Chartway Arena — Norfolk, Virginia
AEW Dynamite delivered a chaotic final push toward All Out, with Will Ospreay and Jon Moxley colliding in a six-man main event, Chris Jericho battling Nick Wayne, and several major developments setting up the September 26 pay-per-view.
Main Event: Death Riders defeat United Empire
Jon Moxley, PAC & Gabe Kidd defeated Will Ospreay, Andrade El Ídolo & Francesco Akira.
The match was built around the upcoming Ospreay–Moxley AEW World Championship showdown at All Out.
Akira absorbed much of the early punishment before making the hot tag to Andrade.
Ospreay and Moxley eventually exchanged heavy offense, but the Death Riders took control late. Kidd attacked Ospreay at ringside while PAC neutralized Andrade, allowing Moxley to lock Akira in the Bulldog Choke for the submission victory.
Afterward, Moxley reapplied the choke and the Death Riders continued their assault. Andrade attempted to make the save, but the situation escalated until Ospreay returned with a series of Hidden Blades to clear the ring.
Winner: Jon Moxley, PAC & Gabe Kidd
Chris Jericho vs. Nick Wayne
Chris Jericho defeated Nick Wayne in a competitive singles match.
Wayne showed considerable confidence against the veteran, including several impressive high-impact maneuvers.
Jericho survived Wayne’s offense and eventually pulled off a roll-up for the three-count.
The post-match angle was even more significant. Jericho attempted to show respect, but Wayne rejected him and attacked him, including using a chair.
The confrontation appears to have extended their rivalry rather than ended it.
Eight-Man Tag Team Match
Adam Copeland, Christian Cage, Darby Allin & Steven Borden defeated FTR, Kevin Knight & Kyle Fletcher.
The match featured tension within both teams, particularly between Christian and Darby. Borden received a strong spotlight and eventually helped finish Dax Harwood.
The finish saw Copeland spear Harwood, followed by Borden’s Scorpion Death Drop and Darby’s Coffin Drop for the victory.
Hangman Page’s team earns a Trios opportunity
Hangman Adam Page, Bandido & Brody King defeated Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong.
Page scored the deciding fall by hitting Strong with the Buckshot Lariat.
The victory earned Page, Bandido and King a future AEW World Trios Championship opportunity. They will face the winner of Swerve Strickland & The New Level vs. The Demand.
Jamie Hayter vs. Lena Kross
Lena Kross defeated Jamie Hayter.
Kross attacked Hayter before the bell and continued to target her throughout the match. With Megan Bayne providing a distraction, Kross used a pipe behind the referee’s back before hitting the Jackhammer for the victory.
The result adds further heat to the upcoming women’s tag-team storyline involving Divine Dominion and The Brawling Birds.
Tommaso Ciampa makes his intentions clear
Tommaso Ciampa defeated Myles Hawkins in seconds.
Ciampa immediately followed up by challenging Kazuchika Okada. Okada responded by dismissing Ciampa, only for Ciampa to attack him and make it clear that he wants the Rainmaker at All Out.
The Demand attacks Swerve and The New Level
Swerve Strickland and The New Level were celebrating when The Demand launched a surprise attack.
The attackers left Swerve, Kofi Kingston and Austin Creed down and posed with the AEW World Trios Championship belts. The confrontation sets up next week’s important trios-title match.
Jack Perry calls out Samoa Joe
Jack Perry delivered a serious backstage promo and challenged Samoa Joe to return to AEW and face him.
Perry made it clear that he wants to test himself against established AEW stars rather than wait for opportunities.
Mercedes Moné update
A major All Out development was announced: AEW Women’s World Champion Mercedes Moné is not medically cleared to compete at All Out.
The reported plan is for her to return at WrestleDream on October 17, where she is expected to face either Thekla or Willow Nightingale.
