AEW Dynamite results 05/17/23: Hangman sides with The Elite, spelling Anarchy for the BCC

This week’s AEW Dynamite includes a big women’s tag team match and Roderick Strong vs. Chris Jericho in a Falls Count Anywhere match.

When someone says you’re more than a friend to them and are indeed more like family, it takes a special kind of jerk to betray them in a very public and violent fashion. Don Callis is proving to be exactly that kind of jerk, which is relevant for tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite from Austin.

See, Callis turned on Kenny Omega in the middle of a Steel Cage match, making him bleed with a screwdriver and gift-wrapping a victory for Omega’s bitter rival, Jon Moxley. So far, he hasn’t explained himself, but he’s supposed to tonight on AEW Dynamite.

Other parts of tonight’s show will need much less exposition. For example there’s no mystery about why Britt Baker, Hikaru Shida and Jamie Hayter want to get their hands on The Outcasts. Heck, the only thing to wonder about is why it took so long (OK, probably because of the need to wait for Shida to return, but still).

Similarly, there’s not much mystery around why Ricky Starks is eager to step in the ring to face Jay White, or why Roderick Strong is sticking up for his friend Adam Cole to the point where he’s facing Chris Jericho in a Falls Count Anywhere match. The battle lines in these programs have been pretty well drawn.

There’s also a good chance we’ll find out more about the big wrestling news of the day, which was the official announcement of AEW: Collision. Will there be another name revealed as a star for the new show? A certain Second City Saint, perhaps?

Let’s find out.

AEW Dynamite results from Austin:

  • Wardlow wants Christian Cage to back up his tough talk, but he’s not about to let Cage actually spit on his face; the problem is that Luchasaurus is there too, and the two of them beat Wardlow down with a ladder
  • Orange Cassidy and Darby Allin def. Big Bill and Lee Moriarty by pinfall
  • The Young Bucks get approached by the Blackpool Combat Club in the parking garage, which stinks for them since they’re outnumbered; Jon Moxley grabs the camera and says they’re the only elite in this business
  • Renee Paquette is on hand to see Wardlow and Arn Anderson discuss what just happened, which leads Wardlow to challenge Cage to a Ladder Match at Double or Nothing
  • Paquette talks to Cassidy, who tells Kyle Fletcher, or anyone really, to find Tony Khan and ask for a title match at Double or Nothing
  • Sammy Guevara def. Exodus Prime by pinfall in a squash match, then cuts a short promo about his long, winding road leading to his championship opportunity at Double or Nothing
  • Tony Schiavone tries to summon Jay Lethal and Jeff Jarrett, but they get attacked by FTR before they can even make it to the ring … which ends badly for the outnumbered tag team champs as they take twin guitar shots

  • A very busy Paquette gets a word with Allin when he’s visited by Guevara, who says he won’t be laying down for MJF and gets a “may the best man win” fist bump from Darby
  • Ruby Soho and Toni Storm def. Britt Baker and Hikaru Shida by pinfall, with some cheating involved, naturally
  • Paquette tells Cassidy 20 people asked for a shot at his title, so he says he’ll fight them all in a 21-person (including him) battle royal for the Intercontinental Championship

  • Tony Khan promotes the June 17 premiere of AEW: Collision, including the fact that the first few shows will be in Canada
  • Roderick Strong def. Chris Jericho by pinfall in a Falls Count Anywhere that ranged all over the arena and eventually outside the building, meaning Adam Cole could lend a hand … which he did

  • “Jungle Boy” Jack Perry def. Rush by pinfall, then gets a hand from Allin and Guevara to fight off an attack from Rush’s teammates
  • MJF angrily knocks the microphone out of Paquette’s hand instead of answering her question about his title match at Double or Nothing

  • Paquette talks to Storm, who mocks Jamie Hayter for not being there tonight and challenges the champ to put her title on the line at Double or Nothing
  • Jay White def. Ricky Starks by DQ after Starks is caught using a chair introduced to the match by Juice Robinson
  • “We are … THE ELITE!” Instead of talking about what he did to Kenny Omega, Don Callis wants to talk about what Omega did to him, and when Kenny comes out, the Blackpool Combat Club immediately beats him down; the Young Bucks limp out there with weapons and are joined by Hangman Adam Page, who says at Double or Nothing it’s The Elite vs. Blackpool Combat Club, Anarchy in the Arena

AEW Dynamite preview: Anti-Outcasts team finally bands together, Don Callis speaks

This week’s AEW Dynamite also features Ricky Starks vs. Jay White and “Jungle Boy” Jack Perry vs. Rush.

Faces need more friends. It’s one of our mantras here at Wrestling Junkie when it comes to the usual pro wrestling fare, where the bad guys inevitably outnumber the good guys. It’s been true for The Outcasts most of the time since they formed, but it won’t be tonight on AEW Dynamite in Austin.

That’s because the “homegrown” side of the feud that has been top of mind in the women’s division for some time got a much needed boost with the recent return of Hikaru Shida. Now she, Britt Baker and AEW Women’s Champion Jamie Hayter will fight together against The Outcasts in what figures to be one of the night’s biggest bouts.

We’ll also hear from the man who was front and center for AEW’s most shocking recent plot twist, Don Callis. Though it appeared he was reinforcing The Elite by recruiting Konosuke Takeshita, he revealed that wasn’t the case when he betrayed longtime friend Kenny Omega at a pivotal time during his Steel Cage match with Jon Moxley.

Why did Callis turn? Fans in Austin will supposedly have a closeup view to find out.

Another potential showstopper on the card will put one of AEW’s foundational talents against a man who’s only recently arrived. Chris Jericho has been doing all he can to torment Adam Cole to the best of his considerable abilities, but Cole got some backup when Roderick Strong arrived a few weeks ago. Tonight, the two men will do battle in a Falls Count Anywhere match where both Cole and the JAS are banned from participating.

Also being promoted for tonight:

You know what to do if you want to see everything in store for Austin: Tune in at 8 p.m. ET on TBS. We’ll also have live AEW Dynamite results right here on Wrestling Junkie if you can’t, so you’re covered either way. See you then!

AEW Dynamite results: Stacked Detroit card ends in big betrayal

Two titles were also on the line in the Motor City, but did either one change hands?

Unlike many pro wrestling stables, The Elite and Blackpool Combat Club don’t really have designated leaders. They’re more collections of equals in many ways. But Kenny Omega and Jon Moxley are certainly the frontmen when necessary, and that’s extremely relevant to this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite in Detroit.

See, the beef between the two groups has gotten to the point where something dramatic needs to be done to settle it. And well, Omega and Moxley stepping in against each other in a steel cage fits the bill.

That’s a spectacular main event for free TV by any reckoning, but Little Caesars Arena will also be treated to a pair of title bouts: Orange Cassidy will defend his International Championship against Daniel Garcia, and House of Black will put their World Trios Championship on the line against Bandido and Best Friends under their unique “House Rules.”

There’s more, too, but let’s not waste any more time. Here we go.

  • Paquette wants to know how Chris Jericho feels about Adam Cole getting the best of him, but The Ocho has lawyered up and gotten a restraining order, but that doesn’t apply to Roderick Strong, who challenges Jericho to a Falls Count Anywhere match … and Jericho accepts only to find that Strong has ensured that the JAS will be banned from the building next week when it goes down

AEW Dynamite results: Darby Allin, Jack Perry aren’t united but are victorious over MJF, Sammy Guevara

See how MJF’s grand plan went up in smoke on Dynamite.

In a twist on what you might expect, Darby Allin and Jack Perry appear to be at odds with each other already, while MJF and Sammy Guevara come to the ring in matching scarves and are all hugs.

Perry and Guevara start out for their respective teams, and Jack looks good, firing off a crisp dropkick that has Sammy begging off. Allin and MJF both tag in, with the fans firmly behind Darby. Some mat wrestling gets Allin a near fall, then another — and now it’s MJF’s turn to hug Sammy before they head to the floor to regroup.

The faces isolate MJF, but Guevara is able to sneak in a cheap shot from the apron, giving the world champ the upper hand. Guevara tags in and chokes Allin with his scarf behind the referee’s back, not once but twice. Alas, the referee catches them the second time but doesn’t see the choke.

Perry is doing a horrible job alerting the ref, but that works for his team too as Allin grabs the scarf and uses it himself. Allin tries to make a tag but MJF gets to Perry first and hurls him into the barricade.

After some commercials, Perry finally gets the hot tag, and he’s even able to fight the other team one on two. Jack hurls himself into suicide dives to both sides, repeatedly, in an impressive display of cardio. When Guevara finally gets out of the way, Allin throws his body at Sammy instead, and Perry hits a Tiger Driver for a near fall.

Guevara responds with a Spanish Fly off the top for a two count on Perry. MJF tags in and peppers Perry with right hands as boos stream in from the fans. MJF tries throwing his partner into a swanton but Allin is now back to hit a Code Red on Sammy. MJF counters into a powerbomb for two when Allin tries to give him the same treatment.

Meanwhile, Perry has tagged himself in, and he locks MJF in a Snare Trap until Guevara uses a double stomp to break it. The bad guys look ready for tandem dives, but MJF lets Guevara do it on his own. Perry is rolled back into the ring, but he kicks out after a brainbuster.

Sammy gets tagged back in and climbs to the top rope, delivering a big senton that allows MJF to cover for two. Now MJF and Guevara are bickering a bit after the champ tagged himself in. Sammy tries to steal MJF’s pin, saying “we’re trying to win” right back to MJF.

Their discussion leads to MJF slapping Sammy, who superkicks him in response. Perry tries to roll up Sammy but only gets two, and now Allin tags himself in, hits the Coffin Drop and gets the three count. Despite his efforts, MJF will now have three challengers for his world championship at Double or Nothing.

AEW Dynamite results: MJF’s plan goes awry, Hikaru Shida fools us all

We’ll find out tonight if MJF will be facing three angry Pillars trying to take his title at Double or Nothing.

It’s time to see if MJF has played the medium game correctly tonight on AEW Dynamite.

See, he knew that all three of AEW’s so-called Four Pillars were aiming for his AEW World Championship. So he tried to play them off against each other, and even paid Sammy Guevara to try to get past the other two and then lay down for him at Double or Nothing.

And like lots of stuff MJF does, it almost worked.

But not quite, and now he has to team with Guevara tonight to face Jack Perry and Darby Allin. If his team wins, he only has to defend his title against Guevara. If not, well, all three Pillars will be trying to take his gold. We’ll see if he can keep this particular house of cards (since AEW loves the casino analogies) from falling down.

In other news, it’s the third of May, so AEW is celebrating with a Tres de Mayo Trios Battle Royale. We’re assuming the winner gets a title shot, or something? Maybe? Anyway it’s a good reason to watch the amazing team of Lucha Bros. and El Hijo del Vikingo. We’re sold just on that.

AEW says we’ll also hear from The Elite tonight. The trio has been having a rough time as of late in their ongoing beef with the Blackpool Combat Club, which along with being in a perpetually foul mood, also outnumbers them four to three. That may have changed with the arrival of Konosuke Takeshita, but there’s no guarantee the Japanese up-and-comer is on the same page, and the BCC will no doubt be trying to keep it that way.

AEW Dynamite results for Baltimore:

(click on any match with a link for full details)

  • Orange Cassidy, Bandido, Roderick Strong and Adam Cole def. Jericho Appreciation Society (Daniel Garcia, Jake Hager, Angelo Parker and Matt Menard) when Cole pins Parker; Cole then makes a beeline for the announce table to attack Chris Jericho

  • Renee Paquette gets a word with Darby Allin and Jack Perry, who are focused on making it to the Double or Nothing main event, not whether they like each other
  • Jericho is shown in the back imploring security to remove Cole from the building, but Britt Baker shows up and slaps him in the face
  • Bryan Danielson says he’s better than Bret Hart ever was and is the best in the world today, and if he’s not, it’s one of his BCC teammates; he also says someone will be better than him someday, and that the BCC wants to push people, and Jon Moxley wonders if The Elite is still innovative, promising he’ll show Kenny Omega “a whole new version of Jon Moxley” in the steel cage next week
  • Saraya def. Willow Nightingale by pinfall with plenty of help from the other Outcasts; a returning Hikaru Shida fakes joining the Outcasts but helps Baker and Jamie Hayter lay out the heels instead

  • The House of Black says any three competitors can challenge them, but House Rules says 20 count instead of 10, no rope breaks, and DQ is enforced but the challengers get to pick the rule
  • The Acclaimed and Daddy Ass win the Tres de Mayo Trios Battle Royale, last defeating Kip Sabian, Butcher and Blade
  • MJF wants to butter up Sammy Guevara again, but Guevara looks like he buys the champ’s lame excuse, and they end up hugging again
  • Kenny Omega scoffs at the idea of a new Mox, and Don Callis calls him a “sick, twisted, narcissistic sociopath” before Omega promises all of this will end next week
  • Wardlow wins a squash match over local talent and demands for Luchasaurus to come out for a match right now … but Christian Cage says the title shot belongs to him
  • Jay Lethal, Jeff Jarrett and company paid a visit to Mark Briscoe’s home turf, and Papa Briscoe was unamused … as are we after Lethal and Jarrett say they are challenging FTR for the tag team titles

  • Ricky Starks def. Juice Robinson by pinfall, but Jay White attacks Starks after the bell and Ricky narrowly avoids a Blade Runner
  • MJF stops in and visits Perry before the main event, trying to buy him off at the last moment but uses some weird reverse psychology to try to pull it off
  • Jack Perry and Darby Allin def. MJF and Sammy Guevara by pinfall when Allin pins Guevara after a Coffin Drop

AEW Dynamite preview: Four Pillars fight, Trios Battle Royale

Will things with the other Pillars finally spiral out of control for MJF?

Happy Tres de Mayo! What do you mean that’s not a thing? AEW Dynamite says it is, so we’re rolling with it for tonight’s episode from Baltimore.

The true spirit of Tres will come to life in a Trios Battle Royale. Among the teams joining in the festivities are The Acclaimed and Daddy Ass; The Butcher, The Blade and Kip Sabian; The Dark Order; Powerhouse Hobbs and the QTV crew; and … checks notes … Lucha Bros. and El Hijo del Vikingo? Holy crap.

While that will be the biggest match of the night in terms of number of competitors, another one looms larger in the AEW World Championship picture. MJF has tried his best to arrange things so that only Sammy Guevara — whose friendship he’s tried to buy — would be in line for a championship opportunity.

But “Jungle Boy” Jack Perry and Darby Allin have persisted, and now they have a chance to turn the upcoming match at Double or Nothing into a four-way affair if they can defeat MJF and Sammy in a tag team match tonight. Got all that?

Singles matches? Dynamite will have a few of those as well. Saraya will take on Willow Nightingale in a bout both her Outcasts teammates and their enemies will be watching closely. And Ricky Starks will battle Juice Robinson, who almost certainly will have Bullet Club Gold teammate Jay White close at hand.

Plus we’ll hear from The Elite, who have more unfinished business with Blackpool Combat Club, to say the least.

All this plus probably some well deserved victory laps over AEW’s impressive advance ticket sales for All In London are set for tonight at 8 p.m. ET on TBS. Tune in or join us here at Wrestling Junkie tonight to see how everything plays out.

AEW Dynamite results: Sammy Guevara, MJF hose Darby Allin but get some bad news afterward

Who won the final match of the Four Pillars tournament on AEW Dynamite?

Sammy Guevara is accompanied by wife Tay Melo, but only as far as the stage. MJF follows him out but heads over to join the announcers, saying he’s there to support “one of the best friends I’ve had in my entire life.” He hands out pickles to Taz and company.

Allin grabs a side headlock, then continues to work holds that take Guevara down to the mat. He springboards into an arm drag, then takes the fight back to the mat again.

Tony Schiavone is floored they are discussing pickles while a high stakes match is underway. Allin gets a cloverleaf applied but Guevara reaches the ropes, then rakes the eyes so he can finally get some offense going.

Guevara signals he’s going to try for something crazy from the apron, but Allin never lets him attempt anything. Sammy responds with a mule kick to force Darby to the floor, then hits a moonsault and strikes a pose on the floor to the delight of MJF.

Nothing too insane happens during picture-in-picture, but Allin diving through the ropes right into a cutter from a waiting Guevara kind of qualifies. Sammy goes under the ring for a table, which … we guess is OK in this match? The fans approve, anyway.

Guevara ends up on the table, with Allin menacingly heading up top. But Melo is on the apron for a timely distraction, and Guevara delivers a Spanish Fly for a two count.

Now it’s Allin on the table as Guevara climbs. He hits the 630 senton to drive Allin through the table, and the announcers are acting like it’s over.

Of course, Darby beats the ref’s 10 count and even has enough left in the tank to dodge a corner charge and connect on a shotgun dropkick. MJF, however, throws Allin his skateboard, Guevara acts like he’s been hit with it, and the ref quickly calls for the bell.

Jack Perry hustles down to prevent a post-match assault, but Allin seems upset he wasn’t out there sooner. MJF mocks both of them, but Tony Schiavone has some news: Tony Khan has announced a tag team match for next week on Dynamite. If Allin and Perry win, both of them are added to the title match at Double or Nothing.

AEW Dynamite live results: The battle for Takeshita’s soul turns bloody

Plus there’s two title matches and an appearance by Tony Khan.

It’s time to find MJF a top contender once and for all tonight on AEW Dynamite from Sunrise, Fla.

You may recall that the AEW World Champion has been called one of the Four Pillars of the company, and that the other three all made it clear they’d like a shot at his title. MJF skillfully played them off against each other, even aiding Sammy Guevara in defeating “Jungle Boy” Jack Perry.

But now Guevara is just a victory over Darby Allin away from getting that title shot himself. Is having Sammy win part of MJF’s plan too, or does he have another trick up his sleeve?

There are also two title matches on the AEW Dynamite card tonight. Jade Cargill will put both her TBS Championship and her undefeated record on the line against Taya Valkyrie, possibly her most powerful opponent to date. And since it’s another week, it must mean another Orange Cassidy title defense, this time against Bandido.

Also, as you may have heard Tony Khan will be appearing on this week’s episode as well. Is he about to confirm to the world that we’ll all be watching two more hours of AEW action every week on Saturday night? Or is this particular announcement about something else?

There’s only one way to find out, and that’s to tune in tonight at 8 p.m. on TBS. Well, actually two ways, because you can also return to this post as we update it with AEW Dynamite live results as they happen from Sunrise.

  • MJF and Guevara are furious, but Sammy gets left behind as MJF leaves the building
  • “Jericho, I know you can hear me you son of a bitch!” Cole swears he will beat Jericho within an inch of his life, but all he gets is The Ocho on the big screen sending the JAS to the ring … but Cassidy, Bandido and the debuting Roderick Strong help even the odds and clear the ring

AEW Dynamite results: Sammy Guevara, MJF put one over on Jack Perry

Jack Perry learned the hard way that MJF was willing to aid Sammy Guevara to advance in the Four Pillars Tournament.

Tax mentions that Jack Perry is on a 10-match win streak, but Sammy Guevara matches him move for move in the opening minutes. They battle on the apron until Perry knocks Guevara down, but Sammy is up quickly with a knee strike. A Spanish Fly to the floor ushers in some picture-in-picture ads.

They battle back to the ring during the quiet time, where Perry connects on a comeback lariat as Darby Allin watches from a high vantage point. Perry wants a sunset flip powerbomb to the floor, then switches gears and powerbombs Sammy on the apron instead.

Perry leaps off the top rope and flows right into a Destroyer, which is pretty impressive, but Guevara kicks out.

Sammy spikes Jack on his head with a DDT, but his bid for a GTH is countered with a reverse hurricanrana. Guevara hits a poison rana but Perry lands a big right hand in response, and the ref begins his 10 count since both men are down.

They’re up to their knees now, slapping each other in the face. Same story on the feet, through Perry breaks the chain with the Snare Trap, and Sammy has to crawl to the ropes to break the hold.

Both men have thoughts of going up top, but Perry ends up getting blasted off the turnbuckle with a dropkick and flies down through the timekeeper’s table.

As the ref counts, Guevara grabs the ref so MJF can lay out Perry on the floor with his Dynamite Diamond Ring. The ref restarts his count, Perry is out cold, and MJF rushes in to hug Guevara as their plot succeeded. Allin can only shake his head while watching from the upper deck, knowing he’s probably going to face the same thing next week.

AEW Dynamite results: MJF, Sammy Guevara conspire against the other Pillars

Plus Jay White vs. Komander, a big women’s tag team match, Adam Cole and Chris Jericho face to face, and more.

Pittsburgh, where you at? AEW Dynamite rolls into the hometown of all things black and yellow, as well as Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D., for two hours of action headlined by a “the Earth will shake” type of confrontation between two very muscular gentlemen.

One of those is Powerhouse Hobbs, current holder of the AEW TNT Championship. The other is Wardlow, the man Hobbs beat to get the title in the first place. As Jim Ross might say, this has the makings of a slobberknocker.

Also in action tonight is King Switch himself, Jay White. He’s already stirring up waves since arriving in AEW, what with beating down Ricky Starks and declaring a new, possibly-not-OK-with-the-original version of Bullet Club. But he is going to wrestle too, and he’ll do that in Dynamite for the first time against Komander.

Oh, and Baker isn’t sitting this episode out either, not by a long shot. She and AEW Women’s World Champion Jamie Hayter have about had enough of The Outcasts, so they’re going to try to do something about it by facing Ruby Soho and Toni Storm. Do they have an ace up their sleeves if Saraya decides to interfere? One would hope.

We’ll also get to see The Acclaimed in action with Daddy Ass against the Jericho Appreciation Society, Chris Jericho and Adam Cole will have a face-to-face showdown of some sort, and we’ll hear from FTR and The Elite. Lots of fighting, lots of talking about fighting. Which is just the way we like it, honestly.

All of it goes down on TBS at 8 p.m. ET, and in a change from most weeks, live on the west coast at that same time, 5 p.m. PT. If you can’t watch, please consider hopping back here for AEW Dynamite live results ’cause we’ll be serving them up all evening.

  • “It’s not called the Sting Appreciation Society.” Darby Allin thinks Sammy Guevara is being held back, believes Jack Perry is part of a “hand-picked California clique,” and all the Pillars end up taking shots at each other, so MJF says Perry and Guevara will wrestle each other tonight as part of a “Pillars Tournament” to decide who gets a title shot at Double or Nothing
