1/15 AEW Dynamite: Maximum Carnage Results

1/15 AEW Dynamite: Maximum Carnage Results – We are live from the Andrew J Brady Music Center in Cincinnati, OH, where Taz is seen at the commentary table in his return appearance alongside Excalibur and Tony Schiavone.

Brian Cage vs. Kenny Omega

Brian Cage’s theme hits and out comes “The Machine.” Excalibur touts tonight as a pay-per-view level card on free television. Cage settles in the ring and his music dies down. Now the dramatic, elaborate ring entrance for Kenny Omega takes place to bring back “The Cleaner” in his highly-anticipated AEW in-ring return.

The bell sounds and Omega immediately goes to work on Cage in the corner, blasting him with punching combos to the bread-basket. He whacks him with a chop, which Cage essentially no-sells. Omega’s eyes light up. Omega hits some more chops and then a running back elbow to “The Machine” in the corner.

Don Callis is on special guest commentary for this one, and he begins enjoying what he’s seeing as Cage takes over and focuses on the mid-section of Omega. The commentators talk about Omega’s return from a long bout with diverticulitis and how Cage is ruthless for focusing on the abdomen of “The Cleaner.”

Omega starts to fight back, but after Lance Archer provides a distraction at ringside, Cage takes over again. Cage brings Omega back to the floor and whips him into the unforgiving barricade. He slams Omega’s head into the ring apron and we see some blood begin to surface.

He press slams Omega on the commentary desk. Archer holds him as Callis pops up from his seat to deliver some blatant cheap shots. On that note, we shift gears and head into a mid-match commercial break as the action continues.

When the show returns, we see Cage still in a comfortable offensive lead.

Cage launches Omega into the ring from the entrance ramp with a release power bomb over the ropes. Moments later, Omega hits a power bomb of his own and a running knee for a close two-count. He looks for a V-Trigger, but Cage avoids it. Omega drops Cage with a knee and hits a V-Trigger. He hoists Cage up for a One-Winged Angel and connects for the win.

Winner: Kenny Omega

Don Callis Family Attacks Will Ospreay, Kenny Omega

As soon as the match ends, Archer hits the ring and along with Kyle Fletcher, begin beating down Omega. Fans chant “Ospreay! Ospreay!” and seconds later, on cue, Will Ospreay runs down to make the save. Omega and Ospreay hit some double-team spots that sends Archer out of the ring with Cage. Ospreay hits a splash on Fletcher on the floor.

Konosuke Takeshita’s theme hits and out he comes. He immediately begins trading shots with Omega in the middle of the ring as the crowd goes wild. Fletcher grabs Omega from behind and hits a dragon suplex. Takeshita follows up with a King Kong lariat. Ospreay hits the ring to help out, but Takeshita and Fletcher gobble him up as well.

– A MVP vignette airs hyping him taking off his suit and stepping into the ring for the first time in two years. We then head to another break. When we return, we see a “New York Minute” segment where we learn that this Saturday on AEW Collision, it’s going to be The Learning Tree and Jon Moxley’s Death Riders vs. Rated-FTR, The Outrunners and Powerhouse Hobbs.

Swerve Strickland Gains Measure Of Revenge On Ricochet

Ricochet is introduced by “The Dapper Yapper” Justin Roberts as we return inside the arena. Footage is shown of his scissors attack of Swerve Strickland last week. He settles in the ring in a suit and glasses. The commentators point out scissors in his suit coat pocket. Fans get on his case with the “Who’s House?” / “Swerve’s House!” chants and loud Dominik Mysterio-style boos.

He doesn’t say much, simply taunting the crowd until he is blasted from behind by Prince Nana. Nana hits him with a chair, drops it and does his usual goofy-assed, but always-entertaining Swerve-dance. Swerve then comes out with some swagger and a giant Rampage Jackson-style chain around his neck. Swerve beats Ricochet to the double doors and throws him out in the snow.

– A quick “Day in the Life of Mercedes Mone” video package airs, showing her visit to the Sherri Shepherd Show and buying jewelry and working out. We then return inside the arena to the best new theme in the business.

The Hurt Syndicate vs. Private Party & Mark Briscoe

“We hurt people! We hurt people!”

Out comes The Hurt Syndicate trio of Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin and MVP. They head to the ring and settle inside. The best theme in wrestling today wraps up and then we hear, “Reach for the sky, Boy!” Mark Briscoe comes out. “Oh my god, is that Private Party?” Yes. Yes, it is Private Party.

The Hurt Syndicate wastes no time going after Private Party and Mark. The bell rings and MVP goes after Mark in the corner, but Mark connects with a dropkick on him off the ropes and goes for a pin. MVP kicks out, then levels Mark with a boot before Bobby Lashley sends Mark crashing between one of the barricades and the ring apron. He then delivers a bodyslam to him onto the floor.

Back from the break, MVP connects with an elbow drop on Mark. Isaiah Kassidy and Shelton Benjamin tag in, and Kassidy levels Benjamin. Marq Quen tags in and delivers a double dropkick to an interfering MVP with Kassidy. The pair then land double dropkicks on Bnjamin and Lashley, then hold open the ropes for Mark to fly to level Lashley on the outside.

Quen sends Benjamin crashing into the mat face first, and Kassidy flies off Quen’s spine to continue wearing down Benjamin in the corner. Benjamin delivers a German suplex to Kassidy, and Lashley follows it up with a spear. Benjamin then delivers a German suplex and a superkick to Quen for the win.

Winners: The Hurt Syndicate

– Cope vs. PAC is announced for next week. Swerve Strickland vs. Ricochet is set for AEW Dynamite in three weeks in Atlanta, GA. In the arena, Jeff Jarrett’s theme hits. He talks about being humbled, but before he can finish, he is cut off by the theme music of Maxwell Jacob Friedman.

Jeff Jarrett Confronted By MJF

Jarrett says the last few weeks have been humbling for him. MJF’s music cuts off Jarrett, and he makes his way down to the ring.

MJF says he gave Jarrett the opportunity of a lifetime last week, but Jarrett cuts him off and says MJF came up with a scheme because he was too lazy to enter the Casino Gauntlet Match last week. MJF warns Jarrett against interrupting him and says he’s a living legend while Jarrett is “the definition of a pro wrestling grim reaper”. He takes a few shots at Jarrett’s previous demons and his wife.

Jarrett says he knows the best years of his career are behind hi, but AEW fans woke up a passion in him he didn’t know he still had when he entered the Owen Hart Foundation Cup Tournament last year. He says he’s done everything MJF can say or do and did it better than him, then says there are days where he feels sorry for MJF. He takes shots at MJF’s parents and says he’s scared that his best years are behind him and being a one hit wonder.

MJF says he’s nothing like Jarrett and says he made himself unlike Jarrett. He says he got screwed out of the AEW World Championship and his legacy, then says the same people who put him on a pedestal took it out from under him and treated him like he was nothing. He then brings up Jarrett’s friendship with Owen Hart, prompting Jarrett to rain down right hands on MJF. Officials run down to the ring to try and pull Jarrett off MJF, but are unsuccessful until Karen Jarrett runs down to the ring to pull Jarrett away.

HOOK vs. Christian Cage (w/ Mother Wayne)

Christian Cage and Mother Wayne then make their way down to the ring. HOOK blindsides him from behind and fires off right hands on him, then sends his face bouncing off the ring apron face first. Cage looks to retreat to the back, but HOOK pulls him back into the ringside area. HOOK dumps Cage back into the ring, and Cage looks to hug HOOK. HOOK sees right through the ruse and continues beating down Cage.

Back from the break, Cage rains down right hands on HOOK in the corner. HOOK dumps Cage out of the ring and lands a right hand on him off the ring apron, then looks to stomp on his hand. Cage sees him coming and trips him to send him crashing into the ring steps, then delivers a pair of splashes to him off the top as Kip Sabian joins Mother Wayne at ringside.

Cage sends HOOK crashing into the ring post shoulder first as Katsuyori Shibata appears to provide HOOK with back-up. Cage takes down Shibata, but HOOK locks in Redrum on Cage. Sabian and Nick Wayne then slide into the ring to break the hold, causing the disqualification.

Winner: HOOK (via disqualification)

After the match, The Patriarchy continue to beat down HOOK. Taz gets in their faces from the commentary desk, but Samoa Joe’s music hits and he makes his way down to the ring to make his return to AEW! Joe takes down The Patriarchy, then stands tall alongside HOOK and Shibata.

– Dustin Rhodes approaches Jeff Jarrett backstage and talks about how they’re the last of a dying bread. He tells him he’s The Last Outlaw and to remember that outlaws never die. He believes in him and is behind him on his journey towards trying to capture the world title.

Women’s Casino Gauntlet

Inside the arena, AEW Women’s World Champion “The Glamour” Mariah May comes out to get a up-close and personal look at who will be challenging her at AEW Grand Slam: Australia. She joins the gang on special guest commentary. Kris Statlander and Jamie Hayter make their way out to start off the Women’s Casino Gauntlet.

The bell rings and the two lock up. Statlander runs over Hayter with a shoulder tackle, and the two look to level one another. Both stay on their feet until Statlander levels Hayter with a Falcon Arrow.

Megan Bayne is next in the match, and she fires off shoulders on Statlander’s midsection in the corner. She lands a splash on her, then levels her with a clothesline and sets up for a delayed vertical suplex on Hayter. Julia Hart is the next entrant, and Hayter delivers a suplex to her on the entrance ramp.

Back from the break, Willow Nightingale is next up in the match, and Nightingale looks to land a kick on Bayne. Bayne avoids it and delivers a boot to Nightingale, but Statlander rains down right hands on her as Hayter sends Hart crashing into the barricade. Nightingale and Statlander level Bayne with a double suplex, then fire off chops on one another. Nightingale then levels Statlander with a shoulder pounce.

Toni Storm is the next entrant, and Nightingale gets her up on her shoulders. Nightingale escapes and pins Storm, but Storm kicks out and levels Statlander with a shoulder. Everyone then begins brawling with one another, and Hart sends both Statlander and Storm crashing onto the floor. She then exchanges right hands with Hayter.

Harley Cameron is the next competitor in the match, and Hayter lands a backbreaker on Hart. Cameron rolls up Hayter, but Hayter kicks out. Hart spits black mist into Cameron’s eyes and delivers a basement clothesline to her spine, but Storm rolls up Hart for the win.

Winner (and new Number One Contender): Toni Storm

AEW World Championship
Jon Moxley (c) vs. Powerhouse Hobbs

The bell sounds and these two immediately get after it. The commentators talk about Mox being responsible for bringing Hobbs into the mix in AEW. They talk about his early days on AEW DARK. Hobbs takes over on offense and starts biting Mox on the ear. Fans chant “You sick f*ck!” at him. The show heads into a mid-match commercial break on that note.

When we return, we see blood coming out of Mox’s ear and on Hobbs’ mouth from the pre-commercial bite. Mox starts to take back over on offense. He sends Hobbs sailing through the ropes and out to the floor, where Shafir gets in a cheap shot. Back in the ring, Mox tries for the Death Rider, but Hobbs counters it.

We’re past the 10pm hour at this point, so we’re going long tonight, folks! Hobbs takes over on offense again and beats on Mox in the corner. He hoists Mox up and hits a World’s Strongest Slam for a two-count. Hobbs puts Mox in the corner and climbs up with him for another one, but Mox counters. Mox slaps an armbar on the big man. He cranks on it as Mox’s ear gushes blood.

Yuta runs out from the back and blasts Hobbs with a Buisuke Knee from behind. He runs off. Hobbs recovers and hits a spinebuster on Mox. He hoists Mox up in the torture rack position, but Mox escapes. Shafir blasts Hobbs with a cheap shot with a briefcase. Mox rolls him up but only gets two. Mox hits a Paradigm Shift and gets only two on another cover. He slaps on a bulldog choke and cranks back on it. The referee calls it. Mox wins and retains.

Winner and STILL AEW World Champion: Jon Moxley

The Death Riders crew all hit the ring and begin attacking Hobbs in vicious fashion after the match. They all take turns beating on Hobbs with a steel chair. They attack his surgically repaired knee. They put the chair around it and stomp on it. This continues until Cope’s theme hits. “The Rated-R Superstar” runs out with FTR and The Death Riders leave through the crowd.
