Dynamite - 2025.05.21 | Highlights
Transcript
00:00AEW Dynamite is live from Elbeca to New Mexico.
00:04We are just days of four days.
00:06Two men will vie for the Owen Hart Cup.
00:09Professional wrestling, but both Hangman and Adam Page and the man he will face.
00:13All right, we're going to find out in the desert in Arizona.
00:17Foundation Tournament hanging in the balance.
00:19Taz, it was one week ago at Dynamite where Hangman and Adam Page and Will Oswey face-to-face to kick off our broadcast.
00:31Let's return to the ring and Tony Schiavone.
00:33You both know what's at stake coming up on Sunday.
00:36We'll win the Owen Cup. The ring is yours.
00:39I understand why you guys are prepared to security.
00:43Are you going to get physical?
00:44We're good. All right, lads. Thank you very much.
00:47Easy night at the office for these guys, huh?
00:49Do you still drink?
00:52I think I owe you an apology when we got jumped yesterday.
00:56You did butt me in the face first, but come here, sweet babe.
01:00Here you go, boss man.
01:02We are on a clock trip.
01:03Cheers, my dude.
01:07Let's put that there.
01:09While I guess that we both need to get some things off of our chest,
01:13I am out here to petition Tony Khan that me and you,
01:17this Sunday, are the main event.
01:20Why would I want to follow one of the most destructive and brutal matches?
01:24I say to those people, you do not know what is at stake.
01:29I have done everything the right way.
01:32Sometimes it's a 15-hour flight every single week.
01:36I want to wear that belt with pride.
01:40I just want it that little bit more.
01:43Will, you want this.
01:44You want it bad.
01:45And I know that feeling because I have lived it.
01:49There is no greater honor than to be champion.
01:52I know you know that I don't want this opportunity.
01:57I need it.
01:58The one thing that I did win brought me nothing but the same.
02:03The worst of it wasn't here.
02:04The worst of it were the times that I was at home.
02:07Were the times like Christmas morning when my son sat on the floor.
02:12How many times in two years did he look at me and feel disappointment, Will?
02:17I need it because I need to know that you were wrong.
02:21When you said, for me, it was too little, too late.
02:26You're going to beat me so bad that I have to retire like you did to Christopher Daniels?
02:31Because I've been there.
02:32It took a lot for me to come back.
02:35Sometimes my best has not been good enough.
02:37I can admit, because if I can beat you, I know I can beat him.
02:41I know I can bring you back.
02:43But you haven't been doing that.
02:45You've been staring out of a window.
02:47It can give you a month, two months, three months, by an entire year.
02:51Kids don't look up to you no more, bruv.
02:53Men, the boys backstage have lost respect for you.
02:57I am just a guy that is going to show up and do my best.
03:01I am the best in the fucking world, bruv.
03:04If you need someone watching your back, I have got you.
03:07Goes back to you.
03:08I hope if I win, you've got my back.
03:11What I'm saying Sunday, cowboy, meet me in the desert.
03:15I'm calling you out for a shootout, bruv.
03:29Extreme passion right here on live TV, Matt Phoenix, Arizona.
03:33It's for the cup, it's for pride, it's for a future title shot.
03:39It's going to be nasty and brutal.
03:41We'll determine who goes on to all-in Texas on Saturday.
03:46It was one week ago, Swerve Strickland called out Jon Moxley.
03:51And less than four days away, the chaos that will reign.
03:53World champion.
03:55World champion.
03:57That last year broke Eddie Kingston's leg.
04:01They.
04:02Young.
04:03Bucks.
04:05Are remarkably similar.
04:06A shared interest in devil's bargain.
04:09But you can't do much better at his caliber if you need a man.
04:14For sure, so let's see if they can work as a cohesive unit.
04:18And the differences in tactics, you would have to imagine that.
04:23And Mox picking up where they left off one week ago.
04:26To the windpipe.
04:26I think you're actually right.
04:27You walked to the right.
04:28A rolling elbow bite.
04:29Spoil over here in the early moments.
04:31They certainly are.
04:32I think it's a great move.
04:33That last week also between Joe and Moxley.
04:36McFarland is up.
04:38A good teamwork there by Nicklaus.
04:40Nicklaus elevated up and over the top.
04:42The drop kick.
04:43Oh, good quickness.
04:44Super kick.
04:46A voided backbreaker.
04:48With control of Nicklaus.
04:51Tom's watch bar locations internationally.
04:53You can join us at Double or Nothing on Prime Video.
04:54Taking advantage of every split second.
04:57And Moxley.
04:59Head of steam.
05:00As you know that he's not afraid to take flight at times.
05:03Swerve in.
05:05Delivers the flat liner.
05:07Over the top two.
05:09Now Joe, the head of steam.
05:11The elbow.
05:13So the skater.
05:13The Young Bucks and Moxley have been looking by the world champion.
05:18Special Network.
05:19The final stop before Double or Nothing.
05:21Not really affecting Hobbs.
05:23That's pretty evident.
05:23And Hobbs drives.
05:26By Matthew and Nicklaus Jackson.
05:29Wow.
05:30Great transition to work right there by Strickland.
05:34Swerve finds his backbreaker on Nicklaus.
05:36Oh, a shot by...
05:38They're definitely working as a well-oiled machine.
05:41The fact that they were able to invoke their EVP.
05:43Oh, to control that cage.
05:44Sent up and over.
05:46As is his brother Nicholas.
05:48Oh, wow.
05:49Now Matt...
05:50Oh, Jackson.
05:51Strickland.
05:51Now the Young Bucks.
05:52The risky business.
05:54Two.
05:55No, Swerve.
05:57Expertly know how to cut the ring in half.
05:59Inverted.
06:00The stolen Piledriver.
06:02Going for an on-bar here, Moxley.
06:04Very close.
06:06Moxley holding on to the belt of Strickland.
06:08Swerve comes in.
06:09A tag made.
06:11Swerve links up with Samoa Joe.
06:13And Joe comes in.
06:14Fist.
06:15Oh.
06:18Swerve.
06:18The uppercut.
06:19Joe.
06:19The back elbow.
06:20The NZ Geary.
06:21I would have tried to stay in there because this man, Strickland, has taken a lot of punishment.
06:24Oh, the fake.
06:25And now the Bucks.
06:26The DDT.
06:27Super kick.
06:28Two super kicks.
06:30And Joe.
06:31Appetite.
06:32Seize it.
06:32And shift from Moxley.
06:34Oh, gosh.
06:35This is a smart move here.
06:36Smart move.
06:38Compared to Swerve's stricken, the straps are coming down.
06:40Hobbs.
06:41Button.
06:42Stand the spine.
06:43And Nicholas.
06:45Thanks for coming to the top.
06:48Sending Hobbs into Swerve.
06:50The cutter.
06:52Right on the button.
06:53Joe went down.
06:54One.
06:54Oh, and the superplex.
06:57The EVV trigger.
06:58Missed.
06:59Avoided crutch.
07:01Locked in.
07:02Two.
07:03Three.
07:09Sensational effort.
07:10No.
07:12Short-lived celebration for the winners.
07:15Yeah, now Yudison there and Claudio of the Deathriders.
07:18Oh, wait.
07:18Is this cut?
07:19Cuts you in Shibana.
07:20Shibana's here.
07:22Oh.
07:22And now the beatdown begins by Shibana on Castagnoli.
07:28What a welcome return.
07:29Oh.
07:30But Shafir the low blow.
07:32Whoa.
07:34Here comes Willow Nightingale.
07:36Full head of Steve Willow.
07:37It's the ropes.
07:38It's the pounds.
07:40Part of Willow Nightingale.
07:41What's in the big one.
07:43Wait a minute.
07:45Kenny Omega on the hop.
07:46Here he comes.
07:47Knee.
07:48Snap.
07:49Drag it for Claudio.
07:50To Kenny Omega.
07:51Oh.
07:52Watch out, man.
07:54Bang.
07:54No.
07:55V.
07:55Trigger.
07:58I'm sorry.
07:59Nothing.
07:59This match.
07:59We see Sunday.
08:02Omega looking for the one-winged Angel.
08:04That was an excellent save.
08:07A big story to watch heading in.
08:10A sane man would realize.
08:12I got all your asses this weekend.
08:14I'm not a sane man.
08:16And we don't give a.
08:17We're coming after you.
08:19And elbow cook you.
08:20Whether you like it or not.
08:22Powerhouse off.
08:24Swerve struck a Kenny Omega back where our colleague Alicia Tooth is standing by.
08:29MJF will finally put pen to paper and join the Hurt Syndicate.
08:33This is a momentous occasion.
08:35The Hurt Syndicate adding a fourth member.
08:37You can ask him, baby.
08:38I'm so excited.
08:39I got me a brand new suit for the Syndicate.
08:42Woo.
08:42Woo.
08:43How do you like that?
08:44How do you like that?
08:45Come on, Bob.
08:46Sorry.
08:46Bob.
08:47All right.
08:47I'll take it.
08:48I'll take it.
08:48We're going to go get some food.
08:49Congratulations, man.
08:50I'll see you in a little while.
08:51Absolutely.
08:52Bob.
08:54Sheldon.
08:55You can leave.
08:57Bye-bye.
08:59You crazy bastard.
09:01You did it.
09:01It has been a pleasure doing business with you, sir.
09:03Likewise.
09:04The Hurt Syndicate and their fourth member.
09:08The Hurt Syndicate.
09:10The Hurt Syndicate in the ring.
09:11Excuse me.
09:12The Hurt Syndicate in the ring.
09:13Seems like we're going to make it official again.
09:15Looks like he won a Super Bowl alone.
09:18This is an official announcement from the Hurt Syndicate.
09:22We finally got the Almighty to change his position.
09:25Induct fourth member into the Hurt Syndicate.
09:29Maxwell Jacob Freeman.
09:31A moment we're witnessing.
09:34It's one way to put it, Taz.
09:36What a beautiful suit.
09:38God.
09:39Man.
09:39If I had this guy's money, I'd burn mine.
09:41Yeah.
09:42Cut my music.
09:43Cut my music.
09:44I'd boo too if I was born and raised here.
09:47Trust me.
09:48I get it.
09:48It is such a shame.
09:50Monumental moment has to take place in a state that everybody forgets even exists.
09:55Smart Mark Sterling.
09:56Please explain all the legalese.
09:58All right, guys.
09:59Your lawyer and I made sure that this would benefit both parties.
10:03Sign to make Max an official member of the Hurt Syndicate LLC.
10:07Well, MJF briefcases EMB assuring Shelton Benjamin about something.
10:15It just sounds like it's official.
10:18At the new...
10:19Shelton Benjamin, Bobby Lashley.
10:24This Sunday at Double Noth.
10:25You two must be as stupid as all these people are ugly.
10:29Southern honkies.
10:29Honkies, shut your mouth, Max.
10:33You stupid son of a bitch.
10:36That's all you do week in and week out is talk.
10:41I hate your guts, MVP.
10:45But I think it's in your best interest as business to watch for this snake in the grass right there.
10:52We changed the wrestling landscape.
10:56We have an opportunity because we earned that opportunity.
10:59This AEW World Tag Team title match.
11:03Please be careful what you wish for.
11:06We both looked at the devil and kicked his teeth in and ripped, teared, and clawed our way out.
11:12I would bet on the day one, guys.
11:14See you at Double Nothin' Sunday in Phoenix.
11:18The Sons of Texas for the AEW World Tag Team Championship.
11:23And you'll see it all.
11:24Okada, last week on Collision, Speedball Mike Bailey called you out.
11:28Do you have an official response to Speedball?
11:31Yeah.
11:31I'm the continental champion.
11:33I said, what goes?
11:35Speedball, you do not call me out.
11:37I call you out.
11:39Double or nothing.
11:40You find out why I'm the continental champion.
11:44And you are not.
11:45He's not been pinned.
11:47Are you at all concerned about that?
11:48This is the first time for everything.
11:51Trust me.
11:55Trust me.
11:56The action continues tonight live on TBS.
12:00Anthony!
12:02Boo!
12:03Willie Mays, Fernando Tatis Jr.
12:05Those are men that can do it in every...
12:07Show some love for Ricochet!
12:16Where Ricochet quite literally using his hair of scissors to bloody people.
12:20Billy can almost just rip my arm off.
12:22Two athletes that stretcher match.
12:25You have to get your opponent onto the stretcher.
12:28The stretcher match.
12:29It's going to be a long night.
12:30Oh, absolutely.
12:30Hot streak that Bowlings is on.
12:32And he can continue to build momentum.
12:35Ricochet and Billy Gunn on the outside.
12:37Oh!
12:37They bit that!
12:39They put your hand on your man's opponent.
12:41Fair, fair.
12:41True, true.
12:42Get himself out of the grip of Bowens.
12:44Bowens!
12:44Here tonight, Bowens has been on since his return to action.
12:48And the intensity Bowens can bring on display!
12:51Up and over!
12:52Rank as he brings.
12:54Ricochet up and drive!
12:568-7 Central on TBS.
12:57It is collision.
12:58Special night, special network.
12:59So, I mean, LaRouche and Duristico, I should say.
13:02Maybe not.
13:03Maybe not!
13:04Oh, what a shot!
13:07Nimbleness, that's the agility of Ricochet.
13:09And countered!
13:12The arrival!
13:14His feet bow.
13:14Go for it!
13:15Oh, Molly walk!
13:16Ricochet!
13:17Red-handed earlier by Paul Turner.
13:19Paul Turner.
13:19Oh, wait!
13:20Ricochet!
13:21The scissors!
13:22He jab-bones with the scissors,
13:24and now the spirit gun!
13:26And Ricochet steals the win!
13:30But he goes into double-nothing against Briscoe.
13:33Where does Ricochet go?
13:34Oh!
13:35There is nowhere to go, Excalibur!
13:37Those right hands!
13:38And we don't need to wait until Sunday!
13:40You put your opponent in the stretcher!
13:42Load him into the ambulance!
13:43Close the door!
13:44But will that be the case?
13:46Four days from now at double or nothing!
13:48To leap off the top rope, what will he do?
13:51What is the stretcher match on Sunday?
13:52Briscoe and Ricochet at double or nothing.
13:54The finalist of the Owen Hart Foundation Women's Tournament,
13:57Mercedes Ann Hader!
13:59It is now time to hear from the ladies.
14:03Yeah, Renee Paquette finding herself in the unenviable position
14:06of being finalist of the 2025 Owen Hart Foundation Women's Tournament
14:11on Collectiveness.
14:16Fan favorite, but you cannot argue.
14:19You've accomplished something here in AEW
14:31that Mercedes has not been able to do.
14:34Fought your heart out to be back here in this position.
14:37Well, if I'm the underdog, then so be it.
14:42It doesn't matter whether I'm on top of that proverb.
14:44I will crawl my way back.
14:47I will fight again and again.
14:50That's just who I am.
14:52And I don't walk around here like I'm the best thing since sliced bread.
14:56But I am a fighter.
15:00More to me than it does you.
15:02And we both know that.
15:05This is about not being forgotten.
15:08My back is against the wall.
15:09And hit bloody hard because that's the embodiment of who Jamie Hayter is.
15:14Are you worried that Jamie could be the first woman to defeat you here in AEW?
15:24Renee, me worried?
15:26You think you have me all figured out, but you don't.
15:30I'm looking straight through you like the glass doll that you are.
15:34I am the greatest TBS champion of all time.
15:3925 and 0 in singles competition.
15:42I want you to be the fighter that you say that you are.
15:46I have a question for everybody here tonight.
15:49Have you noticed something a little bit different about Mercedes?
15:53She's looking a little bit lighter, if you will.
15:56You lost the New Japan Strong Women's title, didn't you?
16:00I remember because I watched.
16:02And I think your destiny is to lose everything.
16:08Oh, oh, oh, oh, Mercedes.
16:10Cheat shot on Hayter.
16:13Both athletes making them very good tonight.
16:15Mercedes snap.
16:17Man, that really hit.
16:19And now Mercedes.
16:20Oh, in a second.
16:21Hayter, the arms shot.
16:22Oh, hey, great.
16:24You are not going to find a woman anywhere that is haunted in her.
16:28Oh, oh, entrance a little bit early here tonight, Ian.
16:31And no strangers to one another.
16:33Julia Hart, Mina Shirakawa, a timeless Tony Storm.
16:37Here tonight, let's return to the ring.
16:39And the dappery effort, Justin Roberts.
16:41Mina Shirakawa.
16:45The AWD Women's World Championship is on the line.
16:48Yes.
16:48Thank you, Mr. Tavon.
16:52On Double or Nothing coming up this Sunday.
16:55But she cannot this Sunday in Phoenix.
16:58Listen, me and Mina are very, very good friends.
17:00I really try not to talk about it, okay?
17:03And I have to come over there and...
17:04All Out for the first time ever.
17:06We'll head to Toronto, Canada.
17:08June 2nd for All Out coming to Toronto, Canada.
17:12Transitions into the side headlock.
17:14Obviously, I have to give the unpredictability to Julia Hart.
17:18Shielding in background from a different time for Julia.
17:21With both of these women, is there one particular...
17:25Look at the balance here.
17:27Hammering Mina across the shoulder blades.
17:30Going for that sliding lariat.
17:32Mina baiting in.
17:33Julia Hart hammers down on the knee.
17:35The overhand chopper.
17:36Yeah, I think so.
17:37She's showing her balance.
17:39As Mina...
17:40Julia down.
17:41Those glutes to...
17:42As Mina Shirakawa...
17:44Stringing together a series of offense.
17:45Oh, you gotta watch out for that.
17:46This Sunday.
17:47Yes.
17:48Taunt.
17:48The AWD Women's World Champion.
17:51Your opponent, obviously...
17:53Her eyes...
17:54Yes, welcome back to Dynamite.
17:56Pay-per-view Shirakawa.
17:58The rolling elbow strike down.
18:00Anticipates.
18:01And now Julia Hart with Mina Shirakawa.
18:03Caught in the wolf.
18:04Mina.
18:05Oh!
18:06These are two women that want to kick me in the face.
18:10Julia Hart.
18:11No.
18:12Oh, came down.
18:13Julia Comfort.
18:14Oh!
18:15To get on that knee.
18:16I'm gonna wave to Tony.
18:17Wait, it'll play.
18:18Julia Hart.
18:19No, Mina.
18:19Julia maybe out on her feet.
18:21The back.
18:22Yeah!
18:22She's got Julia.
18:24No, Julia.
18:25Julia's counter.
18:25The roll up, Mina.
18:27Wow.
18:28Mina.
18:29Oh, watch that.
18:30Capture.
18:30And the win for Shirakawa.
18:34Shirakawa.
18:35Yeah, that's tight.
18:37I'm excited to get nice and...
18:39Whoa!
18:39This match, I don't blame her.
18:41The frustration's being taken out by Julia.
18:44And he just...
18:45The figure floor we talked about.
18:46Look at this, continuing to punish.
18:48And Julia landed hard on that knee.
18:49Oh, sky blue!
18:50One week ago, and now sky blue.
18:54The world champion, timeless Toni Storm, enters the ranking.
18:58Spread out from Mina Shirakawa.
18:59The very woman, she'll face this Sunday.
19:01A Toni Storm!
19:03Oh, that is.
19:03Oh!
19:04A right hand for Julia.
19:05A damn fist from Mina.
19:08At double or nothing.
19:10Into all-in Texas at the AEW.
19:14Or will it be Mina Shirakawa?
19:16Ready to explode here.
19:17And now the cutie on hell!
19:19Oh, no.
19:19This Sunday, the figure four.
19:22Oh, my God!
19:23She is in agony as Mina Shirakawa, the figure four, around the ring post.
19:27Well, fans, remember, Collision, special night, special network, tomorrow, 8, 7 central,
19:31TVS.
19:32You guys are heading out of here with your bags.
19:33What's going on right now?
19:34I do not have time for this.
19:35We got a flight to catch.
19:36Joe made a promise that his crew was going to get their hands on us.
19:40I guess that makes you a freaking pathological liar, Joe.
19:43Double or nothing coming to you.
19:44And getting the anarchy started a little early.
19:51It's Yuna.
19:51Yuna with the kendo stick.
19:53And now the Death Riders.
19:54Whoa!
19:55The transcan lead Marina Shafir.
19:58This is just a preview of what's going to go down in Phoenix this Sunday.
20:03Be a part of the chaos.
20:05Adrenaline's a crazy thing.
20:06Choosing violence.
20:08Kenny Omega.
20:10All the things here inside the ring.
20:11It's Kenny Omega with his brother, Matthew.
20:15They considered Kenny Omega not just founding fathers of AEW.
20:18Family.
20:18They're the men that discarded Kenny Omega.
20:21And they're revenge.
20:22They will be in.
20:22He's thrown it off.
20:24And gasping for air at a mile high.
20:26And Katsuyori Shibana.
20:28This has got to be unfamiliar territory for him.
20:30But he is right in front of our announce desk.
20:33Setting it up.
20:34EBP!
20:34EBP!
20:34EBP Trigger at Calibur.
20:37Omega slips free of the box.
20:39Warhol.
20:42And Omega.
20:43We've got a rope.
20:44Joe, just like Joe.
20:45Choke out Mox and Willow Nightingale now.
20:48Wait a minute.
20:49As the V Trigger.
20:52Went away to it now.
20:54Game King.
20:55And just as he did last week.
20:57Interjecting himself.
20:58About his heat at rival with Kenny Omega in Japan.
21:01And it looks like things have spilled over here to the U.S.
21:04Omega, Strickland, Samoa Joe.
21:06They wanted those tables out of Excalibur.
21:08By Matthew Jackson.
21:10We've got Strickland laid out.
21:14Kenny Omega.
21:17After that dive articulates every head.
21:19Sunday, live on Pay-Per-View.
21:21Anarchy in the Desert this Sunday night.
21:24Mother!
