4/17 AEW Dynamite Results – No cold open video intro, no theme. Just a live shot inside Indiana Farmers Coliseum where Excalibur quickly welcomes us to the show.

IWGP Heavyweight Champion Jon Moxley Kicks Off The Show

We then immediately hear the familiar sounds of “Wild Thing.” From there, Justin Roberts officially welcomes the brand new IWGP Heavyweight Champion, Jon Moxley.

Mox talks about the significance of the Indianapolis area to the early part of his career. He brings up those who said he could not do something. He talks about proving them wrong and climbing mountains. He points out the IWGP title on his shoulder and fans chant “You deserve it!”

He says he has been on a mission to capture that title for the past five years. He talks about the depths he went to ensure he captured that title. He says what he did is what AEW is all about. He then brings up The Don Callis Family and everyone boos.

Jon calls Don Callis a creep that is feeding lies to a bunch of talented people. He mentions them putting a hit out and trying to injure his friend and teammate Bryan Danielson. He says if you’re gonna put a target on Bryan’s back, you might as well put one on mine. He asks if they want to get violent. “You’re welcome to come find me, I’ll be here all night. And I suspect maybe, I’m not your type.”

He threatens running up on them with a tire iron or running over them with a car, but says they wouldn’t learn anything. He says he’s gonna pick the biggest, baddest and meanest one of them. He challenges Powerhouse Hobbs to a match on one week from tonight in the main event of AEW Dynamite in Jacksonville. In that much, Hobbs will find out just how out of his depth he is when he steps into the ring with the IWGP World Champion.

He says he’s not gonna make it quick and easy. He’s gonna drag Hobbs to the deepest waters he’s ever been in. When he sinks to the bottom of the ocean, he’ll know the difference between he and him. Mox says there are a lot of great wrestlers in this world but there is only one, and there is only ever gonna be one Jon Moxley. On that mic drop moment, he walks off.

Mercedes Mone Sends A Message To Julia Hart & Willow Nightingale

Mercedes Mone is backstage talking directly into the camera. She says someone attacked her on the dark because they’re too afraid to fight her in the light. She assumes it to be Julia Hart, or someone who wants her to think it is her in Willow Nightingale. She says regardless, she’ll be watching the mixed tag match with them tonight. She assures them there is a price to pay when you mess with Mercedes Mone.

Adam Copeland & Willow Nightingale vs. Brody King & Julia Hart

On that note, we return inside the Indiana Farmers Coliseum where the theme for Adam Copeland hits. Out comes “The Rated-R Superstar” to fireworks and pyro. He heads to the ring for our first match of the evening, which is the very match Mercedes Mone was just referencing. He settles inside the squared circle and the crowd in Indianapolis goes wild.

Willow Nightingale’s theme hits after that and she gets a good pop as well, but doesn’t come out. Instead, we see her backstage on the floor being checked on by doctors. Stokely Hathaway is talking to her to see if she is okay. She says she can still compete but is struggling to get up. We see Copeland watching on from inside the building as the lights go out. When they come back on, Brody King attacks Copeland from behind.

Julia Hart is standing on the entrance ramp and begins heading down to the ringside, where King is beating the hell out of Copeland. He runs him into the barricade. After some more punishment, we see King hit a wrecking ball splash onto Copeland on the barricade. The bell has yet to even sound to make this one official. King heads in the ring and gloats as fans boo. The referee checks on Copeland as he crawls on the floor trying to get up.

Copeland eventually drags himself into the ring and upon standing up, the bell sounds to get this one officially off-and-running. King immediately picks up where he left off, brutalizing Copeland, as Excalibur talks us into a quick mid-match commercial break. When we return, Copeland fights back into competitive form and takes over. Willow makes it to the ring and tags in.

She hits a few spots on King but walks into a KO shot with a chain-wrapped fist from Hart. Hart gets the win. After the match, Mercedes Mone runs out and makes the save and then has a stare down with Willow.

Winners: Brody King & Julia Hart

Renee Paquette Sits Down With AEW Champion Samoa Joe

Backstage, Renee Paquette sits down with AEW World Champion Samoa Joe for an interview about his title defense against Swerve Strickland at AEW Dynasty 2024 this coming weekend. He talks about Swerve simply being someone who gets up after he knocks him down. He assures us he’ll knock him down yet again at AEW Dynasty. We head to another commercial break.

– When we return from the break, we see a video package for FTR that cuts off a few seconds after it starts. We see a live shot of The Young Bucks with headsets on with Kazuchika Okada behind them. They talk about tonight being a stacked show and says that they’ll put the FTR segment on social because it’s been bumped. They walk off and we see Tony Khan sitting next to them with a headset on.

The Young Bucks & Kazuchika Okada vs. Penta El Zero Miedo, PAC & Daniel Garcia

The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with this one. Early on, we see PAC and Penta double-teaming Jackson to get the early offensive jump on The Elite trio. After Okada tags in and helps shift the offense in his team’s favor, we head into a mid-match commercial break. When we return, we see some funny spots, including Jackson doing his own commentary in the ring while fighting. The Elite end up getting the win and attacking Garcia with a ladder afterwards.

Winners: The Young Bucks & Kazuchika Okada
