Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for July 22, 2026

Backstage, we hear from Will Ospreay and Kenny Omega. Ospreay announces that they and Jon Moxley are all on the same team, and mentions that he and Omega are undefeated as a. Ospreay mentions Omega having a bit match and reminds Omega not to overdo it, and Omega does the same thing for Omega. Moxley suddenly shows up and says that there is no tension in the room, then leaves. Omega then leaves the room so Ospreay can prepare.

"The Jet" Kevin Knight retains the TNT Championship against Darby Allin. During the match, Knight shoves Darby into referee Paul Turner, knocking Turner out when the back of Turner's head hits the ropes. Knight brings the TNT Championship into the match to use it as a weapon, and while his first attempt is thwarted with a Scorpion Deathdrop, Knight is able to nail Darby when Darby goes for a Coffin Drop off the top rope. Knight hits Darby with a coast-to-coast drop kick before hitting Darby with the UFO Splash to win and retain. After the match, "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher and "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada make their way to the ring for the next match.



Renee Paquette interviews The Don Callis Family in the ring. Mark Davis says the only way he has a match on Sunday is if Andrade el Idolo can peel himself off the pavement where he left him. "The Jet" Kevin Knight says he will become "Jet Two Belts" at Redemption after breaking Darby Allin and a defense record once held by Kyle Fletcher. He also says he did it without the family. Fletcher hopes that Knight becomes a double champion, then says he does not need the help of the family to defend his title, either. He then says he will prove it by talking to Tony Khan and ensuring everyone is banned from ringside in his match with Bandido on Sunday. Fletcher says that everyone is also banned from ringside right now when he and "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada wrestle Brodido (Brody King and Bandido) next. The family heads to the back, while Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.



Brodido (Brody King and Bandido) beats The Don Callis Family ( "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher and "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada) after Okada inadvertently lays out Fletcher. After the match, Fletcher yells at Okada while Okada begs for forgiveness, then Don Callis sics Fletcher, Mark Davis and Lance Archer on Brodido only for Andrade el Idolo to even the numbers and force them to retreat.

Mick Foley heads to the ramp for a face-to-face meeting between Willow Nightingale and "The Toxic Spider" Thekla. Thekla is introduced first, followed by Willow Nightingale. Thekla is briefly accompanied by Julia Hart and Skye Blue. Thekla announces that Triangle of Madness (Julia, Skye, Thekla) are Artist of Stardom Champions before Willow is introduced. Willow says it is nice to see Thekla face-to-face as opposed to being hit from behind with a cheap shot, and Thekla says that Willow's positivity is a facade and that she is "poisoned inside." Thekla says that she will beat the poison out of Willow and expose how ugly she really is, but Willow says that Thekla's toxicity is a facade and that Thekla talks big because she feels so small. Willow says that Thekla's swagger has made her a double champion, but the AEW World Women's Championship is all she cares about and that Thekla is a shortcut for her to get to it. Mick Foley admits that he sees himself in Willow, and Thekla tells Mick Foley to shut up before Willow tells her that she is "acting like a dumb bitch now" before acknowledges the similarities between her and Mick Foley. She says that she is capable of doing sick and twisted things to become champion and that she will make sure she walks out of Redemption as champion. Thekla is impressed, and tells Willow to smile anyway once she has her beaten before hitting her with one of her gloves. Mick Foley gets between Thekla and Willow, but that does not stop Thekla from hitting Willow in the face with a microphone. She then takes off her leather belt, but Willow hits Thekla with the belt before she can strike.

"Hangman" Adam Page beats Marty Snow in seconds with the Buckshot Lariat. After the match, Hangman says he has put his entire future at stake for the chance to do what MJF's parents should have done thirty years ago and taught him a lesson, as for years, as he has lacked a basic human conscience, and in Texas Death, he has no conscience. He warns MJF that he will rip and tear him and that he will only let him lie when he is finished with him. He hopes that does not scare MJF as he is a world champion, and since MJF is willing to punch someone with the Dynamite Diamond Ring, he dares MJF to get in the ring and show what good it will do for him.As MJF tells Hangman not to make him whup his ass, too, "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher, Mark Davis and "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada show up from out of nowhere and attack Hangman.

He tells Swerve to get in the ring so he can prove it tonight. Prince Nana shows up and says he hears Brody King loud and clear, but asks Brody if he wants to do this. Brody tells Nana to quit talking and bring out Swerve. Prince Nana introduces Swerve Strickland as "the real most dangerous man in AEW," and Swerve shows up in the ring attacking Brody from behind instead of going down the ramp. Swerve hits Brody with the House Call, then grabs his chain, wraps it around Brody's neck, chains it to the ropes, then leaves the ring, pulls back on the chain and chokes Brody out. Swerve says "a hit dog gon holla," then says he had to send a message to Kenny Omega and now has to send the same message to Brody, saying it is one thing to claim to be the most dangerous and another to actually be it. He tells Brody that he will see him at Revolution, then Bandido rushes to the ring. Swerve lets go of the chain and laughs before Bandido checks on Brody King.



We hear from The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir). Daniel Garcia asks Don Callis when he will stop picking fights he cannot win.

Marina Shafir tells "Timeless" Toni Storm to shoot from the hip for her sake. Jon Moxley says that nobody does it like The Death Riders and that nobody is willing to go as long and as far as them, and at Revolution, he and Takeshita are going as long and as far as it takes, and they will see this through all the way to the end.

FTR shows up, then Dax and Cash hug Ciampa before Dax welcomes an old friend in Ciampa to AEW, then says he could not think of a better way to be a top guy than surrounding one's self with top guys.

He hopes MJF is watching, because he will ruin any idea has has of a happy future, and tells MJF to pray that he does not win, for he will come after him and take his title.

FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Stokely Hathaway head to the ring. Dax says he has been wracking his brain trying to understand why The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) attacked them from behind only to realize that in 2016, they were the best tag team in the world and even coined the FTR name. He then says that The Young Bucks are now in second place behind them. Stokely says the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, which is where they are with The Young Bucks. He says that this pisses him off and that it all pisses him off that The Young Bucks shook hands with The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz and Myron Reed) and Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy) even though they forced Private Party out of the company. Stokely says there is hypocrisy in the situation and states that they hate their coworkers so much it is overwhelming.

"Hangman" Adam Page heads to the ring. He is soon joined by MJF. MJF makes it clear to Hangman that he hates his guts as well as everything about him and the fans actually thinking he is anywhere near his level and that he is the main character when it is really MJF. MJF also hates the "Cowboy Shit" chant and the fact that Hangman holds two wins over him, and says that Hangman is "a lucky shot" who is nowhere near better than him. He then says that something is off about Hangman and that he can smell it, and says that Hangman is in his own head after being at the top of the mountain twice only to crumble under pressure. MJF then proposes that if Hangman were to become world champion and crumble a third time, he would be exposed as a fraud, and while he feels Hangman is a lucky shot, he is all out of bullets, and he looks forward to ending "the myth of Hangman and his cowboy shit." Hangman says that the fans carried him to the World Championship, especially as he beat the dogshit out of MJF. He says that if anyone is a lucky shot, it is the man who had a guaranteed shot and sat on it until he waited until the last second, kicked him in the balls, and collected the spoils of greater men. Hangman says that as much as MJF hates him, he hates MJF worse, not just because of his lies and deceit, but because he has never met someone more like him. He says that MJF is desperate for love and acceptance and wants to make his mark, which reminds MJF of himself. He says that he wants to end this for good at Revolution, and that MJF also feels that they cannot have a regular wrestling match. Hangman tells MJF to think of a stipulation, then lets the fans think of what the match should be. MJF says Hangman is out of his mind if he wants something other than a regular wrestling match. Hangman says he knew MJF would says that because he is scared and a coward, and agrees to give his word that if he does not win, then he will never challenge for the World Championship ever again. MJF tells Hangman that he has a deal, but as far as his stipulation goes, he thinks things through, and he needs a week to think over his stipulation, as he does not shoot first and ask questions later like Hangman. Hangman then tells MJF that he already has his answer: Texas Death.



We hear from The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garcia). PAC says that The Don Callis Family is not like them, and challenges them to a match at Collision. Daniel Garcia says that "family" is just a title for The Don Callis Family and not something that they are willing to die for. Moxley says he is not done with Konosuke Takeshita and that at Revolution, there will be no time limit and that one person will get the other for as long as it takes.

Thunder Rosa says that since Statlander cannot wrestle, she is getting a piece of Thekla. Statlander warns Thunder Rosa that Thekla is dangerous.

"The Jet" Kevin Knight beats The Beast Mortos.



We see another vignette for Will Ospreay, who says that when he comes back, he will be better than ever.

Backstage, we hear from The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona). Ricochet says he has put "Jungle" Jack Perry back into the dirt and can move on to better things. Bishop Kaun wants to know where everybody's priorities lie, and Toa Liona says that they will take the AEW World Trios Championships on Collision. They then head back to the locker room only to find a knife on their door, hinting that Jack Perry may not be done with Ricochet.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for February 11, 2026

Tony Schiavone interviews Kenny Omega and Swerve Strickland face-to-face in the ring to start tonight's show. Omega is introduced first, followed by Strickland and Prince Nana. Swerve says he has stuff to get off his chest. He says that five years ago, Kenny Omega was on top of the world, and at that time, Omega held the AEW World Championship. He says that everyone wanted to face him, and when he himself made it to the top, Omega was nowhere to be found.Swerve admits that Omega has popped up now and then and even teamed with him, but Omega was either suspended or injured the rest of the time, and he considers Omega "a false prophet" while he is becoming the new one. He then says that Omega now wants to conveniently come back on top, and accuses Omega of using his power as Executive Vice President to do it, stating that he had to face The Young Bucks for the last few years and end their abuse of power. Swerve tells Omega that if he uses his power to step in front of him, then he will have to put him down. Omega says he never once called himself "The God of Professional Wrestling," as the fans were the ones to do that. Omega says that he takes that respect from the fans as a responsibility and that he must take the journey back to the top of the mountain the right way, and while AEW may be Swerve's house, the lights are on and no one is home without him. He says that Swerve believes in himself, and while he does not need to believe in him, all he has to do is ask for a fight. Omega tells Swerve that if he wants the match, they can have it right now. He then gives Swerve the chance to accept or yield. Swerve says his generation is already of Omega and that he is the most dangerous man in AEW, but Omega reminds Swerve that the most dangerous man in AEW right now is Brody King. Swerve says that if they do this, he will put him back in the hospital bad, and he will not be getting back up. Omega says that is not a bad idea, and slaps Swerve in the face. Swerve takes off his jacket and says that Omega has made his choice, and that whatever happens next is on him. Swerve hits Omega with a double leg takedown, and both men soon brawl, with Swerve giving Omega a beating on the outside at first before Omega fights back and takes the brawl into the crowd, metal folding chair in hand. Omega keeps swinging a chair at Swerve before fighting him near some of the lighting. Swerve hits Omega with a trash can before taking the brawl to the ramp. Omega goes for a One Winged Angel, but Swerve hits him in the head with a foreign object and puts him through a table.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Don Callis and "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher. Callis says Fletcher does not have the pressure, because his family gives the pressure, and that Fletcher will head back home as a champion. Fletcher says he lives for this pressure and looks forward to winning tonight and getting a hero's welcome, then asks Callis to let him do this alone tonight.

The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, PAC) beat The Don Callis Family ("The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita, "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander, Mark Davis) in a trios match.



Don Callis and Lance Archer guest on commentary for the next match.

He then announces that he will defend it in Sydney, Australia against anyone, because he is the greatest TNT Champion. Suddenly, Mark Briscoe shows up, saying that Fletcher went from a mop-headed young boy trying to figure things out to a two-time champion, then says he has a big mouth and that his ass may not be able to cash any checks. He then mentions that they both have three wins apiece against each other and that he is willing to give him home court advantage for Game 7. Fletcher admits he is tired of Mark Briscoe, and while he accepts his challenge, the seventh match deserves to be the biggest and the last. He says that whoever wins will be the very best, and if he wants Game 7, it will be in a ladder match.



We see a video package for Megabad (Penelope Ford and Megan Bayne) vs. The Babes of Wrath (Willow Nightingale and Harley Cameron) for the AEW Women's World Tag Team Championships at Grand Slam Australia.

After the match, "Timeless" Toni Storm and Luther show up in the luxury box, and Toni Storm says she has made peace with her life choices and that if Marina Shafir knocks her out cold, then she deserves to shave her head. She then says that she will then evolve into "the most beautiful bald bastard the world has ever seen." However, Toni says that if she wins, she will shave Shafir's hair so close to her skull that they will put a price tag on her and sell her at Spirit Halloween. As Toni calls Wheeler Yuta "the most annoying shit [she] has ever seen," Wheeler Yuta shows up and brings out Marina Shafir choking out Mina Shirakawa with Mother's Milk while Wheeler cuts a part of Mina's hair while Garcia puts Orange in a sleeper hold in the ring.

The wild card team in the next match is revealed to be Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy), who have not been seen in over a year.

Hook is seen watching from the luxury box during the match. After the match, FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Stokely Hathaway show up, and Dax says that FTR is the tag team of a generation, yet there was a time that he was once jealous of The Young Bucks. He says that The Young Bucks now sit comfortably in second place, and to be successful as FTR have ever been, The Young Bucks had to create their own company. When Dax keeps asking questions only to interrupt them, he gets superkicked, and so does Cash. Stokely almost gets superkicked, but The Young Bucks hand him the tag team titles instead.

Backstage, Mercedes Moné is met by Billie Starks, who hands the TBS Championship back to her before giving her a message from Momo Watanabe: enjoy holding the TBS Championship while it lasts, because at Revolution, she is taking it. Billie then throws a whole cup full of tea into Mercedes' face and runs off.

We hear from "Timeless" Toni Storm, who is in bed wearing a neck brace. She says that the nicest thing about being piledriven on the stage is waking up to panicked doctors and dozens of messages asking if she will ever walk again. She says that it gives one time to think if it was either all worth it or a complete waste of time, as her dreams have been haunted by a woman who will not let her wake up. Toni tells "The Glamour" Mariah May "Let's get lucid," as Mariah can pry the AEW Women's World Championship "from her cold, dead hips" while she leaves her soul at home. She also asks if Mariah wants the spotlight that drove her to her in the first place, and says she can give it to her. Toni then says that if Mariah liked Grand Slam Australia, then that show will be foreplay compared to the Hollywood ending that she wants. She says she does not want or need disqualifications, count-outs or rope breaks, and that no holds will be barred and falls will count anywhere. Toni hopes Mariah believes in God before ripping her neck brace off and proclaiming that Mariah will meet Her.

Queen Aminata beats Julia Hart. After the match, Brody King checks on Julia Hart, but he is attacked with the AEW Continental Championship belt by "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada, who then flips Brody King off.



We hear from Kenny Omega. Omega says he was out for an entire year wondering if he would ever wrestle again, and he had to keep hearing Don Callis talk about how "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita beat him twice in one week. He admits this got on his nerves and he is already pissed off, but what he plans to do to Takeshita is not about revenge, but about the International Championship, as whoever holds the belt is regarded as the best. He says that if Takeshita can beat him three times, then it is time for him to admit that Takeshita is better and that Takeshita is Callis' real meal ticket, and that he could never challenge for another championship again as the old him is gone. Omega then says that he has had an entire year to clear his mind, refocus, hone in on his training and sharpen all his dull points to make weaknesses into strengths after leaving his old friends behind and no longer having the baggage of being an Executive Vice President. He says that his focus is on the International Championship, not because of revenge, not because of Don Callis, and not because of Takeshita, and at Revolution, he is taking the title.

He also says that there is not a single man who measures up to him who has won the ROH World Television Championship, then Shane Taylor shows up. Shane Taylor says Silas Young may have bumped his head if he is something like that, as there has not been a more dominant Television Champion than himself, and if Silas needs correction to that fact, they can have a match next week and he will prove why he is the baddest champion anyone has ever seen.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Athena, who takes the microphone and says Yuka Sakazaki is looking for medical attention in Japan and still seeking matches there because she is afraid of her after she shoved her legs into the ring steps and hurt her more than anyone ever could, and yet Yuka is still wrestling in Japan and is not facing her. Athena says she is ready to whup her ass all over Los Angeles, California, and if Sakazaki "has the lady balls" to show up at Supercard of Honor, she is challenging her for the ROH Women's World Championship and planning on making her disappear.

The Embassy ("The Machine" Brian Cage, Joseph Kaun, Toa Liona) retain the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championships against Dalton Castle and The Boys (Brandon and Brent Tate), then continue to attack them after the match until AR Fox, Metalik and "All Heart" Blake Christian chase them out of the ring.

He then state there is no better way to throw their hats in the ring by beating former champions, and that they will see them and beat them in a Ring of Honor ring like they have beaten other team, then Davis counters the "Now!" chants by saying they will give Daniels and Sydal a rest so they can face them at their best. Fletcher then says at their best, nobody can beat Aussie Open, because they run the world. After Aussie Open leaves, Daniels says surprises happen everyday even in the new era of Ring of Honor, and while he and Sydal were tag team champions years ago, the difference between then and now and is that they have a lot of experience and they are still good looking. Daniels tells Aussie Open that if they are looking for a team who will kick their asses, they are willing to get that job done.

After the match, Yuta says he told everyone two weeks ago that The Blackpool Combat Club (Claudio Castagnoli, Jon Moxley, Yuta) has the best training in the world, then says it might as well be time to go for the teacher of the New Japan Los Angeles dojo as he sits down cross-legged and promises that he will not rest until he beats Katsuyori Shibata.

Backstage, Megan Harmon interviews The Institution ("Benevolent" Jack Banning, Divine, Honest).

The Allure (Angelina Love, Velvet Sky, "The Exotic Goddess" Mandy Leon) show up to start tonight's show. Velvet says that they brought credibility to women's wrestling before there was Ring of Honor and started a revolution before the evolution, and because of that, they are the most credible competitors to show up in Ring of Honor. She says that she has beaten some of the best the world has to offer, and Angelina boasts of doing the same and becoming a six-time women's champion. Angelina says that not only do The Allure know how to win, but they know how to make an impact, and that is why they chose to debut at G1 Supercard. Mandy tells all "the Twitter trolls hiding in their mothers' basements" that she is the foundation of Women of Honor, and without her, there would be no women's wrestling or Kelly Klein in ROH.

Both sides brawl before security show up to break them apart, and during the brawl, Jenny Rose is blinded with hairspray by Velvet Sky.
