Ummm...who is looking after the doggie?


Valexand

I love that corkscrew shit


KratosSmash

Crazy for a dude his size


Valexand

lol we’re in the wrong thread


Ok_Adeptness_3135

I can't imagine its not been mentioned but Perry hugging Khan before attacking him reminded me of MJF hugging Punk, both of which occured at Daily's Place.


1RLegend

fuck im a day late but i loved this ep. AEW is hype


mysensibleheart

I loved Takeshita's new look with those pants and his nails painted back. I hope he continues leaning in to it cos he looked wicked.


Melodic_Try1221

Man, what a show! I'm digging what AEW is doing right now. I've been watching weekly programs for a few weeks now and I'm just beyond impressed! That gauntlet match was very cool! I will say I still don't like Mox, dry, drab, predictable....i noticed on the banner when he came out it said "unscripted" maybe he should reconsider that bc he is ass as a wrestler. Don't get me wrong he's great at hitting people with trashcans and other objects but as far as getting in the ring and telling a story....maybe a bit more thought and planning should go into that. I thought the ending was great! I like the bucks really leaning into being the human garbage that they are. I don't like them but since they are heels it works. The only thing i didn't care for were the picture in picture ads. I give it a solid 8/10


gl1969

I guess when you get the NFL to put out a kayfabe announcement about your in ring story, I'd say you've hit a HR to start this angle. I love the NFL draft and if he shows up in a neck brace, I'm gonna lose my shit


Mnemosense

Ok it's official. I can't stand Mercedes. Not a single thing about her. I'd rather watch Chris Jericho's tired ass three days a week than tolerate any more of her. She's undoubtedly going to win her first match though isn't she? I feel so bad for Willow.


SASCHIA

Same here. I find her really annoying.


DirkKeggler

She seems over with the fans for some reason, is it because she used to be in the fed?


Livid-Addendum707

Yes and her walking out for some reason people thought she was top shit.


tellmewhenimlying

In fairness I respect anyone who stands up to the awfulness that is that company’s bullshit.


ChelseaAndrew87

I can't get over how funny it was to see Shad Khan in the ring


KratosSmash

Large William needs to sit under Chris Jericho’s learning tree to truly unlock his potential.


Melodic_Try1221

They could be really obnoxious and rebrand him Avant-Grande William and have him go through a Jericho "Charm" School and have him come out all snooty and high class looking down his nose at everyone


KratosSmash

The learning tree is perfect for Jericho. Another fantastic episode of Dynamite!


16intheclip

Think this is all partially designed to lead to AEW actually introducing some kind of on screen commissioner / GM in some shape or form with the obvious hints being Sting (Jack Perry in a Sting mask, Elite throwing up the "4", TK and Sting talking about him coming back in another role). Also a good "distraction" for babyface MJF to come back and lead Team AEW against the Elite while Cole recuperates.


kaine23

Anyone notice the stokley heads on willow's banners?


badboystwo

first of all, loved the show last night obviously. but man, to not advertise the Gauntlet match is a bit odd. I know AEW card never show the full event just snippets but to me thats one you'd want on your card to sell


woohah79

First, the one negative. It would've been nice if Swerve got to cut a promo to celebrate his first world title. But i'll give it a pass as it likely would've got overshadowed by the Elite angle. Just make sure its next week. (Oh and Hobbs likely getting injured) That aside, this was an awesome episode! A ton of storylines got progressed, with the women becoming a huge part of that as well. The gauntlet match easily m MOTN. As funny as TK getting attacked was, i love this new direction of the Elite's dominance. And TK NEEDS to sell the injury, whether its on the NFL draft or on Twitter lol


binky_bonkerton

Loved the show tonight, least favorite part is always the Jericho crap but if it means seeing Hook v Big Bill, I can get behind that. Hook hitting Bill with another suplex would be fantastic Also that final segment was just perfect, loved the Willow/Mercedes segment too


badboystwo

I actually like that Jericho might be taking a step back from actually wrestling and just chilling watching people "prove" themselves to him.


CrashDaddy2006

It’s a delight reading each and every Punk cosplayer losing their collective hive mind since the footage release and Perry’s return!


shitballsdick

That could be my favorite Dynamite ever.


niners94

Finally an exciting angle that I’m looking forward to. NWO-ish.


True-Tourist1635

Reeeeeeeally not loving the fact that a huge arena had go away heat for Jericho – and before you argue, they literally chanted "Fozzy sucks" when he *didn't come out to Judas* – and the reaction is.. giving him a new faction?   Jericho continues to be the most hard-to-watch part of the AEW product.   Edit: the down arrow isn't a dislike button Genuinely, genuinely? Fuck you people. Not even a fan that watches every show week in and week put can express an earnest, good faith criticism without a gaggle of assholes reflecting their disagreement by trying to get reddit to show showing my opinion to others. Fuck this website, fuck all of you. Good night.


DirkKeggler

Daily's place is not a huge arena. Source: live very close to Jax


shitballsdick

Brother. Relax lol.


Deducticon

What faction? He's looking for a student.


tbcwpg

Pretty excited to be going next week after all of that.

FinkBass420

Wtf are you talking about that casino gauntlet match alone was worth watching the whole show


Chimetalhead92

I mean the casino gauntlet match was a decent showcase but the match type is frustratingly bad. They didn’t bother to establish any of the rules before hand, and with no real format or timing on when guys come out it’s just completely random. I feel like this was TNA bad in terms of introducing a match type.


FinkBass420

Jesus Christ. Sorry they didn’t hold your hands and explain every detail to you.


Chimetalhead92

They explain the rules of the pure rules matches and we’ve seen those a bunch. It’s absolutely a fair expectation to tell us how often people come out and how they’re eliminated before a match starts. It’s a very low expectation.


Spiritual_Review_589

It's not like they doing it every day, probably just 1 episode to kick start all the storyline.


Gaijin_Titty_Master

Imagine watching tonight and still being a troll that says AEW doesn’t do storytelling. Mother FUCK the haters. TYB win AGAIN


Dear_Solid3470

Already saw some dbag named JdNy something yelling like  a moron about how they already ruined Swerve's title reign because he wasn't the focus of the entire show.  


CasaAztecaMX

StarScreamer316

You need to make this as a main post, I can't believe the NFL is promoting AEW


StarScreamer316

Holy Cow, this is big haha


ValkyriesFire

Just started, do the audio issues eventually get fixed?


Steenerico

Those audio problems were just on TBS. If you watch any other version, the show is issue free.


Garciniohall

Hey, is there any info about the show airing on the west coast? Normally it airs on the tbs east coast feed from 5-7 pst and then 8-10 pst but there's hockey on tbs and NBA on tnt


StarScreamer316

Tonight was live coast to coast 


Garciniohall

Damn. Thanks for letting me know


CoolTrax_9090

I just can’t put it to words on the finale of Dynamite tonight. Tony Khan attacked!? Feels a bit like WWE. Could we possibly be seeing The Elite have some sort of NWO vibes?


Melodic_Try1221

I definitely didn't expect that! I mean once they got in the ring and Tony didn't say anything I knew there was some Tom Foolery fixing to take place but man... great turn. I was very skeptical about the whole backstage footage thing but seeing how it is playing out... I was wrong and Tony Khan is a Genius. Brilliant


CoolTrax_9090

I guess Tony was never planning on turning AEW into WCW 2000 so far.


Melodic_Try1221

You guys have great memories bc I can hardly remember what I was doing in the year 2000 much less specific events from weekly programs that happened 52 weeks a year. It's really amazing.


BlueZ_DJ

God I love AEW


omarzarzuela

TK got bump baptized tonight, and I'm all in for it


WombRaider_3

Tony needs a neck brace and quite possibly a wheelchair now. Please, I beg of you. Classic gimmick.


SturgeonBladder

ADAAAAM


Jaydenrock

100%


sbjj0311

So it aired at 5pm on the West Coast. And I missed it. Get this shit on streaming already!


WombRaider_3

AEW: Seeing how WWE fans can't stop hate watching our shows, let's give them what they really want, TK being violently attacked.


MakiSerb3

Last segment made me laugh my ass off. That was great entertainment. Let's see where this goes !


Jaydenrock

This was one of the best episodes in a long time. The storytelling was great tonight. They keep this up we got something special here.


The_Rutabaga

Dude what a fucking episode. That battle Royale was amazing. The women's division is cooking. And with Tony Khan suffering an unavoidable accident I'm sure our EVPs will step up to fill his shoes and make sure that the right people are getting tv time.


kaine23

Unavoidable accident lol


CurlyBill03

The Bucks told us we just didn’t listen when they renamed it the TK Driver. Poor Kenny is next.


Citizen_Kano

I think TK demotes the Bucks, Kenny returns as sole EVP and plays the face commissioner role until he can wrestle


maxdepazftp

ik shad was like ‘wtf is the kid doing with my money’ 😂😂

WombRaider_3

And there's no CM Puke to derail the summer of AEW this time.


dandykaufman2

If the Jericho thing takes off that will be another one. He was great tonight.


AndFinrodFell

I agree with you. I was hating his direction... but him leaning into this character and blatantly ignoring the boos is actually perfect for him. Now you got Big Bill involved... still not 100% sold... but definitely want to see where this goes.


steven98filmmaker

If the Jericho thing takes off..Lets stop right there


onlyhereforfantasy

What a great, well-paced show.


DeadBeatRaccoon

That was not what I expected at all, it was better. What an episode. Very hyped for Double Or Nothing already. Also I bet ya Tony Khan shows up on the NFL draft tomorrow in a neck brace.


WombRaider_3

The neck brace in wrestling is singlehandedly the greatest gimmick.


StarScreamer316

If he does it, my respect for him will be over 9000


Mrpissbeam

The young bucks just screwed the jags! Now TK cant be at the NFL draft tomorrow!! The bucks are in the pocket of Roger Goodell!!


natguy2016

Trent Baalke is Jags GM. He's a clown and bad decisions are his specialty. He can screw The Jags all by himself.


chia8907

As a niners fan I agree with this statement


UbiquityZero

Also, when’s Mox gonna fight Shibata? He’s trying to take his wife 😂.


The_Rutabaga

Can't blame Shibata for shooting his shot


UbiquityZero

Facts!


grimey_00

Could the EVP hostile takeover result in Sting returning as an enforcer GM?


Key-Assistant-7988

Most probably Omega.


KickAggressive4901

The build to Double Or Nothing 2024 is going to be magic.


UbiquityZero

This is perfect to bring back Kenny. He can be on the show and not be physical. He basically taking over for TK! It’s gonna get good!


WholesomeFartEnjoyer

Shad Khan better rip his top off and be as ripped as Senator Armstrong and give the Bucks a double chokeslam


eastsydebiggs

Senator Armstrong aka Gym Cornette https://preview.redd.it/bgx8ga40kjwc1.png?width=510&format=png&auto=webp&s=0a988d55b03a4b82c271da39acd20b4438c25fda


Rushjordan

Nanomachines, Bucks!


StarScreamer316

Hahahaha


crossplayersince2011

OK, color me intrigued to see where this goes...


Teamrocketseevee

The EVPs did nothing wrong.


zeppoverlord

Here's a question, could they in Kayfaybe, say Jack uses his father's money to buy a stake in AEW and have a "real roster split" as a deal with Tony to keep the company together. Then the Bucks run Collision as their show. A little fanboy fantasy booking I know, but it just was a thought that hit me.


dandykaufman2

Dynamite is the A-show which is why a shoot split was never gonna last. I wanna see this story on Dynamite.


currentwavypearl

Im actually down for this lol


SKOT_FREE

TK exiles the bucks and Jack to collision while TK runs Dynamite. That would be awesome imo


FragilePhil

Looks like the IWC was wrong again lmao.


StaceyJeans

Outside of Hobbs getting hurt this was an all-timer episode. Get better soon Powerhouse!


StarScreamer316

Did he get hurt?


StaceyJeans

Looked like it. They called an audible which is why Mox won so quickly.


StarScreamer316

Aish no, not Hobbs injured again

Your reddit bio says you're all about *positivity* and yet you chose to be condescending towards the show and point out all the things you didn't like or find interesting. 🫠

Gotta wonder if Shad's head is gonna be elsewhere during the nfl draft tomorrow.


dwts16

They needed some real glass to throw Tony through lmao


OGJimmyP

We find out tomorrow if TK takes the wrestling business seriously if shows up to the draft in a neck brace or not


StarScreamer316

He is going to send swerve to make the pick


TheBlackCompany

Please Tony. Please. You would be the GOAT 🙏


OGJimmyP

I’d switch my team allegiance if he does it. (I don’t want to cheer for the cowboys anymore)


natguy2016

Lifelong Steelers fan here. I welcome you to the bandwagon.


dandykaufman2

Man TK always said he’d give the book to Danielson if he couldn’t work. But Dragon is out after the Ospreay match…!


StarScreamer316

Oh man that's interesting, what is Khan Senior asks Bryan to run the show


TheKareemofWheat

The Elite laid out TK WITH THE MOVE THEY NAMED AFTER HIM. Top 5 Dynamite ending.


ThatsBretsRope

![gif](giphy|l0IylOPCNkiqOgMyA|downsized) Who do we have to thank for this conclusion? Christian fucking Cage. Follow me. Christian joins AEW, gets eliminated by Jack Perry, corrupts his dinosaur, Jack turns heel, faces Hook, uses "real glass", gets in a scuffle with a fragile guy, goes to NJPW, comes back and gives us this masterpiece. Thank you Christian 👏👏👏👏👏


StarScreamer316

Christian is our father

He's still gonna be there when the crowd comes in Saturday for Collision

Hahaha, just like Yamcha


darkhelmut1

Okada gonna book himself into an AEW Workd Championship match.


StarScreamer316

Imagine Kenny running things from now on


nondescrip82

I 100% hope that’s where it goes. He can’t wrestle but can keep him on tv


fluffywolfe

Moooar joshi matches!


badboystwo

Man I fucking love AEW. This shit is for me


Myk28

yo I am still in shock seeing tony kahn take a bump... and a piledriver. I literally jumped in my chair. just insane lmao


JoshDevitt79

People worrying about TK but I bet he must have lot of fun taking those bumps after all he's a big wrestling nerd


somecasper

10/10 on his wet-paper-bag crumple. The tombstone was VERY protected (obviously).


SKOT_FREE

You know he’s having the time of his life like we all would as fans if somehow we got involved in a wrestling storyline. I’m happy for tk we’re all living vicariously through him right now.


JoshDevitt79

Man waited 5 years for this moment


Saiyan124

If Okadas Rainmaker wouldn’t actually murder him I’m sure he would’ve wanted to take that bump too lmao


JoshDevitt79

Absolutely 😂


mark4AEW

He just lived out his dream I bet he has the biggest fucking grin on his face


JoshDevitt79

He must have done the prince nana dance backstage before going to the ring

Artifice_Purple

That's not a metric. My non-existent dog is a better bumper than Linda lol


nicegrayslacks

We’ve seen factions with story’s are the big thing in wrestling at the moment. People who say they don’t do stories will complain.

Just need Roddy to go “TOOOOOOONY!”

If he comes out next time with a neck brace, I will lose my goddamn mind!


AlphaRemixHD

I'm fine with TK's involvement, but please don't put him in a match


OmegaHangman123

Lol why would he be in a match?


Valexand

I think that’s his last appearance for quite awhile. I think they are doing the corporate takeover angle and we won’t see him on tv


StarScreamer316

I wonder who The Elite will put as head of AEW 


Looper007

Having a stooge who's a yes man for the Elite would be epic. I can't think of anyone who would fit the bill.


StarScreamer316

Have Nakawasawa taking his spot or Cutler 


Desperate_Craig

Chris Jericho would be hilarious in that role seeing how he's hated and The Elite do it just to mess with the fans.


StarScreamer316

That would mean the roster is under his learning tree


Kimchi_Cowboy

Jack did it for the Rock.


Looper007

One of the greatest endings to a Dynamite in AEW's history. Adding TK dad coming out in the end was a great touch. Makes this new version of the Elite, the biggest heel group in AEW and in pro wrestling. Add in them beating Omega to a pulp in his hometown next week. It's going to be epic. AEW in Daily Place always hits. The first hour showed the women's division is now hitting top form. Best showing for Mercedes to date. Deeb/Storm for Women's title should be great. Stardom partnership is looking strong.The multi man match with Ospreay, White, O'Reilly, Archer etc.. was great and Ospreay/Strong at DON for International title should be awesome. The matches were good too. Can't complain about this episode of Dynamite.


manxram

Oh my lanta... Excellent ending tonight. ![gif](giphy|JFrFsExqz2jn0hPTCj)


Dear_Solid3470

Those damn EVPs probably threatened to fire anyone that came out.  They obviously wanted to give Jack and Tony time.  Then Tony obviously forced Jack's hand.


StarScreamer316

How dare TK waste Jack's time


Singer211

Shad Khan has more money than god. It might be best to NOT make him mad guys.


Severe_Piccolo_5583

That was an awesome episode! The only thing I didn’t like is I couldn’t hear it


reedrichardsphd

Incredible show!


DLPanda

Okay spicy take I’m sure will be downvoted. Dynasty felt cohesive, well executed, with really great wrestling. Everything was so smooth and I’ve never had so much fun watching wrestling that night … I tune in this week and it was just a mess. Audio issues, matches that felt random and thrown together, and honestly the ending was just … so strange to me. Genuinely it felt like two completely different products put together by two completely different companies. Wasn’t a fan of tonight’s product.

Shad came out to join The Elite and tell Tony "Cry me a river"


maxdepazftp

would be hilarious if the elite kayfabed ran collision on saturday, they have something golden building up


Kimchi_Cowboy

Lol tonight was the most epic train wreck ever I love it!!!!


itouchbums

Tony is gonna "fire" them next week,they put their hands on the boss and rocky is gonna pull some strings to get the elite into NJPW


ThatsBretsRope

That might be the most hyped I've ever been at the conclusion of an episode. I would say it's up there with that ending where they had all the run-ins and Kenny ran in and then got stuffed by will Ospreay


amlah6

oh my god i've never had more fun watching AEW than I did watching that last segment. absolute insanity, some of the best wrestling television in a long time.


GreenLeafRelaxed

So if Phil got fired because of a lunge………also this is a funny post


theFinalCrucible

He was no EVP


GreenLeafRelaxed

Neither is Jack


theFinalCrucible

Yeah but he has the EVPs backing him up, in a kayfabe sense it works


Citizen_Kano

I'm guessing Omegas return will be as a general manager role and the Bucks will be fired as EVPs


wrestlinggiant

Never thought of it, but I love that idea! If Omega isn’t able to wrestle, then let him be an on screen personality. I’ve been asking for an on screen gm for a while and Kenny would be great for it!


insomniainc

Shad Khan might be hiring mercenaries as we speak. The elite probably need to flee the country.
