00:00A Bryan Danielson injury scare, the Hardy Boys returning to WWE, and my review of AEW

00:08Dynasty.

00:09I'm Oli Davis, and this is the WrestleTalk News.

00:19Before I get into my AEW Dynasty review, here's a quick update on the Hardy Boys returning

00:24to WWE.

00:26Even though Jeff is still signed to AEW, even though Matt returned to TNA at their Rebellion

00:31show over the weekend.

00:33The Wyatt6th prediction lives.

00:35Smackdown KO feud.

00:38Wyatt6th member.

00:39Oh okay.

00:41He would be a good 5th.

00:44I'll give you my 6th now, because they're not on this list.

00:48Matt freaking Hardy.

00:57After Matt Hardy broke like it was 2016 and attacked world champion Moose after Rebellion's

01:02main event, he revealed on X that he's just dating TNA in an on-exclusive We Can See Other

01:07People relationship.

01:09Which coincidentally is what your mum told me last night.

01:12He's also spoken on his podcast about recently being in talks with both WWE and AEW.

01:23Meanwhile Fightful is reporting Jeff Hardy's AEW contract is up much sooner than expected

01:29who was previously thought that could be expiring in 2025, making him available to join his brother

01:34in any talks.

01:35Or do you have the Hardy Boys do in the Paul Aveck era of WWE?

01:40Tell them to squeeze back into those mesh shirts in the comments down below.

01:44Now it's time for my review of AEW Dynasty in about 10 minutes.

01:48The Zero Hour pre-show saw Trent tap out Matt Seidel in his first match since being a very

01:53bad friend to Orange Cassidy.

01:56He told Chucky afterwards he wants to know what side he's on by Wednesday's Dynamite,

02:00and don't run away from Cassidy and Shibata, who came down for the next match tagging against

02:04Shane Taylor promotions.

02:05They had a really decent match, with some great sequences between Cassidy and Moriarty,

02:10which the babyfaces won.

02:11I would have had Trent cost them the victory somehow, so Shane Taylor didn't have to lose

02:16again.

02:17And the final Zero Hour match, the Zero Hour Main Event if you will, saw Bullet Club Gold

02:22unify the AEW and Ring of Honor six man titles by beating the acclaimed.

02:27You can make all the arguments you want about more people seeing the free matches, or that

02:31he's now got even more belts.

02:33Jay White being a pre-show act is a travesty.

02:37When Max Caster joked about that in his rap, the crowd didn't even react.

02:40They were too depressed.

02:41The match was fun in isolation, and Jay got to beat Daddy Ass hitting a Blade Runner to

02:46win.

02:47Hopefully this feud is now over, and both teams and sets of belts can go on to better things.

02:52The main card opened with Kozuchika a card defending his Continental Championship against

02:56Pac in an expertly building match.

02:59The pace was methodical, laid out to maximise the impact of the big moves.

03:03A top rope brain buster from Pac, a draping DDT off the apron outside from Okada, a Black

03:09Arrow sending Pac's face right into Okada's knees.

03:12A single Rainmaker to win.

03:14While Okada was having fun being a heel.

03:17The best being when he fired up the crowd for the Rainmaker pose, and just flipped a middle

03:20finger instead.

03:21Adam Copeland and his ROH friends took on the House of Black next, in a six man tag designed

03:26to build the next big TNT title feud.

03:29Copeland vs Malakai Black.

03:32Malakai even got the pin on edge after spitting the mist to set that up.

03:36But I was far more into KingBow!

03:40The Battle of the Kings!

03:41Brodie King vs Eddie Kingston, who chopped each other raw.

03:44Eddie got so fired up chopping at one point, he fell over.

03:47Julia Hart reportedly really is injured.

03:50While she got physical, she lost her title in just 6 minutes to Willow Nightingale, in

03:54a House Rules match where Willow banned not just Sky Blue, but her own friend Chris Statlander

03:59from ringside.

04:00That'd probably play into something.

04:01There's that Statlander-Willow tension.

04:03There's Willow's first title win.

04:04There's the unceremonious end to Julia's title reign.

04:07But much like most of the TBS title pictures so far, it's more about everyone asking,

04:11where's Monet?

04:12Monet?

04:13Where's Monet?

04:14Oh great, here she is.

04:15She's coming now.

04:16She falls barely into her celebration when Mercedes walked down like it's 2019 WWE to

04:21have a smiling stare-off.

04:22To me, it undermined Nightingale's first AEW title win, which to me should have been

04:27an all-time women's division moment, making her feel like a transitional champ just seconds

04:31into her reign.

04:33And it still feels like Mercedes has actually done nothing since she arrived in AEW.

04:38Weeks and weeks.

04:39Stilted interview after stilted interview.

04:41The only thing I can tell you about her character is Willow once injured her.

04:45There was an opportunity for an angle after the quick loss.

04:50Have Chris and Stokely side with Monet and turn on Willow.

04:53Something.

04:54Anything.

04:55I was hoping Roderick Strong vs Karl O'Reilly would be a sleeper hit.

04:58The international championship might have really fallen in significance since Roddy won

05:01it, and the undisputed kingdom might have completely lost its way.

05:05God damn do I love 2010 Ring of Honor, and these two brought me right back to my markiest

05:10of Mark Markusson days.

05:11You like backbreakers?

05:12Well then you're in luck.

05:14We got backbreakers on the mat.

05:15We got backbreakers up in the air.

05:17We got backbreakers on the top turnbuckle.

05:19So many backbreakers, Roddy didn't even need Wardlow interference to retain.

05:23Strong beat O'Reilly clean in a fantastic hard-hitting match.

05:26The rest of the undisputed kingdom appeared on the stage afterwards where Adam Cole stood

05:30up out of his wheelchair and jogged down to the ring.

05:33Hopefully that, and a well-placed stink eye at Wardlow, means this faction can get moving

05:38again after Cole's injury.

05:40Chris Jericho has made a career out of knowing when to leave the audience wanting more.

05:44His departure from WWE in 05, 2010, 2018, it always felt like he was one step ahead into

05:50his next overrun.

05:52So how are we six months into 2024 and the crowd are still chanting, go home Jericho,

05:58go home.

06:00And please retire.

06:02The thing is, he's actually having good matches.

06:06His FTW Hardcore Rules match against Hook here was pretty decent.

06:10Hook suplexed him all over the place, Jericho took a big bump off the apron through a table,

06:14and he gave Hook a ton, letting him kick out of two Judas effects.

06:18Which is rarer than a shiny Hooper or something.

06:20I don't know.

06:22I don't play Digimon.

06:23But the crowd don't want it.

06:24I don't want it.

06:26Jericho has go away heat right now.

06:28So him winning the FTW title in yet another of his feuds that started with the babyface

06:33beating him for him to then win doesn't make me excited for TV.

06:38Thunder Rosa pulled off her mask to reveal a new look for her championship match against

06:42Toni Storm.

06:43With a cool response from Toni rubbing off her makeup during the build and a larger meta

06:47commentary on Storm's fractured identity.

06:52They had a very decent back and forth match, which lost its way a bit for me when Mariah

06:55May Luther and Deonna Purrazzo started fighting outside.

06:58Toni still cheated to hit the Storm Zero to win.

07:01And then came, oh I don't know, one of the greatest matches I've ever seen.

07:05To me, the next match felt like the main event.

07:07It didn't have a belt on the line like every other bout on this card, it had something more.

07:12For a promotion now built around being where, the best, wrestle, they were fighting to

07:17finally decide who the best wrestler in the world right now is.

07:22Will Ospreay vs Bryan Danielson, and the answer is yes.

07:29The crowd were chanting holy yes word before the bell even rang.

07:32Danielson was smiling, relishing the occasion.

07:34Ospreay was serious, focused, Danielson's grin didn't last long though.

07:38They had a lightning fast sequence of reversals, feints and dodges.

07:41Bryan's face went from smiling to deathly serious, and he gave Will a middle finger.

07:46This really was delivering on the billing.

07:49They are deciding who the best wrestler in the world is, and I was in love with this match

07:54from about two minutes in.

07:56Danielson leaned more heelish, which is easy for the BCC tweeners, as Ospreay is a fantastic

08:01babyface.

08:02Bryan would lock Will in submission after submission, his speciality, while Ospreay would burst out

08:07into a flurry of athletic offense.

08:09Danielson hit a top rope tiger suplex.

08:12Will hit an oscutter on the apron.

08:14Danielson reversed a blade with a knee for an incredible near fall.

08:17The match had now thrillingly become big move after big move.

08:21Danielson cockily did the bicep pose in a triangle, but Ospreay picked him up for a one-armed Styles

08:26clash.

08:27And it culminated, as so many of Will's matches do, with a gear above everything else

08:37you didn't know was reachable.

08:39Danielson started leading Yes Chance from one corner of the ring.

08:42Will was poised opposite him, removing his elbow pad for the hidden blade.

08:46It was like two Warriors preparing for their final charge.

08:49Both men equal up until this point, about to hit their last, best shot, Bryan's knee,

08:56against Ospreay's blade.

08:58But Will was that little bit younger, that little bit quicker.

09:00He beat Bryan to the punch with a hidden blade.

09:03But Will didn't want to fire his best shot, only to find out he'd only wounded Danielson.

09:07So he picked him up and hit a Tiger Driver 91.

09:10The same move that beat Kenny Omega, dropping him on his neck.

09:13Ospreay ran to the corner to prepare for one last hidden blade, so he missed Bryan's

09:17twitching and the referee calling for the medic.

09:20Something was wrong with Danielson's neck.

09:22But Ospreay was in kill mode, already running towards a spasming Bryan and hit the hidden

09:26blade to win.

09:27It was a fantastic extra piece of drama at the end of one of the best matches I've

09:31ever seen.

09:32Will wanted to beat Danielson, but not like this.

09:35Is this the cost of being the best wrestler in the world?

09:38It sets up a story of Will's increasing heart, potentially pushing him away from Don

09:43Callis.

09:44Ospreay said in the post-match interview he'll be retiring using that move so no one else

09:49gets injured.

09:50AEW did the injury angle very well, with many buying into Danielson being legitimately hurt.

09:55It's clearly a storyline to put your fears at rest, as Fightful is reporting the spot

09:59was planned.

10:00I wouldn't know how to ever follow that match, but if I'm ever going to.

10:03I want it to be with FTR and the Young Bucks.

10:05Three hours into the card, four and a half hours into the whole show with the Zero Hour,

10:09after that incredible, emotional match, FTR and the Jacksons had a terrific ladder match.

10:15It's like the Bucks are more comfortable on ladders than they are in a normal wrestling

10:19ring.

10:20And Dak sure is comfortable bleeding, profusely, from his head.

10:24They had table bumps, pile drivers through ladder bridges, 450s off the top rope outside.

10:29It felt like each time was also locked in an anything you can do, I can do better war.

10:33But that was again FTR's downfall.

10:36Cash Wheeler went for a dive outside, with shades of his 450 attempt from their first

10:40match, for Nick to move and send him crashing through a table.

10:44Even with Cash taken out, Dax almost had it won, but a masked man ran in and pushed the

10:48ladder over for it to be revealed as scapegoat Jack Perry.

10:53With an excellent S-word eating grin, the Jacksons unhooked the belts to become the first ever

10:58three-time tag team champions, draping the Elite with gold and likely adding Perry to

11:03the faction.

11:04The main event was made by the result, with Swerve Strickland dressed in Black Panther

11:08inspired gear, winning the AEW world title.

11:12They had a great establishing set up, with Joe doing his walk away spot for Swerve to have

11:17that already scouted, landing off the top rope on his feet, and then to reveal he also had

11:22the superior game plan, targeting Joe's arm, meaning when he got the Kikina clutch locked

11:26in it wasn't as squeezy as usual and he survived.

11:30Joe used a snap power slam on the exposed concrete outside instead, or got his world title for

11:35a weapon at one point, but Swerve overcame all.

11:38He even kicked out of a muscle buster.

11:40Given the build to this match, which was based around Swerve loving bloodbaths and Joe being

11:44scared by the violent depth Strickland can go to, this did feel a bit like it was missing

11:49the extra edge.

11:50Not that one.

11:51It ended up as the fourth longest match on the card, somewhat undermining their war of

11:55attrition.

11:56It was a great moment though, and I'm incredibly excited for Swerve as champion.

12:00Thank you Joe.

12:01I will be forever grateful your title win wasn't just for Christmas.

12:05AEW Dynasty is 85% Now go watch my documentary on The Rise

12:10of Cody Rhodes, here's a clip, that gave birth to a nightmare, but not the good cli-

12:17UGH!

12:18Finish the story already!

12:21I've not even technically started the story, I've not even done the intro to the start

12:26of the story.

12:27Finish the story!

12:28You come back!

12:38You can do the time to keep running for $5 to $8.

12:41I'm a customer, Rich, I can't do this.

12:56I'm just kidding.
