AEW Dynamite Thanksgiving Eve 2024 Results
AEW DYNAMITE was broadcast live on TBS from the Wintrust Arena in Chicago, IL!
Excalibur, Nigel McGuinness, and Tony Schiavone were the broadcast team for tonight’s event.
It’s Wednesday night and you know what that means!
MVP and The Hurt Syndicate came to the ring to open the show!
MVP: “Attention AEW viewing audience, this is an official announcement from the Hurt Syndicate. I am standing in between two of the finest athletes to ever grace a professional wrestling ring. Tonight it’s about the lessons that we teach.
“When MVP offers you his business card, an opportunity to join the Hurt Syndicate, that’s like me giving you an opportunity to change your life. If you’re like Swerve Strickland, you’re not terribly smart. At Full Gear, Bobby Lashley beat the snot out of Swerve Strickland.
“Swerve is an amazing young man, a former World champion, but he is not the most dangerous man in AEW. Bobby Lashley is the most dangerous man in AEW. Bobby Lashley is a walking Armageddon. We come here to take championship titles and leverage them for more money and more power. We are the merchants of misery. We are in the profession of pain. What do we do? We hurt people.”

Mercedes: “Kris Statlander gave me one of the hardest fights of my entire career and proved she is one of the very best in the ring. But I am the greatest TBS Champion of all time. And at Full Gear I showed the world how a real woman gets the job done. And Kamille, since you can’t get the job done, I want to tell you—”
Kamille: “Shut up! Are you stupid or are you dumb? You can’t fire me because I quit.”

Max Caster walked by laughing.
Swerve: “What’s funny, man?”
Max: “You used to be a house of fire.”
Swerve heard enough of Caster’s mockery, and Swerve struck Caster down. Prince Nana told Swerve they had to leave quickly.
Tony Schiavone interviewed “Hangman” Adam Page in the ring!
Page: “First of all, if Christopher Daniels wants to get in my way, I will knock him back on his ass and the next time he will not get back up. And as for Full Gear, I made a deal, and I kept up my end of the deal. And Christian, if you kept up your end of the deal, I’d be back in town tomorrow with the World Championship around my waist! But you failed Christian!
“My intention is and always has been to be the AEW Men’s World Champion! It should have never been Swerve. It shouldn’t have been Bryan’s or Mox’s, and it won’t be Christians, because it’s always been mine!”
“Switchblade” Jay White walked onto the stage!
Jay White: “I have a question for you. What happened in your match with Switchblade Jay White at Full Gear? That’s hard for you to answer. What happened to your match against me at WrestleDream? You lost both of those matches. If anyone is worthy of the AEW World Championship, it’s not the Hangman, it’s the Switchblade. If five times still isn’t enough, if you’d like another taste of the Switchblade, we can do it tonight!”

Adam Cole: “I am so sick and tired of playing this game. Max, if you were half the man that you claim to be, then you’d be a man and fight me. But you’re not because you’re a little bitch. After what you did to Roddy, when I get my hands on you, I’m going to beat you within an inch of your pathetic life!”
Kyle O’Reilly came down to the ring!
Kyle: “Adam, with all due respect, man, you fought Max, and it didn’t work out. Let’s try something a little different. Let me fight Max.”
Adam: “Kyle, stop! After what you said last week, that really stuck with me.”
Kyle: “This isn’t for you. I’m doing this for Roddy.”
MJF appeared on the screen.

Renee sat down earlier in the day with Mina Shirakawa!
Mina: “I knew the day would come. I have been waiting a long time. If Mariah could do that to Toni Storm, I knew she could do that to me too. I never wanted it to happen.
