Motor City Machine Guns Win Best Of Five Series With FTR On AEW Dynamite

Motor City Machine Guns came out on top over FTR in the final match of their best of five series on this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite. The two teams faced off in their final battle Wednesday night’s three-hour episode, with both teams at two wins apiece. The match went nearly 20 minutes before the Machine Guns picked up the win.

Both teams had times where they were a mere instant away from picking up the victory. FTR hit their Power & Glory finisher on Shelley at one point, but Sabin prevented the pin attempt with a dropkick. Late in the match, Stokeley Hathaway tried to get involved but got taken out with a running knee from Shelley. He tried again a little later by holding Shelley’s feet on a pin attempt, but couldn’t prevent the kickout.

Not long after, as the match went down to the final seconds before the time limit, Shelley was able to avoid a Shatter Machine and rolled Dax Harwood up to get the pinfall and win the series. The two teams shook hands in a show of respect after the match, though Hathaway didn’t look pleased at the moment.
