Excalibur, Tony Schiavone and Taz welcome us to this week’s show, as the camera pans the crowd inside the Wolstein Center. Excalibur welcomes us to the show and then sends things backstage.
MJF Addresses Hangman Page & Mark Briscoe
Maxwell Jacob Friedman appears in a backstage segment to open the show. He is holding a contract in his hand that he earned with his win in the Casino Gauntlet at AEW All In: Texas. He first brings up Hangman Page, who he taunts for being scared for not giving him a title shot.
MJF then turns his attention to Mark Briscoe. He tells the master of Redneck Fu that he belongs as a farmer somewhere in the back-ass of nowhere. He tells him he’s a loser and vows to prove that to him once again later tonight. “I’ll see you in the main event.”
Jon Moxley vs. ‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey
Inside the Wolstein Center, Excalibur brings up a match that was just added to the show after Jon Moxley stormed into the AEW writing room and demanded an opponent for a match tonight. With that said, the theme for Jon Moxley hits and out comes the leader of the Death Riders accompanied by Wheeler Yuta and Marina Shafir.
Mox settles inside the squared circle and looks as angry and miserable as ever, as always. His music dies down and the entrance tune for his opponent hits to bring out ‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey. One-half of the JetSpeed duo with Kevin Knight settles in the ring and the bell sounds to get things started.
Bailey goes right after Mox, blasting him with shots in the corner. Mox begins fighting back almost immediately, and the former AEW World Champion begins to take over, settling into a comfortable early offensive lead. Mox tries ripping Bailey’s ear off in the corner.

He gives MJF the thumb down but tells him that he loves him like a little brother. He tells MJF if he wins the title, Lashley is going to go after him and it won’t be business. It will be very personal. He walks off. After he does, MJF snaps-to, realizing there is another person and a cameraman still in the room, so he flips out.
Swerve Strickland Sends A Message To Kazuchika Okada Ahead Of Forbidden Door
Inside the Wolstein Center again, we see Renee Paquette at the top of the entrance stage. She introduces her guest at this time, Swerve Strickland. Out he comes accompanied by Prince Nana for an on-stage interview. Swerve tells her that last year at Forbidden Door, he had to put down Will Ospreay.

He says Okada is a current Unified Champion but when they say that Okada is a generation wrestler, Swerve is someone that no one has ever seen before. Swerve says Okada has come after him three times and he has put the fear of God into Okada.
He says this is a big match for Okada because he is facing off against the most dangerous man in AEW and that is him. He says this is also about his redemption because he lost two of the biggest matches in his career, back to back times, in London. He says he wants to continue his legacy by defeating Okada. He vows to do exactly that.
Hangman Page Respects Mark Briscoe, Would Love To Defend Title Against Him

Grudge Match
MJF vs. Mark Briscoe
It’s main event time!
Back inside the Wolstein Center, the familiar sounds of MJF’s theme hits. Out comes the co-star of the wildly successful Happy Gilmore 2 film on Netflix. He settles inside the squared circle for the scheduled one-on-one main event of the evening here on this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite.
The next thing we hear is “Reach for the sky, boy!” On that note, the master of Redneck Kung Fu emerges to a roar from the Cleveland crowd. Mohawk-and-all, Briscoe wastes no time making his way to the ring. He settles inside and his music fades down.
From there, the bell sounds and off we go with our Grudge Match main event of the evening. Straight out of the gate, Briscoe wastes no time, blasting MJF with right hands. He climbs the top rope but MJF rolls to the outside of the ring. Mike to the ropes but MJF jumps the barricade.
Mark with right hands as both men begin to fight up the stairs and through the fans. MJF begins to walk away and Mark throws him through the barricade and back towards the ring. Mark goes under the ring and grabs a table. MJF gets back up and grabs Briscoe.
However, Briscoe throws him into the ring post and into the ring. Briscoe climbs the top rope but MJF once more rolls out of the way. MJF grabs the referee and Mark grabs the referee but MJF with a rake to the eyes. He throws Mark into the turnbuckle. MJF with a head lock.
The master of Redneck Kung Fu gets to his feet, only for MJF to connect with a modified stunner. He goes for the cover but Mark kicks out. On that note, the show shifts gears and settles into a mid-match commercial break as this ‘Grudge Match’ main event of the evening continues.
When the show returns, we hear from Excalibur that we’re back from what will be the final break of the evening. It’s literally 10:01pm EST., so that kind of goes without saying. Anyways, MJF is shown in a comfortable offensive lead in the ring. Briscoe, however, begins showing signs of life and fighting back.
Briscoe takes over, looking to hit his Froggy Bow off the top-rope, but MJF rolls out to the floor to avoid it. Briscoe dives anyways, connecting with it from the top-rope all the way to the floor. He rolls MJF back in the ring and climbs to the top again, but again MJF rolls away.
As the action continues, we see things spill out to the floor, as MJF begins settling back into the offensive lead. MJF ends up putting Briscoe through a table on the floor. Briscoe just barely beats the count, getting back on the ring apron at nine. MJF greets him there and hits his Heat-seeker finisher.
He goes for the cover. Briscoe gets his foot on the ropes right before the referee reaches the count of three, however the referee didn’t see it. As the referee jumps up to call for the bell, we see MJF notice Briscoe’s foot on the ropes. He looks back and sees the referee is oblivious, so he quickly knocks Briscoe’s foot off the ropes and jumps up celebrating.
Winner: MJF
Hangman Page & MJF Brawl All Over The Place
His music plays, but stops when he drops down and begins beating Briscoe down with his Dynamite diamond ring on. The theme for Hangman Page hits. The AEW World Champion emerges to a big pop. He’s got a look of pure anger in his eyes as he stares at MJF.
Hangman sets his title down and runs down the ramp. MJF, meanwhile, runs out of the ring and up the ramp, meeting Hangman half way. The two trade shots back-and-forth, with Hangman ultimately getting the better of the exchange. Back in the ring, we see Briscoe finally coming-to.
He backs into the corner and sits up, with his face completely covered in blood. Hangman notices this and goes to check on him. As he does, he hears MJF yelling and quickly exits the ring, hops the guard rail and meets up with MJF for another wild back-and-forth brawl in a sea of fans.
Several officials rush to the scene to break things up. The two fight their way past the security, back over the guard rail, and back to ringside. Hangman rolls MJF in the ring, hops on the apron and takes his jacket off. He gears up for his Buckshot Lariat finisher.
MJF recovers and rolls out of the other side of the ring in time. The camera shot shows a tight close-up of Hangman staring down MJF from the opposite side of the ring. That’s how this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite goes off the air. Thanks for joining us!
