8/27 AEW Dynamite Live Results – Welcome to WrestlingAttitude’s live coverage of AEW Dynamite on August 27, from the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
FTR’s theme hits to bring out Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler, accompanied by “Big” Stokely Hathaway. While walking to the ring, Wheeler stops and gets in a fans face, who in return gets right back in his in intense fashion. Wheeler refuses to back down so this continues for a good few seconds.
Finally, FTR settles inside the squared circle, but when Harwood tries to begin speaking to officially start the in-ring promo segment, we quickly come to realize that his microphone is not working. We spend a few seconds waiting for them to get a microphone that works.
Harwood then begins to talk and mentions a miscarriage of justice at the AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door: London pay-per-view. Fans loudly chant “Shut the f**k up!” as he continues to talk. They bring in referee Paul Turner and demand he admit he was wrong and reverse his decision from Sunday.
He tells him he also wants him to inform his family, his wife and his children at home that he is bad at his job and that he messed up. He then wants him to reverse his decision from Forbidden Door and officially announce FTR as the new AEW World Tag-Team Champions.
Turner says his decision stands. “Big” Stoke loses his cool. He gets on the mic and gets in Turner’s face and now he tries to intimidate him. Turner pushes Stoke. Wheeler pushes the hell out of Turner. As they continue to rough up the defenseless ring official, the iconic sounds of Metalingus’ “One Day Remains.”
Adam Copeland makes his way out, with the crowd loudly singing his theme song. The commentators question where Christian Cage is. Just as they do, we see Cage fly into the camera shot and begin beating down FTR. Copeland quickly joins him and the brawl spills into the crowd and back into the ring.
As a ton of officials finally separate the two teams, Copeland gets on the microphone. He tells Harwood he understands he has a father as well. He tells Wheeler he has a father as well, “and that bitch is dead!” Officials hold FTR back as they try and storm the ring.
Copeland takes the microphone. After saying something that has to be censored off the broadcast, he makes an announcement. He confirms it will be the reunited duo of C&C, Copeland and Christian Cage, taking on FTR. He says “and it’s time that I take my pound of flesh” in his hometown of Toronto at AEW All Out on September 20.
Jon Moxley (w/ Marina Shafir and Wheeler Yuta) vs. Daniel Garcia
The bell rings and the two lock up. Moxley levels Garcia, but Garcia fights back. Moxley levels Garcia with a back elbow, then follows it up with a chop and rains down right hands on him in the corner before jamming his thumb into Garcia’s eye.
Garcia lands a pair of back kicks on Moxley as he sits on a chair on the outside, then dumps Moxley back in the ring. Shafir stares down Garcia, but “Daddy Magic” Matt Menard appears at ringside to check on Garcia and stares down Shafir himself.
Garcia cinches in an Ankle Lock on Moxley, but Moxley grabs him onto the bottom rope to break the hold.
Back from the break, Moxley rakes Garcia’s spine. Garcia fires off right hands on Moxley’s knee as the pair teeter in the corner and bites it, then lands a superplex on Moxley. Garcia then pins Moxley, but Moxley kicks out and pins Garcia. Garcia kicks out, but Moxley lands a cutter on him.
Moxley charges at Garcia, but Garcia catches him with a boot and cinches in a Half Boston Crab on him. Moxley crawls over to the bottom rope to break the hold, then sends Garcia crashing into the ring steps with a DDT to him. Moxley gets back in the ring and the referee begins a ten count, but Garcia just beats it and fires off a right hand on Moxley. He looks to deliver a Dragon Screw on him, but Moxley cinches in a cross armbreaker on him. Garcia escapes and locks in a leg submission on him before he counters into a piledriver and goes for a pin. Moxley kicks out.
Garcia looks to cinch in another submission on Moxley, but Moxley counters into a roll up for the win.
Winner: Jon Moxley
After the match, Moxley hands Yuta a microphone. He says Moxley won’t waste his breath and tells Darby Allin no to his challenge at All Out on Moxley’s behalf. Moxley whispers something to Garcia on the outside and heads to the back with Shafir before Yuta stares down Garcia and smiles at him. Garcia then throws a chair.
Yuta stays in the ring and says he used to do the ring crew in Philadelphia. He says Will Ospreay left Forbidden Door on a stretcher and Chuck Taylor has a broken neck, then says he slayed the “American Dragon” in Bryan Danielson and replaced him. HOOK’s music hits, and he makes his way to the ring. Yuta charges at HOOK, but HOOK sends him crashing into the corner and locks in Redrum on him. He sends him crashing into the mat with a right hook and heads to the back.
MJF Reveals Stipulation Change For His Casino Gauntlet Contract
In a special digital exclusive backstage interview from AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door: London at The O2 Arena this past Sunday, we see Maxwell Jacob Friedman covered in blood sitting on the floor in his locker room. MJF goes on to address his loss to Hangman Page in their AEW World Championship main event.
He also mentions dealing with Mark Briscoe. He also talks about Tony Khan telling him he can no longer cash in his Casino Gauntlet contract for his ‘rightful title shot whenever he so chooses.’ He must announce it ahead of time. He says when that time comes, he won’t be signing the dotted line to take Hangman’s title, but instead his soul.
Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford then make their way to the ring. Kris Statlander and Harley Cameron follow.

Back from the break, Bayne runs over Statlander with a clothesline and goes for a pin. Cameron kicks out, but Bayne levels her with a bodyslam and ascends to the middle rope as Ford does the same in the opposite corner. Ford and Bayne look to land moonsaults on Statlander and Cameron, but Statlander and Cameron roll out of the way. They double team on Bayne and Statlander pins her, but Ford breaks the fall.
Cameron lands a twisting neckbreaker on Ford before Bayne and Statlander exchange forearms with one another in the middle of the ring. Cameron delivers a Tornado DDT to Baye on the outside, and Ford looks to fly off the ropes. Statlander rolls through and sends Ford crashing into the mat face first. She cinches in a submission on her, and Ford taps out.
Winners: Kris Statlander and Harley Cameron
After the match, Bayne pulls Cameron off the ring apron and brawls with Statlander. Statlander rocks Bayne with a superkick, but Willow Nightingale slides into the to stop Statlander and Ford pulls Bayne out of it.
Mercedes Mone Hosts A Championship Celebration
Renee Paquette introduces Mone, and she makes her way to the ring. Mone tells Philadelphia to say hello to “Nine Belts Mone” as she counts out all of her title belts on a table before Paquette asks Mone about her time in the United Kingdom. She asks Mone what’s next for her, and Mone says she’s going to smash Ultimo Dragon’s ten belts.
Paquette says Alex Windsor tapped her out, but Mone insists she never tapped out as she was on a time out and was swatting a bug away from the ring. She says Windsor is jealous that she was a better RevPro Undisputed British Women’s Championship, then says she doesn’t care about Windsor and will put her in a hospital bed right next to her husband Will Ospreay. Mone says she wants to dance in celebration and does so.
The Don Callis Family then make their way to the ring. Brody King, Bandido, and JetSpeed all follow.
All Star 8-Man Tag
Brodido (Brody King & Bandido) & JetSpeed (Kevin ‘The Jet’ Knight & ‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey) vs. The Don Callis Family (Kazuchika Okada, Konosuke Takeshita, Josh Alexander & Hechicero)
Hechicero and Bandido begin the action. The bell rings and the pair take turns pinning one another and kicking out. Konosuke Takeshita tags in, then immediately tags out to Josh Alexander.
“Speedball” Mike Baliey tags in and JetSpeed double teams on Alexander, then rock him with a superkick.
Kazuchika Okada and Takeshita look to double team on Speedball, but King levels them both with a double clothesline and follows it up with a double cannonball to them off the apron.

Winners: The Don Callis Family
We Hear From Hangman Adam Page
Page thanks Will Ospreay and says he’s sorry for how everything has happened for him at AEW All In. He says everyone will miss Ospreay and wishes him the best as he recovers, then says he hopes Ospreay can come back to challenge him for the AEW World Championship.
Page then addresses MJF and says MJF has a chance at the AEW World Championship on Sunday at Forbidden Door, but he still failed and he wants MJF to remember that. He says MJF will have to give him a seven day notice before he challenges him for the AEW World Championship again, then warns him that he will beat him before the ink is even dry.
Don Callis makes his way back to the ring and says he has a long history with Page. He says he wants the AEW World Championship back in The Don Callis Family, then says it’s not a question of if The Don Callis Family will get the AEW World Championship, but which member will take it from him.

Winners (and still): The Opps
After the match, Shelton Benjamin and Bobby Lashley march out to the ring and begin brawling with The Gates Of Agony on the entrance ramp.
Falls Count Anywhere
Darby Allin vs. Claudio Castagnoli
When the show returns, we hear the familiar sounds of Claudio Castagnoli’s theme music. Out comes the member of The Death Riders for the advertised main event of the evening, a Falls Count Anywhere match against enemy number one to Jon Moxley and The Death Riders — Darby Allin.
As Castagnoli is about to walk through the back to make a custom entrance through the crowd, he is cut off and attacked out of nowhere by his opponent. Allin gets off to an early offensive lead as this Falls Count Anywhere match gets off to a hot start.
Castagnoli quickly fights back into competitive form before ultimately taking over control of the action. He slams Allin on a bunch of crap nearby and then drags his lifeless body into the entrance area inside the arena. Castagnoli grabs Allin by the legs and begins a giant swing.
He releases him and sends him flying with authority into the unforgiving barricade. He goes for a pin right there on the spot, but Allin kicks out to keep this one alive. Allin fights back, re-enters the ring, quickly hits the ropes, sprints and dives through the ropes for a splash onto Castagnoli at ringside.
Allin stops to play to the crowd as they roar. He then begins his long climb way up some production stuff at ringside. A giant pole, basically. He’s way up there and without any hesitation, he jumps up and leaps off backwards, soaring down to Castagnoli and crashing into him with his Coffin Drop finisher.
He goes for the follow-up pin attempt, but only gets two. The action resumes inside the ring after that. Castagnoli ends up taking back over on offense. He hoists Allin up with an overhead military press and runs across the ring, launching him over the ropes where he crashes violently onto a desk at ringside.
On that note, the show shifts gears and heads into a mid-match commercial break as the action in our Falls Count Anywhere main event of the evening continues inside the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia. When the show returns, we see Castagnoli still controlling the action.
Two tables are brought into the ring and are set up leaning long-ways in opposing corners of the ring. Allin starts to fire up, and the crowd loudly comes to life in the background as well. Allin hops on Castagnoli’s back with a choke.
Castagnoli throws him off. He goes charging at him, but Allin moves and Castagnoli puts himself through a table in one of the corners. Allin grabs a steel chair and begins blasting Castagnoli with it. He puts Castagnoli’s head through the chair and lets out a war cry.
Allin heads to the ropes, looking to do to Castagnoli what he and The Death Riders did to Will Ospreay after the Unsanctioned Lights Out Steel Cage main event of AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door: London this past Sunday night. Castagnoli stops him, however, and Donkey Kong’s him onto a pile of chairs for a two-count.
He then picks Allin up and launches him through the other table in the other corner. He quickly follows up with another pin attempt, but once again only gets a count of two for his troubles. Fans begin rallying behind Allin with chants as he is slow to recover.
Allin does start to fight back, however, and even connects with a big Code Red. He goes for the cover, but Castagnoli survives. Allin follows up by climbing the ropes and hitting a Coffin Drop. He pops right back up, climbs the ropes a second time and hits a follow-up Coffin Drop for the win.
Winner: Darby Allin
Once the match wraps up, a mystery man in a hood hits the ring and begins attacking Allin. He pulls the hood off to reveal he is none other than NJPW star Gabe Kidd, one of the members of the The Death Riders team in the Unsanctioned Lights Out Steel Cage match at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door: London.
Jon Moxley and The Death Riders make their way out to join in. Instead, Allin manages to flee the ring and hop the barricade. He exits through the crowd. Mox is shown helping Castagnoli up in the ring. They go after him but decide against it. That’s how this week’s show wraps up. Thanks for joining us!
