AEW Dynamite Results January 10, 2024: Highlights ##
Hangman Adam Page vs. Claudio Castagnoli ##
Page went on the attack right as the bell rang, and both guys ended up outside the ring after slamming each other into the barricade. Castagnoli went for the eyes to take control and followed it up with a double stomp, but only got a two-count. Page got flattened by some uppercuts, and Castagnoli posed while standing on his chest. However, Page started no-selling headbutts and began a forearm battle.##
Castagnoli pulled Page down by the hair and went for the Giant Swing, transitioning into the Sharpshooter. Page almost reached the ropes, but Castagnoli switched it up to a crossface. Page managed to escape and pulled off a desperation Death Valley Driver to reset the momentum before another forearm exchange. Page executed a Fall Away Slam and a springboard clothesline, then quickly flew to the floor with a plancha. Page took a sip of a fan's beer, but the delay allowed Castagnoli to catch him with a gorilla press out of the ring onto the stage, leading to a commercial break.##
After a charging double stomp on the stage, Castagnoli kept Page grounded in the ring until Page tried for a Buckshot but got a big boot to the face back on the stage. Both guys traded blows at the entrance before Page hit a running clothesline, sending Castagnoli into the ring. An attempt at the Buckshot was countered into a pop-up uppercut for a near fall. Castagnoli played around with Page, only making him angrier, and both guys tumbled to the floor. Page attempted a moonsault off the apron, but Castagnoli caught him with a running powerslam into the stage wall. When trying it again, Page countered into a DDT and followed up with a moonsault off the stage. ##
Back inside, Castagnoli caught another dive, but Page wiggled free and hit a Tombstone for a two-count. Page tried for Dead Eye, but Castagnoli countered, dropping Page face-first onto the top buckle. Castagnoli fired off uppercuts relentlessly before a short-arm lariat got a close two-count. An anvil elbow drove down, and Castagnoli went for the Neutralizer, but Page countered into Dead Eye for a two-count of his own. Page attempted another springboard clothesline, but Castagnoli hit an uppercut in mid-air. Both guys went to the ropes, with Castagnoli trying an Avalanche Ricola Bomb, but Page turned it into a mid-air hurricanrana. Page finished things off with two Buckshot Lariats to secure the win. ##
WINNER: Hangman Adam ##
AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy, Adam Copeland, Dustin Rhodes & Preston Vance (w/Jose The Assistant) vs. Lance Archer (w/Jake Roberts), Brian Cage, Toa Liona & Bishop Kaun (w/Prince Nana) ##
Rhodes caught Liona with a snap powerslam early, but Liona quickly turned the tide, and Team Cassidy started tagging in and out rapidly. They attempted a chokeslam on Cage, but he didn't move an inch. Cassidy pulled off a Stundog Millionaire, but Archer and Liona argued about who should make the tag for their team. Cassidy tried to showcase his speed against Kaun but got pounced in mid-air by Liona, leaving Cassidy isolated during the break. Everyone took turns picking Cassidy apart, including a one-armed suplex by Cage. ##
After the break, Archer launched Cassidy clear across the ring, following up with a step-up knee in the corner. Archer aimed for locomotion splashes, but Jose The Assistant tripped him up on the third attempt, leading to Jake Roberts laying out Jose. Cassidy managed a round-the-world DDT to create distance from Archer and made the hot tag to Vance, who ran wild on everyone. Kaun dodged a Brodie Lee-esque discus lariat, but Vance answered with a ripcord cutter. The match broke down, leaving Cage to drop Rhodes with an F5, attempting one on Copeland. Copeland countered into an Impaler. Kaun dropped Copeland with a gutbuster, Cassidy was there with an Orange Punch, Archer hit the Boss Man Slam, and friendly fire collided Archer and Liona. This led to Cage taking out his own partner with a clothesline to the floor but turned into a Copeland Spear followed by a discus lariat from Vance, who secured the pin on Kaun for the win. ##
WINNER: AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy, Adam Copeland, Dustin Rhodes & Preston Vance (w/Jose The Assistant) ##
Samoa Joe Addresses Daily’s Place ##
Joe entered the ring sporting a new AEW Title belt, dressed in a suit. He proclaimed himself as the AEW World Champion, eliciting Thank You Joe chants. Joe brushed off the gratitude, stating that he was destined for this moment. He announced changes in championship protocol, emphasizing that wrestlers no longer needed to complain on the mic or make social media comments. Instead, they could bring their record and reputation to the championship committee for evaluation, and if deemed worthy, they would get a shot at facing Joe in the ring.##
Swerve Strickland's music hit, and the Mogul Embassy joined him on the stage. Strickland declared that a few months ago, he told Hangman Page he was after his spot, and now he's saying the same to Joe – it's not personal; he just wants the AEW Title. As Joe and Strickland faced off, Hangman Adam Page entered the ring, keeping a close eye on Strickland. Page reflected on his 2023 victories, including beating Jon Moxley and reuniting with The Elite. However, he admitted losing sight of the AEW Title and vowed to reclaim it in 2024. Prince Nana intervened, pulling Strickland away, and the Mogul Embassy retreated as Page confronted Joe, promising to take the title before leaving.##
Left alone in the ring, Joe raised the AEW Title high. HOOK's music then played, and the FTW Champion confidently approached Joe, pointing at the AEW Title and stating, "One week," before walking away. The segment, though brief, introduced three challengers for Samoa Joe's title.##
In a backstage interview with Renee Paquette, Toni Storm, Luther, and Mariah May were asked about last week's events. May referenced her debut, asking if Storm saw her perform an arm drag. Paquette clarified she was talking about AEW's newest signing, Deonna Purrazzo. Storm, seemingly unaware, mentioned Wendi Richter, and May revealed that Purrazzo had kicked her in the face. Storm offered May a chocolate, shared some empowering words, and scolded her for messing up a catchphrase before walking off. Taz on commentary found the entire interaction amusing. ##
Sammy Guevara vs. Ricky Starks ##
Starks started with a quick shoulder block, struck his signature pose, and taunted Guevara. In response, Guevara showcased his athleticism with a leapfrog backflip dropkick combo. Guevara then tripped Starks to the floor and landed a hard moonsault off the top rope onto Starks' shoulder. Attempting a suplex from the ring to the floor, both ended up on the apron, where Starks executed a brutal Angels Wings on the edge of the ring, leading to a picture-in-picture break.##
During the break, Starks dominated, employing his rope walk strut to cut off a Guevara comeback. Starks tried a TKO, but Guevara countered with a superkick. Guevara climbed to the top, but Starks grabbed his foot, delivering straight punches to the side of the head. Guevara fought back, attempted a moonsault, but Starks countered with a double boot and a sitout powerbomb for a two-count. Starks sprinted but slid face-first into the corner. Guevara leapfrogged, tried for GTH, but Starks countered into a jackknife pin attempt for a two-count. Starks went for a Spear, but Guevara evaded, landed another thrust kick, and rolled up Starks for the victory. ##
WINNER: Sammy Guevara ##
After the match, Guevara and Starks shook hands, but it turned out to be a trick. Big Bill suddenly showed up and attacked Guevara. Chris Jericho's music played, and he rushed in with Floyd the baseball bat, delivering a Code Breaker and a springboard dropkick to take down Bill. Starks and Guevara kept on brawling, while Jericho and Bill continued their fight into the crowd, all while Judas played in the background. ##
Thunder Rosa, Kris Statlander, Willow Nightingale & Anna Jay vs. TBS Champion Julia Hart, Skye Blue, Saraya & Ruby Soho (w/Harley Cameron) ##
Stokely Hathaway was at ringside holding a sign that read, "Let Stoke Manage You, Stat." Soho initiated some early trash talk on Jay, who responded by delivering a forearm and a spinning corner kick. The babyface team executed fast tags, with Rosa standing tall after delivering a series of quick offensive moves. Soho floated over Rosa and unintentionally fell into her corner, leading to Hart tagging in and attacking Rosa from behind. The heels took advantage, taking turns stomping Rosa before she fought back. Nightingale tagged in, but during the break, Cameron tripped her up in the ropes, leaving her isolated.##
Nightingale eventually dropped Hart and Blue with a double clothesline. Statlander made the hot tag, entering the ring and cleaning house. She laid out Saraya with a spinning fisherman’s driver for a two-count. The match broke down, and the babyfaces executed a quadruple suplex. Each woman took turns delivering high-impact moves, concluding with Statlander hitting Saraya with a rolling German suplex. This left Jay and Hart as the legal competitors, staring each other down. A slugfest ensued before Jay applied a Queen Slayer. However, she didn't notice Blue making the blind tag. Despite Jay sinking in the Queen Slayer on Blue, it only allowed Jay to secure the tap out for her team. ##
WINNER: Thunder Rosa, Kris Statlander, Willow Nightingale & Anna Jay ##
Roderick Strong (w/The Undisputed Kingdom) vs. Bryan Keith ##
Keith intercepted Strong's charging move with a boot and unleashed a series of chops, propelling Strong to the floor with another significant boot. The two grapplers continued their struggle onto the apron, where Strong executed a brutal backbreaker on the apron's edge. Upon returning inside the ring, Strong stomped Keith in the corner. However, Keith resisted a half-and-half suplex, initiating a striking exchange. Strong executed an Angle Slam, attempted a superplex, but Keith countered with a well-executed Diamond Dust.##
Keith sought a Tiger Driver, almost settling for a sunset flip, but Strong swiftly countered with a jumping knee. This was followed by the End of Heartache, securing the victory for Strong. ##
WINNER: Roderick Strong (w/The Undisputed Kingdom) ##
After the match, Adam Cole positioned himself in the center of the ring and asserted that when he mentioned things changing, he meant it. He expressed a lack of concern for the fans, asserting that they deserve everything. Acknowledging Strong's 20-year tenure, Cole declared that the International Title has his name written all over it. He commended Taven and Bennett as the greatest ROH Tag Team Champions, emphasizing that they never received the respect they deserved.##
Cole then shifted his focus to Wardlow, describing him as a monster and dominator, now surrounded by people who respect him. Cole hinted at a future conquest for the AEW World Championship, urging the fans to welcome their new Kingdom. He encouraged them to get comfortable, emphasizing their prolonged presence.##
In a backstage interview with Renee Paquette, Deonna Purrazzo expressed her continued excitement after her debut last week. She addressed Toni Storm's apparent ignorance of her, stating that if Storm acts like she doesn't know who she is, Purrazzo's team will send her a screener of her AEW debut on Collision. Red Velvet joined the conversation, announcing her Collision debut and expressing her intention to see Purrazzo this Saturday. ##
Sting & Darby Allin (w/Ric Flair) vs. Powerhouse Hobbs & Konosuke Takeshita (w/Don Callis) in a Tornado Tag ##
All four guys ended up brawling into the crowd, with Sting & Hobbs facing off and Allin & Takeshita doing the same. Sting put Hobbs on a road case and slammed him into some trash cans, while Takeshita smacked Allin around with chops, mocking Flair in the process. Allin fought back, dropkicking Takeshita off the apron and attempting a Coffin Drop. However, Takeshita caught him and delivered a rolling German on the floor, leading us to a commercial break. ##
During the break, Hobbs & Takeshtia set up a table ringside with what I think was Sting’s eyes painted on it. Allin tried to make a comeback, but Takeshita & Hobbs executed a double team flipping powerslam, launching Allin across the ring in a crazy sight. Sting was left to fight for his team with Stinger Splashes but got cut off by a Takeshita jumping knee. Ric Flair entered the ring, attempting chops on Hobbs who shrugged them off, so Flair went for eye pokes instead. Sting sent Takeshita packing, and Allin hit a dive to the floor.##
Sting dropped Hobbs with a spinebuster as all four men brawled to the stage. Hobbs sent Sting into the metal entrance structure, and Allin dodged a charging knee from Takeshita, causing Takeshita to hit the guardrail. Allin climbed up high on the stage and jumped off with a Coffin Drop. Hobbs lifted Sting and walked him to the edge of the stage where the table was, but Sting countered and hit a Scorpion Death Drop off the stage through the table. Sting draped an arm across Hobbs for the victory. ##
WINNER: Sting & Darby Allin (w/Ric Flair) ##
After the finish, the referee, doctors, and Flair attended to Sting, who faced difficulty getting back into the ring and standing up. Despite the struggle, he eventually managed to do so. Sting exchanged words with Allin, and there's a genuine concern about whether Sting might be legitimately hurt after that conclusion. ##
Tony Schiavone entered the ring and joined Sting, Allin, and Flair to discuss Sting's final match at Revolution. Schiavone inquired about who Sting's last opponent would be, but before an answer could be given, The Young Bucks' music interrupted. Matt & Nick Jackson emerged in black and white jackets, sporting new mustaches. The Bucks didn't say anything; instead, they simply stared down Sting, Allin, and Flair. Excalibur noted that this essentially served as a challenge for Sting's retirement match at Revolution. ##
