AEW Dynamite Results (6/26/2024):

The show opens up with MJF making his way down to the ring as we are welcomed by Excalibur, Tony Schiavone and Taz. Justin Roberts then introduced MJF, who had a mic in his hand.

MJF looks to speak, but before he can, Daniel Garcia’s music hits and Garcia makes his way down to the ring. MJF says he is glad Buffalo loves Garcia, but warns him to tread lightly. Garcia then thanks MJF for saving him from a post-match beatdown last week and says since AEW is in Buffalo, everything is his business. Garcia then says he assumes MJF is here to say something bad about Buffalo, him and his family in the crowd, but before MJF does, he wants to do something no one in the back has done and that is to say nice things about MJF. Garcia then recalls watching MJF’s reign as AEW World Champion when he was in the back not doing very much and recalls MJF giving some advice to him that inspired him.

Garcia then says MJF saw him as a pillar of AEW and got him a shot at his then-title. Garcia then says challenging MJF for the AEW World Championship was one of the most embarrassing moments of his life, but it led him to the run of a lifetime and gave him immense motivation. Garcia then says he’s now someone fans can believe in, then asks why settle for being a pillar when he can be a backbone instead. Garcia then thanks MJF for everything he did for him and warns him to be careful about what he says next unless he wants Buffalo to come after him. MJF then says he’s in the ring for two reasons, the first is to promote Forbidden Door and an upcoming episode of AEW Collision and call Garcia out to ask him a question. MJF then says before he asks Garcia what he wants to ask him, he wants to thank him. MJF and Garcia then shake hands before MJF says no one ever talks about the nice things he does behind the scenes. MJF then says everyone in the back is jealous of him and wants his spot, but Garcia is one step closer to actually taking his spot. MJF then tells Garcia he earned his AEW World Championship Match against him, then says Garcia reminds him of himself. MJF then says while he retained his title over Garcia and beat him down bad, Garcia has only gotten better since then. MJF then says Garcia is the grind, then presents him with the opportunity to face him at AEW All In.

Before Garcia can answer, Will Ospreay’s music hits and he makes his way down to the ring. Ospreay voices his appreciation for Garcia and says he loves the way Garcia has been working his way up the ranks. Ospreay then grants Garcia a shot at the AEW International Championship next week, then the AEW World Championship next. Garcia then accepts Ospreay’s challenge and the two shake hands. Ospreay then stares MJF down in the corner and leaves the ring. Garcia then looks to answer MJF’s challenge, but MJF tells him he needs to focus on his match next week before he answers his challenge. MJF then storms to the back.

AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland and Prince Nana were then shown watching on a monitor backstage. Swerve says Ospreay was putting the cart before the horse by offering Garcia an AEW World Championship Match. Swerve then says Ospreay seems to have a focus problem. After Swerve leaves, Nana looks into the camera and asks, “Whose house?”

We then get the entrances of the first match of the night, which is a Trios Match.

Trios Match: Blackpool Combat Club (IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Jon Moxley, ROH Pure Champion Wheeler Yuta and Claudio Castagnoli) vs. NJPW’s Los Ingobernables de Japón (Shingo Takagi, Hiromu Takahashi and Titán)

Takahashi then follows it up with a dropkick, then tags Takagi back in. Takagi and Takahashi then hit a double shoulder tackle on Yuta, then tag in Titán. Titán then climbs to the top and hits a crossbody on Yuta, then flies through the ropes to land on Yuta on the outside and pins him back in the ring. Yuta then kicks out and hits an enzuigiri on Titán. Castagnoli then sends Takahashi out of the ring and sends him crashing into the barricade. Titán then trips Castagnoli, then hits a senton on him. Moxley then tags in and Titán hits a chop on him. Titán then follows it up with a back kick and tags in Takagi. Takagi then delivers some forearms on Moxley, but Castagnoli rakes his back. Takagi then hits a splash on Moxley in the corner, then follows it up with a double DDT on Moxley and Castagnoli and a brainbuster on Yuta. Moxley and Takagi then deliver some right hands on each other before they nail one another. Takagi then hits a series of strikes on Moxley, but Yuta and Takahashi tag in and deliver some forearms on one another. Takahashi then hits a superkick on Yuta, but Yuta responds with a German suplex. Takahashi then hits a Fireman’s Carry and a clothesline, then sets up for his finisher. Moxley then grabs a chair and hits it across Takahashi’s spine and the referee calls for the bell.

The winners of the Trios Match via disqualification, NJPW’s Los Ingobernables de Japón (Shingo Takagi, Hiromu Takahashi and Titán)!

After the match, Blackpool Combat Club and Los Ingobernables de Japón continue to brawl. Tetsuya Naito’s music then hits and he makes his way down to the ring, but Moxley meets him on the ramp and the two brawl to the back ahead of their Forbidden Door Match for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. Takagi then brawls with Yuta and he delivers some Hammer and Anvil elbows on Yuta, but Danielson slides into the ring to provide Yuta with a helping hand. Danielson and Takagi then stare each other down.

Owen Hart Foundation Men’s Tournament Quarterfinals Match: Unified World Trios Champion The Bang Bang Gang’s “Switchblade” Jay White vs. The Lucha Brothers’ Rey Fenix

Before the match officially begins, Rey Fenix, Jay White and their respective teammates get into each other’s faces. Due to this, the referee ejects everyone not competing in the match from ringside.

We then head to the back, where AEW World Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks talk about The Acclaimed after they defeated them in an AEW World Tag Team Championship Eliminator Match last week. Matthew and Nicholas Jackson assure that The Elite will all be champions after Forbidden Door when Jack Perry wins the TNT Championship. Matthew then declares that The Elite will be entering a wild card into the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament.

The Acclaimed (Anthony Bowens and Max Caster) and “Daddy Ass” Billy Gunn then made their way down to the ring to address the AEW fans.

Max Caster starts off by saying The Acclaimed beat The Young Bucks last week to earn a future AEW World Tag Team Championship Match. Caster then says they exposed The Bucks for who they really are and they can’t run AEW programming right. Anthony Bowens then says all The Acclaimed has to do is beat The Bucks one more time and tells Nicholas Jackson not to make excuses. Bowens then says when The Acclaimed decide to cash-in their title shot, fans will be looking at the new two-time AEW World Tag Team Champions. The Acclaimed and Billy Gunn then look to scissor, but before they can, The Elite appear on the ramp. Kazuchika Okada mocks The Acclaimed and Billy Gunn before Nicolas issues a challenge for a Trios Match at Forbidden Door. Billy then grabs a mic and says he knows how to deal with EVPs and he happens to know people in high places including a president. A video from Hiroshi Tanahashi then begins playing on the big screen and he tells The Elite he’s coming to fight them at Forbidden Door.

We then head to the back, where Renee Paquette is interviewing Orange Cassidy, Mark Briscoe and Kyle O’Reilly. Cassidy says they go by The Conglomeration. Briscoe then started to cut a promo. O’Reilly then cuts his own Briscoe style promo and asks if it was working. Briscoe then says he loved it, then told O’Reilly maybe to work in some of his hand gestures. Briscoe then went back to cutting his promo.

We then get a video package hyping Mercedes Moné vs. Stephanie Vaquer. We then get video footage of Moné’s surprise appearance in Arena Mexico last Friday. Moné says that she wasn’t afraid to kick the Forbidden Door down and get the title that was meant for her. Vaquer was then offended at Moné’s arrogance and says that she will become a double champion at Forbidden Door. We then cut to Mercedes Moné in the back. Moné says she went to Mexico to see Vaquer defend her title, but Vaquer was nowhere to be found tonight. Moné then says she heard Vaquer had a match on Collision against Lady Frost and she will make her way to Collision to see it first-hand.

FTW Champion “The Learning Tree” Chris Jericho, Big Bill and “The Bounty Hunter” Bryan Keith then make their way down to the ring to address the AEW fans.

Samoa Joe’s music then hits and he makes his way down to the ring along with HOOK and Katsuyori Shibata. Joe says Jericho came to Buffalo looking for a savior, but The Learning Tree doesn’t have enough branches.
