It’s Wednesday night, and you know what that means …The Opps (c) vs. LFI

When the show returns from the break, we shoot down to ringside where the commentators set the stage for what feels like the main event for the AEW Dynamite portion of the evening. Hangman Page heads to commentary to help call the action.

Out first for this AEW Trios World Championship match is LFI, with Dralistico, RUSH, and The Beast Mortos ready to challenge The Opps title-holders of Samoa Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs and Katsuyori Shibata. The champs come out next, curiously using separate entrances for Hobbs, Shibata and Joe as they head to the ring.

The bell sounds to get things officially off-and-running. Hobbs and Mortos start things off for their respective teams at the onset. Hobbs and Mortos each power the other into the corner. Hobbs takes the upper hand to set Mortos up in the turnbuckle, knocking Dralistico off the apron when he tries to intervene.

This allows The Beast to take him to the mat. Hobbs is back up and takes Mortos down with a shoulder tackle, and RUSH tags in. He calls for Shibata to get in, and Shibata takes the tag to land a flurry of strikes on RUSH, who responds with some chops.

Joe tags himself in shortly after that and the crowd comes to life. Mortos tags in as well, and we get another big man battle as Mortos slaps Joe in the face only to take some jabs from the champ. He sends Mortos down before getting a tag to Shibata.

Shibata hits a snap-mare on Mortos before the rest of LFI run in for an assist. We then see things begin to come unglued, as LFI use a numbers advantage attack on Shibata, sending him to the corner for a triple dropkick. On that note, we shift gears and head into a mid-match commercial break.

When the show returns, it doesn’t take long for things to come to a conclusion. A definitive one at that. After a few more additional minutes of back-and-forth action, The Opps settle into a comfortable offensive lead, where Joe chokes out Mortos for the win.

Once the match wraps up, we see LFI gang up and beat down Joe and the other members of The Opps. This continues until Hangman Page takes off his headset on commentary and hits the ring. He looks for a Buckshot Lariat, but LFI bail. He and Joe stare each other down. Joe slams Page’s title onto his chest and walks off.

Winners and STILL AEW Trios World Champions: The Opps

Daniel Garcia & Wheeler Yuta vs. Orange Cassidy & Kyle O’Reilly

The first two AEW Dynamite hours of tonight’s three-hour show wrap up there. We even get the screen cutting and coming back like a different show is about to start, complete with the commentators welcoming us like we just tuned in.

We get right down to action, as after a quick AEW Saturday Tailgate Brawl plug for the AEW WrestleDream 2025 pay-per-view lead-in this weekend, we head back down to the ring for our next match of the evening. Or first, depending on how we’re supposed to chop this up.

Wheeler Yuta and Daniel Garcia makes their way out to the ring with Marina Shafir by their side. The Death Riders duo with their ringside company settle into the ring and their music dies down. Out next come their opponents from The Conglomeration, Kyle O’Reilly and Orange Cassidy.

Kicking things off for their respective teams are Cassidy and Yuta. That is, until Wheeler tags out to Garcia, who circles the mat to goad Cassidy into a fight. Orange thinks better of it in the corner, before escaping a hold from Garcia. Daniel gets him to the mat but Cassidy eventually kips up to his feet.

Garcia takes him right back down. Cassidy gets back to his feet, teasing putting his hands in his pockets only to do Garcia’s old dance. This seems to frustrate Daniel slightly, before O’Reilly gets in. He and Cassidy double-team Garcia, and bring Yuta in on the fun before both men take a powder on the outside to bring us to an ad break.

When we return, we see the Riders back in control as Yuta comes in for a cross-face on O’Reilly. Kyle fights back and manages to make a tag to Cassidy, who hits Sole Food on Garcia before sending Yuta down with an arm drag. He slams each man into the corner, and then lands an elbow on Garcia, but Wheeler hit with a DDT.

From there, Garcia sees an opening, but it closes quickly when Cassidy catches him with Beach Break. He looks ready for an Orange Punch, but Yuta blocks it and counters to send Orange crashing to the mat as Mox can be seen lurking in the crowd.

Stundog Millionaire on Yuta as O’Reilly comes in for a series of strikes on Garcia…who turns it around with a suplex. Kyle captures a guillotine as Mox approaches ringside. Garcia breaks free as Cassidy goes after Yuta on the outside of the ring.

Shafir distracts the ref as PAC blindsides Cassidy, while Kyle is forced to break the hold when he thinks he’s had it won…and Claudio gets the jump on Kyle on the apron before sending him back in the ring, allowing Yuta to get the victory.

Winners: Daniel Garcia & Wheeler Yuta

The Death Riders Deliver Message To Darby Allin

Once the match wraps up, The Death Riders continue the beatdown after the match, as Moxley grabs a microphone to enter the ring, but Darby’s music cuts him off. Darby comes out walking slowly after the beating he took earlier today, and he gets even more of a beating when Claudio catches him with a running uppercut.

PAC joins in, but Darby slowly makes his way toward the ring even as Yuta and Garcia run in for more damage. Mox watches on as Darby takes a kick by Marina, seemingly stopping Allin in his tracks. Mox makes fun of this as we see Darby reaching to the apron.

He creeps into the ring as the Conglomeration come out to clear the other Death Riders from ringside. Back in the ring, we see Darby revealing the AEW flag he took with him to Mount Everest, taking the microphone from Mox to say it’s never too late to say “I Quit.” Mox responds to this by dropping Darby onto the flag with a Paradigm Shift.

JetSpeed & Willow & Harley Send Top Guys Packing

Megan Bayne makes her way out for our next match, before FTR and Big Stoke come out alongside her. The four make their way to the ring, and it seems we’re going to hear from Top Gods. Stoke hands the mic to Megan, who asks Willow how it feels knowing she came out here, giving everything she had.

She says she did that only to realize it wasn’t good enough? Now look at you, trying to dust yourself off, tag in a new friend, and take another swing at the Megasus. You think that makes you a fighter, but really, that just makes you stupid.

Megan guesses she didn’t beat it through Willow’s skull hard enough, so maybe watching her tear Harley apart tonight will finally make it click. It may be be fun playing hero, but Willow’s fate will be the same as everyone else who does it…and that is bowing down before Megan Bayne.

Stokely cannot articulate how much he hates Willow Nightingale, but he can say how much he hates Kevin Knight as he talks about FTR taking out JetSpeed this Saturday. Dax takes the microphone to talk about how great FTR is, while running down the crowd.

People will not give FTR their credit but he hopes JetSpeed won’t do that, because they’re standing across the ring from God this Saturday. He’s cut off by the appearance of JetSpeed Babes alongside Harley Cameron, the latter saying she knows what FTR stands for. “Fear The ‘Rath!”

Megan Bayne vs. Harley Cameron

They opt to meet the four rivals in the ring, and sure enough, it’s a big ol’ brawl at ringside. JetSpeed and Willow and Harley send them running, but then they are informed by the ring announcer that the Megan Bayne match against Harley Cameron starts now.

The bell sounds and off we go. Bayne sends Cameron to the corner with a big boot. She sends her across the ring for another running attack, but Harley dodges it to get some shots in, before Bayne takes her down hard. She follows up with a suplex, before catching Harley in the corner for some stomps.

We see a running splash in the corner followed by a suplex, and Bayne is in control as she lands a couple body slams. Harley shows some tenacity as she gets back to her feet, sending Megan into the ropes on a bulldog before attacking the Megasus in the ropes. She slams Bayne’s face into the turnbuckle.

Bayne then lands a back suplex bringing Harley into the ring and onto the canvas. On that note, the show shifts gears and heads into a mid-match commercial break as the action continues. When we return, we see the Megasus regains control with a leg-sweep sending Cameron down hard.

She goes up top but is intercepted by Harley, who gets her in a tree of woe for a dropkick. Harley hits the ropes for a head-scissors into a DDT, but only gets a near-fall. Bayne fights back a suplex for a Falcon Arrow for a two count of her own.

Bayne gets Cameron up on her shoulders, climbing the turnbuckle, but Harley lands a sunset flip of sorts, rolling Megan up for a two count. She sends the Megasus to the corner for a couple hip checks, before Bayne lays her out with a lariat.

A Fate’s Descent on Cameron and Megan gets the cover, only for Harley to kick out. From there, it becomes apparent that Bayne has had enough of this. She then proceeds to set Cameron up for a running Liger Bomb for the pinfall victory.

Winner: Megan Bayne

Backstage With HOOK & Eddie Kingston

We shoot backstage, where we hear from HOOK and Eddie Kingston. The two proceed to address moving on from Sammy Guevara and looking to get into the tag division. They issue an open challenge for the AEW Saturday Tailgate Brawl ahead of AEW WrestleDream on Saturday. We head to a break.

Backstage With Max Caster & Anthony Bowens

In a different area backstage, we hear from the former duo known as The Acclaimed. Max Caster and Anthony Bowens. There is big emphasis on the fact the two refuse to team up ever again, and they tell Tony Khan not to book them together again. They also yell at being referred to as The Acclaimed.

Mark Briscoe & Brodido vs. The Don Callis Family

It’s main event time!

We return to the ringside area where the commentary team get us ready for our final match of the evening. The Don Callis Family of Lance Archer, Rocky Romero, and TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher make their way out for trios action. Out next are Mark Briscoe and the AEW World Tag Team Champions of Brodido, Brody King and Bandido.

The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with this one. After some early action, we see Fletcher and Briscoe eventually get at it, with the TNT Champion being sent to the corner as Brody King gets the tag. We see a triple-team situation.

This leads to King slamming Bandido onto Fletcher, and Mark Briscoe and Bandido start doing the Macerena in celebration. On that note, the show shifts gears and heads into a mid-match commercial break with literally minutes remaining in the three hour window. It looks like we’re going even longer than three hours. Lovely.

When the show returns, we see the action still in progress. Don Callis is panicking on commentary as The Don Callis Family aren’t faring so well when we return. Excalibur does a speed-read through a late announcement for Saturday involving him reading about 13 names or so in all of …eight seconds?

Things finally wrap up in the ring, as the match culminates with Brodido hitting a big spot leading to a Briscoe follow-up. Soon after we get the pin and the victory for Brodido and Briscoe. As they are celebrating, the lights flicker and out comes Kazuchika Okada, who lays out Brodido. The show ends at 11:08pm. Thanks for joining us!
