AEW Dynamite comes on the air with highlights of last week’s Beach Break show.
Earlier today, we see Will Ospreay training hard backstage throwing forearms on a heavy bag as Daniel Garcia, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta are yelling at him to continue. Jon Moxley walks in and saying quit playing grab ass, it’s game time. He doesn’t care what Hall of Fame Cope & Cage belong to, you go out there and get it done. Garcia & Yuta depart as Moxley tells Ospreay the important work is done, but the last steps are the critical ones. People make simple things so complicated, they see the target and finish line, but hesitate. Ospreay earned this and there will be a time where he has to make a difficult decision. That time will come, but his dream is not one of those, this is simple, you take the shot, don’t hesitate, pull the trigger, no matter who the target is. Moxley leaves and Ospreay continues to violently smash the heavy bag. This was really good, as that line from Moxley on no matter who the target is you have to imagine will come into play at some point down the line.
Cope & Cage (Adam Copeland & Christian Cage) vs. Death Riders (Wheeler Yuta & Daniel Garcia) for the AEW Tag Team Titles
(Solid defense for the champions, as the Boston crowd loved to hate on Yuta in this one. All signs point to The Young Bucks eventually getting a title shot, whether that be at Redemption or (more likely) All In, is yet to be determined. With Copeland, Cage & The Bang Bang Gang getting in constant scuffles with The Dogs & Death Riders, I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re getting a big tag match at the PPV.)
Crowd sings along to Copeland’s theme and right as it ends, Taz says “that song sucks” and pops the commentary crew. Renee Paquette is ringside and said she tried to get a word with Cage today, but you can imagine how that went. Copeland told her the Death Riders are real pieces of…you get the drift. C& C have never been more on the same page and look forward to picking off the Death Riders. Boston crowd loudly let Yuta know what they think of him, as he started things off with Copeland, who clobbered Yuta with a big boot, as Cage & Garcia tag in. Cage teases a Garcia style dance, but flips him off instead. Luring Garcia in, Copeland & Cage with a double hip toss, but Yuta trapped Copeland in the ring skirt and put the boots to him as Cage argued with the ref. The Death Riders young guns isolated Copeland throughout the entire break.
Things return with Copeland fading to a Garcia sleeper, but rolled through into a snap powerslam for the double down. Yuta cut off a hot tag attempt, fought with Copeland up in the corner, where Copeland bit free and dove for the Cage tag. Corner punches were slipped out by Yuta, only Cage reversed, tried a Killswitch, but settled for a reverse DDT for two. Garcia charged in, but was slammed face first onto Yuta low. Signature slingshot uppercut from Cage, who laid out Garcia with a backdrop on the floor. Back inside, diving headbutt on Yuta for a near fall, as he signaled for Killswitch, but was cut off. Copeland leap frogs his partner and both Yuta & Garcia get knocked down. Copeland & Garcia tumble to the ramp, as Cage suckered referee Bryce into thinking he’d take off the corner buckle pad, but led to an attempted low blow on Yuta, who blocked into a German suplex for two. Cage bit the noggin, went to the corner, but was crotched by Garcia leading to locomotion corner strikes. They repeat the turnbuckle spot with Yuta, but that just led to Cage hitting a low blow kick and pop-up Spear from Copeland to get the win.
Post-match, we see The Young Bucks applauding from the crowd in the balcony, as Copeland gives a nod. The Dogs & Claudio Castagnoli hit the ring and attack Copeland & Cage in a 5 on 2 beat down. The Bang Bang Gang’s music hit and they cleared the ring, brawling all around ringside. Finlay was left alone with Cage, was about to use the shillelagh, when Switchblade Jay White appeared and took it from Finlay, who hightailed it with the Death Riders through the crowd. Finlay & Cage had a staredown, as Copeland & the Bang Bang Gang stepped between them. Crowd chanted “Hug It Out”, as Copeland shook all their hands, but Cage left as White hilariously played the air drums with the shillelagh as Finlay screamed from the crowd that he wanted it back.
Match Result: Cope & Cage defeated Death Riders to retain the AEW Tag Team Titles when Cage pinned Yuta
-Footage of Hikaru Shida defeating Harley Cameron on Collision was shown to retain the TBS Title and the post-match attack on Cameron that we’re told has put her on the shelf indefinitely. Shida will defend against Queen Aminata this Saturday.
-Video package of Andrade El Idolo is shown on a yacht with a lady by his side, saying being champion is his destiny. How You Know? Soon, you will. We then go backstage to Renee Paquette with Andrade, who said he’ll fight every member of the Callis Family and take every title from them, he will. His destiny is to become AEW World Champion. Paquette reminds him how many members of the Family there are and he pulls out a box containing MJF’s Dynamite Diamond Ring. He said he has a good friend and Paquette asks if that friend is Will Ospreay? Andrade simply says (say it with me) How You Know?

-Renee Paquette is backstage with The Conglomeration saying there’s plenty of teams wanting the Trios Titles and Roderick Strong asked where are they? Orange Cassidy said now would be a perfect time for someone to walk in and challenge them. Right on cue, The Demand walks in, saying it’s time to take those titles from those backpacks. Before anything else can happen, The Conglomeration is attacked by The Lethal Twist. Ricochet said he promised to not lay a hand on the champs until they’re ready, but The Lethal Twist aren’t in The Demand…yet.
Andrade El Idolo vs. Jake Doyle
(A good first win in The Callis Family revenge tour for Andrade, whose ultimate goal is to take all the titles from the Family and defeat them all on his way to the AEW World Title. If he plans on beating every Callis Family member, it’s going to take Andrade until about next years All In to ultimately get his World title shot.)
Andrade was accompanied by two ladies during his entrance, as they take his robe and they show off the Dynamite Diamond Ring, that Andrade puts on. Doyle attacks at the bell outside, as back inside, gets squashed in the corner with multiple splashes. Went to the well one too many times, as Doyle ran into a boot a hurricanrana off the second and another off the apron outside. Andrade took off his shirt to reveal a censored F*ck Don Callis shirt and takes a photo with a female fan ringside. Taking way too long to follow-up, Doyle crotched Andrade back inside, as he grabbed him by the throat, both tumbled over the top, only Doyle held on and he hit a chokeslam onto the apron. Doyle kept Andrade grounded throughout the entire commercial break. As things returned, Andrade tried to mount a comeback, got steamrolled by multiple Doyle shoulder tackles, only on the fourth attempt, hit an enzugiri into the reset.
Andrade kips up first and takes his shirt off, popping the crowd like he just won a title. Andrade played to the crowd too long, went for his double knees and Doyle popped up with a massive body tackle. Doyle overcommitted on a corner charge, rolled outside, where Andrade hit a moonsault off the corner buckle. Back inside, Andrade tried a slingshot hurricanrana, was caught into a snazzy Liger Bomb from Doyle for two. Trying to follow up, Andrade blocked a suplex into the Three Amigos for a two count of his own. Andrade hits his corner double knees, but again, Doyle kicked out. Quickly up top, Andrade does the Eddie Guerrero shimmy, only Doyle caught him with a massive forearm in mid-air and another for good measure for a near fall. Andrade spun out of a Boss Man Slam into a crucifix for two, as they got up, Andrade hit his spinning back elbow and The DM to get the win.
We’re told Andrade will now get an AEW National Title shot against Mark Davis at Redemption. Davis came out, swinging the title, was going to come to the ring, but Andrade put on the Dynamite Diamond Ring to keep Davis & Doyle at bay.
