The commentators start off the show hyping up the card and we get a look at the altered “Dynamite” set which has one huge tron in between the two tunnels, rather than the two screen setup we’ve seen thus far.

That match was absolutely everything I love about wrestling: fast-paced, high flying, nonstop action. I loved every second! They really played up that the two know each other so well because of their tag team rivalry, too. Great open. #AEWDynamite

A vignette airs where a rather large gentlemen is shown walking in a subway station when two young guys bump into him and call him a loser. As the big guy sits down in the subway, a televangelist style video plays on a screen is shown saying that if you join “us” then they can give you strength and power. “There is strength in number,” the guy says. “Stop leaving in chaos and bring a new order into your life. Join us… join the Dark Order.”

I'm not a fan of battle royals but as far as they go, that was entertaining. I still do understand the point of fighting over a diamond right, though? What is this, WCW's Lord of the Ring? #AEWDynamite

—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-
Chris Jericho comes out for what is being described as a “major announcement.” Jericho admits he had a “temper tantrum” last week and says he had to pay for everything because of it. He says it wasn’t conduct that a champion should display and starts to apologize but just can’t bring himself to say the words. He finally gets Hager to say it for him. Hager almost cracks up at one point.
Jericho says that next week he finally get the ‘thank you’ he deserves and says he will have the “Chris Jericho Thanksgiving Thank You Celebration.” SCU’s music interrupts him and they come down to the ring.
Scorpio Sky says that it takes a “paragon of virtue” to apologize when someone does something wrong and Jericho has proven that he is that and more tonight. Sky says that Jericho forgot to mention why he threw a tantrum. He reminds him that Sky pinned him.
A “you got pin” chant breaks out which does not amuse him. Sky says that it was one of the greatest moments of his life. He says that his DM’s blew up after that and even his high school crush “Melanie Parsons” DM’d him and asked him out.
Sky apologizes to Jericho for embarrassing him last week, sarcastically. Jericho says he isn’t embarrassed and Melanie gained a lot of weight since high school. “I like big butts and I cannot lie,” Sky retorts. Jericho says that he thinks it’s “cuter than Baby Yoda” that Sky thinks he beat him fair and square but says he isn’t in his league.
Jericho says he wants to rectify the loss to Sky in a one-on-one match. Daniels says that they need at least a one or two months to train for the match but Jericho gets pissed and walks right into what they wanted, which is a match next week! Kazarian jumps in, “You have to make sure it isn’t for the AEW Title because we know how crazy Jericho gets over that title.” Sky says he doesn’t deserve or want a title shot, which Jericho takes the bait on again and says the title will be on the line!
They shake on it and Sky gets in Jericho’s face. “You may think I don’t have a chance but maybe I’ve been waiting 15 years for an opportunity just like that,” Sky says. “Maybe next week I’m going to beat you for the AEW Championship and turn ‘La Champeon’ into “Le Bitch!”
The Inner Circle hits the ring and beats down SCU. Jericho hits the Judas Effect on Sky as the Inner Circle forces the rest of SCU to watch. Marko Stunt and Jungle Boy – who were bullied by Jericho during the break – hit the ring and get laid out, but Luchasaurus hits the ring and comes face-to-face with Hager!
Hager makes out like we’re about to get a “hoss fight” but backs down and retreats with the rest of the Inner Circle instead.
The way they did the Bugs Bunny style of tricking Jericho comes off sounding kind of corny on paper but they did it really well and Sky getting super serious at the end was perfect. That match should be really fun. #AEWDynamite

Luchasaurus (0-1 singles, 0-3 overall) w/Jurassic Express vs. “The Librarian” Peter Avalon (0-3 singles, 0-4 overall) w/Leva Bates

Ortiz and Kassidy exchange some chain wrestling before we head to a break.
—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-
Back from the break, PNP whip Quen into the corner but Quen leaps to the top only to eat a Super Russian Leg Sweep from Ortiz and then a Deadlift German Suplex from Santana for a nearfall before Kassidy breaks it up with a Ghetto Stomp.
Santana hits a Backbreaker on Quen and then holds him over his knee in a kind of modified Bow-and-Arrow submission. Santana hits a series of Rolling Vertical Suplexes capped off with Santana handing Quen off to Ortiz for a Delayed Suplex. Santana comes back in and Ortiz hands Quen over to him as well and they do the hand off yet a third time before Ortiz drops Quen with a Falcon Arrow for a nearfall.
Ortiz starts raking the back of Quen and then locks him in a Boston Crab. Santana tags himself in and kicks Quen in the head before locking him in a Camel Clutch while Ortiz holds onto the Boston Crab at the same time! Santana transitions into a rollup for a nearfall before we go to another break.
—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-
PNP are still working Quen over in their corner as we come back from a breakup. Ortiz locks Quen in a Bear Hug but he manages to roll him up and dive to tag in Kassidy! Kassidy hits a Hurricanrana on Ortiz and dropkicks Santana off the apron.
Kassidy hits an Enziguri on Ortiz and then a Asai Moonsault onto Santana on the floor! Kassidy hits a Slingshot Code Red for a nearfall but Ortiz wasn’t legal. Quen hits a Somersault Plancha onto Santana on the floor. Private Party goes for the Silly Sling but Quen’s back is injured.
Ortiz hits a Powerbomb on Kassidy followed by a Roundhouse Kick from Santana for a nearfall. Santana tags in and kills Kassidy with a Pump Kick followed by a Hanging Cutter from Ortiz for another nearfall.
Santana grabs a slapjack from under the ring as Ortiz distracts the referee but Nick Jackson runs out and takes it away. Kassidy Superkicks Ortiz and then one for Santana. Gin & Juice to Santana for the pin!
Winners: Private Party via pinfall (Gin & Juice)
Sammy Guevara runs out and attacks Nick Jackson but Dustin Rhodes makes the save!
There was one clunky spot – where it wasn't made clear one of the guys was not the legal man so a pin couldn't happen – but that was a really fun match. PNP are so good and Private Party have SO MUCH potential. #AEWDynamite
