AEW Dynamite Results: Bryan Danielson Stifles Chris Jericho; Jon Moxley Knocks Out Sammy Guevara!
AEW Dynamite’s quest to find its new world champion continued as the episode that was broadcasted live from the MVP Arena in New York featured yet another championship tournament bout. The stakes were high on September 14, as Bryan Danielson faced off against Chris Jericho for the second time in less than a month, and Jon Moxley clashed against Sammy Guevara in a grueling encounter.
In the women’s division, Athena and Toni Storm took to the ring to battle Serena Deeb and Britt Baker in a high-voltage tag match. Elsewhere in the night, Powerhouse Hobbs locked horns against Matt DiMartino while the Lucha Bros were in action against the Swerve in our Glory.
AEW Dynamite Grand Slam featured five matches including Bryan Danielson vs. Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship and the real main event of The Acclaimed vs. Swerve in Our Glory for the AEW World Tag Team Championship.
AEW Dynamite Grand Slam also saw the arrival of Saraya, formerly known as Paige, who was subject of return rumors as both WWE and AEW reportedly showed interest. Saraya saved Athena and Toni Storm from a beatdown at the hands of Britt Baker, Jamie Hayter and Serena Deeb. Saraya will be a welcomed addition to an AEW women’s division that, despite not being short on talent, has gone ice cold.
Last week’s broadcast of AEW Dynamite was up big with 1.175 million viewers.
