Headlining AEW’s St. Patrick’s Day Slam edition of Dynamite was Thunder Rosa versus Britt Baker in an Unsanctioned Lights Out match. There were tables, chairs, ladders, thumbtacks and blood in their bout and in the end, it was Rosa picking up the win and she’ll be heading into her match against Kamille at NWA’s Back for the Attack pay-per-view with a W.

MJF’s new faction consisting of Wardlow, FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler), Tully Blanchard and Shawn Spears are now known as ‘The Pinnacle’.

During an interview segment with Tony Schiavone, TNT Champion Darby Allin stated that he wants to pay tribute to the greatest TNT Champion of all-time, Brodie Lee. To do that, he wants to defend the title against a member of Dark Order next week and the group selected John Silver for the honors. Within that same segment, Lance Archer interrupted and confronted both Darby and Sting. Following up on Archer’s appearance was Team Taz (Taz, Brian Cage, Ricky Starks, Powerhouse Hobbs & Hook). Cage gave props to Sting, much to the chagrin of Team Taz.

Eddie Kingston and Jon Moxley defeated The Good Brothers (Doc Gallows & Karl Anderson) on Dynamite. Immediately after their loss, Gallows, Anderson and Kenny Omega ambushed Moxley and Kingston. The Young Bucks came to the ring before the assault continued and they refused to ‘Too Sweet’ their former Bullet Club members.

Don Callis debuted a new t-shirt on Dynamite which was a spin on the ‘leg slapping’ ban that WWE has instituted. That policy was first noted in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

Matt Sydal is taking on AEW World Champion Kenny Omega on next week’s Dynamite. If Sydal wins, he’ll get a future AEW World Title shot.

During a backstage segment with Miro and Kip Sabian, they were discussing Penelope Ford being inadvertently knocked off the ring apron by Miro at Revolution. Miro stated that while they are in the ring, he doesn’t care about Penelope and said the worst thing Kip can do is have his wife at ringside.

Scheduled for the 3/24 show is Nyla Rose versus Tay Conti along with FTR and Shawn Spears versus Varsity Blonds (Griff Garrison & Brian Pillman Jr.) and Dante Martin of Top Flight.
