Renee Paquette welcomes us on AEW Dynamite

The former WWE personality opened the show and welcomed fans. She then introduced Canada's Christian Cage. Captain Charisma came out to a massive ovation from the Toronto crowd.
Cage vowed to win on tonight's AEW Dynamite before taking a few shots at Toronto Maple Leafs. He then brought out his 'right hand of destruction' Luchasuarus as we headed for the night's first match. A fired-up Jungle Boy also made his entrance shortly after.

Christian Cage's Right Hand of Destruction, @Luchasaurus, is ready for war against former tag team partner ‘Jungle Boy’ Jack Perry! Tune in to #AEWDynamite LIVE on @TBSNetwork right now! https://t.co/Q2YbAdOnxt
Jungle Boy charged at Luchasaurus in the corner to start things off. But the latter overpowered him in no time. Luchasaurus sent Jack Perry outside and readied the tables with something sinister on his mind. Perry then wrenched his former partner's arm against the steel post.
Luchasaurus sent Perry into the guardrail to gain the advantage and continued the momentum with some stomps in the corner. Jungle Boy came back by putting the giant through a table with a sunset powerbomb. Christian Cage came down from commentary to run a distraction, which worked in Luchasaurus' favor, leading to a two-count.
Luchasaurus went to the top turnbuckle, but Jungle Boy unloaded with heavy strikes. Luchasaurus caught his former partner and hit a chokeslam for another two-count. He went for a fireman's carry, but Jungle Boy countered it and hit a Crucifix Bomb for a two-count.
Towards the end of the match, Jungle Boy had the Snare Trap locked in, but Cage distracted him. This allowed Luchasaurus to recover, and he hit the Cut Throat to pick up the victory.
Devastatingly, @luchasaurus defeats @boy_myth_legend, as @Christian4Peeps smirks approvingly. #AEWDynamite is LIVE on @TBSNetwork! https://t.co/9unpluIZz2

QT Marshall tried to mock Wardlow and Samoa Joe's team names before the babyface duo made their appearances. Joe and Wardlow took out Aaron Solo before the bell even rang.
As the match started, Joe battled with Marshall in the ring, as Wardlow took care of Nick Comoroto outside. The latter entered the squared circle but ran straight into a chop from The Samoan Submission Machine.
Marshall went for a big move on Samoa Joe, but the latter evaded him by sidestepping his opponent. Wardlow was tagged in, and he hit a headbutt on Marshall. Nick Comoroto tagged in, and Mr. Mayhem hit a lariat and followed it up with a belly-to-belly suplex.
Samoa Joe was tagged back in as Wardlow went to the top rope and applied a senton on Nick Comoroto. Joe then applied Coquina Clutch to pick up the victory.

Post-match, The Acclaimed came out to check on Billy Gunn. Mark Sterling interrupted them and said he owned the trademark for 'Scissor Me' in pro wrestling, and The Acclaimed can't use it anymore.
Guess he wasn’t lying

Moreover, he threatened to take legal action against the AEW Tag Team Champions before the segment ended.
Casino Ladder match winner and self-proclaimed Devil @The_MJF did a lot of self-reflection after last week's loss against @WheelerYuta claiming to have no choice but to be the bad guy.

Jon Moxley and Hangman Page segment on AEW Dynamite
#AEW World Champion @JonMoxley is HERE in Toronto, Canada! Watch #AEWDynamite LIVE on @TBSNetwork right now! https://t.co/6IjHkaYTu4
Tony Schiavone introduced AEW World World Champion, Jon Moxley. The Purveyor of Violence said it was good to be in Canada after three years. He then added that being a world champion is a dirty job, but he has had the better of multiple opponents.
Hangman Page came out at this point. He thanked Moxley for his kind words on last week's show before praising him for being a fantastic father, husband, and champion. However, Page said he had issues with Moxley calling him a "kid."
Moxley retaliated by saying that Page isn't the same as 20 years ago, and he doesn't have the ruthless steak anymore. Hangman Page then delivered a fired-up promo about him being a father, husband, and 31-year-old man. He added that he had lost all his friends and he'll take the fight to Jon Moxley next week.
Cowboy S**t indeed.
#Hangman @theadampage knows what he has to do next week in Cincinnati! It's #AEWDynamite LIVE on @TBSNetwork right now! https://t.co/aJQEh7Nisn
He then took a shot at MJF before the segment ended.

The action then spilled outside as Jericho dropped Danielson on the guardrail. He then went to the top rope, but Danielson stopped him in his tracks.

However, Jericho rolled him up for a two-count.
