Live from the Total Mortgage Arena | Bridgeport, CT | Crowd Size: 10,302
SEGMENT ONE
The pyro explodes and Arn Anderson and Kevin Kelly welcome us back to All Elite Wrestling! We’re live from Bridgeport, CT, just twenty miles outside of BWM Inc.’s headquarters in Stamford. Anderson and Kelly are barely able to thank the fans for tuning and to preview tonight’s AEW Knockouts Championship battle royal before they’re interrupted by AJ Style’s theme music!
“Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep ,yep, yep
No, they don’t want none…
No, they don’t want none.
They looking scared, no they don’t really want none…”
Bridgeport is on their feet for The Phenomenal One as he struts to the ring, proudly opening his vest to show off the gold around his waist.
Kevin Kelly: It’s been a long road to the top for AJ Styles; from humble beginnings in the original EWA to the top of the X-Division, and now AJ Styles is finally world champion!
Styles grabs a microphone as he enters the ring. He takes a moment to soak in the pop – the culmination of years of hard word and sacrifice. He taps the microphone awkwardly, as if to say, ‘is this thing on?’
AJ Styles: 14… that’s the number of years I’ve worked for this company under one name or another. In 14 years, can you count the number of times they’ve put a microphone in my hand? For 14 years, I’ve been the best wrestler in the world, and for 14 years the bosses have refused to put this stick in my hands! Last week, I stopped asking, and I did what I should have done long ago… I started taking!
The crowd continues to pop for AJ, affirming that Bridgeport, CT knows there’s a lot of truth to what Styles is saying. AJ takes a beat to soak in the reaction, before placing a hand around his wait atop the AEW World Heavyweight Championship.
AJ Styles: Now that I’ve got this around my waist, I don’t ever have to ask anyone for anything ever again. Because this… this belt… it gives me a mandate! And all week long, I’ve been getting texts and calls from people I never hear from. They’re telling me they knew all along that I could do it. It’s the same thing I’ve told myself for 14 years. The only difference is that when I say it, I knew it to be true. But these platitudes from executives pleased with last week’s ratings? It’s like they’re surprised!
Arn Anderson: They say Styles should be celebrating, but he actually seems pissed off tonight!
AJ goes to continue when suddenly he’s interrupted by Kurt Angle’s theme song! The crowd jeers and chants “You Suck” as the Olympic Gold Medalist and former PWI World Champion appears on the top of the ramp.
Kurt Angle: Oh, I suck? I suck?! I’m not the one out here crying over a microphone!
The crowd boos louder as Angle smirks.
Kurt Angle: And as happy as I am for you that you finally learned to cut a promo, I can’t help but roll my eyes at you out here airing your grievances as if you truly believe you’re the best wrestler in the world! As far as I’m concerned, you’re just a Dollar Store Kurt Angle! You may have walked out of Dynamite last week with the World Heavyweight Championship, but you’ve never pinned me!
AJ Styles: You’re right Kurt, I didn’t get the chance to pin you, because Brock Lesnar tossed your ass out of the ring before I got the chance. But you’re in luck, Kurt! Because I didn’t wait 14 years to get here just to be a paper champion. You think you’re better than me? You want this belt? Come take it!
Angle rushes down the ramp and slides into the ring under the first rope. Styles dives for him and the two jockey for position on the mat, each landing several punches on the other. The two are pulled apart by referees and security as the audience chants “Let them fight!” Anderson receives an update in his headset that makes it official: AJ Styles vs. Kurt Angle for the first time ever in singles competition, tonight! And the AEW World Heavyweight Championship will be on the line!!
Kevin Kelly: What an explosive start to tonight’s Dynamite!

MJF w/ Wardlow (0-0) vs Rey Mysterio Jr. (0-1)
MJF makes his way to the ring to loud boos, as the cocky heel just shrugs it off and insults the audience in the front row. He leans in like he’s going to kiss a fan before pulling back and telling her that MJF doesn’t kiss fat chicks. Wardlow stays a few paces behind MJF; a towering and intimidating shadow for the young superstar. Rey Mysterio enters to a good reaction.

Orton cuts ahead of Kevin Nash in line, causing a disruption. Nash tells Orton he needs to go back to the back of the line.

Nash gets in Orton’s face as Hall, Hogan and Macho Man take a few steps back to get away from the altercation. Nash yells at Orton that he’s a legend.

Young asks Megan if she’s heard anything more from Benny, and Megan says she has not. Megan calls Benny Mouse a relic of the past, and says that the days of erratic behavior at BWM Inc. are finally over. When asked about the aXw and Camden Cross, Megan says she has nothing but respect for Cross and that she’s happy to work with him to ensure that both brands are successful.

Ricochet says they’re ready to show the world what they’re made of as the three men leave a bewildered Dutch behind. Dutch trails off talking about braille and using a cane as the feed fades.

Anderson notes that the only other women to hold the belt are Brie Bella, Ember Moon, and Megan Mouse.

Meanwhile, Victoria busts up Rousey and Asuka, hitting both with a DDT. Victoria is caught off guard with a big boot from Charlotte Flair, who follows up with a double under hook suplex.

Meanwhile, Britt Baker and AJ Lee go at it, with Baker catching Lee with a lariat that almost took her head off. Anderson notes that Baker is a dentist as well, so maybe Lee can see her for the teeth she might have just lost. Victoria hits Baker with a big boot followed by a neck breaker. Victoria is picking up momentum when Rose interjects, scooping her up into a guerrilla press slam to the outside, as the legendary Victoria is the first to be eliminated!

Athena Star hits them both with her patented springboard elbows, she is then back to her feet and immediately catches Sasha with a spinning wheel kick!
Kevin Kelly: Athena Star has had a taste of the gold before, and was rumored to be considering retirement in the past. A win tonight could set her back on top of the women’s wrestling world!
Natalya and Flair battle in the corner as the announcers put them both over as second generation superstars, both of whom have eclipsed their fathers in terms of popularity. The announcers say that both have also been highly sought after by MMouse Enterprises in the past, with Natalya coming back from a year in PWI.

We’re down to five, with Asuka, Star, Sasha, Flair and Baker remaining. Asuka and Star square off for the first time to a huge reaction from the crowd in Bridgeport. Kelly puts over Asuka’s success and notes that she’s out here with Jim Cornette, who’s managed her throughout her career and has done a damn fine job of it. Asuka catches Star with her patented spin kick as Baker nails Flair with a hurricanrana. Baker’s picking up steam when her momentum is suddenly ended as Sasha hits the Bankrupt neck breaker! Sasha tosses Baker to the outside, scoring another big elimination! Anderson hypes up Banks as we’re down to the final four. Charlotte hits Asuka with the exploder suplex! Flair turns her focus to Star, sending her over the top rope. Star’s ring awareness allows her to hold on and land on the apron. Flair turns to celebrate thinking she eliminated Star, only for Asuka to catch her and toss her to the outside! It’s down to Asuka, Banks, and Star as the announcers hype that we’re looking at our next Knockouts Champion. Flair is beside herself on the outside, as Banks and Star reluctantly work together to take on Asuka. Banks turns on Star, hitting her with the Bank Statement! Asuka hits Banks with a release German suplex. She’s able to capitalize on the damage done to Star from the Bank Statement and eliminates the former champ!
Kevin Kelly: Athena Star has been eliminated! One of these two women will be the Knockouts Champion!
Asuka hits Banks with the Asuka Lock! There’s no rope breaks and Asuka refuses to let go, keeping Banks in the hold. Banks is screaming in agony and Asuka finally releases the hold. Asuka scoops Banks up and tosses her over the top rope, a near lifeless Banks is able to hold on. Asuka charges at Banks and Banks jumps up, hitting Asuka with a sunset flip that sends both to the outside! Unfortunately, Star is still on the outside, and Asuka just so happens to land on top of her, preventing her foot from touching the floor! The announcers momentarily think we’ve got a draw, until referee Michael McMahon shows Kenzie a replay. The referees determine that Asuka’s feet never hit the floor, and the bell rings! Asuka is champion!
