Filed under:

Here's a place to check results and comment along with a new episode of AEW Dynamite, airing tonight (May 31) at 8 pm ET on TBS.

AEW will be in Viejas Arena in San Diego, with all the fallout from last Sunday night's Double or Nothing! Chris Jericho will team with Saraya to try and avenge his loss from the PPV, as they battle Adam Cole & Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. in a mixed tag match. That's the only match announced as of this writing, but we will also get Tony Khan's latest announcement about Collision, and hear from Konosuke Takeshita and Don Callis after they screwed The Elite. We also expect we’ll see follow-up on the two Women's title changes we got in Vegas, see more set-up for Forbidden Door... and more! UPDATE: Tony Khan's added a bunch more to the card, read about those matches here.

Come right back here at 8 pm ET when the Dynamite live blog kicks off once the show starts on TNT. It will be below this line here.

Enjoy the show!

Mean and infectious, the evil prophets rise. Dance of the macabre as witches streak the sky, but me? I’m just here to liveblog this here pro wrestling show for you, folks.

The show opens with the intro video.

"American Dragon" Bryan Danielson is on commentary for this one.

Brawling to start, Blackpool lads in control, luchadors send them to the floor but they cut the dives off with strikes and take it to them on the floor! YUTA working Bandido over and he throws him into the ring and we finally get a bell!

Pressing the attack, scoop and a slam, senton connects, cover for two! Jockeying over a suplex, Bandido gets him up for a delayed vertical, Fenix and Penta fend his partners off with superkicks, stereo Ode to Jim Breaks while Bandido counts upwards of 40 seconds, trembling... A FULL MINUTE DELAY ON THE SHEERDROP BRAINBUSTER BUT YUTA STILL KICKS OUT!

Penta clears the ring, tag to Bandido, Wheeler ducks under and Claudio and Mox spike him with a piledriver on the floor that sends us to break!

Danielson talks about how proud he is of YUTA and goes down to the ring to raise his hand.

Alex Marvez is backstage with the Elite.

Matt Jackson says he once told Hangman he brings the best out in them, but Blackpool Combat Club bring out the absolute worst in them. He never thought he’d try to melt the face off a man with an explosive sneaker, but here we are.

Nick says no setback can keep them down, and Adam Page says they’re still standing and still swinging—

Pan to the Dark Order, who want to catch up with Hangman later. Adam says Kenny Omega is hurt, pissed off, and out of the country, but he's not in Canada.

Commentary hypes up the rest of the show and we go to break.

Back from commercial, Tony Schiavone is in the ring to interview Bullet Club Gold.

"Switchblade" Jay White and "Rock Hard" Juice Robinson put their arms around him for the duration. White talks up Double or Nothing and says Ricky Starks thinks he's on top of the world right now after eliminating both of them, but Ricky isn't the International Champion.

Robinson addresses FTR, saying Bullet Club Gold wants to know why Dax and Cash saved Ricky Starks. It doesn't make sense, they’re not friends, because Ricky ain't got no friends! He says FTR are slow and look dumb too, and he didn't actually think they were dumb enough to come get involved in the Bang Bang Gang's business!

Enter FTR.

Juice claims they’re here to apologize and Jay does one better, saying they must want to join Bullet Club Gold! All they have to do is ask, they just better do it politely! White "accidentally" drops the mic handing it to Harwood and Robinson gets right in with a cheap shot and a brawl breaks down!

Switchblade takes Wheeler out with Blade Runner right before Ricky Starks makes the save! He gets on the mic and challenges Jay White to finish this next week!

Tony Khan is standing by for his next big announcement about AEW Collision.

He says they’ve made a few announcements about Collision and he's here tonight to give us a little more information. He announces that Collision will feature CM Punk!

Beretta ducks Morrissey for a dive, whip Strickland, swing through the ropes, Trent laying chops in on the big man but he gets goozled! Corner body avalanches for both guys, and we go to break!

Up top, Bill chops Strickland down and everybody's down! Morrissey with a Bossman Slam on Trent, Shane cuts him off with a heel kick, cover for two!

Shane "Swerve" Strickland wins by pinfall with a crucifix pin on Trent Beretta.

We get a video package for Kris Statlander's return to become the AEW TBS Champion.

Renee Paquette interviews the Acclaimed and Daddy Ass on the stage.

Billy Gunn says things didn't go quite as they planned but that's okay because anybody can get beat at any given time. His regret comes from letting the two guys he cares most about down. Max Caster tells him not to blame himself, because they win as a team and they lose as a team.

Anthony Bowens says they got screwed out of tag team gold and they want gold back, and puts Billy Gunn's 30 years over and says he deserves to hold gold one more time! They love Billy and everyone loves the Acclaimed.

Commentary hypes up the rest of the show and we go to break.

Back from commercial, Tony Schiavone is in the ring to interview "human piece of garbage" Don Callis and Konosuke Takeshita.

They make their entrance to raining torrents of boos.

Callis goes to speak but the boos are too loud. He sincerely hopes the boos are for Kenny Omega, because he's the real victim here. He claims all of Kenny's success has been because of him, and every morning he has to look at the scare in his head, and he blames Omega for it.

He says Kenny destroyed his family, and maybe he lost a nephew, but he gained a son, he says as he points to Takeshita. He says Konosuke is the best athlete he's ever met, better than Rikidozan, better than Antonio Inoki, better than Akira Maeda, better than Keiji Mutoh, better than Kazuchika Okada.

And of course, better than Kenny Omega. Takeshita grabs the mic and cuts a promo in Japanese before saying in English that they’ll destroy the Elite and they will destroy Kenny Omega. Don says he's gonna build a new family and cut the Elite out of AEW!

We get a video package of Arn Anderson talking with Wardlow about his victory and how biting the giant lizard's thumb was no big deal. Mr. Mayhem says there are no limits to how far they go and if Luchasaurus wants next, he’ll be happy to finish the job.

Gates going hard, Orange tries to smash Liona's face into the turnbuckles and just gets suplexed for his trouble! Allin tags in but gets caught and the Gates work him over, military press double knee gutbuster on Orange! Prince Nana, Brian Cage, and "Swerve" Strickland come to the stage and watch!

Heat segment rolls on, Darby gets to the apron but Kaun pulls him down and batters him between barricade and apron over and over before Toa runs Cassidy over and we go to break!

Back from commercial, Kaun sets Allin up top and hits a backbreaker into the turnbuckle! Liona with a senton on the apron to crush him! Big Rock Bottom... DARBY KICKS OUT! Looking for double-teams, Allin gets some hope, malfunction at the junction, tag to Cassidy!

Post-match, Swerve, Cage, and Prince Nana approach the ring—

STING IS HERE TO CLEAR THE HEELS OFF!

Maxwell Jacob Friedman gets a video package promo about how Allin losing to a headlock again is proof of what kind of competition he has and we’re running out of people, and nobody is on the level of the devil.

And so we go to break.

Back from commercial, Tony Schiavone is in the ring.

HOOK interrupts him with his entrance.

La Faccion Ingobernable make their entrance to interrupt him.

Jose the Assistant talks about how they only get TV time by interrupting like this and puts Rush over as too dangerous to be here before setting Dralistico and Preston Vance on the attack against HOOK!

"Jungle Boy" Jack Perry makes the save with a chair, walloping Dralistico and Preston Vance and sending Jose into the ring to eat a suplex from HOOK!

Renee Paquette interviews the Outcasts backstage.

Toni Storm says she's done what it takes to get here but nobody in that locker room is good enough to carry her bags. Ruby Soho says nobody can touch her work ethic, it's so moving. Toni says she's going to defend the title like a fighting champion but Saraya questions if there's anybody good enough. Storm says she’ll keep a look out.

Collar and elbow, Kris breaks away for a shove, back to the lockup, Nyla backs her into the corner and breaks dirty but Statlander ducks it! Dropkick connects, Kris follows it with a bodyscissors but Rose gets the ropes! The Native Beast is in control and we go to break!
