AEW Dynamite will air live tonight from Daily’s Place in
Jacksonville, Florida on TNT.
As Cody Rhodes is being introduced, Eddie Kingston walks out and
cuts a promo on Cody Rhodes. Eddie calls Arn Anderson a “used to be
legend” and says that’s what Cody grew up around, while Eddie grew
up around junkies and Cody would never survive a day in his life.
Eddie says every person that Cody has faced has been a child and HE
is a grown ass man that will put Cody in the ground and smile about
it. Eddie says Tony Khan paid him to show up and now he’s paying him
to kick Cody’s ass!
Eddie says that Tony Khan told him he could face Cody but Coyd had
to accept. He says that Cody is either an egg sucking dog or a egg
sucking bitch if he doesn’t accept. Cody accepts and makes it a No
DQ Match!
TNT Championship
“American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes (c) w/Arn Anderson vs. Eddie
Kingston
Kingston attacks Cody just as he accepts the match and beats him all
around ringside. The match spills back into the ring and Eddie
starts lighting him up with some nasty chops. Cody fights back and
avoids a Spinning Back Fist before connecting with a Disaster Kick.
Kingston rolls out to the floor but Cody follows him with a Tope
Suicida.
Cody rolls Kingston back into the ring and then connects with a
Missile Dropkick off the top. Cody pulls off his weight belt and
hits Kingston with it but Kingston takes it away and starts beating
the hell out of Cody with it as they spill to the floor. Kingston
pulls back the protective mat at ringside and attempts to Piledrive
Cody on it but Cody backdrops him.
Kingston tosses Cody into the ring and hits a Backdrop Driver and
then connects with a bunch of stiff strikes in the corner. Kingston
puts the boots to Cody and screams at him to stay down before
putting him in a Chinlock. Kingston takes Cody down with a series of
clubbing blows to the back and is selling his own knee pretty hard
after he seemed to twist it earlier.
Kingston whips Cody into the ropes and connects with a Lariat and
then locks in the Stretch Plum before just blatantly kicking him in
the head. Kingston locks in a Dragon Sleeper but Cody manages to
fight out only for Kingston to poke him in the eyes. Kingston goes
for a Back Suplex but Cody lands on his feet and chops Kingston’s
injured knee.
Cody tries to whip Kingston into the corner but Kingston’s leg gives
out. As Cody goes to pick him up, Kingston low blows Cody and then
points at his head before connecting with a DDT. Kingston goes to
the floor and pulls out a bag of tacks from under the ring and
spreads them out in the ring. Kingston hits a series of headbutts
and dares Cody to fight back.
Kingston attempts to slam Cody onto the tacks but Cody escapes and
kicks Kingston in the knee. Cody then goes for the Cop Killa but
Kingston blocks it and Powerbombs Cody into the tacks! The look on
Arn’s face after that was worth the price of admission alone.
Kingston follows up with a Backdrop Driver but Cody shows off some
fighting spirit as he shoots up and hits a Lariat. Both men are down
now.
Cody gets to his feet and tries to lock in the Figure Four but
Kingston starts slapping him. Cody gets pissed off and absolutely
smacks the ever loving shit out of Kingston before locking in the
Figure Four! Kingston fights it but ultimately taps!
Winner & STILL TNT Champ: Cody via submission (Figure Four)

Earlier today Jon Moxley says in a world where so many people are
full of it he believes in being real. He says when he says he is
going to do something he does it. He says he was going to rip the
tendon out of Cage’s arm when Taz saved him. He says he’s
disappointed he didn’t get to hear the sound of Cage’s arm popping
like a water balloon but says next time he won’t let go.
MJF comes out for his match next and taunts his opponent. He says he
is a prodigy but also has a heart of gold but then gives his
opponent – who he calls “Jungle Man” – which he corrects him as its
Griff Garrison. MJF mocks Garrison for calling himself the “Ivy
League MVP” and says he doesn’t look like he could even graduate
finger painting. MJF talks about being undefeated but Garrison
reminds him that he lost a tag team match at Fyter Fest. MJF hits
him with the microphone.
“The Salt of the Earth” MJF (7-0) w/Wardlow vs. Griff Garrison (0-0)
MJF beats Garrison around the ring
—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-
MJF cuts a promo mid-match and says he thinks he and Griff got off
on the wrong foot because he said something that upset him. MJF says
he has never been pinned or submitted, so that would mean he is
still undefeated. He demands Griff tell everyone he is undefeated
but he slaps the microphone away. MJF stands on Griff’s hand and
then stomps it and screams at him to tell everyone he is undefeated.
MJF hits the Heat Seeker for the pin.
Winner: MJF via pinfall (Heat Seeker)
Earlier tonight Tony Schiavone spoke to Rebel for an update on Britt
Baker after her nasal surgery last week. Baker screams at “Reba” to
come help her, so Tony approaches her. Baker reminds us of the nose
injury she suffered against Shida earlier this year and says that
Big Swole targeted her nose again a few weeks ago. Baker said even
with the injury she is set for the biggest comeback ever.
Baker says she is like Michael Jordan and will have a comeback even
greater than his comeback the Wizards. Tony reminds her that the
Wizards never made the playoffs, which pisses Baker off. Reba says
Michael was great in Space Jam and he always beats the Monstars,
though.
Footage of AEW Dark last night is shown where Ricky Starks joined up
with Brian Cage. Taz and Cage come to the ring and Taz says that he
and Cage had a lot of heated discussions over the last week. Taz
says Cage almost fired him but cooler heads prevailed when he
explained to him why he threw the towel in. Taz says it was a
business decision because he realized the longer Moxley had Cage in
that Armbar the likelier his surgically repaired arm would be
injured again.
Taz says he stands by what he did because he can assure everyone
that Cage will never be in that position again, ever. Taz says he
would never tap because he isn’t wired to tap, which is why he is
the FTW Champion. He says Cage has a FTW mindset, “no surrender, no
quit.”
Darby Allin interrupts Taz but Ricky Starks attacks him from behind.
Cage Powerbombs Allin on the ramp and then Powerbombs him into the
ring where Starks hits him with a Dominator. Jon Moxley runs out
with a baseball bat and chases Moxley and Starks off.
An eight-team Deadly Draw Women’s Tag Team Cup Tournament is
announced for the remainder of the summer.

Earlier today, Alex Marvez interviewed The Inner Circle. Jericho is
still wearing his jacket covered in orange juice and he says that
jacket cost him $7,000 and it’s ruined because of Orange Cassidy.
Jericho says he is going to ruin OC’s career now. He says that the
Jurassic Express thought it was so funny what happened last week, so
they’re going to embarrass them this week. Jericho says Luchasaurus
isn’t really a dinosaur but they’re going to make him extinct
tonight anyway.

that when they decide, everybody dies.

Page dares The Dark Order to get in the ring with him, which brings
out Brodie Lee and Colt Cabana. Brodie says he has been nothing but
impressed with Page but what he isn’t impressed with is his lack of
friends and lack of a tag team partner when he is clearly in
immediate danger. Brodie says he isn’t here to beat Page up but he
is here to offer protection for him. Brodie says that Dark Order
would never leave Page alone and that is what they offer him.

says he isn’t ready to join a cult right now. Lee says that he just
made his bed and he hopes that he enjoys his sleep in it. Lee and
