| 0:00.0 | What is going on, everybody? It is another Wednesday night. I am the Sala Monster here with you, and tonight it was the maximum carnage episode of AEW Dynamite. It is actually a very busy night because there are moves being made. |
| 0:17.7 | So there will be some breaking news here during the stream in terms of talents that are jumping |
| 0:23.1 | from one place to another, which we will get into. But the main event tonight on Dynamite was |
| 0:31.1 | for the AEW World Championship. It was actually the first title defense for MJF, and it was against Bandito, the winner of the |
| 0:38.8 | Dynamite Diamond Battle Royal. As it turned out, the Dynamite Diamond Ring did not factor |
| 0:43.2 | into things at all tonight, which was actually kind of a surprise. Neither Diamond Ring, I think, |
| 0:49.8 | was even featured on the show, wasn't used during the match. MJF didn't make a play to take the diamond ring away from Bandito. |
| 0:57.9 | Nothing like that. |
| 0:59.3 | It was about the title. |
| 1:01.0 | And of course, I don't know that anybody honestly expected this to go any other way. |

| 1:12.6 | the match was over. |
| 1:14.4 | In fact, MJF beat Bandito Clean, which for MJF is kind of shocking. |
| 1:19.7 | We had Brody King come out when the match was over and MJF was attacking him to kind of chase |
| 1:24.0 | him off. |
| 1:25.2 | And that is the way that the show went off the air. Now, |
| 1:29.0 | we got a clean finish to what was a very good main event. I enjoyed that match a lot. Bandito was just |
| 1:35.9 | a fun performer to watch. MJF when he's in there, when he's in there most of the time. But you |
| 1:41.9 | put him in there with somebody like a bandito. |
| 1:49.4 | And look, MJF can more than hold his own. So I thought that was a very strong main event. |
| 2:01.8 | But again, I thought maybe they would shoot some kind of angle when the match was over, maybe to set up who that next challenger is going to be. And maybe they did. Maybe they did. Because we had, you know, Brody King come out to try to save his partner and save his friend. I can easily see that being a television main event one of these weeks for the world |
