Thanks to wrestleview.com for the results
Bryan Danielson opens Dynamite up coming to the ring for an
interview with Tony Schiavone. Danielson says this is a great week
to be an AEW fan and to be a wrestling fan. He talks about Forbidden
Door and says that AEW and NJPW are the two best professional
wrestling companies in the world. He talks about Blood and Guts and
calls it “nearly the complete opposite” of the pure wrestling we
will see on Sunday. Danielson says he was expecting to be a part of
both of those events and talks about Zack Sabre Jr. challenging him
to a match for Forbidden Door.
Danielson says he was excited about proving who the greatest
technical wrestler was and he was excited about getting the chance
to get some revenge on JAS but he has some good news and bad news.
He says that he has not been cleared to compete in either event but
says that his overall health is fine and he WILL come back. He says
there isn’t a man in this world that can wrestle in that ring like
him and he will be back to prove it. Danielson says that Eddie
Kingston has gone on record calling him a judgmental prick and he’s
right.
Danielson says he has really high standards, so when he promises
that something will be amazing he means it. He says that he found
the one person worthy of taking his place at Forbidden Door and in
Blood and Guts. He says he isn’t telling us who that person is and
he isn’t telling Zack Sabre Jr. either. Zack Sabre Jr. walks out and
talks shit to Danielson as the fans went completely silent.
Jon Moxley talks about having chased Tanahashi for three years and
this Sunday he says respect goes out of the window because he
respects no one in the ring.
Trios Match
Roppongi Vice & Orange Cassidy vs. United Empire (Will Ospreay,
Kyle Fletcher & Mark Davis)
Romero and Fletcher start the match off and speed things up
immediately with some counter wrestling before Trent tags in and
hits a big Lariat on Fletcher. Davis tags in and takes Trent down
but Trent gets back to his feet and hits a series of strikes. Trent
hits a German Suplex and tags OC. OC taunts Davis and puts his hands
his pockets but then immediately rolls off a series of moves before
tagging Romero.
The babyfaces hit stirkes on Davis in the corner and then Ospreay
comes in and hits a big Double Backdrop from Roppongi Vice. The
heels regroup on the outside but the babyfaces go for dives only to
get caught in midair. They sandwich the faces into each other and
then Apron Bomb all of them!
—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-
OC does his lazy kicks to Aussie Open but then pops up with a Double
Rana out of nowhere followed by a Flying Head Scissors using
Fletcher as a base. He then hits the Satellite DDT on Fletcher and
dares Ospreay to tag in. Ospreay obliges but Romero hits him with a
Flying Rana as he comes in! Trent clotheslines Ospreay to the floor
and all three babyfaces hit dives onto United Empire on the floor!
In the ring, Trent hangs Ospreay up on the ropes and Romero hits a
Guillotine Missile Dropkick followed by a Splash off the top from OC
for a nearfall. OC goes for Orange Punch but Ospreay moves and hits
a series of kicks capped off with a Brainbuster attempt that OC
counters into the Stun Dog Millionaire! Davis and Romero tag in and
Romero hits him with a Flying Rana but Davis comes back with some
nasty chops.

corner. They hit a combo Suplex/Powerbomb for a nearfall and then go
for the Arrow but Romero blocks it and hits a Sliced Bread on
Fletcher. OC hits a Flying Cross Body on Davis but Ospreay hits one
of his own. Trent hits a Lariat and then Roppongi Vice hit Double
Knees to Fletcher. Trent goes for Strong Zero but Ospreay kicks him
in the face and Davis hits a Pop-Up Piledriver (that was the only
way I could describe) for a nearfall.
Ospreay goes for the Sasuke Special to OC on the outside but OC
moves and Ospreay lands on his feet. Romero hits a Plancha onto
Ospreay! Trent hits a Tornado DDT and kick combo on Aussie Open. OC
tags in and hits the Orange Punch on Fletcher for the pin!

week and says they are going to India to celebrate. Jay Lethal says

defend it or vacate it.
—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-
Schiavone brings out Christian Cage to answer for turning on Jungle
Boy last week. Christian taunts the crowd for booing him and he
talks about not getting the respect from fans that he deserves. He
says that Jungle Boy cost him a roster bonus and a possible title
shot when he eliminated him in the Casino Battle Royale last year
and that pissed him off. Christian mocks the “internet corner of
social media” and shits on all of us saying our opinions don’t
matter. Christian says it would be like him going to the drive thru
window and telling us how to do our jobs.
Christian says he figured out Jungle Boy was talented, so he just
wanted to hitch his career to a young guy so he can make money off
his back. Christian makes a snide remark about guys on the roster
complaining about their pay and says if they want to make his salary
they should try and have a match that people talk about for more
than a week. Christian says that Jungle Boy doesn’t have the “killer
instinct” and he realized that and says the one time he didn’t come
to the ring with them they lost the titles.
Christian says now he has to get his hands dirty and it pisses him
off. Footage of Christian telling Jungle Boy’s mom that she “raised
a piece of shit” is shown and Christian says he just wanted to give
her a chance to apologize to giving birth to Jungle Boy. Christian
mentions that she may have been a little sweet on him and that he
may have wanted him to become Jungle Boy’s new dad. Christian says
Jungle Boy looked at him like a dad but he never wanted to be his
dad because he already had a dad, who’s dead. Christian says it’s a
good thing he’s dead because he’d be embarrassed by what Jungle Boy
has become.
Luchasaurus walks out and grabs Christian by the throat but
Christian says they can talk it out and says he is like a son to
him. They walk off together.
