Here is your post-AEW fight size update for Wednesday, January 5, 2022.
- The TBS era of Dynamite kicked off with a World Title clash between Hangman Adam Page and Bryan Danielson. The two men fought to a 60-minute time limit draw the first time around and brought judges with them this time to ensure the same thing couldn't happen. Regardless, they were not needed as Hangman was able to pin Bryan after a Buckshot Lariat just over 30 minutes into the bout.
