Tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite finished up with a wild ‘anything goes’ match between Jeff Hardy and Darby Allin to advance to the semifinals in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament.
Hardy ended up victorious over former TNT Champion Darby Allin when all was said and done. Hardy and Darby didn’t disappoint when delivering several high-flying spots throughout the match, but it was a quick crucifix pin that got Jeff Hardy the victory tonight.
Earlier tonight, Darby delivered a promo where he said how fans didn’t want anything more than a wild, daredevil match between the two men, so he asked that Tony Khan make it ‘anything goes’. It was revealed later in the program that was approved by Tony and the two men had no restrictions in the bout.
With his victory, Jeff Hardy will move on to the semifinal round and face the leader of the Undisputed Elite, Adam Cole, who defeated Dax Harwood in the opening match.
Other matches on the men’s side of the tournament that we will see in the near future include Rey Fenix vs. Kyle O’Reilly and Samoa Joe vs. ‘The Joker’, a surprise entrant revealed at the time of the match.
Below are several shots from the matches:
