AEW 'Dynamite' Results: What's Next After Brodie Lee's TNT Championship Win?

It's a new era for All Elite Wrestling as the upstart wrestling promotion will be allowing limited capacity fans on tonight's Dynamite.

This episode of Dynamite will have major implications for the All Out pay-per-view in early September starting with the tag team gauntlet match. AEW Tag Team Champions, Adam Page and Kenny Omega will take on one of these four tag teams at All Out: The Young Bucks, FTR, Best Friends and the Natural Nightmares.

Will we find out who is the better tag team between the Young Bucks and FTR? Or will we have to wait until All Out to find out?

Matt Hardy and Sammy Guevara will compete in the company's first Tables Match tonight. Guevara has been the thorn in Hardy's side since his return a few weeks back, but can Hardy topple the young upstart?

AEW World Champion Jon Moxley is invited to a contract signing with MJF for their title match at All Out. MJF wants to ban Moxley's finisher, the Paradigm Shift for their match but will the champ agree?

Britt Baker is finally returning to action from injury tonight when she teams up with Penelope Ford to take on Big Swole. Can Swole get her revenge on Baker and how will "The Doctor" fare in her first match in months?

In more tag team action, The Lucha Bros and Butcher and the Blade will team up to take on Brian Pillman Jr., Sonny Kiss, Joey Janela and Griff Garrison. Now that Eddie Kingston has returned to AEW to make sure the heels are on the same page, is this the start of a new faction?

Brodie Lee shocked the wrestling world when he defeated Cody to become the second TNT Champion. What will the leader of The Dark Order do with the title and what does it mean for the rest of AEW?

Here's everything that happened on the August 27 episode of AEW Dynamite.

MJF and Jon Moxley Contract Signing

  • MJF runs down Moxley's age and ability. He says that he is a wrestling prodigy and he will decimate Moxley. He says Moxley isn't a wrestler and calls him a "goon."
  • MJF calls Moxley a garbage wrestler like New Jack and other comparable wrestlers. He calls himself a wrestler like the Buddy Rogers and Tully Blanchards of the world and that Moxley can't win without the Paradigm Shift.
  • Moxley asks if he should sign this contract. Does he need the Paradigm Shift to beat MJF? No. He says by taking away his most dangerous weapon he's forcing him to be creative. Moxley says that he'll sign the contract, but to remember that nothing MJF says doesn't matter and that this contract doesn't matter and at All Out, MJF is a "dead man"
  • After Moxley signs it, MJF and his team laugh. Moxley says that he's happy they let him add a page to the contract. Next week, he'll take on MJF's lawyer in a tune up match and if he doesn't show up, MJF doesn't get his title shot at All Out.

  • Lee says that back last year, everyone made fun of The Dark Order and he wasn't in AEW he was in "prison" because of the people. Lee says that there will be no open challenge, no more indie wrestlers getting tv time on TNT and Cody will never get his title back. Lee introduces Anna Jay as 99.
  • Dustin and QT Marshall come out to attack The Dark Order, but the group beat the Nightmare Family down. Scorpio Sky then comes out and clears the ring and stands up to Brodie Lee.
