During the event the show, it was revealed it was revealed that Trent Beretta wasn’t medically cleared and he was substituted in his fight with Mike Bennett by Orange Cassidy who, himself, had recently been cleared from a scrape however it’s not clear whether Beretta has been injured in real life or it’s merely part of the plot.
In the initial round that took place tonight’s AEW Dynamite the match that was a duration draw limit, FTR defeated The Blackpool Combat Club in tag team combat.
Dax Harwood, Dax Cash Wheeler had an intense fight to Claudio Castagnoli and Jon Moxley but the mid-Shatter Machine was able to win. FTR was poised to win when the bell rang out to conclude the match.
When the two brawlers refused to cease fighting the bell continued to ring while security officials, and the front office rushed out to stop the fight.
Tonight’s #AEWDynamite, NEXT on TBS, will be presented with up to 5 minutes overrun!
This has been one of the most hectic weeks for injuries + unexpected unavailability that I can recall in @AEW, especially since the pandemic era.
Tonight will be a wild night on @TBSNetwork!
