This week's AEW Dynamite ended in insane fashion as Trent, Chuck Taylor, Santana and Ortiz battled in a Parking Lot Fight outside of Daily's Place Amphitheater in Jacksonville. The match saw the two teams batter each other with all manner of weaponry and tossed each other into the cars that surrounded them. The final sequence saw Orange Cassidy pop out of a trunk and nail Santana with an Orange Punch while his fist was wrapped in a chain. Taylor then grabbed Santana and piledrived him on the hood of a car, while Trent hit Ortiz with Strong Zero through a wooden board onto the bed of a pickup truck for the win.

The match was widely praised online afterward. One of the most glowing reviews came from the Hardcore Legend himself, Mick Foley.

Foley admitted that he always wanted to have a massive match in a Parking Lot during his career and recalled trying to pitch one with Vader back when the two were in WCW. But he said he'd have a hard time trying to come up with something better than what those four men did.

AEW president Tony Khan took to Twitter after the show to state the fight was one of Dynamite's best matches from its first year on television.
