Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for May 27, 2026

In backstage footage from after Double or Nothing, Will Ospreay has a chance meeting with Kenny Omega, who reminds Ospreay of The Death Riders' (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir) untrustworthiness and ruthlessness as he tells Ospreay he could have done anything for him. Ospreay says that he only trusted in them because Omega was not around, but Omega says that the both of them are not who they once were. He tells Ospreay not to not trust them, but to be careful. Jon Moxley shows up and agrees, saying that everyone has their skeletons before telling Ospreay that the truck is outside. Omega tells Ospreay to call him if he needs him, and Ospreay tells Omega not to give up on the world title.

"The Jet" Kevin Knight heads to the ring to start tonight's show. The fans chant "Fuck you, Kevin" and "Shut the fuck up" as he says he did what he did because he told Darby Allin not to let him or the fans down only for Darby Allin to blow it just like the Philadelphia 76ers did against the New York Knicks. Knight says he decided to no longer trust the process and take matters into his own hands and do what he had to do, especially when he was the last person to humble MJF, and says it should have been him in the main event. He says that he had to watch from the sidelines as he states that he is not a bench player and that he makes highlights every time he is in the ring, because he is not here to take part; he is here to take over. Knight says he put trust in Darby Allin when he told him not to waste any time, and when Darby Allin did not get the job done, he did not waste any time leaving him in a pool of his own blood and standing on top of him. "Speedball" Mike Bailey shows up and tells Knight to listen to himself, and tells him that his ambition is his best and worst quality, and while they both want to be the best, Kevin Knight gets impatient and ahead of himself, and makes mistakes. He calls what Knight did to Darby a mistake and that he can fix things and make things right if he just apologizes, then offers his hand only for Knight to walk past Speedball, deny the handshake, and then hit Speedball with a clothesline. Knight then hits Speedball with a Uranage for leaving the ring.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona). Ricochet says Chris Jericho got lucky at Double or Nothing, and Bishop Kaun says he was mugged seven-to-one. He then says that the more he thinks about everyone being banned from ringside, Jericho will not have six other guys to save him when he has him beat tonight. Ricochet says that he has beaten Jericho twice and that nothing is going to change that.

Chris Jericho beats Ricochet. (In this match, everyone is banned from ringside.) After the match, Jericho is attacked from behind by Tommaso Ciampa.

Backstage, we hear from Andrade el Idolo, who says that he can now focus on winning the AEW World Championship and beating MJF now that Stadium Stampede is over. He says MJF thinks he is better than him, then asks "How you know?"

Rush beats Lio Rush, Orange Cassidy and "The Machine" Brian Cage in a SuperStation Showcase 4-Way after Brian Cage and The Don Callis Family (including a returning Jake Doyle) atack Orange Cassidy and carry him to the back.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews MJF, who is soon interrupted by "The Jet" Kevin Knight. MJF says Knight attacked Darby to show respect to him and that it meant a lot to him. Knight stops MJF and says Darby blew an opportunity that should have went to him, and that he will MJF for the World title when he gets that opportunity. MJF and Renee leave, then Kevin Knight runs into "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher. Don Callis shows up and tells Knight that if he is serious about being a double champion, he knows who to turn to.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews The Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor). Jamie Hayter says she took Thekla's head off, but next time, she will take the AEW Women's World Championship. Alex Windsor says her heart goes out to Willow Nightingale, but she looks forward to facing her when she comes back. As for her wild card opponent, she prepared for getting the piss beaten out of her week in and week out, and she hopes to chase her Wembley dream just like Will Ospreay. She hopes that her wild card opponent in the Women's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament has skin in the game, as she is going all out to become AEW Women's World Champion.

MJF is carried out on a platform while sitting on a chair before walking down some steps on the stage on his way to the ring. MJF declares that he has gotten his "Triple-B" back and says that Darby Allin is hanging his head in shame after he beat him with a move as basic as a standing headlock takeover for a third time. He says that professional wrestling has been around since the 1800s and that only eight men have been three-time world champions before the age of 30 and that people will talk about him "until the sun explodes," and hopes everyone is "remotely condescent" of how lucky they are to get to witness him in real time.MJF says that everyone is living in the greatest era imaginable because it is all about him, then tells the fans to get down on their hands and knees and bow before the greatest of all time. A banner saying "3x World Champion" comes down, then Mark Briscoe shows up and pulls it down before MJF gets angry at him. Mark says MJF is like a stranger in a strange place and does not fit in, and says it is like a penguin is wandering through the desert. He says that this is Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where some of the toughest people live, and MJF sticks out like a sore thumb because he is not tough. Mark says that MJF is self-absorbed and believes the world belongs to him and that he is above everyone else, then reminds MJF that it was not too long ago that he pinned him in the middle of the ring. MJF says he wants a shot at the AEW World Championship, then asks MJF if he will continue to be "a soft little bitch" or if he will man up. MJF bluntly says "No," saying AEW is a business and not just a sport, and that it is bad enough that Darby Allin even sniffed the World title.MJF then laughs at the idea of Mark Briscoe being the AEW World Champion, saying that Mark Briscoe would put AEW out of business. He says that there are levels to this, and Mark Briscoe is nowhere near "the level of The Devil." MJF leaves the ring, but before he can make it to the back, Rush suddenly shows up. He says MJF wants a fighting champion, then finds it funny that Mark Briscoe is a chicken farmer while MJF is "a chickenshit." He reminds MJF that he almost beat him, then makes it clear that he wants the AEW World Championship and that when you mess with the bull, you get the horns. MJF tells Rush that he is not the only guy who can speak separate languages, then says that he agrees with Rush, saying if anyone has earned a title shot, it is him, and says that he looks good, has won matches left and right, has a catchphrase people like, and looks more marketable than Mark Briscoe. MJF then asks him if he wants a World title match tonight before saying "Psych," and telling him that it will happen next week. MJF tells Rush to come prepared, as the bull is about to lock horns with the Devil.

We hear from "Jungle" Jack Perry, saying that he and Mark Davis have had their battles, and while the national tour is over, their rivalry has just begun. All of a sudden, Luchasaurs stops the bus, and this leads to a Rocky-style training montage.

Brody King beats Claudio Castagnoli to advance in the Men's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament.

Adam Copeland and Christian Cage head to the ring. Christian Cage addresses FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler), stating that they are without a doubt the toughest tag team they have ever shared the ring with, and that they brought out the best in him and Copeland. He says that they are "top guys" as advertised, but not "the tippy top." Copeland says FTR made the mistake of having an "I Quit" Match with two men who were told they would never wrestle again, refused to quit, and got their careers match. He then says that FTR are in the rear view mirror and that it is time to live in the now. Then, for the first time in 25 years, Copeland and Christian hit the five-second pose for the benefit of those with flash photography. Christian refuses at first, and also says they don't make flash photography anymore. Copeland pulls a black bag full of disposable cameras from 20 years ago out from underneath the ring and explains how to use them as he passes them around in the front row, but before they can do the pose, they are attacked from behind by The Dogs (Clark Connors and David Finlay). Clark Connors stands on Christian's hand on the ring steps, allowing David Finlay to strike Christian's arm with a shillelagh before the two of them trap his hand under the steps for a devastating double foot stomp on the top of the steps by Connors. Finlay then drills Christian with the shillelagh in the ring once more for good measure before choking Copeland out with the shillelagh and holding him down for a Spear by Connors. The Dogs then present a new five-second pose called "The new AEW World Tag Team Champions" for the benefit of those with flash photography.

Backstage, Prince Nana brags about what happened to Bandido at Swerve Strickland's hands at Double or Nothing, then tells Brody King that Swerve is taking the Owen Hart Tournament and getting back in the main event. Swerve congratulates Brody King on winning, stating that nobody would know who Brody is if it were not for him, then says that whoever gets in his way will be put down. He says that "conflict creates cash," and he plans to make a lot of money with Brody.

TayJay (Tay Melo and Anna Jay) beat Ava Everett and Allie Katch.

Backstage, we hear from "Speedball" Mike Bailey, who says that "The Jet" Kevin Knight made his choice. He says that if this is the road he wants to go down, then they will go down on opposite roads, and if Knight wants to show how good he really is, then they will see how that goes.

Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

Mark Davis beats "Jungle" Jack Perry to advance in the Men's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament in a match that sees Jack Perry get slammed out of one of his shoes before he eventually ends up wresting without shoes or socks due to Mark Davis ripping them off.
