AEW Dynasty Results 04-21-2024

  • AEW Dynasty Pre Show

The Young Bucks arrive to the arena in the obnoxious and recently recalled Tesla Cybertruck

  • TRENT BARETTA DEF. MATT SYDAL

“We want Sue” chants distract Trent early on. Pretty good back and forth that ends with Trent tapping Sydal out with a triangle choke. Chuck Taylor has to stop Trent from continuing to beat on Sydal.

Trent tells Chuck Taylor he hasn’t been answering his phone and he’s acting like a prick. Chuck has until Wednesday to tell him where he stands. As he’s leaving Orange Cassidy comes out for his match. He’s got a job to do, so he let’s Trent go.

  • KATSUYURI SHIBATA AND ORANGE CASSIDY DEF. SHANE TAYLOR PROMOTIONS

Fun match that so some stuff striking and interesting technical wrestling. Shane Taylor is really winning me over. Great wrestler.

  • WINNER TAKE ALL ROH SIX MAN VS AEW TRIOS CHAMPIONSHIPS: BULLET CLUB GOLD DEF THE ACCLAIMED

THE UNIFIED AEW WORLD TRIOS CHAMPIONSHIPS HAVE ARRIVED. Decent six man match that really reminded me of how stuck in hell the six man titles have been since the Acclaimed lost their momentum.

  • AEW CONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP: KAZUCHIKA OKADA(c) def. PAC

Kazuchika Okada brings the IWGP Heavyweight epic to AEW here with PAC. Slow paced to start and increasingly violent as time goes on.

Okada is entirely comfortable being a dickhead heel here and it is AWESOME to see. Excellent freaking match.

  • ADAM COPELAND, MARK BRISCOE AND EDDIE KINGSTON DEF. HOUSE OF BLACK

What a surprisingly fun match here. Great stuff from everyone involved. Adam Copeland has been so good in the ring lately. Match ends when Copeland goes for a spear and gets misted by Malakai Black for a pin.

  • TBS CHAMPIONSHIP: WILLOW NIGHTINGALE DEF. JULIA HART(c) TO BECOME THE NEW TBS CHAMPION!

Very fast match that makes me believe Julia Hart was not cleared to do very much. Mercedes confronts Willow after the match

Legendary Spanish announce team member Carlos Cabrera is shown on camera for the first time after being hired last week

  • AEW INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP: RODERICK STRONG(c) DEF. KYLE O'REILLY

EXCELLENT FREAKING MATCH. Wardlow almost gets involved a few times before finally distracting Kyle one time. Full blown peak ROH/PWG era match here.

Adam Cole and the rest of Undisputed Kingdom Come out to celebrate with Roddy. Cole stares a hole into Wardlow's head. The story there is just beginning.

  • FTW CHAMPIONSHIP: CHRIS JERICHO DEF. HOOK(c) TO BECOME FTW CHAMPION

Painful match and it wasn’t because of the performances. This audience is sick and tired of Chris Jericho in his current form and they let it be known for the entire match.

  • AEW WOMENS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP: TONI STORM(c) DEF. THUNDER ROSA

Toni Storm and Thunder Rosa tore the house down here. VERY physical match that saw both ladies absolutely CLOCKING each other multiple times. Rosa kicked out of Storm Zero once but a kick to the genitals led to another Storm Zero and a pin.

  • Will Ospreay def. Bryan Danielson in One of the greatest pro wrestling matches you will ever see in your life. This was something to be proud of.

    No hyperbole to be found here. This was worth the price of admission alone.

  • THE YOUNG BUCKS DEF. FTR TO BECOME AEW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! JACK PERRY RETURNS!!

This match was full of violence and everything you would want out of a ladder match. It took a bit to get into it after that last performance stole the show. But they absolutely lived up. Jack Perry's appearance at the end was icing on top of the cake.

The reaction for Swerve Strickland is incredible as he comes out dressed like Killmonger from Black Panther.

  • AEW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP: SWERVE STRICKLAND DEF. SAMOA JOE(c) TO BECOME THE NEW AEW WORLD CHAMPION

What a great moment for the company. What a great show all around.
