As of today it is now 2020! But more importantly, it’s Wednesday! And that means another edition of the Wednesday Night Wrestling Wars! Tonight we have a big episode of AEW Dynamite in store for us, as All Elite Wrestling returns to Jacksonville! It was a loaded card, one that is currently in progress as I type this! I’m Jordan Huie of the Overtimer here to give you the results as they come, so let’s take a look at the latest!
We just saw a bit of a grudge match between Dustin Rhodes and Sammy Guevara play out. It was a generational battle, pitting one of wrestling’s most storied and seasoned veterans against one of the many young upstarts in the budding promotion. While AEW is very youth focused, it does so with much respect to what came before, and the likes of Dustin Rhodes are generally kept fairly formidable. Still, neither of these men boasted stellar singles records in 2019, making it good for them that they’ve been softly reset for the new year.
You can see an excerpt of my recap of this match below:
Takes him to the apron, gets him onto his shoulders but Dustin escapes, CANADIAN DESTROYER ON THE APRON! Jesus Christ! Takes Sammy Guevara into the ring, cover, Jake Hager on the apron though and Dustin has to come up to knock him to the floor! Back body drop takes Guevara onto Hager! Goes out, throws Sammy into the ring, half a cheek is exposed so Dustin gives him a spank before setting him up for an Unnatural Kick. Gets the crowd way into it! But the ref intercepts. Ref stops to help Sammy out of the corner, Hager rushes into the ring for a knee to the groin of Dustin! Sammy with the cover for the win!
Winner: Sammy Guevara
Pretty in line with my predictions, Sammy gets the victory with help from Jake Hager. We have to be getting closer to Hager’s debut which looks more and more likely to be against Dustin Rhodes.
