AEW Dynamite Results, Winners, Live Grades, Highlights and Tribute to Pac Reaction

All Out took place a few days ago, on Sept. 26, and while there was some focus on the show's fallout, something else took precedence this week.

Sunday, fans and wrestlers around the world were shocked and saddened when the news of Pac's death broke.

Fans and wrestlers alike have shared tributes, and Wednesday's episode of Dynamite was dedicated to his memory. Tony Khan also booked a special match between Will Ospreay and Ricochet, two of Pac's most talented rivals.

It's been a sad few weeks in the wrestling world with the passing of Andy "The Butcher" Williams and now Benjamin "Pac" Satterley, but their legacies will live on forever.

Let's take a look at what went down on this week's Dynamite.

Rest in Peace, Benjamin Satterly

The show opened with Excalibur giving a speech about Pac from the announce table as the crowd chanted Pac's name. We then went to Tony Schiavone in the ring with a framed picture of Pac next to a huge memorial bouquet.

Schiavone talked about the example Pac set for the locker room and the impression he left on everyone at AEW. He said this week's episode is for him.

He then threw to a moment from All Out with Jon Moxley that ended up being the final thing Pac filmed for the company. It was a promo from Mox focused on Will Ospreay, but the words were strangely relevant. Pac was the last of the group to walk off screen.

Schiavone asked for silence during a 10-bell salute. The entire roster stood on the stage wearing Pac shirts. Many of them were crying or close to it. Moxley then made his way to the ring for the first match.

Jon Moxley vs. Orange Cassidy

The opening contest saw Moxley put his Continental Championship on the line against Orange Cassidy. OC had a very memorable match against Pac some time ago at Revolution 2020, and Mox's ties to Pac are obvious.

As Mox and OC started to feel each other out with some lockups, the announcers talked about the mood backstage throughout the day and how everyone is trying to live up to Pac's work ethic.

Despite Moxley's clear size and power advantage, they worked it like a competitive match with a lot of technical wrestling.

We all know how good Mox is, and we all know how good OC is, too. They might have very different styles, but both are pros who can adapt, so a good match is hardly surprising.

At a time when everyone is sad, Moxley and Cassidy managed to inject some humor into the match and get the crowd in the right mindset. They knew the assignment and delivered in every way.

There's really nothing to complain about with this. It was good, solid wrestling that entertained the crowd and made both wrestlers look strong. You can't ask for much more from a match. Mox scored a clean win, and when it was over, he sat in the ring and looked very emotional.

That is when Bryan Danielson's music hit. The American Dragon came out wearing a Pac shirt and stood across the ring from Moxley. They embraced as the crowd cheered.

Result: Moxley defeated Cassidy

Grade: A

Notable Moments and Observations

• It's worth noting that Mox and OC have the most singles wins of anyone in AEW, with Mox edging out OC in the stats.
• The exchange of near-falls was good. It didn't feel excessive, like that spot can sometimes.
• The crowd was clearly sad but still tried to bring some energy to make the show fun. It's a tough thing to do in this situation, but the fans did a good job making sure the show felt like something Pac would enjoy.
• Mox mocking OC's weak kicks was hilarious.
• Mox trying to use Pac's Brutalizer, and then OC doing the same thing, was a nice touch.

The Elite vs. Don Callis Family

Pac may not have been a member of The Elite, but he was a Day One AEW talent who helped put the company on the map, so it feels appropriate that The Elite reunited to honor him with an eight-man tag match.

Kenny Omega, Adam Page, Nick and Matt Jackson battled Kevin Knight, Kyle Fletcher, Rocky Romero and Trent Beretta.

The DCF attacked The Elite right after the bell to get an early advantage. They treated it like any other match, which was honestly the right call. The crowd needs heels to boo, and the DCF fits the bill perfectly.

This match was designed to give the crowd a feel-good moment. The Elite reuniting feels important, and giving them a competitive but easy win over another quartet was a slam-dunk decision.

This was a fun eight-man match that ended when Omega hit Trent with the One-Winged Angel for the win.

Result: The Elite defeated Don Callis Family

Grade: B+

Notable Moments and Observations

• Hangman's speech about Pac before the match was heart-wrenching. You can tell he really loved Pac. He couldn't even finish speaking because he was crying so much. He and Pac had one of AEW's first feuds.
• Romero plays such a good stooge heel. He knows exactly what to do to make the babyfaces look good.
• The four-way dive from The Elite was a great moment.
• After the match, we saw emotional speeches about Pac from Cash Wheeler and Jay White.

Ricochet vs. Will Ospreay

Swerve Strickland, Austin Creed and Kofi came to the ring. Creed cried as they held up their trios titles, then laid them in the ring with one of Pac's towels.

Next up, Ricochet took on Ospreay in singles action. Both of these men have a lot of history with Pac, so this was the first match announced for the card.

With Pac widely regarded as one of the best high-flyers in the world, putting two more men in the same category in the ring together felt like the perfect way to pay tribute to him.

Ricochet and Ospreay shared a moment before the match and hugged before the bell rang and things got started. Will tried to hype up the crowd before they locked up.

Much like OC and Mox earlier in the night, there is almost no point in telling you how good Ospreay and Ricochet are because it goes without saying. They could produce a show-stealing match while putting in half their usual effort, so seeing them try their best to honor their friend made this even better.

These two pulled out every trick to make this an exciting showdown. Ospreay used Pac's Black Arrow to score the win. Ospreay broke down in tears after the match.

Result: Ospreay defeated Ricochet

Grade: A

Notable Moments and Observations

• Renee Paquette read a statement from Pac's family. It was another very emotional moment.
• Ricochet shared memories of living with Pac early in their careers.
• Ricochet did a good job playing his usual heel self once the match got going.
• Ricochet sold a DDT the same way Pac used to do it.
• Ricochet's middle-rope Phoenix Splash referenced Pac. He used that move as a finisher for a while.
• After the match, we got a pre-recorded video from Ospreay talking about Pac.

Mercedes Mone, Persephone and Britt Baker vs. Hyan, Thunder Rosa and Marina Shafir

A women's trios bout took place this week with Mercedes Mone, Persephone and Britt Baker taking on Hyan, Thunder Rosa and Marina Shafir.

This show took place in Britt's hometown of Pittsburgh, but with Shafir being an ally of Pac's it blurred the lines between heels and babyfaces quite a bit.

You could tell Shafir was emotional during her entrance, but she did a good job keeping her mean face on.

These six women each have their own style, so it took them a while to get used to each other, but for the most part, everyone delivered a solid performance.

Much of this match was booked around giving Shafir a few special moments. She played a convincing badass who no-sold a lot of offense from her opponents.

Shafir won with Pac's Brutalizer submission. She looked very emotional as she celebrated the win.

Result: Shafir, Hyan and Rosa won

Grade: B

Notable Moments and Observations

• Marina wore a football/soccer jersey to the ring that Pac had given her.
• Baker and Rosa always hit each other harder than they hit anyone else, and it's great.

10-Man Tag Match

Jake Doyle, Mark Davis, Lance Archer, Josh Alexander and a returning Wardlow wrestled in the main event against Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia, Claudio Castagnoli, Gabe Kidd and Danielson, who shocked the entire arena when he came out dressed to wrestle.

Having Danielson there added something special to this main event. Wardlow's return was cool, too, but many fans never expected to see Danielson wrestle again, so this felt like a rare treat.

10-man tag matches are usually chaotic by design. You want to give everyone a little time in the ring, but you don't want the match to take forever, so finding that balance can be tricky.

These 10 men are all capable performers who played their parts well. The DCF was there to put up a good fight but ultimately lose, and that is exactly what happened.

This was an enjoyable and energetic main event with several standout moments. Garcia secured the pin on Doyle to win.

Result: The Death Riders defeated Don Callis Family

Grade: B+

Notable Moments and Observations

• Swerve and Darby Allin gave speeches talking about Pac.
• Danielson looked like he might have borrowed someone else's gear. It wasn't his usual branded gear.
• Moxley was hilarious on commentary, especially when he was talking about Danielson.
• Yuta and Danielson doing a double-team spot is something we never expected to see.

The Final Word

What more can be said about Pac? He was a one-of-a-kind talent and will be greatly missed.

AEW already had two emotional episodes recently with Rebel Hearts and the tribute to Andy Williams, so having to come together as a fandom and mourn the loss of another beloved star was extra hard.

Everyone showed up tonight and put together a show that would make Pac proud. We saw some incredible action, emotional moments and shed some tears along the way.

Whether it's Dragon Gate, WWE, AEW, or any of the number of indies he worked for, go watch some Pac matches and remember him for the incredibly talented person he was.

Based on everything we heard from AEW talent tonight, he was an even better man outside the ring. We'll miss you, Ben.
