11/29 AEW Dynamite Results – We are live from the Target Center in Minneapolis, MN, as Daniel Bryan makes his way out to join the commentary team for the rest of the night.
AEW Continental Classic Match (Gold League)
Jon Moxley (3) vs. Jay Lethal (0)
The commentators point out part of the rules being that anyone not in the match is banned from ringside. They talk about the three titles on-the-line for the eventual winner of this tourney.
Jay Lethal and Jon Moxley start with several side headlock takeovers as they then break down into a back-and-forth of forearm strikes. Lethal locks in the Figure Four Leglock, but they roll out to the floor and then begin brawling. Lethal pushes Moxley into the ring apron and then hits a suicide dive, but as he goes again Moxley avoids it and then responds with one of his own.
Back inside the ring, Lethal puts a focus on Moxley’s knee as he then looks for Lethal Injection but it gets caught. Lethal immediately drops Moxley down onto his knee several times and follows it up with an Elbow Drop, but Moxley kicks out. Lethal sends Moxley over the barricade and into the fans, and then begins slamming down Moxley’s knee onto the ring apron to keep the attack up.
Moxley manages to hit a cutter to turn things around, but his knee doesn’t allow him to keep up the attack. Lethal drives Moxley toward the top turnbuckle and then hits a dragon screw, sending Moxley crashing to the mat. Moxley responds with some big elbow strikes and the two then go back and forth as Lethal Combination gets hit which gains him another near fall.
Moxley manages to goad his opponent in though, allowing Lethal to go headfirst into the turnbuckles. Lethal and Moxley then go through some transitions, but it ends with a Figure Four Leglock being put on Moxley, but he gets to the ropes. Lethal aims for Lethal Injection, but Moxley drops down and pretends to be hurt before he can deliver it. He then pops up to deliver a Paradigm Shift, a King Kong Lariat and a piledriver…but Lethal kicks out! However, Moxley then immediately locks the Bulldog Choke and gains a submission win.
Winner: Jon Moxley
Eddie Kingston, Bryan Danielson Ready For This Saturday
We see a cool post-match backstage interview with Eddie Kingston after his first round loss in the AEW Continental Classic last week. We hear him talk about coming up short and how he’s behind the eight ball because he’s got Bryan Danielson this Saturday. After it wraps up, Danielson gives a fired up response from the commentary desk.
Sting & Ric Flair Take A Trip Down Memory Lane
After the Kingston-Danielson promos, we head to another commercial break. When we return, we see Tony Schiavone backstage. He talks about Sting’s retirement at AEW Revolution 2024. He says AEW decided on Greensboro, N.C. and the Greensboro Coliseum as the place for Sting’s final match.
With that in mind, he brings in Sting and Ric Flair while talking about Sting’s infamous match in 1988 against “The Nature Boy.” He talks about their 45-minute broadway commercial-free draw. He thanks Flair for that incredible night and calls Greensboro a fitting place to end his career.
Flair gets emotional and then fired up as he talks about the significance of Sting coming back to Greensboro to end his legendary career. Flair talks about Sting putting himself on the map back in 1988 when they shared the ring. Flair says he’s honored to be by Sting’s side at AEW Revolution 2024 when he retires.
AEW Continental Classic Tournament
RUSH vs. Mark Briscoe
The two immediately meet in the center of the ring and start trading shots and vicious chops back-and-forth.
We see RUSH pull into the early offensive lead, taking it to Briscoe with double stomps in the corner and then beating him down on the floor at ringside. Briscoe fights back and hits a Double Bang Bang elbow off the ring apron to RUSH on the floor in an ode to Cactus Jack. Back in the ring, the two get in a chop-off once again.
As Briscoe runs over RUSH with a huge lariat, we see both guys down and out as we head into a mid-match commercial break as this tournament tilt continues.
When we return, we see RUSH hit a crazy hip-toss on Briscoe from the apron to the floor. Back in the ring, they trade chops again on the top-rope.
Briscoe knocks him down and leaps off with a Froggy Bow for a close near fall attempt. RUSH kicks out and then walks into a Jay Driller attempt by Briscoe. RUSH back-drop counters out of it and then sends Briscoe into the corner before decking him with an elbow. When you mess with the bull, you get the horns, and RUSH gets a pin for three points.
Winner: RUSH
RJ City Checks In With “Timeless” Toni Storm
We send things backstage to RJ City, who is standing by with “Timeless” Toni Storm. She is laid out on a couch and talking about gout and feeling swollen, but claims she will find the energy to defend her title later this week.
MJF Talks About Samoa Joe And AEW Worlds End
Back inside the Target Center the theme for MJF hits and out he comes to the ring limping as the commentators talk about him being in rough shape. He settles in the ring and tells the truck to cut his music, cut his music.
MJF talks about not being overly fond of Samoa Joe as a person, but claims he respects him. He says he didn’t come here to line his pockets, he believes in the three letters of AEW. He talks about being younger and getting a TNA poster with Samoa Joe on it. He says in WWE his talents weren’t appreciated.
Friedman says Joe paved the way for guys like him to be here today. He says as much as it pains him to say all of this, he says thank you Joe. He says however, he’s not too shabby himself. He managed to pave a road of his own and he built a new alternative. He says he’s been in AEW since day one and he’s helped build this place brick by brick.
He talks about being in the ring and beating guys like CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Bryan Danielson, Chris Jericho and others. He says December 30th is about MJF seeing if he can out-last the final boss of this sport, Samoa Joe, one more time.
He promises that if his knee and hip and shoulder keep popping in and out, to beat him at AEW Worlds End, he’s gonna have to put him down. The lights go out and a strobe light starts blinking. When the lights come back on, masked men in clothes with his Devil mask on the back of their shirts beat MJF down and have a bat.
Samoa Joe appears and clears them out of the ring to save MJF. Text reads on the screen, “In the shadows, our game begins. Next week, MJF and Samoa Joe, will you face the unknown in a tag match? Are you a hero, Max?” We return to Joe and MJF in the ring. He says he’s sick of this Scooby Doo bullsh*t.
He says he’s gonna take out all of your men one-by-one and unmask him. He says if you want a tag match next week, you’re on. MJF tells Joe something off-mic. He walks off and his music stops but then starts again. He heads to the back as Joe looks at him from the ring. We head to another commercial break.
Wardlow vs. AR Fox
When we return, Wardlow’s theme hits and he makes his way down to the ring. Already in the ring is AR Fox, who runs and hits a pump kick as Wardlow was on the apron. He then leaps over the top and splashes onto Wardlow. He runs and flips over the ropes and hits another diving spot on Wardlow.
Wardlow fights back and catches Fox as he tries for a shooting star press off the apron. Back in the ring, the bell sounds and now the match is officially off-and-running. He launches a lariat at Fox that turns him inside out. He dead lifts him and hits a power bomb symphony over-and-over.
He heads to the top and hits a senton splash and then another power bomb symphony for the win. The ref calls for the bell and Wardlow walks off with a TKO (ref stoppage) win.
Winner: Wardlow
The Hardys & Brother Zay vs. Top Flight & Action Andretti
The Hardys start the match in control against Action Andretti, but Brother Zay and Darius Martin then come in with Zay taking him out with a shoulder tackle. Dante Martin then tags in and quickly takes control for his team as Andretti then drops down with a stomp onto Zay’s arm, but Matt Hardy takes a cheap shot and that allows his team to regain control. Jeff plants Andretti to the mat with Matt coming in to hit Andretti with a huge slap and then his Delete shots in the corner. He connects with a Side Effect, but Andretti manages to kick out.
Andrett escapes a Twist of Fate and connects with a combination of strikes as Dante tags in again. He showcases his pace and nails a springboard, as Dante then comes in to snap Matt to the mat. Brother Zay then takes down Dante, but Jeff knocks Darius off the apron as Zay leapfrogs from Jeff’s back to send Andretti out as well. The Hardys then hold up Dante as Zay hits a springboard dropkick, but he kicks out.
Dante responds with a knee to the head of Zay while Andretti and Darius attack The Hardys. Dante then plants Zay down to the mat and picks up the pinfall!
Winners: Top Flight & Action Andretti
We head to a commercial break after the match.
Top Flight & Action Andretti Already Have Next Challenge
When we return, we see Top Flight and Action Andretti backstage when in comes Penta El Zero Miedo, who shakes Dante’s hand. He counts to three while pointing to each Martin and Andretti. Up walks Komander and El Hijo del Vikingo. He counts to three while pointing to them. Another Trios match seems to be coming.
TBS Women’s Championship
Julia Hart (C) vs. Emi Sakura
The commentators reveal that Sakura has picked a no-win by submission rule for the bout, per the Open House rules. The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with this title tilt. Hart takes the early offensive lead.
They fight out to the floor where Sakura takes over. As a motionless Hart lays up against the steel steps, Sakura runs over and splashes onto her. After that, we shift gears and head into a mid-match commercial break.
When we return, Sakura hits a wild back-breaker after hooking the arms of Hart. Hart jumps on Sakura’s back and slaps on a choke as the commentators remind us that there are no wins by way of submissions in this match tonight. Sakura fights back and puts Hart in the surfboard submission.
Sakura goes to the top-rope and leaps but Hart moves. She locks in the Hart-less submission but again she is told by the ref that she can’t win by submission. Hart hits a lariat and then a moonsault for the win.
Winner and STILL TBS Women’s Champion: Julia Hart
Mariah May Talks To Tony Khan
RJ City is backstage with Mariah May. She talks about being the new girl and says she came from STARDOM so she’s excited to show what she can do. She thanks RJ City for connecting her with “Timeless” Toni Storm. May then goes in to talk to Tony Khan.
Christian Cage Responds To Adam Copeland’s Challenge
Back inside the arena, out comes TNT Champion Christian Cage by himself. He settles in the ring and a bunch of security come in and stand behind him. It’s time for Christian Cage’s response to Adam Copeland’s recent challenge. He starts off by calling out “The Rated-R Superstar” Adam Copeland to come to the ring.
After a lengthy delay, finally Adam Copeland’s theme hits and out he comes with a serious look on his face as he power walks down to the ring and rolls inside. He gets up in Cage’s securities face as Cage stands behind them in the corner of the ring.
Cage says management asked for security to be here but says they don’t need it tonight. He asks the security guys to vacate the ring. Cage brings up Copeland challenging him to a TNT title match on 12/6 in Montreal on Dynamite. Cage says they’re not gonna make it to Montreal as he gets in Copeland’s face.
He says they’re not gonna make it to Montreal because he’s sorry. He says he knows that sounds like he’s only saying it because he’s on an island by himself now that Copeland took out Luchasaurus / Killswitch and Nick Wayne. Cage accidentally calls Killswitch by the name Luchasaurus. The fans chant “You f’d up!”
Christian talks about their old days together. He says they’re brothers. He says Copeland lost his father and Cage’s dad became like his own. He talks about Copeland’s mom Judy, and says they should team up like he first said. “C’mon, let’s do it for the Jude-meister!” He then tries to sneak and hit him with the TNT title.
Copeland catches him and kicks him in the nuts. Cage slides down him like Chris Jericho on Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania. Copeland yanks him up to his butt and says sit up when I talk to you. He tells him he’s taking the TNT title from him.
“Oh one more thing, go f*ck yourself.” I censored it here. AEW didn’t do the same, as Copeland’s f-bomb made the air. Whoops! We head to another commercial break.
AEW Continental Classic Tournament
Jay White vs. Swerve Strickland
Jay White sends Swerve Strickland out of the ring to start as he brawls with his opponent, only for Strickland to reverse and launch White into the barricade. White responds with one of his own and then targets the injured shoulder of Strickland while connecting with some chops in the corner of the ring, but Strickland fights back with some of his own. Once again the match heads outside the ring, and Strickland dumps White onto the barricade and into the fans.
Strickland then runs and stomps onto the back of White, but as he tries to get back into the ring the Bullet Club Gold leader attacks him and DDT’s Swerve to the mat. The match heads to the floor once again and Strickland hits a backbreaker and then a running boot to the face of White. As the match heads out of the rine once more White drops Strickland shoulder-first onto the ring apron and then into the stairs.
White slams Strickland down to the mat with his hair and that angers Strickland who slaps him, but White launches Strickland into the turnbuckles straight after. The two men then counter a series of moves until Strickland hits a flat liner and a vertical suplex, but he doesn’t get the job done. White then plants Strickland onto his head before a German suplex, but Strickland immediately fires back with a discus lariat.
They go back and forth with forearm strikes until White gets dropped, but as Swerve tries to get him White hits a chopblock and he then connects with an urinagi. Strickland rolls through a submission attempt and hits a kill shot to the arm of White. White then gets sent toward the official and that leads to him almost going for a low blow, but Strickland sees it coming and then nails a running kick to the head. Strickland hits Swerve Stomp, but White kicks out!
White then hits a Bladerunner, but Strickland rolls out of the ring to stop a pinfall. Back inside the ring, he looks to hit it again, but Strickland reverses with a pinfall attempt, catching White out.
