AEW Dynamite Results (10/30/2024):

The show opens up with a “Fright Night” video package. We then get a video of AEW World Champion Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta exiting the building after taking out Chuck Taylor last week.

The Conglomeration’s “Freshly Squeezed” Orange Cassidy then makes his way down to the ring with no entrance music to address the AEW fans as Excalibur, Tony Schiavone and “Daddy Magic” Matt Menard welcomes us to the show.

Orange Cassidy starts off by saying he doesn’t do this or like this, but after last week he slid into the ring when he saw Chuck Taylor laid out in the ring. Cassidy then says Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, PAC, Wheeler Yuta and Marina Shafir are dangerous. Cassidy then says Moxley doesn’t need AEW or never needed it, but he needs AEW. Cassidy then says he knows what he needs to do to stop Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, PAC, Wheeler Yuta and Marina Shafir and that is to cut the head off the snake in order to make sure no one else gets hurt. Cassidy then challenges Moxley to a match for the AEW World Championship to take it out of his bag and into his backpack. Cassidy then tells Moxley to come and find him and says he’s not hard to find as he’s in the ring every week. Cassidy then says he is the next AEW World Champion and he still doesn’t need a catchphrase. Cassidy then drops the mic and exits the ring.

We then see AEW TBS Champion Mercedes Moné and Kamille walking backstage when Renee Paquette approaches them and asks Moné for a prediction on Kamille’s match with Kris Statlander. Moné says she hates terrible questions. Moné then puts over Statlander as a powerhouse, but says she doesn’t hold a candle to Kamille. Paquette then wishes Kamille luck. Moné then says you don’t need luck when you’re with The CEO.

Adam Cole then makes his way down to the ring for the first match of the night and Buddy Matthews follows.

Singles Match: The Undisputed Kingdom’s Adam Cole vs. House Of Black’s Buddy Matthews

The match starts off with both men shaking hands with each other. Both men then lock up and go back and forth, but Matthews nails Cole with a shoulder tackle. Cole then gets knocked to the outside and takes a moment to recover as we see Kyle O’Reilly watching the action from backstage. Matthews then nails Cole with a kick on his chest off the apron. Matthews then hits a superplex on Cole off the top. Cole then responds with a shoulder-breaker on Matthews and both men exchange forearms with one another on the apron. Cole then hits a DDT on Matthews on the apron, but Matthews continues wearing down Cole’s injured ankle in the ring and stomps on it on the ring steps. A medical official then helps Cole to the back after he deems him too unfit to compete, but Matthews calls him out and Cole gets back in the ring. Both men then continue to brawl and Cole hits a series of superkicks on Matthews. Matthews then responds with a Curb Stomp and pins Cole, but Cole kicks out and hits another superkick on Matthews. Cole then follows it up with a thrust kick on Matthews’ midsection and a Shining Wizard, then goes for a pin but Matthews kicks out. Matthews then powerbombs Cole into the corner and hits him with a Curb Stomp, then goes for a pin. Cole quickly kicks out as we see MJF watching the action on a television elsewhere, then Cole hits the Panama Sunrise on Matthews and follows it up with a second one off the apron and on the outside. Cole then gets Matthews back in the ring and hits a second Shining Wizard for the win.

The winner of the Singles Match, The Undisputed Kingdom’s Adam Cole!

After the match, Cole grabs a mic and says he appreciates Matthews pushing him to finish the match. Cole then offers his hand to Matthews and Matthews goes to shake it. The lights then go out and when they come back on, it’s Malakai Black who’s shaking Cole’s hand instead as Matthews stands next to the two of them. Cole then exits the ring and was helped by the trainer as they walk past the grave set on the stage and through the tunnel to the back.

We then head to the back, where Renee Paquette is interviewing Christopher Daniels and Private Party (Zay and Quen). Daniels says he and Frankie Kazarian were in a match with a similar stipulation to the one Private Party will have later. Daniels then says he lost the match and his relationship with Kazarian hasn’t been the same since. Both Private Party members then express their confidence that they will win.

Adam Cole then cuts a promo while Roderick Strong, Matt Taven and Mike Bennett are standing behind him in his locker room. Cole says his ankle isn’t what it once was. Cole then says he doesn’t blame MJF for that. Cole then says he doesn’t blame MJF for being a bad friend and for never checking up on him. Cole then says he blames MJF for pretending that they will work. Cole then says guys like him and MJF are meant to be enemies. Cole then says MJF would have betrayed him the first chance he got. Cole then points to what MJF did to Wardlow, Sammy Guevara and Daniel Garcia. Cole then says MJF needed to be taught a hard lesson. Cole then says what they did to MJF was extreme, but it needed to happen. Cole then says he cares about AEW and its fans and MJF has never been part of the team and never will be. Cole then says he will get his hands on MJF at Full Gear and will be happy to teach him another lesson. Cole then says it is one down and two to go. Commentary then points out that Roderick Strong has the same three-match challenge.

Kyle Fletcher and Don Callis then make their way out to address the AEW fans. Don Callis starts off by saying Fletcher has something important to say and Fletcher says he wants to keep to his word. Fletcher then calls Will Ospreay out to the ring, but Ospreay’s music doesn’t hit. The United Empire’s music hits instead and Mark Davis makes his way out. Fletcher says it’s nice to see Davis again and Davis tells Fletcher that while he wishes that he could look him in the eye and say the same thing, he can’t after what Fletcher did to Ospreay. Fletcher then says all that’s happened since Davis has been sidelined with an injury is that he had his eyes opened. Fletcher then tells Davis that he made sure that there would be a spot for him in The Don Callis Family upon his return. Davis then says that they had an Empire and looks to walk to the back, but Fletcher warns Davis and tells him that he’s seen what he does to people who don’t listen to him.

Excalibur then hypes Kyle Fletcher vs. The Beast Mortos for AEW Collision.

We then head to the back, where Renee Paquette is speaking with Hangman Page about facing Jay White at Full Gear. Page recalls knocking Jay White out of the Owen Hart Cup tournament. Page also takes credit for injuring White when he missed time. Page then says there is no such thing as redemption. Page then says there are only wins and losses and the consequences will follow. Page then says he knows what White’s strategy will be, but White doesn’t know what his will be. Page then talks about strangling White’s friends in front of him or possibly burning down his home. Page then says he will leave White hurt with less than he had before. Page then says, “Jay White, I will leave you behind.”

AEW World Champion Jon Moxley, Marina Shafir, Wheeler Yuta, PAC and Claudio Castagnoli are then shown exiting a backstage room.

AEW World Champion Jon Moxley, Marina Shafir, Wheeler Yuta, PAC and Claudio Castagnoli then make their way down to the ring. Jon Moxley starts off by saying fans will one day understand what he, Yuta, Castagnoli, Shafir and PAC are trying to accomplish. Moxley then addresses Orange Cassidy and says while Cassidy thinks that he challenged him to an AEW World Championship match, but in reality, he challenged him last week when he took out Chuck Taylor. Moxley then says Cassidy didn’t want to step up and lead like the Cassidy he knows and respects. Moxley then says when the time comes, Cassidy will fight him in a valley and it will be one that he’s willing to die in. Moxley then says Cassidy thinks that he’s focused, but in reality, he’s become distracted. PAC and Shafir then blindside Yuta in place as Castagnoli places a chair around his neck. Cassidy then makes his way down to the ring to save his former ally, but Castagnoli and PAC attack him as Shafir checks on Yuta after attacking him as part of their trap. Dark Order then make their way down to even the odds, but Moxley, Castagnoli and PAC overpower them. PAC and Castagnoli then place a chair around Cassidy’s neck, but Darby Allin makes his way down from the rafters and begins brawling with Castagnoli.
