After @MATTHARDY fell short in his bout with @PENTAELZEROM on #AEWDynamite, @AndradeElIdolo offers some words of encouragement and an interesting offer to the leader of the #HFO… How will @MATTHARDY respond, and what could possibly come of this collaboration? pic.twitter.com/d41Dkk28Nk

Matt Hardy vs. Penta El Zero MiedoNow we’re back in the arena where “Big Money” Matt Hardy is already in the ring with a microphone. The camera pans over to show Reby Hardy and Matt’s children in the front row. Hardy talks about being in his hometown of North Carolina and then addresses Rey Fenix being injured.

Out comes Penta El Zero Miedo and one-half of The Lucha Bros makes his way to the ring accompanied by Alex Abrahantes. The former tag-team champion will be going one-on-one against the leader of The Hardy Family Office in our next in-ring showdown here on Dynamite.

The bell sounds and we’re off-and-running with this one. Penta and Hardy start things off by not fighting each other, but instead fighting for crowd support. Penta leads the fans in a chant in his favor while Hardy leads his hometown fans in a “DELETE!” chant to respond each time. This goes back-and-forth so many times that the commentary crew brings up how this one only has a 20-minute time-limit.

Finally they start mixing it up and getting after it, and as Penta establishes the early offensive control, we are led into a mid-match, picture-in-picture commercial break as the match continues. As we return from the break, we see the action in progress in the ring with Hardy in control.

Hardy takes Penta up to the top-rope and climbs up after him. Penta escapes and returns to the mat and then sweeps Hardy’s legs out from under him. Hardy falls back in a modified tree of woe from the middle rope. Penta climbs back up and leaps off, connecting with a double stomp on the way down for a close near fall.

From there, the two battle out to the ring apron outside of the ring-ropes. Penta looks for a big spot there, however Hardy counters and connects with a side effect on what Jim Ross points out is the hardest part of the ring. Back in the ring, Penta ends up fighting back into the lead and hits his Fear Factor finisher for the pin fall victory.

Winner: Penta El Zero Miedo

Matt Hardy Needs A Change, Andrade El Idolo Proposes An OfferWhen we return from the break, we immediately shoot backstage where Tony Schiavone is standing by with Matt Hardy. Hardy, accompanied by Private Party and other members of The Hardy Family Office, talks about needing to make a change.

He continues to talk when up walks Andrade El Idolo. He tells Hardy to calm down. He then talks about liking money and says he has an offer to propose to Hardy. Hardy says not here and tells him they can go talk somewhere else about it now. They walk off to end the segment.
