Transcript
00:00We are live tonight on Dynamite from Champaign, Illinois, where the action has gotten back into the ring, but unfortunately for Orange Castee, it has been all learning tree and Roderick Strong since.
00:14Yeah, during the break, as we know, and anybody who saw it, man, I mean, it was just a brawl with all these guys on the outside in the audience and everything. It was nuts.
00:23And Big Bill was picking up Orange Castee by his right arm.
00:27Yeah, maybe looking to neutralize that Orange Punch. Jericho ducks underneath. We heard Jericho still thinking about that $7,000 jacket that Orange Castee ruined in the Mimosa Mayhem match.
00:38Jericho looking to collect plus interest, but Orange Castee, can he get the hands in the pockets?
00:43Trying to break that grip, bring his hands down to break Jericho's grip with the full Nelson.
00:49Jericho's got it on pretty tight.
00:51Now you can see Jericho's, those fingers of Jericho's interlocked.
00:57Jericho hanging on. Oh, there we go.
00:59Got one hand in, got the second, and using it for leverage to break the grip on the full Nelson, but a drop kick takes down.
01:07Oh, watch out. Jericho, Big Bill looking for the elbow drop, nobody home, but Roderick Strong grabbing the boot.
01:14A lot of history between Roderick Strong and Chris Jericho as well.
01:17Absolutely one of the most unorthodox pro wrestlers you're going to find is Orange Castee, but man, he's a really super talented dude.
01:24And now here comes another talented dude in Briscoe and BK.
01:28No, well, maybe not.
01:29Now Mark Briscoe, important in that redneck kung fu on Jericho and Brian Keith.
01:34ROH World Champion and a young man that certainly has a great lineage in Ring of Honor, as we know.
01:44That was a big double noggin knock there by Briscoe. He's got a two-on-one situation.
01:48Enziguri connects on Brian Keith, Chris Jericho.
01:52Oh, look at this. First time we've ever seen Jericho and Briscoe, two great world champions, in the ring together.
01:59Jericho, a former Ring of Honor world champion himself, the Bandera sends him up over the top to the outside.
02:04Here's the Ocho, the entire world champion.
02:07A backbreaker.
02:10I thought he was going to go for a cover.
02:11I believe Brian Keith is the legal man in my bed.
02:13That's why Aubrey Edwards is demanding Robert Strong leave the ring.
02:17The former international champion will leave the ring.
02:19That's your correctness, Calvin.
02:21Thank you for correcting me. I really appreciate that.
02:23It wouldn't be a Wednesday if I didn't.

02:40DraftKings, the crown is yours.
02:42And Roderick Strong, man, well-documented his whole career, how tough he is, how great of a competitor he is.
02:48He just really wore down Briscoe.
02:50And now that whole crew in that corner is just putting it on Briscoe.
02:55Yeah, how tough Roderick Strong is well-documented, but also how heavy-handed he is.
02:59Yeah.
03:00No, no doubt about it.
03:03Now Brian Keith lining up Briscoe.
03:05Told you he could kick.
03:06Man, he's got good strikes.
03:08That first one was in the jaw.
03:11Mark Briscoe is finding out firsthand the striking prowess of the bad apple Brian Keith.
03:15Goes for a lateral press.
03:17You can say what you want about Jericho.
03:18He knows how to recruit excellent talent.
03:21He does.
03:22He definitely does.
03:23And that's what Brian Keith is.
03:24That's what Big Bill is.
03:26Sure, they get that fungus on them from Jericho.
03:30But still that super-talented guy.
03:32Blind tag made.
03:33O'Reilly comes in on high boot.
03:39And Roderick Strong, he knows the range.
03:42He knows the power that Kyle O'Reilly possesses.
03:44And O'Reilly was trying to take himself out of harm's way.
03:48O'Reilly looking for that axe kick.
03:50Oh, he'd need him.
03:51O'Reilly would need O'Reilly in the head.
03:56And now O'Reilly charging in.
03:59As Big Bill made the tag.
04:01O'Reilly, I'm not sure, realizes it.
04:04As Brian Keith, the kneebar.
04:06Oh, I'm sorry.
04:08But Big Bill, the legal man, drops the elbow.
04:11This is a hell of a match, guys.
04:13I mean, these eight men are going at it here.
04:16Big Booth caught hook.
04:17Oh, my God.
04:18Watch out.
04:19Big Bill getting a little payback from Dynamite one week ago.
04:22On hook.
04:23But look at Orange Cassidy.
04:26And watch him go.
04:28Orange Cassidy flattened in the arms of Big Bill.
04:31And fans, we are going to stick with it all in Picture in Picture.
04:51This is our nature.
04:53We play for blood.

05:55Look at that jet stream.
05:57Weather.
05:58Oh boy.
05:59Yep, they're calling it an atmospheric river.
06:02It is calming down.
06:04Oh, flood warning Louisiana.
06:07Are they obsessed?
06:08Oh yeah.
06:09The stuff they do on the green screen, unbelievable.
06:12They said 10% chance of rain.
06:14Seems more like 40% to me.
06:15Nope.
06:16It has nothing to do with the dew point.
06:18Progressive can't save you from becoming your parents.

07:06Get this deal in the Subway app now before it's too late.
07:11We are back on Dynamite.
07:13This eight-man tag team match continues.
07:16As Kyle O'Reilly tags, he has been in the deep water with Big Bill, Brian Keith, Chris Jericho.
07:23And we know how tough O'Reilly is, man.
07:25But he is getting tested.
07:26And the Redwoods all over him.
07:28Roddy Strong was, Jericho was, BK, Brian Keith was.
07:32And O'Reilly's got to tag in either Briscoe, Hook, or Orange Caps.
07:37It's got to happen soon.
07:39Well, drop kick.
07:40There you go.
07:41So low on the big guy.
07:42Oh, now Roddy Strong is legal.
07:45Big Bill.
07:46Oh, low bridge.
07:47Goes over the top, and Roderick Strong right there.
07:49Grabbing the boot.
07:50Trying to get Hook in that stick.
07:51He's got it.
07:52Tag made now.
07:54And T.W. Champion Hook throwing his body at Roderick Strong.
07:59And Chris Jericho on Uchimata here.
08:01I see the set up.
08:02Oh, boy.
08:03Nice throw.
08:04And Roderick Strong taking for a ride.
08:05And now the T-bone.
08:06Perhaps no strong to boot into the middle of the back.
08:09Uh-oh.
08:10Good slip back.
08:11Oh, nice.
08:12Oh, Sotogari right there.
08:13Quick.
08:15As Big Bill overcommits.
08:17And his height used against him as he hit the rim post.
08:20There's the T-bone from Hook.
08:22Wow.
08:23Got the big man up right there.
08:25Don't turn your back on Roddy.
08:26Yeah, you're right.
08:27He got a little bit overzealous then, Hook.
08:29Yeah, this is somewhat unfamiliar territory for Hook, being a
08:328-person tag team match with a rod and, like, suplex the high bridge.
08:36But Brian Keith there to break it out.
08:38You could tell that Hook was riding on a lot of emotion and a lot of
08:41momentum after what happened on Sunday.
08:44And Keith charges in, but into the waiting booth of Kyle O'Reilly.
08:47But that was a good job to break up that Northern Lights because I think
08:50Hook might have had him maybe.
08:52And now, punch countered and an exploder delivered by Brian Keith.
08:57Oh, what a knee strike to O'Reilly.
09:00I tell you, Brian Keith has wrestled a hell of a match here tonight, guys.
09:04As Briscoe vaults over the top.
09:07The shoulder of the midsection drags Brian Keith to the outside.
09:11Uh-oh.
09:12And now Briscoe.
09:13Oh, crazy man.
09:15Oh, Jericho laid him out.
09:18Taking off his feet to Jericho.
09:20Jericho, that means he just won the Super Bowl.
09:22Yeah, I know. He's his own cheerleader.
09:24Yes, and he just won the Big 12 championship for Big 12 country.
09:28That's Chris Jericho.
09:29Big 10.
09:30What the hell am I saying? I'm drinking the wrong stuff here.
09:32Big 10, Big 12, we're in the wrong area.
09:34I quit drinking out of my bottle, Taz.
09:36Oh.
09:37Big right hand to the face of Jericho.
09:40He has to get him up.
09:41Yes.
09:42With a burning tree.
09:43O'Reilly's strong.
09:44Oh, he's strong.
09:45He wants this backbreaker.
09:46This is what O'Reilly's calling.
09:47Oh, not a look.
09:48Oh, man.
09:49Long blower there, but Kyle O'Reilly waiting to come in with the PK.
09:54As O'Reilly's winding him up.
09:56O'Reilly looks for that jumping knee.
09:58Clipped Jericho, I believe, on the side.
10:01But what?
10:02Excuse me, Orange Cassidy.
10:03Toe base to the seat of Brian Keith.
10:06The chair's in place for Mark Briscoe.
10:08Go get him.
10:09Go get him.
10:10And Mark Briscoe launches out of that tree.
10:13Takes out Big Bill.
10:14Oh, like I said earlier, a hell of a match.
10:16I mean, these eight men are leaving it all up to O'Reilly.
10:19It's on the ring.
10:20Roderick Strong and Hook.
10:21No, Hook using that power in those legs to kick out.
10:25Forearms and back elbow.
10:27Hook might be out on his feet.
10:29Roderick Strong looking for end of heartache.
10:31But Hook vaults over.
10:33Now, look at Hook.
10:34Looking for a red rum.
10:35Roderick's trying to get those ropes.
10:37He's got the rope.
10:38Roderick Strong pulled him up.
10:39He's got his foot under the rope and tapped.
10:42He taps out, but Roderick never saw it.
10:45The ref never saw it.
10:46The tap was there.
10:50The conglomeration.
10:52And hook.
10:55Well, the referee never saw.
10:56She saw Roderick Strong's foot on the rope, but she saw the tap.
11:01I guess it never happened, right?
11:03Oh, look at this.
11:05And we got a brawl on the outside.
11:07And now we've got...
11:08Things breaking down between Bennett and Taylor.
11:11Taylor and Bennett just attacking Hook here.
11:15Look at this two-on-one beatdown inside the ring on Hook.
11:18It's going to be a three-on-one right against to his feet.
11:21Hook's in a fight back.
11:22There you go.
11:23Roderick Strong flying in that knee.
11:25Yeah, the undisputed kingdom.
11:26And now the security once again spilling out.
11:29With the back of referee court trying to separate all of these athletes.
11:34Temporal in the ring.
11:35The Roddy Strong with the FTW belt.
11:37What the hell?
11:39Just when we saw Hook reclaim the FTW championship for the second time in two years.
11:47It seems like someone else already has designs on that title.
11:51And it may be Roderick Strong.
11:53Hook, you've been up more than you can chew.
11:55From the FTW championship to the TBS championship.
11:58Let's hear from the CEO, Mercedes Monet.
12:09Hello.
12:12Welcome to my party to celebrate me and another W.
12:18Give it up.
12:20CEO, CEO, CEO.
12:24Let us show you how things run around here.
12:25Tell them.
12:26You can't have a party without private party.
12:31You can't.
12:32It's illegal.
12:33But congratulations on your title defense at All In.
12:36Huge.
12:37And what is this?
12:38At Capital Collision, you're facing Momo Watanabe.
12:40Big.
12:41Defending this bad boy right here.
12:43I gotta say, that's a fighting champion in our eyes, right?
12:46Let's cheers to that.
12:47Cheers to that.
12:48Hello.
12:52Let me cook, let me cook, let me cook.
12:54Hey Mercedes, Mercedes.
12:56I've been meaning to tell you this for a very long time.
12:58And I know you're single.
12:59But I must admit, your outfit, I'm loving it.
13:01The fur, you know, I wear fur too.
13:04And the color of your dress is red.
13:05The symbol of love.
13:06And I think that red will look better on top of me.
13:08If you know what I mean.
13:09Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
13:11Watch out, watch out.
13:12Nobody was talking to you.
13:13Oh.
13:14Rikki Curry, huh?
13:17Chill, chill, chill.
13:18I got some if you want.
13:19There's a lot.
13:21Okada-san.
13:22How do you say bye bitch in Japanese?
13:25Sorry.
13:29Saranara, bitches.
13:34Bye, bye.
13:35You're not in my party.
13:37Go.
13:38Back to the celebration.
13:39Let's go.
13:41CEO, CEO, CEO, CEO, CEO.
13:47That's right.
13:48Dreams came true.
13:49Oh my god.
13:50You got it right.
13:53We are back live on the dynamite from the great state of Illinois.
13:59Here in Champaign.
14:01It is time for another celebration.
14:04As we celebrate the new AEW Women's World Champion.
14:09Ladies and gentlemen, here she is.
14:11Mariah May.
14:15Well, Taz, the plan that Mariah May set into motion months ago.
14:23Befriending timeless Toni Storm.
14:25Earning her trust.
14:27Ultimately betraying her and taking everything that Toni Storm held dear.
14:32Was executed to a tee.
14:34But maybe Mariah just felt like she was sick and tired of being subservient to Toni Storm.
14:39Maybe that's the other side of it.
14:44Mariah, congratulations.
14:46It was a homecoming for you.
14:48Of course, being from North London.
14:50You are the...
14:53Where was I?
14:55You are the new...
14:58I am the new AEW Women's World Champion.
15:06Yes, you are.
15:07But I regret to inform you that the AEW Women's World Championship celebration has been postponed.
15:20Postponed?
15:22I'm not doing it in this town.
15:25I know it's called Champagne.
15:28But it should really be renamed to Flat Stale Piss Warm Beer.
15:37Well, it's a college town.
15:41And judging by some of the desperately average looking women in this room.
15:49And judging by some of the desperately average looking women in this audience.
15:56It's something you're all too familiar with shoving down your throats amongst other things.
16:10What you desperately need is some glamour.
16:16And luckily for you, that's everything I am.
16:25In case you don't understand, I'm going to take my robe off now and show you exactly what I mean.
16:36Look now and never forget.
16:39This is your new AEW Women's World Champion, Mariah May.
16:58Well, there she is showing her true colors.
17:01The AEW Women's World Champion, Mariah May.
17:06That's enough.
17:09Deeming that is enough for Champagne, Illinois.
17:15And it remains to be seen what the reign of the glamour Mariah May will hold as AEW Women's World Champion.
17:23But let's take you back to last Sunday in London.
17:25And the conclusion of the three-way match for the AEW World Tag Team Championship.
17:29I am Liverpool's number one, Zach Gibson.
17:32This man is James Drake.
17:33Together we are grizzled young veterans.
17:39Way to make a debut.
17:41Congratulations.
17:42I like you guys' style.
17:43Yeah.
17:44You don't like STR.
17:45I mean, we both have the word young in our tag team.
17:47And we are both veterans around the world.
17:49So, congratulations.
17:57We are both veterans around here, right?
17:58Yeah.
17:59Hey, lads.
18:00Lads.
18:01We know who you are.
18:02We've seen the way that you roll.
18:03And let me make something very clear.
18:04We are not cut from the same cloth.
18:06We are not the same kind of veterans as you two dweebs.
18:09That was a message for the FTR.
18:11That was a message for the Acclaimed.
18:13That was a message for the entire AEW Tag Team division.
18:16A division that you two currently sit on top of.
18:19And know this.
18:20The GYB are here to stay in AEW.
18:24And we are coming for those titles.
18:27So, remember this.
18:29When you see the GYB coming, grit your teeth.
18:38We'll be seeing you soon, lads.
18:39Alright.
18:40Great.
18:41Great.
18:42Great first time impression there, guys.
18:43Bricks.
18:44Yeah.
18:45Yeah.
18:47We warned the Young Bucks and we showed FTR that the GYB are messing around.
18:55This Friday on Rampage 1, unlucky team is going to find out first hand exactly our intentions.
19:04So, to whoever that is, remember this.
19:07When you see the GYB coming, grit your teeth.
19:15We'll be seeing you soon, guys.
19:46It is main event time.
19:48The playoffs.
19:49Oh, my God.
19:51What a run.
19:52The dream for Konosuke Takeshita is over.
19:55A man who has had a hell of a run in this year's GYB.
19:59It is the future.
20:00It is the alpha.
20:01It is Konosuke Takeshita.
20:04Yes!
20:14Konosuke Takeshita after a month-long, grueling, grueling performance in the G1 Climax Tournament
20:20returns to action this Friday night on Rampage in a huge four-way match against the Beast
20:26Mortos, Commander and Leo Rush.
20:34Oh, my God.
20:44This next bout is set for one fall with a 30-minute time limit,
20:50making his dynamite debut from Las Vegas, Nevada,
20:55weighing 208 pounds,
20:59Ricochet!
21:04When this man made his debut at Wembley Stadium this past Sunday,
21:09I would say that it blew the roof off the place, but Wembley doesn't have a roof,
21:14but Ricochet arriving in AEW, for me, I mean, he's a man that I've known for years and years.
21:20I've been able to call on his matches when he came up through the independent scene
21:24in Pro Wrestling Guerrilla.
21:25He won two Battle of Los Angeles tournaments.
21:28He only meant to win two tournaments.
21:30He went to Japan competing for Dragon Gate, New Japan Pro Wrestling.
21:33He's competed all over the world, and now Ricochet calls all elite wrestling his home,
21:40and it feels so good.
21:43I would say I called some of his matches, too, on the independent circuit before AEW was formed,
21:49but I knew this kid was something special.
21:51He's one of the greatest high flyers of all time, Tachi.
21:54You've got to give him that.
21:56Oh, absolutely.
21:57He is truly a dynamic athlete, a very special athlete, a tremendous performer,
22:03and I think he's going to probably have a great career right here in AEW,
22:08but this is a tough fight to get off of for Ricochet.
22:11Upside Don Callis from Sydney, Australia, weighing 239 pounds, Kyle Fletcher.
22:21Yeah, no doubt.
22:22Fletcher is a tall warrior.
22:25Kyle Fletcher, a man who Don Callis so often rightly sings the praises of,
22:33an athlete very similar to Kunosuke Takeshi.
22:37So much upside.
22:41For Kyle Fletcher, so much upside for Kunosuke Takeshi,
22:43but Don Callis, say what you will about him, he's got an eye for talent.
22:48He does.
22:49Don always has.
22:50I think Don Fletcher is way over next to you there, Shivani, so lucky you.
22:53Yeah, lucky me that Don Callis is beside of me, but listen, you guys are right,
22:58and Kyle Fletcher is in phenomenal shape,
23:02and Kyle Fletcher has flourished under the man to my left, Don Callis.
23:08Thank you, Shivani.
23:09You're welcome.
23:10Hello, Don.
23:12Taz.
23:13Don, welcome to the desk.
23:16As Kyle Fletcher looks to welcome Ricochet to Dynamite,
23:20and remember still to come tonight we will hear from our newly crowned
23:22AEW world champion, Bryan Danielson,
23:25addressing his future in the sport of professional wrestling.
23:31Fletcher wanting to welcome Ricochet right away to AEW
23:36with a pretty insulting push.
23:37I like it.
23:38Nice shoulder block, too.
23:40Ricochet very effortlessly springing back up to his feet.
23:45Fletcher went for the kick.
23:47I believe Ricochet avoided it and now takes the side headlock.
23:50I guess you could say this about anybody that wrestles Ricochet, Don,
23:53but you got to keep the Ricochet grounded.
23:56Well, at 6'4 1⁄2", I think Kyle Fletcher is physically put together to do that.
24:03Ricochet, who's no stranger to many members of the AEW roster,
24:10including our AEW international champion, Will Ospreay.
24:14This man is going to fly here, guys.
24:17Ricochet puts on the brakes and takes a pause, center of the ring.
24:24He makes it look easy.
24:26He certainly does.
24:27Fletcher got popped in the jaw by that right hand from Ricochet.
24:31Fletcher into the ring.
24:32Ricochet.
24:34Not often that Ricochet gets out quick, Don.
24:37Way to go, Kyle.
24:38Kyle is deceptively quick for a guy this size.
24:42And I think with Ricochet, the strategy is to rough him up.
24:46Fletcher's hope a suicida.
24:48That's roughing him up right there.
24:50I can tell you that.
24:51Of course.
24:52Got to stay on him, though.
24:53Don't worry about the rubes in the crowd here in Champaign.
24:56I haven't heard that in a while.
24:59We are in Big Ten country, by the way.
25:01Yeah, the thing is with Fletcher, he is going to be a doormat to anybody.
25:07I understand that's Ricochet's dynamite debut,
25:09but he's not looking to be a doormat, and I respect that of Fletcher.
25:13The boot delivered into the jaw of Ricochet,
25:15sending him careening over the barricade.
25:17Now Fletcher.
25:19This is how the Don Callis family welcomes new signees to AEW.
25:25Wait, Ricochet.
25:31Springing off the barricade, taking down Kyle Fletcher
25:35as Ricochet makes his dynamite debut,
25:37and you won't miss a second in Picture in Picture.
25:42I know that my actions do the talking.
25:45Look at this.
25:46It's Saturday night.
25:47We fight.
25:48We can't fight no more.
25:50This is my era.
25:53I'm better than you.
25:57Because we're in this together.
26:00Who's out?
26:01This man is a psychopath.
26:07AEW Collision, live Saturdays at 8 on TNT.

27:58Did I read this?
28:00Did I get eggs?
28:02Where are my keys?
28:04Memory and thinking issues keep piling up.
28:06It may be due to a buildup of amyloid plaques in the brain.
28:09Visit morethannormalaging.com.
28:33May I have this dance?
28:36Your stomach and brain together at last.
28:38When delicious meets nutritious, it's all kinds of good.
28:43The in-ring dynamite debut of Ricochet not going according to plan for him.
28:48Kyle Fletcher of the Don Callis family has been in the driver's seat for the last few moments.
28:53He looks great.
28:54I can tell you that.
28:55Kyle does.
28:56But here comes Ricochet trying to find a comeback.
28:57Let's not forget we are moments away from hearing from the new AEW world champion, Bryan Danielson.
29:04What does the future hold for him?
29:07Fletcher, half Nelson, drives Ricochet down face first and now covers.
29:11The leg hooked.
29:13Looks like Ricochet tried to block it on the way down, Don, but the power of Fletcher just too much.
29:18Too much leverage to Taz's earlier point.
29:21Yeah, when you have that kind of height, and Kyle knows how to utilize that.
29:25I mean, you're right.
29:27You have that advantage leverage-wise.
29:29It's tough if you're in Ricochet's spot.
29:32We talked about the necessity of roughing up Ricochet.
29:36I think Kyle is well on his way to executing that strategy.
29:39No, he looks great.
29:40Fletcher looks great.
29:41Ricochet's having a hard time here on his Dynamite debut.
29:47Tremendous athlete.
29:48We know that, Ricochet.
29:49He's trying to fight back, but he's looking sort of good here.
29:52Now, here he comes.
29:53Yeah, Ricochet very comfortable on the ropes.
29:57More comfortable than perhaps Kyle Fletcher.
29:59Look out, Fletcher in that headbutt.
30:00Nice headbutt.
30:01Fletcher crashing down.
30:02Hell of a headbutt.
30:04And Ricochet commentary.
30:07Catches Fletcher flush, and now Ricochet lays out and takes out Fletcher.
30:13Love the body control that Ricochet has coming off the top.
30:18Well, that springboard clothesline really dropped Fletcher.
30:23It's like it caught him in the windpipe.
30:24The fans here in Champaign chanting the name of the newest athlete to be deemed all-elite in Ricochet,
30:34who lands a combination on Fletcher to the midsection, trying to keep the oxygen out of the lungs.
30:42The man who's a member of the Don Calis family.
30:46Springboard back elbow there by Ricochet.
30:48Great one-on-one matchup, no doubt.
30:52And a great prelude to what we've got coming up next.
30:57As Ricochet accelerates into the corner, shoulder to the midsection.
31:02Right hand staggers Fletcher back out towards center once again.
31:05Ricochet looking for the springboard.
31:07Fletcher.
31:08No, Ricochet.
31:09Blocked and securing.
31:12Tags Fletcher, and now Ricochet.
31:14So fluid.
31:15Northern Lights.
31:18Wow, wow.
31:20Sheer power from Ricochet.
31:24This is interesting because at different points in either man's careers, they were known as tag team specialists.
31:30Now meeting one-on-one.
31:32Ricochet running, shooting, star pressed, but Fletcher able to kick out.
31:35Quality kick out by Kyle Fletcher right there.
31:38Getting his second win.
31:39Yeah, a lot of strength, a lot of reserve in Kyle Fletcher.
31:46No doubt about it.
31:48And you can see that Ricochet has been in a hell of a match just trying to shake the cobwebs out right there.
31:57Now Ricochet, maybe Death Valley driver.
32:00Fletcher though using his length, his reach to hammer down with those elbows on the ear of his opponent.
32:08Ricochet though.
32:11Chopping.
32:12And the lariat there on Fletcher.
32:15Regaining the advantage perhaps.
32:17Yeah, Fletcher lured him in that time.
32:19Fletcher ran through the lariat.
32:22He wiped him out.
32:23Great job.
32:24Of course he did.
32:25Needs to follow up now.
32:27Yeah, absolutely he does.
32:28I'm surprised he didn't try to cover him that time.
32:30I think that shot to the throat, Taz, did something to Fletcher.
32:34He's having maybe some trouble breathing.
32:36He's heaving in a way we don't normally see Kyle Fletcher do.
32:39And that can happen.
32:40You get it in the windpipe or the esophagus, that can happen.
32:43But Fletcher perseveres.
32:44Lands a shot in the corner.
32:46Sends Ricochet across.
32:48No, Ricochet gets his boots up.
32:50And Ricochet rolls through.
32:52Dropkick takes Fletcher down.
32:56Kyle smartly rolling to the floor.
32:59These two guys are pushing each other.
33:00I'd love to see this, man.
33:02Gotta be careful on the floor though.
33:03Look at this guy, Ricochet.
33:05The floor is not necessarily out of the range of Ricochet.
33:10It's kind of like a battery ram that time.
33:12It certainly was.
33:13Just turning his shoulder and throwing his body into Fletcher.
33:15Knocking him into the barricade.
33:17And now Ricochet returning Fletcher to the ring.
33:21This is where Ricochet is doing it.
33:23You see right there, side of his body.
33:26Just body Fletcher.
33:27This is where Ricochet is a freaky athlete.
33:31Whatever the heck he's going to do off the top here.
33:33Ricochet up to the top.
33:35Diving splash, but Fletcher got both boots up.
33:38Perhaps baiting him in.
33:39And now Fletcher charges in the corner.
33:42Catching Ricochet on the button.
33:44This is it, man.
33:45Fletcher.
33:47The body buster.
33:48The leg hooked.
33:49And Fletcher.
33:50Ricochet survives.
33:52Just rolling on his left shoulder to get out of the way.
33:54Super close right there.
33:56Stay locked in here, Kyle.
33:57Don't lose focus now.
34:01Kyle Fletcher.
34:04His frustration perhaps coming out.
34:07He's feeling it now.
34:10And for good reason.
34:11Or perhaps not.
34:12Fletcher coming in.
34:15Ricochet crushed against the ropes.
34:17And Fletcher.
34:19Bringing him out.
34:20Looking.
34:22Looking for that belly to back.
34:25Tombstone style piledriving.
34:27Now repeated kicks to the chest of Ricochet.
34:30Ricochet vaults out.
34:32Lands on his feet.
34:33Elbow strike.
34:34Got the first blow in.
34:35Stops Fletcher.
34:36And he tracks Ricochet.
34:37Pump kick.
34:39And Fletcher.
34:40Fletcher may be out.
34:41I think he is out.
34:42As Ricochet.
34:44Puts him up.
34:45Death Valley driver.
34:47And Ricochet.
34:48Covers.
34:49Near leg hook.
34:50Fletcher.
34:52It's Fletcher's turn to survive.
34:56Great intestinal fortitude by Kyle.
34:59But Ricochet.
35:01He likes this lifting reverse DDT.
35:04He calls it.
35:05Vertigo.
35:06He planted Fletcher.
35:08And scores the win.
35:11That was a great match.
35:13Ricochet.
35:15Well flipped.
35:16Fletcher had a great outing.
35:17Kyle came close.
35:18Real close.
35:19But that vertigo just.
35:21Just caught him right there.
35:22Excellent match.
35:23As you said Shivani.
35:24Congratulations on the Dynamite debut to Ricochet.
35:28Yeah.
35:29Ricochet earned every bit of that victory.
35:32That was a fight.
35:34Yeah he's spent.
35:35Look at that.
35:37As Kyle Fletcher.
35:38The welcoming committee.
35:40Didn't necessarily roll out the red carpet.
35:43For Ricochet.
35:44But Ricochet.
35:45Victorious nonetheless.
35:50And Don.
35:51A heartbreaking loss here for Kyle Fletcher in our Dynamite main event.
35:55Not happy.
35:58I know you're not happy with the outcome Don.
36:00But I'm telling you Kyle.
36:02Kyle Fletcher once again.
36:03Proved his worth.
36:10What is this development here?
36:13Whoa.
36:15It's the international champ.
36:18The international champ.
36:20The man who has.
36:22Quite a bit of history.
36:24With Ricochet.
36:26We are talking of course about the aerial assassin.
36:29Will Ospreay.
36:31Will Ospreay.
36:36Lot of history.
36:41And the friendship between these two men.
36:42No secret.
36:45Wait a minute.
36:46Oh.
36:47Oh my god.
36:48Oh my.
36:49Oh no.
36:50That.
36:51Oh my god.
36:52The man.
36:53That.
36:54What challenge.
36:55William.
36:56William.
36:57William.
36:58Let this be a warning to you.
37:00Don't you dare.
37:02Forget about the bastard.
37:09And as for you Ricochet.
37:12Please allow me this opportunity.
37:14To welcome you.
37:16To A.
37:17A.
37:18W.
37:25Welcome.
37:27Now get to the back of the line.
37:28Like everyone else.
37:30This one here.
37:35He belongs to me.
37:38Well Pac.
37:39One third of the A.
37:40W.
37:41World Trios champions.
37:42Launched that.
37:43He will challenge.
37:45Ospreay.
37:46For the international championship.
37:47In ten days time.
37:48At All Out.
37:49Where you going?
37:50I know you're not talking to me.
37:52I mean.
37:53The reverse.
37:54Thor can run.
37:55On the stage.
37:56I have never seen anything quite like that.
37:57That was a brutal attack by Pac.
38:00I know you're not talking to me.
38:01Come on.
38:02Huh?
38:04John.
38:05John.
38:06What's going on out there?
38:07What did you mean by all that stuff?
38:10I shall not cast pearls before swine.
38:16Maybe just one.
38:18You know what we.
38:19Could really use around here?
38:28What?
38:31Ma'am.
38:32Ma'am.
38:33You gotta get out of here.
38:37Ma'am.
38:38Ma'am.
38:40No.
38:47A lesson.
38:49In humility.
38:58Ugh.
39:04Marina Shafir.
39:06John.
39:07John Moxley kind of speaking in riddles here tonight.
39:08But that.
39:09Yeah.
39:10That was Marina Shafir.
39:12What is going on with Moxley?
39:15This.
39:16Well.
39:18We're gonna have to find out at some later time.
39:20Because right now.
39:21The stage belongs to the newly crowned.
39:24AEW world champion.
39:26The American Dragon.
39:27Bryan Danielson.
39:32Ladies and gentlemen.
39:33Your.
39:34New.
39:35All Elite Wrestling.
39:37World.
39:39Champion.
39:41The American Dragon.
39:45Bryan.
39:46Danielson.
39:49Excalibur and Tad.
39:50I've seen a lot of great matches.
39:52And called a lot of great matches.
39:53I don't know if I've.
39:54Seen one anymore.
39:55Emotionally charged.
39:56And what we saw.
39:57Sunday night.
39:58I was so proud to be a part of that.
40:00So happy for Bryan Danielson.
40:02And his family.
40:05It was one of the greatest main events.
40:06In AEW history.
40:08Yeah.
40:09It was awesome.
40:10There's no doubt about that.
40:11And like Shabani said.
40:12Excalibur.
40:13The emotion involved in that.
40:14It really was.
40:16I mean Bryan's family ringside.
40:18Strickland just.
40:20Worked.
40:21Just battling.
40:22Battling to try to retain his title.
40:24And if you missed.
40:25All in London.
40:26You can catch the replay.
40:27On BR.
40:28In Demand.
40:29Triller TV.
40:30YouTube.
40:31PPD.com.
40:32And DAZN.
40:33Danielson said.
40:34At the beginning of the year.
40:35This may be my last year.
40:36I will not go quietly.
40:37Into the night.
40:41So what does the future hold.
40:42For the world champion.
40:54After trying and failing.
41:14And trying and failing.
41:16And trying and failing.
41:18And trying and failing.
41:20Finally.
41:22Brian Danielson, the American Dragon, is the AEW World Champion!
41:48In front of over 50,000 people
41:51in Wembley Stadium.
41:53In front of my family, who got to sit front row.
41:57And when I got to the back,
41:59my daughter said,
42:02Daddy, this was the best day of my life.
42:10Now granted, earlier in the day,
42:12she went on a Peppa Pig double-decker tour bus,
42:15so that may have played a big role.
42:19But, you know, I knew it,
42:21even before she said that.
42:25I knew it, when I got to the back,
42:28and I saw my peers congratulating me,
42:32and I knew it.
42:34That's the favorite moment of my entire career.
42:48Thank you, Brian!
43:11But...
43:13But...
43:15But then when I got to the press conference at the end of the show,
43:19they asked me the question,
43:21What's next?
43:24And...
43:28My contract with AEW expired on August 1st.
43:36I'm going to be needing neck surgery sooner rather than later.
43:43And my family is ready for me to come home.
43:56So...
43:59So I've had a lot of thinking to do since Sunday.
44:03And when I first got to AEW,
44:06one of the first things I said was,
44:09Thank you to the people who started this place.
44:14Because if you're here in the building tonight,
44:16you probably agree with me,
44:18AEW is awesome!
44:24I have loved professional wrestling my entire life,
44:29and the fact that AEW even exists
44:32makes pro wrestling better,
44:35and it's made my life better!
44:45So when I think of all the things that the people who started AEW did,
44:50and then when I got to the back,
44:52and I looked at all my peers that are wrestling for AEW now,
44:56and then when I think of all the people who are going to wrestle in AEW in the future,
45:02I realized,
45:04it's probably time for me to go home.
45:08But not yet!
45:18I will not retire as AEW champion!
45:24I am going to fight for this championship
45:28as much as I possibly can!
45:32And granted, don't get this twisted,
45:35as soon as I lose this, my full-time career is over,
45:38but that's not going to be anytime soon!
45:41Because I still have a lot of heads to kick in!
45:49So in two weeks, All Out Chicago,
45:54I get it,
45:55we've got a young, hungry locker room back there,
46:00and I've got an AEW world championship to defend!
46:05So anybody who wants a shot, come get it!
46:10First come, first serve!
46:12Because Bryan Danielson is here to be the best AEW world champion of all time!
46:19Bryan Danielson addresses his future.
46:26Bryan, you don't know your future.
46:29But I know mine.
46:31Let me connect the dots for you.
46:33Nobody wanted me back here.
46:35Nobody believed in me, including you.
46:38But you could have.
46:40So I had to go ahead and create my own future.
46:43The future that I knew I could have since the very beginning!
46:47And I started the day I got back here.
46:49I punched Tony Khan.
46:51I destroyed Kenny Omega.
46:53I won the TNT title.
46:54I buried Darby Allin in Wembley Stadium.
46:57And let's not forget, Bryan,
46:59the only time that you and I have ever stood across from each other in the ring,
47:04after I was set on fire, I beat you.
47:08And I'm gonna do it again.
47:10Because my future is to retire the American Dragon, Bryan Danielson.
47:15My future is to be the world heavyweight champion.
47:18And whether anybody likes it or not,
47:20my future and the future of AEW are one and the same.
47:25Your future, Bryan.
47:28Or it's behind you.
47:32Oh, wait! He said it's behind you!
47:34Well, that's Jack Perry that was behind him!
47:36Jack Perry!
47:37Look at a blindside assault on Bryan Danielson!
47:41Completely uncalled for!
47:42Danielson was offering an open shot!
47:44Perry didn't have to do this!
47:45He said, first come, first served.
47:47Well, first come is Jack Perry, the TNT champ!
47:53Oh, man, and Jack Perry has him lined up!
47:56Peril!
47:57Just like he lined up Darby Allin to win the coffin match on Sunday!
48:01What a headshot there by the TNT champion!
48:10And Jack Perry answering the challenge
48:14and calling his shot for All Out at Bryan Danielson!
48:22Wow!
48:23What did we just witness?
