AEW WRESTLEDREAM RESULTS – OCTOBER 12, 2024
Renee Paquette welcomes us to the pre-show and introduces us to RJ City and Jeff Jarrett. City makes some weird quote from Cinderella and Jarrett talks about the many title matches scheduled for tonight. They run down the ways you can watch tonight’s show and run down some of the lineup.
Chuck Taylor joins the trio at the pre-show panel, complaining about his wobbly chair as he helps break down some of the action on tap for the special event this evening. They spend some time talking about Mark Briscoe vs. Chris Jericho for the ROH World Championship.
After that, Nyla Rose joins the panel and helps break down the Willow Nightingale vs. Mariah May title bout planned for the show. When that talk wraps up, we shoot to Darby Allin in a special backstage promo.
He talks about wanting to see how far Brody King will go tonight. He also says somewhere, sometime, he will face Bryan Danielson and take the title. Before he leaves he says, “It’s showtime!” Whether that’s a tease for Sting remains to be seen.
ROH TV Championship
Atlantis Jr (c) vs. Brian Cage
We shift to the commentary team of Excalibur, Tony Schiavone and Nigel McGuinness, who are at ringside. They set the stage for our first of three matches on the “Zero Hour” pre-show. Out comes “The Machine” Brian Cage.
His opponent, the reigning ROH TV Champion, Atlantis Jr., makes his way out next. The commentators talk about him being stretchered out of Arena Mexico recently as a way of explaining his heavily taped up neck. Cage goes to work on the champ early, focusing his attack on the neck of his masked opposition.
Cage hits a big spinebuster and then the commentators gush over his physique for a bit. Atlantis Jr. starts to fight back after connecting with a hurricanrana out of the corner. He picks up the pace and the crowd comes to life as his high-flying offense is put on display.
He hits a diving cross-body but Cage rolls to the floor to avoid being pinned. Atlantis Jr. hits a big dive through the ropes to splash onto “The Machine” at ringside. He returns to the ring and flies over the ropes for a splash this time, but Cage barely catches him so he lands hard. Real hard.
After some more back-and-forth action, Cage ends up connecting with his Drill Claw finisher. He quickly follows up with the pin for the victory. With the win, “The Machine” Brian Cage is your new ROH TV Champion.
Winner and NEW ROH TV Champion: Brian Cage
Harley Cameron vs. Anna Jay
Backstage, MxM Collection hype their special surprise person for later in the show when they face The Acclaimed. Rico is then introduced, and the former WWE Superstar looks identical to his old days. Back inside the arena, Harley Cameron makes her way to the ring.
The commentators talk about Harley only having a little over a dozen matches since making the transition from model to AEW star. She surprises the announce team throughout the first several minutes of the bout, dominating the offense over the most experienced Jay.
Although she fared better than expected, Cameron ended up getting overtaken by Jay, who brings things to a head by hitting her finisher and scoring the pin fall victory over her less experienced opposition to wrap up the second match of the evening.
Winner: Anna Jay
MxM Collection (w/ Rico) vs. The Acclaimed (w/ Daddy Ass Billy Gunn)
It’s time for the third advertised match on the 90-minute “Zero Hour” pre-show here at AEW WrestleDream 2024. With that in mind, Rico (Constantino) accompanies MxM Collection as they head to the ring for scheduled tag-team action.
The Acclaimed’s theme hits and out comes Max Caster doing his freestyle rap routine, accompanied by Anthony Bowens, who hits lines about d*cks not working and MxM Collection being up each others butts like Diddy.
Billy Gunn gets on the mic and talks about Rico being a guy who almost convinced him to marry another guy. He says “Sorry Anthony” after that line. Whoops! The bell sounds and Mansoor and Bowens kick things off for their respective teams.
Caster tags in and hits a Manhattan Drop that shifts the offensive momentum into the favor of The Acclaimed. Rico, who was old when I was a kid, hits a spinning back kick as a cheap shot on the floor. Did I mention he looks identical to his WWE days? Fountain of youth-type stuff.
MxM Collection takes back over off the interference. Rico ends up getting involved, leading to Gunn hitting the FameAsser on him. Bowens hits The Arrival and Caster follows up with the Mic Drop for the win.
Winners: The Acclaimed
Tony Khan With Antonio Inoki’s Grandsons
The AEW President Tony Khan came out to the stage with some special guests. Khan was joined by the grandsons of the late, great WWE Hall of Fame legend and Japanese pop culture icon Antonio Inoki. Naoto Antonio and Hirota Inoki came out with the trademark red towel around their necks like Inoki used to wear, and joined Khan in doing Inoki’s “Ichi Ni San Da!” chant with the Tacoma crowd.
The Outrunners & The Conglomeration vs. The Premier Athletes & The Dark Order
The Outrunners then make their way out. Truth Magnum and Turbo Floyd head to the ring to a big crowd reaction. Their partners from The Conglomeration, Orange Cassidy and Kyle O’Reilly make their way out. Rocky Romero accompanies them to the ring.
After they settle in the ring, their opponents make their way out. First, The Premier Athletes make their way out, Ariya Daivari and Tony Nese, accompanied by Josh Woods and “Smart” Mark Sterling. Alex Reynolds and John Silver from The Dark Order come out next, accompanied by Evil Uno.
The bell sounds to get this one started and then we see some basic early back-and-forth action. The heel team takes the early offensive lead and then the babyfaces fight from underneath back into the offensive lead. Sterling gets involved, leading to Cassidy and O’Reilly taking him out and then The Outrunners pulling off the win.
Winners: The Outrunners & The Conglomeration
Kazuchika Okada, Kyle O’Reilly Kicked Out Of The Building
Backstage, we see AEW Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada being interviewed when Kyle O’Reilly approaches him fresh out of the ring from the previous match. He tells him he respects him and asks him for a shot at the title. Okada says let me think about it.
He says no and turns to walk away. He turns back around and says “….b*tch.” O’Reilly tries another approach and brawls with Okada. AEW Interim EVP Christopher Daniels and security rush to the scene and break things up. Daniels ejected Okada and O’Reilly from the building. The “Zero Hour” pre-show wraps up moments later.
Jay White vs. Hangman Page
Kicking off the pay-per-view card is “Switchblade” Jay White and “Hangman” Adam Page. After their respective ring entrances, the match gets underway as our pay-per-view opener. The two stare each other down before circling and locking up. Page sends White to the corner before Jay fights his way out.
Page sends him to the ropes but is met with a shoulder tackle by Jay and a dueling chant from the crowd. Jay sends him to the corner, but Page turns it around as he lays into the Switchblade with some hard strikes. Hammer throw sends White to the opposite corner, but Jay catches Page with a low dropkick before going after the Hangman’s legs. Page crawls to the ropes for a break, only to be driven into the bottom rope by White who leaves the ring to keep on the attack before re-entering for a two-count.
We see the action head to the apron as Page sends the Switchblade to the floor before bringing him back into the ring. Jay back to his feet, fighting back with some punches but Page is quick to retaliate with some elbow strikes that ground Jay to the mat. Page brings the Switchblade back to his feet for a chop, followed by a fall away slam into the corner for a nearfall. He takes Jay to the corner for some mounted punches, but White fights back to escape…only for Page to swing him around to the canvas for another nearfall.
Jay slowly gets to his feet, taking the punches of Page as he fights back with a right hand…but Page rattles him with a right hand of his own, sending the Switchblade back down. Page sends him to the ropes, but White stops his momentum before evading a Buckshot Lariat attempt. Jay goes to the corner, catching Page by surprise with a suplex into the corner before getting back up.

Not for long though, as Jay hits him with a DDT and gets the cover, only for Page to kick out. The two lock up as each looks for the upper hand. Jay catches Page for a suplex but the Hangman escapes, only to be driven down by Jay who lands a German suplex and bridges for a nearfall. White gets Page on the top turnbuckle now, but Page digs into the face of the Switchblade to fight him off.
White finds his footing however, responding with a chop that hangs the Hangman in a tree of woe…before leaving the ring for some chops to the chest of Page, digging his hands into Page’s face as an act of revenge. Page finally breaks free from the ropes as Jay gets onto the apron, only to be driven onto the hardest part of the ring with a Death Valley Driver from the Hangman.
Page looking for a Buckshot Lariat as Jay tries to keep him at bay, but the Hangman rattles him with some forearm strikes to take him down. White manages to retaliate with a dragon screw that sends Page to the floor…only for Page to respond with a powerbomb sending White onto the steel steps with a nasty thud. Jay gets to his feet as the ref tells Page to bring this match back in the ring, giving White a brief opening to attack before Page goes back on the attack.
Page has a belt in hand as the ref continues to get involved. This allows Jay to hoist Hangman up, where he dumps him knee-first onto the ramp. Jay crawls toward the ring. Page is trying to recover while the ref begins the count, but White breaks the count when he leaves the ring. White blasts Hangman with a big clothesline. Back inside the ring, White sends Page in the corner and unloads on him with a flurry of strikes.
Page fights back, but White blasts him down into the mat for a two-count. White goes for a Bladerunner, but Page avoids it. White hits a half-and-half suplex. He goes for Bladerunner again, but Page counters with Dead Eye. Page goes for a Buckshot Lariat, but leaps into the Bladerunner from White, who follows up with the pin for the win.

“The Glamour” Mariah May (c) vs. Willow Nightingale
The pre-match video package sets the stage for our second pay-per-view bout of the evening, which features a world title on-the-line. Willow Nightingale makes her way to the ring first, followed by reigning and defending AEW Women’s Champion “The Glamour” Mariah May.
The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with our first world title bout for AEW this evening. The two lock up and Nightingale hits a hip-toss for the first offense in the match. May fights back, sending Nightingale to the corner once more, but Willow cartwheels out of the way. Mariah attacks her on the rope, but Nightingale takes control and sends the champ into the turnbuckles.

May follows up with a chin-lock, but Willow starts fighting back to her feet before the champ drives her down hard. Mariah follows up with a series of right hands, but the challenger fights back by biting the champ’s head.
This forces May to retreat quickly, before bringing Willow to her feet and to the ropes, but Nightingale sends her down to the canvas by her blond locks. Nightingale is in control now as she continues the attack, culminating in a big powerbomb for a near-fall. Mariah fights back with a German suplex, but Willow kicks out this time.

May gets back into a comfortable offensive lead again. Nightingale avoids Storm Zero and tried another Pounce, but this time May hit a headbutt. May hits a Doctor Bomb. Both end up down and Nightingale gets up first. She lands with a big boot and a violent running DVD to the corner for a super close two-count.

TNT Championship
“The Scapegoat” Jack Perry (c) vs. Katsuyori Shibata
After the women’s world title bout wraps up, we gear up for our next match, which again features championship gold on-the-line. Katsuyori Shibata makes his way to the red with his trademark towel. He settles inside the squared circle and awaits the champ.
“The Scapegoat” Jack Perry heads out and the TNT Champion is ready for his latest defense. The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with this one. Perry and Shibata lock up to get things started. Perry gets the early offensive advantage, sending Shibata into the corner and working him over.
Shibata fights back with a bunch of chops as the crowd comes to life. The two go at it before Shibata sends the champ to the corner for some more chops, but Perry evades a running dropkick to escape to the ring. This turns out to be a mistake however, as Shibata leaves the ring to hit him with a snap suplex against the apron.
When the action resumes in the ring, Shibata hits a few forearm strikes before connecting with a running dropkick in the corner. He sends Perry down with a snap suplex for a nearfall, rising to his feet to hit a few Kawata kicks on the champion. Perry heads to the corner, but is brought back to the center by Shibata. Perry catches him with a Snare Trap.
Shibata is able to escape, but the champ takes him down with a DDT before going to the corner. Shibata evades the knee, cinching in a sleeper hold on Jack instead. Perry is struggling to escape the hold and instead, gets Shibata’s shoulders onto the canvas. Shibata doesn’t quite realize his shoulders were down as he keeps the hold locked in, and as a result Perry pins Shibata.
The crowd was not happy about that. The ref confirms it after conferring with Shibata. Perry gets back up and blasts Shibata, before Daniel Garcia comes down for the save. MJF makes his way out to confront Garcia now. Perry catches Garcia by surprise and runs off with his title.
MJF goes after Garcia now, laying into him with some punches before grabbing a mic from ringside to mock him. He runs Garcia down for his “bidding war” before mocking the crowd. He says he’s glad Garcia said the Dynamite Diamond Ring was pawned off at a shop in Buffalo. He says he ended up finding it and vows to make him kiss it. Adam Cole’s theme hits out of nowhere and the crowd goes wild. He runs out to make the save, sending MJF to the back and helping Garcia up.
Winner and STILL TNT Champion: Jack Perry
