AEW Dynamite Results August 2, 2023: Highlights
Chris Jericho & Konosuke Takeshita (w/Don Callis) Vs Sammy Guevara & Daniel Garcia ##
Guevara and Jericho exchanged hard strikes at the beginning until Guevara cleverly used a jumping knee to create a distraction, followed by a Le Sex Gods pose with him and Garcia. When Garcia got into the match, he demanded Takeshita to tag in. Takeshita swiftly entered the fray and delivered a powerful leaping clothesline, mocking Garcia's earlier gestures. With Garcia down, Jericho tagged in and slapped him to wake him up. However, Jericho was unaware of Callis tripping Garcia's leg, leading to Garcia running into a big boot and Jericho heading into the commercial break. ##
During the commercial break, Garcia was isolated and trapped in the opponents' corner. He managed to get his knees up to counter a Lionsault, creating an opening for Guevara to make a thrilling hot tag. Guevara entered the ring with a huge cross body, sending both Takeshita and Jericho out of the ring. Guevara then followed up with back-to-back dives and a massive Frog Splash for a near fall. There was a skirmish between Jericho and Guevara, but Garcia intervened with a tackle on Jericho while Takeshita hit Guevara with a Blue Thunder Bomb. Guevara successfully avoided Takeshita's finishing move, the Walls of Takeshita, and then executed an impressive Spanish Fly on Jericho. ##
Guevara made the tag to Garcia, who unfortunately fell victim to a Code Breaker from Jericho but managed to kick out at two. Garcia rebounded from the attack, delivering a flying knee from the corner. Meanwhile, Takeshita was sent outside the ring by Guevara, who then performed a spectacular Shooting Star Press to the floor, inadvertently catching Takeshita's face with his elbow. Back in the ring, Garcia attempted the Dragon Slayer, but referee Aubrey appeared to be distracted, looking toward the floor for some reason. This allowed Don Callis to hit Garcia with a baseball bat. Jericho seemed initially displeased with the interference but ultimately took advantage of the situation to secure the pinfall and the victory. ##
WINNER: Chris Jericho & Konosuke Takeshita (w/Don Callis) ##
Jack Perry & Jerry Lynn Face to Face ##
As Tony Schiavone introduced Perry to the ring, the arena resounded with boos as he forcefully snatched the microphone and demanded Jerry Lynn to come out and face him. Lynn appeared on the stage and expressed his desire to teach Perry a lesson but stated that it would be akin to committing child abuse. He clarified that he wasn't in charge of the show and that no doctor would clear him to compete in the ring. However, Lynn had a plan and called upon a close friend from the ECW days who still actively wrestles, eliciting massive chants for RVD from the enthusiastic crowd. The familiar tunes of Pantera's 'Walk' reverberated, and Rob Van Dam made his captivating entrance to his classic ECW theme music. RVD and Perry confronted each other in the ring, but Perry quickly retreated as RVD and Jerry Lynn took a defiant stance. ##
Perry attempted a sneaky attack with a chair, causing RVD to narrowly miss hitting him with a Van Daminator. However, Perry evaded the strike and hastily made his escape through the crowd, even going so far as to use a child as a shield to shield himself from any potential retribution. ##
Following the intense encounter, a video package highlighted the highly anticipated AEW Women's Title match featuring Toni Storm and Hikaru Shida. ##
Trent Beretta VS Jon Moxley & Penta El Zero Miedo (w/Alex Abrahantes) in an Anything Goes Match
Beretta wasted no time and took down Moxley with a swift dive, followed closely by Penta delivering one of his own, setting the tone for the brutal encounter. Various weapons were scattered around ringside, and Penta capitalized by landing trash can shots on both Moxley and Beretta. Penta got caught up in his celebration, allowing Moxley to counter with a Cutter. Moxley then retrieved a barbed wire 2x4 from under the ring, but before he could employ it, Penta struck back with a backstabber. Beretta intervened, preventing Penta from taking full advantage. Moxley managed to floor Beretta and utilized the barbed wire 2x4 for a piledriver, though he also felt the pain from the weapon. ##
Bleeding from the earlier onslaught, Beretta fought back and executed a back suplex onto the barbed wire as Penta and Abrahantes prepared tables outside the ring. Beretta found himself on the tables, but Moxley halted Penta's progress with a barbed wire attack from the ropes. Together, Beretta and Moxley engaged in a massive superplex through the tables as the show went into a commercial break. ##
During the break, Penta set up more tables, leading to a wild three-way slugfest upon the return. Beretta attempted a superplex on Penta through the table, but Penta countered with an impressive Avalanche Destroyer, crashing through the table. Moxley then tackled Penta through another table he had set up. As the intense battle continued, Moxley brought a bag from under the ring, revealing thumbtacks, and proceeded to rip off Penta's shirt. Moxley and Penta exchanged finisher attempts until Moxley executed a piledriver onto the tacks, earning a close two-count. Following that, Moxley executed a flipping suplex onto the tacks, putting himself through pain to deliver a Cutter on Beretta onto the same tacks. Beretta, however, countered a piledriver attempt and landed a Crunchie on Moxley onto the tacks. Penta broke the pin by throwing a trash can at Beretta. Another three-way slugfest ensued, with Beretta eventually falling victim to a King Kong Lariat on the tacks, leaving Moxley and Penta to continue the brawl. Moxley hit a Paradigm Shift on Penta, but Beretta flew in with a flying knee and capitalized on the opportunity to pin Penta for the victory. ##
WINNER: Trent Beretta ##
Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) VS Jeff Jarrett, Jay Lethal & Satnam Singh (w/Sonjay Dutt & Karen Jarrett)
Jeff Jarrett and Kenny Omega initiated the action, with Jarrett performing an early bodyslam followed by a Fargo Strut. Jay Lethal entered the ring but was swiftly taken down, leading to quick tags from The Bucks. The dynamic duo executed a pop-up hurricanrana and a double dropkick, and then Singh tagged in. A determined Matt Jackson soon realized his mistake and wisely tagged in his brother, Nick. The Bucks unleashed a series of well-coordinated dropkicks, causing Singh to execute a crossbody that took down both Jackson brothers. Taking advantage of the situation, Singh, Lethal, and Jarrett all taunted The Elite's signature pose as they headed into a commercial break, effectively isolating Nick. ##
After the break, Nick managed to make the hot tag to Omega, who took down Lethal with a You Can't Escape move. However, Lethal countered Omega's moonsault with a well-timed knee, with Singh creating a distraction. The Bucks attempted a Lethal Injection on their opponents but were skillfully evaded, leading to a barrage of superkicks that knocked down Lethal, Jarrett, and Singh. Omega then delivered a powerful V-Trigger to take out the massive Singh. As Omega signaled for the One Winged Angel, the match's dynamics took a sudden twist when Karen Jarrett interfered, pulling the referee away from the action. This allowed Sonjay Dutt to seize the opportunity and attack Omega. ##
Lethal connected with a Lethal Combination on Omega as Brandon Cutler sprayed cold spray into Karen's face. The Hardy brothers, Matt and Jeff, rushed to ringside and took care of Dutt, while Jarrett was poised to use a guitar against Omega. However, Hangman Page appeared out of nowhere and delivered a devastating Buckshot Lariat to Jarrett. As Lethal attempted to use a guitar of his own, he was met with a brutal V-Trigger and a One Winged Angel by Omega, securing the victory. The Elite stood tall as Nick unleashed his frustration on the guitar with their triumphant music playing in the background. ##
WINNER: Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) ##
Aussie Open (Kyle Fletcher & Mark Davis) Vs El Hijo del Vikingo & Komander (w/Alex Abrahantes) for the ROH Tag Team Titles ##
In a lightning-quick start, Vikingo sent Fletcher crashing to the floor while Komander gracefully walked off Vikingo's shoulders, executing a hurricanrana on Davis, who regrouped outside with Fletcher. Back inside the ring, Komander was caught with a fireman's carry punt kick, but he couldn't be isolated for long. Komander smartly lowered the top rope, sending Fletcher once again to the floor. Then, Komander impressively wall walked and propelled Davis to the outside with the help of a springing Vikingo.
Fletcher found himself entangled in the ropes, and Vikingo took advantage, delivering a devastating guillotine legdrop. Both wrestlers attempted double dives, but Davis and Fletcher were ready, catching them both and causing a spectacular collision around ringside. ##
During the break, Komander was isolated, but the tide turned when Vikingo made a hot tag. However, his momentum was swiftly halted when he was caught mid-air by a double superkick from Davis and Fletcher. Davis and Fletcher then teamed up for a running up-and-over slam, earning a near fall of two counts. Vikingo was left sandwiched between Davis and Fletcher, receiving a powerful double forearm shot. ##
While Vikingo was in a fireman's carry position, Komander soared in off the back and hit a leaping Destroyer on Fletcher, while Vikingo executed a Crucifix Bomb on Davis. Aussie Open was sent tumbling to the floor, prompting Vikingo and Komander to both perform mesmerizing rope walks into moonsaults outside the ring. ##
With Davis down inside the ring, Vikingo and Komander went all out, connecting with a breathtaking double 450 splash. However, Fletcher managed to break up the pin attempt. In an action-packed finish, Fletcher and Vikingo spilled outside the ring as Komander attempted a rope walk Shooting Star but unfortunately missed. Davis and Fletcher delivered a perfectly synchronized Coriolis to retain their hard-earned titles. ##

Hikaru Shida Vs Toni Storm (w/Saraya & Ruby Soho) For the AEW Women’s Title ##
Both competitors exchanged fierce forearm strikes at the beginning before Storm sought refuge with her allies, The Outcasts. Once they returned to the ring, Shida positioned Storm on the apron and landed a running knee strike, following it up by sending Storm into the guardrail. Shida attempted punches, but Storm evaded and retaliated by slamming Shida's head onto the railing. Back in the ring, Storm was suplexed into the corner and then executed a proper suplex while Shida was still recovering from her encounter with the railing. Storm took control and delivered a running hip attack, forcing Shida to the outside, where she briefly endured a beating from Ruby Soho & Saraya, who was particularly vocal that night. ##
During the final picture-in-picture segment of the night, Storm maintained dominance inside the ring. However, Shida managed to avoid Sweet Cheek Music in the corner and responded with a release German suplex. An enzuigiri sent Storm into the corner, setting Shida up to deliver several running knee strikes and her trademark ten corner punches. Shida then executed a missile dropkick for a two-count, followed by a Meteora for a very close near fall. Although Shida attempted a superplex, interference from Saraya allowed Storm to counter with a Tornado DDT. Storm followed up with a powerful Sweet Cheek Music and DDT, but Shida displayed her resilience and refused to give up. ##
Both competitors engaged in a fierce exchange of chops and forearm strikes until Shida landed a pumping knee strike and a Falcon Arrow for another near fall. Saraya introduced a kendo stick into the ring, attempting to distract the referee, but Shida decided not to use it. Instead, she struck Soho on the apron with the kendo stick. When the referee turned to deal with the kendo stick, Storm used spray paint to blind Shida temporarily. Despite hitting Storm Zero, Shida managed to kick out to the delight of the crowd. Storm attempted another Storm Zero, but Shida countered with a backdrop and a quick, high stack pin to secure the flash victory and claim the title. ##
WINNER: Hikaru Shida ##
