Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for March 26, 2025

Kenny Omega beats Blake Christian. After the match, Omega says he does not always get to wrestle every week, but when he has the opportunity to St. Paul, Minnesota and make it quick, he will do it. He addresses his match at Dynasty, and when he mentions "Speedball" Mike Bailey, Speedball shows up and congratulates Omega before calling him an inspiration and stating that he not only respects him, but admires him as a wrestler, a person and a champion. He then warns that he will hold nothing back and will not pull his punches, and he will not hesitate to kick his head clean off and become International Champion. Before Omega can reply back, Ricochet shows up on the video screen. Ricochet says that as much as he would love to be at the arena to smack both of them in the head, he is at his wedding, which will be the best day of his life before he wins the International Championship at Dynasty. He then tells Omega and Speedball to argue over the inevitable before he wins the girl and the gold, then Omega addresses Speedball, saying it is not about making friends (as he has a cat) or how trash Ricochet is, he only has time for the International Championship. Omega calls Dynasty a stepping stone in his legacy, then he and Speedball have a staredown.

Backstage, we hear from The Learning Tree ("The Learning Tree" Chris Jericho, "The Redwood" Big Bill, "The Bad Apple" Bryan Keith). Jericho says Gravity's mask may have been taking from them, but it is time for all the masks to be removed. He says Big Bill and Bryan Keith have been under his wing without using his knowledge for too long, and tells them to ask themselves if they are worthy of being around him and to prove themselves to him for the last time. He then wants Bandido to feel the embarrassment that his brother Gravity felt, and challenges Bandido to a mask vs. title match for the ROH World Championship at Dynasty.

MJF heads to the ring. He says that Michael Jackson's legacy is far more important than that of Prince, and that his words are far more important than all of the fans'. MJF then tells MVP that he has been looking at his business card for the last two weeks, then invites him to the ring for his answer. MVP shows up, and MJF considers him a legend in professional wrestling, then admits that he does not want to do the "friends" thing again and that when MVP clocks in, he does business, not "friends." MJF then says he would like to be in the business of hurting people, but as they go to shake hands, Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin show up. As MVP tells Lashley that he can always trust him, "The Redwood" Big Bill and "The Bad Apple" Bryan Keith show up, and Bryan Keith says that "Hurt People" hurt people and that they have real business to attend to. MVP tells Big Bill to put Bryan Keith on a leash, and Big Bill says that he sees the tag team titles, but not a challenger. This leads to Big Bill and MVP trading insults before Big Bill states that he never got his tag team title rematch due to Sting's retirement. He says that he will prove himself to Chris Jericho by taking the tag team titles. MVP tells them to actually win a match before Lashley and Shelton even see them for the titles.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "Timeless" Toni Storm and Thunder Rosa. Thunder Rosa mentions their history three years ago and how she wants the Women's World title when Toni says nothing has changed, then the two of them tell Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford that they are in for a fight.

"The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher beats Brody King with a brainbuster into the top turnbuckle thanks to distractions by Don Callis and Mark Davis. After the match, Fletcher and Davis gang up on Brody King before Powerhouse Hobbs shows up from out of the crowd and fights them. This leads into the next match.

Don Callis guests on commentary as Powerhouse Hobbs and Mark Davis are about to have their match. Security still tries to get between them, but they get beaten up. (One of the security guards is played by former NXT Superstar Von Wagner.)

Powerhouse Hobbs beats Mark Davis.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews The Patriarchy (Kip Sabian, "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne, Mother Wayne). Nick Wayne says he is starting to realize why Christian Cage did what he did at Revolution, but he will wait to mention why. He then says that he has shown what it is like to be on the same page and execute a plan.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "Hangman" Adam Page. Swerve Strickland shows up and starts a war of words with Hangman, and Prince Nana has to drag Swerve away from him.

In footage from earlier today, Tony Schavione interviews Adam Copeland and FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler). Dax says he let his emotions get the better of him last week and that he owes them an apology, as they have taken a break from their goal of being tag team champions and that it has gotten to him. Copeland says it was not his intention to pull them away, as they were attacked by The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Marina Shafir), and Wheeler says they have all let their emotions get the better of them, and that if it were not for Copeland or Dax, he has nothing. As Dax says that they have helped Copeland with his goal, he wants to focus on the tag titles, but Cash proposes the three of them face The Death Riders for the World Trios Championships, which Dax agrees to.

Swerve Strickland and Prince Nana head to the ring. Swerve calls out Jon Moxley, and demands Moxley get in the ring and look him in the eyes if he has the balls to do so. Moxley heads to the ring, and Swerve says he has allowed things to go like this for far too long. He says he has not gone after the AEW World Championship because he loves to give people enough rope to hang themselves, including Moxley. He says that Moxley used to be revered and that he and the AEW World Championship used to be synonymous with each other, but now he hides behind the rest of The Death Riders (Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Marina Shafir). Swerve says Moxley has stated that nobody has the balls to win the AEW World Championship when he doesn't have the balls to hold it himself and always narrowly avoids losing the title, and that now he represents what Moxley used to be. Suddenly, Claudio Castagnoli shows up behind Prince Nana. Moxley says it about Swerve, not him, and that it is Swerve versus himself at Dynasty. He then asks who and what Swerve really is before stating he knows who Swerve is and what he could be. He admits he has been disappointed before, but he will give him a shot to step into the ring and prove if he can be the best he can be. Moxley then asks if Swerve will either endure or look for a way out, and says Swerve has not suffered enough, but soon will at Dynasty. Moxley says his sport has been taken over by billionaires, yet admits men like Swerve gives him hope that he has put his body on the line for a reason. He then says he will not give Swerve a hand-out, and wants to know how far Swerve is willing to go and says he himself will go the whole way right now. Moxley says this should not be a problem for Swerve, as he is the most dangerous man in AEW. As Marina Shafir shows up, Willow Nightingale shows up with a pipe. Swerve says he has bettered Moxley before and that when he wins the World Championship, it will prove that Moxley only plays himself on television. Afterwards, Shafir pretends to leave, then goes after Willow. Claudio and Prince Nana have to hold Shafir and Willow back, respectively.

Backstage, we hear from The Opps (Samoa Joe, Hook, "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata). Hook tells Samoa Joe that "Platinum" Max Caster is enjoyable to choke out due to how enjoyable he is regarding the extended Redrum from last week on Collision, then Samoa Joe and Hook notice Caster talking with AR Fox and Top Flight (Darius and Dante Martin). When Caster notices Shibata holding the camera, Samoa Joe puts him to sleep.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "Switchblade" Jay White. Jay White declares for this year's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, and that this year, he will win the Owen Cup and get a shot at the AEW World Championship. He says that if he runs into "Hangman" Adam Page, then so be it, then states that there are others who want to face him and that he wants to face those challengers.

Top Flight (Darius and Dante Martin) beat Royal Flavuh (Alex Findley and Devo Knight). After the match, Top Flight gets in a verbal altercation with The Cru (Lio Rush and Action Andretti) at the front row. Meanwhile, "The Redwood" Big Bill and "The Bad Apple" Bryan Keith watch from backstage.

Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

"The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita beats Mark Briscoe.

We hear from The Death Riders (Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC). Wheeler Yuta says he hates FTR's (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) guts and that Adam Copeland tried to rip him from his family. Claudio says that when the going gets tough, Dax Harwood throws hissy fits. PAC says they find Copeland and FTR's arrogance hard to stomach, and that it is The Death Riders who challenge them to survive at Dynasty.

Backstage, Alicia Atout interviews The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin). Lashley is not happy to see MVP with MJF while they were on vacation. MVP says that he does not get time off like they do, that they have talked about a fourth member for some time, and that MJF could be it. Shelton and Lashley remind MVP that MJF has a reputation, but MVP says MJF's reprehensible reputation could be to their benefit, but they do have say if he joins in. He then says they should focus on The Learning Tree ("The Redwood" Big Bill and "The Bad Apple" Bryan Keith) right now.

Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford beat "Timeless" Toni Storm and Thunder Rosa.
