AEW Dynamite: Blood and Guts
This week, it’s time for the two-ring, double-cage spectacular that is Blood & Guts! The women go to war as Willow Nightingale, Queen Aminata, the Brawling Birds, & the Wrathlanders come together to battle Divine Dominion, the Triangle of Madness, & Persephone. Plus, The Don Callis Family faces off against an all-star coalition of AEW World Champion Will Ospreay, Adam Copeland, Steven Borden, Darby Allin, & the Young Bucks.
:aew:
— The show opens up with Excalibur, Taz and Toni Schiavone welcoming us. The cage then comes down for Blood & Guts and commentary announces that the Women’s Blood & Guts Match will start the show.
— We head to the back, where Don Callis Family boast about having the upper hand ahead of the Men’s Blood & Guts Match. Don Callis Family tells Renee Paquette exactly why they’re going to win tonight’s match. Kyle Fletcher says he will lead this team to victory. Fletcher says he will defeat Will Ospreay for the AEW World Title at Full Gear. Callis says they live by three simple concepts: titles, money, and Kazuchika Okada says family.
— We then hear from the opposing team, introduced by Mick Foley. Will Ospreay reflects on his history with the Don Callis Family, while The Young Bucks acknowledge that competing in their third Blood & Guts match might make them a little crazy. Darby Allin insists that running a marathon won't slow him down, and Steven Borden says he's ready to return to action following his frightening injury at WrestleDream.
Cope closes out the segment by revealing he's wearing the same gear from his memorable match against Foley. He reflects on the physical punishment Foley endured that night and warns that he may have to dish out similar punishment to the Don Callis Family.
— A video package narrated by Dean Malenko highlights tonight's Blood & Guts matches. Back at ringside, Justin Roberts explains the rules, including that victory can only come through submission or surrender. Following the opening three-minute period, additional competitors will enter at intervals determined in a manner similar to the Casino Gauntlet.
Women's Blood & Guts Match: Alex Windsor, Jamie Hayter, Harley Cameron, Kris Statlander, Willow Nightingale & Queen Aminata vs. Thekla, Julia Hart, Skye Blue, Megan Bayne, Lena Kross & Persephone
Megan Bayne makes her entrance carrying a golden steel chair, with her team having won the backstage coin toss to secure the advantage. Kris Statlander follows with a trashcan containing kendo sticks, and the two women start the match.
Statlander gets the better of the early exchanges, taking Bayne down before climbing the ropes. Bayne fights her off and connects with a hurricanrana before retrieving another steel chair. She looks to use her golden chair, but Statlander throws the other chair directly into her face.
Statlander grabs the golden chair and uses it against Bayne before setting it up in the corner. The opening three-minute period expires, bringing Persephone into the match with a briefcase in hand.
Persephone immediately blasts Statlander with the briefcase and sends her into the corner. Bayne gets back to her feet, now bleeding from the earlier chair shot, and joins Persephone in delivering a two-on-one attack as we head to a commercial break as the action continues.
We return from the break to find Persephone using a pair of pliers on Statlander, but Queen Aminata makes her entrance to even the odds. Aminata brings the TBS Championship she won from Persephone last week, now wrapped in barbed wire. Persephone initially fights her off but becomes distracted by the title, allowing Aminata to take control.
Aminata sets Persephone up for Chocolate Kisses while Statlander holds a trashcan lid in position. Aminata then strikes Persephone with the barbed wire-covered championship before delivering a suplex onto a steel chair.
Bayne sends Statlander into the cage wall before turning her attention to Aminata. Statlander recovers to help her partner as Skye Blue makes her entrance. Blue catches Statlander approaching on the ramp and smashes a light tube over her head before heading toward the cage.
Aminata knocks Blue off the cage door to the floor, but turns around into a chair shot from Persephone. Blue eventually enters the cage, with Statlander following close behind. Blue connects with Code Blue before pursuing Statlander into the opposite ring and attacking her with a kendo stick.
Willow Nightingale enters next, carrying a trashcan lid decorated with a smiley face and a backpack containing additional weapons. Willow goes after Blue and attempts a slingshot maneuver, but Blue sends her crashing into the cage wall as we head to another commercial break.
Back from the break, Willow is working over Bayne in the corner while the other competitors continue fighting in the opposite ring. Willow finally empties her backpack, dumping a collection of toy bricks and broken glass onto the canvas.
Blue attempts to use the pile to her advantage, but Willow turns things around and slams her onto the bricks and glass. Thekla makes her entrance next, bringing a trashcan into the cage. Willow immediately attacks her, but Thekla fights back and takes Nightingale down.
Thekla removes her belt and looks to use it as a weapon, but Queen Aminata responds by taking off her own belt. The two exchange strikes with their belts until Aminata gets the upper hand.
Elsewhere, Willow Nightingale continues battling a bloodied Skye Blue as Alex Windsor makes her entrance carrying a barbed wire-wrapped 2x4. Blue exits the cage to confront the AEW Women's World Tag Team Champion, but Windsor catches her with a shot from the weapon.
A piece of barbed wire briefly becomes lodged in Blue's back before Windsor removes her championship belt and uses it to continue the attack. Blue eventually turns the tables on Windsor as we head to another commercial break.
Back from the break, Lena Kross makes her entrance carrying a steel chair. She heads straight into the cage and delivers German suplexes to nearly every member of the opposing team. Aminata attacks her with a kendo stick, but Kross shrugs it off before kicking a chair out of Statlander's hands.
Kross follows up with a TKO on Willow and a backbreaker on Aminata. She joins Bayne in sending Willow into the cage wall before regrouping with Persephone and their teammates for a beatdown in the opposite ring.
Harley Cameron enters next with a mystery bag, immediately taking out several opponents with a crossbody before connecting with a headscissors on Kross. Cameron's arrival allows her team to regain control until Kross goes after her.
Cameron fights back and pulls out a ukulele apparently given to her by Jeff Jarrett. Kross takes the instrument away, but Cameron has another surprise waiting in her bag. She produces a guitar and smashes it over Kross' head!
Julia Hart makes her entrance to complete her team's lineup and immediately goes after Cameron. Meanwhile, Thekla catches Windsor with a spider suplex before Willow attacks Thekla on the turnbuckle and sends her crashing to the canvas as we head to another commercial break.
We return from the break as Jamie Hayter makes her entrance to complete her team's lineup, rushing to the cage with a cooler. Hayter pulls out several beer bottles and uses them against her opponents before joining Windsor in placing a trashcan over Thekla and repeatedly striking it with steel chairs.
A table has been set up in the corner as Kross gets back to her feet and joins Bayne in using a trashcan to take control of the match. They target Statlander, who manages to block a Divine Intervention attempt but is eventually powerbombed into the cage wall!
Statlander falls into the space between the ring and the cage as Kross and Bayne turn their attention to Cameron. They assist Hart and Thekla in attacking Harley before bringing her into the opposite ring, where Blue and Hart slam her onto the smiley-face trashcan lid.
Thekla wraps a belt around Cameron's throat while Statlander finds herself trapped with a kendo stick. Willow attempts to make the save as Hayter continues throwing strikes at the opposition.
Willow and Statlander set up two tables covered in barbed wire in the opposite ring. The Brawling Birds then attempt to send Persephone through the table positioned in the corner, but Persephone manages to avoid it.
Nightingale and Statlander then each work to put Bayne and Kross through the barbed wire tables. Aminata tries to do the same with Persephone, but winds up being set up on it herself. Persephone then begins to climb the top rope, but she changes her mind and she begins to climb the cage. She jumps off of it for a splash through Aminata and the table. Hayter and Windsor then each help Nightingale and Statlander put Bayne and Kross through the tables with powerbombs.
Kross doesn’t go through at the first try, so Statlander leaps from the top rope to send her through. Statlander and Hayter briefly argue and it allows Triangle of Madness to resume control on their side of the ring. Cameron begins fighting with Blue. Hart tries to mist her, but Cameron avoids it and cinches in the single-leg crab. Her teammates rally around her to ensure she is left alone. Statlander wraps barbed wire across the mouth of Hart and wrenches it as Hart submits.
Winners: Alex Windsor, Jamie Hayter, Harley Cameron, Kris Statlander, Willow Nightingale & Queen Aminata
— Backstage, AEW National Champion Andrade El Idolo reflects on his journey since arriving in AEW and everything he has accomplished. He talks about having a future opportunity at the AEW World Championship and vows to continue defending his National Title every week.
— We see a video highlighting memorable moments from AEW's history in Jacksonville before heading backstage, where Swerve Strickland is confronted by Austin Creed. Creed questions Swerve's actions against Bandido, reminding him that they're supposed to discuss these matters as a team.
Strickland responds that he made his intentions clear from the beginning, saying he'll do whatever it takes to get the job done. Their conversation is interrupted by Kofi Kingston screaming for help, as we see him trapped in a doorway.
Bandido is responsible, and he quickly attacks both Swerve and Creed! The fight spills toward ringside, where Bandido continues assaulting Strickland on the entrance stage. He grabs a piece of the truss and prepares to use it as a weapon, but Creed rushes in to make the save.
Bandido turns his attention to Creed before Prince Nana gets involved. Security arrives to separate everyone as Brody King and Hangman Page come out to restrain Bandido.
Backstage, Hangman questions Bandido about his actions. Bandido says Swerve nearly killed him and took his mask, and now he wants to take Strickland's life in return.
Page warns that this is exactly what Swerve wants, insisting they cannot allow themselves to fall into his trap. Bandido refuses to back down and demands a Texas Death Match.
Hangman eventually agrees to the match as we see Strickland smiling over how things have unfolded. We head to a commercial break.
— We take a look at the escalating issues involving The Conglomeration, the Death Riders and the faction now known as The Cut. Footage from after Fright Night Collision shows Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly and Roderick Strong discussing The Cut before Jon Moxley interrupts.
Moxley warns the trio about the kind of men they're dealing with and the war that's coming. He asks The Conglomeration for their assistance, explaining that he's been stuck in a difficult situation for some time and isn't going to sugarcoat anything.
Moxley says Jay White owes a debt, and he's offering Cassidy, O'Reilly and Strong the opportunity to collect it. He leaves a fork on the table in front of Cassidy before walking away.
— We see a graphic promoting Anarchy in the Arena at Full Gear before returning to ringside.
— Renee Paquette introduces Mercedes Moné, who immediately dismisses Renee before demanding that Marina Shafir come to the ring. Shafir makes her way through the crowd and enters the ring for a tense staredown with the champion.
Moné runs down Shafir, claiming she was irrelevant for years until becoming Jon Moxley's little b—h. Shafir snatches the microphone away and suggests they settle their differences inside the cage right now.
Shafir says she respects everything Mercedes has accomplished throughout her career, but has no respect for the person she's become. She accuses Moné of believing that being the biggest star in the room automatically makes her the most dangerous.
Marina says Mercedes has forgotten what it feels like to be afraid, which is why she needed to get her attention. She brings up the three slaps Moné delivered, claiming she could see in the champion's eyes that Mercedes wasn't actually capable of hurting her and was only trying to convince herself otherwise.
Shafir finishes by telling Moné that she hits like a p*ssy ass b*tch. That sparks a brawl between the two women as security rushes into the ring to separate them. Shafir is eventually pulled away as we head to a commercial break ahead of tonight's main event.
— We take a look back at AEW's history with Chris Jericho's Rock 'N' Wrestling Rager at Sea, with this Saturday's episode of Collision set to air live from the cruise's stop in Miami. A video package follows featuring Nick Wayne.
Wayne boasts about his recent victories over Chris Jericho and confirms he'll be appearing on Collision this Saturday. Back at ringside, Wayne appears in the crowd to address the fans, once again reminding everyone that he defeated Jericho not once, but twice.
— We see highlights from the Best-of-Five Series between FTR and the Motor City Machine Guns, with the Guns currently leading 2-1 heading into Match 4 on Collision. Also announced for the Jericho Cruise are Persephone vs. Mina Shirakawa and Andrade defending his AEW National Championship against Tommaso Ciampa.
Men's Blood & Guts Match: Will Ospreay, Adam Copeland, Steven Borden, The Young Bucks & Darby Allin vs. Kazuchika Okada, Kyle Fletcher, Wardlow, Mark Davis, Kevin Knight & Jake Doyle
The Don Callis Family won the coin toss backstage, giving them the advantage throughout the match. Kyle Fletcher is out first, with commentary discussing his upcoming AEW World Championship opportunity at Full Gear.
Before Darby Allin's entrance, we see footage of him showing off his skateboarding skills and crowd surfing inside a body bag at a concert. Allin then makes his entrance by emerging from a body bag before heading into the cage, where Fletcher awaits him in the opposite ring.
Darby starts things off by throwing his skateboard at Fletcher, who avoids it and immediately attacks the TNT Champion. Allin fights back, but Fletcher catches him with Snake Eyes into the turnbuckle before dropping him across the ropes.
Darby turns things around with a Coffin Drop off the cage wall and begins using his skateboard as a weapon. Fletcher responds by slamming Allin onto the board, then delivers another slam onto the deck as the countdown begins.
Kevin Knight enters with a steel chair, giving the Don Callis Family the numbers advantage. Fletcher attempts to send Darby into the chair, but Allin counters with a Coffin Drop onto Knight instead.
Fletcher and Knight quickly regain control, connecting with a Doomsday Dropkick before continuing their two-on-one assault. Knight then delivers a monkey flip that sends Darby off a chair and directly into a boot from Fletcher.
The Don Callis Family continues stomping away at Allin as the countdown begins again. This time, Nick Jackson makes his entrance to even the odds. Nick enters the cage and immediately goes after Fletcher and Knight, taking both men down with a flurry of offense.
He connects with a springboard facebuster on Fletcher before taking out Knight and delivering an avalanche Canadian Destroyer to the Protostar. Jackson stomps away at Fletcher before fighting off Knight, sending him into the corner for a clothesline.
Nick returns to Fletcher with mounted punches while Darby Allin uses his skateboard to attack Knight. Darby turns his attention to Fletcher as the countdown begins once again. Jake Doyle is the next entrant for the Don Callis Family, making his way into the cage wearing overalls reminiscent of ECW's Amish Roadkill.
Doyle immediately goes after Jackson and Allin, using his size and power to take both men down as we head to a commercial break as the action continues. When we return, we see things still in progress, with the violence quickly starting to pick up.
Matt Jackson enters the cage carrying a trash can, using it to take out Fletcher and Knight. He turns his attention to Jake Doyle in the opposite ring, blasting him with the can. Doyle powers through the attack, however, catching Matt as he tries to escape before delivering a powerbomb that crushes the trash can.
Nick Jackson and Kyle Fletcher are both busted open as the countdown brings out Mark Davis, sporting matching gear with his tag team partner Doyle. Davis enters and delivers a piledriver to Darby Allin before joining Doyle in taking out both Young Bucks.
Darby recovers and climbs to the top of the cage, looking for a Coffin Drop from the roof. Davis and Doyle manage to catch him, however, swinging Allin into the cage wall before he falls into the gap between the ring and the cage.
The Don Callis Family continues its assault on the Bucks as the countdown brings out Adam Copeland, who charges toward the cage carrying two steel chairs.
Copeland enters and immediately starts swinging, blasting members of the Don Callis Family with chair shots as the crowd sings along to his entrance theme. He sets up the chairs and unloads on Davis before backing into the corner for a Spear.
Davis cuts him off, but his attempted piledriver backfires when Copeland counters and drives him onto the chairs instead. Copeland continues attacking Davis until Doyle cuts him off, allowing the Don Callis Family to regain control as we head to another commercial break.
Back from the break, Wardlow makes his entrance and heads toward the cage to join the Don Callis Family. Wardlow enters the cage and immediately takes control, dropping Darby Allin before overpowering both Young Bucks. He plants Nick Jackson with an F5 and blocks an Impaler DDT attempt from Adam Copeland, sending him into the corner.
Wardlow turns his attention back to Darby, pulling him into the ring before launching him into the cage wall. Copeland gets back to his feet and manages to fight off Davis, Doyle and Wardlow momentarily, but Wardlow puts an end to that with a headbutt.
A table is set up in the opposite ring, with Fletcher and Knight holding Copeland in position as Wardlow delivers a senton bomb through it.
The countdown begins again, bringing out Steven Borden as the next entrant. Borden charges into the cage and immediately goes after the Don Callis Family, eventually trading blows with Wardlow. Wardlow looks for a powerbomb, but Borden counters with a back body drop.
Borden positions Wardlow, Doyle, Davis and Knight in separate corners before delivering a series of Stinger Splashes, paying tribute to his father. He then retrieves a bag from underneath the ring and empties its contents onto the canvas, revealing a pile of thumbtacks.
Borden looks to suplex Knight onto the tacks, but Davis and Doyle intervene. They beat him down before lifting him up and slamming him directly onto the thumbtacks.
The Young Bucks rush in and attempt suplexes on Davis and Doyle, but their efforts are unsuccessful. The two are taken down with a double clothesline as the countdown brings out Kazuchika Okada, the final entrant for the Don Callis Family.
Okada makes his way to the cage carrying a leaf blower, which he uses to clear the thumbtacks from the ring. The Bucks try to stop him, but Okada continues clearing the canvas. Borden gets back into the action and manages to fight off members of the Don Callis Family as we head to another commercial break.
Back from the break, Will Ospreay makes his entrance as the final competitor, officially beginning the second stage of Blood & Guts. Both teams stare each other down before all hell breaks loose inside the cage.
The chaos eventually leaves Ospreay and Kyle Fletcher standing across from each other, just over a week before their AEW World Championship showdown at Full Gear. Ospreay leaps into the opposite ring to confront his former friend, with the two exchanging strikes before Ospreay connects with a Hidden Blade.
Ospreay follows up by delivering another Hidden Blade to Kazuchika Okada before returning his attention to Fletcher. He attacks Fletcher in the corner, but the Protostar escapes and traps Ospreay in the tree of woe.
Fletcher calls for a chair, and Kevin Knight hands him one wrapped in barbed wire. Fletcher positions it against Ospreay's face and demands that he surrender. Ospreay refuses, allowing Knight to climb to the top rope in the opposite corner and deliver a Coast-to-Coast dropkick, driving the barbed-wire chair into Ospreay.
Elsewhere, Wardlow picks up a backpack that Darby Allin brought into the cage. The other members of the Don Callis Family try warning him, but it's too late as a booby trap inside the bag sets off a burst of pyro directly at Wardlow!
The Young Bucks follow up with a BTE Trigger on Jake Doyle, using an exploding chair for added damage. They then retrieve two pairs of shoes covered in thumbtacks from the bag and unleash a series of superkicks on the Don Callis Family.
Allin begins climbing the side of the cage, with Wardlow following close behind. The two battle on the roof, where Wardlow hoists Darby up for a delayed vertical suplex. Allin manages to escape and connects with a low blow to stop Wardlow in his tracks.
Meanwhile, RPG Vice is seen setting up a table near the entrance ramp as Kazuchika Okada retrieves an arm sleeve covered in thumbtacks. Okada puts it on and looks for a Rainmaker, but Adam Copeland ducks the attempt and delivers a Spear that sends Okada crashing through a table in the corner!
Copeland sets Okada up for a one-man Conchairto, but Davis and Doyle intervene before he can deliver it. They send Copeland into the cage wall and hold him in place as Rocky Romero passes a chain to Fletcher.
Fletcher hands the chain to Davis and Doyle, who help Okada secure Copeland by the neck against the cage wall. Up on the roof, Wardlow delivers a powerbomb to Darby Allin as the Don Callis Family continues taking control of the remaining competitors.
With the opposition trapped, Fletcher grabs a microphone and demands that Copeland surrender. To make his point, Fletcher retrieves a screwdriver and threatens to drive it into Will Ospreay's eye. Copeland finally gives in, shouting "I surrender" to bring the match to an end.
Winners: Kazuchika Okada, Kyle Fletcher, Wardlow, Mark Davis, Kevin Knight & Jake Doyle
— After the match, Fletcher takes the mic back and he promises to put the final screwdriver in the coffin at Full Gear before telling Wardlow to do it and Wardlow sends Allin flying off the cage and through a double stack of tables to the floor. Fletcher’s music then hits as officials check on Allin, while the Don Callis Family celebrates their win. Commentary then talks about what’s to come on Collision as we see Copeland staring at the still fallen Ospreay and the show comes to a close.
