Fresh off the heels of AEW Dynasty, Dynamite took place tonight in the good ole’ Daily’s Place. Did things go smoothly coming out of the fallout of Dynasty? Let’s find out.
We start off the night, with Thunder Rosa being interviewed backstage after her loss against “Timeless” Toni Storm this past Dynasty. Renee Paquette mentions that it’s been two years since she’s held the title, and asks her what went wrong. She’s honest and says Deonna Purazzo shouldn’t have gotten involved, prompting Purazzo to come in and confront her.
The two are now scheduled to face off this Saturday, on Rampage.
Next in women’s action, Mina Shirakawa arrives to make her AEW Dynamite in-ring debut along with her forever Rose Gold partner, Mariah May, by her side. She goes on to face Anna Jay, who has some business to take care of from two weeks ago. Shirakawa gets a strong start against Jay, but Jay manages to get in some dirty moves within her arsenal.
Shirakawa manages to clutch in a rollup for the win, and May comes to celebrate with more champagne. Jay is not in the mood, and just like a few weeks ago breaks their party up. She tries to take out May with a chokehold, but gets saved by none other than the “Timeless” one herself. Having been saved from the clutches of Jay, in comes a surprise as we see Serena Deeb pop up on the scene. Deeb touches the AEW Women’s World Championship and promises next time she touches that belt, it’s all hers.
Storm and Jay are now scheduled to face each other this Saturday, at Collision.
Speaking of celebrations, Kris Statlander and Stokely Hathaway are standing in the ring to welcome the new TBS Champion, Willow Nightingale.
Nightingale talks about her beginnings within the Daily’s Palace and touts herself as the new “face of TBS” after coming such a long way.
But of course, it’s not a wrestling celebration if someone doesn’t crash the party, as the “CEO” Mercedes Moné arrives fashionably late. Nightingale says that if Moné has something to say, this is the very moment for her to do so. Moné says she wants to celebrate, but all she’s really here for is to get down to business on who attacked her. Despite the bickering about who it could be, Nightingale feels like Moné just has a personal vendetta against her regardless.
Moné says Nightingale doesn’t want the truth, and that she just wants to make herself feel better about almost costing Moné’s career. Nightingale genuinely feels sorry for what happened, but come Double or Nothing the TBS Champion wants to prove that she can beat Moné at her 100%. Moné doesn’t believe she can beat her at her best and walks away. Statlander tries to grab Moné to talk, but the “CEO” ends up slapping Nightingale across the face.
What did you think of tonight’s AEW Dynamite? Will we see Deeb get her chance at Storm? Can Nightingale prove she can beat Moné again? Let us know in the comments below!
