AEW Dynamite Results June 28, 2023: Highlights ##
Jon Moxley (w/Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta) Vs Tomohiro Ishii ##
These two engaged in a fierce stare-down reminiscent of their memorable encounter during the 2019 5 Star G1 Climax. They wasted no time and immediately started exchanging powerful chops and forearms. Ishii charged out of the corner with a shoulder tackle, prompting Moxley to respond by biting at Ishii's nose. In retaliation, Ishii returned the favor with a bite of his own. Moxley then sent Ishii to the floor and followed up with a spectacular tope, crashing into him before taking a celebratory lap among the crowd. ##
Castagnoli and Yuta closed in on Ishii, cornering him, until the music of Eddie Kingston abruptly blared through the arena. Kingston stormed out, grabbed a chair, and engaged in a heated argument with Moxley, leading to a commercial break. Upon returning, Moxley regained control with a neckbreaker on the apron. ##
Ishii exhibited his trademark no-selling ability, absorbing Moxley's forearms and retaliating with a massive superplex that garnered a two-count. The intensity escalated as both men relentlessly exchanged forearms, captivating the increasingly enthusiastic fans. Ishii unleashed a devastating combination, but Moxley swiftly turned the tables with a perfectly placed strike, dropping Ishii with a Gotch Style Piledriver. Moxley followed up with a series of anvil-like elbow strikes, provoking Ishii to defiantly flip him off. Unfazed, Moxley locked in a Bulldog Choke. ##
A thunderous King Kong Lariat from Moxley only managed to secure a one-count, as both competitors continued trading knee strikes, resulting in both of them collapsing. Following a brutal exchange of headbutts, Moxley found himself bleeding but still managed to connect with the Paradigm Shift. To everyone's surprise, Ishii kicked out. Ishii cleverly avoided the Death Rider and retaliated with a punishing lariat, earning a near fall. Ishii shrugged off a Cutter from Moxley and delivered a fierce Sliding Lariat, but Moxley skillfully countered a brainbuster into another Death Rider, coming agonizingly close to victory. ##
In a desperate move, Ishii executed a last-ditch enzuigiri, but Moxley responded with a decisive Curb Stomp followed by one final Death Rider for the hard-fought win. After the match, Kingston applauded Moxley for his solo triumph, but Moxley brushed past him without a word. ##
WINNER: Jon Moxley ##
Backstage, Renee Paquette was seen expressing her frustration while discussing the upcoming Blind Eliminator Tournament. Adam Cole made his entrance alongside MJF, who congratulated Cole on conveniently falling ill to avoid his Forbidden Door match, jokingly admitting he wished he had thought of it himself. Despite acknowledging that no one could match the level of The Devil (referring to MJF), Cole reluctantly agreed to bond with him during the weekend. MJF's driver tossed Cole a shirt that boldly proclaimed "Better Than You BayBay." ##
A visibly angry Renee Paquette confronted Jon Moxley backstage, where he was accompanied by Castagnoli and Yuta. Eddie Kingston joined the scene and expressed his disappointment, questioning Moxley's choice to associate with someone like Castagnoli, whom he referred to as a scumbag. Moxley brushed off Kingston's concerns, stating that he didn't care about any lingering animosity from their CHIKARA days. As Moxley stormed off, Paquette urged Kingston to resolve the issue. ##

AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy, AAA Mega Champion El Hijo Del Vikingo & Keith Lee Vs Daniel Garcia, Matt Menard & Angelo Parker ##
Vikingo utilized his impressive speed early on, executing a dazzling double springboard arm drag on Garcia, who was sent flying with a head scissors and quickly retreated from the ring. This prompted Parker and Cassidy to interfere, but their attempts were met with a twist of fate. Parker comically fixed his hair, only for Cassidy to snatch the comb away, cheekily tucking it into his pocket. Amidst a momentary miscommunication between Parker and Menard, Cassidy seized the opportunity to comb his hair as Garcia tried to launch an attack. However, Garcia found himself trapped in a painful bow and arrow hold, with Vikingo delivering a punishing double stomp. ##
Menard cleverly tripped up Vikingo, allowing Garcia to regain control and isolate Vikingo from his partner. Parker and Menard capitalized on the situation, executing a well-coordinated drop toe hold followed by a leaping elbow combo. Their success momentarily got to their heads as they decided to mock Lee, who was stationed on the apron. However, their taunting backfired as Vikingo made a blistering hot tag to Lee. ##
Lee unleashed his power and steamrolled through everyone in his path. Meanwhile, Garcia attempted to show off by dancing while standing on Lee's back. But his momentary arrogance proved to be his downfall as Lee powered up, dispatching Menard and Parker to the ringside floor. Vikingo, displaying incredible athleticism, soared from the top rope with a massive moonsault, taking out Parker and Menard. ##
Back inside the ring, Garcia managed to secure a two-count on Cassidy and locked in the Dragon Tamer submission hold. The match descended into chaos as Parker fell victim to an Orange Punch from Cassidy, while Lee fearlessly shrugged off Menard's chops. Ultimately, Lee delivered a devastating Supernova move to Daddy Magic, securing the victory. ##
WINNER: AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy, AAA Mega Champion El Hijo Del Vikingo & Keith Lee ##
The Young Bucks and Hangman Page were seen having a conversation backstage regarding their upcoming open challenge for a six-man tag match. Just as they were discussing the details, the Dark Order unexpectedly entered the frame, with John Silver stepping forward to accept the challenge. Page suggested expanding the match to a 12-man tag, but Reynolds insisted that they were accepting the six-man challenge. Evil Uno confronted Page, accusing him of abandoning the Dark Order despite their support during his darkest moments and aligning himself with The Elite. Page tried to explain himself, but the Dark Order was unwilling to listen. ##
A brief video package highlighted the outstanding main event from the Forbidden Door event, featuring Bryan Danielson submitting Kazuchika Okada. ##
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviewed Chris Jericho and Sammy Guevara. Paquette inquired about Jericho tapping into his Painmaker persona. Jericho emphasized that tonight's match was of significant magnitude, surpassing the Forbidden Door event. He declared that the showdown between Sting and himself should be televised on TBS, with Tony Schiavone on commentary. Tonight, Sting would face his worst nightmare, as he would be confronted by The Painmaker, Chris Jericho, who would give him more time inside the ring than he ever desired. ##
Hangman Adam Page & The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) VS Evil Uno, John Silver & Alex Reynolds (w/-1) ##
Nick and Reynolds engaged in an impressive back-and-forth opening sequence, with Nick executing a skillful rope walk arm drag. Silver eagerly tagged in, specifically targeting Page, who reluctantly entered the ring. Page made another attempt to explain himself before locking up with Silver. Silver displayed his resilience by no-selling Page's shoulder block and retaliating with a powerful back elbow to break free from a waist lock. This awakened Page, prompting him to tag in Matt. Canada's own Evil Uno received a warm response from the crowd as he entered the match. Uno wasted no time in leveling Nick and Page on the apron, briefly gaining the upper hand. However, The Bucks quickly regained control by double-teaming Reynolds and Silver. Uno retaliated with a double clothesline, jaw-jacking with Page on the apron, only to fall victim to a double superkick from The Bucks. The Bucks then executed impressive dives onto the entire Dark Order, intensifying their aggression. They urged Page to actively participate in the fight, which drew boos from the crowd, but ultimately Page remained passive. The Bucks maintained control of the match during the break. ##
A miscommunication between The Bucks allowed Uno to make a fiery hot tag, unleashing his fury on The Elite. Uno delivered a neckbreaker assisted by the referee and followed up with a piledriver on Nick, but Page broke up the pinfall. Once again, Page refused to engage Uno, who responded by slapping him, leading to Page finally making the legal tag and engaging in a slugfest with Uno. Both Uno and Reynolds executed double DDTs from the apron, taking out The Bucks. Reynolds and Silver combined forces to hit the Wombo Combo on Page, resulting in a near fall. The Bucks saved Page from the Pendulum Bomb, while Reynolds and Uno crashed on the outside. Page delivered a devastating lariat, turning Silver inside out, but he hesitated, allowing Silver to counter Page's Buckshot with a hurricanrana. Page swiftly countered Silver's home run kick into Dead Eye, and The Bucks followed up with the BTE Trigger. Finally, Page landed the decisive Buckshot Lariat, securing the victory for his team. ##
WINNERS: Hangman Adam Page & The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) ##
After the match, Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, and Wheeler Yuta stormed the ring, launching a fierce attack on The Elite. The Dark Order stood by, observing the chaos before deciding to retreat. Yuta unleashed a brutal brainbuster onto a chair, targeting Matt. Konosuke Takeshita and Don Callis were also present during the chaotic scene. Jon Moxley brandished a screwdriver and viciously struck Page, causing him to bleed profusely. Eddie Kingston rushed to the ring, but he was mercilessly beaten down by Castagnoli and Yuta, who trapped his arm in a chair. Unaware of the unfolding brutality, Moxley turned his back, while Castagnoli ruthlessly struck Kingston's trapped arm with yet another chair. Moxley declared that it was time to bring an end to this feud once and for all, announcing a date and venue—July 19th at the TD Garden in Boston—for a grueling Blood & Guts showdown. ##
Video packages showcasing the highly anticipated matches in the Owen Hart Tournament were aired. Viewers were treated to previews of Roderick Strong versus Samoa Joe, Dustin Rhodes versus Powerhouse Hobbs, and Juice Robinson versus Ricky Starks, all scheduled to take place this week on Collision. ##
Jungle Boy Jack Perry Explains His Actions ##
Perry made a grand entrance, sporting sunglasses and insisting that they turn off "Tarzan Boy" because the fans have ruined the song for him. He announced that he had a car waiting for him backstage while highlighting the wildfires that have affected Canada, implying that he had the means to escape while others were struggling. Perry boasted about cashing hefty paychecks and being involved with the most attractive woman in AEW. He questioned whether he had turned on HOOK or if everyone else had turned on him. Perry emphasized his contributions to AEW and expressed his dissatisfaction with having to associate himself with a second-generation wrestler like HOOK, especially considering that the FTW Title was not officially recognized. According to Perry, their team's popularity was solely due to his presence, and he acknowledged the significance of the FTW Title to HOOK and his family. As a result, Perry declared his intention to take the title away from HOOK. Before he could deliver his concluding statement, HOOK's music hit, prompting him to sprint to the ring and initiate a chase. Perry quickly retreated through the crowd and made his way to the back. Taz expressed his eagerness to witness Perry's impending defeat. A backstage camera captured Perry diving into a waiting car and speeding away, while HOOK watched him depart. ##
In a picture-in-picture segment, Sammy Guevara re-introduced his cue cards, primarily focusing on discussing the upcoming main event. ##
Ruby Soho (w/Saraya & Toni Storm) Vs Alexia Nicole ##
Soho swiftly executed a dominant sweep, taunting Britt Baker before launching a brutal assault on Nicole. Hurling Nicole to the unforgiving floor, she was met with a barrage of punishing boots courtesy of Storm. Returning to the ring, Soho unleashed a snap back suplex with precision. Seizing the opportunity, Soho seized the rubber glove from referee Paul Turner and applied the infamous Lock Jaw submission, forcing her opponent into a swift and effortless submission. ##
WINNER: Ruby Soho (w/Saraya & Toni Storm) ##
After the match, Saraya held Nicole firmly while Soho added insult to injury by spray painting an L on her. In a scathing post-match interview, Soho took aim at Canada, stating that the originally scheduled opponent, Britt Baker, was unable to compete due to illness caused by the "filthy, germ-ridden country." Mocking Baker and her partner Adam Cole, Soho expressed her hope that they never have children, as they would be weak and undeserving. ##
Soho continued to assert her dominance, reminding everyone that Baker had once claimed Soho didn't know who she was. Now, Soho confidently declared her love for who she has become, while asserting that Baker is merely a shadow of her former self. Reflecting on their previous encounter, Soho highlighted that Baker had barely managed to defeat her on her best day, but since then, The Outcasts had stripped Baker of everything. ##
Switching gears, highlights were shown of Harley Cameron's unsuccessful attempt to flirt with Anthony Bowens on the previous episode of Rampage, which ended with Bowens revealing that he is gay. In a backstage segment, QT Marshall, Johnny TV, and Cameron issued a challenge to Matt Hardy and Brother Zay for a match on Rampage. Cameron mimicked Zay's signature moan, causing confusion for Johnny and QT but amusing Taz on commentary. ##
During Excalibur's rundown of upcoming matches for AEW TV, it was revealed that Swerve Strickland and Keith Lee would face Darby Allin and Orange Cassidy in a Blind Eliminator Tournament match next week. While it was expected that all the teams for the tournament would be announced, MJF and Adam Cole were the only other team mentioned apart from the aforementioned ones. ##
Sting & Darby Allin Vs “The Painmaker” Chris Jericho & Sammy Guevara in a Tornado Tag Match ##
The action was intense as Allin wasted no time, delivering a shotgun dropkick to Guevara. Meanwhile, Jericho struck Sting's arm with his trusty Floyd the bat, sparking a bat-wielding showdown between Sting and Jericho. Allin entered the fray, sprinting into the mix. Sting followed up with a powerful Stinger Splash, but Guevara quickly countered with a top rope cutter that took out Allin. ##
Guevara and Jericho seized the opportunity and unleashed a relentless assault on Sting. Guevara introduced a ladder into the ring, while Allin, despite being launched into the ring steps, displayed incredible agility by flipping up and over them, landing in the front row of the audience. During the commercial break, the four competitors continued their brawl amidst the crowd. Jericho tore apart a Sting sign and forcefully shoved it into Sting's mouth, adding insult to injury. ##
Guevara executed a spectacular leaping cutter from the barricade to the ringside floor, targeting Allin. As Guevara attended to Jericho and Sting, Allin capitalized by delivering a breathtaking Coffin Drop, taking out Guevara. Sting and Allin joined forces, setting up multiple tables and positioning the ladder, albeit at a considerable distance. Allin began to climb, but Sting insisted on taking the risk himself. Sting courageously leapt from the ladder, crashing onto Guevara through one of the tables, taking the impact sternum first in a daring moment. ##
Allin showcased his high-risk style by diving onto Jericho from the opposite side and then reentering the ring, dropping in with a skateboard-assisted move from the top onto Jericho's back. However, Jericho countered Allin's next move, causing Allin to crash face-first into the ladder. Jericho capitalized by dropping the ladder onto Allin's spine. In a reversal, Allin sent Jericho face-first into the ladder, resulting in Jericho getting busted open. ##
Allin attempted a Coffin Splash, but Jericho thwarted him by striking his back with the skateboard. Jericho followed up with a devastating Judas Effect, sending Allin crashing to the floor. Just when it seemed like Sting was out of the picture, he rose from the "dead" and attempted a Scorpion Death Drop on Jericho. However, Jericho countered into the Walls of Jericho submission hold. Sting, crawling towards the bat, unleashed a powerful strike to Jericho's head, leveling him. Sting delivered a thunderous Stinger Splash, but as he went for another, Jericho responded with a Code Breaker, securing a near fall. ##
Undeterred, Sting dodged a Judas Effect and turned it into a Scorpion Death Drop, coming close to victory. Jericho attempted a dropkick, but Sting caught him and locked him into the Scorpion Death Lock, forcing Jericho to submit. ##
