He says that he is coming back to ROH and that he is going to stay in ROH.
Before the next match, "Smart" Mark Sterling brags about how The Premier Athletes (Tony Nese and Ariya Daivari) whipped Beef into shape, then says there is not a chance in hell that they could do the same for the fans.

Before the next match, Rocky "Azucar" Romero announces that The Don Callis Family has had nothing but success for the last few months, but he and Beretta have not had the success that the family holds. Romero then announces that Don Callis has provided them with an open contract for a fight for, as Trent Beretta, "one of those easy Ring of Honor wins." Beretta demands some enhancement talent, but gets Alex Zayne and Mance Warner instead.
The Don Callis Family (Rocky "Azucar" Romero and Trent Beretta) beat Alex Zayne and Mance Warner after Beretta punches Warner in the groin behind the referee's back prior to Strong Zero.

Satnam Singh beats Jacked Jameson.
Caprice Coleman chops it up with "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo.

She talks about how she has seen a lot of Jay Lethal's matches and how she trusts Jay Lethal for feedback on ideas. Purrazzo says that she hsa been working on creating a life for herself outside of wrestling by going for her master's degree and working with veterans' and first responders' organizations.

Athena says that Billie has tried to beat her, but has kept her in her place. She says that she tried to be a parent to her and have Billie's back, but when she tries things her way, she fails. She says that when she does listen, she succeeds.

When told that her greatest challengers are the ones that she has created, Athena says that this is by design, and that those who have stuck with her have survived the longest.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for May 6, 2026
Tony Schiavone is in the ring to start tonight's show. He addresses the passing of Ted Turner and his role of professional wrestling on national television and how it found a home on TBS and TNT. He talks about how Turner made National Wrestling Alliance and World Championship Wrestling destination video and how he was there early on, and how, thanks to Ted Turner, it lives on in Tony Khan, Warner Bros. Discovery and All Elite Wrestling. He says that everyone is here today because of Ted Turner, as does Sting, who was also part of NWA and WCW's rise on TBS and later TNT. Sting is introduced, and he heads to the ring. Schiavone links Ted Turner to him and Sting being friends all these years, and Sting calls Turner "an all-in billionaire who loved pro wrestling" who was completely committed and devoted to NWA and WCW, even when NWA and WCW were in the red, as he had deep pockets. He says that nobody would be here tonight, much less him, Darby Allin and the TBS and TNT Championships without Ted Turner. On the subject of tonight's show, Sting says he and Darby took a blowtorch to this place for three-and-a-half years. He says that it is a great night to see Darby Allin defend the world title, then calls Tony Kahn "another all-in billionaire who is keeping the ball rolling." Schiavone also mentions the Turner Techwood Mansions on the TBS and TNT Championships's side plates. Tonight's three-hour show is then deemed in honor of Ted Turner's memory, and Ted Turner is given a ten-bell salute. In memoriam: Ted Turner, 1938 - 2026.

In footage from earlier today, Daniel Garcia talks about their recent 15-hour plane trip back from Japan and how it is The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir) against the world. Will Ospreay acts as a base for Wheeler Yuta's sit-ups before Jon Moxley mentions the concept of "death ground," a situation from which one cannot escape and it is do or die. He says that if Ospreay cannot get his neck right, his wrestling career is over, and that it is a privilege for Ospreay to come all the way up the mountain to meet the last one percent. PAC then covers the camera up with his hand.
Before the next match, FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Stokely Hathaway are accompanied by RPG Vice (Rocky "Azucar" Romero and Trent Beretta), The Dogs (Clark Connors and David Finlay) and Tommaso Ciampa, while The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong) are accompanied by The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson), Adam Copeland and Christian Cage.
Orange Cassidy beats Dax Harwood in a Double Jeopardy Match.

After the match, everyone at ringside immediately starts brawling, and RPG Vice (Rocky "Azucar" Romero and Trent Beretta) are surrounded by Adam Copeland, Christian Cage, The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) and The Conglomeration. RPG Vice are laid out for their trouble, with Christian Cage kicking Rocky Romero in the groin.
We see a video package for Rush.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Chris Jericho, who is now more than furious after last week. He says that the time for talking is done, and it is now time to fight. He then says he will take his fight to the people, and takes the microphone and heads to the ring. Jericho says he is done with the three-on-one beatdowns and "the bullshit," then demands that Ricochet talk to him face-to-face, one-on-one, man-to-man in the ring right here and now. Ricochet shows up with Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona, and Ricochet tells Jericho he tried to do him a favor by telling him to leave, but says Jericho decided to be funny. He also says that the three of them can make Jericho's humiliation kink a reality right now, then admits he is getting tired of this and wants to know what he gets out of facing Jericho. Kaun whispers in Ricochet's ear, which gives him an idea. Ricochet challenges Jericho to a match that Jericho himself created, and that he not only wants to beat him with the "Rico-sault," but also beat him in a Stadium Stampede Match. He also says that Jericho will not be able to find four other tag team partners because nobody in AEW likes him, but Jericho accepts the challenge and says he will find four other partners, and if he cannot, he will take Ricochet's team on alone. Jericho then calls Ricochet bald and hits him with the microphone, then fights off both Kaun and Toa Liona before hitting Ricochet with the Judas Effect. Jericho goes for a Lionsault, but is punched out by Toa Liona. All of a sudden, The Hurt Syndicate (Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin) show up and run to the ring, causing Kaun and Toa Liona to retreat while carrying Ricochet to the back.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Mina Shirakawa and Harley Cameron. Harley does not know how to feel, but Mina says that Statlander may be trusted, Shida cannot be trusted, and they have a match to win.

We see a video package for Andrade el Idolo.
Backstage, we hear from JetSpeed ("The Jet" Kevin Knight and "Speedball" Mike Bailey). Speedball says that Kevin Knight will be a double champion, and Knight says that while he appreciates Darby Allin for being a fighting champion, Darby's body will give out and he will become the new champion.
Backstage, we hear from The Opps (Samoa Joe, "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata, Anthony Bowens). Samoa Joe says he put out an offer last week, but it is not being heard. He says that men like Jon Moxley are telling Will Ospreay what to think, but he wants Ospreay to think as he wants. He says that he sees the potential in and the tide rising for Ospreay, then asks how much of Ospreay will remain to become champion and says that with The Opps on his side, that could be a very long time. After stating that he has signed Hook up for a movie to give him a better opportunity to succeed, he says that he will do the same for Anthony Bowens and Katsuyori Shibata, then tells Ospreay the choice is his and that his intentions for him are clear. Samoa Joe says he will put his hand out one last time, and if it is not accepted, he will put out his fist.
Kris Statlander and Hikaru Shida beat Mina Shirakawa and Harley Cameron.
We hear from Prince Nana and Swerve Strickland. Swerve says that he told everyone two months ago that he was after power, and that real power is being the one who decides who eats and who starves. He says that from the most dangerous to the most violent, all the way to the most wanted, more power means more fear and more control, and there is nothing more dangerous than a man who wants power, and he wants it all.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Brodido (Brody King and Bandido). Bandido says that Swerve Strickland is right and that he is the most wanted, and if Swerve wants him, he is easy to find. Brody King tells Swerve that it is one thing to mess with him, but if Swerve messes with his friends, there will be hell to pay.
Darby Allin retains the AEW World Championship against "The Jet" Kevin Knight with a Coffin Drop on Knight as Knight is draped on the top rope followed by another Coffin Drop back in the ring.

Maximum Carnage - Dynamite recap for January 14, 2026
Backstage, we hear from Samoa Joe, who calls "Hangman" Adam Page's journey to win back the AEW World Championship "foolishness."

Swerve Strickland then warns MJF that if he wins and stays AEW World Champion, then he will have actually lost, for he and Hangman will be coming after him and he plans to become AEW World Champion again. All of a sudden, Kenny Omega shows up and enters the ring, stating that three of the greatest challengers for the AEW World Championship are right here, right now. He says that he, Swerve and Hangman have something to prove, and that he must prove that the nickname of "The God of Professional Wrestling" still means something, and if anyone still believes, then so does he. Omega says he must win a couple of matches first despite being an EVP, and regardless of whether he has to go through friend or foe, he is coming for the title. Hangman says that there are three men who want the AEW World Championship and that it is not a team effort, and if he and Omega cross paths, then hopefully the best man will win. Omega and Hangman shake hands. Hangman and Swerve leave, with Swerve none too thrilled about Omega's sudden appearance in the World title picture, then The Don Callis Family (Don Callis, Lance Archer, Rocky "Azucar" Romero, "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander) show up. Callis says he has always been a big fan of MJF, but he is questioning MJF's logic of associating with "a scumbag" like Omega. He then challenges Omega to a match with Josh Alexander. Omega admits he can barely hear Callis over the crowd, but if Josh Alexander wants a match with him, then he has a little bit of time tonight to make his record towards the World title more sparkling clean. Callis says that he and Omega have known each other for many years, but reminds him that he does what "Daddy" says and that "Daddy" decides when the matches happen, and says the match will happen next week because what he says goes. As The Don Callis Family leaves, Omega says that today was a very big first step and that the fans have bore witness to phase one of him become AEW World Champion again.

MJF retains the AEW World Championship against Bandido by submission after reverting from Salt of the Earth to a LeBell Lock as he keeps Bandido away from the ropes.

After the match, MJF admits that he laughed when everybody said that Bandido would become AEW World Champion, and that everyone was right about Bandido. He says that Bandido will be World Champion in AEW, which means he has to attack him, which he does. MJF hits Bandido with the World title before punching him, then chases the referee out of the ring before attempting to unmask Bandido. Brody King runs into the ring, and MJF immediately runs to the back. Brody King checks on Bandido and helps him up, then both men celebrate to end the show.

Swerve Strickland then warns MJF that if he wins and stays AEW World Champion, then he will have actually lost, for he and Hangman will be coming after him and he plans to become AEW World Champion again. All of a sudden, Kenny Omega shows up and enters the ring, stating that three of the greatest challengers for the AEW World Championship are right here, right now. He says that he, Swerve and Hangman have something to prove, and that he must prove that the nickname of "The God of Professional Wrestling" still means something, and if anyone still believes, then so does he. Omega says he must win a couple of matches first despite being an EVP, and regardless of whether he has to go through friend or foe, he is coming for the title. Hangman says that there are three men who want the AEW World Championship and that it is not a team effort, and if he and Omega cross paths, then hopefully the best man will win. Omega and Hangman shake hands. Hangman and Swerve leave, with Swerve none too thrilled about Omega's sudden appearance in the World title picture, then The Don Callis Family (Don Callis, Lance Archer, Rocky "Azucar" Romero, "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander) show up. Callis says he has always been a big fan of MJF, but he is questioning MJF's logic of associating with "a scumbag" like Omega. He then challenges Omega to a match with Josh Alexander. Omega admits he can barely hear Callis over the crowd, but if Josh Alexander wants a match with him, then he has a little bit of time tonight to make his record towards the World title more sparkling clean. Callis says that he and Omega have known each other for many years, but reminds him that he does what "Daddy" says and that "Daddy" decides when the matches happen, and says the match will happen next week because what he says goes. As The Don Callis Family leaves, Omega says that today was a very big first step and that the fans have bore witness to phase one of him become AEW World Champion again.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Brody King when Jon Cruz shows up and takes offense to Bandido attacking him, telling him to tell Bandido not to hit him ever again.

Brody King quickly beats Jon Cruz. After the match, Brody King tells Bandido that he wants him to beat MJF's ass from pillar to post, and that after tonight, it will be an honor to step in the ring as the first new AEW World Champion.
We get a video package chronicling the events leading up to tonight's main event of Bandido vs. MJF for the AEW World Championship.

The Rascalz (Trey Miguel, Zachary Wentz, Dezmond Xavier, Myron Reed) are coming soon to AEW.
MJF retains the AEW World Championship against Bandido by submission after reverting from Salt of the Earth to a LeBell Lock as he keeps Bandido away from the ropes. Bandido goes unconscious in the latter hold, and MJF wins and retains. After the match, MJF admits that he laughed when everybody said that Bandido would become AEW World Champion, and that everyone was right about Bandido. He says that Bandido will be World Champion in AEW, which means he has to attack him, which he does. MJF hits Bandido with the World title before punching him, then chases the referee out of the ring before attempting to unmask Bandido. Brody King runs into the ring, and MJF immediately runs to the back. Brody King checks on Bandido and helps him up, then both men celebrate to end the show.

Shelton and Dante shake hands, then MVP demands a round of applause for Shelton. MVP says Shelton does not need him to talk him up as his accomplishments speak for him, which leads to Jon Moxley. He gives credit where credit is due to Moxley for winning the Continental Championship, and while he considers Moxley a cult-like leader for The Death Riders (Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia, PAC, Marina Shafir), The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin) just wants to make money. MVP knows that Moxley loves pain and bleeding like a stuck pig, but calls Shelton "the apex predator" and declares that while Moxley is dangerous, Shelton is even more dangerous, as while Moxley is driven by ideology, he is not Shelton Benjamin. MVP says Moxley will get hurt very badly, because The Hurt Syndicate hurts people.

Collision Course - Collision recap for October 25, 2025
"Hangman" Adam Page heads to the ring to start tonight's show. He says that one dies the hero or lives long enough to be the villian, then addresses The Opps (Samoa Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs, "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata), saying The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta) may have hurt them, but never killed them, and that when they had the opportunity, The Opps cleared the way for someone to finally take the AEW World Championship from Jon Moxley, which he owes Samoa Joe for. He says that he gave Joe a shot at the AEW World Championship and told him what was going to happen, and while it took everything he had, he knocked Joe on his "big, burly ass" and beat him at WrestleDream. Hangman then says that Joe not only felt anger, but also embarrassment at being unable to beat him, and in that anger and embarrassment, The Opps stabbed him in the back. He tells The Opps that they have become the very thing they have fought against for so long and that they should have known better. He says that Joe should have known better than to think he could beat him and that The Opps should have known better than to make an enemy out of him. Hangman tells Joe that he is hunting him in response to Joe saying that he is hunting Hangman, as he is the World Champion and he is going to find him not when he is hurt or angry while off his game, but at the exact moment he decides to, and when he does, he will do far worse than embarass or beat Joe; he will ruin his entire life.
