It’s gonna be a happening here tonight, folks! Will you be serious?
Enough foolin’ around on this April Fool’s Day though, it’s Wednesday and you know what that means…it’s time for AEW Dynamite!
It seems AEW is also having some fun on April Fool’s Day as we kick things off with pyro cutting off Tony Schiavone as he introduces the contract signing between MJF and Kenny Omega for AEW Dynasty. That’s not the only thing that interrupts Tony, however…as “Judas” begins to play, revealing the return of Chris Jericho!
The crowd sings along with his theme as he makes his way to the ring. When the music finally dies down, the crowd starts chanting “welcome back” and his name and he acknowledges the crowd for it, which gets another big pop. He poses for the crowd some more as they chant “welcome home” (because he’s from Winnipeg, you see). Jericho gets a mic and finally addresses the crowd.
“Winnipeg…AEW…I’m home.”
Jericho’s music hits as the crowd cheers some more. Commentary addresses him returning after nearly a year away. They don’t get to focus on that for long as we cut backstage, where Will Ospreay is seen going after Jon Moxley! Yuta tries to break things up only to be sent into some kegs, before security arrives to put a stop to things here. They pull him away as we head back to ringside, where MJF makes his entrance to get this contract signing underway!
Out next is another Canadian classic in Kenny Omega, as the No. 1 Contender heads to the ring. The two men sit across the table from each other and it seems we get smooth sailing on them signing the contract. Kenny interrupts Max trying to talk, running the champion down for always having something to say.
He says he knows that this is where the best wrestle, before acknowledging his close call with a massive health scare not that long ago…and how the fans stood by his side because they want something better than MJF as champ. Kenny has never wanted to call himself more than a professional wrestler, but if he is the antithesis to what Friedman (who calls himself “the devil”) is, then maybe he can be the god of professional wrestling.
This gets a laugh out of the champ, who remarks about Kenny claiming he’s 100 percent before making fun of Canadians (because what’s the deal with bags of milk, anyway?)…and then saying Kenny is one strong gust of wind away from retirement. But MJF doesn’t want to talk about that, he wants to talk about the thing that Omega doesn’t want to talk about. He asks the fans if they’re curious why Kenny is so enamored with winning the World Title.
He talks about the Triple B being highly sought after, but there’s more to the story than that…revealing that Kenny had a trip to the doctor, who told Omega that (in summary) Kenny’s days in the ring are numbered. When MJF beats Kenny at Dynasty, the fans will have to admit that their “god” is nothing more than a man…who would rather be dead!
This angers Omega who rises out of his seat, looking like he is about to break the “no contact” rule as MJF tries to goad him into it…but out comes “Speedball” Mike Bailey to try and calm Omega down. He grabs the mic from MJF, saying he’s trying to get out of defending the title because he’s afraid. He says that without Kenny Omega there is no AEW…and without AEW there is no MJF.
He says the only place Friedman is a living legend is in his own head, before offering to beat some sense into the champ’s head. Omega reveals he had a chat with MJF’s doctor as well (so much for HIPAA laws, he says)…saying that he may be missing 24 inches of intestine but that’s better than missing his balls. This riles up MJF, who accepts Bailey’s challenge but says he’s not just facing any old MJF, he’s facing an American hero.
MJF’s music hits as the champ makes his exit from the ring. Out comes The Demand, as they face Kenny Omega and two pals in Jack Perry in our opening match. Brody King makes his entrance and we go to a quick ad break.
-Commercial Break-
Back from break, Jack Perry has made his entrance and this trios match gets underway!
AEW National Champion Jack Perry, Brody King and Kenny Omega vs. The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona)
We start off with Omega and Kaun, the latter trapping Kenny in a side headlock. Omega counters with one of his own before hitting the ropes, where Ricochet catches him with a knee to distract him. Bishop lands some shots before making the tag to Toa, and he and Ricochet double-team the Best Bout Machine.
Kenny dodges a strike from Ricochet for a tag to Brody King, who lays some heavy shots on the former National Champion for a cover…only for GOA to break it up. They go after King, sending him to the outside where Omega tries to intervene as well…before Perry lands on the field with a moonsault!
This gives Ricochet an opening as he brings Brody into the ring. Brody counters for a suplex before Toa intervenes, and this quickly becomes a PWG special as the rest of the competitors join for a chain suplex that ends with Omega connecting with the move, sending all of them to the mat. Perry is the first to his feet, but is sent to the outside where he is blindsided by Liona as we go to break.
-AD BREAK (ON HBO MAX)-
Back from break, The Demand have Perry cornered as they continue to beat him down. Toa is now the legal man and he drops Jack for a cover and a two count. A tag is made to Kaun as the beatdown continues, until Perry breaks free for a tag to Kenny Omega! He takes Ricochet to the corner before getting a nearfall on Kaun, but Toa is right there to break it up.
Liona gets the tag now but in comes Brody, and The Demand get stacked into the corner for a big cannonball from King. This allows Kenny to go for the cover, but Liona kicks out at two. Tag made to Ricochet as Toa runs down Perry and Omega, and Ricochet hits a dive on Brody King.
Both men back in the ring as Kaun takes out King with a dropkick, and Ricochet lands a moonsault on Omega for a nearfall. Perry pulls Ricochet out of the ring followed by the GOA, and he goes for a dive over the ropes. They catch him in midair, but get dropped to the floor with a dive by King…and Omega goes for a dive of his own, only to be dropped by Ricochet!
He sends Brody off the apron before landing a dive. Back on his feet is Ricochet, who climbs the turnbuckle for a 450…but takes a knee strike instead! V-Trigger is dodged, but a reverse rana is not as Ricochet gets dropped to the canvas. Outside the ring, Toa and Brody go at it leading to King sending Liona over the timekeeper table. Back in the ring, Ricochet lands a thrust kick and enziguri on Omega, followed by a Vertigo…but Kenny kicks out before three!
Kaun hands the National Championship to Ricochet, but Perry stops him long enough for Omega to set up for a One-Winged Angel. Ricochet reverses into a rana for two, only to be sent to the ropes for a V-Trigger followed by the One-Winged Angel as Omega picks up the win!
Winners via pinfall: AEW National Champion Jack Perry, Brody King and Kenny Omega
The trio celebrate as we cut backstage, where Willow Nightingale talks about an open challenge for her TBS Title at Collision tomorrow night (as someone can be heard with a drill offscreen, dunno what that’s about).
Elsewhere, Renee looks for a word from Cage and Cope as the two arrive with a pair of chairs. Cope says tonight isn’t the night for a chat as they’re looking for some revenge on FTR, and Cage confirms the seriousness of all this as he storms off before we cut to a commercial break.
-Commercial Break-
We follow Cage and Cope to the FTR locker room, where they bump into RPG Vice instead. Romero and Trent say that FTR will be at Collision tomorrow night, but will take a message for the champs. Cage says these guys are in their way…and the message they leave is a chair shot on two members of the Don Callis Family! Cage and Cope leave the locker room as we head back to ringside.
PAC makes his entrance through the crowd as we hear from Renee, who relays a message from PAC as he enters the ring for our next match. Will Ospreay makes his entrance as well…but PAC is a sneaky man, running up behind Ospreay to blindside him on the ramp! Officials and medics come out to check on Ospreay, who calls for some space as he is slowly stirring.
The big focus is on Ospreay’s neck here, and we overhear the medic telling Ospreay he doesn’t have to go…but Will is having none of that as he starts heading to the ring. Crowd chant his name as Ospreay is being told by the doc to back off…only to slide into the ring anyway! Will insists he’s good and the ref calls for the bell to get this match underway!
Will Ospreay vs. PAC
PAC stomps away at Ospreay, targeting the neck as he forces Will to the ropes. Ref intervenes to check on Ospreay, who claims he’s fine even as PAC starts to go back after him before we go to break.
-AD BREAK (ON HBO MAX)-
Back from break, PAC has Ospreay trapped in a cravat before Will manages to finally break free to go to the corner. He lands a rather Phenomenal looking forearm off the ropes for the cover, but PAC kicks out at two. PAC lands some shots before being sent to the corner, but he fights back from the corner before Ospreay manages to counter a suplex into one of his own. 450 from the Aerial Assassin, but it’s only good for two.
Ospreay back to his feet as he sends PAC to the outside, but PAC intercepts in him the corner as the two go at it. Ospreay goes for a diving sunset powerbomb, but PAC blocks it for a moonsault into a DDT sending Will to the floor below. Both men are down as the ref begins the count. PAC returns before the count of eight, and Ospreay manages to slide in just in time…only for PAC to trap him in the Brutalizer! Ospreay crawls over to get a foot on the ropes, forcing the break as we go to an ad break.
-AD BREAK (ON HBO MAX)-
Back from break, the two men trade shots in the middle of the ring. This escalates to a missed kick from Ospreay, as PAC catches him with a German suplex and a two count. PAC hits the ropes but gets caught by Ospreay, who twists him around for a powerbomb and a nearfall of his own. He takes PAC down once more but only gets another two for his efforts.
Ospreay goes to the corner but is intercepted by PAC, who has some strong words for someone in the crowd before setting Ospreay up on the top for a poison rana…but Ospreay lands on his feet! He charges at PAC, who catches him with a hurricanrana for two. They exchange offense until PAC gets a two count, and then drops Ospreay down hard. He goes up top for a Black Arrow into a Brutalizer, trapping Ospreay near the ropes…until Ospreay powers up to his feet!
But not for long, as he drops back down to the canvas. Ref checks on Ospreay, who refuses to give up as he reaches a foot toward the ropes…only for PAC to roll through, bringing him back to the middle of the ropes! But Ospreay manages to counter for a pin, and gets the three count for the win!
Winner via pinfall: Will Ospreay
No time for celebration as PAC attacks Will after the bell rings, before the rest of the Death Riders follow suit. Claudio wraps a chair around Ospreay’s neck, but Mox holds him back enough to get a microphone. He says there’s six of us here, how did you think this was gonna go?
This could’ve been a very bad situation, but he’s just going to give Ospreay some advice: next time, use your head…or you’ll lose it. With that, the Death Riders leave Ospreay in the ring before heading through the crowd as a graphic reveals Mox will have a Continental Title Eliminator Match against Anthony Bowens tomorrow on Collision.
Commentary runs down what’s to come tonight before go to commercial.
