Welcome to Ringside News’ live results coverage for the last AEW Dynamite of 2019.
Tonight’s show will be headlined by the non-title match between Chris Jericho and Jungle Boy. This should be a fun match that gets Jungle Boy over in a big way, but I’d be shocked at anything other than a Judas Effect ending.
The other big match tonight is the AEW Tag Team Championship bout between The Young Bucks and SCU. This match has barn-burner written all over it but, fingers crossed, we see some story developments rather than just swap the belts for no reason.
Cody will get a chance at redemption tonight against The Blade and The Butcher, but this time his partner will be Darby Allin. This program is kinda boring and just a stop-gap to bide the time until February when Cody faces MJF. That said, the match last week was good, so I’d expect the same here.
The rest of tonight’s Dynamite will include Britt Baker Vs. Kris Statlander, and Kenny Omega & Adam Page Vs. The Lucha Bros. So it’s a match heavy episode of Dynamite to get us through the end of the year. Follow along on Ringside News’ free app, and on our Twitter and Instagram. Enjoy the show!
AEW Dynamite
The final Dynamite of 2019 opens with The Lucha Bros coming to their ring, followed by their opponents.
Kenny Omega & “Hangman” Adam Page Vs. The Lucha Bros

Again Kenny looks for the One-Winged Angel but Fenix gets out and leaps to tag Pentagon Jr.
Hangman tags in as well and comes face-to-face with Pentagon, with the fans split chanting for both. Pentagon takes off the glove and throws it, does the zero fear taunt slower than ever, then shoves Hangman. Page takes off an invisible glove, then shouts “cowboy $hit” and shoves him back. Pentagon chops the chest of Page, then they fire back and forth until Page forearms him. Whip from Page but Pentagon delivers a swift kick. Page retaliates with a big kick of his own and tags Omega.
Omega chops Pentagon, then Page swings for a chop but Jr. ducks it. He does the no fear taunt again and gets chopped by both Kenny and Page.

Back in the ring, Page tags in and forearms Pentagon, who grabs him for the double underhook piledriver but Page escapes. Page is sent to the apron and held by Fenix as Pentagon superkicks him. Page is put back in the ring and hit with a facebreaker/double stomp combo for a near-fall thanks to Omega making the save. Pentagon hits a lariat to Page in the corner, but Adam bounces right back out with a lariat of his own.

Omega gets Pentagon on his shoulders for a rolling fireman’s carry, then looks for a springboard moonsault but eats the knees. Fenix pulls Page from the apron, then gets in the ring to double-team Omega. They get Kenny from the ring and hit a suicide dive, followed by a double stomp in the ring by Pentagon for a near-fall.

After the match, Page and Kenny argue in the ring about whose fault that was. Page gets in Kenny’s face and Omega shoves him.
The camera cuts backstage to PAC, who addresses Kenny Omega and says he’s still waiting for an answer to his challenge. He says it’s time to remind Kenny who he is, and what he’s capable of. PAC walks off and finds Michael Nakazawa in a locker room. Nakazawa is sitting in a chair with his back turned and PAC shooshes the camera and walks off. Omega runs through the crowd to the back to find his friend.
*Commercial Break*
As usual, AEW does most of it’s actual story-telling in silent, split-screen during commercials. Kenny runs into the locker room and Nakazawa is gone. He’s then attacked by The Lucha Bros and Hangman Page runs them off.

We see a sit-down interview from earlier today with Jungle Boy and Jim Ross. Jungle Boy says he thinks of Jericho as two people: the man and the legend. He says the man doesn’t scare him, but he respects the legend. Jungle Boy says he knows of the pressure of the situation and pressure makes stars. Ross asks how Jungle Boy’s father, Luke Perry, would feel about all this. Jungle Boy says he thinks he would be proud; they used to sit and talk about the possibilities, and for him to be here, facing Chris Jericho and talking to Jim Ross, he thinks he would be proud.
