AEW Dynamite: Luchasaurus vs Wardlow
Wardlow vs Luchasaurus kicked off AEW Dynamite. Wardlow started the match in dominant fashion, the impact from his clothesline forcing Luchasaurus to roll out of the ring. Back in the ring, Wardlow hit a Spear in the corner and then tossed Luchasaurus out to the lumberjacks at ringside. The lumberjacks in the area piled on the big man but he broke free quite easily.
MJF made himself useful from ringside at this point. With Luchasaurus on the apron, MJF grabbed his ankle. This gave Wardlow the opening he needed to take back the initiative. He followed it with a German Suplex to Wardlow and followed it up with a superplex after more back and forth.
Luchasaurus hit back with a Spanish Fly before the action headed to the entrance ramp. Wardlow planted Luchasaurus on the ramp. As Jungle Boy checked on Luchasaurus, Wardlow tossed him into the lumberjacks. Marko Stunt also got involved and got thrown into the fan area.
When the action headed back into the ring, Luchasarus hit a chokeslam. Before he could capitalize, MJF had the referee distracted. Wardlow took his chance and hit the F-10 to Luchasaurus and pinned him.
