AEW Dynamite #217

Minneapolis, Minnesota - Target Center, November 28, 2023 - All Elite Wrestling's latest offering was a thrill ride of a show, with six matches that left the sold-out crowd of 4,648 in raptures.

The evening got underway with a Continental Classic Gold League Match pitting Jon Moxley against Jay Lethal. The result was never in doubt, as Moxley's sheer strength and cunning proved too much for his opponent. A thunderous Paradigm Shift sealed the deal, Moxley emerging victorious after 11 minutes and 19 seconds of action.

Next up were Rush and Mark Briscoe, another pair of combatants vying for Continental Classic Gold League supremacy. The match was a technical showcase, with both men trading holds and near-falls aplenty. In the end, it was Rush's agility and aerial prowess that gave him the edge, the winner taking just 11 minutes and 25 seconds to dispatch his opponent.

Wardlow made short work of AR Fox in their singles encounter, finishing off the plucky underdog with a devastating Powerbomb at the 3 minute and 13 second mark. The victory was a testament to Wardlow's dominant force, even if it was tempered by Fox's impressive resilience.

The six-man tag team match that followed was an absolute barnburner. Action Andretti and Top Flight (Dante Martin and Darius Martin) took on Brother Zay and The Hardys (Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy), with the latter pairing seeking to prove their veteran mettle against a trio of up-and-comers. In the end, it was Andretti's cunning and the Martins' athleticism that proved the decisive factors, as they outmaneuvered and outmuscled their opponents en route to a 9 minute and 41 second victory.

The AEW TBS Title House Rules Match between Julia Hart and Emi Sakura was a wildly unpredictable affair. Both women brought their A-game, with Hart's technical prowess pitted against Sakura's unbridled aggression. In the end, it was Hart's cunning and adaptability that allowed her to outmaneuver Sakura, securing the win in 7 minutes and 36 seconds.

The main event saw Swerve Strickland face off against Jay White in a Continental Classic Gold League Match. The contest was a grueling, back-and-forth affair, with both men giving it their all as they battled for supremacy. In the end, it was Strickland's sheer determination and resilience that gave him the edge, as he outlasted White to take the win after 15 minutes and 27 seconds of action.

All in all, this was a show for the ages, with each match offering its own unique brand of excitement and drama. As AEW continues to grow and evolve, it's clear that their fans are in for a treat - and that this latest outing will be remembered as one for the books.
