Minutes before AEW Dynamite went live from the First Horizon Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina, fans inside the arena were hit with a blunt warning on the big screenand it set the tone for what turned out to be one of the most violent nights in company history.
Displayed above the ring in bold white letters was AEWs updated Fan Code of Conduct message:
This warning came just ten minutes before showtime, right as fans were settling in for the chaotic spectacle of not one, but two Blood and Guts matchesone for the men and one for the women.
For the mens side, The Death Riders took on Darby Allin, Mark Briscoe, Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong and Kyle OReilly inside the brutal double cage. And for the first time ever, AEW showcased a Womens Blood and Guts match, pitting Mercedes Mon, Megan Bayne, Marina Shafir and the Triangle of Madness against a stacked team of Kris Statlander, Toni Storm, Willow Nightingale, Mina Shirakawa, Jamie Hayter and Harley Cameron.
Adding to the nights brutality was a Falls Count Anywhere match featuring AEW World Champion Hangman Adam Page against Powerhouse Hobbs, just days before Page is set to defend the title at Full Gear against Samoa Joe.
The updated fan warning wasnt just for showit served as a real-time reminder that AEW isnt afraid to bring the action up close, even if it means shattering the barrier between performers and spectators. With such a violent card on deck, the pre-show caution felt less like a suggestion and more like a prelude to chaos.
