By Colin Tessier

All Elite Wrestling delivered the star-studded “Grand Slam” episode of AEW Dynamite from Arthur Ashe Stadium on September 21.

The show featured five title matches, including the AEW World Championship match, where Bryan Danielson faced Jon Moxley for the title.

The results are as follows:

ROH World Championship: Claudio Castagnoli (c) vs. Chris Jericho

The two men shake hands. Castagoli drills Jericho with a number of European uppercuts. He controls the match early on and dumps Jericho onto the ropes. The champion sends Jericho to the outside with a big boot. He keeps up the attack, but Jericho grabs Cary Silkin and hides behind him. He throws Silkin at Castagnoli and uses the distraction to gain the upper hand. Castagnoli catches Jericho with an uppercut in mid-air. They trade chops, and Jericho drops the champion. Castagnoli hits him with another uppercut. Jericho rakes Castagnoli’s eye and suplexes him off the apron and onto the floor. “The Wizard” takes control and grounds Castagnoli. The champion rallies, but Jericho sends him crashing into the corner. Castagnoli fires up, but Jericho chops him. Jericho counters a powerbomb and hits a hurricanrana off the top rope for a two count. Castagnoli counters the Codebreaker and nails an uppercut for a two count. The champion locks in a Sharpshooter, but Jericho reaches the ropes.

Castagnoli hits the Ricola Comb for a two count. He knees Jericho in the gut. Jericho hits a Codebreaker in mid-air for a two count. Jericho locks in the Walls of Jericho, but Castagnoli fights his way out. He takes Jericho swinging and drills him with a lariat. Jericho tries to hit Castagnoli with his bat, but the champion blocks it. With the referee distracted, Jericho hits him below the belt and nails the Judas Effect for the win.

AEW World Tag Team Championship: Swerve in our Glory (Swerve Strickland and Keith Lee) (c) vs. The Acclaimed (Max Caster and Anthony Bowens) (with “Daddy Ass” Billy Gunn)

Fabulous accompanies Swerve in our Glory to the ring. DJ Whoo Kid accompanies The Acclaimed. Bowens tells “Daddy Ass” to scissor him. Bowens and Keith Lee start the match as the fans chant “Oh, scissor me, daddy.” Lee overpowers Bowens early on. He drops Bowens with a hurricanrana. Caster tags in and doesn’t fare much better at first. He takes Lee down with an arm drag. Strickland dropkicks Bowens and Caster when they try to scissor each other. Strickland takes control. The champions double-team Caster and ground him. They keep him isolated, but he rallies and suplexes lee. Bowens makes the hot tag and clears house. He takes the fight to Strickland and Lee.  Strickland nails him with a kick as the champions take control again. Bowens dodges the Swerve stomp and gets a two count on a pin attempt. Lee blasts him with a headbutt and throws Bowens over the top rope. Lee climbs up on the second rope, but Caster dodges a moonsault attempt.

Strickland accidentally hits Lee with a boombox. The Acclaimed capitalize, as they scissor each other before they go for the Mic Drop. Caster lands badly on his knee, and he rolls out of the ring. Strickland tags in, but Caster is back up on his feet. They square off, and Swerve takes control. Caster drops him with a back suplex. Lee lifts Caster on his shoulders and tosses him to Strickland, who hits a powerbomb for a two count. Bowens drags Caster to the outline, and Strickland dives onto him. Billy Gunn gets in Strickland’s face and stares him down. Bowens takes advantage and punches Strickland. The referee is distracted, and Gunn hits the Fameasser on the floor. The Acclamed hit the Mic Drop for the win.

Winners and new AEW World Tag Team Champions: The Acclaimed

The Acclaimed and Billy Gunn scissor each other.

FTR is standing backstage, and Cash Wheeler says all four guys killed it. He says FTR has been the top-ranked team since April, so they want a title shot. The Gunns interrupt and wonder if FTR is losing their momentum. They say they’re more talented version of FTR.

Wheeler Yuta is on the ramp with Tony Schiavone. He is asked about the title match between Bryan Danielson and Jon Moxley. MJF interrupts and gets a big pop. He calls the fans his devil-worshippers. MJF turns to Yuta and says he’ll never get a reaction like that. He says Yuta is “mid”, whereas he’s a “god” to these people. MJF says he’s a generational talent. Yuta notes that he has more catchphrases than he has friends, and he’s the king of low-hanging fruit. Yuta compliments MJF’s fiancée and calls MJF a “spineless, worthless piece of human garbage.” Yuta says MJF’s fiancée will walk out on him, much like MJF walked out on AEW. MJF wishes Danielson and Moxley well; he says they’re fighting to lose the world title to him. He says Yuta can still get advice from his mentors; he references Danielson’s injuries and Regal’s past with substance abuse. MJF drops Schiavone with a cheap shot, and Yuta attacks him. W. Morrissey chokes Yuta from behind, and MJF lays him out.

Jade Cargill is backstage, and Diamante interrupts. She introduces Trina as her backup for AEW Rampage.
