AEW Dynamite Results (6/5/2024):

The show opens up with MJF making his way down to the ring as Excalibur, Taz and Tony Schiavone welcome us.

MJF starts off by saying he is back and he puts over his new t-shirt, then says he is in the ring to put everyone on notice. MJF then says as he was sitting at home nursing up his injuries, he was watching a bunch of children making bold claims such as Kazuchika Okada and Swerve Strickland. MJF then takes shots at both of them, then says he took offense to Strickland calling himself a business mogul as he never went to business school. MJF then says the most egregious of the claims was Will Ospreay saying he was the best in the world and the last time he checked, he wasn’t Chris Jericho, Jon Moxley, Cody Rhodes, Samoa Joe, Kenny Omega and Hiroshi Tanahashi among others. MJF then says he has been able to beat all of those names and the next time Ospreay wants to come on his show and lie through his teeth, he should watch his tone and check his mouth.

MJF then says he’s the best in the world and in five short years, he became the face of AEW. MJF then says he’s created some of the most memorable moments and matches in the history of professional wrestling and he became the most hated man in wrestling only to become the most beloved. MJF then says people are trying to smear his name and revise his history and legacy. RUSH’s music then hits and he makes his way down to the ring. RUSH says much like all the other stupid and filthy Americans in the building, MJF never shuts up. RUSH then says while MJF was gone, he was working hard wrestling. RUSH then says MJF gets a big celebration for coming back, then asks where his celebration and big moment is. RUSH then says he’s going to take MJF’s moment and spot because when you mess with the bull, you get the horns.

MJF then says it was rough when Tony Khan was in charge, but things have only gotten worse now that The Elite is running things. MJF then asks fans if they can hear RUSH and RUSH looks to repeat himself, but MJF cuts him off and tells him no one cares what he has to say. MJF then says he knows how talented RUSH is having one paid him to take out Bryan Danielson and he lists off a few of RUSH’s accomplishments. MJF then says while RUSH has overcome some of the best, he isn’t one of the best but the best. MJF then tells RUSH that he’s better than him and he knows it. MJF and RUSH then begin brawling in the ring, but security, referees and Christopher Daniels run down to the ring to separate the two men.

A video package is then shown of Roderick Strong training ahead of tonight’s main event for the AEW World Title.

We then get the entrances of the first match of the night, which is an AEW International Championship #1 Contender’s 4-Way Match.

Cassidy then looks to hit a Tornado DDT on Lethal, but Lethal counters it into a Figure Four Leg Lock. Fenix then looks to break the hold, but Lethal sees him coming. O’Reilly then puts Fenix in a Sleeper, but Lethal relinquishes the hold on Cassidy to break the hold O’Reilly has cinched in. O’Reilly then puts Lethal in a submission, but Cassidy and Fenix break things up. Fenix then sends Lethal out of the ring, but Cassidy nails Fenix with a Tornado DDT. Cassidy then hits the Orange Punch on O’Reilly, but Lethal sends Cassidy onto the apron.

After the match, Trent Beretta and Don Callis makes their way down to the ring and Beretta grabs a chair. Cassidy then grabs a chain from under the ring and wraps it around his fist, then gets inside the ring to join Beretta and Callis. Kris Statlander then slides in the ring and inserts herself in between Beretta and Cassidy as Stokely Hathaway makes his way down to the ring. Statlander then slaps Cassidy, but Willow Nightingale’s music hits. Nightingale makes her way down to the ring and Statlander retreats.

We then head to the back, where we see FTW Champion “The Learning Tree” Chris Jericho, Big Bill and Bryan Keith pull up to the Blue Arena as Jericho gives his driver and the cameraman advice about how to do their jobs. Jericho then takes the camera from the cameraman to properly frame Bill and Keith and waves to everyone backstage.

Renee Paquette is now backstage with Willow Nightingale. Nightingale says she accepts that she lost at Double or Nothing and congratulates Mercedes Moné on her win. Nightingale then says she did have Moné pinned, so there’s unfinished business down the line. Nightingale then says Statlander betrayed her friendship while she was at her lowest. Nightingale then says the smile is her strength, but after being stabbed in the back, you don’t know how dangerous that could be. Orange Cassidy then walks in and gives Nightingale a little fist bump before walking off.

Christopher Daniels then makes his way out and announces that on June 30th at Forbidden Door, they will crown a new TNT Champion in a Ladder Match. Daniels then says another qualifying match for the Ladder Match will take place right now.

We then get the entrances of the next match, which is a TNT Championship Ladder Match Qualifier.

TNT Championship Ladder Match Qualifier: Mark Briscoe vs. “The Machine” Brian Cage

The match starts off with Cage hitting a shoulder tackle on Briscoe. Cage then delivers some clotheslines on Briscoe in the corner, but Briscoe sends Cage crashing out of the ring and hits a dropkick on him through the middle rope. Briscoe then tosses a chair into the ring, but the referee disposes of it and Briscoe begins arguing with him. Cage then nails Briscoe with a clothesline on the outside, then delivers some stomps on him and sends him crashing into the barricade. Cage then sends Briscoe crashing off the ring apron face first and suplexes him into the ring from the apron before he flexes his biceps.

Briscoe then delivers a series of forearms on Cage and follows it up with more strikes. We then see Konosuke Takeshita and Don Callis watching the action from the crowd as Briscoe goes for a pin on Cage. Cage then kicks out and Briscoe sends him crashing to the outside. Briscoe then follows him out there and grabs a chair from under the ring. Briscoe then slides one chair inside and sets up a second one. As the referee disposes of the first one, Briscoe uses the second one as a launching pad to fly over the top rope. Briscoe then climbs to the top and hits a missile dropkick from the top on Cage as we see Jack Perry watch the action from backstage. Cage then sends Briscoe crashing into the mat and goes for a pin, but Briscoe kicks out.

Cage then hits a dropkick on Briscoe, but Briscoe responds with a single leg dropkick on Cage. Briscoe then hits a Death Valley Driver on Cage and climbs to the top rope. Briscoe then hits the Froggy Bow for the win.

The winner of the TNT Championship Ladder Match Qualifier, Mark Briscoe!

Renee Paquette is now backstage with HOOK and Samoa Joe, who says he wouldn’t call this a mentorship. HOOK and Joe are then interrupted by Tony Nese, Ari Daivari and “Smart” Mark Sterling. Nese then talks trash and Joe has to hold HOOK back, saying they’ll handle it on their time.

FTW Champion “The Learning Tree” Chris Jericho is then show approaching “Daddy Magic” Matt Menard and “Cool Hand” Angelo Parker backstage. Jericho loudly congratulates Menard for taking over commentary on Rampage and Parker for his recent marriage and upcoming baby. “The Bounty Hunter” Bryan Keith then tells Parker to make sure his child respects Chris Jericho.

The Acclaimed (Anthony Bowens and Max Caster) and “Daddy Ass” Billy Gunn then make their entrance and Max Caster calls The Young Bucks the Extremely Vague Perverts. The Acclaimed and Daddy Ass are then cut off by Matthew Jackson and Nicholas Jackson on the big screen, asking if they read the employee handbook. The Young Bucks then says they can’t insult the EVPs and cut the segment. Matthew then tells them to clear the area as The Acclaimed and Daddy Ass just slouch and walk to the back.

Renee Paquette is then joined by AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland. Strickland welcomes back the little b***h MJF and says he will deal with MJF later. Strickland then has an envelope with the contract to the Forbidden Door World Title Match and tells Prince Nana to send this to Will Ospreay in London and he will pay for shipping. Strickland then says he is going to knock Roderick Strong off the mountain tonight. Strickland then brings up The Elite winning Anarchy in the Arena and says the next time there’s a Team AEW, you don’t forget the AEW World Champion.

We then see The Acclaimed (Anthony Bowens and Max Caster) and “Daddy Ass” Billy Gunn trying to barge into The Elite’s locker room, but were held back by Elite security.

We then see The Young Bucks meet with The Patriarchy.

Danielson then says 8 months ago he said this was his final year as a full-time wrestler and to be honest, it hasn’t been what he wanted. Danielson then says he lost to Christian Cage, lost in the Finals of the Continental Class and lost to Okada in the Tokyo Dome. Danielson then says every big match he loses is like the straw that broke the camel’s back as is losing Anarchy in the Arena. Danielson then says his career isn’t over yet, so when Tony Khan announced the Owen Hart Tournament winner gets an AEW World Title shot at All In, this could be his last shot and if he’s going out, he’s going out on top.
