All Things All Elite: February 24th, 2021

New signings, new shows and new stories all await you before tonight’s episode of Dynamite!

February 24, 2021

Greetings, All Elite Wrestling buddies! This week, we had some important Hangman Page and Dark Order news on BTE! We also have the rationale behind the Cutler/Hager match for this week. AEW Dark didn’t have anything of consequence, but all the matches in the women’s tournament were absolutely amazing. And as always, there were a couple fun tweets and other shenanigans happening on social media. So check it all out, and enjoy Dynamite tonight!

Being The Elite

The Bucks ask what took the Good Brothers so long to come rescue them last week on Dynamite. The Good Brothers then say that they needed to just masturbate really quick before running in, thus why they were late.
Allie poisons Cutler’s coffee when he isn’t looking. He goes to take a sip when Braxton Sutter unwittingly calls Brandon to go do something. Allie gets frustrated at Braxton.

Matt Hardy and Isiah Kassidy are talking about how great they are for having beaten up Hangman. Matt Hardy says he’s going to destroy Page at Revolution. Matt then asks Mike Posey if he’s seen TH2 anywhere, and offers to represent him even though he’s just a ref.
Kassidy and Matt Hardy approach TH2 and give them the money he promised them for beating up Hangman. He also offers them TH2 a contract with him.
The Young Bucks talk to Cutler and say thanks for always having their back. They offer Cutler a match against Jack Hager. Cutler is excited to have a match on Dynamite, saying he’s worked his butt off and he has earned it. Cutler then walks off. The Young Bucks then say to each other that he didn’t earn this match at all, it’s just pure nepotism”

The Dark Order talk about how great a job they did when they saved Hangman and how they looked like total hunks. They then all talk about how hot Hangman is. They then go on and on about how hot Hangman is for a good minute or two. They decide that he’s so hot that “Hangman f*cks” (obviously a reversal of their previous chant months ago of “f*ck Hangman”).
Hangman comes into the Dark Order club and Evil Uno says “what if you don’t have to join, but we just are friends,” and Hangman accepts. All of them have a great time chanting and cheering.
Sammy Guevara lays naked with nothing covering him but the BTE belt. He says he didn’t feel like going to Dynamite but has been told to defend his title. He says that on his vlog he will defend the title against his mom.

AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator Tournament

Nyla Rose def. Tay Conti. Nyla was able to throw her weight around as was expected. She had control of the match for most of the time, keeping things slow and methodical. At one point Aubrey was distracted and Tay got a surprise roll up on Nyla for more than a 3 count, but of course Aubrey missed it.
Yuka Sakazaki def. Emi Sakura. Control bounced back and forth between the two women. Sakura got in an impressive cross body and then her minions attacked Sakazaki when the ref wasn’t looking, which led to her dominating the match. Toward the end, a long, great sequence of counters resulted in Sakazaki winning with a crucifix pin. Sakura’s minions went to beat Yuka but Shida came out to defend Yuka.
Ryo Mizunami def. Aja Kong. This was extremely even pretty much the entire match. Mizunami did a lot of damage to Kong’s leg which troubled Kong for the entire match. Toward the end, Kong threw a small trash bin to Shida who instinctively caught it, then Kong rammed Ryo head first into it. Despite this, Ryo was able to pull off a leg drop to Kong outside the ring then get back in to win by count out.

Britt Baker def. Madi Wrenkowski. Excalibur mentioned that Madi is one of Thunder Rosa’s students. Britt attacked Madi during Madi’s entrance. Britt had the upper hand most the time, but when Madi did have control she went after Britt’s nose since she had broken it last year. Her concern for her nose exposed a fair amount of weakness, but Britt was still the better wrestler, coming out with the win. She beat down Madi after to send a message to Thunder Rosa.
