We get the Dynamite intro video, ending with Jon Moxley and Jake Hager’s interaction from last week, then live shots of the crowd and Jake Hager’s music hits. We’re starting the night with Jake Hager vs. Jon Moxley!
Match 1 - Jon Moxley (0-0) vs. Jake Hager (4-3)
Moxley starts fast and brawls with Hager, who continually tries taking Moxley to the mat. After about 10 minutes, the two spill to the outside. While they continue to fight, Samoa Joe’s music hits and the Samoan Submission Machine marches down to ringside. The ref jumps out of the ring and tells Joe to go to the back. Joe hits him with a forearm and knocks the ref out. Then he goes for Hager, who slides back in the ring. Moxley gets in Joe’s face and shoves him. They start brawling, and Joe tosses Moxley into the metal ringpost and busts him open! Another ref and security run from the back and take Joe up the ramp and away from the action.
Hager slides back out of the ring and slides Moxley into the ring. The new ref asks Moxley if he can continue, and he says he can. He goes for Hager, but stumbles and Hager hits a belly-to-belly suplex, then follows that up with a Swagger Bomb and goes for the pinfall. 1…2…3! Jake Hager defeats Jon Moxley at 17:10. After the match, Hager celebrates and walks up the ramp, while Moxley is checked on by medical personnel.

Alexa Bliss comes out to the ring next. She no longer has Lily, and her eyes are her normal color. She gets to the ring and grabs a mic. “I stand here as a changed woman. When I came to All Elite Wrestling, I tapped into a part of me that I had hidden deep inside because I thought I needed help to overcome Jade Cargill. Now I see that it was a lie - Lily only made me weaker. So I’m here again, asking for a rematch. This time, my head isn’t clouded, and I’m ready for another chance.”
Jade Cargill comes out to the stage - “What makes you think that you deserve another shot at the most prestigious title in AEW? I have defeated all comers. I’ve fought the most matches in all of AEW, and I stand undefeated - something our Men’s World Champion can say no longer. And now, just because you’ve stopped playing with dolls, you think you should have another shot at the Baddest B**** on the Planet?”
Alexa - “I’ll do whatever it takes for another shot.” Jade smiles at this and nods, then turns to leave, before turning and saying, “Boot camp starts next week.”

After the break, we see a backstage conversation between Hook and Taz from before the show.
Taz - “What the hell is going on with you, Hook? You’ve stopped taking my calls. You didn’t come over for dinner. You may as well have let Raven throw me off that stage.”
Hook - “Chill, dad. Give me some space. Let me make my own path.”
Taz - “Son, following Raven around isn’t making your own path. It’s following a delusional megalomaniac.” Hook stares at Taz, then walks off.

Match 2 - The Butcher & The Blade (2-5) vs. Beer Money (1-0)
Beer Money picks up the win with the DWI in 5:31.

We see a pre-taped interview with Coach and Jeff Jarrett.
Coach - “What’s the prognosis on your foot, Jeff? You know Tony has a 60-day rule, which he’s actually extended by a few days to get you to Full Gear. Will you be back at full strength by then? Or will we have to crown an interim champion?”
Jeff - “My foot was shattered into a million pieces, Coach. I’m working my ass off to get back into shape by Full Gear. And yet, these AEW fans just want to see me fail. They don’t appreciate greatness when it’s right in front of them. Hell, they probably can’t even recognize greatness.”
Coach - “Now, that’s a little harsh. What do you think about facing Brian Cage? Or Cody’s claims to deserve another shot?”
Jeff - “I could give a rat’s behind about who stands across the ring from me. Jeff Jarrett will walk into Full Gear with the AEW World Championship, and Jeff Jarrett will walk out of Full Gear with the AEW World Championship.”

The New Day are in the back, eating some Booty O’s. They look at the camera.
Kofi - “Now that we’re back at full strength, it’s time for us to get revenge on LAX.”
Xavier - “That starts tonight. After E takes care of 5150, do you guys wanna play some 2K?” Kofi nods.
Big E - “Nothing can stop us now. I’m going to run through those guys and get your rematch with LAX on the books.”

Match 3 - Matt Riddle (5-4) w/ Jeff Cobb vs. Brian Cage (3-2) w/ Shelton Benjamin & Cedric Alexander
During Riddle’s entrance with Cobb, Beer Money attacks. They shove Cobb off the stage onto the floor. They back off and wave at Riddle, as he goes to check on Cobb. He then heads to the ring to face Cage, while distracted and on edge.
Cage dodges a knee to the face and immediately starts overpowering Riddle. He hits the Drill Claw at 3:32 and picks up the win.
After the match, Benjamin and Alexander hit the ring and start to beat down Riddle. Cody Rhodes’ music hits, and he walks down to the ring. The three in the ring stop beating on Riddle and stare down Rhodes. Cage signals for him to enter the ring. Rhodes holds up a finger, then turns toward the stage and a rock lick hits the speakers. The words “Superkick Party!” play loudly over the speakers and out walk Matt and Nick Jackson of The Young Bucks! The crowd goes wild as they run down and stand next to Rhodes.
The new trio gets into the ring and stands face-to-face with Cage, Benjamin and Alexander. The heel trio backs away, then moves to attack. The Young Bucks react quickly and superkick both Benjamin and Alexander. This causes Cage to hesitate. He backs off and slides out of the ring. Benjamin and Alexander both roll out, and they head to the back. Cody grabs a mic.
“Clearly, my friends here need no introduction. They are the Young Bucks. And together, we are bringing the Bullet Club to AEW. We are putting The Apex on notice. And we are putting Brian Cage's little group on notice. When we put our heads together, nothing can stop us!"

Match 4 - Non-title - Sasha Banks (1-0) vs. Angelina Love (2-0)
Banks wins with the Bank Statement at 8:43. Love got in some offense early, only for Banks to fight back. She tried for a Bank Statement early, but Love raked her eyes to extend the match. Banks eventually pulled out the win.
She grabs a mic afterward. “By this time next week, The Boss will have been the definitive top women’s wrestler in the world for 9 months. In that time, I have defended the belt all over the world. I’ve been to WrestleMania and SummerSlam. I’ve defeated the likes of Becky Lynch, Asuka and Charlotte Flair. And now I’m in AEW. I just fought in front of all of you here in beautiful Arthur Ashe Stadium. I’ve vanquished the Beautiful People. I’ve got more UWA title defenses coming up around the world. But it’s time for me to defend the belt on my new home turf. Jade Cargill, you’ve got a title shot coming up. Let’s put a date on it. It’s the showdown everyone in the world has been waiting for.”

Match 5 - Big E (1-0) vs. 5150 (1-7) - If Big E wins, New Day gets their rematch with LAX
Tag rules for Slice Boogie and Danny Rivera. Big E runs through both and pins Rivera after the Big Ending at 4:32. After the match, he announces the New Day will get their revenge on LAX at AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam on Oct. 19.
After the break, Homicide, Hernandez and Konnan are backstage yelling at Slice and Danny for losing to Big E.
Konnan - “This group has no use for losers. And you two have been dragging us down for far too long. Boys?”
Homicide and Hernandez pounce on Slice and Danny, and leave them laying.

Main Event - AEW tag team titles - Steiner Bros. (6-0) © vs. The Acclaimed (2-1)
The Acclaimed give the Steiners everything they can handle, and the hometown crowd loves it. Eventually, the Steiners’ experience shines through and they win with the Super Steiner Drop - Scott holding Caster up and Rick hitting a diving bulldog for the pinfall at 14:45. After the match, the two teams shake hands and the Acclaimed lift the Steiners’ arms. The brothers then leave the ring with the belts, while Caster and Bowens lead a rap with the fans.
The rap is cut off by 90’s rock music, as The Outsiders make their entrance. The Acclaimed move to get out of the ring, but Nash motions at them to hold on. The Outsiders get in the ring, and Scott Hall has a mic.
Hall - “Hey, yo. Big Sexy and the Bad Guy are here in Queens. We figured this was as good of a place as any to officially come out. We’ve already put Scott and Rick on notice. We are here in AEW to do one thing - win championships. But we also wanted to give these guys some props for the way they hung in with the Steiners.”
Hall and Nash turn toward Caster and Bowens and extend their hands. As The Acclaimed go to shake them, the Outsiders kick them square between the legs. Nash lifts Bowens up for the Jackknife Powerbomb, while Hall lifts Caster up for the Razor’s Edge. They hit the moves to a round of boos, and the show comes to a close.
