AEW Dynamite: Bash at the Beach Results, Grades, and Analysis

Jericho was backstage, leaving the arena, where he gave an interview saying that it was Moxley’s fault this happened, by denying his offer to join the Inner Circle. Jericho said that PAC or Darby Allin should thank him, because whoever wins is getting a free pass next week because Moxley isn’t going to be able to wrestle, as he can’t see.

The Butcher & Blade (0-) w/ The Bunny & MJF (0-0) w/ Wardlow vs. QT Marshall (0-0), Dustin Rhodes (1-1), & Diamond Dallas Page (0-0)

Page was going to start the match with MJF, but he immediately tagged out to the Butcher. DDP tagged out to QT Marshall, so MJF got back in to wrestle him. Marshall flipped MJF off, but he poked his eyes and tagged out to Blade. Blade got nailed with a flying cross body, and then Marshall tagged out to Dustin, who hit a series of moves before being driven back into the enemy corner and eating a punch from MJF.

MJF was wearing the Dynamite Diamond Ring, and MJF handed it back to Wardlow, and they began to get the heat on Dustin as The Bunny and Wardlow attacked him on the floor. Butcher hit a stalling vertical suplex on Dustin for a 2 count. The Blade continued to get the heat on Dustin here for the next few minutes. MJF went to jump onto Dustin’s back, but Dustin rolled over and MJF crashed crotch first into Dustin.

Dustin hit a back drop over the top rope on MJF, who crashed face first into the apron. Butcher pulled Marshall off the apron, but Dustin hit Blade with a powerslam, and he was able to crawl over to DDP who got a big pop as he started beating on MJF! Page drove MJF into the ring post several times and hit a discus lariat on Butcher and a lariat on Blade.

Page went for the diamond Cutter on MJF, but he low blowed DDP. Page tagged out to Dustin, who hit a jumping Canadian Destroyer on MJF, and then Page hit the Diamond Cutter. Blade broke it up, but Dustin hit a cannonball onto everyone on the floor. QT Marshall hit a handspring flip dive over the top rope. DDP then hit a dive off the top rope on everyone! MJF rolled up QT and held the tights for the 3 count!

Result: MJF, Butcher, & Blade

Rating: **1/4 (2 stars, but 5 stars of fun)

DDP looked excellent here, despite his age, and I laughed that he still had his ribs tapped up, 23 years later after a kayfabe injury.

Backstage, Hangman Page went up to SCU, and he was clearly drinking. He was belligerent with them, and Kenny Omega had to play peace maker again, apologizing for Page, and promised SCU that he respected them and that he was looking forward to having a good match next week.
