AEW Dynamite is live tonight from Asheville, NC., airing at 8/7c on TBS and HBO Max.
MJF The Baldie Coming Soon?
This week's show kicks off with the theme and video intro, and then we shoot inside the building where MJF has arrived. He is approached by Renee Paquette and asked about Darby Allin only being willing to defend his AEW Championship against MJF if he puts his hair on the line.
As MJF goes to walk off after giving his response, we see an unusually large amount of people scattered in various groups of two's and three's, that are completely and totally bald. Tommaso Ciampa takes his hat off to show his bald head. Ricochet jokes about it at one point.
Adam Copeland, Christian Cage, Orange Cassidy & The Young Bucks vs. FTR, Tommaso Ciampa & The Dogs
Now we head inside the arena where ten-man tag-team action will kick things off as the first match of the evening. We get a ton of ring entrances and then the bell sounds to get things officially off-and-running. All ten guys collide with authority and the crowd goes wild.
Harwood and Cassidy return to the ring while everyone else fights around the ring. Harwood decks Cassidy and then engages in hands with Copeland. Cage and Wheeler are fighting up the steps and into the crowd, while the Dogs, the Bucks, and Ciampa fight around the announce table.
In the ring, Harwood has Cassidy in trouble on the top. The fans clearly want to cheer FTR despite them being heels. Harwood with a Superplex, but Cassidy bounces into a Stun dog Millionaire! Cassidy with a DDT, but Wheeler is back and he hits Cassidy.
The heels gang up on Cassidy in their corner, as everyone seems to have returned to ring side. Ciampa is in now, and he hits some stiff chops to Cassidy. Ciampa looking single leg crab, but Cassidy keeps rolling away. He kicks Ciampa away, so Dax with the blind tag and he flips off the fans.

Cage takes Cassidy and throws him out of the ring and into Ciampa and the Dogs. Cage wipes out Finlay on the floor, but FTR hit Copeland with the Shatter Machine.
Cassidy with the most dangerous kicks of all time, but FTR are too strong, and they take out Cassidy. We see high spot after high spot from almost everyone involved. Connors is the last man standing, as looks to line up Copeland with a Spear. Copeland leaps, though, and he spears Harwood. Connors is hit with superkicks, an Orange Punch and a Spear for the pin.
