Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for October 21, 2026

Don Callis guests on commentary for the next two matches.

The Don Callis Family (Mark Davis and Jake Doyle) decimate The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) in an AEW World Tag Team Championships Eliminator Match and earn a shot at the AEW World Tag Team Championships.

The Don Callis Family ("The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher and "The Jet" Kevin Knight) beat Adam Copeland and Will Ospreay after "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada, who initially shows up and distracts Adam Copeland, hits Copeland in the corner with the AEW International Championship after Fletcher jumps over the Spear. After the match, Okada, Fletcher and Knight attack Copeland, and Ospreay is overpowered when he goes for the save. Okada hits a busted-open Copeland with the Rainmaker, then Mark Davis, Jake Doyle and Wardlow head to the ring. All six men surround Ospreay as Don Callis enters the ring with the AEW World Championship, and Ospreay has no chance against The Don Callis Family. Callis then hands the AEW World Championship to Fletcher, and after Wardlow knocks Copeland out, Fletcher hits Ospreay with the AEW World Championship. Suddenly, Darby Allin shows up with a now-recovered Steven Borden, and both men attack with a skateboard and a bat. Nick Jackson also shows up with a wooden oar to help out, and The Don Callis Family is sent running out of the ring. Steven Borden then declares on the microphone that he is back for blood and guts.

Swerve Strickland beats Tome Filip with a House Call before the bell and a Vertebreaker after. After the match, Prince Nana helps Swerve back into his jacket, then Swerve makes a beeline straight back up the entrance ramp.

Orange Cassidy and "Switchblade" Jay White beat The Death Riders (Wheeler Yuta and Daniel Garcia).

We see a metronome moving.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "Hangman" Adam Page and Brodido (Brody King and Bandido). Brody King says they would not be here tonight if it were for Bandido, then Prince Nana shows up and says Swerve Strickland and The New Level (Kofi and "Awesome" Austin Creed) want the Trios Championships back. Swerve also shows up demanding a rematch, and Hangman - noting that Swerve gave them a rematch - says that fair is fair and grants it. Swerve names Full Gear as the time and place, and Hangman accepts. Swerve says that three years ago at Full Gear, he "hanged the Hangman," then says he is living in the future, not the past, and that he wants the match to be a Texas Death Match. Hangman says there is no way he will drag Brodido into that, and says that there will be a match, but it will not be a Texas Death Match. Swerve says this is non-negotiable, and Hangman says that Swerve has no leverage and that this is about something other than the Trios titles before he declines again. Swerve says "We'll see."

"The Prodigy" Nick Wayne shows up at the arena, notices Chris Jericho on the production truck, laughs, and shows off the "Nick Wayne beat Chris Jericho" shirt under his jacket before the pyro in the arena goes off. The shirt is now available at ShopAEW.

Renee Paquette interviews Mercedes Moné in the ring. Mercedes, who is no longer wearing a protective mask, says she still has a broken nose that has failed to stop her from beating Willow Nightingale and "The Toxic Spider" Thekla, saying Thekla was barely up to her knees and not on her level. Mercedes then kicks Renee out of the ring before stating that she is the most decorated woman in all of professional wrestling and that she does not chase the spotlight because she is the spotlight. She then wants to know who is next to face her after taking out the trash in AEW, and the challenge is soon answered by "The Problem" Marina Shafir, who shows up, stares down Mercedes, and tells her not to be a pussy. Mercedes takes offense to this, then leaves the ring. Roderick Strong shows up for the next match, with Jon Moxley already in the ring having shown up with Shafir.

Jon Moxley beats Roderick Strong in an AEW Continental Championship Eliminator Match by submission with a sleeper hold. After the match, Roderick Strong is attacked from behind by Clark Connors and David Finlay; Moxley, having just rolled out of the ring to leave through the crowd, gets back in the ring and chews them out. When Moxley turns his back, Connors and Finlay attack Moxley, and Connors wraps his belt around Moxley's neck before Finley pulls out a shillelagh. Gabe Kidd shows up, takes away the shillelagh, and nearly goes at it with Connors and Finlay. Connors then hits Gabe Kidd with a Spear out of the corner. Roderick Strong gets in the ring to make the save, but he is attacked along with Moxley. It takes Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly and "Switchblade" Jay White coming to the ring to force Finlay and Connors to retreat. All of a sudden, Switchblade hits Orange with a Blade Runner, and the rest of The Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin) and Claudio Castagnoli show up to brawl with one another. The Dogs (Connors and Finlay) and The Bang Bang Gang gang up on Claudio Castagnoli, and when Claudio Castagnoli gets the upper hand, it takes a tire iron to the back from Connors to take him down and allow The Dogs and The Bang Bang Gang to gang up on him. Claudio then gets cracked with a shillelagh by Finlay, and Switchblade hits Moxley with the Blade Runner. The Dogs and The bang Bang Gang then do the "Guns Up" sign to cement their allegiance.

We see footage of Ilja Dragunov at WrestleDream.

Backstage, The Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross) and Triangle of Madness ("The Toxic Spider" Thekla, Julia Hart, Skye Blue) attack The Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor), Kris Statlander and Harley Cameron, then Triangle of Madness leaves.

"The Prodigy" Nick Wayne heads to the ring. Nick Wayne says that he beat Chris Jericho, then the pyro on the stage goes off. He then says "twice." He then says that he beat Chris Jericho again, and the pyro goes off again. He then says "twice" again, then says that Jericho needs to come to the ring and stand face-to-face with him and apologize. Jericho fails to show, then Nick Wayne says he should have known better before the pyro goes off again and Jericho arrives. Nick Wayne is surprised that Jericho is here, but he is glad, as he says that Jericho must have been dreading this moment all week while he has looked forward to it. He then demands that Jericho say he is sorry. When Jericho says that he is sorry, Nick Wayne keeps interrupting him. Jericho has to tell Nick Wayne to shut up so he can apologize, then says that Nick Wayne knew more than he thought he did and that he has learned lessons from him. Jericho says the outcome would have been different at WrestleDream, then Nick Wayne brags with the pyro again before demand that Jericho cut to the chase and say he is sorry. Jericho says "Good lord, are you ever a douchebag!" He then says he was a douchebag at Nick Wayne and would never have apologized then, then says that he knows now when he is wrong, and says sorry to Nick Wayne. Jericho says sorry for underestimating Nick Wayne and how good he was, then says that Nick Wayne learned something from him and that he reached a turning point in his career and became a superstar just like he did during his own career. He says that if Nick Wayne keeps doing what he is doing and really hears what others teach him, he will become a multiple-time world champion and one of the greats in this business. He then tells Nick Wayne "Don't fuck it up" and leaves the ring while Nick Wayne laughs.

Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. and Persephone guest on commentary for the next match.

Queen Aminata beats Maya World in a TBS Championship #1 contender's match. After the match, Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. and Persephone get in the ring, but Aminata is joined by Maya World and Hyan, and Britt and Persephone think better of getting in the ring.

Backstage, we hear from The Don Callis Family (Don Callis, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada, "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher, "The Jet" Kevin Knight, Mark Davis, Jake Doyle, Wardlow). Don Callis brags about his family's success tonight, and "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher announces that he has an official victory over Will Ospreay. Callis says that his family will bring the guts while their opposition will bring the blood that they will spill before taking all the championships and the money that comes with them, with he and "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada agreeing that the only thing more important is family.

We hear from The Opps (Samoa Joe, Hook, "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata, Action Andretti). Samoa Joe says Clockwork Carnage may not have went his way in the end, but it made him realize that the AEW World Championship belongs to him and that nobody will stand in his way. "Jungle" Jack Perry shows up and says Joe did not kick his ass enough and that Joe still owes him a handshake. He then says that he will have to find a way to get it from him, and he wants another match. Joe says he cannot think of a better city to lick his wounds than Miami, Florida, and that he will take care of business very soon.

Adam Copeland, Christian Cage, Darby Allin and Steven Borden beat FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and The Don Callis Family ("The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher and "The Jet" Kevin Knight) in an eight-man tag match.

Backstage, we hear from The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, PAC, Gabe Kidd). Moxley says Will Ospreay has targeted him and that he feels "some type of way" about it. He says it is incredible what Ospreay has overcome in the past year and that nobody understands like him what he has gone through, as he is hard on himself and others. He says that a championship around anyone's waist does not make them the best, and while All In will inspire future generations, it was all about what Ospreay was becoming. Moxley says he never wanted Ospreay to follow him, but to lead, and that this is where everything between them has headed. He says that by now, Ospreay knows that when he looks across the ring at him at All Out, everything that happens to him will be his responsibility. Gabe Kidd says they should not wait until All Out to break him or cut him into pieces, and PAC says there is a clear line between them and United Empire (Andrade el Idolo and Francesco Akira) and that they will not let Ospreay off the hook.

We see a video package chronicling the feud between The Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor) and The Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross).

Chris Jericho beats "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne after pulling the necklace off of Nick Wayne's neck. It is announced during the match that next week's show will be a three-hour special. After the match, Nick Wayne is upset to the point that he does not even want to shake Jericho's hand. When Jericho leaves the ring, Nick Wayne kicks the middle rope into Jericho's groin before wrapping the necklace around his right hand for a few punches. Nick Wayne then grabs a chair and smacks Jericho in the back with it before leaving the ring.

It is announced that Mercedes Moné is not cleared to compete at All Out, but she will be cleared to wrestle at WrestleDream and face either "The Toxic Spider" Thekla or Willow Nightingale. We then see a video package for Willow Nightingale vs. Thekla at All Out, with the winner facing Mercedes Moné for the AEW World Women's Championship at WrestleDream.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Will Ospreay, Francesco Akira and Andrade el Idolo. Ospreay says they will take the fight to The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, PAC, Gabe Kidd), then addresses the awkwardness of him being AEW World Champion and Andrade el Idolo having a contract for a championship match with him. After Andrade says that they are on the same team tonight, Francesco Akira says something in Italian, then Ospreay tells Akira to say something in English. Akira immediately says "Let's kick the shit out of The Death Riders!"

"Hangman" Adam Page and Brodido (Brody King and Bandido) beat The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong) in a trios match to earn a shot at the AEW World Trios Championships at All Out.

We look back on last week's Collision, which was a memorial show for "The Butcher" Andy Williams.

Tommaso Ciampa quickly beats Myles Hawkins with a running knee as Hawkins hands his vest off to the side, then immediately heads to the back.

Tony Schiavone introduces Swerve Strickland, Prince Nana and The New Level (Kofi and "Awesome" Austin Creed) to the ring. All of a sudden, Swerve and The New Level are attacked by The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona). Kofi tries to fight back by getting on top of Toa Liona, but he is easily overpowered, and Bishop Kaun hits him with a Pedigree. Swerve gets in the ring just before Ricochet does, and while Swerve fends off The Demand, the numbers game proves to be too much. The Demand then pose with the World Trios Championships in front of a downed Swerve and New Level.

We hear from "Jungle" Jack Perry backstage. Perry says he is on a mission to face the former World Champions of AEW, and while he has lost against two and has had his ass kicked all over the place, he is enjoying it, learning something, and feeling something. He feels that he is inching closer to his victory and the impossible dream within defeat. Perry says that he wanted to face the best to become the best, and now he is going to call his shot. He then calls out Samoa Joe, saying Joe is both feared and loved, but not by him. Perry says Joe has been gone long enough and that it is time for Joe to teach him something. He says that he knows the legend, and he tells Joe to come back and make his day. We then see "Joe is gonna kill you" on the wall in red spray paint.

Lena Kross beats Jamie Hayter after Megan Bayne distracts referee Aubrey Edwards with one of the AEW Women's World Tag Team titles so that Lena Kross can hit Jamie Hayter in the midsection with a pipe followed by the Jackhammer for the win. After the match, Bayne and Kross retreat after Alex Windsor rushes to the ring with a wooden table leg.

We see a video package for Andrade el Idolo. Andrade talks about how he was born with professional wrestling in his blood and how his grandfather, father and six uncles gave their blood for business. He says that it is not just his destiny, but the result of four generations of his family being in a wrestling ring.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada. Okada says he has given this a lot of thought, and says that Tommaso Ciampa is a bitch when it comes to giving Ciampa a shot at the International Championship. This leads to Ciampa immediately attacking Okada before saying he wants "The Psycho Killer versus The Rainmaker" and calling Okada a bitch.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews The Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor). They make it clear to The Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross) that anything not nailed down will be used against them next week.

The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, PAC, Gabe Kidd) beat United Empire (Will Ospreay, Francesco Akira, Andrade el Idolo) in a trios match by submission with a Death Rider followed by the bulldog choke from Moxley to Akira. After the match, Moxley keeps the hold on, then chases the referee out of the ring only to lock it in again. He lets go, then locks it in a third time. Andrade el Idolo fends the Death Riders off, but he is soon attacked from behind by Clark Connors and David Finlay. Moxley then hands a metal folding chair off to Gabe Kidd, who wraps the chair around Akira's head. Ospreay gets in the ring and hits multiple Hidden Blades to make the save for Akira.

Jon Moxley shows up and says he does not need anything from anybody, as he was in the trenches fighting wars for the future of this sports while kids like Connors were washing backs in the dojos. Moxley says he does not do favors for or babysit anyone, and that kids today do not know what hard work can do. He says that people have paid hard-earned money to be here and deserve they all, and tells The Dogs that they can either complain or they can dogwalk The Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin) and show everyone who they really are.

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.

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.

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.

We hear from Darby Allin, who says that he fears that he will not recognize himself in the mirror when his fifteen minutes of fame is over. He says that he sacrificed everything he stood for to try to make it to the top until Sting told him he did not have to change a thing. He says that "The Jet" Kevin Knight has changed and hopes that Knight enjoys being at the top, because the foundation of his success will not last and that The Don Callis Family is not family. He says that from now until Wembley Stadium, he will ensure that he beats the best Kevin Knight possible at All In, and after that, when Knight looks at himself in the mirror, he will not recognize who he sees, as he will beat him with in an inch of his life.

We hear from The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz, Dezmond Xavier, Myron Reed). Wentz says they are rolling, refreshed and riding high after last week.

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.

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.
