Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for July 29, 2026

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



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



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



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

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

Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

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

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



Maya World retains the TBS Championship against Persephone after Hikaru Shida shows up and tosses Persephone a shinai only for Kris Statlander to show up and prevent Persephone from using it.



Backstage, we hear from Mark Davis, who says that he suffered a massive embarrassment from losing the AEW National Championship, then says that he wants a one-on-one rematch with Will Ospreay at Grand Slam Mexico.

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

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





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



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

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



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

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

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for July 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.



We see a short video package for Chris Jericho (as "The Painmaker") vs. Tommaso Ciampa at Redemption.

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.



We see a video package for Maya World vs. Hikaru Shida for the TBS Championship at Redemption.

"Switchblade" Jay White beats Clark Connors by submission. After the match, Clark Connor tries to attack Jay White, but Jay White hits him with Blade Runner. David Finlay then gets in the ring and clobbers Jay White with his shillelagh, then The Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colton Gunn, Ace Austin) show up, and Juice Robinson runs into the ring swinging a chain. Connors and Finlay are forced to retreat.



Backstage, we hear from Adam Copeland and Christian Cage. They are soon attacked by PAC and Claudio Castagnoli, and PAC curb stomps Copeland into a road crate before saying that challenging them to a tag team title match is not wise. PAC tells Copeland and Christian that they have bitten off way more than they can chew, and that on Sunday, he and Claudio will show who are they are and what The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio, Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia, PAC, "The Problem" Marina Shafir) are capable of.



The Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross) retain the AEW Women's World Tag Team Championships against Sisters of Sin (Julia Hart and Skye Blue) in a no-disqualification match.



Backstage, we hear from The Bang Bang Gang ("Switchblade" Jay White, Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin). Juice Robinson challenges The Dogs (Clark Connors and David Finlay) to a double-chain tag team match at Redemption, and Jay White says that The Bang Bang Gang will give Finlay the beating his father should have given him.

Kenny Omega, Will Ospreay and Jon Moxley beat The Don Callis Family (Hechicero, "The Machine" Brian Cage, Jake Doyle) in a trios match despite Omega inadvertently kneeing Moxley in the jaw near the end of the match. After the match, Omega and Moxley have a shoving match. Ospreay tries to play peacemaker only for Omega to shove him, and Ospreay shoves Omega back. The Young Bucks show up, and Moxley shoves Nick, starting a brawl that The Don Callis Family also gets involved in. Omega takes down Rocky Romero and Trent Beretta, but "The Jet" Kevin Knight flies into the ring from out of nowhere and smacks Omega with the TNT Championship before celebrating with the TNT and World Championships to end the show with his boot on a busted open Omega.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for July 15, 2026

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



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



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

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

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong). The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona) soon show up and make it known they want the AEW World Trios Championships. As Kyle O'Reilly accepts the challenge, The Conglomeration are attacked from behind by The Lethal Twist (Jay Lethal, "Vanilla Baby" Blake Christian, "Big Shotty" Lee Johnson).

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



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





Backstage, we hear from "Jungle" Jack Perry, who says that he is starting his second chapter in AEW. He says that he was on the verge of breaking through to the next level in his first chapter, and on Collision, he wants a match with someone else who wants to break through like he does and show what the future of professional wrestling is all about.

Brodido (Brody King and Bandido) beat Aaron Solo and Nick Comoroto.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Don Callis and "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher. As Fletcher says he is ready to put Komander away tonight, Brodido (Brody King and Bandido) shows up and hands both Renee a Fletcher a wanted poster of Bandido, much to Fletcher and Callis' annoyance.

Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

"The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher retains the AEW International Championship against Komander. After the match, Fletcher tears at Komander's mask, then "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita runs in and brawls with Fletcher. Takeshita then picks up the AEW International Championship and declares that it is his before "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada suddenly shows up and hits Takeshita with the Rainmaker. Fletcher and Okada are about to fight over the International Championship before Brodido (Brody King and Bandido) shows up and takes them both out.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Kenny Omega. Omega says there is no shortage of credible challengers and that he still has hope for "The Jet" Kevin Knight. Darby Allin shows up and tells Omega that Kevin Knight will not change overnight and that he must be physically humbled, and that he will take the TNT Championship from Knight and humble him. He tells Omega that he can either waste his time or he can beat it out of him, and Omega tells Darby he will leave it to him. Darby leaves, then Jon Moxley shows up and says that Darby is right and that some people are what they are and cannot pretend to be anything else even if they try.

Renee Paquette interviews The Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor) on the stage. Alex Windsor says that if there is anybody who knows anything about drinking and fighting, it is the people of Boston, Massachusetts. Jamie Hayter says they had a pretty good time, even though England let them down in the World Cup. Hayter tells the fans that The Brawling Birds will not let them down, and Windsor says they will beat anyone to prove they are the best women's tag team in AEW. Hayter then tells the fans "let's get pissed," and says the first round is on them as they leave with Renee.

Backstage, we hear from Chris Jericho, who says that Tommaso Ciampa left his beaten and battered at Beach Break, then says that they can go again at Redemption. He tells Ciampa to bring pain and that he will bring "The Painmaker." We then hear from Ciampa, who says that he is better than Jericho, and at Redemption, everyone will find out if The Painmaker is better than him. Ciampa accepts the challenge, but says he has one more night in his hometown, and on Collision, he wants Jericho to be watching as he makes an example of someone.

Darby Allin beats "The Machine" Brian Cage after tripping Cage on the ring steps for a Coffin Drop before hitting Cage with two more Coffin Drops back in the ring.



Backstage, we hear from "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher and "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada. Fletcher says that if Brodido (Brody King and Bandido) want to stick their noses in family business and take his title, he has no problem with that. Fletcher says he will be the greatest International Champion of all time, and if Bandido wants him, he wants Bandido at Redemption.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Don Callis and "The Jet" Kevin Knight. Callis says that Knight can handle whatever is on his plate, then says that Knight is too smart for Kenny Omega's mind games. He says that everything that Omega has gotten in life is because of him, and tells Knight to take care of Omega. Callis leaves, then "Speedball" Mike Bailey shows up and says that Knight's facade is not working, and tells him to take Omega's advice and know that everyone loves him enough that when he is ready to go back to who he really is, he is forgiven. Knight tells Speedball to let him be.

Mercedes Moné and The Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross) beat Willow Nightingale, Maya World and Hyan in a trios match.

Beach Break - Dynamite recap for July 8, 2026

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Kenny Omega (who has Michael Nakazawa next to him). Omega says that this is it and it is do or die, and his back is against the wall, yet that is always when he does his best work. He says that if this is truly it and he can never hold championship gold in AEW ever again, he would shake MJF's hand and congratulate him on a job well done. Omega then tells MJF that he will not make it easy, and asks MJF if he is willing to stomp out his last dream of headlining All In. He says that he is ready this time and that this will not like their match in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Tommaso Ciampa beats Chris Jericho after throwing sand into Jericho's eyes after referee Aubrey Edwards keeps Ciampa from using a sand bucket to get out of the Walls of Jericho. After the match, Ciampa hits Jericho in the head with a metal folding chair, then pulls out a bag full of tools and dumps out of some of the contents, which includes an electric power drill that Ciampa decides to use before security shows up. Ciampa then puts the drill in an inflatable inner tube and uses the drill to spin the inner tube around on his way out.



We see footage of The Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor) beating some men up.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Will Ospreay. Ospreay says that he is pulling for Kenny Omega, but one cannot look past MJF. He hopes that by the end of tonight, Omega will get past MJF's antics and face him at All In. MJF shows up and tells Ospreay that he should be thanking him instead of judging him, as he has put AEW in a golden era, and says that he was "the feeling" all along while Ospreay and Omega are just "good little wrestlers." MJF then tells Ospreay that after tonight, Omega will never challenge for his championship ever again, and he will then take great pleasure in breaking Ospreay's neck at All In. Ospreay says that MJF is nowhere near the best and begs for people to tell him how good he is and that until MJF can do it on his own, he will not be part of the conversation and never will be. MJF spits in Ospreay's face, and security has to break up the brawl that follows.



Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

"The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher beats "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita to become the AEW International Champion with a brainbuster into the top turnbuckle. After the match, Fletcher celebrates with The Don Callis Family while Mistico, Orange Cassidy and Kyle O'Reilly check on Takeshita along with the medical team.



Mick Foley makes his way to the ring, where The Don Callis Family is still celebrating. Mick Foley congratulates "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher on becoming AEW International Champion. Fletcher says that "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita was never his friend and was always riding his coattails, and that he has brought the International title back to the family. Don Callis says that this is about his family, not Mick Foley stealing the spotlight from the real talent here. Foley then tells Callis about credibility before mentioning his custom-made shoes with his late dog Randall and his current dog Wooffall. He then tells Callis that if he interrupts him again, Wooffall will get acquainted with the inner confines of Callis' ass. Callis brags about how the family has three titles before introducing "The Jet" Kevin Knight to the ring. Knight congratulates Fletcher for bringing the International Championship back, saying it took him long enough, then says that he is still owed a World title shot. He says that whether the winner is Kenny Omega or MJF, he will watch closely, as "Jet Two Belts" is on the way. Suddenly, Andrade el Idolo shows up and says he was the best of The Don Callis Family and that Callis promised him the AEW World Championship, but now, he promises to take one title from him. Callis tells Andrade that if he wants a belt, then he can get into the meat grinder and challenge Mark Davis for the AEW National Championship if he can beat Jake Doyle. Andrade el Idolo answers by daring the entire family to attack him, and Mark Davis, "The Machine" Brian Jake Doyle and Kevin Knight chase him to the back, where they are attacked by Darby Allin. Darby is soon overpowered and outnumbered, but when Brian Cage grabs Darby's skateboard, pyrotechnics fly out of the skateboard, thanks to Andrade, who is holding the switch in his hands.



Will Ospreay and Jon Moxley beat The Workhorsemen (JD Drake and Anthony Henry).



We hear from Hikaru Shida, who says that she told everyone what was coming and nobody listened, and now, she is TBS Champion and "the ace of TBS." She says that for as long as she is champion, TBS stards for "The Best is Shida."

Kenny Omega beats MJF to win the AEW World Championship for a second time! During the match, MJF pulls out the Dynamite Diamond Ring, but Will Ospreay shows up and takes it away from him. Omega tries to hit MJF with the AEW World Championship, but cannot do it, and MJF hits Omega with a low blow and blasts him with the AEW World Championship only for Omega to kick out at one. Omega soon hits three V-Triggers followed by the One Winged Angel to win the match and the title. (Had Omega lost, he would have never been able to challenge for the AEW World Championship ever again.)

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for July 1, 2026

In backstage footage from Forbidden Door, Renee Paquette interviews Will Ospreay and Alex Windsor. Ospreay talks about how he is excited to be at All In when Jon Moxley shows up. Moxley meets with Ospreay after Renee and Windsor leave, and Moxley tells Ospreay that if he wants to be "the real thing," he must live it. He says that AEW can be something great in the greatest sport in the world, and while the business is full of unsavory people, it is up to them to protect AEW and preserve the craft. He then gives Ospreay a Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marin Shafir) patch, saying that he has earned the right to ride with The Death Riders and that he is proud of him. Moxley leaves, then Kenny Omega shows up and says he is proud of Ospreay. Ospreay says that he knows that Omega is concerned about him, then tells Omega that he is not his father. MJF shows up, and Omega reminds MJF that he has him to deal with after Mark Briscoe if he survives. MJF tells Ospreay he will see him at Wembley Stadium, then leaves. Omega tells Ospreay they will always be friends and that what Ospreay has going on with The Death Riders does not affect their friendship, then tells Ospreay to take care of himself.



MJF retains the AEW World Championship against Mark Briscoe after countering a Jay Driller with a waterwheel slam followed by the Heatseeker. After the match, MJF hits Briscoe with the Dynamite Diamond Ring. MJF then forces medical staff out of the ring, but before Briscoe can get up so that MJF can hit him again, Kenny Omega shows up. MJF retreats. Omega reiterates to MJF that he will be knocking down his door and proposes that MJF has the energy to face him tonight. MJF says it is bad enough he had to come to California and wrestle Briscoe, and refuses to wrestle Omega again. He says that it is laughable that Omega wants another shot at his title after losing to him twice and having kicked out of the One Winged Angel, and says he will not face him at first before suddenly having a big idea. MJF says he will wrestle Omega for the title next week on one condition, and if he does not get an answer by next week, he will not get his shot. If MJF retains, Omega will never be able to become AEW World Championship ever again.





Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews MJF. MJF addresses Andrade el Idolo for putting his hands on him and says that payback is coming and it will hit like a ton of bricks, then lists off who he has beaten in AEW and says that Kenny Omega is 0-2 against him before proclaiming that he is the best in the world. He then says that Omega will not agree to his terms because he is "literally gutless." Will Ospreay shows up and tells MJF not to hurt himself "sucking [himself] off like that" before asking why MJF put up a stipulation. MJF says he is the champ and Ospreay is not, then tells Ospreay he will see him in Wembley Stadium.

Tony Schiavone interviews Andrade el Idolo on the stage. Andrade declares that he is done with The Don Callis Family and MJF and that he will become the AEW World Champion. He then asks "How you know?" before he is attacked from behind by Jake Doyle, Lance Archer and "The Machine" Brian Cage. Don Callis leads the charge as Kevin Knight also shows up, and Brian Cage hits Andrade with the Drill Claw. Callis then commands Andrade to be thrown out of the ring, as Knight has a match to win. Andrade is tossed out of the ring by Brian Cage.



We hear from Mercedes Moné, who boasts about becoming the first-ever two-time Women's Owen Hart winner and how she dominates everywhere she goes and proves that she, not dreams, wins championships. She then says that the AEW Women's World Championship is the last piece to what is already hers.

Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

"The Jet" Kevin Knight retains the TNT Championship against Lio Rush. At the beginning of the match, Lio Rush shows up with a backpack containing a completely blackened Ring of Honor World Television Championship. It is announced that Collision will air tomorrow night at 8 PM Eastern/7 PM Central. After the match, Darby Allin shows up and wants a TNT Championship Match, and says that if Knight says no, what happened at Forbidden Door will keep happening. Callis takes the microphone from Knight and says Darby has been a great wrestler and champion, but he crossed the line from wrestler to criminal at Forbidden Door, and his family does not reward criminal behavior and that Darby will not get a match as long as he has something to say about it. Darby says that Knight has dug his grave as Callis says that Darby will not get a match and that Darby should be in a cell.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Tommaso Ciampa, who demands that Renee declare that he is better than Jericho. All of a sudden, Ciampa is whacked in the head with a garbage can by Jericho, who then tosses Ciampa into some chairs. When security gets involved out side of the arena in the loading bay, Ciampa jumps them and throws more things at Jericho while attacking security. He then tries to attack Jericho with a power drill before Jericho fights back. Security gets their hands on Ciampa, but Jericho dives on all of them from the back of a truck before even more security shows up and separates them.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Kenny Omega, who is conversing with The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson). Matt has faith in Omega to beat MJF, but Nick is a little apprehensive. Omega says he has not made a decision yet and that this decision is important, and asks what is left for him if he cannot challenge for the AEW World Championship and what is in it for MJF.

Jon Moxley and Will Ospreay beat The Lethal Twist ("Vanilla Baby" Blake Christian and "Big Shotty" Lee Johnson).



In backstage footage from after Forbidden Door, Lexy Nair interviews Adam Copeland and Christian Cage. Christian wants to know why "Switchblade" Jay White, and Copeland says that Jay White owed him a favor and that they are even. Christian mentions that he had and still has a problem with Jay White before Jay White's injury.

The Bang Bang Gang ("Switchblade" Jay White, Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin) heads to the ring. Jay White says he was out of action for 459 days and that things have changed since then, then says that The Bang Bang Gang are back together again and wants to know "who let The Dogs (Clark Connors, Gabe Kidd, David Finlay) out." Jay White mentions his history with David Finlay, then says that nothing changes the fact that Finlay is "a nepo baby bitch boy." He says that the stench of Finlay's arrogance has lingered for far too long and that he is here to clear the air, then says Sunday was just the beginning.



We hear from Shane Taylor Promotions (Shane Taylor, "The Captain" Shawn Dean, "Bad News and Tattoos" Carlie Bravo, "Taiga Style" Lee Moriarty) backstage. Shane Taylor says that they run Collision, and Carlie Bravo challenges The Bang Bang Gang ("Switchblade" Jay White, Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin) to a eight-man tag match at Collision.

Hikaru Shida beats Harley Cameron, Maika, Queen Aminata, Persephone and Kris Statlander in a Survival of the Fittest Match to win the vacant TBS Championship! Harley Cameron is eliminated by Persephone when Persephone takes advantage of Harley's showboating. Maika is eliminated by Hikaru Shida with a schoolkid pin after Shida uses referee Aubrey Edwards as a human shield. Statlander eliminates Persephone after Persephone counters Staturday Night Special with a roll-up only for Statlander to counter with a roll-up of her own. Statlander is eliminated by Shida by submission after Statlander gets to the ropes to escape an ankle lock only to be blasted in the face with the TBS Championship by an already-eliminated Persephone, which knocks Statlander out and allows Shida to win the match and become champion.



Kenny Omega heads to the ring when Will Ospreay stops him and asks Omega if he thinks this is a good idea, saying that he believes in Omega before asking Omega if he believes in himself. Omega says this is his Death Ground, and if he goes out, he goes out guns blazing. Omega then heads to the ring and talks about how he has been part of professional wrestling for more than half his life and giving the people everything that he has in the ring. He says he has won titles and set records that could never be broken again and has had a career that can be looked upon fondly, but there is a selfish part of him that knows that it is not enough and that there is a little bit more in the tank. Omega says that if everyone else can believe just one more time, then he knows he can be a champion everyone can be part of and stand on the greatest stage in Wembley Stadium and represent All Elite Wrestling against Will Ospreay. He says that the cost that MJF wants him to make is not too high, and mentions that MJF has anticipated the possibility that he is "the god of professional wrestling" that he has been known to be. Omega says that having one more chance to beat the brakes off MJF while he is still healthy puts a fire in him, and that he not only accepts MJF's challenge, he demands that MJF brings what is his. All of a sudden, Omega is attacked from behind by MJF, and Omega fights back until officials and security rush in to separate both men. MJF manages to get out of the ring as the show ends. (Some of the security guards are played by Dom Kubrick, Slade and McCallion of Delirium (both unmasked), and current United Wrestling Network World Champion Jordan Cruz.)

He says that his crew has a bit of a reputation in this match since their win against The Death Riders in Blood and Guts and that the match was all about the thrill of the battle. He then says that Sunday's match is a little more consequential. Mark Briscoe says that if his team wins, he will get a shot at "the scum of the Earth" MJF and the AEW World Championship, and he agrees that they are nothing alike. He then says he has beaten MJF once and he can do it again. He then says that he will walk into battle with his team, and that while MJF may have The Don Callis Family and its talent behind him, they do not care about him and that they would not even piss on him if he was on fire.

MJF says that the AEW World Championship is the only world title that matters and that he is the best in the world, then mentions everyone he is teaming with - "The Jet" Kevin Knight, Andrade el Idolo, Jake Doyle, Kazuchika Okada, and "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher - and says he is better than all of them. He then says that while everyone else he has mentioned is a star, Mark Briscoe is not, and that he hates Mark because the fans only like him because his brother died and because he is delusional enough to think he can take his title. Don Callis says that his family will be bringing the power tonight, and as he lists who will be in the ring tonight, Andrade wants nothing of a partnership with MJF. Don Callis tells Andrade that he will be a great world champion, "but for now, do the match."

Backstage, we hear from "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher and "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada.

Okada agrees, As they wonder who will stand across the ring from them, they soon reveal who will not be: Tomohiro Ishii, who the two of them have laid out.

Backstage, we hear from Tommaso Ciampa. Ciampa says he has just one reason to hate Chris Jericho, yet he did not always hate him; he used to respect him. He admits he hates what Jericho is now, and wants this Jericho out of his world. He then says that if Jericho still has it in him and considers him worthy, then they can dance. He says the ball is in Jericho's court, and that he should not drop it.

The Dogs (Clark Connors and David Finlay) are met by Adam Copeland and Christian Cage before they can head to the ring, and this leads to a brawl between the two teams that makes its way to the ring. Finlay saves Connors before Copeland and Christian can both rush at him, then Christian says that after what happened a couple of weeks ago, most people are expecting him to say something unsavory about a family member. He then says that even he has standards, and by that, he has never come cross another tag team who are named after their mothers. He also says that if Finlay thinks he is a gift to wrestling, then his father should have let him run down the inside of his leg. Copeland says The Dogs have been on a winning streak lately and why he is jumping and mocking them in order to make a name off of their backs, then says that he and Christian are The Dogs' learning curve. Copeland lists the tag teams they learned and picked intangibles from, then says that at Forbidden Door, he and Christian will use their old man strength, knowledge and grumpiness to make sure they walk out of their house as "housebroken little pups."

Swerve then shows up with Prince Nana, who makes fun of Schiavone's suit before telling him to get out of the ring and handing the microphone to Swerve. Swerve says it has been a year and that he has been keeping an eye on him, then says Swerve has changed and that he does not like it. Ospreay asks if they have a problem, to which Swerve says yes, as he finds it weird that Ospreay is hanging around Jon Moxley. Ospreay says he has not forgiven or forgotten what Moxley did to him, and that he had to let it go. He says that he and Moxley are training partners, and his neck feel great and his ground game is better. Ospreay mentions everything that happened at All In Texas last year and how Swerve did not help out with taking the AEW World Championship off of Jon Moxley. He asks why Swerve did not help, then smacks the microphone before stating Forbidden Door is bigger than an explanation. He says that Forbidden Door is Swerve's redemption, but it is his destiny. He says that this is the semi-finals for his World Cup and he wants to kick the winning goal at Wembley Stadium, and that Swerve is standing in the way of his dream and will not hesitate to end it. Ospreay says he will end Swerve if he has to, but Swerve says "Not if I do it first." Swerve mentions Ospreay saying that last year was "Hangman" Adam Page's time and how he agreed with him and fought alongside him, then asks where Hangman is now. He says that everything they did off Ospreay's word was for nothing, and that he will not just step aside for him. Swerve says he is done stepping aside to let people take opportunities he deserve and letting veterans step on his time. Swerve says he has made a career out of throwing Molotov cocktails at the system, as has Ospreay, and that the two of them have changed the conversation on what pro wrestling before and they will do it again at Forbidden Door. Swerve then says his victory is certain, as Ospreay has not beaten him in ten years, and when he goes over him to Wembley and wins the AEW World Championship again, Ospreay can challenge him again and get beaten again. He says that Ospreay is not better than him on his worst day with a fragile neck, and Ospreay punches Swerve.

Summer Blockbuster - Dynamite recap for June 10, 2026

Tony Schiavone introduces Tommaso Ciampa to the ring to start tonight's show. Ciampa has Schiavone once again declare that he is better than Chris Jericho, and insists that Schiavone do it under the pain of breaking his back like he did Jericho when Schiavone protests. Jericho shows up when Schiavone is almost done with the declaration. Ciampa asks Jericho what he has to say for himself, and Jericho wants to know who he has to talk to so he can wrestle somebody with hair, then admits that this was uncalled for. After Jericho calls Ciampa "Tommy," much to Ciampa's irritation, this leads to a "Tommy's Mommy" joke. Jericho asks Ciampa why he actually hates him, mocking his list as well as how Ciampa's face looks. Ciampa asks if this is a joke, and Jericho says it is no joke that he left him laying. Jericho then says Ciampa hates him because he is not Chris Jericho, stating that Ciampa had a strong debut only for him to return and feel like none of it matteed, then tells Ciampa to pull the stick out of his ass before he shoves it up even further. This leads to a brawl that has to be broken up.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Don Callis and "The Jet" Kevin Knight. Andrade el Idolo shows up, stating that he wants the World title, yet Kevin Knight wants it to. He tells Knight to get to the back of the line. Knight tells Andrade to watch him and how he handles business in the ring before he and Don Callis leave.

Daniel Garcia shows up to attack Bravo, but is attacked by "The Captain" Shawn Dean. Trish Adora stops Marina Shafir with a shinai as "Taiga Style" Lee Moriarty also takes part in the attack outside outside of the ring.



We hear from Mercedes Moné, who says that she is a global icon and the greatest to ever down, and that while everyone celebrated his downfall, she was watching. For six months, she says she watched the AEW women's division lose its power and fail to fill her shoes, then says she is back to prove who she is and take back what is hers.

Don Callis introduces "The Jet" Kevin Knight to the ring. Knight says everybody is upset with him when they should be upset at Darby Allin not getting the job done against MJF, and they should be upset at "Speedball" Mike Bailey for breaking up JetSpeed. He then says that the fans are not mad about he and Don Callis linking up and him being TNT Champion, and says that while "the bums in the back" love to wrestle for stars, Don Callis signed him up. He then calls out MJF. Instead of getting MJF, however, Knight gets Darby, who shows up from behind and smacks Knight with a skateboard before going on the attack. Darby says he hopes it was worth it for Knight, then flees through the crowd and out through the back door when the rest of the Don Callis Family shows up.



Mark Briscoe meets with Tony Khan at gorilla position before the next match.

Mark Briscoe beats PAC with the Jay Driller after getting the knees up for a top rope Shooting Star Press. After the match, Briscoe calls out MJF, saying he now has a direct path to a title shot and telling MJF to head to the ring so he can explain it to him. MJF does not show up until after the commercial break, but he is in the crowd, and he tells Briscoe he is the final word and the law here, and refuses to give Briscoe a World title shot. He says that a rising tide lifts all ship and that he is the rising tide of the company, and if Briscoe came near him, he would be nothing more than an anchor. MJF says that the fans should be cheering him for protecting the AEW World Championship from Briscoe, then says friends like The Conglomeration are "stupid" and "a liability," while he has money and "money talks." Briscoe is then attacked from behind by The Lethal Twist, who has been paid off by MJF. Briscoe fights back against The Lethal Twist, but the numbers game takes over. The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong, Tomohiro Ishii)shows up and makes the save for Briscoe, who then tells MJF that he spoke to Tony Khan and got a six-on-six tag main event match for Forbidden Door in a steel cage. If he wins, he gets his title shot against MJF. Andrade el Idolo then shows up for the next match against Orange Cassidy.





Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

As he says that he owes this to The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir), Alex Windsor rushes up to Ospreay and hugs him.

Backstage, we hear from a very raspy Jox Moxley. He cannot speak much before "The Problem" Marina Shafir tells Trish Adora that she can bring multiple weapons and it still will not be enough to take her down. Daniel Garcia likes the idea, and challenges Shane Taylor Promotions (Shane Taylor. "Taiga Style" Lee Moriarty, "The Captain" Shawn Dean, "Bad News and Tattoos" Carlie Bravo, Trish Adora) to a five-on-five Street Fight on Collision. He hopes Shane Taylor picked his friends carefully, as they have followed him straight to Hell.

Maya World beats Skye Blue with a jackknife pin in an upset win to advance in the Women's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament. (Maya World replaces Sarreee, who is not cleared to compete in the tournament after suffering a neck injury in Japan. Maya World, despite being offered time off to be with family following the sudden death of her brother, has elected to wrestling tonight in honor of her brother.)



We hear from Zack Sabre Jr., who talks about his win against Nigel McGuinness at last years' Forbidden Door and wants a match against Kenny Omega in the United States for the first time.

Backstage, we hear from The Don Callis Family. Callis is interrupted by MJF, who has a talk with Callis regarding the six-on-six steel cage match at Forbidden Door. Callis refuses at first, but MJF gives him a briefcase full of cash. Callis gives him five picks. "The Jet" Kevin Knight volunteers on the condition that he gets another World title shot, and MJF agrees on the condition that if Knight loses, there will not be another rematch. As the family leaves, Andrade wants to know about his title shot, and Callis gives Andrade his word that he will get a shot at the World Championship.

Swerve Strickland beats Brody King to advance in the Men's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament after Swerve nearly sends Brody into referee Aubrey Edwards, whose dodge out of the way allows Prince Nana to hit Brody from the outside.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for June 3, 2026

In backstage footage from earlier today, Renee Paquette interviews Rush, who says that he has his shot at the World title after three years and that he will die in the ring if that is what it takes to win it. He says that this is for his people, his family and his pride, and that he will take the World Championship. MJF dares Rush to finish his catchphrase and slaps him, and that leads to a takedown by Rush followed by both men being held back by whoever manages to show up.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Rush. Andrade el Idolo shows up and shakes hands with Rush before telling him to do it for his family, his people and for anyone who says that the two of them can be World Championship. He tells Rush to show MJF who he is.

MJF retains the AEW World Championship against Rush in a no count-outs match by submission with a crossface after Rush refuses to tap out in an act of defiance. After the match, MJF is about to blast Rush in the head with the AEW World Championship when Mark Briscoe shows up and nearly hits a Jay Driller only to get kicked in the groin. Before MJF can smash the title into Mark Briscoe's head, however, The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong, Tomohiro Ishii) rushes out and forces MJF to retreat.



Mark Briscoe beats Lio Rush. After the match, Mark Briscoe calls out MJF. He mentions the period after his brother Jay Briscoe's death and how he debuted alone at that time, and says that AEW saved his life and helped him get his anger out, yet he could still not find joy. He talks about how that joy was regained with the formation of The Conglomeration, then addresses how he and MJF crossed paths and how MJF made that anger bubble back up from sheer hatred. Briscoe says he pinned MJF in the center of the ring and caused him and the anger to go away for a while, but MJF came back, and so did the anger, and this time, MJF has something he wants: the AEW World Championship. Briscoe says that MJF whines and moans and complains until he gets his way, then says that he is a grinder who does his work and never complains before calling out both MJF and his manhood. He tells MJF to prove he is the best, and says that MJF is The Devil, then he is a child of God, and that MJF will lose. Briscoe then calls MJF "a moist-ass bitch" and demands he give him a title shot.





We see a video package chronicling the events leading up to "The Jet" Kevin Knight vs. "Speedball" Mike Bailey tonight.

Triangle of Madness (Julia Hart, Skye Blue, "The Toxic Spider" Thekla) shows up from out of the crowd, and Thekla mentions her promise to burn Stardom to the ground if one of its stars showed up in AEW. She talks about her history in Japan as "The Idol Killer" as well as getting fired over there, then says Triangle of Madness has three jobs to do. Skye Blue must win the Women's Owen Hart Tournament, while Julia Hart has to win back the TBS Championship. As for herself, Thekla has her eyes set on Forbidden Door, and Julia Hart and Skye Blue bring out a ladder as Thekla says she will close that door as she declares death to, not war on, Stardom. Thekla then climbs the ladder and spits on the Stardom logo on the LED board before flipping everyone off.



Backstage, we hear from The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia, PAC, "The Problem" Marina Shafir). Jon Moxley tells Will Ospreay that it is time to cast out his thoughts regarding Mark Davis forever, as they are both different men and Ospreay is becoming indestructible in mind and spirit to the point that Don Callis will have to hire an eighteen-wheeler to run him over. Moxley has noticed that there is more gang warfare in AEW, and tells Ospreay to focus on Davis while he focuses on everything else.



Andrade el Idolo beats DK Vandu. After the match, Andrade says MJF has the World Championship, and he wants it. He knows that MJF has beaten Rush, then asks MJF if he thinks he can beat him. He then asks MJF "How you know?" before Don Callis and Jake Doyle show up. Callis then announces the newest member of The Don Callis Family: "The Jet" Kevin Knight, who shows up and heads to the ring and hugs Callis. "Speedball" Mike Bailey then shows up for the next match.

"The Jet" Kevin Knight retains the TNT Championship against "Speedball" Mike Bailey after Jake Doyle distracts the referee so that Don Callis can trip Speedball down as he has Knight on the top rope. After the match, Knight celebrates being a part of The Don Callis Family, then says he is here to make it to the top, become a double champion, and beat MJF for the AEW World Championship.





Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews The Dogs (Clark Connors and David Finlay), who brag about taking out Adam Copeland and Christian Cage as well as The Bang Bang Gang (Austin and Colten Gunn), then celebrate with kazoos and malt liquor. The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) show up, and after they make fun of The Dogs, they challenge them to a match. Finlay says they will fight whenever they feel like it, then The Dogs leave.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews MJF, who is taking an ice bath as he tells Mark Briscoe that he is not getting a title shot, as the AEW World Championship is for winners and top guys like him. He says that his word is bond as well as law, then tells Briscoe to stop asking, as it is not happening.

Alex Windsor's wild card opponent in the Women's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament is revealed to be last year's women's winner Mercedes Moné, who has not been seen in months.

Mercedes Moné beats Alex Windsor by submission with the Statement Maker to advance in the Women's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament.



We see a video package for TayJay (Tay Melo and Anna Jay) vs. The Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross) for the AEW Women's World Tag Team Championships on Collision.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Don Callis and "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada. Callis says he has recruited many top stars and that he has become a magnet for championship gold, especially thanks to "The Jet" Kevin Knight. He then proclaims that Mark Davis will break Will Ospreay's neck, put him in the ground, win the Men's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament and go to All In, then says Okada will get back the International Championship. Okada says "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita is nothing without The Don Callis Family and that he will be coming back.

Backstage, we hear from Tommaso Ciampa, who says that he beat the hell out of Chris Jericho and will gladly do it again. He says the fans welcomed Jericho back with open arms, but while Jericho was gone, he arrived and claimed his territory. Ciampa then says that he is a patient man with a long list, and tells Jericho to stay home and lick his wounds before telling him that he will be waiting if he comes back, assuming he does not strike first.

Will Ospreay beats Mark Davis by submission with Death Ground to advance in the Men's Owen Hart Foundation after referee Paul Turner goes down after inadvertently taking an enzuigiri from Ospreay and The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia, PAC, "The Problem" Marina Shafir) and The Don Callis Family (Trent Beretta, El Clon, Lance Archer, "The Machine" Brian Cage, Jake Doyle, Kyle Fletcher) show up and brawl with each other while The Don Callis Family tries to break Ospreay's neck. Referee Bryce Remsburg rushes into the ring to replace Paul Turner as officiating referee, and Ospreay soon locks in the submission to make Davis tap and advance in the tournament.

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.
