Adam Cole (Bay Bay) is the new AEW TNT Champion, having defeated Daniel Garcia for the title at Sunday’s Dynasty pay-per-view at the Liacouras Center on the Campus of Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Below is an excerpt from Alex Kahrs’ AEW Dynasty recap of how the title change went down.
The ref checks on Garcia as Cole sets up for a Panama Sunrise off the steps, driving the champ’s head onto the floor before bringing him back in the ring. The kneepad goes down for the Boom but Garcia drops to the mat. Cole walks over and gets caught in a cradle by the champ for a nearfall, before Garcia sneaks to the corner for a Panama Sunrise…followed by the Boom on the challenger! Cover by Daniel, but it’s only good for a two count!
Garcia is frustrated as he slams the ankle of Cole against the mat before setting up for another piledriver…only for the challenger to break free. Garcia looks at the turnbuckle before bringing Cole to the corner. He’s looking for a piledriver like he hit on MJF, but Cole manages to stop him before landing some headbutts to send the champ to the mat.
Cole connects with a Panama Sunrise, and heads to the opposite corner for another to keep Garcia down. Cole gets back up and connects with the Boom for the cover to win the match and the TNT Championship!
