Ring of Honor World Championship Match: Claudio Castagnoli vs Chris Jericho
The first match of the 2022 edition of Dynamite Grand Slam set the tone for the rest of the night. Claudio Castagnoli and Chris Jericho entertained the crowd with their hard-fought bout. The high-stakes match evolved into a back-and-forth battle and there was little to choose between the two wrestlers. The most terrific sequence of the match was when Jericho tried to execute the Frankensteiner off the top rope but Claudio sought to reverse it into a powerbomb, which Jericho again reversed into the Frankensteiner. Ultimately Jericho landed a low blow kick and Judas Effect to win the match.

This was one of the most anticipated matches of the night. The bout saw Swerve Strickland and Keith Lee defend their AEW World Tag Team Championship against The Acclaimed’s Max Caster and Anthony Bowens. The AEW World Tag Team Champions dominated the proceedings in the initial stages of the match. But lack of coordination between Strickland and Lee, and some interference from Billy Gunn at ringside, resulted in The Acclaimed winning the match.
AEW All-Atlantic Championship Match: Pac vs Orange Cassidy
Cassidy started off well in the match. Cassidy threw his sunglasses at PAC and managed to get a few early takedowns. But PAC fought his way back into the match. After the initial exchange of blows, Cassidy started to build momentum. To counter Cassidy, a desperate PAC hit Cassidy with the timekeeper’s hammer and scored the tainted victory.
