Paquette interviews Adam Cole. Cole thought he and MJF would never get along or become best friends, and while they have had fun together, he credits MJF with helping him find himself again when his confidence was at an all-time low. He states that he got into professional wrestling with the intent to be the best, and that the AEW World Championship solidifies one as the best on the planet and that he needs to win the title. On the subject of his friendship with Adam Cole, Cole walks out on the interview when he mentions that people seem to have trouble comprehending that two men can be friends, then says that there are no issues with him and MJF.

Christian personally introduces him to Nick Wayne before bringing up his dead father and saying he must have not been very good if he has not heard of him, then tells Nick Wayne he has nothing to look forward to before telling him to stay out of All In if he does not want to see the coffin lid shut on someone for the second time in his life. He then says that he can maybe mentor Nick Wayne when this is all over, then says that every fatherless child needs a mentor and that there is no better mentor than him.

In backstage footage from earlier today, Renee Paquette interviews FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson). Dax Harwood says that they want to know who is better between their two teams and that he does not want to have any excuses. Nick Jackson says that FTR has to beat them to cement their legacy and that he feels strongly about this. Cash says their match is best for business while Dax Harwood says that this match is beyond the tag team championship and that this is about their legacy, but Matt Jackson says that the people are going to view The Young Bucks as the best and FTR as "the guys they named on their YouTube show."Dax tells Matt Jackson there is no way that The Young Bucks is on their level and that they are the foundation now, not The Bucks, and that their foundation will crack The Bucks' foundation at All In.

He says that The House of Black pissed all over his legacy and that he will face them one more time at All In, and this time, he will take everything from them, as "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn cannot make the trip to UK, but "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn will.
