LIVE 1/29 AEW Dynamite Results – We are live from the Von Braun Center in Huntsville, Alabama, as Will Ospreay makes his way to the ring to start the show. Brian Cage follows accompanied by Don Callis.
Will Ospreay vs. Brian Cage
Callis gets on the microphone before the match starts.
Callis tells Ospreay he’s got something he’s gonna want to see. He directs his attention to the big screen, where we see Kenny Omega is laid out. Cage gets the early offensive jump on the distracted Ospreay, as Callis takes his seat on special guest commentary.
Cage dominates the first couple of minutes and eventually brings the action out to the floor. He goes to whip Ospreay into the barricade, but Ospreay leaps and lands on top of it. He stumbles but regains his footing and calls Cage on. He leaps as Cage runs at him, but Cage literally catches him in mid-flip, upside down, in the suplex position.
“The Machine” shows off his impressive strength, carrying Ospreay in the upside down suplex position and walking the floor before bringing him down with authority. Back in the ring, just as Ospreay starts to show signs of life again, Lance Archer attacks him as Cage ties up the ref. Callis gets in some cheap shots for nuclear heat as well.
Back inside the ring, Cage controls Ospreay on the mat as Excalibur runs down the advertised lineup still to come for tonight’s show. Meanwhile, Ospreay starts fighting back, only for Cage to cut his comeback short and blast him with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker.
Ospreay finally starts to shift the offensive momentum in his favor. He enjoys a couple of moments in the offensive driver’s seat, but it doesn’t last for long. Cage goes back to work on him. Archer gets involved again from ringside, and the referee catches him. He nearly ejects him, but for whatever reason, doesn’t.
Seconds later Ospreay surprises Cage with a pin for the win out of nowhere. Archer attacks Ospreay as soon as the bell sounds. Cage joins him in a two-on-one beatdown, which continues until Kenny Omega runs out with a steel chair. He beats down the two big boys and Ospreay and Omega stand tall.
As Ospreay and Omega stare down Archer and Cage on one side of the ringside area, they are attacked from behind by Kyle Fletcher and Konosuke Takeshita. Now a four-on-two beatdown gets underway as the Huntsville crowd loudly boos. Callis insists they finish them off. He doesn’t want them making it to Brisbane for AEW Grand Slam: Australia.
Winner: Will Ospreay
Backstage With Hangman Page & MJF
Backstage, Renee Paquette is standing outside of Swerve Strickland’s locker room. She wonders out loud if he’s in there, and as she does, Hangman Page storms past her and walks right in. He comes right back out and says, “He’s not.” She tries asking Hangman what’s going on, but he cold-shoulders her.
He then bumps into MJF. The two trade stares and Hangman walks off. MJF talks to Paquette about Jeff Jarrett having to face half-man, half-horse Claudio Castagnoli. He says he refused his sweetheart offer and now he’s got a new offer for him. One he can’t decline.
It goes something like this. “The Last Outlaw’s last decline.” After that he uses Double’ J’s old, “Ain’t I great?” catchphrase before smirking and chuckling as the show heads into a commercial break.
Claudio Castagnoli vs. Jeff Jarrett
The bell rings and Castagnoli levels Jarrett with a clothesline. Jarrett cinches in a Figure Four Leg Lock on Castagnoli, but Castagnoli slides under the bottom rope to escape. Wheeler Yuta emerges through the crowd, but the referee tells him to leave.
Back from the break, Castagnoli lands a double stomp on Jarrett’s midsection. He follows it up with The Swing, then locks in a Sharpshooter on Jarrett. Yuta hops up on the apron, but Jarrett clocks him. Castagnoli looks to take advantage and uses a chair, but Jarrett stops him. Jon Moxley appears in the ring and lands a Death Rider on Jarrett. Castagnoli follows it up with a pair of Neutralizers for the win.
Winner: Claudio Castagnoli
After the match, MJF’s music hits and he makes his way down to the ring. He tells Jarrett that he wants to say something to him, but before he can, he levels him and says he told him so without actually saying such.
Backstage, Renee Paquette tries to talk to Ricochet. He says they can talk Saturday in a professional setting. Now, he’s being unfairly forced to compete just one week before one of the biggest matches of his career. He cuts Paquette off and cues his music, and then walks off.
Ricochet vs. AR Fox
As he heads to the ring for our next match of the evening, Excalibur and company promote Ricochet vs. Swerve Strickland for next week’s AEW Dynamite. Ricochet settles in the ring where his opponent, AR Fox, is waiting for him. The bell sounds and off we go.
Fox actually starts off strong, surprising Ricochet with fast-paced, hard-hitting offense straight out of the gate. He hits a few impressive high spots that pops the crowd, but then Ricochet takes over. He spikes Fox’s dome on the ring apron and then taunts the crowd, pretending to do a dive only to stop and mock the fans.
On that note, the show heads into a mid-match commercial break with Ricochet now in a comfortable offensive lead.
When we return, Ricochet lands a massive dropkick on Fox for a close two-count. Excalibur informs us that if Swerve Strickland gets involved in this match tonight, the match with Ricochet is off next week.
He reminds us Ricochet came out when Swerve faced Fox last week. Ricochet lands a standing shooting star press for another close two-count. Fox fights back and hits a 450 splash off the top-rope for a close pin attempt of his own. Ricochet fights back and takes over, hitting Vertigo for the win.
Winner: Ricochet
After the match, Ricochet pulls scissors out of a stashed hiding spot. Before he can use them, however, Swerve Strickland appears at ringside out of nowhere with a smile on his face. He wraps a chain around Ricochet’s legs and begins beating him down. He heads to the top rope but Ricochet pulls Fox over and holds scissors to his throat. He uses him as a hostage and walks to the back.
A preview of Up Close with Renee Paquette airs where Jon Moxley talks about hiding the AEW Championship because it isn’t show and tell. He says he is the living embodiment of the AEW Championship. He wants to build 1,000 more Jon Moxley’s, so he’s going to make them go through what he did, and more.
30 Second Merch Madness then airs with “Daddy Magic” Matt Menard pushing Shop AEW items. After that, we shift gears and head into another commercial break.
Jay White vs. Wheeler Yuta
Yuta looks to blindside White. White sees him coming and sets up for a Blade Runner, but Yuta escapes and rolls out of the ring. He gets back inside, and the bell sounds but Yuta immediately rolls back out of the ring. He gets back inside and White fires off chops on him, then lands a kick on him and follows it up with a back body drop.
The action spills out of the ring, and White lands a chop on Yuta. Yuta sends White’s face bouncing off the barricade twice, then tangles his ankle up in the ring skirt and stomps on it. He gets White back in the ring and delivers a suplex to him, then sends his ankle bouncing off the mat and the barricade.
Back from the break, White lands a chop on Yuta and connects with a clothesline on him in the corner. He follows it up with a superplex, but Yuta rolls up White. White reverses the fall, but Yuta kicks out and cinches in a Half Boston Crab on White. White crawls over the bottom rope to break the hold, but Yuta sends White crashing into the mat off his shoulders.
White sends Yuta crashing into the mat spine first, then sets up for Blade Runner. Yuta counters into a roll up, but White kicks out and Yuta levels him with a German suplex. He ascends to the top and looks to fly, but White moves out of the way and connects with Blade Runner for the win.
Winner: Jay White
After the match, White sends Yuta crashing into the mat with a second Blade Runner. Jon Moxley and Marina Shafir reemerge at ringside as Castagnoli blindsides Yuta from behind. Rated FTR run down to the ring to even the odds. Dax Harwood then challenges The Death Riders to a Mid South Street Fight on behalf of FTR.
Mariah May Responds To Return Of “Timeless” Toni Storm
We head to another commercial break. When we return, we take a look back at Saturday’s AEW Collision, where “Timeless” Toni Storm made her presence known after Mariah May attacked her in the ring. Storm challenges May for the AEW Women’s World Championship at Grand Slam Australia,.
As we head back to the entrance area, where it’s time to hear from the champion herself. May starts shouting at Renee Paquette, running her off before addressing Toni’s remarks. She brings up destroying the Timeless one to win the championship, and how the result will be the same when they face off in Australia. Look now and never forget, for this is your AEW Women’s World Champion.
We get a look at The Gunns as they look ahead to the next chapter of their career. A vignette airs hyping their upcoming return to the scene in AEW.
Matches are then announced for this week’s AEW Collision, which airs on February 1 but is being taped tonight. Among bouts scheduled is a 3-Way match for the TNT Championship, as Daniel Garcia defends against Kyle O’Reilly and Lee Moriarty. We then take a look at how we got to the match, with issues between STP, Undisputed Kingdom, and the pairing of Garcia and Daddy Magic.
A quick Hurt Syndicate package airs after that, and then we head to a quick pre-match commercial break before the TBS Championship tilt with Mercedes Mone defending against Yuka Sakazaki takes place as the headline bout for this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite.
When we return, we see highlights of Cage vs. Ospreay and Jarrett vs. Castagnoli from earlier tonight. The AEW Grand Slam: Australia card is hyped by the commentators, and then Deonna Purrazzo and Taya Valkyrie are shown backstage. They tell Harley Cameron she belongs to The Vendetta. “Saturday, we’re coming to collect.”
TBS Championship
Mercedes Mone (c) vs. Yuka Sakazaki
The bell rings and the two lock up. Mone levels Sakazaki with a shoulder tackle and does her signature dance, but Sakazaki responds with one of her own and mocks Mone by doing her dance. Mone then delivers a meteora off the apron to level Sakazaki on the outside.
Back from the break, Mone looks to land a meteora on Sakazaki in the corner. Sakazaki avoids it and delivers a dropkick to Mone off the top rope, then sends her crashing into the mat with a suplex and goes for a pin. Mone kicks out, but Sakazaki levels her with a forearm. Mone connects with The Three Amigos on Sakazaki, then goes for a pin but Sakazaki kicks out.

Mone cinches in a crossface on Sakazaki, but Sakazaki escapes and levels Mone with a right hand. She pins Mone, but Mone kicks out and connects with the Mone Maker for the win.
Winner: Mercedes Mone
We go to credits.
–– Here is what’s in stoe for the show ––
- AEW TBS Championship: Mercedes Mone (c) vs. Yuka Sakazaki
- MJF to speak
- Brian Cage vs. Will Ospreay
- Wheeler Yuta vs. Jay White
- Ricochet vs. AR Fox
- Jeff Jarrett vs. Claudio Castagnoli
If Jeff Jarrett wins, he gets a shot at the AEW World Title:
Mercedes Mone will be putting the TBS Championship on the line for the first time since retaining against Kris Statlander at AEW Worlds End on December 28, 2024 as she defends against Yuka Sakazaki. Not only did Sakazaki defeat Serena Deeb, Deonna Purrazzo, and Queen Aminata to secure her spot in tonight’s match this past Saturday on “AEW Collision”, but this will also be her first time competing on “Dynamite” since unsuccessfully challenging Mariah May for the AEW Women’s World Championship.
As his issues with Jeff Jarrett continue to grow, MJF will be making an appearance on tonight’s show with something on his mind to share. Speaking of Jarrett, he have to temporarily refocus his sights as he collides with one third of the reigning AEW World Trios Champions Claudio Castagnoli. Should Jarrett be the one to emerge victorious in tonight’s match, then he will earn himself the opportunity that he’s been after over the course of the last few weeks to challenge Castagnoli’s Death Riders stablemate Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship.
Will Ospreay and Kenny Omega are currently preparing to join forces to take on Konosuke Takeshita and Kyle Fletcher at AEW Grand Slam: Australia on February 15. Before they do, Ospreay looks to gain some momentum heading into the bout as he goes one-on-one with Takeshita and Fletcher’s Don Callis Family stablemate Brian Cage. Takeshita, Fletcher, Cage, and Lance Archer found themselves involved in a huge brawl with Ospreay and Omega in the opening minutes of last week’s edition of “Dynamite” following a tense conversation between the latter two men.
