00:00here's the thing though osprey is he making an error here should he be wrestling defensively
00:04should he be going for the draw wait a minute wait a minute guys oh god he's going just like
00:09just like he did to daniel garcia he's going to try to take out will osprey
00:13my god he saved himself did osprey osprey osprey cover him
00:19now he's got hit and play hit and play
00:34i'm sure they're going nuts wherever they are watching this will osprey the champion
00:39does not want to settle for a count out does not want to settle for a time limit draw he wants to
00:45beat mjf definitively set up for a hidden blade that's hidden great timing yes he's got eyes in
00:53the back of his head either that or he cheated in a good way max looking at the tron that's a
00:57good call i was thinking maybe you heard the footsteps but you're right when you look at the
01:02big screen right you could see it but i mean that's just clever by max to do that i'm assuming
01:08that's what he did but either way you see osprey laboring toward mjf as the clock
01:16now becoming a major concern for the challenger maxwell jacob friedman
01:27ostrich square in the eyes lands the headbutt and now you know what he's thinking here x calvin
01:33you know what he's thinking you know what he's thinking yes it's not the storm one minute
01:39remaining in this match one minute one minute remains tiger driver but osprey he's he vowed
01:46to return it as he vowed never to use this hold again come on do it time to driver do it
01:53yes osprey he's got a loss can he do it though he's got him he's beating himself to do it he's
02:01got look at the face look at the face of osprey he's conflicted he vowed never to do
02:10he said i can't do it here's the thing 30 seconds remain
02:17how it's going to happen
02:21thrown into the referee bryce rimsberg
02:23now
02:48did that just happen here like what
02:49what we got a new international champion ladies and gentlemen the winner of this match
02:58and new aw international champion maxwell jacob friedman mjf
03:12i'm assuming he had something his hip maybe the ring i couldn't tell
03:17it is there it is son of a bitch here the referee didn't see it but we all saw the cow
03:2459 minutes 58 seconds wow i'm telling you wow i know mjf is going to say that will osprey
03:34was afraid was a chicken but when it comes right down to it mjf is no good he is worthless he is
03:44and will osprey has the moral fiber that mjf could never have you know hold on but when he doesn't
03:50have osprey is that international title anymore it's about winning titles i understand what you're
03:54saying shivani he did what he had to do the ref was down he cheated mjf but you know what
03:59you want that title that's that's how i see it but i get your drift mjf
04:04mjf succeeds tonight being a deplorable scumbag will osprey loses the international championship
04:15by being a decent human being obviously both men are yeah you're right that's exactly right
04:19osprey was being a decent human being some would say man you gotta have that killer instinct i'm
04:24not saying i'm not even implying that osprey doesn't have that killer instinct because he does
04:29but he made a vow not to use that tiger driver unfortunately it cost him that's also what cost
04:35him that diamond thick ring that max used to drill this man in the head while the ref didn't see once
04:43again the oxygen tank remember how mjf used that against brian danielson jeff playing playing all
04:49the greatest hits here tonight the ring john moxley's the only other man to hold the international
04:55title and the world title and now mjf follows suit rarefied air indeed for maxwell jacob

09:51but let's talk about dynamite 250 for aew i was on the very first dynamite and i've been on almost
10:01every single one since shocking and the ones that i missed the branches were so angry cards and
10:08letters filed in so i'm making a promise i'm never gonna miss another dynamite again
10:15i'm gonna be on every one until episode 500 thanks guys
10:22because it's like i've been saying when you listen to the learning tree
10:26good things happen and when you don't people are getting hurt damn it this isn't right
10:34i'm begging you to listen to the learning tree look into the people who haven't been listening
10:39just over the last few weeks look at this shabbat right here look at this accident with this with
10:45his arm it's a fireball in his face terrible terrible travesty and then and then samoa joe
10:54he gets literally driven through a wall because he wasn't listening to the learning tree
10:59i'm begging you this has to stop people are getting hurt i'd have to say at this point
11:09all of you realize that you need to listen to the learning tree
11:17all of you realize that the teachings of chris jericho are so important who would be crazy enough
11:24not to listen to the learning tree at this point in time
11:28who would be psychotic enough not to listen and use the teachings of chris jericho
11:35who would be maniacal enough to ignore chris jericho
11:45oh my god remember chris jericho he tried to enlist minoru suzuki for forbidden door
11:54he tried to bring one of the most violent men in professional wrestling to his side
12:00and suzuki he rejected the offer he said instead i want to punish you chris jericho
12:06i want to teach you a lesson
12:12what suzuki got there that's uh that's a paper where i'm heavily shocked to see suzuki
12:18what's in their hand that's what i want to know
12:40that's one of the absolute toughest men in the world
12:47well the fans here in little rock shouting out kaze ni no re the refrain of minoru suzuki become
12:53the wind but all i could hear was tony giovanni's voice
13:03is that what they were is that what they were chanting it was oh they were chanting shut up taz
13:09next week
13:11next week next week dynamite will be in national tennessee for official order aw
13:27redwood and bad apple are banned from ringside for the ftw title match their blood and guts
13:32what nice nice minoru suzuki is
13:42trust jericho everybody else kind of backing up to big bill brian keaton just flabbergasted by this

14:12brian keep the big bell bad from work side plus the blood and guts match
14:18double rings locked inside a solid steel cage let's hear from the elite
14:23oh you see that guys are you recording us record us right now we saw what you just said
14:31the acclaimed mark briscoe swerve it's ridiculous what pisses us off a little bit more though is the
14:38acclaimed thinking they're going to be two-time tag team champions not on our watch guys i think
14:44you need a little bit of a reminder about just who the heck we are we're the elite the greatest
14:50faction in the history of this company and after next week we'll have all the gold and we'll have
14:55all the power not all the gold the world championship all right but what we do to swerve
15:00next week let's just say that that title might become vacant all of a sudden because you're
15:05dealing with the most dangerous people in the business you're dealing with the young bucks
15:09the greatest tag team of all time you're dealing with the rain maker the continental champion
15:14the unpredictable scapegoat the tnt champion jack perry and my favorite making his return

16:49is about to sit for one ball with a 30-minute time limit he is for the tb x champion
16:58introducing first from boston massachusetts he is the jbw strong women's champion and
17:04the reigning tbs champion the ceo
17:10oh
17:16and as we found out the last few minutes tony mercedes manet
17:20after putting up an open challenge for the tbs championship for anybody but brit has had dr
17:26brit baker dmd banned from the backstage area here well it's uh it's one of those things that she can
17:33i guess get the our evps to do and how about what the evps had to say about all the championships
17:42jack perry's got the tnt title and they have the world tag team championship
17:47because it's locata the continental championship well after that long dive shot by you i gotta
17:52tell you for that long dance by mercedes it's a good chance locata passed out backstage
17:57introducing the children from washington dc the native beast
18:08a great contrast in styles next caliber nyla rose the second ever aw women's world champion
18:15the first woman to 100 wins in adw history narrowly edging out hikarashita and this past
18:22saturday night picking up a dominant victory on collision and then calling out the ceo this is
18:30this is the problem with an open challenge tony you don't know who's gonna answer and sometimes
18:34it's the native beast and clearly yes a former champion like you said she's won five of the last
18:39six matches and before i right before the referee took the title from mercedes you guys were
18:47speaking but i looked at mercedes face and she was very concerned hugging that championship
18:53mercedes understands the massive threat that's in front of her and her title right now
18:59i'm gonna say you can tell you tell yeah the body language not there mercedes giving up quite a bit
19:07of size and strength to her opponent as she's trying to solve what she's trying to do is back
19:12her up with that lock-up excalibur and and and the shades can do it and instead
19:18mercedes walking up the ropes pawing boot into the face and let me check on kazuchika's
19:24cottage blood pressure here to say he's definitely smitten with uh still to come
19:31tonight our main event facing swerve strickland one-on-one for the first time ever just flung her
19:37off and we're saying i'm sorry to nyla rose with the drop toe hold nyla into the center strand
19:45that's what you got to do get nyla down get her off her feet mercedes hammering down with those
19:50kicks nyla face first top turnbuckle mercedes once again trying to chop down the larger opponent
19:58three
20:03fans still to come tonight new here from mariah may for the first time since her shocking betrayal
20:09timeless tony storm since mariah won the owen hart foundation women's tournament to earn her
20:14shot at tony storm at wembley stadium all in london and as i was mentioning our main event
20:19swerve strickland kazuchika one-on-one ahead of next week's blood and guts match
20:24you know that one is going to be heated but mercedes finds her feet chops out the back of
20:31the knee of nyla rose and now mercedes goes around looking for ddt nyla oh that didn't work too
20:37powerful nyla have you lost your mind nyla giving mercedes an earful and now laying the tbs champion
20:49this is yeah right here this is what nyla's gonna do here she likes that flying guillotine the
20:57the big knee drop off the top and connects mercedes spun for a loop nyla looking for
21:07the cover here one two no mercedes kicks out and this continues in picture picture
21:13there she is hurting and trying to catch her breath after that and nyla given the champion
21:26no room to breathe hammering down with that elbow strike to the top of the head and now into the
21:31backbreaker this is where the size disparity comes into play taz you got nyla able to literally bend
21:41her opponent in half absolutely and that's and nyla knows how to exploit that and take advantage
21:47of that her her powers over her opponents and as we've been pointing out definitely a size
21:53disadvantage here and now a backbreaker by the challenge oh man straight up torture
22:00right there center of the ring that worked shuffled her feet there got a wide wider vertical
22:05base that time as well but you saw mercedes fighting at the grip of nyla rose dropping to
22:11her back trying to look for an arm drag mercedes likes to employ those lucha libre techniques but
22:18everything to your point next top everything that mercedes is trying
22:22it's just falling apart she got out of the way and nyla nyla's momentum carried her shoulders first
22:29into the ring post and then mercedes comes in flat of her boot into the jaw of the challenger
22:34i wouldn't wait here mrs i would definitely keep the pressure on the challenger they said that she
22:39got her off her feet
22:47now bringing the challenger out to good distribution of weight on the larger opponent's
22:52shoulders but nyla is still powerful enough to kick out yeah you need cover i think that was
22:55smart even though it didn't work by mrs instead of hooking the leg i think that was a smart cover
23:00them the ceo very savvy training around the world competitors of all sizes and styles you know so
23:12when you when you do that you definitely become very diverse in wrestling different type of styles
23:17here and we're seeing now mercedes turn it up she's laying out to the live i guess back on
23:25that's just that's how it works and then you just talk so i can't talk
23:31that's right dude he's been down to right hands onto the head of nyla rose but nyla
23:41thinking powerbomb out of the corner maybe thinking beast bob but instead mercedes counters
23:44and now mercedes knees off the ropes to nyla able to kick out frustrations right there
23:54what do you think of that tony shivani yeah i mean i like that you specify tony shivani
24:02few people know that my government name is tony excalibur so i'm glad that you clarify
24:06i have a lot of tony's here especially the big boss abdominal stretch i didn't expect to see
24:11mercedes do this i got it shivani i didn't expect to see this i'll take care of it it's all good
24:16you just lay out wait for her back live here don't worry he's waiting to talk over
24:22minoru suzuki's theme song next week and everybody else who speaks
24:28look at those elbows point the elbows good job jess you suck bro
24:34oh
24:41i got him there
24:46dynamite 250 the tbs championship on the line nyla rose the challenger is fading in the grip
24:53of mercedes monet the ceo first real big offensive maneuvers here by maneuvering
25:00try again you waited till we're back on live tv he couldn't even get around he can't even spit
25:03outside where i'll take care of it the ceo man she's got the challenger fixing the choker out
25:08legs are in real choke power has been helping but now rolls yeah nyla changing her grip
25:14now the ceo snap suplex well done well done rose
25:22now she's got to follow up with something here taz
25:25well the opportunity is definitely there
25:29i love oh come on oh cleaner clock with that one she even telegraphed him still got a bit
25:36as nyla charging into the corner smash mercedes oh brother dropping down
25:45cannonball run ceos of trouble a cannonball in the corner
25:50oh nyla pulls mercedes out we have a new champion well that shows you how tough
25:58the tbs champion is mercedes right there kicking out because nyla put some heavy offense on her
26:05taz we touched on it during the break in picture in picture mercedes monet she trained around the
26:10world against opponents of a variety sizes variety of styles yeah it's a great counter wrestler and
26:15right there it's a kick to the ankle bringing the larger opponent down into the splash mercedes
26:22and then capitalizing there shivani you saw it with that splash and she's coming up got her down
26:28keep her down you know you mentioned that scout of her championships the tbs championship her ninth
26:33title in her 14-year career and the meteora two three no nyla another kick out almost retaining
26:44her title was the ceo and she's pretty upset because she thought for sure that was it
26:50but remember nyla rose she's been here in aew since day one all 250 episodes of dynamite even
26:56before that all the way back to the original double or nothing would mean so much for nyla
27:02to win the tbs championship tonight on this milestone event and an inventive way to get
27:10mercedes especially what we just seen can you imagine another title change here tonight
27:16i mean it could happen right as mercedes and nyla in the rush avalanche bulldog
27:28as mercedes what's this here oh but digging into a glove with i believe ceo on it and nails
27:38interesting marking that she's dr britt baker dmd absolutely definitely what's happening well
27:44she can do that now with brit band i'm definitely marking brick
27:52i think so yep the lockjaw cinched in and look at that nyla's biting down on the hand
27:59she doesn't know how to put pressure on that
28:03she's a doctor she knows but mercedes knows how to put lock in the statement maker gonna
28:07get her here i think statement maker cinched and nyla forced to take back
28:16the winner of this match and still tbs champion the ceo mercedes money
28:26while she may not be a dentist mercedes monet is still the new japan strong women's world
28:34champion and the tbs champion here tonight with her victory over nyla rome definitely momentum
28:41for the champ monet rolling but as the dmd sign the britt baker sign
28:49oh
28:58the doctor and look at the ceo making a break for it oh what's the journey coming on this security
29:08Trying to form a wall, trying to separate DMD and Zio.
29:14They know how to fight a 26-caliber.
29:18And Britt Baker, she might have been banned from the backstage area,
29:22but she was not banned from buying a ticket and sitting on ringside.
29:26But fans, let's take you back to one week ago,
29:30the explosive conclusion of Dynamite, pun intended.
29:39Mariah!
29:40Two!
29:41Three!
29:43What a moment!
29:44Mariah May will face her mentor,
29:47timeless Toni Storm, all in London.
29:53Oh my God!
29:54What the hell just...
29:58Toni has been like a mother to me.
30:00Darling, I love you so much.
30:02And I want you to have all the same opportunities that I've had.
30:05I will stop at nothing to bring this cup home.
30:09She has snapped!
30:13What the hell is wrong with Mariah May?
30:17I have to make Toni proud.
30:22Has she been playing this all along?
30:24This is her mentor!
30:26All in Wembley Stadium.
30:30Toni, this one's for you.
30:36WEMBLEY STADIUM
30:45Darby Allen, last week you wanted my attention.
30:48Well, you've got it now.
30:50But all you had to do was ask,
30:52did you really have to go and hurt Brandon Cutler?
30:55Or maybe what I mean to say is,
30:58do you think I give a shit about Brandon Cutler?
31:05I can't!
31:21Come find me tonight,
31:23and I'll show you what a real sacrifice looks like.
31:30Remember, it was last week.
31:32Darby Allen had that threat for the Elite.
31:35He's coming for them tonight.
31:37I'm sorry, look at this!
31:39Toni Storm!
31:40I thought we were supposed to hear from Mariah May,
31:42but instead, Timeless Toni Storm.
31:44What's the condition of...
31:45No, it...
31:47is not.
31:51Playing the part of Timeless Toni Storm tonight
31:54will be none other than her challenger at Wembley Stadium,
31:58the glamorous Mariah May.
32:02And what a betrayal we saw last week.
32:04We documented it earlier in this program.
32:07Shocking turn of events last week.
32:10Talk about showing a vicious side.
32:13And Mariah May...
32:15I mean, we're going to hear from her in a moment,
32:17but as we speculated,
32:18was this something that she was planning all along,
32:21getting in close to Timeless Toni Storm,
32:24earning her trust, earning her confidence?
32:27I would have to think so.
32:28I can't think she would turn on her
32:30just in the spur of the moment like that.
32:31I have a feeling that this was all a plan from the get-go.
32:36I agree, it was stewing for sure.
32:38You don't do something like that...
32:40like Mariah did last year.
32:42That's got to be stewing.
32:43The realization setting in of the fans here live in the house,
32:46realizing this is not Timeless Toni Storm.
32:48In fact, it's the woman that will challenge her at All In London.
32:50It's Little Rock. It takes them a while here.
32:53Yikes.
33:01Hell speak, bitch. Come on now.
33:03Oh, my God, Siobhan. What the hell is wrong with you?
33:05I'm sorry. I'm just angry about what happened last week.
33:08Unprofessional men.
33:09I know. I just...
33:11You're the B-word enough here on Dynamite.
33:13Okay.
33:14Let's be honest.
33:19You all saw it coming.
33:25Everybody saw it coming.
33:28Everybody saw it coming.
33:32Except Toni Storm.
33:45A woman so desperate for the spotlight,
33:49she didn't realize she was giving it all away.
33:59The question shouldn't be why.
34:06The question should be,
34:08Mariah, what took you so long?
34:16Honestly, I didn't think it would last this long either.
34:23But it was so easy.
34:28And I was having so much fun stringing her along.
34:35I just wanted to see how far it would go.
34:42But then I saw Wembley.
34:48And I thought,
34:50why take the old horse out back
34:54when I can kill it in front of as many people as possible?
35:05I've been Toni Storm.
35:09And now I can be so much more.
35:18But don't worry, Toni.
35:22I still love you.
35:25In fact...
35:40They want the real Toni Storm.
35:45They want the real Toni Storm.
35:48And who's to blame, right?
35:50What a champion she's been.
35:55Toni, I have never loved you more
35:59than when you were on your knees,
36:02bleeding, crying, screaming my name.
36:06That was your greatest performance.
36:12And my greatest performance
36:17will be at All In.
36:27Because now,
36:30all elite wrestling
36:34is all about Mariah.
36:42Wembley Stadium.
36:44Sunday, August 25th.
36:46Timeless Toni Storm,
36:48the AEW Women's World Champion,
36:51faces her former protege,
36:54the top contender, Mariah May.
36:57But fans, right now,
36:58let's take you back to Collision
37:00this past Saturday night.
37:05Bang, bang, gang.
37:06Just a quick word.
37:07A quick word.
37:08Tensions are extremely high right now
37:10because you're just stripped
37:11of your AEW stuff.
37:12Okay, okay, hold on, hold on.
37:13We ain't stripped of anything, okay?
37:15Whoever wants these belts
37:16is gonna have to pry them
37:17out of our cold, dead fingers.
37:19You understand?
37:20Who's gonna do that, huh?
37:21I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you.
37:22Guys, listen,
37:23I know it's an unpopular decision.
37:24I'm not happy about it either.
37:26It's not fair.
37:27But these are the rules
37:28and I gotta follow them.
37:29It's my job.
37:30No, you're not taking these from us.
37:31You're not taking these.
37:32Listen, the alternative is
37:33I suspend you
37:34and you don't have an opportunity
37:35to win the belts.
37:36Take them.
37:37You want them?
37:38Take them.
37:39Take them.
37:40All right, all right, all right.
37:41Get out of here.
37:42I got it, I got it.
37:43It's cool, it's cool.
37:44Patriarchy.
37:45You think the Bang Bang Gang
37:46is scared of a guy
37:47with a father fetish?
37:49A 16-year-old TikTok kid?
37:50Their stepmom from Brazos
37:51is a lizard?
37:52Hell no!
37:53Oh, yeah, that's right.
37:54You know what's gonna happen?
37:55The Collision Cowboys
37:56are coming home
37:57and we're coming home
37:59with our homies

39:51World Champion,
39:54Sword Strickland!
40:00And we have had
40:01an incredible broadcast
40:03top to bottom
40:04this 250th episode
40:05of AEW Dynamite.
40:07What a way to cap it off, Tez.
40:09This main event,
40:10what a first time ever
40:12one-on-one matchup.
40:13Absolutely, it's fitting
40:15for Dynamite 250.
40:17Totally agree.
40:18I mean, to see these two athletes,
40:20Okada and Strickland,
40:22battle in our main event here.
40:24Strickland,
40:25AEW World Champion,
40:27Okada,
40:28and AEW Continental Champion.
40:30I'm all in, let's do it.
40:32And just to think,
40:33a week from now,
40:35these two men will be locked
40:37inside a double
40:40solid steel cage,
40:41two rings enclosed
40:43inside a steel cage.
40:45See the eyes of Okada,
40:47briefly there.
40:48He's all business, man.
40:49He's a serious cat.
40:50But you're dealing with
40:51the World Champion, Shabani.
40:52Episode 250,
40:54needless to say,
40:55we have an overrun tonight.
40:56We're gonna stay with this one.
40:58And I'm telling you,
40:59seeing Kazuchika Okada
41:01against Swerve Strickland
41:02is absolutely amazing.
41:04You're taking a look
41:05at probably the most dominant
41:07IWGP World Champion ever.
41:09Without a doubt,
41:10the men that spent the longest time
41:12in the history of New Japan Pro Wrestling
41:14holding their top prize.
41:16We just got booted to the face
41:17by our AEW World Champion,
41:18Swerve Strickland,
41:19who,
41:20very nice trip there.
41:21Swerve looking for the house call.
41:22Okada
41:23ducks out of the way,
41:24looking for the Rainmaker.
41:25No!
41:26Swerve looking for big pressure.
41:27Okada and Swerve.
41:29Great countermaneuvers here now.
41:31Again, Okada using his length,
41:33the head scissors.
41:34And you speak of the left,
41:35both these guys,
41:36definitely north of 6'2".
41:38These guys are,
41:39they have height.
41:40Okada a little bit taller.
41:45And also,
41:46while we have a moment here,
41:47I want to congratulate
41:48Willow Nightingale,
41:49who over this past weekend,
41:50claimed the CMLL
41:51Women's World Championship.
41:54Sir.
41:55And Willow,
41:56Willow,
41:57I mean,
41:58the great representative of AEW
41:59is a heartbreaking loss for her
42:00a week ago against Mariah May,
42:01but making something
42:03out of the week for her.
42:04So congratulations,
42:05Willow Nightingale.
42:06It's awesome.
42:07Definitely awesome.
42:08Congrats to Willow, for sure.
42:09But right now,
42:10Swerve Strickland
42:11slipping out of the grip
42:12of the Rainmaker,
42:13Kazuchika Okada.
42:14Swerve elevates over the top,
42:15brings Okada towards center.
42:17Now the T-Hairs
42:19has Okada taken down.
42:22And it's interesting,
42:23this match between
42:24the World Champion
42:25and the Continental Champion
42:26thus far,
42:27has been a straight-up
42:28wrestling match.
42:29But we know, Taz,
42:30one week from tonight,
42:31Blood & Guts,
42:32it will be anything but.
42:33It's going to be a barbaric fight.
42:35I mean, you're right,
42:36next week will not be a match.
42:37This is kind of a mockery there,
42:40but right now,
42:41the AEW World Champ
42:43in control.
42:44I think we've seen,
42:45I'm sorry to calibrate that,
42:46Blood & Guts over the past
42:48number of years
42:49that we've had Blood & Guts,
42:50and even throughout history
42:51in many different promotions,
42:52it's the most dangerous match
42:53you can get involved in.
42:54We've seen guys
42:55thrown off cages.
42:56Top of a steel cage here.
42:58We've seen careers shortened.
43:00Yes, we have,
43:02by that match.
43:03And remember,
43:04Team AEW,
43:05only four members,
43:06Mark Briscoe,
43:07Swerve Strickland,
43:08and as we found out
43:09earlier tonight,
43:10Max Caster,
43:11Anthony Bowens,
43:12the acclaimed.
43:13So Team AEW,
43:14who's going to fill
43:15that fifth slot?
43:16Remember,
43:17Hangman Page,
43:18after losing
43:19in that...
43:20Oh!
43:21Swerve!
43:22Fake tie,
43:24after losing in the
43:25Owen Hart final last week,
43:26he found out he wasn't
43:27going to get his hands
43:28on Swerve at Wembley Stadium,
43:29so he had to take
43:30the elites off him.
43:31Right.
43:32He had to join
43:33Team Elite,
43:34whether he wanted to
43:35or not,
43:36in order to enact
43:37his revenge
43:38on Swerve Strickland.
43:39And is that going to be
43:40good for Team Elite?
43:41For him,
43:42because you know
43:43who Hangman's going
43:44to focus on.
43:45Yeah, he's only got
43:46one priority,
43:47but right now,
43:48the priority for Okada
43:49is the DDT on the floor.
43:50Swerve Strickland in trouble,
43:51and fans,
43:52the DDT continues
43:53in picture-in-picture.
43:54Don't go anywhere!
43:55Inside the ring!
43:56Come on, Swerve!
43:57Don't miss him!
43:58All right, DDT
43:59hit its mark.
44:00Okada,
44:01driving
44:02the AW World Champion
44:03right on his head
44:04on the outside here.
44:05Here's the thing
44:06about Kazuchika Okada,
44:07I mean,
44:08such a well-conditioned
44:09athlete to have,
44:10such a low resting
44:11heart rate,
44:12and, I mean,
44:13really,
44:14these bursts of acceleration
44:15really belie what
44:16he's capable of.
44:17He wrestles
44:18at a very slow pace,
44:19but,
44:20I mean,
44:21he trained at Montreal
44:22Libre,
44:23that's how he broke
44:24into this business.
44:25He can move,
44:26you know,
44:27step-for-step
44:28with somebody like Swerve
44:29Strickland.
44:30He chooses not to.
44:31I know Okada
44:32a long time,
44:33you know,
44:34early in his career
44:35when he came to
44:36the United States
44:37and was wrestling
44:38on excursion,
44:39you know,
44:40at the moment,
44:41he was competing
44:42with some of his
44:43matches,
44:44so,
44:45nothing but
44:46respect for Okada,
44:47and you're spot-on
44:48about his style.
44:49He hits stuff
44:50at the right time.
44:51Okada's masterbate.
44:52I think it's a lot
44:53about confidence, too,
44:54and you can just see
44:55the way he approaches
44:56every match here.
44:57You talk about a guy
44:58who's been wrestling
44:59for 19 years,
45:00how many G1s
45:01he won,
45:02four times,
45:03I mean,
45:04the accolades
45:05throughout the years
45:06and the titles
45:07he's won,
45:08it's amazing.
45:09I was amazed,
45:10to be honest with you,
45:11absolutely amazed
45:12that he signed him.
45:13I'm thinking,
45:14how about Okada
45:15coming to AEW?
45:16Yeah,
45:17pretty impressive
45:18by Tony Khan.
45:19That's right,
45:20now,
45:21that's
45:22nice getting
45:23out of that
45:24by Okada.
45:25Okada, though,
45:26fighting maybe
45:27a handful of hair
45:28there into the
45:29neckbreaker
45:30on Swerve Strickland.
45:31How about that,
45:32Tony Schiavone?
45:33He's seen Okada
45:34win the G1
45:35four times,
45:36but he's never
45:37heard of Suzuki's music
45:38before.
45:39I know,
45:40yeah,
45:41isn't that crazy?
45:42And I don't think
45:43anyone gave it in.
45:44Well,
45:45you can't really win
45:46him because
45:47he's never been
45:48in the ring in real life,
45:49no one can.
45:50Bro,
45:51you're a schmuck,
45:52man,
45:53you know what I'm saying?
45:54I'm going to get you
45:55after the show.
45:56Don't.
45:57Oh,
45:58Swerve,
45:59shoulder first
46:00into the corner,
46:01courtesy of Okada.
46:02Okada's coming in
46:03quick here,
46:04boys,
46:05I'm telling you.
46:06There's that acceleration
46:07and the leap
46:08of the elbow.
46:09Yeah,
46:10right now,
46:11you see Schiavone,
46:12Okada,
46:13he's looking at the people
46:14and he knows they hate him,
46:15he don't care,
46:16the elite,
46:17man,
46:18he don't care.
46:19Yes,
46:20sir,
46:21they have brought him
46:22over here and the elite
46:23have,
46:24and they have,
46:25what have they,
46:26what have they created
46:27here?
46:28Um,
46:29yeah,
46:30that's the thing.
46:31I mean,
46:32he was such a popular
46:33figure in Japan and,
46:34well,
46:35he's still popular,
46:36he's just not liked.
46:37Exactly.
46:38I mean,
46:39but I get your drift,
46:40I get your drift.
46:41I mean,
46:42sometimes people don't
46:43like people,
46:44Schiavone,
46:45he was comparing me
46:46to a guy he didn't like.
46:50Twelve pies.
46:53Lumber cut there
46:54by Okada,
46:55has to be careful
46:56trying to go blow for blow
46:57right there.
46:58That's tough
46:59for,
47:00for as good of a striker
47:01as Schwerf Strickland is.
47:03Schwerf might be
47:04world class,
47:05but Suzuki Okada
47:06undoubtedly world class
47:07as well in that department.
47:08Tough jaw too,
47:09Okada,
47:10tough jaw.
47:11You know,
47:12most guys who train
47:13in that
47:15dojo system
47:16is going to come out
47:17with resiliency
47:18and a tough jaw.
47:19Before,
47:20Monika was the Rainmaker,
47:21it was tough jaw Jones.
47:22Well,
47:23that's actually a good gimmick.
47:25The trademark
47:26and all of that too.
47:29Our main event
47:30continues live tonight
47:31on AEW Dynamite
47:32250,
47:33a first time ever
47:34matchup.
47:35Schwerf Strickland
47:36just clipped
47:37Kazuchika Okada
47:38in the jaw
47:39with that headbutt.
47:40Oh man.
47:41Well,
47:42I'll tell you what,
47:43that was impressive, man.
47:45Headbutt right up in the jaw.
47:46I was just talking about
47:47during the break
47:48how powerful
47:49and tough the jaw is
47:50of Okada,
47:51but it got tested.
47:52Schwerf gets the boot up
47:53and Okada,
47:54the dropkick
47:55on target
47:56wipes out Schwerf.
47:58And Okada
47:59is known for that
48:00excellent dropkick.
48:02He's got height.
48:03He's a tall dude,
48:04a lot of range
48:05and excellent footwork
48:06and athleticism.
48:10For some reason,
48:11I think that Schwerf
48:12may have hurt his right hand
48:13or his wrists.
48:15Why?
48:16He was shaking it
48:17and I'm not so sure
48:18why.
48:19Okay.
48:20That's a good reason why.
48:21Again,
48:22we've got an overrun.
48:23Don't stay with us.
48:24We're going to keep
48:25staying with them
48:26as long as...
48:27Okada maybe looking
48:28for the tombstone
48:29on the apron,
48:30but Schwerf
48:31fighting out,
48:32driving the elbow down.
48:33Well, it's good
48:34we have an overrun
48:35because right now
48:36no one has an advantage
48:37in my opinion, you know?
48:38No, I mean,
48:39as you would expect
48:40in a match like this
48:41with the AEW World Champion,
48:42the AEW Continental Champion,
48:43you see Schwerf,
48:44he's worrying
48:45after that left shoulder.
48:46That was the target
48:47of Okada's offense
48:48very early on
48:49in this match.
48:51Schwerf
48:52and Schwerf
48:53floats over
48:54the flatliner
48:55and look at that.
48:56Okada from his knees,
48:57Schwerf gets him up
48:58and drives him down.
48:59We've got the moment.
49:00Good power.
49:01Another cover.
49:02The far leg is hooked
49:03and Okada
49:04able to kick out.
49:05I think Okada's
49:06realizing rapidly
49:07why Strickland
49:08is the AEW World Champion.
49:11Prince Nana shouting
49:12some words of encouragement.
49:13Words of encouragement
49:14from ringside.
49:17Okada
49:18observing the progress
49:19of the World Champion
49:20but the Continental Champion
49:21to his feet.
49:23Yeah, that eye set it all
49:24in Excalibur.
49:25He knew what was going on
49:26in Okada.
49:27Yeah, that Schwerf stomp
49:28likely was coming up next.
49:30But Okada
49:31just raking the eyes.
49:34And now Okada
49:35maybe think of that
49:36that neck breaker
49:37from that air raid position.
49:39Yeah, he's got Schwerf
49:40hooked
49:41and there's a neck breaker.
49:42Wow.
