AEW Dynamite Results - April 15, 2020

This week’s show kicks off with an epic Jake “The Snake” Roberts promo putting over The Murderhawk Monster Lance Archer better than anyone else in the business could.

TNT Championship Tournament Quarterfinals
Colt Cabana vs. Lance Archer

Archer begins his entrance and attacks a random person on his way to the ring. He enters the ring and immediately knocks Cabana off his feet. The bell sounds to make this one official and as Jericho sings the praises of Archer while Cabana mixes in some comedy, a move Jericho mentions not being overly wise on commentary.

The action spills to the floor where Archer regroups as Cabana gets in some offense. We see Archer completely take over the offense when he re-enters the ring. We see a shot of Jake Roberts watching on in approval. Cabana tries firing up on offense, however Archer no-sells it and continues his beat down. The smattering of people serving as the audience for tonight begin chanting “Let’s go Colt!” which angers Archer.

It’s all Archer now as Jericho continues to sing his praises and he continues to dominate the action. We head to a mid-match commercial.

We return from the break and Archer is still dominating the action. One of the fans in attendance yells “Show some mercy,” which Jericho acknowledges on commentary. He says there’s no crying in baseball and no mercy in AEW.

Cabana now starts making his comeback. He goes for the flying apple and another unique move as things as finally going Colt’s way for the first time in the bout. It doesn’t last long, however, as Archer gets Cabana with his Black Out finisher to earn the victory and advance to the semi-finals of the TNT Championship Tournament.

Sammy Guevara vs. Suge D.

The bell sounds and here we go. Straight out of the gate it’s obvious this is going to feature a lot of “comedic relief” for the evening.

Suge D. and Guevara do a ton of various comedy spots, with “The Spanish God” dominating the offense for the most part throughout, all-the-while Chris Jericho has a comedic field day on commentary. Guevara eventually picks up the win.

Winner: Sammy Guevara

After the match ends, Guevara gets on the mic and gives what he calls a “spoiler” in the TNT Championship Tournament — he is going to beat the “sh*t” out of Darby Allin. He says he’s going to give us a preview of what that will look like, so he goes over and beats down Suge D. some more until finally Darby Allin hits the ring and makes the save.

More Celebrities Give Hager-Moxley Predictions. Now we go to some more pre-recorded predictions for tonight’s Hager-Moxley main event, including legendary MMA referee “Big” John McCarthy and AEW announcer Excalibur. After the clips, we head to commercial break.

Taylor gains the advantage with a series of chops and an elbow drop. Taylor eats a Knee Strike sending him to the floor but he sidesteps a Tope Suicida attempt and then hits a Release Vertical Suplex on Sabian onto the apron. Back in the ring, Taylor gets a nearfall and then attempts a Diving Moonsault but Sabian rolls out of the way and hits a Springboard Missile Dropkick for a nearfall of his own.

Shawn Spears vs. Justin Law

As Spears makes his way to the ring, he jaws with Billy Gunn, who is among the dozen bodies scattered around the crowd as part of the “audience” for AEW Dynamite this week. The bell sounds and we see Spears standing in the corner smiling and still wearing his t-shirt.

After Spears tosses Law around for a few minutes he offers to get down in an amateur position for Law and Law rolls him up quickly for a nearfall. Spears elbows Law in the face and goes to town on him with chop. Spears kills Law with a Shortarm Lariat followed by the C4 for the pin.

AEW World Championship
(Empty Arena No Holds Barred Match)
Jon Moxley (C) vs. Jake Hager

The bell sounds and here we go with our Empty Arena No Holds Barred title match main event. It turns out the smattering of “fans” in the seats in the building makes a significant, noticeable difference on the broadcast. It is dead-ass silent now as Moxley and Hager are slow to engage, circling each other and stalking one-another without doing much here in the early goings.

Moxley with an inside leg-trip for a takedown on the amateur wrestling / MMA specialist. Now he rolls for an armbar from his back, which Hager blasts his way out of. Hey, Moxley is the AEW World Champion, folks.

As the action continues, Moxley throws Hager out to the floor and hits a springboard splash on him from the ring. Now, on the floor, Moxley again rolls for an armbar, which Hager fights his way out of. On that note, J.R. sends us to a mid-match commercial break.

We’re back from the break and we see Hager whip Moxley into the ring barricade as the action is still out on the floor. Now Moxley hops the security railing, which leads to J.R. questioning out loud why there are security railings when no one is here. Excellent question.

Meanwhile, Moxley is starting to fire up on offense a bit, getting back into the match until Hager back-body drops him on concrete to keep the offensive momentum in his favor. Hager blasts Moxley with a field-goal kick to the chin as Moxley hangs over the arm railing half way up the arena stairs.

As they continue to brawl up the arena, Moxley takes back over control of the fight. They brawl through various aisles, taking the fight up and down the arena stairs, making good use of the giant open space they’ve got at their disposal. Hager slams Moxley into the ring barricade a few times to take back over control of the offense.

Moxley yells “Screw you! Screw you!” as he spits at Hager defiantly as he gets beat down some more by the MMA star. Hager slams Moxley’s shoulder and torso into the railing.

The fight makes its’ way back to the ring, where the pace picks up as neither man is in firm control at this point in the contest. Hager gets a near fall after a big gut-wrench power bomb. J.R. takes us to another mid-match commercial break on that note.

We’re back from the break and we see that Hager has established the offensive control, however Moxley is firing up now while selling his arm. J.R. also puts over the arm of Moxley being hurt as he finds a pile driver attempt reversed into an ankle lock submission. Moxley escapes and catches Hager coming off the ropes with a DDT.

Hager out of nowhere slaps an arm-triangle on Moxley, with J.R. re-referencing the hurt arm of Moxley. Moxley eventually makes it to the ropes to force the ref to break the hold. Both guys are slow to return to their feet. Hager is up first and starts blasting Moxley, who is on his knees, with punches in the corner. Moxley yells out a war scream as J.R. says he is “Mox’ing up!”

Jake yells “Idiot!” like Napolean Dynamite at Moxley as he rolls out of the ring. Hager goes out after him and grabs a steel chair, with J.R. again questioning why there are so many steel chairs around when no actual people are in the building. Hager uses the chair on Moxley in this No Holds Barred Empty Arena Match. He throws Moxley in the ring and the chair. Now he wedges the chair under the top turnbuckle.

We return and see Hager set the steel chair on Moxley’s leg and stomp on it. Hager puts Moxley in the Ankle Lock submission. Moxley is bleeped as he defiantly dares Hager to break his ankle. Finally, he crawls to the ropes to get out of the hold again.

Moxley now yanks on a guillotine attempt from full guard on the mat as Hager holds on and waits it out on top of the AEW World Champion. Finally he is free and the two start slugging it out. Hager blasts Moxley with a low blow. Moxley grabs the chair and Sabu in ECW style, throws it in Hager’s face. Moxley follows up with his Paradigm Shift DDT finisher on the steel chair for the 1-2-3. Moxley wins and retains his title in what was an excellent Empty Arena No Holds Barred AEW World Title Match main event here on AEW Dynamite.

Winner and STILL AEW World Champion: Jon Moxley
