Dynamite: The best bout machine returns

Greetings and salutations! We are a week since Toly Khan was attacked by The Elite and on this week’s show we should be getting an update from Tony Khan himself as he has promised to announce who will be the top official while he is away. We also have Adam Copeland defending his TNT Title against a member of House of Black. We will also hear from the AEW Champion, Swerve Strickland. With all of this and more, let’s get straight to the action.


AEW Dynamite kicks off with All Elite Wrestling President Tony Khan live from Jacksonville and talks about running the show remotely. The Young Bucks disrupt the feed and say that they can’t be fired for last weeks attack because they have iron-clad contracts. They say they are in charge of the show now and run an Elite-centric opening…


The Champion Speaks…


AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland and Prince Nana are out and Swerve says he had three matches last week, and that’s the kind of champion he promised he was going to be, and that’s what all of the fans and the company deserves. He then says what AEW doesn’t need are selfish, power-hungry EVPs who think they can throw their weight around and call The Elite bitches for what they did to Tony Khan.

Swerve says he doesn’t know who his opponent is at Double or Nothing, but wants them to come out. The Young Bucks re-appear on the Khan-O-Tron and tell Serve that being champ has gotten to his head and they will introduce his opponent at Double or Nothing.

Christian Cage comes out with Killswitch, Nick Wayne, and Mama Wayne. Cage takes a mic but attacks Swerve. Swerve tries to fight back, but he is outnumbered and Cage hits him with a Kill Switch onto his own title. Nick Wayne hits Wayne’s World on Prince Nana. Cage says that he hasn’t forgotten about Swerve breaking into Nick Wayne’s gym and leaving him in a pool of his own blood and he hasn’t forgotten that he was left embarrassed at All In after Swerve lost them the match. Cage says that he will make Swerve the shortest AEW Champion. Cage says Swerve’s daughter will never want to know him, but he can be a father she’ll be proud of. Cage says the pain for Swerve has just begun. Killswitch grabbed one of Swerve’s braids and ripped it out of his head. Cage posed with the AEW Championship.
