I’m a hardcore wrestling fan, by which I mean I’m a hardcore fan of wrestling... but I also have nothing against hardcore wrestling! I’ve been watching since 2006, back when I was 12 years old. In that time I’ve fervently followed WWE, TNA, ROH, Lucha Underground and others. Today I’m most passionate about NXT, New Japan and especially AEW! You could call me a modern wrestling savant but I know my old school stuff as well... I’ll be your huckleberry all night long.

WWE SmackDown continues! Sonya Deville cuts a promo talking about how Lacey Evans is just another barbie doll to destroy, but hilariously as she intensely speaks into the camera, Lacey Evans walks up behind her. She scares the hell out of her when she turns around. Cesaro and Nakamura argue with Shorty G about what happened in that battle royal. Cesaro asks if he really thinks he can be Intercontinental Champion? Says he did him a favor by taking him out of that battle royal. Tells him he’ll give him the chance to be the bigger man for once and…

We’re welcomed to the show with a nasty sight, Elias being loaded onto a stretcher following an apparent hit and run. There’s a car on the scene that’s being investigated, full of beer bottles and apparently they see evidence of it belonging to Jeff Hardy. Braun Strowman is interviewed as an eye-witness, talks about how crazy it was and how he hopes the psycho driving gets caught. The cops then rush over – along with apparent guest detectives Jamie Noble and Jason Jordan – to find Jeff Hardy lying injured between two houses. The police help him up but he…

Just like always here at the Overtimer, below you will be able to see all of the results of the show as they come, plus links to in-depth recaps! Watch this space! Segment 1: In the opening segment, we see Elias being carted onto a stretcher in a road. There’s been a hit-and-run and evidence that it’s a drunk driving accident.

AEW Dynamite is just about done, there’s only one thing left and unusually it’s a segment rather than a match. Its time for the pep rally! Tons of cheerleaders on the stage shaking the pom-poms! Vickie Guerrero rushes out from the tunnel and she’s one of the cheerleaders too! Yells “Are you kidding me?!” and says it’s time for the best celebration of the night. She’s the personal ring announcer for the Inner Circle! Names them all one-by-one. Even Ortiz is wringing his ear out after that one. Poor Guevara still coming out on crutches, I kinda expected him to…

AEW Dynamite continues. We then see a promo from MJF talking about the upcoming battle royal. Says in the ring he’s perfection and on the microphone, c’est magnifique. Claims he’s already a top star and he didn’t have to come from somewhere else to make it happen. MJF says he’s been undefeated for over a year now, yet he still hasn’t received a title shot. Someone in the office must not like him too much… thankfully that someone in the office is holding a battle royal with a shot at the TNT Championship on the line. So he’s gonna be…

AEW Dynamite continues. During the commercial break, Hangman Page and Kenny Omega are hanging out at the hotel though sadly I couldn’t hear a word of it, but I can only imagine some kind of BTE-level conversation was going on. Back in the arena and back from break, Tony Schiavone welcomes Cody to the ring and congratulates him. Cody asks if he knows why Tom Brady is his favorite quarterback. He says it’s not just because he’s from the Boston area, it’s because he was not the first-round draft pick. But after running up the score he’s made his mark…

Alex Marvez wants to talk to Chris Jericho about the Inner Circle Pep Rally but Jericho cuts him off immediately. Says they’ve got pomp and circumstance lined up and they’re gonna get back on track. But as he’s talking, Orange Cassidy just wanders around in the background. Jericho is not happy with this. Orange slowly drifts out of shot and Jericho asks Marvez if he just saw that. Chris says, “We’ll see you later, Orange”. Now, out comes Chrissy James to face off with the new AEW World Women’s Champion Hiakru Shida! AEW Women’s World Champion Hikaru Shida vs. Kristy…

AEW Dynamite continues. We have a giant notepad that reads “The Rules Of Being A Role Model” and Britt Baker is being brought out onto the stage in a wheelchair. This is gold already. After two attempts she accepts Tony Schiavone’s introduction. Britt says Rule #3 is all about her. Rule #3 is Don’t Hurt The Role Model. Says last week the grievous tandem assault on her that left her with a broken tibia was no accident. It was in fact a conspiracy, which goes far and wide. Exhibit A, a picture of the move that caused the injury which…
