Opening Segment

    Bobby Lashley.AEW

    Dynamite opened with Tony Schiavone in the ring to bring out Bobby Lashley, MVP and Shelton Benjamin. MVP quickly dismissed Schiavone so he and his partners could address the crowd.

    MVP put over Benjamin and Lashley while also issuing a not-so-subtle warning to the roster. Swerve Strickland came out with a chain and was being held back by officials. Prince Nana gave him a mic and Swerve simply said "Bobby Lashley. Full Gear." MVP said they would see him there immediately.

    This was short and sweet. It left a lot of room for this feud to grow before the PPV. Sometimes simplicity is best.

    Grade: B+

    Notable Moments and Observations

    • MVP stopped Tony from talking so he could listen to the crowd chant his name.
    • A fan chanted "Swerve's House" two seconds before his song hit. He was so close.

Orange Cassidy and Darby Allin vs. Pac and Claudio Castagnoli

    Wheeler Yuta accompanied Pac and Castagnoli to the ring for their tag match against Cassidy and Allin. OC came out alone on the apron and dared his opponents to come to him, but it was all a setup so Allin could take both men down with a dive off the tunnel.

    They fought for a couple of minutes before everyone got to the ring and the match officially got underway. The Bastard and Cassidy were the first men in the ring for their teams.

    Two-thirds of the trios champions began to dominate once they gained the upper hand. Cassidy took a lot of damage from both opponents while Allin hoped for a desperate tag.

    When the risk-taker finally got the hot tag, the crowd erupted as he came in and started fighting Pac and Claudio with his signature brand of high-flying offense.

    The match was much more evenly split from that point. Both side came close to winning a few times, but Marina Shafir showed up and kicked the referee out of the ring. Jon Moxley showed up next and immediately began choking out OC until Allin hit him with a skateboard.

    The match was thrown out while they continued to fight. Allin used his skateboard to fight off everyone for as long as he could, but Castagnoli threw him into a ring post to take him down.

    This left Cassidy to be beaten to a pulp. Mox ordered Yuta to finish OC off and he obliged with a running knee. The Conglomeration chased them off but the damage was done.

    A no -ontest finish is rarely ideal, but the way AEW is telling this story allows for it to make sense this time. Everything we saw was entertaining and everyone worked hard to keep the crowd invested.

    Result: No Contest

    Grade: B+

    Notable Moments and Observations

    • OC has officially changed to full black clothing to signify his change in attitude.
    • The way OC baited Pac and Claudio so Allin could take them out was shot from a good camera angle. Allin flying from the top of the tunnel looked great.
    • You can really tell Claudio loves working with smaller guys because he can just toss them around with ease.
    • Claudio back-body-dropped Allin so high in the air that he probably felt the heat from the lights on the ceiling.

The Learning Tree vs. Conglomeration

    Mark Briscoe, Kyle O'Reilly and Tomohiro Ishii remained in the ring after the last segment so they could take on Chris Jericho, Big Bill and Bryan Keith in a Fight Without Honor, which is basically ROH's version of a Street Fight.

    As soon as the heels hit the ring, the babyfaces went after them. Bill and KOR paired up, Ishii and Keith fought at ringside, and Briscoe and Jericho fought in the corner.

    They were using weapons, putting each other through tables, and fighting all around the ring within the first few minutes. Everyone was laid out from the chaos as the show cut to a break.

    We returned to see The Chicken and Jericho having a chair fight. There was a lot going on in this match, so there were moments the camera missed because it was focused on someone else, but that is the nature of a bout like this with so many people fighting at once.

    Bill and O'Reilly were shown fighting all the way to the backstage area and they ended up crashing through a pair of tables. Back in the ring, Ishii won with a brainbuster to Jericho a few moments later.

    This was fun but definitely had some weak spots, which is almost guaranteed to happen anytime you structure a bout like this. It has its pros and cons, but the crowd was into it and that's what matters for most matches.

    Result: Conglomeration defeated The Learning Tree

    Grade: B-

    Notable Moments and Observations

    • Ricochet was approached by The Hurt Syndicate backstage but he doesn't seem to be for or against aligning with them yet.
    • The way Ishii put Jericho through a table with a side suplex looked uncomfortable for both of them.
    • Bill chokeslammed Briscoe through a ladder in a brutal spot.
    • The double suplex spot in the corner took way too long to set up.
    • Ishii had a hard time getting Jericho up for the brainbuster.

Adam Cole vs. Malakai Black

    Cole was out first for his match against Black. The announcers mentioned that Black was 6-0 against Cole throughout their careers heading into this bout.

    They started with a pretty standard exchange and surprisingly showed each other some respect for a moment before locking up again.

    This was a well-paced and methodical match. Aside from one or two awkward moments, this was a good display of the skills both men possess. It was especially nice to see Black get a solo spotlight, which is something that feels rare in AEW for some reason.

    Cole was trying to get one of three needed wins before he could challenge MJF at Full Gear, and the announcers made sure to remind us of what was on the line enough times to telegraph the ending even more than it already was.

    In a somewhat confusing decision on Black's part, he allowed Cole to hit him with a running knee for the pin and the win. It almost seemed like he was possibly hurt for real and used that as a way to finish the match.

    The ending being kind of weird hurt this a bit, but most of what we got in this match was solid. They ended up hugging after the match before Cole took a mic and addressed the crowd and MJF.

    Result: Cole defeated Black

    Grade: B

    Notable Moments and Observations

    • Moxley gave a promo from backstage saying Yuta owes Cassidy nothing from their friendship.
    • Cole sold a hip toss from Black a little too early and it looked like he just willingly flipped onto his back for no reason.
    • The superkick from Cole as Black jumped off the apron looked great.

A Few Random Segments

    Jay White was giving an interview backstage when Adam Page attacked him. He trapped White's ankle in the barricade and was about to use a chair when Juice Robinson made the save.

    Backstage, Kris Statlander was almost hit by Kamille and Mercedes in a car, but she avoided it and took them out before officials showed up. Back in the arena, Christian Cage came out to have a confrontation with Hook.

    Cage thanked Kip Sabian for saving him from losing his guaranteed title shot, and he even said it was more than any of his other sons have done, which made Nick Wayne look away in shame.

    Hook came out and told Cage to make it quick because he was out of patience. Cage said he wanted Hook to be his new son.

    Hook beat up all of the security guards as Cage and his family escaped.

Penelope Ford vs. Jamie Hayter

6 of 8

    Dynamite.AEW

    Ford attacked Hayter during her entrance to get the match going right away. She tried to hit a running kick but the former women's champion avoided it and hit a suplex.

    This ended up being a pretty short match. Ford got in some offense, but this bout was designed to make Hayter look like a formidable threat.

    As expected, Hayter picked up the win. This was short and didn't have much to it, but it made Hayter look like a tough competitor, so it accomplished that goal.

    Result: Hayter defeated Ford

    Grade: C

    Notable Moments and Observations

    • Don Callis was shown getting an envelope of money and MJF's diamond ring along with a message from MJF asking him to take care of his problem.
    • Showing Ford's back handspring from a top-down angle was a good idea. It looked cool.

Kyle Fletcher and Konosuke Takeshita vs. Ricochet and Powerhouse Hobbs

7 of 8

    Dynamite.AEW

    This week's main event saw Fletcher and Takeshita of the Don Callis Family take on Ricochet and his mystery partner, Powerhouse Hobbs.

    Hobbs and Ricochet rushed the ring and immediately started fighting their opponents, Big Take sent Ricochet into the announce desk, but Hobbs was able to take out both opponents with a double clothesline.

    Once it got under control and both teams were making tags, the Don Callis Family tried to keep Ricochet isolated so he couldn't tag in Hobbs.

    Once the powerhouse for the tag, he came in like a bulldozer. AEW had an overrun this week, so this match lasted until past the top of the hour.

    We saw a lot of good action from all four men. Ricochet did a lot of selling as an underdog and Hobbs did a great job playing his heavy against his former allies.

    A shooting star press couldn't put Takeshita away, but Ricochet finished him off for the win a moment later. Fletcher grabbed a chair and immediately started attacking Hobbs and Ricochet.

    Mark Davis ran to the ring and they got into a shoving match until Lance Archer and Brian Cage took him out while his former tag team partner watched.

    Will Ospreay's music hit and he helped Davis, Hobbs and Ricochet take out the Don Callis Family to end the show.

    Result: Hobbs and Ricochet defeated Fletcher and Takeshita

    Grade: B+

    Notable Moments and Observations

    • We got a video package for Kazuchika Okada and the Continental Classic before the match.
    • Takeshita no-selling Ricochet's chops was kind of cool.
    • Hobbs looks like he is in even better shape than he was when he was injured.

The Final Word

    AEW Dynamite Results: Winners, Live Grades, Reaction and Highlights From November 6 (9)

    Dynamite.AEW

    This week's Dynamite was a decent show from top to bottom, but it had the problem of everything kind of blending together so nothing stood out.

    Other than Ford vs. Hayter being too short to be anything special, every match got enough time to be good, but none of them hit that level we are used to from AEW until the main event.

    Fletcher is one of AEW's best young stars and Takeshita is right there with him. Ricochet's talents are well-documented, and so are the skills of Hobbs.

    While this wasn't necessarily what we would call a Match of the Year candidate, the main event was definitely the best thing from this week's show.

    Grade: B-
