AEW Dynamite - Nov. 9, 2022
Cage’s music hits and the group — featuring Duran — comes out to a round of boos. In the ring, Duran grabs the mic - “Welcome to a new era in AEW. I had to get out from the stench of a team that couldn’t seal the deal. And now I’m with a group that can and will seal the deal. This is a group filled with future champions across the board. These men in the ring with me right now are the best of the best. They are elite athletic specimens and the future of this business. They are Natural Selection. And they are ticked off about being overlooked for so long.”
Match 1 - Brian Cage (5-2) w/ Cesar Duran vs. Hijo de la Park (2-5-1)
Cage wins with the Drill Claw in 4:10. After the match, Benjamin and Alexander enter the ring. Los Parks runs out to save Hijo, but the Natural Selection trio dispatches them. This lasts until Cody Rhodes and the Young Bucks come running out to clear the ring. Natural Selection retreats up the ramp as Cody grabs a mic.
Rhodes - “Brian Cage, I frankly don’t care about how angry you are or how slighted you feel about your time in this business. Until you’re made to paint your face silver and wear a spandex bodysuit, I don’t think you have anything to complain about. At Full Gear, I’m going to handle my business against you and remain AEW World Champion.”

Matt Riddle and Jeff Cobb are backstage with Mick Foley. Riddle and Foley are playing Checkers.
Riddle - “All I’m saying, Mr. Foley, is that it would be an honor and totally awesome if you joined us against the Apex at Full Gear. We still need to find three people to help us out!”
Foley - “Well, I do have three faces. But I don’t think they can all help out at the same time. I’d be happy to join as long as you find two more partners. In fact, I think our partnership would be…groovy, man.”
Riddle smiles and nods his head. “Yeah, groovy bro. Groovy as gravy.”

Match 2 - Peter Avalon and Dean Malenko (2-1) vs. The Acclaimed (3-3)
The Acclaimed win with a Max Caster Mic Drop on Peter Avalon in 3:10. Afterward, Malenko walks off instead of waiting for Avalon to get off the mat.

Malakai Black is in the ring with the rest of the House of Black. He calls Hook out, and wants to hear his answer about joining the House of Black.
Hook’s music hits and he walks slowly to the ring. Taz gets out from the announcers’ desk and goes to talk to his son, who just shoves past him. Raven’s music hits and Hook pauses. Raven is on the stage, Hook on the ramp and the House of Black in the ring.
Raven - “Hook, think long and hard about what you’re doing. I know your dad and I have disagreed about your next step, but we both agree that the man in the ring is just using you to further his own agenda.”
Black - “And what about you, Raven? You use people up and you spit them out. How long before you spit Hook out, used up and directionless like all the members of your Flock?”
Raven - “Hook is the future of this business. He just needs a little guidance. And I’m the man to guide him. I want one more chance at you, Black, in a hardcore, no **** given match. A Raven’s Rules match, you might say. When I beat you, you will stay the hell away from Hook.”
Black - “I relish another chance to kick your lights out, Raven. But I’m going to talk to Hook for a moment. Hook, don’t let this man or anyone else tell you what to do. Make your own decisions. But there is a vacancy in the House of Black for you.”
Hook looks back and forth between the ring and the stage, then hops the railing and leaves through the crowd.
—
Match 3 - Big E (2-0) vs. Homicide (0-1-1)
Big E wins with the Big Ending in 5:48. Homicide tried staying out of E’s reach with quick attacks, but E eventually got a hold of him and put the match away quickly.

Ronda Rousey comes to the ring and says she wanted to introduce someone who will be the next AEW Women’s Champion, and the one to end Jade Cargill’s undefeated streak. As well as a friend - Paige VanZant! Paige comes to the ring and gets the mic.
VanZant - “Jade Cargill and I have been on a collision course since AEW began. Jade, you bested me the first time. Now I’ve been training for many more months, and I’m ready to take the next step and become AEW Women’s Champion!”
Cargill responds and comes out carrying the belt. “Paige, you are like a gnat that I can’t quite catch. Always buzzing around and annoying me. Frankly, I wish you’d just go away. You don’t belong in the same ring as me. You barely belong in the same company as me. I’m the baddest b**** on the planet, and you’re nothing but a little girl.”
Beth Phoenix appears on the screen, holding the stolen UWA Women’s Championship. “Aren’t the two of you cute? Three, if you’re counting Ronda Sue. When the three of you were dreaming about entering the ring, you were watching the Glamazon dominate the landscape of professional wrestling. You’re all fighting over the little gold piece around Jade’s waist. While I’m going for the real prize in Women’s Wrestling — the UWA Championship.”
Rousey - “Beth, if you think you're so far above what we’re doing here, why don’t you put your money where your mouth is and face me next week.”

During the commercial, Samoa Joe arrived at the arena in his car. As he pulled into a parking spot, Jon Moxley appeared out of nowhere with a baseball bat and smashed in the windows and yelled. Security came and carted Moxley away while Joe exited the car looking pissed.

Match 4 - Alexa Bliss & Riho vs. Madison Rayne & Angelina Love
Bliss and Riho are controlling the match after about 6 minutes when the lights flicker and Bliss puts her hands to her ears. She drops off the apron and falls to the floor, writhing in pain. Rayne rolls Riho up in the ring for the win at 7:03.

Someone is doing push-ups in a gym with hip hop music playing in the background. He stands up and walks toward the camera. "My name is Montel Vontavius Porter. November 23. I'm Comin' to be the MVP of AEW."

The Steiners come to the ring, and Rick Starts with the mic. The crowd starts barking, but the brothers wave them down.
Rick - “Thank you for the ovation, but we’ve got to set the record straight. Scotty and I have had a few fights over the years, as brothers do. But Scott Hall’s assertion that I can’t trust my brother when we Steinerize the Outsiders at Full Gear? You’re not driving a wedge between us now. Now, my brother has a little math lesson for the kids at home.”
Scott - “Full Gear is on November 20. That’s in like 11 days. There are two Steiners and two Outsiders. Matching up for the ninth time — according to my nephew, at least. I’m too old to remember that s***. And we’re tied at 4 wins each. That means if you take 4 out of 8, multiply by 11, divide by 4 and find the square root, it all comes to equal us kicking your ass.” Rick looked over at him, puzzled, then started barking into the mic.

Tony Khan is meeting in his office with Joe and Mox. He tells them they need to stay away from each other from now on unless it’s in a ring at Full Gear. Mox is lucky Joe isn’t pressing charges; Tony is going to cover the cost of the damage to Joe’s car, and is going to take it out of Mox’s paycheck.

Main Event - Shawn Spears (7-4) w/ JBL vs. Jeff Cobb (6-4)
Spears wins with the C4 after JBL tripped Cobb up from the outside, at 13:45.
After the match, JBL and Spears continued a beatdown on Cobb until Riddle ran out to even the odds. This continued until Beer Money ran out…then “Heyyyyyy, hey hey hey!” hits the speakers and out runs Mick Foley in full tie-dye! Coach yells “It’s Dude Love! Here to save the day!”
The Dude clotheslines Roode and tosses him from the ring before turning into a clothesline from JBL. The faces get overpowered again when another song hits the speakers – “Walk" by Pantera.
Taz - "It's Rob Van Dam! Here in AEW!"
RVD runs out as the Apex members decide to scatter. In the ring, Riddle and RVD embrace, while Cobb and Foley shake hands, and they stare down the Apex members on the ramp. Spears yells that they still need one more person, as the show ends.
