Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for September 2, 2026

Will Ospreay heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Ospreay apologizes for his rough appearance following a post-championship win bender before thanking the fans from those who have been there since the beginning from the ones who followed him since his AEW debut. He then addresses Kenny Omega, saying that they both took each other to the limit and that he had to keep fighting because he wanted the AEW World Championship. He says that Omega has been the best in the world for the last ten years and still is. Ospreay says that 364 days out of the year, Omega is a better wrestler than him, but it took one day for him to become champion. He then mentions that he and Omega have two wins apiece. Ospreay says he wanted Omega to recognize him as an equal, and he is fine with that tie, but if Omega is not satisfied, then he can name the time and place and they can sort this once and for all. Ospreay thinks about past AEW World Champions and how so many of them are his heroes, then announces that he is among them and that he has worked for this, stating that his heroes are now his rivals. He admits that he has struggled to say that he is the guy, but now that he is AEW World Champion, he is the standard, "the billy goat" and the best in the world now. Ospreay says that anyone who wants to take the title from him will have to walk through the same fire he did and see him at the end of the line. Ospreay thanks his teammates in United Empire (Henare, Francesco Akira, Callum Newman), then says that while United Empire will stay in Japan, he will start creating his own opportunities in AEW and create his own United Empire in the United States. The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona) suddenly show up with Ricochet interrupting, and Ricochet says Ospreay knows just as well as he does that they have unfinished business and acknowledges that Ospreay's match at All In was magic. Ricochet says that no one knows Ospreay like he does and that Ospreay would not be in the main event of All In without him, then demands the first opportunity at the AEW World Championship. Clark Connors and Gabe Kidd suddenly show up and interrupt, with Gabe Kidd saying that Ospreay has taken his chance and that it is nothing compared to what he will take from Ospreay and his family. Ricochet says he will get the first opportunity at the title, but Gabe Kidd says he wants Ospreay's life, and that he does not mind doing it five-on-one. United Empire shows up from behind Ospreay to match the numbers. Ospreay says they can go at it right now in their street clothes, or they can have an eight-man tag match in their gear for tonight's main event.

Swerve Strickland and The New Level (Kofi and "Awesome" Austin Creed) retain the AEW World Trios Championships against The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz, Dezmond Xavier, Myron Reed). After the match, The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) show up and congratulate The New Level as both teams have a brief staredown before The Young Bucks head to the ring.

The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) are in the ring after the commercial break. Matt addresses what happened at All In and asks Adam Copeland and Christian Cage if they had to beat them the way that they did and if they are happy with themselves and satisfied with how they did it, then want Copeland and Christian to answer to their faces. Instead of Copeland and Christian, FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Stokely Hathaway show up instead, and Stokely says that he cannot believe what he is hearing and that only two people matter in this ring: FTR. Stokely says The Young Bucks blew it at Revolution, blew it at All In and now want to blow it for a third time, then Dax says that "Daddy's home" and that The Young Bucks had their chance and lost again in front of friends and family. He says that FTR have beaten both The Young Bucks and the team of Copeland and Christians, then tells them to step aside so they can become five-time tag team champions. Nick says they have beaten FTR too, but have also made them say "I quit." Christian and Copeland arrive on the stage, and Christian says "They don't ask how you won; they ask who won." He reveals that his wrist and forearm were never hurt, and that they have both beaten FTR and The Young Bucks and stayed tag team champions. He is amazed that they are not so embarrassed that they would take a 50% pay cut and go somewhere else than be embarrassed by them again, then Copeland says that he is not pleased with how they won and says they are better than that. Christian says there is a way to make it right and entitles The Young Bucks as well as FTR to a tag team title rematch at All Out in a three-way Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Will Ospreay and United Empire (Henare, Francesco Akira, Callum Newman). Ospreay says there is no heat and that is time to move on, yet he has not found a fifth man. Callum Empire says he knows a guy who has been in the Empire for some time now: Andrade el Idolo. Andrade el Idolo comes out from behind a nearby door and congratulates Ospreay after saying "How you know?" and shaking hands with everyone else.

Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

Darby Allin retains the TNT Championship against Mark Davis. After the match, Trent Beretta and Rocky "Azucar" Romero attack Darby. Steven Borden gets in the ring and makes quick work of both men, then stares down Mark Davis. Davis teases getting in the ring, then Borden is attacked from behind by a returning Josh Alexander. "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander puts Darby in an ankle lock, and Mark Davis hits Borden with a piledriver.

In backstage footage from All In, MJF says he had to win the Men's Casino Gauntlet Match to prove that he is the undisputed "One True Champion" and that he is in this position because of Will Ospreay. He says that Ospreay is what is wrong with his life, and if anybody else in AEW got screwed the way that he did, the match would have been tossed out. MJF says nobody likes him because he is a cold dose of reality nobody wants to deal with. He says that thinking of him is thinking of the other wrestlers that are on his level and that it makes people mad that he is the biggest needle mover in AEW and that there is nobody more important in AEW than him. MJF says payback is coming and that payback is a bitch, and that nobody will see it coming, and that by the time he finally does hand off some payback, everyone will be begging for it.

Megan Bayne beats Alex Windsor. During the match, Jamie Hayter stops Lena Kross from using one of the AEW Women's World Tag Team Championship, and the referee fails to see Megan Bayne do the same and hit Alex Windsor with one of them. This allows Bayne to hit Windsor with the Megabomb for the win. After the match, The Divine Dominion (Bayne and Kross) briefly attack Windsor before Hayter chases them out of the ring.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Chris Jericho, who mentions "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne getting pinned before Nick Wayne shows up, confronts Jericho and says he not only owning the ring, but taking Jericho out of the Men's Casino Gauntlet. Jericho is impressed with Nick Wayne's talent for his age, but says he is still only 21 years old. Jericho insults Nick Wayne's necklace, and this starts a brawl that ends with Nick Wayne kicking Jericho in the groin.

Mercedes Moné heads to the ring for her AEW Women's World Championship champion's celebration. Mercedes thanks the fans and says she has not stopped smiling since All In, and says that she wanted and needed to be in AEW because it was the only place where the women's revolution could be globalized, and now, she is AEW Women's World Champion. She says that she took a bet on herself and says that this is what happens when you stop asking permission to be great. Mercedes says she has travelled the world and won championship after championship to become great on her own terms. Mercedes announces that she is the first woman to win world championship in four major companies, and says that to get here, she needed to leave one thing behind: Willow Nightingale. She says she showed everyone who Willow Nightingale truly is at All In, and mentions that Willow Nightingale ruined her face. She thought that Willow was trying to stop her from her destiny, but she really pushed her towards it. Mercedes then mockingly thanks Willow, saying that she is the one smiling now after having taken Willow's smile and Willow's title and that the women's division is now standing in her kingdom. She says that this is her moment, then says that what she wants for the AEW Women's World Championship does not exist yet before stating that it soon will now that she is champion. Mercedes is suddenly interrupted by "The Toxic Spider" Thekla, who shows up in the crowd with her own tequila while impressed with Mercedes' promo. She congratulates Mercedes, then says that for all Mercedes has done, she has never been "toxic." She thanks Mercedes for what she did to Willow Nightingale, saying that Willow deserved to be humiliated, then notes that Mercedes like to swing the Women's World Championship between her legs and that "nobody swings it bigger than Thekla." Thekla also states that since she has been gone, Mercedes has been calling people "dumb bitches," and says that the only thing she hates more than dumb bitches is dumb bitches calling other people dumb bitches. She also says that even though Mercedes is CEO, she does not work for her. Thekla then raises a tequila toast to Mercedes, then tells Mercedes to let her know when she is ready to give her the Women's World Championship back.

We hear from Persephone and Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. Britt Baker says she is here for a guarantee and that Persephone has a killer instinct to do whatever it takes to take what is hers. Britt says she has gone where no other champion has been before and that Persephone will take the TBS Championship where it has never been before. Persephone says that they did not need each other, but together, they are eternal and have no Achilles' heel. She says that she did everyone a favor and stole the gold Sunday night, and that on Saturday, she will defend the TBS Championship on Collision.

Jon Moxley beats AR Foxx in an AEW Continental Championship Eliminator Match.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Don Callis, "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher and "The Jet" Kevin Knight. Knight says he will not be demeaned on national television, then brings up how Fletcher lost his match. Callis has to get both men to stop arguing, saying that will they have individual setbacks, he has a new plan to create some cohesion: putting Fletcher and Knight in a tag team match against The Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson and Ace Austin) on Collision, much to the chagrin of both Fletcher and Knight. A grinning "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada shows up, saying "Family, Kyle...family," then walks off as Fletcher gets angry with him.

Will Ospreay, Andrade el Idolo and United Empire (Callum Newman, Henare, Francesco Akira) beat The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona) and The Dogs (Gabe Kidd and Clark Connors) in a ten-man tag match. After the match, Andrade and Ospreay shake hands, then Gabe Kidd pulls Andrade out of the ring, starting a post-match brawl between the two teams that security cannot stop. Gabe Kidd hits Will Ospreay with a low blow, then The Death Riders show up. Moxley stops Kidd from using the chair not once, but twice, and Andrade takes out Gabe Kidd and chases him through the crowd. Moxley then stares Ospreay down before handing him the AEW World Championship before placing his hand on Ospreay's neck. It is then revealed that Ospreay will defend the AEW World Championship against Moxley at All Out. Both Moxley and Ospreay are shocked at this turn of events as the show ends.

Generation NXT - NXT recap for September 1, 2026

Zilla Fatu heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Zilla was hoping he would be NXT Champion tonight, but Heatwave did not go his way. He thought he had everything figured out, but he took the loss and he did not get the job done despite the red carpet rolled out for him. He then says that it felt amazing to be in NXT in the first place, then states that it is just a matter of when he holds the title. All of a sudden, Zilla is interrupted by Tristan Angels. Tristan says that nobody wants to hear Zilla prattle about Heatwave any further and that the fans have the attention span of fruit flies, then tells Zilla that he is not the main one in his own family, much less NXT, and had no chance of winning. He says that there is nothing about Zilla that makes him a champion unlike him. Zilla calls Tristan "Gangrel Jr.," then says that while he likes his accent, he does not like his attitude. Zilla says his family in Texas saw him in action, but his family in Orlando gets to see him whip that ass. Tristan goes for a cheap shot, saying that Zilla wants his second loss in NXT, but Zilla gets the better of him.

Backstage, General Manager Robert Stone plans on making Tristan Angels vs. Zilla Fatu tonight's main event; meanwhile, EK Prosper and Saquon Shugars are wanting a match with Grayson Waller. Stone says both men are in consideration, then Keanu Carver shows up and says he wants Grayson, too. He says Stone is in a pickle and asks him what he will do.

In this week's NXT Spotlight, we hear from Naraku, who says that just because Shiloh Hill has researched his mist does not mean he knows the mystery. He says he will show the world why Shiloh Hill will live in darkness.

We hear from Myles Borne, who says that he does not regret defending two title on Sunday and that he had no excuses. He also knew that the tag team titles meant something to Tavion Heights, and he did not believe that Tavion would turn on him. He says that he saw it coming and got Tavion before Tavion got him.

Naraku beats Shiloh Hill after spitting green mist into his hand. Shiloh ducks to avoid having mist spit into his eyes, but Naraku goes for Shiloh's eyes with the misted hand instead, which gives him the pin and the win.

In backstage footage from earlier today, Noam Dar, Romeo Moreno, "Super" Sean Legacy and Dorian Van Dux mention their plans for the rising NXT tag team division. This leads to the two teams having a match over who is the better team tonight, which is coming up next.

Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno beat "Super" Sean Legacy and Dorian Van Dux after Noam Dar gets the knees up on a springboard move by Sean Legacy. After the match, The Creed Brothers (Julius and Brutus Creed) show up and decimate both teams.

Backstage, General Manager Robert Stone meets with Zaria, who says that with Wren Sinclair gone, so is the WWE Women's Speed Championship, which she hands to Stone before leaving. Birthright, who is also in the room, are forced to relinquish the WWE Speed Championship. Charlie Dempsey says that Birthright (Lexis King, Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, Uriah Connors, Charlie Dempsey, Arianna Grace) is not taken seriously and that it is time to stop giving and start taking. Birthright leave, then Cruz Montana shows up, saying he is trying to keep himself in check and that he wants Grayson Waller for the NXT Championship. Stone says that Grayson will be in the ring to address everyone. Keanu Carver shows up and says that Tony D'Angelo will be wanting his championship rematch, and that it must suck to be Stone.

Kelani Jordan heads to the ring. Kelani says that she and Kendal Grey had one of the best matches of the year at Heatwave, and now, people are talking about how great she has always been. She then says that she beat "the woman who would revolutionize women's wrestling." Kelani says that Kendal was in over her head when she sent her into the turnbuckle post and that Kendal is now in the hospital for vertigo, and that Wren Sinclair will take care of Kendal like the good little sidekick she is. After proclaiming that Kendal Grey will always be second-best compared to her, Kelani says that since she is now NXT Women's Champion after just one shot, no one will take the title from her or overlook her ever again. Jaida Parker shows up and says that she called her shot at Heatwave and overcame the biggest thorn in her side in Nattie and tapped her out, and in the last four months, she has upped her game to championship material. Jaida then says that she is now focused on the NXT Women's Championship and that she has already beaten Kelani before, then says she has her gear in the back and they can run it tonight. Kelani says that all Jaida does is talk and that Jaida is still three levels before her, then states that since she is a fighting champion, they can face off, just not tonight. She says Jaida does not tell her when to defend her title, and that she will see Jaida next week. Thea Hail then heads to the ring for the next match as Kelani Jordan makes her way out.

Thea Hail beats Nikkita Lyons.

It is announced that Kendal Grey has suffered a disturbance in her vestibular system after being sent into the exposed turnbuckle at Heatwave and that Kendal Grey is out for the foreseeable future on NXT.

Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews Tavion Heights. Tavion says he is feeling a wave of emotions right now, including betrayal and confusion, after losing his first title. Tavion says that he would never turn on Myles Borne. Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes show up and say that Tavion and Myles Borne were never friends, and Jackson Drake and Myka Lockwood show up and say they should give Tavion a bit of grace. Tavion threatens to take the NXT North American Championship from Jackson Drake for acting like he earned it, and Drake says that he has no problem getting an easy win on a former Olympian.

Zilla Fatu beats Tristan Angels. After the match, Birthright (Lexis King, Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, Uriah Connors, Charlie Dempsey, Arianna Grace) show up and welcome Zilla to NXT. Charlie Dempsey says that Zilla is destined for greatness like they are and that he is taken seriously, then offer Zilla a spot in Birthright so that together, they can take over NXT. Charlie Dempsey also says that Zilla will be bottom of the barrel in the Birthright, and Lexis King tells Zilla that he will be treated like family. Zilla refuses and bumps into Lexis on the way out, then superkicks him when Lexis turns him around. Zilla gets out of the ring quickly when the rest of Birthright come after him.

General Manager Robert Stone introduces Grayson Waller to the ring. Grayson says that Stone has a bonafide superstar as his champion and that Vic Joseph should be grateful he talks about him every week, then says that the NXT Championship is the greatest accomplishment of his WWE career. Grayson says he only has himself to think after coming back to NXT and defeating his demons as well as getting in the best shape of his life, then says he forced the world to listen. He says that redemption season is just beginning, then wants to know who will be the first to knock him off his pedestal, mocking his Heatwave opponents in the process, when all of a sudden, Saquon Shugars shows up. Saquon tells Grayson to watch himself before he rocks his dome like he did Dion Lennox, then Cruz Montana shows up in the crowd and says he is ready for him, as Grayson did not beat three weeks ago or at Heatwave. EK Prosper shows up and says he has a taste for gold and that he will keep swinging for the fences, then Mason Rook shows up and threatens to beat Grayson up for disrespecting the locker room. Tony D'Angelo shows up and says nobody else has a claim for the NXT Championship, saying that he kept the men's division together with his bare hands and that he never got his one-on-one match. Keanu Carver shows up and proposes that Robert Stone make a six-man tag match next week, with the winners in a Triple Threat Match to decide a #1 contender. Stone says there are five people, but Keanu gets in the ring to make himself the sixth person after telling Stone he has the biggest decision of his life to make. Stone makes the match official, then all six men not named Grayson Waller in the ring brawl with each other as Grayson gets away and watches from the announce table to end the show.
