Nov 23, 2022 - by Steve Gerweck

The post-Full Gear 2022 episode of Dynamite kicks off with the usual theme song and video. We then shoot inside the Wintrust Arena in Chicago where pyro explodes and the commentators welcome us to the show.

No MJF This Week?

We shoot inside the ring where William Regal is standing by. He says fans won’t hear from the new AEW Champion until next week.

He says he sent MJF an email but we won’t hear about that until next week. He says that’s when MJF will be back. As soon as he finishes saying that, “Wild Thing” hits and out comes Jon Moxley.

As Mox nears the ring, Bryan Danielson sprints down and gets in between he and Regal. He pleads with Mox not to hurt Regal, pointing out he has a bad neck and bleeding of the brain. He smacks Mox and then pleads some more with him to ignore the boos and the crowd and just listen.

Danielson talks about his dads struggling in the past and tries relating it to their current situation with Regal. Mox gets in Regal’s face and says he wants only one thing from him. He tells him to run. Regal walks off as fans taunt him.

Keith Lee & Shane Strickland Talk

We shoot backstage where Renee Paquette is with Keith Lee. She says we all saw what happened between he and Shane Strickland at Full Gear. She asks for his thoughts. He walks in and Lee warns him to choose his words carefully. Strickland covers the camera and says let’s talk.

AEW All-Atlantic Championship
Orange Cassidy (C) vs. Jake Hager

We head back to the ring for our first match of the evening, which will be a championship contest. Out comes Jake Hager from the J.A.S. He settles in the ring and his music dies down.

Now the reigning, defending AEW All Atlantic Champion Orange Cassidy makes his way out for his fifth defense of the title. The bell sounds and we’re off-and-running with this one.

The two go nose to nose and Cassidy does his hands in the pocket, wimpy kicks routine. He tries to take Hager’s hat but Hager isn’t having it. Finally he knocks it off Hager’s head and after picking it up, everyone from the J.A.S. in Hager’s corner tries getting it, but Cassidy avoids them all.

He dives onto Hager on the floor, but Hager catches him and slams him into the steel ring post. On that note, we head to a mid-match commercial break as the match continues.

As we return from the break we see Hager is still in control of the offense. He dominates for a while but then gets hit with a big spot. Moments later, Cassidy gets a roll-up out of nowhere and gets the three-count to retain.

Winner and STILL AEW All-Atlantic Champion: Orange Cassidy

The House Of Black Returns

Once the match wraps up, we see The Factory and QT Marshall come out and approach Orange Cassidy about giving out AEW All-Atlantic title shots, As they reach the ring, the lights go out.

Page dominates throughout the majority of the match by focusing on the softened up ribs and mid-section of “Absolute.” Starks hits a big spear but hurts himself in the process.

As the action spills out to the floor and Page takes over control of the offense once again, we head to a mid-match commercial break. We return from the break and see Stokely Hathaway getting involved, The referee ejects him from ringside.
