I sure hope you like your block busted, because it’s time for AEW Summer Blockbuster!
We start with a cold open as Toni Storm enters the building being “driven” around by Luther, and elsewhere Christopher Daniels warns Hangman Page about trying to go up against the Death Riders. With that, we get a special Summer Blockbuster take on the Dynamite intro to kick off the show!
AEW Summer Blockbuster Part 1 (Dynamite)
We head to ringside as Will Ospreay heads down the ramp to a big pop for our opening contest! Out next is Swerve Strickland who ALSO gets a big pop, and after Strickland enters the ring this match gets underway!
Will Opsreay vs. Swerve Strickland
After the pair soak in the praise from the crowd, Strickland extends a hand to Ospreay…which Will accepts, shaking it in a show of sportsmanship. This leads to a bit of wrist control as they look to see who can get the upper hand. Exchange of offense leads to a leapfrog from Ospreay, but Swerve catches him by surprise before they both get to their feet. They hit headscissors on each other, taking each man down to the mat only for both to rise back up quickly. This ends with a standoff as the crowd chants “Whose House? Swerve’s House” throughout.
The pair lock up, with Ospreay sending Swerve to the ropes before the ref intervenes. A nosebleed from Ospreay seems to get aggravated after a palm strike by Strickland, who sends the Aerial Assassin to the ropes…before Ospreay catches him with a skytwister press, but that’s not enough for even a one count!
Swerve gets sent to the corner, where Ospreay lays in some strikes before pulling him away for a chop. Swerve looks barely fazed as he stares Will down. Strickland lays in some strikes of his own, leading to a dropkick that sends Ospreay to the mat. Ospreay gets to the ropes and pulls the top one down, forcing Swerve to the outside…but Strickland takes control with a set of kicks before bringing Ospreay back in the ring, sending him down hard for a two count before Ospreay kicks out.
Ospreay finds himself in the corner as Swerve goes back to work, landing a backbreaker of sorts on the Aerial Assassin to keep him down for another two count. He grabs the arm of Ospreay while clutching his face, but Will fights to his feet before Swerve blocks an arm drag to take him back to the canvas.
Ospreay gets to his feet once more, fighting out for some chops…but Strickland catches him with an elbow. Ospreay fights back with a forearm to the throat, opening up for a corkscrew kick that forces Strickland to the corner. Elbow strike is followed with a springboard elbow by Ospreay, but Swerve rolls to the outside for a breather…before Ospreay gets the drop on him with a Sasuke Special, to the approval of the crowd as we go to a full ad break on Max.
-FULL AD BREAK (ON MAX)-
Back from break, Ospreay and Swerve are back in the ring with Will taking the advantage…but not for long, as Strickland takes him to the ropes for a kick to the face. He hangs Ospreay up on the ropes, setting up for a neckbreaker forcing the Aerial Assassin down hard to the floor.
He brings Ospreay back to the ring, sending him to the mat for a nearfall before targeting the arm as he bends it back…until Ospreay catches him with a side headlock, forcing him on his back for a nearfall! Ospreay is back up as Strickland gets to his feet, and he connects with a strike to set up for a Storm Breaker…but Swerve counters! Strickland goes for a brainbuster, but Ospreay counters with a Stundog Millionaire–but he leaves an arm open that Strickland grabs for a cross arm breaker!
Ospreay finds a way to break out of this by getting to a vertical base, hoisting Swerbve up and over to send him into the turnbuckle. Both men get to their feet as Swerve gets to the turnbuckle…but Ospreay catches him for a kick to the face, followed by a hurricanrana. Swerve blocks a Hidden Blade, but takes a Spanish Fly that gets Ospreay a nearfall. Will lands an Oscutter on Strickland, but only gets a two count when Swerve kicks out.
Ospreay leaves the ring as Swerve goes for an Asai Moonsault…but Ospreay manages to dodge it, sliding back into the ring before landing a Hidden Blade on Strickland! Both men are down on the outside, with Swerve slowly rising up as we go to a full ad break on Max.
-FULL AD BREAK (ON MAX)-
Both men are back in the ring now as they trade strikes. Ospreay lands a couple hard kicks that force Strickland to a knee…but Swerve manages to dodge a Hidden Blade, forcing Will to collide with the ring post instead! He brings Ospreay up the turnbuckle before sending him down to the mat. He goes for a cross arm breaker once more as Ospreay struggles to break free…but now Swerve has a triangle choke locked in!
Elbow strikes from Strickland don’t keep Ospreay from getting to his feet, only for Strickland to escape a Styles Clash attempt to hit a Dead Eye! Cover by Swerve, but it’s only good for a two count. Strickland goes up top for a Swerve Stomp, but Ospreay rolls away before landing a Hidden Blade…but Swerve manages to kick out at two!
The two men slowly build to a vertical base, staring each other down before trading strikes as commentary notes we’re slowly approaching the 30-minute time limit. Ospreay and Strickland make it to their feet as they continue the exchange…before Swerve takes Ospreay down with an arm wringer and a House Call! Strickland goes back up top and hits the Swerve Stomp for the cover…but it’s only a two count once again! Swerve goes after the arm, nearly snapping it with a kick before heading to the corner…only to run into a Hidden Blade! Ospreay with the Stormbreaker and the cover…but Swerve narrowly gets a shoulder up to save the match for himself.
Ospreay struggles to his feet as he brings up Swerve with a double underhook, debating what move he should make…but Strickland escapes before a decision can be made, catching Ospreay with a Vertebreaker instead! Strickland gets to the corner for a House Call, leaving Ospreay just under the bottom rope as commentary says we’re down to the final minute. Swerve heads toward the corner as Ospreay struggles to move. Strickland gets to the top, but stumbles as he looks for the Swerve Stomp…and the bell rings! That’s time, as Justin Robert confirms the match is a draw to a chorus of boos from the crowd.
Will Opsreay vs. Swerve Strickland ends in a Time Limit Draw
Not looking quite pleased at the result, Strickland grabs a microphone to talk about these two being two of the best in the place where the best wrestle. The way to prove you’re the best is to finish the match. He knows they’re both broken down, but wants Sudden Death.
But instead of Sudden Death, we get the arrival of the Death Riders. The group makes their way through the crowd toward the ring, where they look upon Ospreay laying on the floor before surrounding the ring itself…just as the Young Bucks rush into the ring to blindside Strickland! EVP Trigger knocks him out, and then they lay out Prince Nana before putting handcuffs on Swerve to attach him to the corner for a series of superkicks.
They pull out shoes with thumbtacks on the soles to continue the beatdown…but Ospreay slides in to take the proverbial bullet instead! Bucks leave the ring as the doc checks on Ospreay, while commentary talks about what went down.
They also talk about the contract signing for the Winner Takes All match at All In Texas, before heading backstage to hear from Kazuchika Okada on his thoughts about the match…before Don Callis interrupts, asking why it’s Okada in the match and not Kyle Fletcher. This riles up Okada who nearly attacks Callis as the Family steps in…but Okada just mocks him before walking off.
Later tonight we will see CMLL’s Mistico in action!
-COMMERCIAL BREAK-
Backstage there is a commotion, and we quickly find out this is earlier today as we see Komander being laid out by the Hurt Syndicate. Mascara Dorada will take his spot in the trios match later tonight, but we head back to ringside where Mistico gets a big pop for our next match against Blake Christian. The bell rings and we’re underway!
Mistico vs. Blake Christian
Mistico gets the early advantage, until Christian takes the luchador down to the mat. He brings Mistico toward the ropes where he drives a boot into his throat until the ref intervenes, and this gives Mistico a chance to fight back with a takedown on the ROH mainstay. Mistico heads to the ropes as Blake tries to take him down again…but this time he takes a hurricanrana of sorts that forces Christian to the outside. Mistico with a big dive through the ropes before bringing Blake back into the ring for a kick, followed by a springboard cross body that gets the luchador a nearfall.
Mistico gets the crowd going before heading up the turnbuckle, but Lee Johnson gets involved allowing Blake to catch the luchador on the outside. He brings Mistico back in the ring and goes up top for a 450 splash…but the cover only results in a two count. Blake returns to the corner but is intercepted by Mistico, who hits a Spanish Fly sending Christian down to the mat for the victory!
Winner via pinfall: Mistico
The celebration is cut short by the arrival of the Hurt Syndicate, the crowd chanting “We hurt people” as MVP speaks up for an official announcement from the Hurt Syndicate. Specifically, we have a message from MJF for Mistico, the crowd not wanting any of it as they boo louder and louder while MJF talks about being the best pro wrestler in the world today. MJF offers a match to “Misty” next week at Grand Slam Mexico, but he’s not getting just anyone…he’s getting the return of the patriot, as MJF dusts off the red, white, and blue. God bless America, and God bless your American hero…MJF!
The patriotic music hits as we get red, white, and blue streamers and the MJF-USA flag drops down at ringside. MJF gets in the ring, where Mistico laughs at him before accepting the match. He says something in Spanish that MJF confers with MVP on the translation, riling MJF up as he says Mistico to him is just “sloppy Sin Cara.” He goes for a punch but Mistico blocks, only for the Hurt Syndicate to blindside the luchador…but before they can do much else, Speedball and his amazing friends come through the crowd for the save!
The Hurt Syndicate clears from the ring, as Bailey, Kevin Knight, and Mascara Dorada egg the team to return for their match. The bell rings as chaos ensues before our next match officially gets underway!
Trios Match: The Hurt Syndicate (Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin and MJF) vs. Speedball Bailey, Mascara Dorada and Kevin Knight

Mascara fights back until MJF gets him in the eye, mocking the crowd before taking a poke to the eyes by Dorada for revenge. He drops MJF down to the mat before tagging in Kevin Knight, who in turn tags in Bailey for a double-team and the nearfall.
Dorada tags back in as MJF tries to beg him off, only to force him to the Syndicate corner…where Bobby brings the luchador crashing to the floor with a big toss as we go to a full ad break on Max!
-FULL AD BREAK (ON MAX)-

Speedball tags himself in as MJF rolls away for a tag to Lashley…and the tag champs stand off with Knight and Bailey, leading to a German suplex by Shelton on Speedball, before he gets sent into a big drop by Lashley!
MJF looks for a tag and MVP says Bobby should tag him in, as MJF catches Speedball with a pumphandle driver for a two count before Bailey kicks out. MJF mocks the crowd before Bailey catches him by surprise, forcing him to roll away as Lashley comes running in…right into a flurry of kicks by Speedball, who launches Knight at the All Mighty! JetSpeed take control of the situation, forcing Lashley and Benjamin to the outside for dives…followed by a middle rope shooting star press by Dorada onto MJF!
Speedball goes up top but takes a cane shot to the back by MVP with the ref distracted, allowing MVP to hit a hammerlock DDT for the win!
Winners via pinfall: The Hurt Syndicate
The trio continue the beatdown, going after Knight and Dorada as well as MJF looks to pull the latter’s mask off. Dorada tries to fight him off but to no avail, as the luchador has to hide his face while MJF shows the mask to a crowd booing him. He tosses the mask to the outside…but gets blindsided with a headscissors takedown by Mistico! He helps Dorada out of the ring before talking smack with the Syndicate from outside, reminding MJF that he will see him next week in Mexico as we go to commercial break.
-COMMERCIAL BREAK-
We head back to ringside as the music of “Hangman” Adam Page plays…but we see the Death Riders attacking a bound Page in the entrance tunnel instead! Wheeler Yuta and Claudio Castagnoli bring him to the ring as Marina Shafir follows with the briefcase (presumably) holding the AEW World Championship.
Mox enters the ring now as well, a microphone in his hand as he apologizes to Page for all of this. He wanted to have a real conversation and knows how distracted Hangman can get. We need you focused, because this is your time. All In for the AEW World Championship, for you this is do or die. The crowd lets Mox know how they feel as Mox says he’s been watching Adam for a long time, and he’s a complicated man.
For a long time Page has been searching for something. Mox doesn’t know what that is, but Page has four weeks to find it, to step up and become the man the people want him to be. If he’s not prepared to step up he can pack his s–t up and get the hell out. Page responds as best he can…with a headbutt on the champ, leading to the Death Riders taking him down once again! The Opps come running out for the save, forcing the Death Riders to retreat through the crowd as Page is able to break free of his bindings.
He takes the microphone saying he’s worked too hard to lose it all in Texas, and if he finds even one of the Death Riders tonight he will take their head! He grabs a chair and makes his way through the crowd, a man on a hunt as we get a graphic reminding us of the contract signing later tonight for Okada/Omega at All In Texas…and with that, we go to commercial.
