29 October (UPI) – The AEW World Title Eliminator tournament continued on Dynamite with former partners Kenny Omega and Hangman Adam Page reaching the final round.
The tournament, which concludes on November 7 at the Full Gear pay-per-view event, will guarantee the winner a title match against the AWW World Champion. Current AEW World Champion Jon Moxley will defend the title against Eddie Kingston at Full Gear in an I Quit match.
Page kicked off Dynamite with his tournament match against Wardlow, MJF’s bodyguard. Wardlow appeared shocked when MJF explained that if Wardlow won the tournament and then the AEW World Championship, it would go to him. MJF then had an argument with Sammy Guevara who said he would make sure MJF never joined Chris Jericho’s Inner Circle.
Page was able to survive Wardlow’s impressive strength and exited the ring with intelligence once Wardlow ditched him with the F-10. Wardlow then placed Page on the turnbuckle, but the cowboy reacted and took down the massive grappler with a Fallaway Slam.
Page then won the match and reached the final after nailing Wardlow with two Buckshot Lariats to earn the three count.
Omega, in the main event, fought Penta El Zero Miedo in his tournament match. Miedo took the place of his partner Rey Fenix who was unable to compete due to an injury.
Omega provoked Miedo and Fenix to start the match by taking off his shirt to reveal his AAA Mega World Championship, a title he won by defeating Fenix in Mexico’s AAA Lucha Libre world wrestling promotion.
Miedo fought hard against Omega and connected with a destroyer on the entrance ramp. Miedo also focused on Omega’s arm in an attempt to stop him from using his Angel attack with a wing.
Omega recovered, however, and executed the angel with a wing in the center of the ring to earn a three count. Omega and Page, who were once AEW World Tag Team champions together, will now face off in the final of the tournament.
TNT champion Cody defended his title against Orange Cassidy in a Lumberjack match. The bout included multiple wrestlers, known as lumberjacks, placed at ringside who could either attack Cody and Cassidy or throw them back into the ring. The Dark Order, minus their leader Mr. Brodie Lee, were especially among the lumberjacks.
Cody slammed Cassidy and himself into all the lumberjacks from the top tensioner. Cody then landed a Cutter but Cassidy kicked during a block attempt. Cassidy responded with a DDT Diving and Beach Break, but it wasn’t enough.
John Silver of The Dark Order, while the referee was distracted, then walked into the ring and attacked Cassidy with a Pump Kick. Cody took advantage of the situation and nailed Cassidy with Cross Rhodes to remain TNT champion. Cody will defend his title against Darby Allin at Full Gear.
Jericho and The Inner Circle held a town hall meeting to help decide if MJF should be allowed into the group. Town Hall was made up of wrestling artists and personalities like Eric Bischoff who asked MJF why he wanted to join the Inner Circle.
Jericho concluded the segment by announcing that if MJF can beat him at Full Gear, he can join his group.
“I will do whatever it takes to win,” MJF said.
Other AEW Dynamite moments include Kingston defeating Matt Sydal; The Young Bucks announce that if they don’t defeat FTR for the AEW World Tag Team Championships at Full Gear, they will no longer be able to compete for titles; newly crowned NWA Women’s World Champion Serena Deeb who defeated Legit Leyla Hirsch; and Shawn Spears defeating VSK before he was ambushed by Scorpio Sky.
