Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for May 27, 2026

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

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

Spring Break Thru - Dynamite recap for April 15, 2026

Backstage, Renee Paquette manages to get an interview with MJF. MJF puts himself on a pedestal regarding his recent title defenses, including against Kenny Omega, then speaks with Don Callis, who apologizes about "the Andrade thing." He finds out from Callis that Darby Allin beat Andrade el Idolo and got a world title shot, then tells Callis that he owes him one. Renee has to interrupt, telling MJF that the world title match with Darby is not just tonight, but right now. MJF shows up angrily to the match, saying he is not taking part in an impromptu match that he found out about three seconds ago. He says that he has a lot of money and says that if something will not happen, it will not happen. MJF threatens to sue numerous people, including the fans, referee Aubrey Edwards, ring announcer Justin Roberts and even Warner Bros. Discovery, but that leads to a "Ring the bell!" chant that just angers MJF further. He says that his back hurts from wrestling for almost an hour against Kenny Omega three days ago, and says it would be a bad look if he wrestled with a back injury. He says he is doing Darby a favor, saying he is talented, but that fans like him because he is "like them." He says he is doing Darby a favor, saying he is talented, but that fans like him because he is "like them." MJF tells Darby that he is good, but not great, and is not championship material and not ready to be the AEW World Champion. Darby snatches the microphone from MJF and says it takes one night to turn the wrestling world on its head, and if he is not ready now, he will never be ready. He says he has done so much to represent the company, and talks about how he started his career ten miles from tonight's arena. As Darby demands the bell be rung, MJF begs Darby off. Bryan Danielson then relays a message from founder Tony Khan, saying that while he agrees with MJF, this match will be the main event. Also, if MJF refuses, he will be stripped of the AEW World Championship. Darby then tells MJF that tonight, he will beat his ass with a headlock takeover.

In backstage footage from after Dynasty, Tony Schiavone interviews Kenny Omega, who has nothing to say after his loss to MJF before heading into the trainer's room. He is met by Will Ospreay, and Omega says that the night did not go their way. Omega says he feels like he let everybody down, and while Ospreay tells Omega not to doubt himself, Omega admits he does not have much time in his career left before telling Ospreay that he has plenty of time and that it is all up to him now. Ospreay says he has been sad, dejected and crying for the last 40 minutes, but he still aims to be AEW World Champion, and he is not giving up on that dream. He tells Omega that he can still do it before telling him he has his back and leaving the room, saying that Omega is his hero. Omega then says that maybe he cannot give up and that maybe there is still a chance.

Tommaso Ciampa beats Dezmond Xavier. After the match, Ciampa calls Dezmond "the example," stating that he is sick of waiting and that he wants all of the gold, and if he hasn't made himself clear, he will come after who wins the AEW World Championship tonight. Ciampa then knocks Dezmond out of the ring with another knee and tears up a fan's sign on the way to the back.

FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Stokely Hathaway head to the ring. Harwood says he has read all of the talk online and says that the fact that FTR has won again has made everyone angry. He understands that the fans are angry because they love an underdog story because they think they can relate to it when they are just losers. He calls the fans "fat losers" and that FTR gave Adam Copeland and Christian Cage, yet they could not get the job done. He declares that while FTR are tag team champions, Copeland and Christian will never get another shot at their titles again. Stokely says that he does not need hoes because he has the AEW World Tag Team Champions as he addresses the fans who seemingly know everything, and compares FTR to Goliath while stating the locker room is full of "wanna-be Davids." Stokely says that every time David steps up to the lion, they get put down, and states that while Tony Khan will throw teams from CMLL and New Japan Pro Wrestling at them, they will all fall to the Goliath in FTR. Wheeler pays homage to Copeland and Christian's careers now that they have gotten rid of them, and asks that the fans join them in a moment of silence only to get booed. After a fraction of a second of silence, the fans get a ten-second pose. Wheeler thanks the fans and wishes them a great night.

"The Jet" Kevin Knight retains the TNT Championship against Claudio Castagnoli. After the match, Knight gives Claudio credit for being one of the hardest-hitting wrestlers in AEW, then says that will not stop him as he is the new TNT Champion. He addresses losing the Trios titles the night before he became TNT Champion, then says that one door closes and one door opens and that one must slow down to speed back up before proclaiming that he is riding high. Knight then says that he will be keeping an eye on Darby Allin vs. MJF for the AEW World Championship as "Jet 2 Belts" sounds "too fly."

Renee Young interviews Chris Jericho in the ring. Jericho says he feels so happy to be back in AEW and to be back in the ring at Dynasty, saying it was one of his best matches in a long time, even though he lost because he was outnumbered three-to-one. All of a sudden, The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona) shows up, and Ricochet says he meant it when he respected him and that Jericho got himself hurt like he said he would, and that he took him out with the Lionsault, which he calls "the Rico-sault." Ricochet says that while Jericho did not embarrass himself, he did not overcome "the rise of Ricochet," and tells Jericho to quit while he is ahead unless he wants to re-invent himself as "the guy who gets his ass beat by Ricochet every time he shows up." Jericho thanks Ricochet for his insight while making fun of Ricochet for his baldness and calling Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona "dumb and ugly," then dares Ricochet to get in the ring with him one-on-one. Ricochet tells Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona to let him handle this one alone before heading to the ring, but it is not long before Kaun and Toa Liona get in the ring when Jericho gets the upper hand. Jericho tries to fight back, but he is still overpowered and eventually laid out, and Ricochet gets the last word with "the Rico-sault."

In backstage footage from after Dynasty, Renee Paquette interviews Don Callis and "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada. "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita runs by, but Callis wants to know what happened from him. Takeshita sarcastically says it was an accident and sarcastically apologizes to Okada, who gets angry.

Renee Paquette is interrupted by "The Toxic Spider" Thekla from out of the crowd. Thekla brags about how she beat Jamie Hayter at Dynasty, then tells the fans to get used to her winning as the industry is full of nothing but "dumb bitches." Alex Windsor shows up and calls Thekla out for how she beat Hayter and says she should be the one to beat the piss out of her right now. Thekla tells Windsor not to get angry because she and Will Ospreay lost at Dynasty. Ospreay says she is the New Japan Pro Wrestling Strong Women's Champion and that Thekla is famous in Japan for getting herself fired. Thekla says Japan could not handle her just like how nobody here can handle her. Windsor says she can handle Thekla right now, but Thekla says no. Windsor then tells Thekla to put her title on the line so that she can face her on Collision, and Thekla accepts before Julia Hart and Skye Blue try and fail to ambush Windsor.

We hear from The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia). Jon Moxley says he likes to be surprised and that Will Ospreay never surprises him. "The Problem" Marina Shafir shows up, and Moxley notes from her that Ospreay is not looking good. Moxley says Ospreay showed him his cards, and contrary to popular belief, he does not enjoy the suffering of others, even though he appreciates the beauty of it. Moxley also addresses "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne, saying he knows nothing about him at all and wants Nick Wayne to surprise him. He says that Continental Championship rules are "adult stuff" and tells Nick Wayne to leave his mother in the back.

Willow Nightingale retains the TBS Championship against Kamille with a backslide pin despite Kamille attacking her shoulder during the match.

Backstage, we hear from Hikaru Shida and Kris Statalnder. Shida congratulates Willow Nightingale on her win, then says she and Statlander make a great team and that they will team up again on Collision, much to Statlander's confusion.

Darby Allin beats MJF to become the AEW World Champion! During the match, MJF hits Darby with a cheap shot behind the referee's back. Darby responds by nearly sending MJF into referee Aubrey Edwards, and when MJF stops himself, Darby hits a low blow, a Scorpion Deathdrop, four Coffin Drops, and - finally - a side headlock takover to beat MJF and become the champion. After the match, the locker room empties to celebrate with Darby Allin in the ring to end the show. Sting is the last to show up, and he hugs Darby before the show fades to black.

She says she and Thekla have beaten each other once, but once is not enough, and at Revolution, they will have two out of three falls and Thekla's killing is coming twice.

We hear from "The Toxic Spider" Thekla, who asks when the challenger dictates what the match is and that she is not doing the two out of three falls match, but quickly reconsiders after asking what makes Kris Statlander think she can beat her twice, and says that Statlander wears sunglasses and all leather because she cannot look her in the eye anymore and wants to be like her. Thekla then says Thunder Rosa should have listened to her, and now she has sent her back to Tijuna, then tells Statlander to take her own advice and quit while she is alive, for everything Statlander is afraid of is everything she is.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews JetSpeed ("Speedball" Mike Bailey and "The Jet" Kevin Knight). Knight calls Wednesday one of the hardest nights of his career because he came close to becoming AEW World Champion. He knows that more opportunities will come to him, but he also feels like he let Jet Set Rodeo (Speedball, Knight, "Hangman" Adam Page) down when he cost them the World Trios Championships. Speedball says they all lost, and while Hangman's situation with MJF made things more difficult, everything is good now, for at Revolution, they will team with Mistico and take back the World Trios Championships from The Don Callis Family ("The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada, Mark Davis). Speedball says that he has what it takes to hold two championships and beat Kyle Fletcher for the TNT Championship. Swerve Strickland and Prince Nana show up, and Strickland wants to know why Knight does not know what it took, as he does not apply the pressure when he has his foot on the opponent's neck.

He says that this was the Ciampa that he remembered and expected. He blames himself for not trusting his instincts and letting his guard down, then calls Ciampa a coward for jumping him and aligning himself with FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler).

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for October 15, 2025

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Kris Statlander and "Timeless" Toni Storm. Toni admits that she felt free losing the AEW Women's World Championship, but she felt nothing, and she has since dreamed of winning it back, even if it means winning it from someone she admires. She says that she does not know who she is without the title, and that she wants to know who Statlander is. Statlander tells Toni to remember who she has been all along and that she has yet to figure who she is, as she is a culmination of all she has been through and that she is different from the last time they faced off. Statlander tells that she will soon give Toni the rest that she deserves. Toni says that they will both find out the truth, but Statlander says Toni will have to learn to accept it. Both women then meet in the ring and go at it in a brawl. Toni then gets on her knees, hands behind her back, and gives Statlander a free shot, but Toni fights back. Statlander then does the same, and Toni rears back with the Women's World title at first before kissing Statlander on the forehead and handing the AEW Women's World Championship back to her.

Backstage, we hear from Jurassic Express ("Jungle" Jack Perry and Luchasaurus). Jack Perry carves a block of wood with a knife as he tells The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) that he actually likes The Young Bucks and will always be grateful for what they did for him, but when he needed them the most, they were not there.

In footage from earlier today, Jon Moxley meets Darby Allin in an undisclosed location that looks like a prison visitation booth. Moxley wants to make sure that both men know the implications of an "I Quit" match and tells him that "the game is rigged in both directions."

Darby says it is too late, and while he entertains the idea of joining The Death Riders and the cost of it, he does not respect Moxley due to what he did to Bryan Danielson. He asks why he would go to war with someone who considers family disposable. Moxley says that this is a war for the future of their craft and that hard decisions and sacrifices have to be made. Darby says that he realized AEW represented freedom at the top of Mount Everest and that Moxley is chipping away at what AEW represents, then says that before he looks at the flag every day to remind himself of that, he will wrap it around Moxley's throat and make Moxley realize that nothing he does mean anything when his empire comes crashing down. Moxley tells Darby that his opponent is not him and never has been; instead, he is fighting ghosts and spirits of the past, which he says never ends well. Moxley says that this is a selfish game and tells him once again that this is not about him before Darby is suddenly attacked from behind by PAC. Darby is bloodied and is heard coughing on his own blood, which also stains the window. Moxley then leaves the room.

He says his opponents lack heart and that they do not really want extraordinary things and do not want to make extraordinary sacrifice. He says the tanks are rolling in, and he will sacrifice them. He says that the AEW World Championship is not a goal, but an identity, and he was born to be king and all the things that come with it, for he is the only king that has ever been.

Christmas Collision - Collision recap for December 21, 2024

Ian Riccaboni and The Costco Guys (AJ and Big Justice) get everyone hyped up for tonight's show.

Ricochet beats Will Ospreay via pinfall in the Gold League of the Continental Classic after Ospreay grabs onto the referee, who then gets sandwiched into the corner. Even as Ospreay revives the referee, Ricochet shoves the referee into the ropes to trip Ospreay off the top to hit the Spirit Gun for the pin and the win. Ricochet earns three points and now has the lead with nine points. Will Ospreay still has six points. Before the match, the crowd throws streamers at Ospreay when he makes his entrance, but when Ricochet enters the ring, Ricochet gets a few rolls of toilet paper instead.

We see a video package for Darby Allin vs. Claudio Castagnoli in the Blue League of the Continental Classic later tonight.

Adam Cole heads to the ring. Shortly afterwards, MJF heads to the ring with his own personal security force. MJF admits he is frustrated hearing Cole say he turned on him when, in reality, Cole turned on him, then makes a thinly veiled reference to Cole and Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. no longer being in a relationship. He says that it ate Cole up inside that he was his sidekick while he was AEW World Champion, and that Cole had plenty of opportunities to win the title before he got anywhere near it only to blow it like his ankle. MJF says Cole turned on him out of jealousy and says that Cole looks like "a crack baby." Cole says he refuses to insult MJF while simultaneously mentioning some damning things about him and says he has been far from a failure everywhere he has ever been. He admits he has some regrets and things he could take back, and says it burns MJF that he turned on him first and did it better before saying that MJF is terrified of having anyone near him because it is a weakness for him. This gets MJF to yell at Cole that he was correct, and tells him that he had every intention of stabbing him in the back a year ago, but he got lucky. He admits he did not care about him at first, but eventually, he did start to care a little bit. He says that as soon as he started caring about Cole, he became a liability, and when he jumped off the ramp at Arthur Ashe Stadium and blew his ankle, he became a distraction when it came to staying World Champion. He says that Cole is not "The Devil," instead, he "beat The Devil to it," and this year, he will end Cole's world. Cole punches MJF, and MJF's security moves in. Cole lays all the security guards out, but MJF kicks Cole in the groin. As MJF readies the knockout punch with the Dynamite Diamond Ring, Matt Taven and Mike Bennett slid einto the ring, and MJF flees.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Kris Statlander. Statlander says what she and Willow Nightingale have to discuss is between them, and as for Penelope Ford, they have history, and if she wants a fight, she is here. She says her downward spiral started when she lost the TBS Champion, and now she is righting some wrongs. She mentions that Mercedes Moné does not have an opponent for Worlds End, and tells Mercedes to let her know when she is ready for Round 2.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Orange Cassidy. Cassidy tells "Hangman" Adam Page and "Switchblade" Jay White that Jon Moxley can run and hide between now and Worlds End, but at Worlds End, he will have nowhere to go, and the three of them must remove Moxley from the equation. He says that after that, they can all fight for the AEW World Championship. Orange then says he will see them on Dynamite.

Kris Statlander beats Penelope Ford. After the match, Mercedes Moné shows up and says she was planning on taking Worlds End off, but since it is the holiday season and she feels like being nice, she accepts her challenge, saying that she beat her once and she will beat her again.

The Learning Tree ("The Learning Tree" Chris Jericho, "The Redwood" Big Bill, "The Bad Apple" Bryan Keith) interrupts as The Costco Guys (AJ and Big Justice) hype the crowd up, and when Jericho asks them if they know who he is, Big Justice says Jericho is a jackass. This leads to a "You're a jackass" chants, and Bryan Keith says "dumbass kids should be seen and not heard." Jericho says they have bodegas in New York, not Costcos, that his favorite bodega is a Walgreens in Flushing, and that The Costco Guys' gimmick belongs in the toilet. Jericho also mocks The Acclaimed's ("Platinum" Max Caster and Anthony Bowens) scissoring, and Anthony Bowens shows up and walks past The Learning Tree. Bowens says he knows what Jericho is trying to do and tells Jericho to shut the hell up, and Big Bill says that when a man tries to silence another man, he is probably afraid of the truth. This leads to a "Big Bill" chant. Bowens says he does not know what that means and dares Jericho to get in the ring so he can kick his ass. The Learning Tree teases heading to the ring, but turn around halfway down the ramp. As AJ says that Bowens has the chance to bring the boom, Bowens stops them to lead a scissoring between him and The Costco Guys.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews The Vendetta ("The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazo and Taya Valkyrie). Taya Valkyrie says everyone deserves a slice of them when Toni Storm suddenly shows up and introduces herself to The Vendetta and Lexy Nair. Deonna says she has had enough of Toni and challenges her to a match with Taya, which Toni innocently accepts.

Daniel Garcia beats Shelton Benjamin via pinfall with a jackknife pin in the Blue League of the Continental Classic. Daniel Garcia earns three points and now has seven points. Shelton Benjamin still has six points. After the match, MVP and Bobby Lashley show up to attack Garcia, but Mark Briscoe shows up with security trying to hold him back. All of a sudden, Swerve Strickland attacks The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Lashley, Shelton) from the top rope. The locker room has to get between Mark Briscoe and MVP as Prince Nana starts a "Swerve's House" chant, and Swerve tells Lashley that he got his hands on him once already and that he will do it again.

Mark Briscoe beats The Beast Mortos via pinfall in the Blue League of the Continental Classic and earns three points. Mark Briscoe now has nine points and now shares the lead in the Blue League. The Beast Mortos still has zero points and is mathematically eliminated.

She says she knows Julia is strong, but she wants to know if she is smart. She says she will see Jamie at Fight For The Fallen and that the House always wins.

Backstage, Alex Marvez interviews "The Glamour" Mariah May. Thunder Rosa attacks Mariah from out of nowhere when Mariah talks about Thunder Rosa's father, and chases her to the ring. Security shows up after Rosa punches Mariah and tries to hit her with a metal folding chair.

Claudio Castagnoli beats Darby Allin via pinfall in the Gold League of the Continental Classic after going underneath the ring, sticking brass knuckles in his trunks, and pulling out a metal folding chair for the referee to take away so he can hit Darby with a cheap shot with the brass knuckles. Claudio Castagnoli earns three points and is tied for the lead with Ricochet with nine points. Darby Allin still has six points. After the match, Claudio is about to continue attacking Darby when Will Ospreay makes the save and grabs the brass knuckles that Claudio used. Claudio leaves through the crowd instead to end the show.

Thanksgiving Eve - Dynamite recap for November 27, 2024

We see a video package for the 2024 Continental Classic.

The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Shelton Benjamin, Bobby Lashley) head to the ring to start tonight's show. MVP announces that he is standing in-between two of the finest athletes to ever grace a professional wrestling ring and compares Shelton and Lashley to Walter Peyton and Michael Jordan. He says tonight is about The Hurt Syndicate and the lessons that they teach, and when he offers his business and an opportunity to join The Hurt Syndicate, it is like handing a golden ticket to change one's life. He then says that the ones who accept this golden ticket are smart, unlike Swerve Strickland, who he says has been taken over by his own arrogance and youthful exuberance. MVP then brags about Lashley beating Swerve, saying Lashley is more dangerous than Swerve is. MVP states that The Hurt Syndicate is here to take championship gold and leverage those championships for more money and power, as they are the merchants of misery and in the profession of pain. He also says that Shelton Benjamin's match in the Continental Classic will kick things off, then says that The Hurt Syndicate is the best at what they do: hurting people.

Tony Schiavone interviews Mercedes Moné, who is accompanied by "The Brickhouse" Kamille, at the top of the ramp. Mercedes says things feel like money right now and that Kris Statlander gave her one of the hardest fights of her entire career and proved that she is one of the best in the ring, but she is the best TBS Champion of all time, and she showed how a real woman gets the job done. Mercedes then says that Kamille cannot do anything right, and before she can fire, Kamille grabs the microphone, tells her to shut up, then asks Mercedes if she is stupid or dumb before saying that Mercedes cannot fire here before she quits. Kamille then walks away, and Mercedes is furious.

"The Redwood" Big Bill and "The Bad Apple" Bryan Keith guest on commentary for the next match.

"The Learning Tree" Chris Jericho retains the Ring of Honor World Championship against Tomohiro Ishii following three Judas Effects.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Swerve Strickland and Prince Nana. Swerve says rebuilding is something he and Prince Nana do very well, and win or loss, he figures it out. He admits that Bobby Lashley hits hard, then "Platinum" Max Caster shows up and laughs at Swerve. Swerve wants to know what is funny, and Max says he beat Swerve beat him in the same building, then proposes that they have another match before he says Swerve is like "a house afire," which causes Swerve to snap and attack him.

Tony Schiavone interviews "Hangman" Adam Page in the ring. Hangman grabs the microphone from Schiavone, then says that he will knock Interim Executive Vice President Christopher Daniels on his ass if he gets in his way again, and says that if Christian Cage kept his end of the deal, he would be at home with the World Championship, but he failed. Hangman says his intention has always been to be AEW World Champion and that it never should have been Swerve Strickland, Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley or Christian Cage's, as the title has always been his. Suddenly, "Switchblade" Jay White shows up and reminds him that he beat him for a fifth time, then says that if anyone is going for the World Championship, it will be him. He then says that if Hangman needs another reminder in case five times is not enough, he will happily beat him again. Suddenly, he is grabbed and attacked by PAC. PAC then distracts Hangman so that Wheeler Yuta can hit Hangman from behind with a chop block. Switchblade gets in the ring and fights off PAC and Yuta, but Hangman hits him with a lariat. Hangman is then hit in the head with a briefcase by Marina Shafir, who then swings at Switchblade only for Switchblade to go for the Blade Runner. Jon Moxley runs into the ring and puts Switchblade in the rear naked choke. Shafir kicks Switchblade in the gut, then puts him in a kneeling guillotine choke before she, Moxley, PAC and Yuta gang up on Switchblade, who gets smacked with the briefcase by PAC. As Moxley, Shafir, PAC and Yuta leave through the crowd, Claudio Castagnoli meets them on the way to the ring for the next match.

Fletcher says that the Continental Classic is just another way to prove that he is better in every other way, and that the Continental Classic will belong to him.

Undisputed Kingdom (Adam Cole, Matt Taven, Mike Bennett) head to the ring. Adam Cole calls out MJF, saying that if he were half the man he claims to be, he would fight him, but he will not because he is "a little bitch." He promises that when he will beat MJF within an inch of his life after what he did to Roderick Strong, then Kyle O'Reilly shows up. O'Reilly tells Adam that he fought MJF and it did not work out, and that they need to try something a little different. He says he wants to face MJF, and as he calls MJF off, Adam interrupts O'Reilly, saying what he said stuck to him. Adam Cole says he cannot have his friends fighting his own battles, but O'Reilly says he is doing this for Roderick Strong. MJF then shows up on the video screen and says he will not fight either Adam or O'Reilly, as his mind is focused on the Dynamite Dozen Battle Royal. Adam Cole then says he will be the first to enter that battle royal, and Kyle O'Reilly says he will be the second.
