Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for August 6, 2025

Backstage, we hear from MJF, who says that because of "Hangman" Adam Page's cowardice, he will take his anger out on Mark Briscoe. He says that Mark is looking into the eyes of the Devil and that he will send him back to Delaware to be a chicken farmer. He says that Mark Briscoe is "white trash that got lucky" and that the fans pity and feel sorry for him, and tonight, Mark Briscoe's luck will run out.

Jon Moxley beats "Speedball" Mike Bailey. During the match, "The Jet" Kevin Knight confronts Marina Shafir for getting involved during the match, and Wheeler Yuta is grabbed from behind by Darby Allin at the barricade.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Alex Windsor and "Timeless" Toni Storm. Windsor tells her opponent to hit her hard, as they will soon be hearing her name. Toni says that she awaits to see her name on the contract for their match.

Backstage, Darby Allin leaves a body bag with Wheeler Yuta inside for Jon Moxley and Marina Shafir. A paper with the word "Forbidden Door" is taped to Yuta's forehead.

In backstage footage from earlier today, Renee Paquette interviews Mercedes Moné. Mercedes takes offense to her recent loss to "Timeless' Toni Storm being mentioned, then walks away.

"Timeless" Toni Storm watches the next match from ringside.

Alex Windsor beats Billie Starkz, Queen Aminata and Skye Blue in a TBS Championship 4-Way Qualifier with an inside cradle to Billie Starkz after "Timeless" Toni Storm stops Athena from interfering. After the match, Mercedes Moné shows up and has a staredown with Alex Windsor. Toni Storm gets in the ring, but Athena stalks Toni and hits her with the O-Face before Mercedes hits Windsor with a Backstabber. Mercedes and Athena then have their own staredown in the middle of the ring.

In backstage footage from earlier today, Renee Paquette interviews The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson), who feel disrespected to the point that they demand respect from a production worker as well as a grand entrance.

Renee Paquette introduces Don Callis and "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher. A painting is hidden behind a black mantle near the middle of the ring. Callis and Fletcher also show up with Lance Archer, Rey Hechicero and "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander. Two women are also seen carrying a pedestal holding the AEW Continental, International and Unified Championships. Don Callis says that he is building the largest numerical faction in wrestling history for power, for when one has the gold, one controls destiny, and ever since Kazuchika Okada joined him, he already has three championships. He also states that Kyle Fletcher has since become a champion and has retired a legend in the process much like Okada has, and Fletcher states that "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes does not deserve to be in the same ring as him. He also brags about putting Adam Cole on the shelf for good and states that while he may have achieved his destiny, it is only the beginning of his legacy, and that anyone who tries to take the TNT title from him will suffer the same fate. He also brags about putting Adam Cole on the shelf for good and states that while he may have achieved his destiny, it is only the beginning of his legacy, and that anyone who tries to take the TNT title from him will suffer the same fate. Callis brags that he has spent the last two days creating his latest masterpiece: an oil painting of a jacked Don Callis putting the TNT Championship around the waist of Kyle Fletcher. Fletcher loves the painting, and says he owes all this success to Callis. He then says he wants to be a fighting champion, and that his first defense on the way to becoming the best ever seen will be this Saturday on Collision. He says that he will walk out of Collision as champion and tells everyone to get used to his, as he will be champion for a very long time.

Backstage, Alicia Atout interviews Adam Copeland. He says that Christian Cage has learned nothing and has no concept of what he has become, then says he has his own hands full with FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Stokely Hathaway. He then announces that next week, he will have a match with Stokely Hathaway, and if FTR interfere, their restraining order - which applies both ways - will be null and void. He asks FTR if they will interfere and risk getting their asses kicked, or if they will throw Stokely to the wolves and have him become slowly torn apart.

Before the next match, The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) have to crawl under the video screen when it only raises up one inch. Justin Roberts then reads the instructions given to him from earlier verbatim. When the pyro goes off, it is loud, then only a few fireballs fly by. Their name is then seen in Comic Sans while corny music plays, and "Max and Jeremy" - a reference to their time in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling as "Generation Me" - can be seen on their chyron.

Bandido and Brody King beat The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) to face FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) in the finals of the AEW World Tag Team Championship Eliminator Tournament at Forbidden Door.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin). MVP says that Brody King and Bandido are a magnificent tag team and wishes the best of luck to the finalist. He says that The Hurt Syndicate will be all too happy to hurt whoever wins. MJF shows up, and Lashley and Shelton leave. MVP says that The Hurt Syndicate is about "we" when MJF has been all about "me" and that his ego is more than anyone can stand. MVP gives him the thumbs down, effectively removing him from The Hurt Syndicate, and proceeds to leave him in one piece so he can work towards the AEW World Championship. He also makes it clear that is not just business, but also personal, because if MJF becomes World Champion, Lashley will come after him, and it will be very personal.

Backstage, Alicia Atout interviews FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Stokely Hathaway. Dax Harwood says they can see through Adam Copeland and that they got this restraining order for his protection, and Cash Wheeler says that Stokely Hathaway is going through with this because he is the bigger man. Stokely Hathaway says that he is not a professional wrestler and that Copeland is a bully, and that he has been in a fight before. He says the fight continues next week, and that he will do it because his boss asked him to with a smile on his face and will have a bigger smile when he beats Copeland.

We see a video package chronicling the feud between "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada and Swerve Strickland.

Renee Paquette interviews Swerve Strickland and Prince Nana. Swerve says that the last time Don Callis was ringside in one of his matches, Prince Nana put him on his ass. He also says that last year, he put down Will Ospreay, and says that if he can do that to Ospreay, there is no telling what he can do to Okada. Swerve says that while Okada may be a one-in-a-hundred years talent, he is a talent that has never been seen before and will never be seen again. Swerve talks about how he put the fear of death in Okada, and that this is a big match for Okada because he is facing the biggest man in AEW in him. He says that this is not just about Okada, but about his own redemption, and that he will continue his legacy by defeating Okada and becoming the Unified Champion.

Backstage, Alicia Atout interviews Mark Briscoe. Mark Briscoe says he will do his talking with his fists and that the day of atonement is here for MJF, who he says will pay with his sins. Suddenly, "Hangman" Adam Page shows up, and Hangman mentions their history and that he admires who Mark Briscoe has become the past few years. He hopes that Mark Briscoe is the next to challenge for the AEW World Championship, then wishes him luck.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Queen Aminata when Willow Nightingale shows up and says they will both take care of Triangle of Madness on Saturday. Suddenly, Kris Statlander shows up, but Willow is irritated with Statlander's inability to move on. Statlander throws some confetti upwards, then runs away.

MJF beats Mark Briscoe after hitting him with the Heatseeker. Briscoe gets his foot on the bottom rope, but the referee does not see it, and after the match, MJF moves Briscoe's foot off the rope to preserve his win. Afterwards, MJF attacks Briscoe, then dons the Dynamite Diamond Ring to punch Briscoe out with it. Suddenly, "Hangman" Adam Page shows up and brawls with MJF. Security quickly moves into place and holds Hangman back while MJF leaves through the crowd. Hangman then gets in the ring and checks on Briscoe before going after MJF in the crowd. Once again, security and referees quickly move into place. The brawl then makes its way to ringside as the show ends, and MJF barely escapes a Buckshot Lariat.

Here are the highlights from tonight's show!
