A major face-to-face and more took place on the August 13 edition of AEW Dynamite.
Over the past few weeks, MJF has been taunting World Champion Adam Page as he looks to win back the title from “Hangman.” After MJF attacked Mark Briscoe the previous week, leading to Page making the save, both men will meet for a face-to-face on the show, likely to set up a match at Forbidden Door later in the month.
Additionally, Jon Moxley was in action against Kevin Knight as the former World Champion looks to build momentum once more following his title loss at AEW All In: Texas.
Excalibur, Tony Schiavone and Taz were on commentary for the show.
AEW Dynamite Results August 13
- The show opened with MJF and Adam Page having their face-to-face confrontation, which was agreed to have no physicality. MJF tried to provoke Page into giving him a title match without losing his Casino Gauntlet opportunity, but Page wouldn’t break as he said MJF had to earn it. In the end, MJF took Page’s bait and used his opportunity at Forbidden Door on August 24.
- Jon Moxley defeated Kevin Knight. After the match a major brawl ensued that ended with Will Ospreay issuing the challenge for a lights out steel age match at Forbidden Door.
- Alex Windsor, Queen Aminata & Willow Nightingale defeated Mercedes Moné, Thekla & Skye Blue. Athena and Toni Storm started brawling on the balcony after the match, which eventually made its way into the ring. Windsor took out Mone and Storm promised to “bareback [Athena and Mone] all over Scotland.”
- Adam Copeland vs. Stokely Hathaway went to a no contest when FTR interfered, also negating their restraining order. FTR tried to continue the beating until Christian Cage made the save. Cope and Christian fended off FTR, then Nick Wayne and Kip Sabian to stand tall.
