AEW DYNAMITE RESULTS AND LIVE BLOG FOR FEB. 24
My frame works in constant confusion, I can’t peel away the flowers of this psychic disturbance and our riotous defects, but I can liveblog this here pro wrestling show for you, folks.
The show opens into the intro video.
Ryan Nemeth gets a promo where he says he’s coming for the starring role tonight.
Jon Moxley vs. Ryan Nemeth
Moxley blocks the big DDT, a little back and forth and he slaps Nemeth down! Ryan gets some facelock knees off, runs the ropes, Jon catches him with a back suplex! Stomping away, wishboning the fingers in the corner, Ryan with a boot up, forearms, whip reversed, up and over, shoulder thrust in the corner. Running, Mox catches him with a corner lariat but eats a dropkick right on the button!
Block the neckbreaker, full nelson as a transition, Moxley grabs a guillotine briefly...
Jon Moxley wins by pinfall with the Paradigm Shift.
Post-match, Mox cuts a promo about how he’s never stopped thinking about regaining his title and he’ll do whatever it takes against Kenny Omega in their exploding barbed wire deathmatch. He does some word association and asks how the images make you feel, and admits that he’s addicted to being in the ring, living close to the flame, to the feeling of coming out here with all the blood, sweat, and tears and laying his soul bare every night.
He tells Kenny he’s just the latest in a long, sad line of guys that have tried to kick him out, and win, lose, or draw, talks about everybody watching, everybody who’s stuck by him through everything, and says if it comes to an end at Revolution, that’s a perfect way to go out.
We get a video package detailing the history between Omega and Moxley.
Lance Archer and Rey Fenix are interviewed last weak about their qualifying match for the Face of the Revolution ladder match at Revolution.
Archer says iron sharpens iron and there’s a reason they make a great team, but he’s gonna kick Fenix’s ass. Fenix responds in Spanish and the interviewer translates, saying he’s the worst partner Rey has ever had. This gets them brawling, Fenix using his speed to dodge Lance and send him crashing into some stuff scattered around the room.
Commentary hypes up the rest of the show and we go to break.
Back from commercial, we get a recap of the Inner Circle getting into it with the Young Bucks’ dad last week and footage of their mom taking a picture with the three of them in front of a truck with their picture on it.

Tony Schiavone is handed a note and it’s a elementary school “do you like me” note but from Best Friends asking for a tag team match at Revolution. Miro tells him to stop acting like a child and be a man before eating the note and then spitting it at Tony.
Brandon Cutler vs. Jake Hager
Cutler in with a right hand, using his speed to duck and dodge and land strikes but Hager hosses him out of the corner and throws him into the ropes.

Matt Jackson gets on the mic and calls Chris Jericho and Maxwell Jacob Friedman out, saying they don’t have to wait until Revolution and why don’t they get their stupid asses out here right now!
Judas plays but Jericho and MJF appear on the tron instead of making his entrance. He asks why waste time when they’re just gonna beat ass at Revolution before saying they found somebody wandering around... AND Y2J PULLS A BLOODIED PAPA BUCK UP AND SMASHES HIS FACE INTO THE TRUCK FROM EARLIER! Friedman gets his licks in as well and Chris tells them to call a doctor or come pick up their trash.

We go to a workshop somewhere where Alex Marvez wants to interview Kenny Omega, who’s hammering something. Don Callis rolls up and says they’re working on something they call the Moxley Elimination Chamber. Omega says he’s building it himself so he can take all the credit when he runs Mox off.
