On November 6th, 2024 AEW aired the 266th episode of Dynamite live in Manchester New Hampshire inside SNHU Arena.
Note: This review will be shorter then normal as it be the last few mins of the match.
-Kicking off this week’s Dynamite with Tony Schiavone is in the ring and introduces The Hurt Syndicate. MVP appreciates the introduction but says he doesn’t believe he needs one and tells Schiavone that he can go. MVP says this is an official announcement from The Hurt Syndicate and introduces his business partners and brothers in arms, Shelton Benjamin & Bobby Lashley. He continues by saying their goal is to enrich the lives of younger talent and help them realize their greater potential. If he should offer them a Hurt Syndicate business card, that card is their golden ticket to success, if you accept it, it can change your life and if you reject it, this is what happens as they show last week’s beatdown on Swerve Strickland & Prince Nana. They didn’t want to make an enemy out of Strickland but he wanted to make an enemy out of them which prompted Strickland’s music to hit.
-Strickland comes out with a chain and Nana but the referees are there at the ramp to hold him back.
-Strickland gets on the mic and just says Bobby Lashley, Full Gear as MVP says they will see him there.
Tag Team Match
Trios Champions Death Raiders (Claudio Castagnoli & PAC) vs. Orange Cassidy & Darby Allin
Orange Cassidy follows with a tornado DDT on PAC but Wheeler Yuta runs in and gets taken out with an Orange Punch.
Cassidy hits another one to Claudio Castagnoli and goes to hit one to PAC but Marina Shafir runs out and takes out the referee.
Jon Moxley runs out & puts Cassidy in a Sleeper but Allin is there to take him out with his skateboard as the bell rings throwing the match out.
Winners: No One (No Contest)
-After the match Death Riders continue to attack Allin & Cassidy after including Castagnoli sending Allin right into the ring post. The Conglomeration comes out for their match next as Death Riders escape through the crowd.
-Renee Paquette is in the back with Ricochet and asks who his mystery partner tonight could be which he says he will have to keep a secret until later tonight. The Hurt Syndicate enter the picture and surround him as Ricochet tells MVP that they talked already. MVP says they just wanted to wish him a good look.
Trios Fight Without Honor Match
The Learning Tree (Chris Jericho, Bryan Keith & Big Bill) vs. The Conglomeration (Kyle O’Reilly, Tomohiro Ishii & Mark Briscoe)
Chris Jericho stops Mark Briscoe with a dropkick with a ladder in between but Briscoe dodges a chair shot and hits Jay Driller.
Briscoe climbs a very tall ladder and hits Froggy Bow to Jericho through a table then a cover but Bryan Keith is there to break it up.
Ishii takes out Jericho with a sliding lariat followed by brainbuster to get the win
Winners: The Conglomeration
-We see Death Riders leaving as AEW World Champion Jon Moxley tells Orange Cassidy that Wheeler Yuta doesn’t owe Orange anything just for being friends. Being a nice guy doesn’t buy loyalty and he isn’t his friend or student and doesn’t belong to Bryan Danielson, Orange or anybody else as he’s a soldier. He calls Darby Allin a disappointment and says maybe it’s time for them to stop playing at the thing people think he takes seriously as they walk off.
Adam Cole vs. Malakai Black
Adam Cole goes for The Boom but runs right into The End then a cover but Cole kicks out at two.
They fight in the corner where Cole hits Panama Sunrise followed by a superkick but falls back down after hitting another one.
As Malakai Black stumbles to get up he tells Cole to hit him with The Boom which he does to get the win.
Winner: Adam Cole
-We cut to Kyle O’Reilly watching on from the back while being worked on by the trainer. Cole extends his hand out as Malakai gets up and hugs him instead. Cole gets on the mic and says that Black is one of the very best he fought in his 16 year career and thanks him. Cole then tells MJF that 2 down and 1 more to go while Roderick Strong still has to win 2 more matches. Cole says MJF thinks he put roadblocks in front of him, and that’s not the case and talks about if he and Strong both win three matches, what would happen? Tony Khan told him that when both Cole & Strong get three wins, it’ll be MJF vs. them in a Triple Threat match. Cole ends it by saying that MJF will get an ass kicking from Undisputed Kingdom.
-We cut to MJF in his home, angrily watching on before he gets on his phone and tells the other line that he needs him to pay someone a visit.
-Renee Paquette is in the back with Jay White who responds to the threats Hangman Page said to him last week but before he can go far, he gets attacked by Page as they take it down to the stage. White fights back and goes for a chair shot but gets stopped and tossed into the barricade instead. Page traps White’s ankle in between the barricade and goes to hit it with a chair but Juice Robinson runs out with a chair to stop him. White gets freed and sends Page into the ring. Page escapes out of the ring and runs through the crowd as White gets on the mic and says he is going to beat, embarrass and dismantle Page at Full Gear, and he will have fun doing it while the fans will have fun watching him do it. White says Page has never been ahead of him and never will be and at Full Gear maybe he will be the first to make the Hangman tap out.
-Renee Paquette is in the back with Kris Statlander as it’s official that she’ll be challenging Mercedes Mone’ for the TBS Title at Full Gear. Statlander says she will win the title and as she walks away, we hear a car sound with Statlander on the floor. We see Kamille & Mone in a car as Mone screams to Kamille that she missed her and tells her to go get her. Statlander takes out both Kamille & Mone against the car before officials separate them.
-The Patriarchy makes its way to the ring, as Christian Cage has his own personal security watching the ring. Cage says the security is for everybody’s protection and formally welcomes Kip Sabian to The Patriarchy and says he realized that Sabian was just trying to get his attention as he’s a fatherless loser just looking for some guidance. Christian cuts to when Sabian stole the pen from Cage a couple of weeks ago and says Sabian had the foresight to see that if Cage signed the contract Death Riders would have interfered and caused him the match. And because of Sabian, Cage can stand here still as the next undisputed AEW World Champion and in that moment Sabian did more for him than any of his other sons did to him and brings in Sabian for a hug as Nick Wayne watches in confusion. Hook makes his way out and says whatever Christian has to say, to make it good and fast because he doesn’t have much patience. Christian says that Hook is a problem and an ass kicker and says what happened weeks ago to him wasn’t an attack as he needs a son like him and had to make sure he was disciplined to fall in line. Christian admits that he took out Taz from a place of love and caring as he couldn’t have another voice in his ear. Christian says that Taz saw his face and asks why he didn’t just tell Hook that it was him. It’s simple as even Taz knows that Christian can take him to heights in this business and starts talking about how when Taz moved to the big lights and buckled under the pressure and hid behind the announce table. Christian asks if Hook wants to be an announcer like his father or a world champion like Christian Cage. Christian says nobody cares if Taz is alive and he needs Hook and says he wishes his father was dead. Hook charges through the security and goes after Cage but the security separates them. Hook takes out the security with suplexes as Christian is laughing on from the ramp calling Hook a wild card.
-Alex Marvez is in the back with Don Callis who talks about Brian Cage & Lance Archer being dominant before a big unknown guy walks in and hands Callis an envelope and a box as he plays a message from MJF saying that he needs Callis to take care of some business for him as Callis reveals it’s the Dynamite Diamond ring that he puts on that MJF told him not to scratch up.
Jamie Hayter vs. Penelope Ford
Jamie Hayter stops her with a dropkick followed by a brainbuster.
Penelope Ford dodges the lariat and hits a cutter for a two count.
They go back & forth before Hayter hits Hayterade out of nowhere to get the win.
Winner: Jamie Hayter
-We get a video of Mina Shirakawa saying that she is coming next week but the screen briefly turns black and white as a QR code flashes on the screen.
-We get a video for Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada showing his highlights in both NJPW & AEW with words from Jim Ross & Excalibur as Okada is getting ready to defend his title in the Continental Classic. Okada talks down on Masahiro Chono as well, saying he was not an international star.
-Ricochet gets on the mic and says that Kyle Fletcher & Konosuke Takeshita made a mistake in allowing him to choose any partner. Ricochet says he found out that as of October 4th, someone’s contract with The Don Callis Family expired and brings out his real pissed off partner in Powerhouse Hobbs.
Tag Team Match
The Don Callis Family (International Champion Konosuke Takeshita & Kyle Fletcher) vs. Ricochet & Powerhouse Hobbs
