This episode of AEW Dynamite saw Bryan Danielson dominate a hometown hero member of the Dark Order in the main event, while a new foe will go toe-to-toe with MJF next week at Winter Is Coming for the coveted Dynamite Diamond Ring.

CM Punk Promo-

MJF, the long island hometown hero, music plays to the delight of the crowd. For only his rival CM Punk to walk through the stage curtain to a huge boo from the crowd.

Punk proceeds to berate and repetitively pick apart everything MJF has said triggering the Long Island crowd. Punk disrespects MJF by revealing 4 pillars of AEW shirt, which sees MJF replaced by Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D.

He continues to drop a pipe bomb and says that he wants next to the AEW title and acknowledges MJF does as well. Punk proceeds to challenge MJF as he has “wasted enough of my time” and doesn’t care whereabouts it will take place.

As Punk exits, he continuously taunts the crowd making a statement to MJF.

Dynamite Diamond Ring Battle Royale-
A small vignette shows a voiceover talking about Long Island’s finest, MJF. Before his music hits and an emphatic pop from the crowd blows the roof of the arena. As MJF unfamiliarly embraces the crowd.

12 participants take place in this match with a quarter of the participants being from Team Taz. Matt Hardy eliminates Jay Lethal by striking him with brass knuckles, which is then followed up with new Team Taz member Dante Martin eliminating Hardy.

There were some cool spots in the match. For example, the behemoth staredown between Wardlow and Powerhouse Hobbs and Lio Rush eliminating the powerhouse.

A shock elimination of Wardlow leaves MJF all alone with two members of Team Taz in the final three, the FTW Champion Ricky Starks and newest addition Dante Martin. As Team Taz look to quickly dispose of MJF and stop him from retaining the ring for a third consecutive time, Martin capitalises and disposes of an unaware Starks to claim his place against MJF at Winter Is Coming to see who wins the Dynamite Diamond Ring.

MJF extends his hand to show a sign of respect to his opponent Dante before Ricky Starks blindsides Dante Martin, a hesitant MJF is reluctant on the stage whether to help Martin and bursts for the ring only to add to the assault assisting Starks.

CM Punk charges with MJF slithering away in a flash as Punk enters the ring. Punk and Starks face off before Martin hits an enziguiri which is followed up by a GTS from Punk.

The Bucks proceeds to set up Cassidy for a brutal Panama Sunrise from Adam Cole. Adam Cole taunts a motionless Cassidy and before they finish the job with a BTE Trigger, Best Friends music plays for no other than Trent Barretta to step out of a car and return to AEW and come to the aid of Best Friends.

Rhio and Team D.M.D member Jamie Hayter lock up, with Rhios speed being far too much for Hayter. However, Hayter showcased impressive power throughout hitting Rhio with spine-crushing manoeuvres.

As the final moments of the match transpire, Hayter is setting Rhio up on the top turnbuckle to execute a huge slam, which is reversed and spikes Hayter with an avalanche crucifix bomb followed up with the Somato (double running knee strike).

Main Event: Bryan Danielson def John Silver.

Silver is met with a hometown welcome as a focused Silver sets his sights on a tenacious Danielson who has serious momentum going into this bout, having already embarrassed Dark Order members Alan Angels and Colt Cabana in their hometowns, and is looking to make Silver the latest edition before his AEW World Championship match against champion “Hangman” Adam Page.

Silver and Danielson showcased very similar, hard-hitting lariats. With Danielson slowly dissecting and taking his time with Silver, taunting after every other move soaking in the boos from the Long Island crowd.

The closing moments of the match saw an intense Silver set up Danielson for the Spin Doctor which is met by a tactically placed eye rake from Danielson, who follows up targeting the neck with a series of brutal 12 to 6 elbows before hitting a Gobstyle piledriver and choking Silver out with a brutal submission to pick up an impressive and continuing his dominance.

Danielson proceeds to tell the audience how he has lived to his promises, and he will continue by kicking Adam Page’s head in at Winter Is Coming. As Danielson tries to continue to brutalise John Silver, AEW World Champion and Danielson's opponent at Winter Is Coming, “Hangman” Adam Page storms the ring levelling Danielson. He proceeds to promise at Winter is Coming that he is going to stomp the Cowboy S*** out of Danielson.
