00:00Welcome back to A.W. Dynamite live on TBS, I am Excalibur, joined by Tony Schiavone.
00:06The Human Suplex Machine Taz and standing by inside the ring, the Daffrey F from Justin Roberts.
00:12It's basketball with a 30 minute time limit and it's for the TBS Championship.
00:21Introducing first, from Boston, Massachusetts, she is the A.J.B.W. Strong Women's Champion
00:27and the reigning TBS Champion, the C.E.O. Mercedes Mane.
00:39As we found out the last few minutes, Tony, Mercedes Mane, after putting up an open challenge
00:45for the TBS Championship for anybody but Britt, has had Dr. Britt Baker DMD banned from the backstage area here.
00:53Well, it's one of those things that she can, I guess, get our EVPs to do.
01:00And how about what the EVPs had to say about all the championships.
01:06Jack Perry's got the TNT title and they have the World Tag Team Championship.
01:10Kazuki Okada, the Continental Championship.
01:14After that long dive shot by you, I've got to tell you, after that long dance by Mercedes,
01:18it's a good chance Okada passed out backstage.
01:21Introducing the champion, from Washington, D.C., the Native Beast, Nyla Rose.
01:32It's going to be a great contrast in style, thanks, Caliber.
01:35Nyla Rose, the second ever AEW Women's World Champion, the first woman to 100 wins in AEW history,
01:42narrowly edging out Hikaru Shida.
01:45And this past Saturday night, picking up a dominant victory on collision
01:50and then calling out the CEO.
01:53This is the problem with an open challenge, Tony.
01:55You don't know who's going to answer.
01:57And sometimes, it's the Native Beast.
01:59And clearly, yes, a former champion, like you said.
02:01She's won five of her last six matches.
02:04And right before the referee took the title from Mercedes, you guys were speaking,
02:11but I looked at Mercedes' face and she was very concerned, hugging that championship.
02:17Mercedes understands the massive threat that's in front of her and her title right now.
02:23And Mercedes, you can tell.
02:24You can tell, yeah.
02:25Yeah, the body language, not there.
02:28Mercedes giving up quite a bit of size and strength to her opponent
02:33as she was trying to do was back her up with that lock-up,
02:37and Mercedes couldn't do it.
02:40And instead, Mercedes walking up the ropes, pawing boot into the face.
02:46And somebody check on Kazuchika Okada's blood pressure here.
02:54Still to come tonight, our main event facing Swerve Strickland,
02:57one-on-one for the first time ever.
03:00Just flung her off.
03:03And Mercedes saying, I'm sorry to Nyla Rose with the drop toehold.
03:07Nyla into the center strand.
03:09That's what she's got to do, get Nyla down, get her off her feet.
03:12Mercedes hammering down with those kicks.
03:15Nyla, face first.
03:17Top turnbuckle on Mercedes once again, trying to chop down the larger opponent.
03:27Fans still to come tonight, you hear from Mariah May for the first time
03:31since her shocking betrayal, timeless Toni Storm,
03:33since Mariah won the Owen Hart Foundation Women's Tournament
03:37and earned her shot at Toni Storm at Wembley Stadium, all in London.
03:40And as I was mentioning, our main event, Swerve Strickland, Kazuchika Okada,
03:44one-on-one ahead of next week's Blood & Guts match.
03:48Well, that one is going to be heated, but Mercedes finds her feet,
03:53chops out the back of the knee of Nyla Rose.
03:56And now Mercedes goes around looking for DDT.
04:00No, that didn't work. Too powerful, Nyla.
04:03Have you lost your mind?
04:06Nyla giving Mercedes an earful, and now laying the TVS champion on the top rope.
04:13This is happening right here. This is what Nyla's going to do here.
04:16She likes that flying guillotine, the big knee drop off the top,
04:23and connects! Mercedes spun for a loop!
04:29Nyla looking for the cover here.
04:32One, two, no!
04:34And Mercedes kicks out, and this continues in picture-in-picture.
04:41You saw Mercedes right there.
04:43She is hurting and trying to catch her breath after that.
04:48And Nyla giving the champion no room to breathe,
04:51hammering down with that elbow strike to the top of the head.
04:54And now into the backbreaker.
04:58This is where the size disparity comes into play, Taz.
05:02Nyla able to literally bend her opponent in half.
05:06Absolutely, and Nyla knows how to exploit that and take advantage of that.
05:11Her power is over her opponent's, and as we've been pointing out,
05:15definitely a size disadvantage here.
05:18And now a backbreaker by the challenger.
05:21Oh, man. Straight up torture rack there, center of the ring.
05:25That worked. Shuffled her feet there, got a wider vertical base that time as well.
05:31And you saw Mercedes fighting at the grip of Nyla Rose,
05:34dropping to her back, trying to look for an arm drag.
05:37Mercedes likes to employ those lucha libre techniques.
05:41Everything, to your point, Xcalibur, everything that Mercedes is trying,
05:46it's just falling apart. She got out of the way.
05:49And Nyla's momentum carried her shoulder first into the ring post,
05:53and then Mercedes comes in, flat of her boot, into the jaw of the challenger.
05:58I wouldn't wait here, Mercedes.
05:59I would definitely keep the pressure on the challenger.
06:03She's got her off her feet.
06:06Mercedes, knees in the corner.
06:10Now bringing the challenger out.
06:13Good distribution of weight on the larger opponent's shoulders,
06:16but Nyla's still powerful enough to kick out.
06:18Yeah, unique cover. I think that was smart.
06:20Even though it didn't work by Mercedes, instead of hooking the leg,
06:22I think that was a smart cover.
06:25Yeah, CEO very savvy.
06:29Training around the world.
06:31Competitors of all sizes and styles.
06:35So when you do that, you definitely become very diverse
06:39in wrestling different type of styles here.
06:42And we're seeing now Mercedes turn it up.
06:46Shevon is laying out to a live, I guess, back on regular television.
06:49I'm just enjoying both of them.
06:51That's just how this works?
06:52And then just talk, so I can't talk?
06:55That's right, dude.
06:57He's been narrated down to right hands,
07:00onto the head of Nyla Rose.
07:02But Nyla, thinking powerbomb out of the corner,
07:06maybe thinking beastbomb, but instead Mercedes counters.
07:10And now Mercedes, knees off the ropes to Nyla.
07:16Able to kick out.
07:17Frustrations right there.
07:18What do you think of that, Tony, Shevonnie?
07:21Yeah.
07:22Attaboy.
07:23I mean, I like that you specified Tony, Shevonnie.
07:25Few people know that my government name is Tony Excalibur,
07:28so I'm glad that you clarified it.
07:30We have a lot of Tonys here, especially the big boss.
07:33Abdominal stretch.
07:34I didn't expect to see Mercedes do this.
07:36I got it, Shevonnie.
07:37I didn't expect to see this.
07:38I'll take care of it.
07:39It's all good.
07:40You just lay out, wait for her back live here.
07:44Don't worry.
07:45He's waiting to talk over Minoru Suzuki's theme song next week.
07:48And everybody else who speaks.
07:52Look at those elbows.
07:53Pointy elbows.
07:55Good job, Jazz.
07:57You suck, bro.
08:03He's going to be able to take his back and break.
08:05I got him there.
08:10Dynamite 250, the TBS championship on the line.
08:13Nyla Rose, the challenger, is fading in the grip of Mercedes Monet, the CEO.
08:19First real big offensive maneuver here by maneuvering.
08:23Give up, Nyla.
08:24Try again, Tony.
08:25He waited for her back on live TV and couldn't even get her out.
08:27I'll take care of it.
08:29The CEO, man, she's got the challenger.
08:31Fixing to choke her out.
08:32Legs are in, rear choke.
08:34Power has been helping.
08:35But look at how it rolls.
08:36Nyla changing her grip.
08:38Now the CEO snap suplex.
08:41Well done.
08:42Well done, Rose.
08:46Now she's got to follow up with something here, Taz.
08:50Well, the opportunity is definitely there.
08:53Nyla.
08:54Uh-oh.
08:55Cleaner clock with that one.
08:57She even telegraphed him.
08:58Still got him there.
09:00That's Nyla charging into the corner.
09:02Splash.
09:04Mercedes.
09:05Oh, brother.
09:06Dropping down.
09:09Cannonball run.
09:10CEO's in trouble.
09:12And a cannonball in the corner.
09:16Nyla pulls Mercedes out.
09:18We have a new champion.
09:20Well, that shows you how tough the TBS champion is.
09:24Mercedes right there kicking out because Nyla put some heavy offense on her.
09:28Taz, you touched on it during the break in Picture in Picture.
09:32Mercedes Manet, she trained around the world against opponents of a variety of sizes,
09:36variety of styles.
09:38She's a great counter wrestler.
09:39And right there, a kick to the ankle bringing the larger opponent down.
09:44Into the splash.
09:45Mercedes.
09:46And then capitalizing there, Shivani.
09:48You saw it with that splash.
09:49And she's coming up.
09:50Got her down.
09:51Keep her down.
09:52You know, you mentioned that scout of her championships, the TBS championship,
09:56her ninth title in her 14-year career.
09:59And a meteora.
10:00Mercedes.
10:02Two, three.
10:03No.
10:04Nyla.
10:05Almost retaining her title as the CEO.
10:09And she's pretty upset because she thought for sure that was it.
10:13But remember, Nyla Rose, she's been here in AEW since day one,
10:17all 250 episodes of Dynamite.
10:19Even before that, all the way back to the original, double or nothing.
10:23It would mean so much for Nyla to win the TBS championship tonight
10:27on this milestone event.
10:31And an inventive way to get Mercedes up into the ropes.
10:36Especially after what we've just seen.
10:37Can you imagine another title change here tonight?
10:40I mean, it could happen.
10:42Right.
10:44As Mercedes and Nyla in the ropes.
10:48Avalanche bulldog.
10:52As Mercedes.
10:53What's this here?
10:54Oh.
10:55Digging into a glove with, I believe, CEO on it.
11:00And nails.
11:01Interesting.
11:02Marking Dr. Britt Baker's EMT.
11:05Absolutely.
11:06That's what's happening.
11:07She can do that now with Britt Band.
11:11Definitely marking Britt Baker.
11:13She's got the scuba lockjaw.
11:15I think so.
11:16The lockjaw cinched in.
11:18And look at that.
11:19Nyla's biting down on the hand.
11:21Mercedes, she doesn't know how to put pressure on that mandibular nerve.
11:25Britt Baker's a dentist.
11:26She's a doctor.
11:27She knows.
11:28But Mercedes knows how to put lock in the statement maker.
11:31We are going to get her here, I think.
11:32Statement maker cinched in.
11:34And Nyla forced to tap out.
11:40The winner of this match and still TVS champion,
11:45the CEO, Mercedes Mane.
11:50While she may not be a dentist,
11:53Mercedes Mane is still the New Japan Strong Women's World Champion
11:59and the TVS champion here tonight with her victory over Nyla Rhone.
12:03Definitely momentum for the champ.
12:07Monet Rowland.
12:09That is a DMV sign, a Britt Baker sign.
12:20Hostile strike.
12:21In the middle of the doctor.
12:24And look at the CEO.
12:27Making a break for it.
12:30Security coming out.
12:31Security.
12:33Trying to form a wall, trying to separate DMV and CEO.
12:42And Britt Baker, she might have been banned from the backstage area,
12:46but she was not banned from buying a ticket to sit on that ringside.
12:50But fans, let's take you back to one week ago.
12:54The explosive conclusion of Dynamite.
12:57Pun intended.
