Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for April 29, 2026

"The Jet" Kevin Knight retains the TNT Championship against MJF after MJF introduces the TNT Championship into the match as a front to use the Dynamite Diamond Ring as a weapon only for Knight to hit MJF with a low blow behind referee Bryce Remsburg's back and win and retain with an inside cradle. After the match, MJF hits Knight with a chop block, but all of a sudden, Darby Allin descends from the top of the arena and hits MJF with a Scorpion Deahtdrop. MJF calls Knight and Darby "two lowlife cheaters getting along" before stating he does not care about Knight and that the loss does not count before stating that all he cares about is the AEW World Championship. MJF demands his rematch, and Darby tells MJF he will not give him the rematch until he puts something on the line. He then gives the title shot to Kevin Knight before Brody King shows up and heads to the ring. Brody King tells Darby that he will not survive tonight, and tells Knight that he will face him and not Darby next week.

We see a video package for Brody King vs. Darby Allin for the AEW World Championship later tonight.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Adam Copeland and Christian Cage. Christian says that his left arm feels fine, then accepts FTR's challenge. Copeland is surprised by Christian's quick acceptance, and Christian insists that unlike Renee's voice, he never said "I quit."

The Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor) quickly beat Emily Jay and Jordan Blade.

Backstage, we hear from Thekla and Skye Blue. Thekla says she would love to stop calling people dumb bitches, but AEW is full of too many dumb bitches. Skye Blue says what happened to Persephone was entirely their fault, then says the black mist was the best thing to ever happen to her and possibly to Persephone as well. Thekla tells The Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor) to stick to their tag team, as they cannot handle a spider and she is everything and they are nothing one-on-one.

Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

"The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada retains the AEW International Championship against Ace Austin. After the match, "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita shows up and has a staredown with Okada from the top of the ramp.

We see a vignette where people are seen running out of a Western saloon before a bloodied man is tossed out and is forced to flee. A man whose face we cannot see finds Bandido's wanted poster. That man is revealed to be Swerve Strickland, and Prince Nana hands Swerve a lighter to point and burn the face of Bandido on the poster.

We hear from The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir). As Daniel Garcia talks about how they train in the hallway to get ready for the ring, Will Ospreay shows up and says he is not cleared, then says he and his friends back in Japan are in a title match and he does not want to let them down. Moxley applauds him for his loyalty, then tells him to "drop everything," as he needs no excess baggage. Moxley guarantees nothing and makes no promises, but he will see this through to the end as he has made a commitment to it, and asks the same in return from Ospreay, to which Ospreay agrees. Ospreay then finds out that he is training in the hallway before Moxley covers up the camera.

FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Stokely Hathaway guest on commentary for the next match.

Adam Copeland and Christian Cage beat RPG Vice (Rocky "Azucar" Romero and Trent Beretta). During the match, The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong) show up and brawl their way to the back with FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Stokely Hathaway. After the match, Christian grabs a metal folding chair, then removes the bottom crossbar and hands it to Copeland. Copeland puts the crossbar around Beretta's mouth and makes him say "I quit."

In backstage footage from earlier tonight, Renee Paquette interviews Chris Jericho, who says that is more pissed off than flattered at "the Ricosault," then he is jumped by The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona). Ricochet says the jokes and subliminal messages are over, and Jericho says "Eat shit, bald." Ricochet tears Jericho's shirt, then Jericho gets thrown into a crate and laid out.

The Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross) retain the AEW Women's World Tag Team Championships against Kris Statlander and Hikaru Shida. During the match, it is announced that next week's Dynamite will be a live three-hour special.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Andrade el Idolo and Don Callis when MJF shows up and says that Darby Allin is on a reign of terror thanks to Andrade ruining the company. Andrade plays dumb, and Callis tells both men to focus on business before they go at it.

Rush beats Steven Fuerte. After the match, Rush says that when you mess with the bull, you get the horns.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews The Opps (Samoa Joe, Hook, "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata, Anthony Bowens). Samoa Joe says The Opps intend to reassert their dominance not only by winning championship gold and beating their opponents, but through strategic alliance. He says that The Opps had Will Ospreay's back against The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir), and wants Ospreay to choose between The Opps and The Death Riders.

Backstage, we hear from FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Stokely Hathaway. Stokely says that next week, Orange Cassidy will take on Dax Harwood. If Orange wins, The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong) have a shot at the tag team titles. If Dax wins, FTR gets a shot at the Trios title with Tommaso Ciampa. Ciampa shows up and says that last time, he put Mark Briscoe on the shelf indefinitely, and next time, he will take the trios titles. Ciampa then eats a piece of popcorn hanging off Stokely's beard.

Darby Allin retains the AEW World Championship against Brody King with three Coffin Drops: one on the outside on exposed concrete following a powerbomb off the apron, and two more back inside the ring.
