As the fires of this week’s battle fade, the Wednesday Night Wars etch another chapter. AEW Dynamite has wrapped up, and thanks to the pace of these shows I’m really only now getting around to doing the results pages… but hey, the important thing is that they all get documented for the world to see. I’m Jordan Huie of the Overtimer here to let you know the winners and losers of every single bout!
Swiftly after having her signing with All Elite Wrestling confirmed, Big Swole made her AEW Dynamite debut this week! She went up against the #3 ranked Emi Sakura.
You can see an excerpt of my recap of the match below:
Emi blocks a kick from Swole, forces her to do the splits and she springs right back up, dancing and playing with the mic stand herself! Back body drop to the corner, WWE Headkick, Swole leaps in but Sakura grabs her out of the air, Double Underhook knee to the back of the head. Twisting Vader Bomb, nearfall. Moonsault, misses! Swole with a pump kick missed, but gets some shots in. Emi with a wicked slap, chop. Hits the ropes – thrust kick for a close nearfall! Crowd applauding. Swole shushes, waistlock, Ripcord Elbow but Emi counters with a back elbow of her own for 2. Swole ducks under a shot – Dirty Dancing Ripcord Elbow and that is that!
Winner: Big Swole
Broke down a tad towards the end but a pretty good match. Swole with a nice debut win there.
Nominally an upset, but I actually did kinda expect it. Very youth focused promotion here and the women’s division is no different. Big Swole has quite the story to her, as was told on AEW Dark. And she’s an interesting prospect for certain. That breakdown in this match honestly didn’t even seem to have much to do with her…
