#3 Former Inner Circle member reunites with Chris Jericho
At the end of the "Hair vs. Hair" match between Chris Jericho vs. Ortiz, controversy struck when Fuego Del Sol hit the ring and attacked the Proud & Powerful member with a bat while the referee was distracted.
The action allowed Jericho to pick up the win and keep his hair intact. It was then revealed that former Inner Circle associate Sammy Guevara was under the mask, ultimately re-aligning with The Demo God.
#2 New AEW Tag Team Champions crowned on Dynamite
After The Hardys were pulled from the match earlier in the week, it came down to AEW Tag Team Champions Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus and The Young Bucks in the ladder match main event.
After a wild contest, Matt & Nick Jackson climbed the ladder and became the first-ever two-time AEW World Tag Team Champions in AEW history.
#1 Christian Cage turns heel on Jungle Boy
Oh no @Christian4Peeps!!! What are you doing?!?! We are all left speechless after that vicious attack on @boy_myth_legend by Christian Cage here on #AEWDynamite: #RoadRager on @TBSNetwork! https://t.co/1iGvK8CTtr
Once the Ladder match had concluded on Dynamite, Christian Cage went to assist Jungle Boy in the ring but instead grabbed him from behind and delivered an Unprettier in the middle of the ring.
Cage, who had been guiding Jungle Boy and Luchsaurus, ultimately turned heel before dishing out a tirade of abuse towards the 25-year-old's family sitting in the front row.
