SICKOS! It’s Wednesday, you know what that means! AEW Dynamite is LIVE tonight from the Andrew J. Brady Music Center in Cincinnati, Ohio! But what-ho, this is not just ANY episode of Dynamite! No, tonight is “Tony Khan Productions and AEW Pictures Present: Summer Blockbuster,” the first half of a back-to-back presentation!

(That’s your cue and as a reminder that Collision is TOMORROW NIGHT AND NOT ON SATURDAY!)

For more, let’s get into the Headlines!

The REAL Hometown Man! Although he has been billed as fighting out of Las Vegas, Jon Moxley was born and raised in Cincinnati, and the Prodigal Son returns home to defend his Continental Title against Shane Taylor, who is from Cleveland, making a true North/South Ohio battle!

The Most Dangerous and the Most Violent! Brody King and Swerve Strickland will run back their bloody and violent match from Revolution in March, and this time, a spot in the Men’s Owen Hart Tourney Finals is on the line, with the winner facing Will Ospreay at Forbidden Door!

World or the Skye! With the recently returned Mercedes Mone facing Hazuki in one of the Women’s Owen Hart Semifinals, the last semifinals spot will be up for grabs tonight, as Maya World will face Skye Blue, with the winner facing Athena in the other Semifinals match!

The Chicken and the Bastard! It might feel out of place and completely random, but a match between the Bastard PAC and the Master of the Redneck Kung-Fu Mark Briscoe will always be a welcome one to watch and enjoy!

HOW YOU KNOW…Whatever! Orange Cassidy, fresh off of a Trio’s Titles defense this past week on Collision, will face the white-hot Andrade El Idolo, and like with PAC-Briscoe, I’m not sure how we got here, but hopefully there is something in store for the winner!

Dogs and Bucks, Oh My! The Dogs, fresh off of attacking the new Men’s Tag Team Champions and creating their own five-second pose, were confronted by Nick and Matt Jackson, and they were told they would wrestle when they wanted to, and that time is tonight! All of this and, of course, so much more in store for us tonight!

So, how is everyone doing on this Hump Day? Not too much going on for me over here, Phillies don’t know how to get out of their own way, and the Fever continue to be frustrating. If I could fast-forward to September for the Eagles and October for the Flyers, I would be very happy!

But enough about me and enough about you, let’s get ready to shoot a Blockbuster and roll that film!

Tonight, Summer Blockbuster edition of Dynamite is LIVE from WKRP in Cincinnati! Excalibur, Tony Schiavone, and Taz are on the call tonight!

Schiavone is in the ring as the show opens. We are in Cincinnati for Dynamite Summer Blockbuster! He wants to open the show up with the Psycho Killer Tommaso Ciampa!

We see Collision this past Saturday in Youngstown, where Ciampa forced Schiavone to say that he was better than Jericho. Tony wants to take us back two weeks ago, but Ciampa says he is not here for a song and dance, and he doesn’t get paid by the hour. He wants Tony to tell everyone what he told the people on Saturday and tell these people in Cincinnati that he is better than Jericho. Tony said he was going to break a man’s back, but Ciampa shoves Tony to the corner and says if you don’t tell them, he will break Tony’s back.

Tony goes to say this, but Jericho is here! The fans want to sing along, but Ciampa insists on the music to be cut, which it isn’t, and he loses his mind lol. Jericho has his own mic, and Ciampa wants to know if the fans are happy that they got the song and dance. He says it’s about time Jericho shows up in the flesh. So, what do you have to say for yourself?

Jericho says he wants to know who he has to talk to around here so he can face somewhere with hair. He apologizes and he is sorry but it’s true. He says they got off on the wrong foot, so he says, “Hi, I’m Jericho!” Ciampa mocks this and says Jericho should know who he is after he left his ass laying two weeks ago. Jericho says it’s nice to meet you, Tommy. Ciampa says don’t call me that (the fans chant TOMMY), and Ciampa says you know my name is Tommaso. Jericho says Tommy is better on a t-shirt and a better name to chant.

Ciampa says that his mother doesn’t even call him Tommy, leaving Jericho the opening to say, “What, you mean Tommy’s Mommy?” That gets chants, and Jericho wants to know why he hates him so much. He had his 1,004 reasons, but it was as much as a dog’s breakfast. He keeps lacing insults within the actual reasons as to why Ciampa doesn’t like him, so he wants to know why. Ciampa says this is a joke to him, but Jericho says it isn’t. It wasn’t a joke when he laid him out, when he said he hated him, but the problem is you are not Jericho. He returned to big fanfare, and you realized that you weren’t the big fish in a small pond anymore. He suggests that Ciampa pull the stick out of his ass before he shoves it up there even further, TOMMY!

Ciampa feigns a response, but he throws down the mic and both men throw hands. Security and officials are here to break both men up, with Jericho being taken up the ramp. Ciampa breaks free in the ring and meets Jericho on the ramp for another scuffle.

Excalibur runs down the card for tonight when he says cameras are in the back trying to catch something. We see Don Callis and the TNT Champion Kevin Knight walking through a door to the outside. Renee Paquette is here to get a word with them, but Callis mocks her and shows her how it is done. They are interrupted by Andrade El Idolo, who says he wants a shot at the World Title, and he wants to know if Don is with him or with Knight. Kevin interrupts and says they have to cut, calls Andrade Amigo, and takes off, as Callis tries to calm the situation.

We see Cincinnati’s own Jon Moxley walking up the steps to the arena. Philly and Rocky it isn’t, but it counts for something!

AEW Continental Title Match: Jon Moxley (C) vs. Shane Taylor

The bell rings, as Paul Turner has to tell the rest of STP to go to the back. FUCK EM UP MOXLEY chants as we get a tentative start. Lock-up, and Taylor uses his size and strength to take Moxley to the corner. He backs off and both men circle each other. Moxley with a go-behind and he takes control of Shane’s left arm. Taylor forces Moxley to the corner and chokes him like Homer would do to Bart. Moxley gets in Taylor’s face, and Shane implores him to hit him, so he does, and we get a strike battle. Taylor changes levels with body shots, and Moxley staggers to the ropes.

Taylor charges at Moxley, but Jon moves and Shane ends up on the apron. Moxley with a big boot, sending Taylor to the floor, and Moxley punctuates that with a Tope Suicida! Taylor flips the script on the floor, and he hip tosses Moxley into the timekeeper’s area. Shane breaks the count, and goes back to the floor, where Moxley gouges his eyes. Taylor fights that off and he chokeslams Moxley through the table! Taylor talks that mad smack and we’re off for our first break of the evening.
