The June 22 episode of AEW Dynamite was an eventful show.
In the main event, Jon Moxley and Hiroshi Tanahashi faced Chris Jericho and Lance Archer. Plus, Malakai Black battled Penta Oscuro in an All-Atlantic Championship Qualifying Match. Elsewhere on the show, Bryan Danielson addressed his status for Forbidden Door, fans heared from Christian Cage, and Toni Storm took on Marina Shafir.
The results are as follows:
In-Ring Segment: Bryan Danielson
Danielson comes to the ring to address Forbidden Door and Blood & Guts. He says this week is a great week to be an AEW fan and a wrestling fan. He brings up Forbidden Door and says it will be hosted by the two best wrestling companies in the world. He then brings up Blood & Guts and calls it a bloody spectacle. Danielson says he’s excited for the violence.
He then says he was expecting to be a part of both events. He reveals that Chris Jericho paid Zack Sabre Jr. to face Danielson in a match, hoping to prove that he was the best wrestler in the world. Danielson says he was excited to get revenge at Blood & Guts, but he has good news and bad news.
The bad news is that, due to the injuries he suffered at Anarchy at the Arena, he’s not cleared to compete at Forbidden Door or Blood & Guts. He says he’ll be back, as he’s suffered plenty of injuries before. Danielson says the good news is that Eddie Kingston has called him a judgmental prick, and he’s right; because he is, he has really high standards, so when he promises that something is going to be amazing, it will be.
Danielson says he found the one person he trusts to take his place at Forbidden Door and Blood & Guts, and everyone will be astounded by what he does in AEW. He says he won’t reveal their identity yet, so fans will find out on Sunday. He calls himself the best technical wrestler in the world, and Sabre Jr. confronts him.
