Ian’s DON Go-Home Dynamite Recap (In Progress)

AEW

Tonight, Darby Allin defends against “Speedball” Mike Bailey in his… I want to say 8th defense of the Men’s World Championship. Meanwhile, Kyle O’Reilly attempts to repeat last year’s victories over Jon Moxley, only this time a Continental Championship match awaits if he can win again.

Dynamite opens with a video of Jericho and the Bucks by the shore. They hype Stadium Stampede, talk about their past friction, Jericho apologizes for beating up Papa Buck.
