It’s main event time!

We return back inside the arena where the familiar sounds of Eddie Kingston’s theme hits. Out comes “The Mad King” to a big pop. He settles in the ring and his music dies down. The equally familiar sounds of Samoa Joe’s entrance tune hits next and the AEW World Champion makes his way out.

The bell sounds and at 9:55pm, we’re officially off-and-running with our AEW World Championship main event of this special Winter Is Coming themed episode of AEW Dynamite. Kingston taking the champ to the corner before the ref intervenes. Joe goes for a lock up with the challenger once again.

We see HOOK lingering around at ringside, only to be ejected by the ref. Side headlock by Eddie back in the ring, but Joe stops the momentum by getting to one knee. He steps back up for a backdrop suplex sending Kingston to the canvas before landing some hard punches on the challenger.

Eddie heads to the corner to recover, trying to fight back before the champ lands some more shots. Kingston manages to send Joe to the mat with what appears to be a cutter, starting to take over as the show heads into a mid-match commercial break, which the commentators point out is the final of the evening.

When the show returns, we see Joe is control, but not for long, as Kingston lets out a war scream and unloads with a body punch combination. He decks Joe and starts taunting the AEW World Champion, daring him to come at him. Joe does exactly that, blasting him with repeated kicks to the bread basket.

Kingston answers back with a wild combo of his own, but Joe wastes no time blasting Joe with repeated shots that has him dizzy and wobbling. Joe hits the ropes to finish him off, but “The Mad King” springs to life and turns Joe inside-out. Fans react with a loud “Eddie! Eddie!” chant.

We get dueling chants from the Atlanta crowd as the two take turns in the offensive lead for brief stints. Joe hits a super fast powerslam to Kingston off the ropes, Dustin Rhodes-style, for a close two-count. Kingston and Joe trade another back-and-forth series of striking combos.

Kingston struggles but connects with an exploder on Joe for a close two-count of his own. Joe fights back into the lead and secures an STF. Kingston bites the thumb of Joe to free himself. Kingston hits a DDT but Joe rolls out to the floor before he can attempt a follow-up cover.

“The Mad King” waits for Joe to recover and return to the ring. When he does, he pulls down the straps and times his finisher. Joe walks right into it, but as Kingston goes for the spinning back-fist, Joe blocks it and moments later, locks Kingston in his choke finisher for the tap out victory to retain.

Winner and STILL AEW World Champion: Samoa Joe
