3/13 AEW Dynamite Big Business Results – This week’s show kicks off with a live shot of Renee Paquette outside of the TD Garden as a big vehicle pulls up. The door opens but we don’t see who steps out. We shoot inside the building and the camera pans the crowd as fans chant “AEW! AEW!”
After a slight delay, we hear some music playing with the chant “CEO! CEO!” and then out comes Mercedes Mone to kick off this week’s show as the fans nearly blow the roof off the building. She comes out dancing and making her way down to the ring to start off the show.
She settles in the ring and gets emotional as fans chant “Welcome Home! Welcome Home!” She talks about how she has arrived and is ready to handle Big Business. She gets emotional thanking the fans for always being there for her throughout her career for so many moments and promises there will be many more along the way now that she is #AllElite.
She talks about tonight’s main event between Riho and Willow Nightingale, the latter of whom fans boo as she was the one who defeated her for the NJPW STRONG Women’s Championship. She talks about her excitement of getting to work with the rest of the talent in AEW and says it’s the only place she can have a women’s revolution internationally.
Mone points out the “Mercedes Mone Is #AllElite” graphic on the big screen, which AEW President Tony Khan just shared via his X account. She confirms that she is “#AllElite” and wraps up the opening segment as fans again chant “CEO! CEO!”
– Backstage, Renee Paquette is standing by with the AEW World Champion Samoa Joe, who is in his ring gear. He talks about his scheduled title defense against Wardlow of The Undisputed Kingdom tonight. We then shoot to a video package featuring Adam Cole putting over Wardlow in storybook fashion, explaining how it was written that he will become the AEW World Champion.
AEW World Championship
Samoa Joe (C) vs. Wardlow
Inside the TD Garden, the theme for Samoa Joe hits and out comes the reigning and defending AEW World Champion for our first match of the evening. Fans chant “Joe! Joe! Joe!” as he settles in the ring. His music dies down and he awaits the arrival of his opposition.
The theme for The Undisputed Kingdom hits and out comes the entire group with Wardlow. They all wish him well and he heads to the ring as they head to the back. Wardlow settles inside the squared circle and it’s time to kick things off.
Wardlow immediately attacks Samoa Joe as he enters the ring, taking the fight out of the ring as he slams him repeatedly into the barricade and the LED board. He sends him into the stairs and then rips up a fan sign about Joe. However, back inside the ring, Joe starts unloading with chops until Wardlow nails a spinebuster and then starts charging into Joe in the corner of the ring.
The champion responds with some trademark jabs and then a running back elbow to drop the Undisputed Kingdom star. Joe then connects with a back elbow in the corner which he follows with an enziguri as he takes control. Joe places Wardlow on the top turnbuckle but he fights his way out and then nails a Whisper In The Wind to take Joe down.
The two big men then trade blows until Wardlow busts out a dropkick, which he follows up with a body slam. Wardlow then continues to dominate, and while Joe tries his classic walk-off to avoid the top rope move of Wardlow, he doesn’t jump and the move doesn’t work for Joe as Wardlow leaps and takes him out. The champion responds in a flurry though with a big boot and then a senton.
Both men then exchange big shots at each other, but Joe comes back with a power slam and Wardlow kicks out of the pinfall attempt. Joe then lifts Wardlow but drops him down and he pretends to tweak his knee and that allows him to lure Joe in as he rakes his eyes. Wardlow sets Joe on the top turnbuckle and drops him down to connect with a knee strike, but Joe then kicks out.
Wardlow then misses with a top-rope senton, but as Joe hammers some punches in at the corner Wardlow lifts Joe and powerbombs him. However, as he goes for another, Joe reverses and sets in the Coquina Clutch.
Winner and STILL AEW World Champion: Samoa Joe
Swerve Strickland hits the ring afterwards, but officials break them up.
Alex Marvez Catches Up With The Elite
After the match, Alex Marvez catches up with The Elite trio of The Young Bucks and Kazuchika Okada. He asks Okada why he would align himself with The Elite. Matthew and Nicholas Jackson cut him off and tell him to show him respect and call him by his full name.
They then say they can think of 14 million reasons why Okada joined AEW, presumably alluding to how much his deal is for. Okada points out it’s Matthew’s birthday and makes Marvez sing the “happy birthday” song to him. As Marvez does, we head to another commercial break.
The Elite vs. Eddie Kingston, Penta El Zero Miedo & PAC
When we return from the break, The Young Bucks theme hits and out comes Matthew and Nicholas Jackson in elaborate robes. They stop half way down the ramp and flip a coin, which is synched up with the coin-flip in the theme of Kazuchika Okada. “The Rainmaker” comes out to join them in the ring for our second match of the evening.
Penta El Zero Miedo’s theme hits next and out he comes. The theme for PAC plays and out comes “The Bastad.” Eddie Kingston’s tune plays after that and the fans go wild as “The Mad King” comes to the ring. Fans chant “Eddie! Eddie!” as the bell sounds and he and Okada stare each other down.
Kazuchika Okada and Eddie Kingston square up, but he tags out to Matthew Jackson straight away. Jackson wants a fist bump but instead gets chopped as PAC gets tagged in. Jackson again wants a fist bump, this time he eats a kick to the chest as the Englishman dominates early on with a backbreaker. Matthew takes a shot to the windpipe, so Nicholas Jackson tags in and so does Penta El Zero Miedo.
Penta gives Nicholas a big boot and he then slams him down to the mat for a near fall. PAC returns with a high boot and he and Penta hit tandem dropkicks and then tandem superkicks to Matthew. PAC then holds Matthew’s legs open as Penta comes down from the top rope to nail him. Kingston comes in but Nicholas hits a jawbreaker and Okada then tags in as Kingston chops him several times but then eats a dropkick.
The Elite then nail triple kicks to the head of Kingston as Nicholas then rakes the eyes of Kingston with his feet before tagging in his brother. Matthew isolates Kingston in the corner as Okada then tags in and does the same. Kingston begins to fight back and takes out Nicholas and Okada, but Matthew drags him back to the corner, but Kingston then catches him and suplexes Matthew across the ring. However, as he crawls to the corner Okada and Nicholas pull his partners from the apron.
Despite that, Kingston throws Matthew with a belly-to-belly suplex, and Penta tags in and hits a double crossbody to The Young Bucks. Both of them eat slingblades and he then rolls Okada and jumps into double DDTs to the tag team. Okada eats a thrust kick as PAC comes in with a shotgun dropkick. They then dive outside the ring and wipe out The Young Bucks.
Okada tags in but eats a snap German suplex from PAC and Kingston then unloads chops to Okada, but he responds with a DDT. PAC tries to help but gets driven face-frst into the mat by Matthew who is taken out with a Canadian Destroyer, but Nicholas wipes out Penta until Kingston drops him on the top rope. However, the official gets distracted and Nicholas hits a low blow to Kingston which sets up The Rainmaker.
Winners: The Elite
Will Ospreay Talks Bryan Danielson Match At AEW Dynasty
When we return from the break, we see Tony Schiavone standing in the ring. He brings up the Will Ospreay vs. Bryan Danielson at AEW Dynasty and then introduces “The Aerial Assassin,” who makes his way down to the ring. The fans chant “Bruv! Bruv! Bruv!” and he legitimately breaks up laughing.
He talks about how important the Danielson match is. He talks about emulating his career after Danielson, who always gave 100% regardless of the size of the crowd or the promotion he was in. He mentions a story about how everyone was talking about the Tiger Driver ’91 move.
Ospreay says while he respects Danielson, the match they have coming up means more to him. He brings up a phrase and says he is the feeling. He says he learned from Danielson he can respect the man standing across from him, and still understand when the bell rings it’s me or him, “And I don’t plan on dieing, Bruv!”
Jay White vs. Darby Allin
Jay White immediately starts attacking the back and ribs of Darby Allin which are heavily taped after the glass spot at AEW Revolution. White nails a few big chops, but he responds with a shotgun dropkick, and he then launches himself out of the ring several times to attack White. However, he suplexes Allin and he smashes into a chair which breaks it, and he is then sent toward the stairs, and he flips to avoid it but crashes into the barricade instead.
Inside the ring, Allin manages to hit a crossbody, but White immediately regains control with some chops. He then mocks Sting but misses with the Stinger Splash as Allin starts unloading several strikes and then a stunner. Allin then goes for the Last Supper, but White just manages to kick out. Allin comes in with a big elbow strike, but as he attempts a springboard Coffin Splash, White uses his momentum and turns it into a German suplex in mid-air.
White nails a urinagi, but once again Allin kicks out of the pinfall attempt. Allin then nails a Scorpion Death Drop, but White has his foot on the ropes to ensure he doesn’t get beaten. With White dangling on the ring apron, Allin attempts a Coffin Drop but the Bullet Club Gold star moves just in time and Allin bounces off the apron. Allin just manages to beat the 10 count, but he is immediately dropped with the Bladerunner.
Winner: Jay White
The Bang Bang Scissor Gang Implodes
Once the match wraps up, it doesn’t look like Jay White and The Gunns are content. They grab baseball bats and a chair and go to do further damage to Allin. The Acclaimed’s theme hits and they run out to make the save for Allin.
Billy Gunn gets in White’s face and yells at him over this. When he turns around, White blasts him with a chair. The Gunns turn around and see their father down. The Acclaimed turn around but The Gunns see them coming and beat them down.
The Gunns throw Allin back in the ring and they and White do what they originally, intended, beating Allin down with a bat and a chair to injure his leg. After this, we head to a commercial break as fans loudly boo The Gunns.
Chris Jericho & HOOK vs. The Gates Of Agony
Bishop Kaun and HOOK kickstart the match as HOOK immediately gets thrown across the ring. However, LionHook works together and suplex Kaun, and then does the same to Toa Liona as they showcase their teamwork early on. Chris Jericho then isolates Kaun and nails several chops but ends up running into a big boot as Kaun runs him over with a lariat. He hangs Jericho on the top rope as Liona simply charges into him and sends him to the floor.
Liona nails a splash inside the ring and they continue to isolate the veteran. Kaun places him on the top turnbuckle and connects with a chop, but Jericho fights back with a headbutt and then a diving forearm. Jericho looks for a tag but Liona stops him and they work together beating him down in the corner. Jericho continues to fight back and try to make a tag, but Liona charges into him.
Jericho and Kaun then trade blows until Jericho hits a big boot and then the lionsault and he finally tags in HOOK. He comes in with some big lariats to Kaun and then a t-bone suplex, as he pulls down the rope to send Liona out of the ring with his momentum. However, Liona is back in to break up the pinfall attempt on his partner only for Jericho to send him out of the ring.
HOOK then manages to hit a German suplex to Liona, but Kaun then drives his knees into HOOK after dropping him from his shoulders. While HOOK kicks out, Gates Of Agony then works together, but HOOK reverses and locks in Red Rum. He pushes Kaun into Liona as Jericho pulls him out and into the ring post while Jericho and HOOK both lock in their submission finishers.
Winners: HOOK & Chris Jericho
– We shoot to Renee Paquette, who is standing by with Kyle O’Reilly. He talks about just having gone through the worst days of his life. He mentions not being able to even pick up his daughter. He then says he’s back in the most competitive roster in wrestling history.
O’Reilly says he’s ready to get started and calls out “The Bounty Hunter” Bryan Keith for later this week in his home country of Ottawa. We hear “KYLE!!!” and in comes AEW International Champion Roderick Strong and The Undisputed Kingdom. He tells O’Reilly if he wants to do this alone, he respects that.
– From there, we head into a video package hyping our upcoming main event between Riho and Willow Nightingale. After it wraps up, we see Riho backstage when Mercedes Mone walks up and introduces herself. We head to a commercial break on that note.
Riho vs. Willow Nightingale
When we return from the break, former AEW Women’s Champion Riho and former NJPW STRONG Women’s Champion Willow Nightingale make their respective ring entrances. The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with our final match of the evening. The two immediately get after it, with Riho starting off well.
Willow starts to take over as we shift gears and head into a mid-match commercial break as our main event continues. When we return, we see Riho firing up for an offensive comeback as Excalibur runs down the updated lineup for Saturday’s AEW Collision show, as well as next week’s AEW Dynamite.
Nightingale knocks Riho out to the floor with a vengeance. Willow goes for a big flipping splash to Riho on the floor, but Riho side-steps her and Willow crashes and burns on the floor. Riho comes off the ropes with a double foot stomp to Willow on the floor. Fans chant “This is Awesome!”
Riho hits a Dragon Suplex to Willow that pops the crowd. She heads to the top-rope and leaps off with another flying double foot stomp. She goes for the cover, but Willow somehow kicks out after the count of two. Willow fights back and pulls the straps down. The two roll around for pin attempts. Willow hits a Doctor Bomb for the pin and gets the win.
Winner: Willow Nightingale
After the match, we see Willow check to see if Riho is okay. She helps her up and the two hug. Willow poses on the ropes in the corner as the lights go out and her theme music cuts off. When they come back on, TBS Women’s Champion Julia Hart is at ringside. Skye Blue hits the ring from behind and the two attack her.
Fans chant “CEO! CEO!” and then we hear the same theme that started the show. Mercedes Mone runs out to make the save. Skye Blue heads up the ramp to meet her but Mone easily decks her and continues to the ring. She stands across from Julia Hart. Hart goes for a kick but Mone avoids it and hits her finisher to run off the TBS Women’s Champion.
Fans loudly chant “CEO! CEO!” again as Willow raises Mone’s hand for a big pop. That’s how this week’s show goes off the air. Thanks for joining us!
