Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for September 3, 2025

Gabe Kidd interrupts the start of the show, wanting to know where Darby Allin is. He says that the 2300 Arena is not big enough for Darby to be hiding in the rafters before Darby Allin suddenly appears in the ring and fights Gabe Kidd. Kidd exposes a turnbuckle, but Darby is the one to use it against him first before Kidd can do the same. Darby and Kidd keep brawling, and Darby soon hits Kidd with a Coffin Drop. Back in the ring, Darby goes for a Coffin Splash, but Kidd counters with a rear naked choke. Darby rakes the eyes, then knocks Wheeler Yuta off the ring apron when Yuta shows up before getting the better of Kidd again. Darby then pulls a skateboard with thumbtacks glued to the bottom of it out from underneath the ring. Wheeler falls victim to the skateboard first - and gets a few thumbtacks in his back for it - before Jon Moxley, Marina Shafir and Claudio Castagnoli arrive. As the three of them are about the surround the ring, the lights go out, then Hook shows up when the lights come back on. All of a sudden, he is joined by Samoa Joe and Powerhouse Hobbs, who run right by and raise hell. Willow Nightingale also shows up, and the situation becomes a four-on-four brawl all over the ring. Yuta and Hook take their brawl to the back, and Joe, Hobbs and Willow soon start cleaning house. Meanwhile, Darby Allin and Gabe Kidd are also brawling backstage, and Gabe Kidd pulls a claw hammer out of a toolbox. He tries to strike Darby with it, but Darby soon throws powder in his eyes and chokes him out with a rag. The rag seems to have a chemical substance on it which sends Gabe Kidd into unconsciousness before Darby Allin stuffs Gabe Kidd in a body bag tied to the back of a red Dodge pick-up truck, which soon drags Gabe Kidd painfully out of the arena as soon as Darby takes the wheel.

Mercedes Moné retains the TBS Championship against Alex Windsor with a roll-up after Windsor is able to break the Statement Maker with a pinfall attempt. After the match, Windsor offers to shake Mercedes' hand, but Mercedes flips her off. Windsor hits her with the takedown from behind, but Mercedes puts her in a Statement Maker. All of a sudden, Riho - who has not been seen in a while - shows up and hits Mercedes with a top rope stomp before drop kicking her out of the ring.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Samoa Joe and Powerhouse Hobbs. When asked where Hook stands with them, Hook shows up and says he does not need either of them and that he fights his own battles. He also takes offense to being replaced in The Opps (Joe, Hobbs, "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata) with Hobbs while he was injured, but Joe says it was because opportunities were coming and that Hobbs was ready while Hook was not. He says that Hook has the right to be angry with him because he made the call, then tells him that at some point, he will need their help whether he wants or not, and they will still have his back.

Backstage, we hear from Ricochet and Gates of Agony (Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona). He says his problems with The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin) predate AEW and that they have never gotten on the same page because for The Hurt Syndicate, it is business, while for him, it is personal. As Ricochet says that The Hurt Syndicate now has to rely on past legacies, Toa Liona says that is all The Hurt Synidcate has left after their tag team title reign ended, and and now their legacy is next. Bishop Kaun and Ricochet says they are now dominant and the future of AEW, and Ricochet says they should settle this like men at All Out. He says that afterwards, they will stand above The Hurt Syndicate. Ricochet then states that this is not a request, but a demand.

Mark Briscoe heads to the ring. Mark calls the 2300 Arena "hallowed ground" where he and his brother Jay Briscoe fell in love with professional wrestling and have been blazing ever since, and right now, his focus is on a young man named "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher and the TNT Championship. He then states that this means having a conversation with Don Callis, who he says looks like Elton John dressed like a prosthetic penis for Halloween before calling him out and telling him to choose the man he wants to face him. Callis shows up with Lance Archer and Rocky "Azucar" Romero and states that Mark is very impatient to get his answer, but he is busy getting Fletcher and "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander ready for tonight's main event. He says announces that his opponent will be none other than "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita, who shows up and has a staredown with Mark in the middle of the ring before Callis tells Mark to "save it for Saturday." Mark says Callis must love to mess with his head before telling Takeshita that he will kick his ass, then says he is in a fighting mood and wants another one of his men. Rocky Romero volunteers to give Mark a fight at first, but Lance Archer ends up entering the ring.

Mark Briscoe beats Lance Archer with a top rope Sunset Flip Powerbomb followed by the Froggy 'Bow.

In footage from earlier today, "Timeless" Toni Storm talks of the many stories that could be told in the 2300 Arena, then says insanity is relative before daring anyone to face her for the Women's World Championship. She then says God does not judge, for it is her job.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Harley Cameron and Kris Statlander. As Harley Cameron says they are undefeated and heading to the top before calling out Bandido and Brody King, Wheeler Yuta shows up and tells Statlander that The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Marina Shafir) have her back before Marina Shafir shows up. Statlander tells Shafir that she got their friend's message, then Yuta heads to the ring for the next match.

Brody King and Bandido retain the AEW World Tag Team Championships against The Death Riders (Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta) after Darby Allin keeps Jon Moxley from interfering.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada. Okada says that Konosuke Takeshita calls himself "The Alpha," but he is "The Rainmaker" and the top dog of The Don Callis Family. He then calls Takeshita a bitch.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin). MVP wants to know what happened to Ricochet, as he used to be a dynamite and exciting professional wrestling until he became "a pathetic kiss-ass" and "a joke." He tells Gates of Agony (Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona) not to let Ricochet turn their career into a punchline. He then says that when The Hurt Syndicate walk into the room, they are given a wide berth and they command respect. MVP accepts Ricochet's challenge and looks forward to punching Ricochet in his mouth.

Adam Copeland heads to the ring when he is suddenly attacked by FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler). Christian Cage soon gets in the ring to assist Copeland, and security soon has to step in to stop the brawl. When security starts having a hard time, the Ring of Honor locker room has to empty out to restore order. Order does not last long when one of the wrestlers gets hit with a spike piledriver, and Adam Priest, who is initially part of the locker room trying to stop FTR, ends up having to be separated as well when he is forced to throw hands.

We see a video package for Jon Moxley vs. Daniel Garcia on Collision.

Backstage, we hear from Stokely Hathaway and FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler). Hathaway warns that there will be a day of reckoning if Adam Copeland and Christian Cage put their hands on him again. Cash Wheeler then chews out Adam Priest for throwing hands with FTR before challenging him to a tag team match on Collision.

When The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) head to the ring for the next match, the words "These guys again?" appear on their chyron along with "53 days of not being EVPs." Their LED board video consists of their names in Comic Sans. We also see The Young Bucks at a meet-and-greet in what looks like a bar and it is obvious they have no interest in being there. Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) and The Don Callis Family ("The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher and "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander) beat JetSpeed ("Speedball" Mike Bailey and "The Jet" Kevin Knight), "Hangman" Adam Page and Kenny Omega in an All-Star 8-Man Tag Match. After the match, The Don Callis Family go on the attack with Rocky "Azucar" Romero and Lance Archer joining in. Fletcher hits Hangman with a brainbuster onto the seat of an open metal folding chair before Archer and Romero pull a table out from underneath the ring. Kenny Omega tries to fight back, but Kyle Fletcher hits Omega in the lower abdomen with the chair putting him through the table with a brainbuster. Medical staff has to check on Omega immediately as The Don Callis Family looks down on him before walking away.
