AEW Dynamite Results 6/12 - Two Titles On The Line, TNT Championship Ladder Match Qualifier & More

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results for "AEW Dynamite" on June 12, 2024, coming to you live from the Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa!

Before he challenges Swerve Strickland for the AEW World Championship at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, Will Ospreay will be defending the AEW International Championship as he goes one-on-one with Rey Fenix. Fenix defeated Kyle O'Reilly, Orange Cassidy, and Jay Lethal in a Four-Way Number One Contenders Match last week to earn a shot at Ospreay's title.

As she prepares to defend the TBS Championship against current NJPW STRONG Women's Champion Stephanie Vaquer in a Winner Take All Match at Forbidden Door, Mercedes Mone will have to temporarily refocus her sights tonight as she puts her title on the line against Vaquer's tag team partner Zeuxis. Vaquer and Zeuxis currently hold the CMLL World Women's Tag Team Championship together, defeating Lluvia and La Jarochita at CMLL's 90th Anniversary Show on September 16, 2023 to become the inaugural titleholders.

The next entrant into the Ladder Match at Forbidden Door to crown a new TNT Champion will be determined tonight, as Jack Perry of The Elite will be going head-to-head with Dustin Rhodes in a TNT Championship Ladder Match Qualifier. The winner of tonight's match will join Konosuke Takeshita and reigning Ring of Honor World Champion Mark Brisoe, who previously beat Penta El Zero Miedo and Brian Cage respectively to secure their spots in the bout.

Speaking of Takeshita and Briscoe, they will both be squaring off against one another in the ring in a huge trios match tonight as the former joins forces with his Don Callis Family stablemate Kyle Fletcher and Roderick Strong and the latter teams up with the aforementioned Cassidy and O'Reilly.

Additionally, "TV Time With The Learning Tree Chris Jericho" will be making its return tonight as FTW Champion Chris Jericho hosts Isiah Kassidy and Marq Quen of Private Party after encountering one another backstage last week. Rush will also be returning to action for the first time since defeating the aforementioned Kassidy on the May 24 edition of "AEW Rampage" against an opponent who has yet to be named.

We are live! Excalibur, Tony Schiavone, and Taz greet audiences at home as Swerve Strickland and Prince Nana make their way down to the ring.

Strickland says Forbidden Door is right around the corner, then addresses Will Ospreay challenging him for the AEW World Championship. He says the match will be two of the biggest stars of this generation will be colliding, and one killer will be competing in the match. He says he told Ospreay ten years ago, he'd be unstoppable when he developed his killer instinct. He says he saw an assassin get the job done in his match against Kenny Omega last year at Forbidden Door, as was the case against Konosuke Takeshita and Bryan Danielson at AEW Revolution and AEW Dynasty. Strickland says he didn't see that instinct at AEW Double or Nothing, and says he needs to have that instinct to dethrone him. He credits Ospreay with being a fighting champion unlike the AEW World Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks.

The Elite appear on the ramp, and Kazuchika Okada asks the crowd whose house it is. He says it's his house, and Nicholas Jackson says they're at ringside to take care of some business. He says before they address that, they want to talk about how dominant they've been as a group. He rattles off some of The Elite's accomplishments, then says despite all of that, they keep getting trolled online by fans and underestimated by roster members in the back. He then says The Elite challenges AEW's best in a Blood & Guts Match.

Matthew Jackson informs Strickland that while they don't love what he's said about them, they like his style. He says that Strickland is young and a champion like them, then invites him to be the fifth member of The Elite's Blood & Guts team. Matthew then presents Strickland with a pair of The Young Bucks' sneakers as a present, and Strickland takes them. He then tells The Elite they got his shoe size wrong, then says no one wears pearl necklaces anymore. He says he's a businessman who does his own stuff, then has Nana toss The Young Bucks' sneakers into the crowd.

Matthew says there's something making a buzz sound, then says it's the injury bug about to bite Strickland. Strickland prepares to fight The Elite alone, but The Acclaimed and Billy Gunn run down to the ring to even the odds. The Elite slide out of the ring, and Christopher Daniels appears on the ramp. He tells everyone at ringside to head to the back except for Jack Perry, who will be having his TNT Championship Ladder Match Qualifier against Dustin Rhodes up next. Rhodes then makes his way down to the ring.

The bell rings and Rhdes fires off right hands on Perry. He connects with a chop on him, but Perry responds with a few strikes of his own. Rhodes lands a lariat before Perry exposes the middle turnbuckle and sends Rhodes crashing out of the ring. Rhodes gets Perry up on his shoulders, but Perry escapes and sends Rhodes crashing into the ring post and the ring steps. He then exposes the concrete, but Rhodes connects with a back body drop on Perry on top of the concrete.

Back from the break, Perry has a chair in hand, but the referee confiscates it from him. Perry jams his knee into the back of Rhodes' neck, but Rhodes catches him with a powerslam and follows it up with a bulldog. He rains down right hands on Perry in the corner, then grabs the chair in the ring. The referee disposes of the chair, and Rhodes low blows Perry in the corner while she's distracted. Rhodes then delivers The Bionic Elbow to Perry and connects with Cross-Rhodes before he goes for a pin. Perry kicks out.

Perry delivers a knee to Rhodes' midsection, then sends him crashing into the exposed middle turnbuckle and looks to pin him. Rhodes rolls out of the ring before he can, and Perry follows him out there. He delivers a DDT to him on the exposed concrete, and Perry gets back in the ring. The referee begins a ten count, but Rhodes beats it. While the referee is looking away, Perry delivers a low blow to Rhodes. Rhodes flips Perry off, but Perry brushes it off and delivers a running knee for the win.

He gets Rusman back inside the ring, then delivers a couple more chops on him in the corner and fires off stomps. He then connects with the Bull's Horns for the win.

Winner: Rush

After Rush defeats Rusman, he grabs a mic and steps on top of Rusman. He calls him a typical and weak American, then sets him up in the corner and looks to land the Bull's Horns on him for a second time. Before he can, MJF's music hits and he runs down to the ring and begins brawling with Rush. The referee calls for officials to separate the two men, and security runs down. Rush and MJF fight them all off, and the two continue brawling. MJF sends Rush crashing over the barricade and into the crowd, and officials chase after then as they continue to try and separate them. MJF fires off right hand on Rush, and Rush lands a few of his own. MJF drags Rush through the crowd and to the back. Rush sends MJF crashing into a road case, then throws a bucket at him and sends his face bouncing off a table. MJF then sends Rush crashing through the table, and Rush grabs a garbage can. He tosses it at Rush before officials and members of the locker room finally separate the two men.
