AEW Dynamite 4th of September 2024

This week’s episode of AEW Dynamite kicks off with Daniel Garcia coming to the ring to speak. Garcia says patience is a virtue and he’s not feeling very virtuous tonight. Garcia says he wants to break MJF’s neck tonight and calls him out.
MJF responds from the crowd surrounded by security and says he doesn’t want to ruin their match on Saturday by beating his ass tonight. MJF says he doesn’t want any excuses from him at All Out when he breaks his neck. Friedman says he doesn’t attack people from behind like a coward.
Daniel Garcia says nobody believes anything that just came out of his mouth, and that it’s fake and a lie. Garcia says everything about MJF is fake from his tan to the makeup on his face to cover his acne and to the trip he took overseas to get a hair transplant that didn’t even work.
Garcia says the thing that’s the most fake is his love for AEW and that he can get as many tattoos as he wants the people will never believe him. Daniel says he’s obsessed with ruining MJF’s life. Garcia says he hopes MJF gets married and has an ugly kid so he has to tell his kid that he used to be a wrestler until Garcia ended his career.
MJF says Garcia still has so much more to learn. MJF says dropping Garcia on his head was him trying to do Garcia a solid. Friedman says you can’t trust anyone as these fans used to love him. Friedman says the fans turned on him because he got too big.
MJF says the more you rise in this sport the more the fickle fans will want to watch you fall. Friedman says he’s gonna make sure the fans can’t hurt Garcia the way they hurt him. MJF says he’s gonna put Garcia in a wheelchair this weekend.
Friedman makes unflattering comments about Garcia’s mother. Garcia heads into the crowd and starts brawling with security and is eventually restrained as MJF mocking waves goodbye to him. Garcia somehow gets free and gets to MJF, who breaks a wine bottle over his head.
MJF props Garcia up who is now bleeding. MJF thanks for for waking up something in him that’s been dormant for far too long. Friedman says as a token of his gratitude he’s going to send Garcia straight to paradise, and for that, he can thank him later. MJF kisses Garcia’s bloody forehead and walks away.

The Conglomeration and Will Ospreay are backstage. Ospreay says he’s pumped to team up with the Conglomeration tonight and asks for any words of wisdom. Mark Briscoe cuts one of his trademark promos that hypes everyone up.

Swerve throws the table in the ring angrily. Hangman says Swerve told him last week that he must choose between hate and success, vengeance or peace. Page says it isn’t much of a choice for him at all as they are one in the same. Hangman says all he wants is to burn Swerve’s world to the ground.
Page says he’s happy he helped cause Swerve to lose the title at All In. Hangman says Swerve needs to say goodbye to the AEW World Championship and never hold it again. Page says he’ll lose everything on Saturday, but tonight he’ll get a little practice as he’ll get to say goodbye to Swerve’s house.
