AEW Dynamite Recap Tonight for San Jose
AEW Continental Champion Jon Moxley & CMLL World Heavyweight Champion Claudio Castagnoli of the Death Riders def. NJPW World TV Champion “The Alpha” Konosuke Takeshita & Hechicero of the Don Callis Family
We opened the night with Moxley and Castagnoli making their way through the fired-up San Jose crowd flanked by Marina Shafir, who carried Moxley’s AEW Continental Championship over her shoulder.
This match began with a huge “AEW” chant at the bell as Hechicero faced off with Castagnoli just days after they were part of the brawl to end Collision. Hechicero worked in and out of submissions and taunted Castagnoli, which turned into a shoving match, with Hechicero putting Castagnoli on the mat. They traded a series of near-falls, but wound up face-to-face in a stalemate. After both men missed big moves, Castagnoli seemed to have Hechicero primed for a Neutralizer, but Hechicero flipped out and captured Castagnoli in a unique heel hook. Castagnoli bailed to the outside, so Hechicero flipped off Moxley!
Both Moxley and Takeshita tagged in at the same time, which elicited a “HOLY SHIT!” chant from the San Jose crowd. Moxley and Takeshita went face-to-face and traded shoulder blocks, but Takeshita had the advantage. Moxley grabbed Takeshita’s arm and brought him to the corner to tag Castagnoli. They beat Takeshita in the corner until Castagnoli brought Takeshita back to the middle of the ring. Takeshita fired back with a big dropkick and tagged Hechicero. Castagnoli quickly dragged Hechicero to his corner and tagged Moxley. Hechicero fought through the Death Riders' double-team attempt and knocked Moxley from the ring. Hechicero used a flying headscissors to send Castagnoli to the mat, so the Death Riders regrouped on the floor.
Hechicero found himself in the wrong corner after Moxley and Castagnoli started to cut the ring off and keep Takeshita out of the match. Hechicero escaped from a giant swing and propelled Castagnoli over the top with his legs! Castagnoli got back in the ring and tagged Moxley. They sent Hechicero to the corner, but he flipped over to the apron. He trapped Moxley’s knee in the ropes and took Castagnoli down from the top! Takeshita made the tag! He booted Castagnoli and took Moxley down with forearms and a leaping elbow. Castagnoli ran into Takeshita’s boot in the corner, which allowed Takeshita to spring up with a hurricanrana that sent Castagnoli to the outside. Moxley grabbed Takeshita in a choke, but Takeshita backed out of it right into a blue thunder bomb for a two-count!
Takeshita tried for the Power Drive Knee, but Moxley caught it! Moxley and Takeshita traded elbows and big boots until Castagnoli came out of nowhere to nail Takeshita with a diving uppercut! Moxley followed with a lariat, but Takeshita kicked out at two! Moxley moved into a crossface, followed by a cross armbreaker until Takeshita got to the ropes. Moxley picked up Takeshita for a Gotch-style piledriver, so Takeshita backdropped out of it and put Moxley down with a huge knee to the face! Both Castagnoli and Hechicero tagged back in with Hechicero quickly attacking the head, arm and neck of Castagnoli in a matter of seconds! Hechicero missed a charge into the corner, so Castagnoli lifted him over the top rope. Castagnoli ran down the apron and took Hechicero down with a senton splash using his whole body! Castagnoli charged around the floor and cracked Hechicero with a running uppercut before returning him to the ring.
Castagnoli came off the top with a crossbody, but Hechicero rolled through it and hit a flapjack before trapping Castagnoli’s arms to roll him around the ring. He stopped for a pin attempt, but Moxley broke it up! Takeshita dropped Moxley with an elbow! Castagnoli knocked Takeshita from the ring with an uppercut! Hechicero rolled up Castagnoli for a near-fall! Castagnoli got back up and executed a giant swing on Hechicero. He tried for a pin, but Hechicero kicked out! Castagnoli hit a running uppercut to the corner, but Hechicero followed him to the other corner with a rising knee! Hechicero dropped Castagnoli on the mat and dropped a leg across his neck to get a near-fall! Hechicero got another two-count with a backslide. Hechicero nearly ran into the referee in the corner, but stopped in time. Castagnoli took that opportunity to poke Hechicero in the eye and capture him in a small package to steal the victory!
After the match, Lance Archer and Mark Davis hit the ring to attack Moxley and Castagnoli! Shafir tried to enter, but Archer shoulder tackled her to the mat! Archer nailed Moxley in the head with the cast on his hand and held Moxley up for Takeshita to hit him with a chair. Takeshita refused to do it! When Davis grabbed the chair to finish the job, Takeshita stopped him! All the while, Don Callis was barking orders from the apron, but eventually gave up and left. Hechicero pleaded with Takeshita to attack the wounded Moxley, but he still refused and left up the ramp with the rest of the Don Callis Family as the Death Riders recovered in the ring.
AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champion and TBS Champion Willow Nightingale and CMLL World Women’s Champion Persephone Meet Before Their Match
Renee Paquette was backstage with both Nightingale and Persephone ahead of their one-on-one match later tonight! Nightingale congratulated Persephone for beating Mercedes Moné for the CMLL World Women’s Championship, and Persephone said Nightingale would know about beating Moné since she took the TBS Title from her. The two had a friendly argument about who hit Moné harder, but then agreed to go out and kill it tonight before going their separate ways.
Kyle Fletcher and Don Callis Talk to AEW World Champion MJF
Backstage, Callis was firing up Fletcher when MJF walked up and said he wanted to see what Fletcher was going to do to Bailey. He called Fletcher “a beautiful man” and then reminded Fletcher that Bailey kicked him in the face last week, so he asked Fletcher “to beat the absolute sh*t” out of Bailey. Fletcher referred to MJF as “Maxwell” and said he doesn’t take orders from him. Fletcher will beat Bailey up so bad for himself, not MJF. MJF told Callis he should teach “his guy” how to talk to the world champ and exited. Fletcher told Callis they'd better not be working for MJF, and Callis asked if he looked crazy before pumping Fletcher up some more as they headed to the ring.
TNT Championship Match: AEW World Trios Champion and TNT Champion “The Protostar” Kyle Fletcher (c) def. “Speedball” Mike Bailey

Brody King def. Jiah Jewell … Swerve Attacks From the Crowd!
As King stormed to the ring, we heard some pre-recorded comments from him before the match. King said he was looking all over San Jose for Swerve Strickland, as he wasn’t even dressed in his gear for this standby match. Jewell charged King, which was a big mistake, as King floored him with a lariat. King nailed a Gonzo Bomb and quickly pinned Jewell.
King celebrated with fans around the ring and yelled for Swerve. As King continued to work his way around ringside, he was choked with a chain from the crowd! It was Swerve in King’s hoodie! He sent King into the steel post and threw him back in the ring. Swerve choked King with the chain until King broke the chain! Swerve tried to get away, but King snatched him with a back suplex. King crushed Swerve in the corner with a cannonball! Now King had the chain! He wrapped it around his arm and choked out Swerve over the ropes! Prince Nana came from behind to stop King, but King just swatted him away. That distraction allowed Swerve to pull King’s arm down on the chain to break free and bail up the ramp.
“Speedball” Mike Bailey Vows Vengeance on the Don Callis Family
Renee Paquette was backstage with Bailey after his TNT Title loss to Kyle Fletcher, where it took interference from Okada and Davis to get the job done. Paquette called it another tough loss and asked Bailey how he can regroup for Sunday’s AEW World Trios Title match at Revolution. Bailey said he could go on and on about how the best man didn’t win tonight and how Fletcher needed to cheat to win. But that’s not who he is. Bailey called out the entire Don Callis Family and said that when he teams with Kevin Knight and Mísitico, they’ll get exactly what they deserve.
The Dogs (“War Ready” Gabe Kidd and David Finlay) def. Darby Allin & Orange Cassidy
Finlay and Cassidy opened this contest, or they were about to, until Kidd tagged in and charged at Allin to knock him off the mat! Finlay and Kidd tried to double-team Cassidy, but Allin came right back in to jump on Kidd’s back. They spilled to one side of the floor while Allin and Finlay brawled on the other side.

Back in the ring, Kidd stuck a thumb in Cassidy’s eye and dropped him with a big elbow strike. Finlay came back in and threw Cassidy across the ring. The Dogs were in control!
Cassidy was absolutely brutalized by Kidd and Finlay over several minutes, with no chance of tagging Allin.

Cassidy quickly returned to the ring with a floatover DDT, but Kidd stopped a pin attempt and held Cassidy from making a tag. Finlay grabbed Cassidy so Kidd could knock Allin off the apron. Cassidy was dragged back to the Dogs’ corner and double-teamed until he finally broke free from Finlay and made the tag!

AEW World Champion MJF & “Hangman” Adam Page’s Press Conference Turns into a Brawl!
Before the press conference began, we took a look back at the violent history of MJF and Page, which goes all the way back to the early days of AEW.
Bryan Danielson was tasked with hosting the press conference. He introduced Page, followed by MJF. Danielson solicited questions from the media. Page was asked if he was going for the AEW World Title or just revenge? Page said it’s always been about the AEW World Championship, and he’s going to take what’s nearest to MJF.
Another question asked about what fans can expect from the Texas Death Match. MJF handled it and complained he had to be in the match, but he’s a winner and will be leaving with the AEW World Title on March 15. Page said MJF will leave in an ambulance, and the fans will leave seeing the most extreme thing they’ve ever witnessed.
Another question for MJF asked about his two losses to Page last year, including at Revolution, but MJF immediately insulted the media member and then called those losses “flukes.” He’s not concerned about the last two matches, just beating Page on March 15.
Page was asked about what he was taking from previous Texas Death matches. Page said he’s the master of Texas Death. He’s won and defended the AEW World Title in Texas Death. He has made careers and ended them in Texas Death. MJF doesn’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell, and Page is bringing every lesson he’s ever learned in Texas Death and teaching them to MJF one drop of blood at a time.
Another question asked about Page’s history in California, since he’s won and lost Texas Death matches there. Page says they’ve been compared for years, but this year will be a repeat of last year’s Revolution, just a lot more bloody.
Danielson calls for one more question, and Page is asked if he doesn’t win the AEW World Championship at Revolution, who is he? MJF jumped in to repeat the question, so Page said that wasn’t happening. MJF wanted to raise a toast to Page, so he was given a couple of drinks and brought one to Page. “To you, never being the world champion again!” Page knocked the drink out of MJF’s hand, and the two started to brawl! Danielson tried to break it up, but the two spilled into the arena!
Page and MJF fought in the crowd and into the ringside area! Page threw MJF in the ring, and security ran down to pull them apart as the crowd booed in disapproval. Page knocked down all the security, so MJF charged at him with the Dynamite Diamond Ring, but Page was ready with a Deadeye! Page pulled a barbed-wire-covered board from under the ring and tried to hit MJF with a Deadeye from the apron to the razor-sharp wire board. MJF escaped in the nick of time and escaped through the crowd! Page and MJF jawed at each other as the night came to a close in San Jose!
