The latest edition of AEW Dynamite for August 22, 2020 took place at Daily's Place in Jacksonville, Florida. It was a pretaped episode that had had some spoilers leaked out, but some of those spoilers were proven to be wrong. Oddly enough, some of them were dead on.
Here is a recap of the most noteworthy highlights from this episode for those who might have missed it:
— FTR (Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood) defeated Private Party (Isiah Kassidy and Marq Quen) by pinfall. FTR now has Tully Blanchard in their corner.
— Jon Moxley cut a promo about how MJF is talented, but while he wants MJF to be right in that he's the man to lead the company for the next 25 years, that's not starting on September 5th. MJF cut a promo about how the Paradigm Shift needs to be banned.
