Winter Is Coming - Dynamite recap for December 14, 2022

Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

Death Triangle (PAC, Penta el Zero Miedo, Rey Fenix) beat The Elite (Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson) by submission in Match 4 of their best-of-seven series to lead the series 3-1 (three matches to one). During the match, Nick Jackson is taken to the back for a sprained ankle, but he returns near the end of the match, where Penta hits Nick Jackson in the ankle with a ring bell hammer and Rey Fenix makes Nick Jackson tap out to an inverted knee bar. After the match, Kenny Omega mentions that since Death Triangle have been using ring bell hammers the entire best-of-seven series, they might as well make not just the hammers legal, but all weapons. He says that The Elite is tired of playing by Death Triangle's rules, so they might as well make it so that there are no rules at all and demands the next match be a no-disqualification match.

Backstage, Alex Marvez interviews MJF, who congratulates "Absolute" Ricky Starks on last week's promo, then says he was already a star and was already hitting home runs while Starks became one last week. He says that he is the one who made Starks a star, not Starks or the fans, because he is "a star maker," then makes fun of Starks' life story and says that all that matters is whether or not one is AEW World Champion. MJF says that the fans only relate to Starks because they all suck, then admits that he was born better than everyone else before stating that he is under no pressure because he is already "The Guy" and everyone hates his guts and wants to see his downfall. He says he does not envy Starks at all, even as everyone wants him to win the AEW World Championship in his home state of Texas, which he says applies pressure to "The Pebble." He then asks if the pressure will turn "The Pebble" into a diamond or dust.

The Acclaimed ("Platinum" Max Caster and Anthony Bowens) and "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn head to the ring. On the way there, however, they are attacked from behind by Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt, Satnam Singh and Jeff Jarrett. Max Caster tries to fight back against Sonjay Dutt, but Jay Lethal attacks him from behind and he is quickly surrounded in the ring. Lethal and Sonjay hold Caster down so that Jarrett can hit him in the head with his guitar. The crowd chants "Fuck you" as Jeff Jarrett asks The Acclaimed if they have their attention now before saying "Let's see you scissor this...slapnut!"

Backstage, Tony Schiavone interviews The Jericho Appreciation Society. Chris Jericho says the giant swing is barbaric and inhumane should be banned, and now he will take his anger out on a jobber in a tune-up match before his rematch with Claudio Castagnoli. He also says that Claudio as Ring of Honor World Champion is as much as a flash in the pan. Jericho also tells Daniel Garcia that he should never have lost the Ring of Honor Pure Championship and that he needs more guidance and experience, then asks him to shadow his elder Sammy Guevara and do as he says. Sammy says that he will beat Jon Moxley this Friday on Rampage. Jake Hager says that he likes his hat.

"Jungle Boy" Jack Perry beats "The Machine" Brian Cage with a roll-up after Brian Cage inadvertently clotheslines Prince Nana off the ring apron after Nana gets on the apron and keeps the referee from seeing Cage submit to the Snare Trap. After the match, Jungle Boy says that he wants "the biggest bitch of them all" after beating Luchasaurus and Brian Cage, and calls out Big Bill. Stokely Hathaway shows up and says seeing Jungle Boy's face pisses him off. He says that if he keeps it up, he will see the bottom of Big Bill's boot and the back of his hand, as Jungle Boy is "a little ho." As Jungle Boy confronts Stokely Hathaway, Lee Moriarty shows up and brawls with Jungle Boy so that Big Bill can hit a cheap shot. Jungle Boy soon gets tossed into the ring steps, and Lee Moriarty and Big Bill lay out Jungle Boy in the corner before Big Bill hits the choke slam. Suddenly, Hook shows up, and Hathaway, Moriarty and Big Bill retreat. Hook then extends his hand to Jungle Boy and helps him up.

We hear from The Blackpool Combat Club (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta). Jon Moxley says they would make a statement at Final Battle, and that they did. He then says it is a small statement of what they can and will do. Moxley and Claudio put the locker room on notice for 2023, and Yuta says that to get what one wants, one must fight until they are dead. Moxley then says Sammy Guevara is gutsy enough to show up on Rampage when he will stomp his face in a bloody mess and leave him dead. Moxley also tells "Hangman" Adam Page that he knows where to find him, and that he can bring The Dark Order if he wants.

We see a video package of the aftermath of the break-up of Swerve In Our Glory (Keith Lee and Swerve Strickland). Swerve tells Keith Lee he gave him everything he had, but Keith Lee threw it back in his face, and next week, they will have a face-to-face meeting. Swerve says he has no friends or family, only affiliates.

Before the next match, Nick Comoroto throws his toothpick at Julia Hart, and Hart responds by spitting black mist into his eyes.

The House of Black (Malakai Black, Brody King, Buddy Matthews) beat The Factory (Aaron Solo, Nick Comoroto, QT Marshall) in a trios match following a brawl all over ringside.

We see a video package for Hikaru Shida vs. Jamie Hayter for the AEW Women's World Championship next week.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. and Rebel. Britt Baker says Hikaru Shida will not beat Jamie Hayter and that Hikaru Shida is only famous for breaking her nose. Suddenly, Skye Blue shows up and says that Britt Baker may be good at talking, but she wants to see if she can wrestle as good as she can talk before challenging her to a match on Rampage.

In one of the most stunning upsets in AEW History, Action Andretti beats Chris Jericho in a competitive match, giving him his first win in his Dynamite debut after losing three matches on Dark Elevation and one on Dark earlier in the year. (After the match, it is announced by Tony Khan via Twitter that Action Andretti is officially part of the All Elite Wrestling roster.)

We hear from "Absolute" Ricky Starks, who says that he woke up knowing he is the man and that he has his shot against MJF tonight in his own home state. He says he feels as prepared as he was when he first stepped foot in AEW, and when he broke his neck, he wanted to make sure he stayed in AEW and became World Champion. He says eleven years of paying dues comes to a head tonight. Starks tells MJF that last week was nothing new to him and that he can be a star in his sleep, and that MJF has to find validation in himself while the fans care about him stomping MJF tonight. He says that MJF has no idea what it is like to have people support, and at the end of the day, he is a reflection of what MJF wishes he could, and that he will prove why he is "the coldest, most stylish MFer" anyone has ever seen.

We hear from FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler). Dax Harwood talks about the aftermath of their match at Final Battle and says that while The Gunns want to take away their shine, that will not happen. Cash Wheeler says The Gunns want to make a name for themselves after the most grueling match FTR has been in and want attention after having "daddy issues," and says The Gunns (Austin and Colten Gunn) have their attention. Dax Harwood says The Gunns have their attention, and if FTR have to go through The Gunns to cement their legacy, they will do it.

Backstage, Chris Jericho is absolutely furious following his loss to Action Andretti.

Ruby Soho beats Tay Melo. After the match, Anna Jay A.S. attacks Ruby Soho from behind, then hits her with a Gory Bomb.

Backstage, Alex Marvez interviews "Hangman" Adam Page. Page says that he was out for a minute back in October, and when he was taken to the hospital, he could not remember his son's name for an hour. He says he was in Hell, and if Jon Moxley wants to wrestle him, he will wrestle him, but he will go back to Hell with him.

Backstage, we hear from Dustin Rhodes and Best Friends (Chuck Taylor, Trent Beretta, Orange Cassidy, Danhausen). Dustin Rhodes says that on Rampage, they will fight The Butcher, The Blade, Trent Seven and Kip Sabian, and they will be damned if they lose in his home state.

MJF retains the Dynamite Diamond Ring and the AEW World Championship against "Absolute" Ricky Starks after using referee Paul Turner as a human shield to hit a low blow and pin Starks with an inside cradle.

Brock Anderson says this may be his first title shot, and that the stipulations and rules may not be the Andersons' forte, but Daniel Garcia has lost.

Swerve Strickland beats Billy Gunn after grabbing the bottom rope at the last moment. Before The Acclaimed ("Platinum" Max Caster and Anthony Bowens) and Billy Gunn have a post-match scissor, "Smart" Mark Sterling and "The Premier Athlete" Tony Nese show up with a document which states that he owns the trademark to "Scissor Me" in professional wrestling, which keeps The Acclaimed from even mentioning scissoring. He then dares The Acclaimed and Billy Gunn to scissor so he can sue them, then entertains the idea of both parties working together before he and Nese scissor.

Backstage, Alex Marvez interviews MJF. Before MJF can say a word, Stokely Hathaway interrupts him.

He then says William Regal is "as villainous as Mary Poppins" and says he does not know if he would have shaken Regal's hand last week. He says that nice guys finish last and that he knows everyone hates his guts. MJF then says nobody has "a goddamn clue" what is like to be him, as he has to wake up every day to be the good guy and has hurt his hand punching his reflection. He says he does not like himself either, but it is what it takes to become World Champion.

Tony Schiavone interviews Jon Moxley in the ring. Moxley says that is good to be back in Toronto, Ontario, Canada after three years, and for much of those three years, he has been AEW World Champion and challengers have come far and wide to knock him off the top of the mountain. He says none of them have walked a mile of his shoes and that being world champion is not easy, as the world champion does not have the luxury of anxiety, fear, doubt or second guesses and must be "ruthless and indiscriminate." Moxley then addresses Adam Page, who shows up. Page tells Moxley to say whatever he has to say to him to his face, then says he said it all last week when he said that he respected him in the ring. He then says that Moxley shattered the illusions he had about him by calling him "a nice kid," then asks Moxley if he is a kid to him. Moxley says this is exactly what he thinks of him as MJF watches from the luxury box. Moxley then says that if Page get the shot against him next week, he will not have what it takes to pull the trigger. Page says he is not the same guy he was last year, and while his old friends have disappeared and have left him with nothing but anger and frustration, he is still here because he is a man. He says he has put family members into the ground and introduces new life just like Moxley has, and that whatever happens to him, he keeps getting back up because he is a man. Page says he knows what he has to do next week, and that he will beat him within an inch of his life to win back the AEW World Championship regardless of whoever in Moxley's family is in the crowd. He gives Moxley his word that he will take his shot and become the AEW World Champion, and unlike MJF, he wanted to make sure he said that face-to-face and man-to-man.

Chris Jericho heads to the ring. Jericho says that this week has been the biggest in AEW history for everyone except for him, because when he had the chance to end the Five Labours of Jericho by beating MJF, he did not, and lost to MJF for the third time and tapped out when he did. He says that this has bothered him all week because he is Chris Jericho and because he has always strived to keep getting better, and put himself in this position because he had to, as it is who he is and what he does. Jericho calls his loss to MJF a mantra in his head that he cannot fulfill, and until this ends, he will keep attacking MJF every chance he gets. He then proposes a way to end this, and asks MJF to come to the ring. He then realizes that MJF will not show up, and Jericho then proposes one final fight at All Out. Jericho states that if he cannot beat MJF, then maybe he does not belong in AEW any more. Jericho says that if MJF wins, he will join the commentary table full-time and will never wrestle in AEW again, and tells MJF that he will have to get rid of him if he wants to beat him this time. MJF shows up and says it is starting to get embarrassing between the two of them and that he wanted nothing to do with this, saying he sees through Jericho and that Jericho saw his rise to the top and needed the rub from him to stay relevant. He then says that he promised to himself that their match last week would be the last match between them ever, and says that while it is incredible to hear he tapped Jericho out, ending Jericho's career would be legendary. MJF accepts Jericho's challenge, but tells Jericho to mull his decision over, as he has mopped the floor with him three times.

He also sees himself as well as his favorite wrestler at fifteen years old in Allin, and says that while Darby is not the biggest or strongest, he has heart. After hinting to the fans that Bryan Danielson (formerlly Daniel Bryan) might appear in AEW, Punk then says that at All Out, it is less about proving the haters wrong and proving himself right. He then says hello to his wife April (former WWE Superstar AJ Lee).

We hear from Dax Harwood, who says that while he cannot say how FTR (Harwood and Cash Wheeler) can return, they want one more match.

Tony Schiavone intervews The Elite. Don Callis says that at All Out, The Elite will take out Christian Cage once and for all. Suddenly, Christian Cage shows up. Christian shows a brief video package that shows Callis trying to get Kenny Omega hired as a wrestler at ten years old before calling Callis "a carny piece of shit," but Omega says that at ten, he was the better athlete. Callis says that his actions make him just like Bill Watts, Eddie Graham, Vince McMahon and Verne Gagne, and that the only difference is Kenny Omega and his talent. Christian says that the only thing worse than Callis manipulating a ten-year-old Kenny Omega is an adult Omega still letting it happen, and Callis says that at All Out, Christian will be proven as second-best. Christian grabs Callis only to be attacked by The Elite, then Frankie Kazarian chases The Elite out of the ring with a metal pipe.

We hear from Jon Moxley, who says that the only guy with the balls to step through "The Forbidden Door" was Satoshi Kojima, which he calls "a real treat for the fans."
