AEW Dynamite 6/14/23 Results and Review

Another night of Dynamite came and went. I was watching a movie so I didn’t see it live, but you better believe that I wasn’t going to miss the show that people on twitter kept spoiling for me. So let’s get into the action and see what’s up from Washington DC.

Adam Cole vs. MJF went to a time limit draw 30 minutes

A solid opener, a great deal of quality wrestling went down here. MJF is mega talented, and Adam Cole is no slouch. The two went back and forth with control, and power moves, not wasting a minute of things. This was methodically done, with focus on wrestling and counters. This wasn’t just brawling, mind you, it had a lot of different components, and went 30 minutes. It was a great opening option, and I was impressed with how they gave this one away for free on tv, and first thing on the program. This may very well may be the best match I’ve seen this week, great one. See it for yourself.

Sammy Guevara came out for an interview, then Darby Allin and Chris Jericho came out, and there was a little back and forth on the mic. This was a good exchange, and then Sting came out with a bat, and evened out the odds here. This was an interesting face off! First time Sting and Jericho stared down one another.

Darby Allin, Keith Lee, Orange Cassidy, and Sting defeated The Mogul Embassy

Another fun pro wrestling match. There was a lot of back and forth, wild moments, and some great reversals. Some fast paced action and great movement from all made this an instant classic. Fun back and forth, Darby, Keith, Orange, and Sting all got their moves in, including Sting’s Scorpion Death Drop for the ending. A great match overall, and some fun interactions throughout.

Wardlow defeated Jake Hager

Not a bad match here, a good back and forth, but Wardlow was not going to lose. Jack Hager did try to get in some good shots, but it was Wardlow that was impressive here. He took out Hager with two bombs, and an interesting array of moves. The guy can move, he’s good, and we’ll see him once again in action against Luchasaurus, as they came on the screen with a bloodied Arn Anderson. Way to continue the story!

Toni Storm defeated Skye Blue in the AEW Women’s Title Match

A fun women’s match on the show? Yeah, it was about 7 minutes, and while it wasn’t the most technically advanced match, it was fun to watch. Ruby Soho came into play at some points, but Toni Storm was able to muster up enough offense to beat Skye Blue overall. A Texas cloverleaf was the ending submission, and we had things move forward with another successful title defense.

The Elite defeated Blackpool Combat Club in a six man tag team match

This match was on fire, and all six men threw together some great moments. I was impressed how much brawling there was early on, then it moved into a more technical wrestling match. They kept pushing, and eventually got the crowd going crazy for everyone. The Elite would get the win after the BCC tried a bunch of different moves.

After the match Eddie Kingston came down an beat up the BCC.

Overall Thoughts

To be honest, this was a good beakdown of matches and fun overall. I thought the night had an enjoyable array of matches. The 30 minute draw was great, the women’s match delivered, and the other tag matches were fun romps as well. This was a good show, check it out.
