Before Dynamite gets underway, AEW put out a pre-show to set the stage for tonight’s action:
The TNT Championship bout kicks off the show with Eddie Kingston accepting the challenge.
TNT Championship: Cody © vs. Eddie Kingston
Early on, Eddie Kingston hurts his knee and that plays a role in the entire match. On commentary, the team puts over Kingston selling gear to survive COVID-19.
Eddie Kingston would use the no disqualification aspect to his advantage utilizing thumbtacks, Cody’s weight belt, and More in an effort to win the championship. In the end, a figure four leg lock that partially took place in a pile of thumbtacks secure the victory and another successful retention of the championship for Cody.

Ivelisse vs. Diamante
A Big Swole promo played mid-match.
This match was heavy in physicality with both women exchanging heavy shots in their Dynamite debut. Ivelisse nails Diamante with a kick before both women continue exchanging. Diamante connects with clotheslines and a German suplex for a near fall.
Later, Diamante looks for her finisher and Ivelisse avoids it before landing a powerbomb for two. Diamante recovers and rolls up Ivelisse in a small package for the win.
These two do not like each other #AEWDynamite pic.twitter.com/PLx0ySv36R
