Rebel Heart - Dynamite recap for September 9, 2026

In Memoriam: "The Butcher" Andy Williams, 1977 - 2026.

It's time for The Waiting Room. Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. tells Rebel (while still calling her "Reba") that her strength has inspired everyone, then brings out Persephone. Persephone thanks Britt, then says that Thunder Rosa is holding a CMLL title hostage and that she will drag her, Hyan and Maya World to the underworld before Britt introduces Hikaru Shida. Hikaru Shida says that she used to hate Britt and Rebel, but now she hates Thunder Rosa even more, and that it is time that they brought their dungeon back. Britt Baker says that Thunder Rosa will be overshadowed and embarrassed all over again. As Britt, Shida and Persephone leave, Rebel notes that Britt forgot her glove.

Swerve Strickland and The New Level (Kofi and "Awesome" Austin Creed) retain the AEW World Tag Team Championships against The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong). After the match, The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona) and The Lethal Twist (Jay Lethal, "Vanilla Baby" Blake Christian, "Big Shotty" Lee Johnson) show up, with Ricochet disappointed that they had trouble with a trio they already beat and that they could easily beat them for the AEW World Trios Championships. He also notes that Bishop Kaun's shoulders were not all the way down when they lost the title and that The New Level are only champions because they are friends with Swerve before deciding that The Demand and The Swirl will get rid of them themselves. All of a sudden, "Hangman" Adam Page and Brodido (Brody King and Bandido) show up and even the numbers game, and The Demand and The Swirl back off. Hangman and Brodido personally hand the Trios titles back to Swerve and The New Level.

We hear from Steven Borden and Darby Allin. Steven Borden says "Why now?" before saying it is because of fear, as he has been in his father's shadow his whole life. He says that night ignited something out of him that he had run from his entire life, and that he called Darby Allin after realizing he could either keep running away or face it head-on. Darby says people think Borden is not ready, but he knows what Borden is capable of, saying that he is "the first Steven Borden" and not the next Sting.

AEW acknowledges the passing of Andy Williams aka The Butcher.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews The Don Callis Family (Don Callis, "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander, Mark Davis, "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher, "The Jet" Kevin Knight). Josh Alexander says Steven Borden has something to prove, but so does he, as he has been on the shelf for over five months, and Mark Davis says that he and Alexander will decimate Darby Allin and Borden. Don Callis says there is nothing like a well-oiled tag team working like a family, and Fletcher says that he and Knight worked well together. Knight says The Young Bucks may be the best of all time, but they have never faced them. Kazuchika Okada shows up and says he is glad that Fletcher finally sees the value in family as Fletcher and Knight leave.

Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D., Hikaru Shida and Persephone beat Hyan, Maya World and Thunder Rosa in a trios match. During the match, Rebel shows up and brings the glove to Britt, who then makes Hyan to the Lockjaw. After the match, Britt rides off with Rebel in Rebel's wheelchair.

We see a video package for AEW Together regarding the fight against ALS.

Andrade el Idolo retains the AEW National Championship against The Beast Mortos. After the match, Andrade says he will continue to defend the AEW National Championship every week, and that while The Beast Mortos is a good wrestler, he is not good enough to beat him. Andrade is then suddenly attacked by The Dogs (Gabe Kidd, Clark Connors, David Finlay), and Gabe Kidd says that The Dogs are always one step ahead of Andrade. Kidd clocks Andrade just before Will Ospreay shows up and fights The Dogs single-handedly, clearing the ring. Jon Moxley and "The Problem" Marina Shafir show up just before The Dogs can get back in the ring, and Moxley guests on commentary for the next match as Gabe Kidd leaves and Andrade el Idolo forces Clark Connors to the back.

Will Ospreay beats David Finlay in an AEW World Championship Eliminator Match.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "Hangman" Adam Page and Brodido (Brody King and Bandido). Brody King wants to know if Hangman is still in the hunt for the World Trios Championships, and Hangman says that while he did not anticipate it at first, he needed it, and he still does. He says that the three of them are still a trio. Brodido agrees, saying the titles belong to them, then the three of them leave for some drinks.

Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

Darby Allin and Steven Borden beat The Don Callis Family ("The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander and Mark Davis).

"The Toxic Spider" Thekla shows up on the stage. Thekla says she does not need a championship for a celebration and that the party follows her wherever she goes, and says that unlike Mercedes Moné, she did not grow up as a fangirl and was playing in a band in Vienna, Austria until she saw a man being beaten with a raw chicken carcass and thought she could do that, so she did it and did it better than everyone else. As Thekla hopes that the AEW Women's World Championship still tastes like sex, drugs and rock 'n roll, Mercedes shows up in the crowd and says that Thekla can be as toxic as she wants, she cannot do it like her. Mercedes says that Thekla does not scare her, then tells Thekla to call her "Big D. Moné" and to ask Willow Nightingale how it tastes. Thekla calls Willow "the biggest dumb bitch and the worst Women's World Champion in AEW history" and says that Willow got lucky when she won her title only to fumble it at Wembley Stadium. She says that she would piss on Willow's clouds and rainbows if Willow were here, then Willow suddenly shows up and gets in the ring only for Thekla to leave it.

We hear from The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Daniel Garcia, PAC, "The Problem" Marina Shafir) and Gabe Kidd. PAC tells Moxley he always told he could not trust Will Ospreay, and Gabe Kidd is surprised that Moxley is showing Ospreay respect. Ospreay shows up, and Marina Shafir has to hold Gabe Kidd back before Moxley stands up and Ospreay tells him that he asked for their match because Moxley is the only person to pin him this year. He then warns Moxley that he is coming at him with a gameplan and that he knows what it takes to stop a Death Rider. Moxley says Ospreay has it all figured out, and Ospreay tells Moxley he will see him in Chicago, Illinois.

Actor, screenwriter and director Arian Moayed is seen in the front row before the next match.

The Don Callis Family ("The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher and "The Jet" Kevin Knight) beat The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) in a tag team tables match after FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Big Stoke stop Nick Jackson before he can put Kyle Fletcher through a table with a top rope splash, allowing Fletcher to put Nick through the table with an avalanche brainbuster for the win. After the match, FTR and Knight attack Nick Jackson. Matt Jackson jumps in, but he falls victim to the Shatter Machine. Darby Allin and Steven Borden run to the ring before FTR can put Matt Jackson through a table. The show ends with The Young Bucks shaking hands with Darby Allin and Steven Borden.

We hear from Willow Nightingale, who says that she and Mercedes Moné did everything they could to win at All In. Willow then says she is not making excuses and is getting back up and continuing to fight, as some people want her to mean it when she says it. Willow says she will get the AEW Women's World Championship back, then says she has heard what Mercedes and "The Toxic Spider" Thekla have had to say and wonders what they will have to say to her face.

"Switchblade" Jay White says that they are gold-less after All, then mentions the debut of The New Level. Juice tells "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher and "The Jet" Kevin Knight to be ready, as he and Ace Austin are so close that Austin knows what deodorant he is wearing (which is none). Austin says tonight will be as embarassing for Fletcher and Knight as All In was.

In backstage footage from after Dynamite, The Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor) want to fight The Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross) one more time at All Out with the women's tag titles on the line in a Chicago Street Fight.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita and The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong). Roderick Strong leaves as Kyle O'Reilly says that none of them are done until they all have a backpack full of gold. Takeshita questions his status in The Conglomeration before saying that he will not give up, either.

Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. guests on commentary for the next match.

Persephone retains the TBS Championship against VertVixen. After the match, Persephone continues to attack VertVixen. Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. is about to put the Lockjaw on VertVixen when Maya World show up and brings Thunder Rosa with her to the ring. Britt and Persephone retreat.

Backstage, we hear from The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona). Ricochet says that All In was a disaster for them after they were upstaged by Swerve Strickland and The New Level (Kofi and "Awesome" Austin Creed). Bishop Kaun says that The New Level is at "a new level behind Swerve," and Toa Liona says that the rookies need to pay their dues, and says Swerve and The New Level got lucky.

Andrade el Idolo retains the AEW National Championship against Gabe Kidd. After the match, Andrade says that with the Casino Gauntlet contract, it is only a matter of time before he is AEW World Champion.

After the match, Andrade says he is the proud holder of the AEW National Championship, but he wants more, and he is going to win the Casino Gauntlet Match at All In and become AEW World Champion. He says that he wants to win this for himself, but for all of Mexico, and asks those who think he cannot do it "How you know?" All of a sudden, MJF appears for the first time since Beach Break, and he comes out from behind and hits Andrade from behind with his custom AEW World Championship belt before taking the Dynamite Diamond Ring back from him and knocking Andrade out with it. MJF attacks Andrade further on the entrance ramp before tossing him to the side, then demands Andrade be removed from the arena before declaring himself an American hero and the best professional wrestler in the world. He then says that he is the champion, saying that he had Kenny Omega dead to rights before "that talentless hack" Will Ospreay got involved, and now Kenny Omega gets to walk around with a toy belt and head into a main event that was his. MJF then says that he always gets what he wants, and mentions a match to decide the #2 entry for the Casino Gauntlet Match, which he says he will win before dogwalking Andrade, winning the contract and doing what he did last time. He then says that his custom championship is the only title that should be recognized and that the only champion who she should be recognized is himself, and that he will prove that he is "the one true champion."

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for July 29, 2026

We see backstage footage from Redemption where The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir) watch as Kenny Omega hits the One Winged Angel on Will Ospreay to end the show. He says that Omega is not Ospreay's friend and that he needs to take the AEW World Championship from Omega. He also says that Ospreay is "truly on death ground."

Backstage, Renee Paquette tries to interview Will Ospreay when The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir) show up. Moxley approaches Ospreay, and when Garcia says something to Ospreay, Ospreay pops him with an elbow. Moxley has to hold PAC back, then asks Ospreay if he is sure he wants to do that. Ospreay tells Moxley that he does not pull the trigger for him, then hands the Death Riders patch back to Moxley and says he is out. Moxley then tells Ospreay that he has it all figured out, and allows Ospreay to pass through while helping Garcia up. "Hangman" Adam Page then suddenly shows up, having noticed what has just happened, and says that while he will not stick his nose in his business, he does ask Ospreay to ask him if he needs anybody. Ospreay says that United Empire is not happy with him and that The Death Riders will be breathing down his neck, and that he cannot trust Kenny Omega, and while he appreciates the help, he has to do this on his own. Hangman stops Ospreay, and tells him that he is the best he has ever been in the ring with, and wants to know if Ospreay believes he is the best. He tells Ospreay that he has this, and Ospreay thanks Hangman.

Andrade el Idolo retains the AEW National Championship against "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne and "Jungle" Jack Perry. After the match, Tony Schiavone interviews Andrade el Idolo. Andrade says he feels "tranquilo," because he screwed MJF and Don Callis, then says he will fight anyone and be the best National Champion ever.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews The Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor). The Brawling Birds agree that The Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross) talk too much and have been avoiding them for far too long. Jamie Hayter then challenges Athena, Billie Starkz and Diamanté to a tag team match on Collision before Alex Windsor tells The Divine Dominion to be ready to brawl.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews The Don Callis Family. "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher says that he retained his title at Redemption without anyone's help and that his title will stay in the family. Don Callis says they may have taken some losses, but Mark Davis is angrier than he has ever been and he looks forward to what happens. "The Jet" Kevin Knight admits he lost, but he faces the best, and it will not be the last time he main events a pay-per-view. After Knight notes that he will take time to focus on the little things including the fact he is champion, he notes that Fletcher and "Speedball" Mike Bailey are tied up. After Fletcher tells Knight to focus on keeping his own title, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada shows up and says the International Championship will stay in the family, then leaves.

Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

"Speedball" Mike Bailey and Brodido (Bandido and Brody King) beat The Don Callis Family ("The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher, "The Machine" Brian Cage, Jake Doyle) in a trios match after hitting the Ultima Weapon on Jake Doyle's back and getting the stack-up pin on a Sunset Flip.

We see footage of Renee Paquette interviewing Adam Copeland, Christian Cage and The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) from earlier today. Nick says that The Young Bucks are already planning to travel with their families to All In so they can see this match. Both teams recognize each others' influence, and agree that they never thought they would face each other. Christian Cage says they did not come back to do a "greatest hits" tour and that he and Copeland plan to be the best tag team of two generations. Matt says The Young Bucks are still working on their legacy while Copeland and Christian have had two careers. Matt says they lost the tag team titles two years ago and have been clawing back to the top since, Copeland says they have been told for seventeen years that they would never do this again. After Matt says they will win the tag team titles for a fourth time, Christian Cage wants to know if The Young Bucks will be able to lift themselves up to the next level before saying he and Copeland will win. Copeland says that he and Christian are doubted despite everything they have done for the industry, and Matt says that they are still doubted for how they wrestle, even though they have done this for a long time.

Chompy the Shark shows up for the blurb for Discovery's Shark Week.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Willow Nightingale in the ring. After a massive amount of streamers flood the ring and the fans chant for Willow, Willow is choked up from the support and says that she is living her dream before thanking the fans for being there even when there were a lot of doubters. She mentions winning the TBS title and becoming an inaugural Women's World Tag Team Champion earlier this year, then thanks her mother for getting her out of a funk when she got hurt, which led to her getting back and becoming Women's World Champion. Willow says "If life has been kicking you around, don't give up. Keep fighting, keep pushing through, because sometimes...sometimes, the comeback is even better than the dream." All of a sudden, Mercedes Moné shows up with a contract in her hands and says she is here for business, and tells her to sign the contract for their match at All In. Willow lays the contract on Mercedes' chest to sign it, which starts a verbal confrontation. After Renee says it is official and leaves, Willow asks Mercedes what her problem is before chalking it up to her holding the Women's World Championship. Mercedes says that one thing she hates most about Willow is not her smile or the fact that the fans love and adore him, it is that every milestone Willow has is written all over her story. She asks if Willow knows how that feels as the fans chant "shut the fuck up," before proclaiming that she will end Willow's fairy tale at All In, as she would be nothing without her and the fans only cheer for her because she stood across the ring for her. Mercedes then wants Willow to admit that she made her, then says she will take her smile along with her title. Willow and Mercedes argue, then The Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross) show up, making this a three-on-one brawl. After Mercedes hits Willow with a chop block, The Divine Dominion hit a choke slam, then The Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor) show up and force Mercedes and The Divine Dominion to retreat.

Jon Moxley retains the AEW Continental Championship against Komander by submission with a sleeper hold. Before the match, it is announced that Collision will air tomorrow night on a special night at 7 PM Eastern/6 PM Central.

Backstage, Mick Foley interviews The Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin). Ace Austin says that they have big problems, and Colten Gunn says that they were screwed by The Dogs (Clark Connors and David Finlay) and The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garcia), and "Switchblade" Jay White is not even here. Juice Robinson challenges The Death Riders and The Dogs to a four-on-four tag team match on Collision.

The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona) beat The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong) to become the AEW World Trios Champions after The Lethal Twist (Jay Lethal, "Vanilla Baby" Blake Christian, "Big Shotty" Lee Johnson) attack The Conglomeration behind the referee's back. After the match, The Demand and The Lethal Twist attack The Conglomeration, then Brody King shows up only to be overwhelmed. All of a sudden, "Hangman" Adam Page shows up with a barbed wire chair and clears the ring. Jay Lethal tries to take the chair only to cut himself, and Jay Lethal soon gets laid out with a Buckshot Lariat.

We hear from The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir). Wheeler Yuta says it is them against the world every night, and now The Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin) wants to blame them for their failures. PAC says they will see The Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin) on Collision. Garcia says that PAC was right, especially about Will Ospreay, and that Ospreay has always been running away from the grind, especially when he tried to leave them. He says there is a hard way in and a harder way out. Moxley says that all of the morality police are out and that they meet people where they are at, then says the Continental Championship exemplifies what the sport is all about. He says he will walk into the unknown and into the fire with the Continental Cup, and if this is where his title reign ends, so be it.

Tony Schiavone introduces Kenny Omega to the ring. Omega is soon interrupted by Will Ospreay, and Omega is more than happy to see him, as he showed Ospreay how he felt at Redemption by hitting him with a One Winged Angel hoping he would get it, but now he has to get to the "tell" part. Omega says he cares about Ospreay and cares the world for him and wants the world for him, and mentions the promise they made to do their best and become champions. He says he put their friendship before the title every time, as it brought him joy to see him succeed. He then says that Ospreay repaid him by telling him that he gave up on himself, and says Ospreay has no idea how deep that cut before calling the AEW World Championship a declaration that he never gave up. Omega says that Ospreay was, is and never will be one to talk down to him, and while he tried to warn him about The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir), Ospreay thought he knew better and head to learn the hard lesson himself, and asks Ospreay how it feels now. Ospreay says he came back too early from his neck injury, because all he thought about was revenge, and when he finally had it, it slipped through his fingers, and he lost his confidence. He apologizes for letting the crowd down, and that he had no friends to turn to, including Omega. He says that the guy who took away his old life and the guy he had so much hatred for gave him a new life and an opportunity, and saw Jon Moxley as the guy who would take him where he always wanted to be. Ospreay admits he liked being a Death Rider, as it made him feel like his old self again and he felt like he had killers with him. He says that while he understands The Death Riders' protectiveness, he does not share their philosophy or Jon Moxley's tactics, and when they tried to do to Omega what they did to him, he could not let that happen to Omega. Omega says he did not forget, and that when he felt the chair around his neck and felt that he would have to accept his fate, he heard the crowd and felt the energy, and knew that Ospreay would save him. He says that when he finally saw Ospreay, he saw him with the AEW World Championship and the bag at his feet, and concluded that Ospreay wanted to suffocate him with the bag before accusing Ospreay of setting a trap. When Ospreay tries to defend himself, Omega slaps him. Omega continues to slap him as he asks Ospreay what he is to him now, saying that when Ospreay is put in the pressure burner, he always crumbles. Ospreay finally punches back and nearly hits Omega with a Hidden Blade, then says that as much as he respecst Omega, he will kick the shit out of him the moment he puts his hands on him. He says that he has filled in whenever Omega was not here, and that he has earned his way to the World title and spent his neck to get it, and calls Omega a mountain he has wanted to climb for ten years. He compares their match to the tie-breaking penalty kicks in a football game, then says that he can pull the trigger and that he wants Omega at his best so there are no excuses, and when he does finally pull the trigger, Omega will see it coming.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for July 15, 2026

In backstage footage from earlier today, we hear from Daniel Garcia and Will Ospreay. They are training with Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta as Jon Moxley shows up and tells everyone to get ready. Claudio, Garcia and Yuta leave, then Moxley tells Ospreay that most of the work is done and his neck has healed. Moxley says that people make simple things so complicated, and that when the moment comes, they hesitate. He tells Ospreay that he has earned this, and tells him that there will be times where he will have to make some hard decisions. Moxley says this is not a hard decision, and when he has the moment, he will not hesitate; he will pull the trigger.

Adam Copeland and Christian Cage retain the AEW World Tag Team Championships against The Death Riders (Wheeler Yuta and Daniel Garcia) after Yuta removes a top turn buckle only for Christian to kick Garcia in the groin behind referee Bryce Remsburg's back, which allows Christian to send Yuta upwards into a Spear by Copeland to win and retain. After the match, The Dogs (Clark Connors and David Finlay) and Claudio Castagnoli get in the ring and attack Copeland and Christian, then The Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin) run towards the ring to fight Claudio and The Dogs off. "Switchblade" Jay White shows up late as David Finlay rears back with his shillelagh, taking the shillelagh away from Davis and scaring him out of the ring. Christian confronts Jay White as Switchblade has the shillelagh in his hands, and Jay White hands the shillelagh to Copeland. This leads to a truce between the tag champs and The Bang Bang Gang. Meanwhile, David Finlay demands his shillelagh back as he watches from the crowd.

We hear from Andrade el Idolo as he is on the beach. Andrade says that he is free from his past and ready to become an AEW World Champion.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Andrade el Idolo. Andrade says he will battle every member of The Don Callis Family, and if he has to take all their championships, he will do it, as he will be an AEW World Champion. Andrade then pulls out a red jewelry box with a Dynamite Diamond Ring in it, saying he got it from a good friend. When Renee asks if the good friend is Will Ospreay, Andrade says "How you know?"

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong). The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona) soon show up and make it known they want the AEW World Trios Championships.

Andrade el Idolo beats Jake Doyle to earn a shot at Mark Davis and the AEW National Championship. After the match, Mark Davis shows up and confronts Andrade, but Andrade puts his Dynamite Diamond Ring on. Mark Davis steps back before Andrade can punch him with the ring.

Tony Schiavone introduces Kenny Omega into the ring for a championship celebration. Omega is soon joined by The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson), and Nick Jackson is carrying something in what looks like a light brown bag. Matt Jackson talks their and Omega's nearly 20-year friendship and how Omega won the big one all by himself and proved that he is still the best professional wrestler on the planet. Matt then admits that MJF's custom Burberry belt peeves him, and Nick pulls the original AEW World Championship with the black leather strap out of the light brown bag to hand to Omega. Omega says it has been over 1100 days since he last held the AEW World Championship, and admits that he was not sure if he would ever hold it again. He says that as much as he made a promise to himself, it took his friends, his family and his fans believing in him to keep him from giving up on himself. Omega says this was not supposed to happen, and yet, here we are with less than 50 days remaining until Wembley Stadium. He says that as much as he would like to say he is ready, there is still work to do. Omega says that the fans will see the best Kenny Omega that has ever been in AEW before Will Ospreay shows up and heads to the ring. Ospreay asks The Young Bucks if he could speak with Omega alone, which The Young Bucks allow before heading to the back. Ospreay says it is good to see Omega as AEW World Champion again. Ospreay admits he thought that Omega gave up on himself and knew that Omega had to believe in himself, and that when he wrestled MJF, he did not give up once. He says that it will heat up on the way to All In, and says that for ten years, Omega has been his hero and he has watched Omega wrestle around the world as Omega inspired him to be one of the best in the world. Ospreay says that when he thinks of AEW, he thinks of Omega, and that he has always wanted to be a fraction of what Omega is. He then says that he is locked in, and that the two of them will keep it going and show everyone why they are in the position they are in. Ospreay says that this is a dream come true of "Goku and Vegeta fighting it out," and at All In, they will show that AEW is where the best wrestle. Suddenly, "The Jet" Kevin Knight arrives as Omega and Ospreay are about to shake hands. Knight says that he and Omega have some talking to do, and tells Ospreay to leave. Ospreay is about to leave when Omega says Ospreay can stay, and Knight congratulates Omega on becoming AEW World Championship before stating he is still owed a World title shot. He says that "Maxwell Jacob Fraudman" is not here to give him that shot, but Omega is here and he is here to collect. Knight then asks what a god is to a non-believer, as he is ready to become a double champion, and challenges Omega for the AEW World Championship at Redemption. Omega notes that Knight is trying to hold him to a promise MJF made to him, and says that while he is not going to do that, he will give Knight a shot at the title anyway due to the potential that he saw in him. Omega says that he had "it" and had the undeniable factor" and "looked the part," and while Knight was hungry, that was where it ended, as Knight had to align himself with Don Callis. He says he would be a hypocrite if he told everyone here tonight that he did not believe in Callis' siren song and that Callis would lead him to the promised land, as he held the AEW World Championship because of him. He says that nobody believed in that version of him, and that his self-worth fell right down the toilet with Callis. Omega tells Knight he does not need Callis, and that when he believes in Knight, he says the same words that others have said about Knight. He tells Knight that he could have it all on his own with Callis, and while Knight can say what he will about MJF, MJF was not a fraud, as he still defended the title every week and was a man of his word. Omega then says the only fraud he sees is Knight. He says that Knight is not being himself, and that what he is saying is not coming from his heart, which he still believes has some good in it. Omega then says he wants "The Jet," not "Don Callis' lap dop," and he wants Knight to do it on his own. This leads to a "lap dog" chant, and Knight says that while Omega makes a good claim, there is no goodness - only greatness - left in his heart before he hits Omega with the microphone and deftly avoids a Hidden Blade from Ospreay only to get jumped by Darby Allin. "The Machine" Brian Cage shows up and attacks Darby before calling out the rest of The Don Callis Family.

He tells Omega that he can either waste his time or he can beat it out of him, and Omega tells Darby he will leave it to him. Darby leaves, then Jon Moxley shows up and says that Darby is right and that some people are what they are and cannot pretend to be anything else even if they try.

Hayter tells the fans that The Brawling Birds will not let them down, and Windsor says they will beat anyone to prove they are the best women's tag team in AEW.

Fletcher says he is "a genetic anomaly" and "the picture-perfect performer," and announces that as of today, he is 100% cleared for in-ring competition.

Moxley says he will do what he always does and wrestle and fight his way out of this, and put every ounce of sweat, effort and will into winning the tournament, as it is what AEW was built on.

He says that it is not too late for Paul Wight to change his mind, as Jericho will try to use Wight as he tried to use Callis. When Wight refuses to respond, Callis says he has seen "a scared giant," then says he has buried two giant and is willing to bury a third.
