Backstage, we hear from Athena. She says that the women's locker room is desperate and calling themselves gods while having virtually nothing to prove why they should have a shot at her title. She says that Hazuki has gotten the gleam of her championship and that at Death Before Dishonor, she will actually bet on Hazuki, because the odds are so stacked against her that if Hazuki beats her, she will be a multi-millionaire by the end of the night. She says that no man can touch her rain and no woman can stand up to her legacy, and that Hazuki and all of her little supporters will have to get over.
Caprice Coleman chops it up with Billie Starkz, who is pressed for time.

Billie mentions doing college coursework while on the road and getting help from Athena as well as referee Aubrey Edwards, as well as having bought her first house as well as her plans to own a farm. The interview is forcefully ended by Athena, who drags Billie Starkz out of frame and yells at Caprice.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for August 12, 2026
Will Ospreay heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Ospreay talks about his debut in Arena Mexico from last year when his grandfather passed away and how he will leave every single bit of himself in the ring for the fans, then says he is here to set an example. He mentions Kenny Omega not being in the building in Mexico and watching at home, and tells him that he will pull the trigger before stating that Omega is backstage and calling Omega out. Don Callis shows up instead. Callis talks about he turned Omega into the AEW World Champion and had a reign unmatched in AEW history until Omega decided he could do it without him. He talks about how he betrayed Omega and did more to him than diverticulitis ever could and how he brought Ospreay to AEW to face Omega before stating that Ospreay owes everything to him. Callis tells Ospreay that the road to All In will not be paved with gold, but with his own blood. Rocky "Azucar" Romero, Trent Beretta, Jake Doyle and Mark Davis flood out from the crowd into the ring and gang up on Ospreay. All of a sudden, Kenny Omega shows up with a pipe and overpowers the foursome before rearing back with the pipe at Ospreay and stopping short of striking. Omega says he felt that, and says that he has a way with words when he talks from the heart. He says he feels everything Ospreay says, but Ospreay wears his heart on his sleeve. Omega tells Ospreay that he warned him about Don Callis, Jon Moxley and MJF, and that this has made him a fool and will cause him to lose everything. Omega says that this is not the man he wants to fight at Wembley Stadium, then helps him up and tells him that he cannot help him like this again, as from here on out, it is just the two of them. Ospreay says he appreciates the help, but he did not ask for it, and he will not need it. He thanks Omega and leaves.
MJF beats "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne and "Speedball" Mike Bailey to enter the #2 spot in the Casino Gauntlet Match at All In by submission after tossing Speedball out of the ring following an Ultima Weapon to Nick Wayne and making Nick Wayne submit to Salt of the Earth. After the match, MJF says he told everyone what was going to happen and that "the champ always wins." He says he has never lost a day in his life, which is why he is walking into Wembley Stadium and leaving with the Casino Gauntlet Contract. When MJF says there is nothing anybody can do to stop him, Andrade el Idolo's theme hits, then MJF laughs, proving it was part of a joke. MJF says Andrade is not showing up because he beat him up last week. MJF also says that Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay are afraid of him, and that sooner or later, they will learn the hard way that he is "The One True Champion."
We see The Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross) at The Brawling Birds' (Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor) bar. They belittle The Brawling Birds and states that they have never beaten The Divine Dominion, and that they have a taste of the hell that awaits them, and that The Brawling Birds' greatest moment will be their greatest massacre. The Divine Dominion then raise a toast to The Brawling Birds before dropping it to the floor and stating they had a good run.
Backstage, Mick Foley interviews The Bang Bang Gang ("Switchblade Jay White, Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin). Jay White says the stars aligned perfectly for him at Forbidden Door, then says The Dogs (Clark Connors and David Finlay) and The Death Riders' (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir) days are numbered after getting the best of them. He says he and David Finlay go one-on-one more time, then hopes that Jon Moxley makes it through tonight so he can beat him to become Continental Champion.
"Switchblade" Jay White beats David Finlay to advance in the Continental Challenge Cup despite taking a hard landing on his neck from a German suplex.
Tony Schiavone introduces "Hangman" Adam Page and Brodido (Brody King and Bandido) to the ring. After Brodido celebrate being champions again, Hangman asks for permission to speak Spanish before Prince Nana and Swerve Strickland suddenly show up. Prince Nana tells Tony Schiavone his breath stinks before telling him to get out of the ring, then declares that he and Swerve will be asking the questions going forward. Swerve thinks Hangman and Brodido have become friends through "trauma bonding" after having beef with all of them, mentioning his history with them all before asking Hangman what his legacy will be now. Hangman says he has been watching Swerve for the past year and states that Swerve should not be one to talk about results after his heinous actions this year that he has nothing to show for. Suddenly, The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona) and The Lethal Twist (Jay Lethal, "Vanilla Baby" Blake Christian, "Big Shotty" Lee Johnson) show up, and Ricochet says they are on trios business while questioning why Prince Nana and Swerve are in the ring in the first place, given his history with Swerve. He also says that Brodido and Hangman stole the Trios titles from them, as Toa Liona's shoulders were not on the mat, and that the titles should still be theirs. Ricochet then demands that The Demand get a championship rematch. He then tells Swerve to get out of the ring as he has nine guys out here who all hate him and even more people who hate him in the back, and as Swerve leaves, he says that Brody King does all the barking while Ricochet is the bitch. Hangman says Swerve has a point, and dares The Demand to get in the ring and take the Trios titles back. Ricochet teases doing that at first, but says that The Demand and The Lethal Twist will do it on their time.
In backstage footage from earlier today, Renee Paquette interviews Willow Nightingale. All of a sudden, Willow is attacked from out of nowhere with the Women's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament championship by Mercedes Moné.
"The Jet" Kevin Knight retains the TNT Championship against Chris Jericho after kicking Jericho low following Jericho nearly hitting referee Aubrey Edwards with the Judas Effect. During the match, Don Callis hits Jericho with a screwdriver.
Backstage, we hear from The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir). Claudio says the Continental Challenge Cup is unpredictable and that whoever he faces, he will beat them, as The Death Riders are competing against themselves. Moxley says a number of crazy things can happen in the tournament, especially when he and "Jungle" Jack Perry roll the dice in Las Vegas tonight. He wants to know if Perry is ready like he is, and says that fortune shows a habit of doing just as she pleases.
Kris Statlander beats Viva Van. After the match, Mick Foley interviews Statlander, and we find out that Noelle Foley is in the front row. Statlander learns she will be in a four-way match for the TBS Championship next week against Maya World, Hikaru Shida and Persephone. Statlander says she feels great and ready to fight, and proud that Maya World is TBS Champion. As for Persephone and Shida, she will make them bend over backwards and shove their heads up their asses for everything they have done to her. Statlander says she was made for the TBS Champonship and has even fought wars for it, then Persephone shows up for the next match along with Shida. Before they can attack Statlander, Thunder Rosa shows up, as does Maya World. Statlander and Mick Foley head to the back as Shida and Persephone are on the outside.
Thunder Rosa and Maya World beat Persephone and Hikaru Shida after Shida inadvertently hits Persephone with a jumping knee after Maya World dodges. After the match, Kris Statlander celebrates with Maya World and Thunder Rosa.
We hear from Darby Allin, who has no regrets about his World Championship run. He says that Kevin Knight is burning the candle at both ends like he did as World Champion, but he did not win the right way. Darby then says he is willing to go far at Wembley Stadium, and that there is no amount of training to ready Knight for their match. He says that if Knight can beat him, then maybe he will live up to the potential that he saw in him all those years ago.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Don Callis and "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher. After stating that "Speedball" Mike Bailey brought out the best in him, he is still champion, and he hopes to defend the title a fourth time in a fourth country before All In. Don Callis says that there is a former champion who has yet to get a rematch. Fletcher finds out that at All In, he will defend against "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada as well as another former International Champion in a three-way match. Fletcher is livid, but Okada says the title will stay in the family. Fletcher angrily leaves.
Jon Moxley beats "Jungle" Jack Perry by submission with a sleeper hold in a first-time-ever match to advance in the AEW Continental Challenge Cup.
MJF beats "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne and "Speedball" Mike Bailey to enter the #2 spot in the Casino Gauntlet Match at All In by submission after tossing Speedball out of the ring following an Ultima Weapon to Nick Wayne and making Nick Wayne submit to Salt of the Earth. After the match, MJF says he told everyone what was going to happen and that "the champ always wins."

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.)
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.

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.)

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.
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.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for May 6, 2026
Tony Schiavone is in the ring to start tonight's show. He addresses the passing of Ted Turner and his role of professional wrestling on national television and how it found a home on TBS and TNT. He talks about how Turner made National Wrestling Alliance and World Championship Wrestling destination video and how he was there early on, and how, thanks to Ted Turner, it lives on in Tony Khan, Warner Bros. Discovery and All Elite Wrestling. He says that everyone is here today because of Ted Turner, as does Sting, who was also part of NWA and WCW's rise on TBS and later TNT. Sting is introduced, and he heads to the ring. Schiavone links Ted Turner to him and Sting being friends all these years, and Sting calls Turner "an all-in billionaire who loved pro wrestling" who was completely committed and devoted to NWA and WCW, even when NWA and WCW were in the red, as he had deep pockets. He says that nobody would be here tonight, much less him, Darby Allin and the TBS and TNT Championships without Ted Turner. On the subject of tonight's show, Sting says he and Darby took a blowtorch to this place for three-and-a-half years. He says that it is a great night to see Darby Allin defend the world title, then calls Tony Kahn "another all-in billionaire who is keeping the ball rolling." Schiavone also mentions the Turner Techwood Mansions on the TBS and TNT Championships's side plates. Tonight's three-hour show is then deemed in honor of Ted Turner's memory, and Ted Turner is given a ten-bell salute. In memoriam: Ted Turner, 1938 - 2026.
Jon Moxley beats Juice Robinson in an AEW Continental Championship Eliminator Match by submission with the bulldog choke after Juice Robinson passes out.
In footage from earlier today, Daniel Garcia talks about their recent 15-hour plane trip back from Japan and how it is The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir) against the world. Will Ospreay acts as a base for Wheeler Yuta's sit-ups before Jon Moxley mentions the concept of "death ground," a situation from which one cannot escape and it is do or die. He says that if Ospreay cannot get his neck right, his wrestling career is over, and that it is a privilege for Ospreay to come all the way up the mountain to meet the last one percent. PAC then covers the camera up with his hand.
Before the next match, FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Stokely Hathaway are accompanied by RPG Vice (Rocky "Azucar" Romero and Trent Beretta), The Dogs (Clark Connors and David Finlay) and Tommaso Ciampa, while The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong) are accompanied by The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson), Adam Copeland and Christian Cage.
Orange Cassidy beats Dax Harwood in a Double Jeopardy Match. As per pre-match stipulation, The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong) earn a shot at the AEW World Tag Team Championships. (Had Dax Harwood won, FTR [Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler] and Tommaso Ciampa would have earned a shot at the AEW World Trios Championships.) After the match, everyone at ringside immediately starts brawling, and RPG Vice (Rocky "Azucar" Romero and Trent Beretta) are surrounded by Adam Copeland, Christian Cage, The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) and The Conglomeration. RPG Vice are laid out for their trouble, with Christian Cage kicking Rocky Romero in the groin.
We see a video package for Rush.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Chris Jericho, who is now more than furious after last week. He says that the time for talking is done, and it is now time to fight. He then says he will take his fight to the people, and takes the microphone and heads to the ring. Jericho says he is done with the three-on-one beatdowns and "the bullshit," then demands that Ricochet talk to him face-to-face, one-on-one, man-to-man in the ring right here and now. Ricochet shows up with Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona, and Ricochet tells Jericho he tried to do him a favor by telling him to leave, but says Jericho decided to be funny. He also says that the three of them can make Jericho's humiliation kink a reality right now, then admits he is getting tired of this and wants to know what he gets out of facing Jericho. Kaun whispers in Ricochet's ear, which gives him an idea. Ricochet challenges Jericho to a match that Jericho himself created, and that he not only wants to beat him with the "Rico-sault," but also beat him in a Stadium Stampede Match. He also says that Jericho will not be able to find four other tag team partners because nobody in AEW likes him, but Jericho accepts the challenge and says he will find four other partners, and if he cannot, he will take Ricochet's team on alone. Jericho then calls Ricochet bald and hits him with the microphone, then fights off both Kaun and Toa Liona before hitting Ricochet with the Judas Effect. Jericho goes for a Lionsault, but is punched out by Toa Liona. All of a sudden, The Hurt Syndicate (Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin) show up and run to the ring, causing Kaun and Toa Liona to retreat while carrying Ricochet to the back.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Mina Shirakawa and Harley Cameron. Harley does not know how to feel, but Mina says that Statlander may be trusted, Shida cannot be trusted, and they have a match to win. She tells Harley to stop looking out there and look in her heart, then tears Harley's shirt, revealing her bra underneath. Harley says that the wrath is back as she tears her shirt in half.
Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.
"The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada retains the AEW International Championship against "The Bounty Hunter" Bryan Keith. After the match, Okada says he already has the International title, unlike "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita, but he wants more, and he is coming for the AEW World Championship.
We see a video package for Andrade el Idolo.
Backstage, we hear from JetSpeed ("The Jet" Kevin Knight and "Speedball" Mike Bailey). Speedball says that Kevin Knight will be a double champion, and Knight says that while he appreciates Darby Allin for being a fighting champion, Darby's body will give out and he will become the new champion.
Backstage, we hear from The Opps (Samoa Joe, "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata, Anthony Bowens). Samoa Joe says he put out an offer last week, but it is not being heard. He says that men like Jon Moxley are telling Will Ospreay what to think, but he wants Ospreay to think as he wants. He says that he sees the potential in and the tide rising for Ospreay, then asks how much of Ospreay will remain to become champion and says that with The Opps on his side, that could be a very long time. After stating that he has signed Hook up for a movie to give him a better opportunity to succeed, he says that he will do the same for Anthony Bowens and Katsuyori Shibata, then tells Ospreay the choice is his and that his intentions for him are clear. Samoa Joe says he will put his hand out one last time, and if it is not accepted, he will put out his fist.
Kris Statlander and Hikaru Shida beat Mina Shirakawa and Harley Cameron.
We hear from Prince Nana and Swerve Strickland. Swerve says that he told everyone two months ago that he was after power, and that real power is being the one who decides who eats and who starves. He says that from the most dangerous to the most violent, all the way to the most wanted, more power means more fear and more control, and there is nothing more dangerous than a man who wants power, and he wants it all.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Brodido (Brody King and Bandido). Bandido says that Swerve Strickland is right and that he is the most wanted, and if Swerve wants him, he is easy to find. Brody King tells Swerve that it is one thing to mess with him, but if Swerve messes with his friends, there will be hell to pay.
Darby Allin retains the AEW World Championship against "The Jet" Kevin Knight with a Coffin Drop on Knight as Knight is draped on the top rope followed by another Coffin Drop back in the ring.
Jon Moxley beats Juice Robinson in an AEW Continental Championship Eliminator Match by submission with the bulldog choke after Juice Robinson passes out.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for April 29, 2026
"The Jet" Kevin Knight retains the TNT Championship against MJF after MJF introduces the TNT Championship into the match as a front to use the Dynamite Diamond Ring as a weapon only for Knight to hit MJF with a low blow behind referee Bryce Remsburg's back and win and retain with an inside cradle. After the match, MJF hits Knight with a chop block, but all of a sudden, Darby Allin descends from the top of the arena and hits MJF with a Scorpion Deahtdrop. MJF calls Knight and Darby "two lowlife cheaters getting along" before stating he does not care about Knight and that the loss does not count before stating that all he cares about is the AEW World Championship. MJF demands his rematch, and Darby tells MJF he will not give him the rematch until he puts something on the line. He then gives the title shot to Kevin Knight before Brody King shows up and heads to the ring. Brody King tells Darby that he will not survive tonight, and tells Knight that he will face him and not Darby next week.
We see a video package for Brody King vs. Darby Allin for the AEW World Championship later tonight.

Backstage, we hear from Thekla and Skye Blue. Thekla says she would love to stop calling people dumb bitches, but AEW is full of too many dumb bitches. Skye Blue says what happened to Persephone was entirely their fault, then says the black mist was the best thing to ever happen to her and possibly to Persephone as well. Thekla tells The Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor) to stick to their tag team, as they cannot handle a spider and she is everything and they are nothing one-on-one.

Moxley applauds him for his loyalty, then tells him to "drop everything," as he needs no excess baggage. Moxley guarantees nothing and makes no promises, but he will see this through to the end as he has made a commitment to it, and asks the same in return from Ospreay, to which Ospreay agrees. Ospreay then finds out that he is training in the hallway before Moxley covers up the camera.

Spring Break Thru - Dynamite recap for April 15, 2026
Backstage, Renee Paquette manages to get an interview with MJF. MJF puts himself on a pedestal regarding his recent title defenses, including against Kenny Omega, then speaks with Don Callis, who apologizes about "the Andrade thing." He finds out from Callis that Darby Allin beat Andrade el Idolo and got a world title shot, then tells Callis that he owes him one. Renee has to interrupt, telling MJF that the world title match with Darby is not just tonight, but right now. MJF shows up angrily to the match, saying he is not taking part in an impromptu match that he found out about three seconds ago. He says that he has a lot of money and says that if something will not happen, it will not happen. MJF threatens to sue numerous people, including the fans, referee Aubrey Edwards, ring announcer Justin Roberts and even Warner Bros. Discovery, but that leads to a "Ring the bell!" chant that just angers MJF further. He says that his back hurts from wrestling for almost an hour against Kenny Omega three days ago, and says it would be a bad look if he wrestled with a back injury. He says he is doing Darby a favor, saying he is talented, but that fans like him because he is "like them." He says he is doing Darby a favor, saying he is talented, but that fans like him because he is "like them." MJF tells Darby that he is good, but not great, and is not championship material and not ready to be the AEW World Champion. Darby snatches the microphone from MJF and says it takes one night to turn the wrestling world on its head, and if he is not ready now, he will never be ready. He says he has done so much to represent the company, and talks about how he started his career ten miles from tonight's arena. As Darby demands the bell be rung, MJF begs Darby off. Bryan Danielson then relays a message from founder Tony Khan, saying that while he agrees with MJF, this match will be the main event. Also, if MJF refuses, he will be stripped of the AEW World Championship. Darby then tells MJF that tonight, he will beat his ass with a headlock takeover.
In backstage footage from after Dynasty, Tony Schiavone interviews Kenny Omega, who has nothing to say after his loss to MJF before heading into the trainer's room. He is met by Will Ospreay, and Omega says that the night did not go their way. Omega says he feels like he let everybody down, and while Ospreay tells Omega not to doubt himself, Omega admits he does not have much time in his career left before telling Ospreay that he has plenty of time and that it is all up to him now. Ospreay says he has been sad, dejected and crying for the last 40 minutes, but he still aims to be AEW World Champion, and he is not giving up on that dream. He tells Omega that he can still do it before telling him he has his back and leaving the room, saying that Omega is his hero. Omega then says that maybe he cannot give up and that maybe there is still a chance.
Tommaso Ciampa beats Dezmond Xavier. After the match, Ciampa calls Dezmond "the example," stating that he is sick of waiting and that he wants all of the gold, and if he hasn't made himself clear, he will come after who wins the AEW World Championship tonight. Ciampa then knocks Dezmond out of the ring with another knee and tears up a fan's sign on the way to the back.
FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Stokely Hathaway head to the ring. Harwood says he has read all of the talk online and says that the fact that FTR has won again has made everyone angry. He understands that the fans are angry because they love an underdog story because they think they can relate to it when they are just losers. He calls the fans "fat losers" and that FTR gave Adam Copeland and Christian Cage, yet they could not get the job done. He declares that while FTR are tag team champions, Copeland and Christian will never get another shot at their titles again. Stokely says that he does not need hoes because he has the AEW World Tag Team Champions as he addresses the fans who seemingly know everything, and compares FTR to Goliath while stating the locker room is full of "wanna-be Davids." Stokely says that every time David steps up to the lion, they get put down, and states that while Tony Khan will throw teams from CMLL and New Japan Pro Wrestling at them, they will all fall to the Goliath in FTR. Wheeler pays homage to Copeland and Christian's careers now that they have gotten rid of them, and asks that the fans join them in a moment of silence only to get booed. After a fraction of a second of silence, the fans get a ten-second pose. Wheeler thanks the fans and wishes them a great night.
"The Jet" Kevin Knight retains the TNT Championship against Claudio Castagnoli. After the match, Knight gives Claudio credit for being one of the hardest-hitting wrestlers in AEW, then says that will not stop him as he is the new TNT Champion. He addresses losing the Trios titles the night before he became TNT Champion, then says that one door closes and one door opens and that one must slow down to speed back up before proclaiming that he is riding high. Knight then says that he will be keeping an eye on Darby Allin vs. MJF for the AEW World Championship as "Jet 2 Belts" sounds "too fly."
Renee Young interviews Chris Jericho in the ring. Jericho says he feels so happy to be back in AEW and to be back in the ring at Dynasty, saying it was one of his best matches in a long time, even though he lost because he was outnumbered three-to-one. All of a sudden, The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona) shows up, and Ricochet says he meant it when he respected him and that Jericho got himself hurt like he said he would, and that he took him out with the Lionsault, which he calls "the Rico-sault." Ricochet says that while Jericho did not embarrass himself, he did not overcome "the rise of Ricochet," and tells Jericho to quit while he is ahead unless he wants to re-invent himself as "the guy who gets his ass beat by Ricochet every time he shows up." Jericho thanks Ricochet for his insight while making fun of Ricochet for his baldness and calling Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona "dumb and ugly," then dares Ricochet to get in the ring with him one-on-one. Ricochet tells Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona to let him handle this one alone before heading to the ring, but it is not long before Kaun and Toa Liona get in the ring when Jericho gets the upper hand. Jericho tries to fight back, but he is still overpowered and eventually laid out, and Ricochet gets the last word with "the Rico-sault."
In backstage footage from after Dynasty, Renee Paquette interviews Don Callis and "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada. "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita runs by, but Callis wants to know what happened from him. Takeshita sarcastically says it was an accident and sarcastically apologizes to Okada, who gets angry.
Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.
Will Ospreay beats Hechicero. "The Problem" Marina Shafir is seen watching the match from the front row. After the match, Ospreay is attacked from behind by Mark Davis, who hits Ospreay with a piledriver.
Renee Paquette is interrupted by "The Toxic Spider" Thekla from out of the crowd. Thekla brags about how she beat Jamie Hayter at Dynasty, then tells the fans to get used to her winning as the industry is full of nothing but "dumb bitches." Alex Windsor shows up and calls Thekla out for how she beat Hayter and says she should be the one to beat the piss out of her right now. Thekla tells Windsor not to get angry because she and Will Ospreay lost at Dynasty. Ospreay says she is the New Japan Pro Wrestling Strong Women's Champion and that Thekla is famous in Japan for getting herself fired. Thekla says Japan could not handle her just like how nobody here can handle her. Windsor says she can handle Thekla right now, but Thekla says no. Windsor then tells Thekla to put her title on the line so that she can face her on Collision, and Thekla accepts before Julia Hart and Skye Blue try and fail to ambush Windsor.
We hear from The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia). Jon Moxley says he likes to be surprised and that Will Ospreay never surprises him. "The Problem" Marina Shafir shows up, and Moxley notes from her that Ospreay is not looking good. Moxley says Ospreay showed him his cards, and contrary to popular belief, he does not enjoy the suffering of others, even though he appreciates the beauty of it. Moxley also addresses "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne, saying he knows nothing about him at all and wants Nick Wayne to surprise him. He says that Continental Championship rules are "adult stuff" and tells Nick Wayne to leave his mother in the back.
Willow Nightingale retains the TBS Championship against Kamille with a backslide pin despite Kamille attacking her shoulder during the match.
Backstage, we hear from Hikaru Shida and Kris Statalnder. Shida congratulates Willow Nightingale on her win, then says she and Statlander make a great team and that they will team up again on Collision, much to Statlander's confusion.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Darby Allin. Darby suddenly runs into Sting, who tells Darby that he knows what he needs to do and to go out there and do it. Darby says "It's showtime," but Sting says "It's your time. Go take it."
Darby Allin beats MJF to become the AEW World Champion! During the match, MJF hits Darby with a cheap shot behind the referee's back. Darby responds by nearly sending MJF into referee Aubrey Edwards, and when MJF stops himself, Darby hits a low blow, a Scorpion Deathdrop, four Coffin Drops, and - finally - a side headlock takover to beat MJF and become the champion. After the match, the locker room empties to celebrate with Darby Allin in the ring to end the show. Sting is the last to show up, and he hugs Darby before the show fades to black.
In backstage footage from after Dynasty, Tony Schiavone interviews Kenny Omega, who has nothing to say after his loss to MJF before heading into the trainer's room. He is met by Will Ospreay, and Omega says that the night did not go their way. Omega says he feels like he let everybody down, and while Ospreay tells Omega not to doubt himself, Omega admits he does not have much time in his career left before telling Ospreay that he has plenty of time and that it is all up to him now.

Jon Moxley beats Anthony Bowens in an AEW Continental Championship Eliminator Match. After the match, Moxley is suddenly hit with a Hidden Blade by Will Ospreay, who then grabs the metal folding chair used by Ahtnony Bowens earlier in the match to strike Moxley with it. The rest of The Death Riders (Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir) narrowly save Moxley, who accidentally leaves the Continental Championship in the ring as Ospreay calls him out for injuring people with chairs and usually having Castagnoli do the deed before telling Moxley that he wants his neck after putting a chair around his neck and doing the stomping himself. Ospreay says he will see Moxley at Dynasty, then wants the Continental Championship on the line so that there are no seconds at ringside and he gets Moxley alone for twenty minutes.
We hear from The Don Callis Family ("The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada, Andrade el Idolo, Mark Davis) backstage. Okada says that Andrade and Davis have a tag team match against The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz, Dezmond Xavier, Myron Reed), and tells Davis that this is a chance to get revenge to what happened to "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher, who he considers his best friend, unlike "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita. After wanting to know where Takeshita is, Okada tells Davis that he has a better tag team partner than Takeshita will ever be in Andrade, who he says is a future world champion, and tonight, Andrade will fight for Kyle Fletcher and he will fight closely.

He calls this the purest form of competition in pro wrestling and the Continental Championship the highest stakes in the game, and that Ospreay would be smart enough not to do this at less than 100%, which Moxley considers "one hell of a bluff." He says that The Death Riders are about keeping the sport pure, and that he will let delusional people be delusional and have them find out whatever they need to find out in due time. Moxley says to expect no mercy, even though he does not have to beat Ospreay because Ospreay will beat himself.
We hear from The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin).

The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona) beat The Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Ace Austin) after Ricochet hits Austin Gunn with the Spirit Gunn after Austin Gunn hits Bishop Kaun with 3:10 to Yuma before putting Kaun on top of Austin Gunn for the pin and the win. After the match, The Demand lays out The Bang Bang Gang, then Ricochet grabs the microphone and hits Gunn with it before stating that AEW is sabotaging his title reign and that regardless of how many people are in the Blackjack Battle Royal, he is the only one that matters. Ricochet says that he will walk in and out of the Blackjack Battle Royal as AEW National Champion.
Backstage, we hear from "Jungle" Jack Perry, who says that tomorrow night is an opportunity to realize a lifelong dream by competing in the building that made him want to become a professional wrestler. He admits things have gone differently than he thought they would, and while people have told him that he will fail, he cannot fail this time, because this is for friends, family and himself. He tells Ricochet he will see him at Revolution.
We hear from "Timeless" Toni Storm, who says that the circus seems like a dream at first only to not be. She says that every circus animal believes they rule the ring, but when the whip cracks, they sit. She says every circus ends the same way: the lights fade, the music dies, and someone is left lying in the sawdust. She says that when she and Marina Shafir reach their final act, Shafir will realize she is nothing more than a performer in Circus Timeless.

We see a video package chronicling the recent events between Kenny Omega and Swerve Strickland from last week's Dynamite. All of a sudden, Prince Nana suddenly shows up and confronts the commentary team, saying that Swerve Strickland does not care about a $100,000 fine before clearing off the announce table and introducing Swerve Strickland, who stands on the table. Swerve asks the "sickos" if they missed him and feels that they would have enjoyed what he did to Omega, then warns that whatever happens next is on Omega, especially after calling Brody King the most dangerous man in AEW and not him. He says that he will hunt Omega down and that he is a man of his word, and that Omega not only challenged him as a man, but as a threat. He says that Omega is yet another EVP that he took down and will not be part of his problems anymore. Swerve then declares that he has taken down all of the members of The Elite in three years before mentioning "Hangman" Adam Page's conversation about regret, and while he regretted what he did to Hangman, he choses to live live going forward with no regrets. Swerve declares that the AEW locker room is on notice and that anyone can get clipped at any time, and if anyone wants to get in his way, he will take them down, too.
We hear from Brody King and Bandido backstage. Brody says that he has a problem with Swerve Strickland thinking he is the next AEW World Champion. He says that he will prove why he is next in line for a world title shot in his match against Mark Davis.
Gabe Kidd beats Orange Cassidy after using referee Bryce Remsburg as a human shield before gouging Orange's eyes and hitting a piledriver for the win. After the match, Clark Connors gets in the ring, and he and Gabe Kidd attack Orange Cassidy.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Thunder Rosa and Kris Statlander. Thunder Rosa says she has no time to play games with "The Toxic Spider" Thekla and that the AEW Women's World Champion is not made for women like her. Statlander tells Thunder Rosa to be careful, but Thunder Rosa is confident can she beat Thekla as well as The Sisters of Sin (Julia Hart and Skye Blue) this weekend on Collision. When asked why she is concerned about Thunder Rosa in her match with Thekla, Statlander does not answer, and she walks away.
"The Jet" Kevin Knight beats Mansoor. After the match, Kevin Knight looks forward to what the stipulation for the AEW World Championship match at Revolution before proclaiming that "Hangman" Adam Page will wipe the floor with MJF. He also says that he would love to be the first challenger for the AEW World Championship after Hangman retains, then declares that he is not just the future, but the here and now.
Tony Schiavone is in the ring. "Hangman" Adam Page is introduced first, followed by MJF. MJF says Hangman may be brave and bold, but not a historian, as he will end Hangman's AEW career like he did "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes'. He then makes fun of the fans in Denver, Colorado for being potheads, then throws his gum out in "the garbage," which is the front row. MJF then proposes flipping a coin. Of it lands on tails, their match will be a Texas Death Match, but if it lands on heads, it will be "the one-way no-disqualification match." As this goes on, MJF's gum is thrown back into the ring. For his stipulation, MJF declares that in his stipulation, MJF can do whatever he wants while Hangman can get disqualified for even looking at a weapon. He then asks Hangman if he is a cowboy or a coward. Hangman says "I'll do it," then warns MJF about what he is doing here tonight, as the Texas Death Match would change him. He asks what would happen if he dragged MJF through broken glass or crammed barbed wire between his lips and tore his gums and tongue. He also warns that his usual tricks would mean nothing, as MJF may be "The Devil," but this hell is his, and if MJF gets the Texas Death Match, he will not stand a chance. Hangman boasts he can beat MJF in any match, including MJF's "dogshit idea," and if he puts his career on the line, he wants some finality, and if he cannot beat "a piece of shit like MJF," then he does not deserve the AEW World Championship. He says that he knows and understands MJF and feels like a lucky shot tonight, and dares him to flip the coin. MJF says he feels lucky as well, then flips the coin. It lands on heads. MJF's stipulation wins out. Hangman demands that MJF give him the quarter, but MJF walks off, saying he does not owe Hangman anything. JetSpeed ("Speedball" Mike Bailey and "The Jet" Kevin Knight), Brody King and Bandido stop MJF on his way to the back, and Hangman says he knows MJF too well. MJF is forced back to the ring, and the coin is revealed to be two-sided. Tony Schiavone then announces that as per Tony Khan, the AEW World Championship will be a Texas Death Match. Hangman tosses the rigged coin into the front row. MJF is distraught.

Brodido then takes the microphone and says he wants a fight, too. All of a sudden, Don Callis shows up with Andrade el Idolo on the stage.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher. Fletcher tells Tommaso Ciampa to be careful what he wishes for, because he got in the ring with the best and came up short, then says the TNT title is not going anywhere. "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada shows up and says that Fletcher is right and that they have constantly been champions, unlike "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita. He then proposes that they team up as "Protokada" on Collision, and Fletcher makes it a handshake deal.

Jon Moxley beats Mark Davis in an AEW Continental Championship Eliminator Match by submission with the bulldog choke.
In backstage footage after Grand Slam Australia, "Hangman" Adam Page says that Andrade is one of the best, but his best was not good enough. He hopes MJF is watching, because he will ruin any idea has has of a happy future, and tells MJF to pray that he does not win, for he will come after him and take his title.
FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Stokely Hathaway head to the ring. Dax says he has been wracking his brain trying to understand why The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) attacked them from behind only to realize that in 2016, they were the best tag team in the world and even coined the FTR name. He then says that The Young Bucks are now in second place behind them. Stokely says the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, which is where they are with The Young Bucks. He says that this pisses him off and that it all pisses him off that The Young Bucks shook hands with The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz and Myron Reed) and Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy) even though they forced Private Party out of the company. Stokely says there is hypocrisy in the situation and states that they hate their coworkers so much it is overwhelming. As Stokely mentions how much he hates The Young Bucks' family, The Young Bucks superkick FTR before confronting Stokely. The Young Bucks superkick Stokely before mentioning that they are #1 contenders for the AEW World Tag Team Championships, and throw down the challenge for the titles at Revolution.

MJF also hates the "Cowboy Shit" chant and the fact that Hangman holds two wins over him, and says that Hangman is "a lucky shot" who is nowhere near better than him. He then says that something is off about Hangman and that he can smell it, and says that Hangman is in his own head after being at the top of the mountain twice only to crumble under pressure. MJF then proposes that if Hangman were to become world champion and crumble a third time, he would be exposed as a fraud, and while he feels Hangman is a lucky shot, he is all out of bullets, and he looks forward to ending "the myth of Hangman and his cowboy shit." Hangman says that the fans carried him to the World Championship, especially as he beat the dogshit out of MJF. He says that if anyone is a lucky shot, it is the man who had a guaranteed shot and sat on it until he waited until the last second, kicked him in the balls, and collected the spoils of greater men. Hangman says that as much as MJF hates him, he hates MJF worse, not just because of his lies and deceit, but because he has never met someone more like him. He says that MJF is desperate for love and acceptance and wants to make his mark, which reminds MJF of himself. He says that he wants to end this for good at Revolution, and that MJF also feels that they cannot have a regular wrestling match. Hangman tells MJF to think of a stipulation, then lets the fans think of what the match should be. MJF says Hangman is out of his mind if he wants something other than a regular wrestling match. Hangman says he knew MJF would says that because he is scared and a coward, and agrees to give his word that if he does not win, then he will never challenge for the World Championship ever again. MJF tells Hangman that he has a deal, but as far as his stipulation goes, he thinks things through, and he needs a week to think over his stipulation, as he does not shoot first and ask questions later like Hangman. Hangman then tells MJF that he already has his answer: Texas Death.
We hear from The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garcia). PAC says that The Don Callis Family is not like them, and challenges them to a match at Collision. Daniel Garcia says that "family" is just a title for The Don Callis Family and not something that they are willing to die for. Moxley says he is not done with Konosuke Takeshita and that at Revolution, there will be no time limit and that one person will get the other for as long as it takes.

"The Jet" Kevin Knight beats The Beast Mortos.
We see another vignette for Will Ospreay, who says that when he comes back, he will be better than ever.
Backstage, we hear from The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona). Ricochet says he has put "Jungle" Jack Perry back into the dirt and can move on to better things. Bishop Kaun wants to know where everybody's priorities lie, and Toa Liona says that they will take the AEW World Trios Championships on Collision.

He then sends Omega over the top rope and tries to hang him, then clears the announce desk, pulls the ring steps towards it, and puts Omega through the announce desk with a Vertebreaker.
