Cody, outside the ring, attempted to headbutt Jungle Boy twice but he ended up connecting with a wall, causing the champ to bleed. Jungle Boy took advantage of the situation and attacked Cody's head.

Jungle Boy and Cody eventually found themselves fighting on the top turnbuckle, right above a table that had been set up ringside. The competitors crashed through the table together.

Cody, back inside the ring, was able to recover and nail Jungle boy with the CrossRhodes to earn the three count. Cody embraced Jungle Boy afterwards with the pair giving each other a hug and a handshake.

Also on Dynamite, AEW World Tag Team Champions Kenny Omega and Hangman Adam Page defended their titles against Kip Sabian and Jimmy Havoc. Sabian was accompanied to the ring by his fiancee Penelope Ford.

Ford attempted to attack Page and jumped off the top rope but Page stopped her. The referee then decided to eject Ford from the ringside area. Havoc used the referee being distracted to attack Omega and Page with a ring wrench.

Page and Omega won the hard-hitting match after delivering The Last Call to Havoc for the three count. The Last Call is a combination of Page's Buckshot Lariat and Omega's V-Trigger.

Chris Jericho was in action against Colt Cabana. Jericho was joined by Inner Circle Members Jake Hager and Sammy Guevara.

Cabana was in control of the bout until Hager got involved to smash Cabana's head into the top turnbuckle. Cabana would recover and continue to attack Le Champion and was even able to escape from Jericho's Lion Tamer submission hold.

Jericho won after hitting Cabana with the Judas Effect for the three count. Jericho, following his altercation with Mike Tyson last week, called out the boxing great to confront him in the ring.
