AEW Dynamite 24th of April 2024

This week’s episode of AEW Dynamite kicks off with The Young Bucks and Kazuchika Okada arriving in one vehicle and Jack Perry arriving in another. They walk into the building united, but security arrives to try to keep Perry from entering. Matthew and Nicholas force the security to back down and say he is with them.

Back in Daily’s Place, Orange Cassidy’s music plays, and he’s tossed onto the stage by Trent Beretta. Beretta beats Cassidy down, gets in the ring, and calls out Chuck Taylor. Beretta says he apologizes to Taylor for not taking out Cassidy earlier.
Trent says when they brought Orange Cassidy into AEW, he was supposed to be their mascot, but they were turned into his lackeys. Beretta insists Cassidy doesn’t care about Taylor. Beretta tells Taylor to give the people what they want.
Taylor teases the hug and says that Beretta has always been a piece of shit and bashes him in the head with a microphone. Taylor says he knows AEW won’t clear him to compete, but he doesn’t want to face him in the ring… he wants him in the parking lot.

Jon Moxley is backstage to hype up his IWGP World Championship match with Powerhouse Hobbs. Moxley says he knows he’s one mistake away from dropping his title tonight. Mox says he knows how hard it is to get to the top and stay at the top.
Moxley says he knows tonight is going to be hell, but there’s nowhere else he’d rather be. Moxley says tonight he’s going to remind the whole world who he is, just in case they forgot. Mox says the world will feel Hobbs fall tonight from Jacksonville to Tokyo.

Stokely Hathaway and Kris Statlander are in the ring. Hathaway says we are here for a Willow Nightingale for a TBS Championship celebration. Kris Statlander says some kind things about Nightingale, and Hathaway brings Willow out.
Hathaway admits that when they first started this journey, he didn’t like her, and Nightingale says she didn’t like him either. But they’ve ended up becoming good friends. Nightingale says she started with AEW in Daily’s Place just trying to get an opportunity, and now she stands in front of everyone as the TBS Champion.
This brings out Mercedes Moné. Moné says for Jacksonville to say hello to her CEO. Nightingale says this is the fourth time that Moné has interrupted her, and this is her time now. Moné says she’s just out there to congratulate her on her title win and to inform her that she’s going to be the new TBS Champion at Double or Nothing.
Moné says while she’s out there, she wants to know if Willow was the one who attacked her a few weeks ago. The blame game is played, and multiple women are blamed, and nothing gets revealed. Nightingale says she wants to know if Moné blames her for injuring her in their match at New Japan last year.
Moné doesn’t come out and say it, but she pretty much confirms it. Nightingale says she admits she wondered if she could beat Moné at 100% and knows that her win over her has an asterisk on it. Nightingale says there was no asterisk on her win at Dynasty.
Moné says to enjoy it while it lasts because she’s taking that title at the pay-per-view. Moné tries to walk away, but Statlander grabs her to spin her around. Mercedes thinks it is Nightingale, and she slaps her. This turns into a pull-apart to end the segment.

Big Bill surprisingly comes to the ring to confront Chris Jericho. Bill says he only has one thing to say: he needs the guidance of the Learning Tree. Bill says Jericho is the Socrates of professional wrestling, always willing to give advice and lend a hand.
Big Bill says there’s a long line of guys in the back who want to be part of the Learning Tree, but there is nobody bigger and better a fit for it than him, and Jericho knows it. Jericho says he’s been watching Bill for a long time and that he’s one of the reasons Bill is here in AEW. Jericho says he’s going to keep his eye on Bill to see if what he’s saying is true.

Tony Khan comes to the ring. Perry says it’s been a long road. He reflects upon the first Double of Nothing five years ago and says AEW has changed the world. Perry says he and TK haven’t always seen eye to eye, but all he’s ever wanted is what’s best for AEW.
