AEW Dynamite results: Orange Cassidy wins last ever All-Atlantic title match, Hobbs is golden

Get live AEW Dynamite results for March 8, 2023 in Sacramento, with two championship matches on the card.

If there’s a harder working champion in major pro wrestling right now than Orange Cassidy, we don’t know who it is. In stark contrast to his laidback vibe, Freshly Squeezed puts his All-Atlantic Championship on the line at just about every opportunity (he’s made 13 defenses since winning it last October), as he’ll do again tonight on AEW Dynamite from Sacramento.

What makes this time different is that it’s a rubber match of sorts. Jay Lethal has already had one crack at Cassidy’s title and came up short, but he also pinned Orange last August in their only other singles match. If Lethal can grab a victory on Dynamite, he’ll win not only the championship but also some bragging rights, and he’ll almost certainly have Jeff Jarrett, Satnam Singh and Sonjay Dutt in his corner to aid in that effort.

Another title is also on the line in Sacramento, as Wardlow squares off with Powerhouse Hobbs. Wardlow just reclaimed the TNT Championship at Revolution, and Hobbs won his shot in the Face of the Revolution ladder match just prior. Something obviously has to give in this battle of two very large, muscular men.

Other matches on this week’s Dynamite card include Blackpool Combat Club vs. Dark Order, Top Flight and AR Fox vs. the Jericho Appreciation Society, and Ruby Soho vs. Skye Blue. Plus we’ll hear from Hangman Adam Page for the first time since his brutal but triumphant Texas Death match with Jon Moxley at Revolution. Wonder if the cowboy has his eyes on a meeting with the world champ sometime soon …

AEW Dynamite results in 60 seconds:

  • Orange Cassidy def. Jay Lethal by pinfall to retain the AEW All-Atlantic Championship, then gets attacked by Jeff Jarrett afterward
  • Powerhouse Hobbs says it’s too bad Wardlow had his car broken into and his belt stolen, because tonight he’s going to take the only thing he has left way from him too when he wins the TNT title
  • Ricky Starks was having a hell of a week … until he gets laid out by Juice Robinson
  • Wardlow says since he doesn’t have his gear or the physical belt, why don’t they make his match with Hobbs Falls Count Anywhere, Anything Goes?
  • Renee Paquette asks Ruby Soho why, and she blames the fans
  • Ruby Soho def. Skye Blue by pinfall, then spray paints her and Willow Nightingale with help from Toni Storm and Saraya
  • Hangman Adam Page tells Paquette that his heart went black on Sunday not because he wanted it to but because he needed it to, and he apologizes to Renee for what she had to see while saying things are done between him and Jon Moxley
  • A bloody MJF is shown cutting a promo after his victory at Revolution, looking forward to his birthday on March 15 and his “re-Bar Mitzvah” in Winnipeg
  • Tony Schiavone spends some time in the ring with FTR, who really want, no need, to beat The Gunns
  • Jade Cargill tells Paquette there are no challenges left but wants the best possible opponent Canada has to offer next week
  • Jericho Appreciation Society (Chris Jericho, Sammy Guevara and Daniel Garcia) def. Top Flight and AR Fox by pinfall
  • The JAS makes its case for being the No. 1 contenders for the trios title, but The Elite has something to say about that, and the House of Black tells both teams to come get them
  • Tony Khan says Cassidy will face Jarrett next week, when the All-Atlantic Championship will “level up” to become the International Championship
  • Bryan Danielson cuts his own post-Revolution promo, saying that he tapped out because to keep fighting would have proved MJF right by putting himself before his family … and he says it’s time for him to go home
  • Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli def. Alex Reynolds and John Silver by submission, and Hangman Adam Page gets clobbered by the whole BCC when he tries to help his friends after the bell
  • The Acclaimed says they are on the road back to the tag team titles, and they laugh off a challenge from Matt Menard and Angelo Parker
  • Powerhouse Hobbs def. Wardlow  by 10 count in a Falls Count Anywhere match for the AEW TNT Championship, with some unexpected help from QT Marshall

Opening Bell: Hit the trumpets, John Cena returns to Raw

Get set for the week in WWE and AEW with Opening Bell: quick previews of Raw, SmackDown, Dynamite and Rampage.

Welcome to the Opening Bell, where we round up what’s been announced for WWE (Raw and SmackDown) and AEW (Dynamite and Rampage) programming for the week we’ve just begun.

WWE Raw preview – Monday, March 6, TD Garden, Boston

OK, OK, no big writeup needed, right? We all know John Cena is back on Raw in his hometown, which is a big deal. Everyone expects him to begin the groundwork for a WrestleMania match against Austin Theory.

But WWE has actually revealed quite a bit more for this week’s show. Jimmy Uso has been tasked with ending the Sami Zayn problem for the Bloddline, and he’ll get a chance to do that in Boston. Kevin Owens, meanwhile, will collide with the group’s enforcer, Solo Sikoa.

There’s lots more in store as well, including:

AEW Dynamite preview – Wednesday, March 8, Golden 1 Center, Sacramento

Are there any drops of blood left unspilled by the AEW roster? If so, they may need them for the next stop on the California swing, as Dynamite rolls into Sacramento for the fallout from Revolution.

There’s even fallout from prior to the PPV, as Wardlow will get no rest after winning the TNT Championship. That’s because California’s own Powerhouse Hobbs is coming for that belt after winning the Face of the Revolution ladder match, and even Wardlow probably should be wary of that.

There’s bound to be much more announced for Wednesday, so keep an eye on AEW’s social channels, assuming Twitter decides to keep working.

WWE SmackDown preview – Friday, March 10, PPG Paints Arena, Pittsburgh

It’s the home of Kurt Angle, though we don’t expect the Olympic hero to make an appearance on this visit. What we do know is that Braun Strowman and Ricochet will continue their odd couple pairing as they face off with the Viking Raiders.

And a Fatal Five-Way will have big stakes for WrestleMania. Drew McIntyre, Sheamus, Kofi Kingston, Karrion Kross and LA Knight will all try to emerge victorious, with the prize a bit of good news, bad news: a match at Mania … but against dominant Intercontinental Champion Gunther.

Good luck with that!

AEW Rampage preview – Wednesday, March 10, Golden 1 Center, Sacramento (recorded on March 8)

Ha, yeah, with so much uncertainty as the week begins about what’s going to be on Dynamite, we have zero clue what will take place on Rampage. It’s also in Sacramento and will be taped on Wednesday night, so we’ll have a good idea about what to expect by that night.

AEW Revolution results: MJF outlasts Bryan Danielson in OT

Get live AEW Revolution results all night leading up to the main event 60-minute Iron Man match between MJF and Bryan Danielson.

Can AEW World Champion MJF go the distance with an opponent who is arguably the best wrestler on the planet?

All AEW pay-per-views have questions that are answered as the events unfold, but AEW Revolution 2023 has one that’s bigger than most. No one has any doubts about MJF as an entertainer, as his talent there is apparent. In the ring, he’s shown a lot so far as well.

But his prior work in AEW pales in comparison to what he’s about to do at the Chase Center in San Francisco. Bryan Danielson is quite simply a master of his craft, someone who has done and still can do it all in the ring.

Going an hour with the American Dragon is impressive enough. Winning? That might be something that changes opinions of MJF, even among people who still hate the character he portrays.

Even with that main event taking up a full hour, Revolution looks like much more than a one-match card. The women’s division will have an intriguing three-way battle for its top title when Jamie Hayter defends against both Saraya and Ruby Soho. The former is definitely an enemy, while the latter has been trying to avoid taking sides, but both will be stiff challenges.

The World Trios Championship and World Tag Team Championship will both be on the line at Revolution, as will the TNT Championship when Samoa Joe tries to hold off an angry Wardlow. “Jungle Boy” Jack Perry and Christian Cage will try to bury each other, perhaps literally. And Jon Moxley and Hangman Adam Page will go at it one more time in what promises to be a bloody Texas Death match.

AEW Revolution 2023 results:

  • Ricky Starks def. Chris Jericho by pinfall
  • “Jungle Boy” Jack Perry def. Christian Cage in The Final Burial
  • House of Black def. The Elite by pinfall to become the new AEW World Trios Champions
  • Jamie Hayter def. Saraya and Ruby Soho to retain the AEW Women’s Championship, with Soho choosing to side with Saraya and Toni Storm after the match
  • Hangman Adam Page def. Jon Moxley by submission in a Texas Death match
  • Wardlow def. Samoa Joe by submission to become the new AEW TNT Champion
  • The Gunns def. Jay Lethal and Jeff Jarrett, Orange Cassidy and Danhausen and The Acclaimed to retain the AEW World Tag Team Championship
  • FTR comes to the ring to brawl with The Gunns, hitting both of the champs with signature moves and picking up the tag team title belts
  • MJF def. Bryan Danielson 4-3 in sudden death of a 60-minute Iron Man match to retain the AEW World Championship

Please scroll down for more details on each match.

AEW Dynamite results: Hobbs grabs the ring, Danhausen is clutch, MJF is speechless

Get live AEW Dynamite results for March 1, 2023, with the Face of the Revolution Ladder Match and Casino Tag Team Battle Royale.

Sometimes AEW just mashes the gas ahead of a pay-per-view and it’s kind of bonkers for the better part of a week. That feeling is setting in again as the Cow Palace welcomes the final AEW Dynamite ahead of Revolution this weekend.

That card, as you might have heard, will be headlined by a 60-minute Iron Man match between MJF and Bryan Danielson with the former’s beloved Triple B belt (better known as the AEW World Championship) at stake. It’s only logical, then, that both men will be on tonight’s show to have what’s certain to be one more explosive face-to-face meeting before they go to war on Sunday.

There’s also going to be a wild match tonight that is usually part of Revolution proper. Perhaps because the main event is going an hour, the Face of the Revolution Ladder match got bumped to free TV. That’s good news for anyone tuning in tonight, however, as it’s sure to be something of a spectacle.

Another Revolution bout that still needs to have its last question mark replaced is the four-way tag team championship match. We’ll find out who’s joining The Gunns, The Acclaimed and Jay Lethal and Jeff Jarrett in that one after the Casino Tag Team Battle Royale on Dynamite.

Oh, and there are two championship matched tonight as well. Orange Cassidy gets a (very) big test in the form of Big Bill to retain his All-Atlantic Championship, while Hook puts his FTW Championship on the line against Matt Hardy.

AEW Dynamite results in 60 seconds:

  • Orange Cassidy def. Big Bill by pinfall to retain the AEW All-Atlantic Championship
  • A bloodied Jon Moxley cuts a promo after his match last week and warns Hangman Adan Page only one of them is coming out of their Texas Deathmatch
  • The Elite can’t even get through their entrance music before the lights go out and they brawl with House of Black in the dark, ending with the House holding their belts as all three men are laid out
  • Powerhouse Hobbs wins the Face of the Revolution Ladder Match, then laughs as Wardlow comes looking for Samoa Joe, to the detriment of numerous security guards
  • With Best Friends not medically cleared to compete, Danhausen and Orange Cassidy are going to take their place
  • Chris Jericho def. Peter Avalon by pinfall, then masterminds an assault by the JAS on Ricky Starks
  • Hangman Adam Page says there’s nothing else Mox can take away from him, but he plans on taking everything away from Moxley on Sunday
  • Renee Paquette calls out Christian Cage for a conversation, but his challenge to Jack Perry for a “fight” at Revolution is answered ominously
  • Jamie Hayter says it will be fun beating two opponents on Sunday, while Britt Baker seems to be looking forward to it too
  • Hook def. Matt Hardy by submission to retain the FTW Championship
  • The House of Black lays down The Elite’s titles but says the champs have already lost even before they meet Sunday
  • Riho def. Toni Storm by pinfall
  • Keith Lee and Dustin Rhodes are ready to get a piece of the Mogul Affiliates on Rampage
  • Orange Cassidy and Danhausen win the Casino Tag Team Battle Royale
  • Bryan Danielson, MJF face off one more time, but it’s Danielson who gets all the last words

AEW Revolution 2023: Start time, card, predictions and more

AEW Revolution in San Francisco is the first AEW PPV of 2023. Here’s everything you need to know, including date, start time and card.

If you were to ask a pro wrestling fan what AEW Revolution is all about, they’d probably respond with something like, “well, it’s the first AEW pay-per-view of the year!”

Indeed it is. Though Revolution hasn’t had much of a chance to build up its own unique identity yet — in large part due to it being affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in two years of its brief history — it has some built-in importance as the PPV that really kicks a year in AEW into gear.

It also has a history of AEW World Championship main events, and the 2023 event should be no different. MJF hasn’t held the title all that long, but he’ll get a test worthy of a legendary reign: a 60-minute Iron Man match against Bryan Danielson. It’s the kind of bout that automatically makes fans think better of anyone who turns in a top notch performance, so it stands the chance of boosting MJF’s in-ring status to the same level of esteem his microphone work is held in.

The length of that match means this card might be slightly lower in terms of number of matches than a typical Revolution (there were 13 bouts last year, including those on the pre-show). That said, there could be more added even in this final week.

We’ll add those if needed, but for now, here’s everything you need to know for Revolution in San Francisco.

AEW Dynamite results: Ruby wins but has had it with women’s division turmoil

Live AEW Dynamite results for Feb. 15, 2023 from Laredo, TX, including a three-way battle between Toni Storm, Britt Baker and Ruby Soho.

It’s time for the first part of a little Texas two-step for AEW. Tonight it’s Dynamite from Laredo, and the path to Revolution should start getting a bit more clearly illuminated.

But the highlight of tonight’s show should be the in-ring action, which will be plentiful and varied. The headline bout is a Texas Tornado tag team match (never more appropriate than when it’s, you know, really in Texas) that features Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli going up against Rush and Preston Vance.

Want an even bigger tag team match? We’ve got that too. Orange Cassidy, The Acclaimed and Daddy Ass are on one side of it, with Jeff Jarrett, Jay Lethal, Satnam Singh and Sonjay Dutt on the other.

The women’s division has been full of intrigue, and Ruby Soho has been in the middle of most of it. She’ll experience that in the most direct way possible in Laredo, as she’s slated to be in a three-way dance that also involves Toni Storm and Britt Baker. Is this the night where Soho will have to pick a side?

There’s much more, as well. Even AEW World Champion MJF will appear, even though he’s made it clear he’d rather not. Will be run scared again from his Revolution opponent, Bryan Danielson, or has he finally found his courage ahead of the pay-per-view?

AEW Dynamite results in 60 seconds:

  • Orange Cassidy, Daddy Ass and The Acclaimed def. Jeff Jarrett, Jay Lethal, Satnam Singh and Sonjay Dutt by pinfall
  • Bryan Danielson thinks MJF is scared and desperate, which … perhaps
  • Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli def. Rush and Preston Vance by submission
  • The Butcher and The Blade attack Hangman Adam Page backstage, who was busy watching the previous match
  • Wardlow tells Jim Ross a personal story about his dad and how Samoa Joe used some personal knowledge of his younger days against him
  • Mark Briscoe def. Josh Woods by pinfall
  • Adam Cole tells Renee Paquette when he’s cleared to return, he has a few ideas of who he’d like to face
  • MJF reluctantly makes his appearance to run down Danielson again, but Christopher Daniels won’t join in with him, even for big money
  • The Gunns brag about winning the tag team titles and say Revolution will be The Gunn Show
  • “Jungle Boy” Jack Perry def. Brian Cage by pinfall, but is confronted by a returning Christian Cage, who maces him and delivers the Killswitch on the ramp
  • The Acclaimed says they will invoke their rematch clause and take the tag team titles back at Revolution
  • The Elite talk NBA All-Star weekend and accept another challenge from Top Flight and AR Fox for Rampage
  • Hangman Adam Page def. Kip Sabian by pinfall
  • The Blackpool Combat Club comes to the ring and surrounds Page, and Moxley tells Hangman to let things go between them … but Page says they can settling things at Revolution, and Evil Uno ends up getting in Moxley’s face before Mox proposes a Texas Death match
  • Chris Jericho says another match for Ricky Starks isn’t going to happen, but Daniel Garcia looks forward to facing him Friday on Rampage
  • Stokely Hathaway says Hook broke his arm, and he and The Firm laugh it up when Tony Schaivone says Hook has been suspended pending investigation
  • Ruby Soho def. Toni Storm and Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. by pinning Baker

AEW Rampage results: Wardlow welcomes Matt Taven to AEW

Check out full AEW Rampage results for the live episode on October 28, 2022 from Uncasville, CT.

It’s another live version of AEW Rampage, the best possible kind. And if you’re going to do a live show on a Friday night, you might want to bring a title match to the party.

So that’s exactly what the fans at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT are getting. Mr. Mayhem himself, Wardlow, is set to put his TNT Championship on the line, and hey, it’s even on TNT this time.

The challenger, Matt Taven, is fairly new to AEW, having only recently arrived with the rest of The Kingdom. But Wardlow isn’t likely to cut him any slack for that, as he’ll look to treat Taven to a front row seat to the Powerbomb Symphony.

AEW World Champion Jon Moxley is also in action against “Daddy Magic” Matt Menard, though that should be light work for Mox. But this is a legit card, so let’s see how it all plays out.

AEW Rampage results in 30 seconds:

  • Jon Moxley def. Matt Menard by submission
  • Stokely Hathaway says he has a tougher test from The Firm for Moxley, challenging him to take on Lee Moriarty next week on Dynamite
  • Jade Cargill cuts a promo
  • Keith Lee squashes Serpentico by pinfall in about 10 seconds, then has to answer some questions from The Acclaimed about the whereabouts of Billy Gunn … who has been kidnapped by Swerve Strickland and tortured with pliers
  • Tay Melo def. Madison Rayne by pinfall
  • Ethan Page says MJF decided by himself to change plans and try to do everything by himself, but Page reminds him that Max didn’t become the No. 1 contender by himself, so they changed plans and did a favor for Jon Moxley … and Page plans to win the AEW World Championship eliminator tournament
  • Wardlow def. Matt Taven by pinfall to retain the AEW TNT Championship
  • The Kingdom attacks Wardlow after the bell, but Samoa Joe comes to the rescue … only to be attacked in turn by Powerhouse Hobbs and The Embassy

AEW Rampage results: Rush might have a Hangman problem

Get quick AEW Rampage results for the September 30, 2022 episode from Philadelphia.

One thing about AEW Rampage is that it keeps things moving.

Wrestling Junkie was on hand for AEW Dynamite and Rampage in Philadelphia on Wednesday and saw it for ourselves. Yes, it still definitely feels like a ‘B’ show, but it’s tight because its only an hour, so there’s no real down time. It’s match to segment to match at a brisk pace.

The Philadelphia crowd stayed pretty live too, even though it was hanging in through more than three hours of wrestling by the end of the night. But Philly always represents, legitimately one of the best wrestling markets anywhere.

In any case, even though we’ve known for two days what would happen tonight, it’s going to be fun to watch it back and check everything out. Let’s do it up.

AEW Rampage results in 30 seconds:

  • The Acclaimed def. Private Party and The Butcher and The Blade to retain the AEW World Tag Team Championship
  • The Gunn Club doubles down on their taunts to FTR form last week
  • Jade Cargill complains about her lack of competition, but maybe she’s getting some in the form of Nyla Rose
  • Lee Moriarty def. Fuego Del Sol by submission, and W. Morrissey roughs up Fuego some after the bell
  • Hangman Adam Page says he’s looking forward to his world title shot, and Andrade El Idolo comes by to try to recruit 10 again … and challenge him for his mask; Ethan Page also stops by to suggest Matt Hardy is contract tampering with Private Party
  • Jamie Hayter def. Willow Nightingale by pinfall
  • Maybe Wardlow and Samoa Joe are going to stay a tag team?
  • Hook comes out to shut up Ryan Nemeth by beating him down and choking him out, and the Trustbusters leave a contract for Hook that he ignores
  • Rush def. John Silver by pinfall, Dark Order tries to stop a La Faccion Ingobernable beatdown, but it’s Hangman who finally clears the ring, throwing down with Rush and teasing a match for the future (meaning next Wednesday at Dynamite) … and then giving Jose The Assistant the Buckshot

AEW All Out 2022 preview: Everything you need to know

Get set for Sunday with our AEW All Out 2022 preview, including predictions for what should and will probably happen in every match.

If bigger is better when it comes to pro wrestling pay-per-views, AEW All Out should be about as good as it gets.

AEW is throwing absolutely everything it has into the upcoming show at the Now Arena in Chicago (or more precisely, in the greater Chicago area), loading up the card in terms of both quantity and, hopefully, quality. Including the Zero Hour pre-show, a total of seven titles are on the line, as well as a future world championship shot in the Casino Ladder match.

Even when fate has thrown a late curveball or two, AEW has pivoted with regard to this show. Case in point: Thunder Rosa was slated to defend her AEW Women’s World Championship against Toni Storm, but got injured during the run-up to this weekend. No worries; now there’s a four-way battle for the interim championship that may be even more intriguing, featuring Storm, Hikaru Shida, Britt Baker and Jamie Hayter.

Topping the card is a world championship rematch between Jon Moxley and CM Punk. The two men met less than two weeks ago and surprised the wrestling world when Moxley squashed Punk, leading some to wonder if he had returned from injury too quickly. But this week’s Dynamite proved that it was simply wrestling being wrestling, with Punk needing a pep talk from a friend to prove he was still on top of his game enough to compete at the highest level.

Tony Khan admitted that it wasn’t the normal way he’d build up a world title match but thought it worked for these circumstances (and was good for Dynamite’s ratings, to boot). That could be said for All Out writ large to a certain extent, but there’s no question there is more pressure on this pay-per-view than normal with AEW’s larger competitor suddenly resurgent and holding its own big show on the same September weekend.

In the end, even if the consensus ends up being that All Out isn’t outstanding, it won’t be for a lack of trying on AEW’s part.

AEW All Out 2022

  • When: Sunday, Sept. 4
  • Where: Now Arena, Hoffman Estates, Ill.
  • Start time: 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT (Zero Hour pre-show starts one hour earlier)
  • How to watch: Via Bleacher Report or traditional PPV providers in the U.S.,  along with select movie theaters; through FITE TV internationally
  • Matches announced: 14 (including three on the Zero Hour pre-show)

Scroll down for previews and predictions for all main card matches; we’ll add one for the trios tournament final and any additional matches that get made after Rampage on Friday night.
