Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for April 19, 2026

United Empire (Will Ospreay, Francesco Akira, Henare) beats The Don Callis Family ("The Machine" Brian Cage, Rocky "Azucar" Romero, Lance Archer) in a trios match.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada. Okada says that nothing is more important than family, unlike "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita, who left the family because he was selfish, and hopes that "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher does not make the same mistake. Okada says it is important that the International Championship stay in the family, and while he will be happy for Fletcher if he retains, but if he wins, he hopes Fletcher is happy for him and will raise his hand in the ring.

Tony Schiavone introduces "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher to the ring. Fletcher says everyone is in the midst of the greatest International Championship reign of all time and that he sees no reason for it to end any time soon, especially at Wembley Stadium. He mentions "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada's statement that family means everything, as he agrees due to his owing Don Callis so much, and while he is willing to go along with Callis' plan, Okada needs to know his role in this. He says that if Okada is as honest about family as he says he is, he will have no problem with him retaining. Fletcher then mention his and Okada's collective hate for "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita, calling him the most selfish and narcissistic person he has ever met. Takeshita shows up and heads to the ring, and both he and Fletcher soon brawl. Takeshita soon gets the upper hand and hits the running knee before following it up with the Raging Fire. Takeshita then holds the International Championship up in front of a downed Fletcher.

In backstage footage from earlier today, Renee Paquette has a sit-down interview with Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay. Ospreay and Omega talk about their first meeting; Ospreay considered it an honor, but he was out of his depth as he looked to make an impression, while Omega knew Ospreay as an oft-mentioned Internet darling, and while he was not blown away, he saw his potential. They also talked about their first meeting in New Japan Pro Wrestling. Omega notes that Ospreay was a completely different athlete at that point and filled his shoes in his absence, but Ospreay's name does not bring fans and money like his name does. Ospreay talks about how New Japan was during the COVID-19 public health emergency and what he had to go through while Omega had "an easy day on the job," and tells Omega not to mention numbers after what he had to go through. After Omega tells Ospreay that they both went through the same thing, Omega then talks about his experiences with Don Callis and how Ospreay had to get Don Callis to host their match in AEW. Ospreay says that Omega embarrassed him, but Omega says he did not have to use Callis in their Tokyo Dome match unlike how Ospreay had to use Callis at Forbidden Door. Ospreay says that the victory was an embarrassment, as everyone said the win was "all down Callis." Omega forgives Ospreay for that and does not hold it against him due to Ospreay's confession, saying it is music to his ears and making it feel like he beat him twice. Omega says that everything changed for him after his bout with diverticulitis, but it made him a better wrestler as he had to use his mind more than his body and he is smarter for it. He then asks Ospreay if he can say the same after coming back from breaking three discs in his neck and challenging him at the best he has ever been, saying Ospreay has quite the confidence in him. Ospreay mentions how every time he asked Omega not to give up on himself, Omega would hide at home for four weeks, and when he said he gave up, it cut his ego. He also feels that Omega does not really see him as his equal. Omega wants to know if Ospreay wants him at his best or at a weakened state, Ospreay says he wants Omega at his best in front of his family, fans and friends at Wembley Stadium, and that he cannot crumble under pressure and he must do it on his own. Ospreay says it has been a ten year chase and that when he beats Omega, he will do it with pride and honor when it matters the most. Omega says it was at 2023, but Ospreay failed, and that Ospreay will fail in his own home country. Security has to step in when Omega briefly mentions Ospreay's mother, and says that while Ospreay has a lot riding on Wembley and that Ospreay brings magic out of him, and that while his mother would be proud of him even if he loses, his son will want a new hero afterwards.Security has to step in when Omega briefly mentions Ospreay's mother, and says that while Ospreay has a lot riding on Wembley and that Ospreay brings magic out of him, and that while his mother would be proud of him even if he loses, his son will want a new hero afterwards.

Maya World retains the TBS Championship in a four-way match against Kris Statlander, Hikaru Shida and Persephone after reversing Staturday Night Fever with a victory roll.

We hear from The Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor), who look forward to punching The Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross) in the face after having seen the fear in their eyes in their last few confrontations and taking the AEW Women's World Tag Team Championships as they take their heads off.

Jon Moxley beats "Switchblade" Jay White by submission with a sleeper hold immediately after Switchblade kicks out of the Death Rider to advance in the AEW Continental Challenge Cup. After the match, The Dogs (Clark Connors and David Finlay) show up and attack Switchblade, but Orange Cassidy and Kyle O'Reilly quickly run in to make the save. All of a sudden, Gabe Kidd suddenly returns to assist The Dogs. Roderick Strong shows up and fights Gabe Kidd, but The Dogs, now at full strength again, overpower him. Brodido (Brody King and Bandido) and "Hangman" Adam Page show up, and The Dogs leave as they enter the ring. Hangman compliments David Finlay's boots before calling Finlay a dumbass, then The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona) and The Lethal Twist (Jay Lethal, "Vanilla Baby" Blake Christian, "Big Shotty" Lee Johnson) show up. Hangman says that he and Brodido are not missing Wembley Stadium, and if there is anyone wants a shot at the Trios titles, then they have to meet them at the Wembley arch at dusk, as the champions will be waiting.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Maya World, who says that she is not done yet after beating three of the best in AEW. Willow Nightingale shows up and congratulates Maya, then says she is a woman of her word and that Maya World gets the first shot at the AEW Women's World Championship on Collision. Willow says she has business with Mercedes Moné, but Maya says she could be the one facing Mercedes.

Jon Cruz, now known as Jonathan Cruz, shows up as MJF's personal translator to show Andrade just what exactly MJF thinks of Andrade el Idolo. He states that Andrade will never beat him, win the Casino Gauntlet Match, will not be AEW World Champion, and is also not "a real Latino man." He also says that he is more of a man than Andrade and that while he would challenge Andrade, he will not do it because Andrade is a coward. As Cruz leaves, Andrade shows up, a match is immediately made, and Andrade hits a big boot and the DM to win. Andrade then takes the microphone and addresses MJF in Spanish before calling him out. MJF's entrance theme hits, then MJF shows up on the video screen in his heated swimming pool. MJF says he decided to opt out of flying to Baltimore, Maryland and is happy to have done so, then says that the next time they meet, Andrade will be looking up at the lights in Wembley Stadium after messing with "The One True Champion." MJF picks Jonathan Cruz back up, hits him with The DM a second time, then says "How you know?"

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Mercedes Moné and Willow Nightingale, who are in separate rooms. Mercedes says she did not beat Willow badly enough because she is still smiling, but Willow says Mercedes will not take her smile or her title. Mercedes says she will end Willow, and Willow says she is smiling because she has the fans. She says the fans hate Mercedes because she tries so hard to be perfect while the fans know her for just being Willow, and that the fans have also seen her win the AEW World Championship and have connected with her along the way. Mercedes says that Willow was constantly in her way and smiling at her, then calls her a bully that everyone loves before telling her she has eleven days left to smile before she takes her smile and her title. Willow leaves her room, as does Mercedes, and both women soon brawl backstage before taking it to the entrance ramp. Officials and security rush out to restore order, and the brawl makes its way into the ring before Willow and Mercedes are pulled apart. Willow and Mercedes soon break free and go at it again, but security and officials move back into place. Mercedes teases getting out of the ring before charging at Willow again, and that leads to her being forced out of the ring and kept out before she is forced to the back.

Backstage, we hear from Prince Nana and Swerve Strickland. Swerve and Nana address "Hangman" Adam Page's challenge for the World Trios Championships at All In, with Swerve saying "Did you say anyone? Don't say it if you don't mean it."

Nigel McGuinness beats Hechicero by submission to advance in the AEW Continental Challenge Cup.

We see a video package for Darby Allin vs. "The Jet" Kevin Knight in a Falls Count Anywhere Match for the TNT Championship at All In.

Tony Schiavone introduces "The Jet" Kevin Knight to the ring. Knight yanks the microphone away from Schiavone and tells him to get out of the ring as he is uncomfortable with asking too many question, then says he has plenty of answers, especially for Darby Allin, who he says still thinks he is a young boy. Knight says that he is "a grown ass man" and the best TNT Champion of all time before calling Darby out, and Knight demands that Darby's music be cut and that Darby show that he has no weapons on him. Darby opens his jacket and shows no weapons. Knight says that Baltimore, Maryland is unworthy of seeing him fight tonight before telling Darby to get in the ring. Darby refuses, then all of a sudden, the pyro on the stage goes off, blinding Darby so that Knight can blast him with the TNT Championship. Knight then grabs a chair from underneath the ring, hangs Darby upside-down in the corner, wraps the chair around Darby's head, then goes for the coast-to-coast drop kick off the top rope and hits it on the chair. Darby is fitted with a neck brace and put on a stretcher, and Steven Borden, Sting's son and a close friend of Darby, also shows up to check on Darby.

Backstage, as Darby Allin is placed in an ambulance, "The Jet" Kevin Knight shows up and tells Steven Borden to stay in his lane and not to go "where the big boys play." Darby has to hold Borden despite his weakened state, and as Darby is wheeled out, Knight says "He wasn't ready for it, anyway."

Before the match, Will Ospreay has a verbal confrontation with Kenny Omega as Omega heads to the ring and has to be held back by security.

The Elite (Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson) beat The Don Callis Family (El Clon, Mark Davis, Jake Doyle) in a trios match. After the match, Lance Archer, Rocky Romero and Trent Beretta attack The Elite, and Romero and Beretta pull out a table from underneath the ring. All of a sudden, Adam Copeland shows up and fights the three of them before Christian Cage slowly heads to the ring. Copeland and Christian help clean house, but Christian inadvertently gets superkicked by The Young Bucks. Adam Copeland has a shoving match with The Young Bucks, allowing The Don Callis Family to go back on the attack. Omega is alone in the ring as the brawl makes its way backstage, then Will Ospreay shows up. Omega uses his Executive Vice President powers and sics security on Ospreay and tells him to get out like "the little English bitch that [he is]." Ospreay says "I'm gonna kick the shit out of you" and attacks Omega, but Omega hits a restrained Ospreay with the V-Trigger and tosses security out of the ring before giving him one last look at the AEW World Championship and putting him through the table from earlier with a One Winged Angel. At this point, Omega has snapped.

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.

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.)

Collision Course - Collision recap for May 27, 2026

After the main event of Dynamite, Renee Paquette interviews Don Callis and Mark Davis, with Rocky "Azucar" Romero having joined them in the ring. Callis hopes that Will Opsreay is watching, because Mark Davis will put him on the shelf. He says he knows Ospreay better than his own mother and that Ospreay was never the chosen one, just like "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita. Callis says that the only chosen one in the family is none other than "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher, who heads to the ring and hugs Don Callis before addressing his return from catastrophic injury in under two months. Fletcher says he is "a genetic anomaly" and "the picture-perfect performer," and announces that as of today, he is 100% cleared for in-ring competition. He then mentions one driving factor that inspired him to push harder and harder, and that was being the man who cut the dead weight of The Don Callis Family loose. Fletcher says he has been trying to keep the family together for the better part of a year and that Takeshita kept driving a wedge between him, and that Takeshita did what was best for him when he was gone. He says that Takeshita never cared about him or the family, and that while he wanted to sit along the top of the wrestling business along Takeshita, it will never happen, because Takeshita is "a selfish prick." Takeshita shows up, and The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong, Mark Briscoe) shows up to back Takeshita up. The five of them make their way to the ring, and Fletcher, Romero, Mark Davis and Don Callis retreat. Takeshita says that he has the International Championship back, and now, he wants Kyle Fletcher.

Backstage, we hear from Will Ospreay. He talks about the history he has with Mark Davis, saying he was at 50% when he wrestled him last, and now that he is at 100%, nothing is stopping him. The Death Riders (Jon Moxley and PAC) show up, and Jon Moxley says it is time for the next match.

Will Ospreay and The Death Riders (Jon Moxley and PAC) beat The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz, Dezmond Xavier, Myron Reed) by submission in a trios match.

Backstage, we hear from The Opps (Samoa Joe, Hook, "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata, Anthony Bowens). Samoa Joe admits that it may not have been the best week, but the mission does not change. He says that they still stand in opposition to those in their way, and give opportunities to those who deserve it. He says that Bowens will get the standing ovation that he deserves, then mentions that he will be stepping away for a few months, as Hollywood is calling, and expects the rest of The Opps to hold it down.

We see a video package for Kris Statlander vs. Hikaru Shida in a Lights Out Philly Street Fight for later tonight.

Backstage, it is revealed that The Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross) have just attacked TayJay (Tay Melo and Anna Jay).

Andrade el Idolo beats Ace Austin.

Kris Statlander beats Hikaru Shida in a Lights Out Philly Street Fight.

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.

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.

"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.

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.

He demands Tony Khan show up and change the stipulation for his match, stating that he will not take part in a Texas Death Match. "The Jet" Kevin Knight shows up and says that he has been getting the job done in the past few weeks, including when he kept him from fleeing to the back earlier this week with a two-headed coin. He then says that he will shut MJF's mouth tonight as he calls him "a crybaby bitch," and says that people are sick and tired of hearing his "better than you" routine and calls his scarf fake, saying that he is not just more attractive than MJF, but a better world champion. Knight says that he is the here and now and not the future, then MJF calls him an "ignorant, arrogant child" for telling him how to do his job before challenging him on next week's Dynamite with the AEW World Championship on the line.

The Don Callis Family ("The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher and "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada) beat Top Flight (Darius and Dante Martin). After the match, Fletcher declares himself and Okada the greatest champions in AEW history, but together as "Protokada," they are unstoppable. He dares anyone who wants to step up to them to do just that when JetSpeed ("The Jet" Kevin Knight and "Speedball" Mike Bailey) show up. Speedball reminds Fletcher that he beat him in the Continental Classic while Knight did the same to Okada. Knight says that "the math isn't really mathin'" with Protokada, but Okada says they have yet to beat them as a team. Knight likes the idea of a tag team contest, and states that he would love to defend the AEW World Championship against Okada after he beats MJF next week.

After mocking a potential recruit, Hook runs into Anthony Bowens, who says that he has had his back since he joined the company and wants to continue to have his back while having the accolades to back it up.

Thekla says she does not fight to win, but to kill, and tells Thunder Rosa to retire already before calling her and Statlander "the past of the women's division," as the women's division now belongs to her.

Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for February 11, 2026

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

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Don Callis and "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher. Callis says Fletcher does not have the pressure, because his family gives the pressure, and that Fletcher will head back home as a champion.

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

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

In backstage footage from last week's show, Don Callis congratulates Andrade el Idolo on beating Kenny Omega and says that things are looking up, and that he knew Andrade would beat him and settle the score.

Andrade thanks Callis for believing in him, then warns Hangman. We then hear from "Hangman" Adam Page, who hoped to prove himself against Kenny Omega but will have to settle for Andrade el Idolo. He tells Andrade to keep his pants on as he tells him that he will see him in Australia.

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

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for January 28, 2026

Kenny Omega beats Rocky Romero. After the match, Tony Schiavone interviews Kenny Omega. Omega admits he hates repeating himself, but he has not felt this good in years, and AEW is supposed to be the place where the best wrestle. He says that if he was not feeling like this, he would not claim a shot at the AEW World Championship. He says that regardless of who he has to go through, it is just business, and he will become AEW World Champion. Suddenly, "Hangman" Adam Page shows up and heads to the ring. Hangman says he would rather be fighting alongside Omega than with him, but if the World Championship is at stake, then so be it. He admits he made the mistake of looking past Samoa Joe at the prospect of defending against Omega, and he lost the title as a result. He says that this time is different, and with the amount of passion and respect that he has, he will be the next AEW World Champion, not anyone else. Swerve Strickland and Prince Nana show up and head to the ring, and Swerve says he has come back for the AEW World Championship and that since his return, he has not been pinned or submitted. He claims to have just as much of a right to the AEW World Championship as Hangman and Omega, and that his mission remains the same: coming back and reclaiming the AEW World Championship, regardless of who he has to go thorugh to do it. Omega says he fancies himself at being pretty astute at reading the room, and as much as he and Hangman have their eyes on the World title, Swerve looks more like he is looking for a fight. Swerve chuckles and exclaims "More than you know," then Don Callis shows up and tells Swerve to enjoy his recent undefeated streak while he can before Andrade el Idolo beats him later tonight and breaks it. He also tells Omega that when Andrade beats Swerve, Andrade will be coming for him. Callis also tells Hangman that he also has something special for him, and that the three of them will understand that his family runs this show.

Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

Mark Briscoe retains the TNT Championship against El Clon after escaping the Portal Bomb. After the match, Briscoe says he is reigning and defending, not ducking and dodging, and that he likes the idea of an open challenge for the TNT Championship on Saturday to anyone except The Don Callis Family, who he admits he is tired of. When Briscoe throws down the challenge, it is answered by Tommaso Ciampa, who has just left WWE after eleven years. Ciampa circles around Briscoe before the two of them have a staredown, and Ciampa states that he is coming for the TNT Championship. He then kisses Briscoe on the cheek to mess with him before leaving and celebrating with the crowd.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher and "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada. Okada tells Fletcher that he was not thinking regarding the screwdriver at Worlds End and that he also wanted Fletcher to win so that the Continental Classic could stay in the family. He tells Fletcher he did not mean to hurt him and apologizes. Fletcher admits he was angry and that it takes a big man to apologize, and accepts Okada's apology before shaking his hand.

MJF heads to the ring. Before MJF can get started, Brody King shows up, and when MJF says Brody is as deaf as he is big and stupid, Brody almost chases MJF out of the ring. Brody King stands in the corner to let MJF get back in the ring and speak, and MJF tells Brody that if he wants a shot at him, he needs to beat someone that matters, but instead, he is following him around like a lost puppy like he did Malakai Black. He also mentions Brody King following around Buddy Matthews before making fun of Buddy's ankle injury and mentioning Brody King's current partnership in Bandido, who he calls "a complete loser." MJF then says that Brody should follow him around, and that he can pay him handsomely since he is big, dangerous and talented. He admits they have to fix the aesthetic, as he has never met a liberal man who looks more like a Nazi. MJF says he will have Brody King looking good in a suit and a scarf, then calls Brody King's World title aspirations "cute" and "a dream" before telling him that to become World Champion, he needs to be a leader like him. He states that just like the fans, Brody King is nothing more than a follower. Brody says he does not need to follow anyone, and says that unlike MJF, he has friends. He also tells MJF that he has sat down with Tony Khan regarding an opponent who would be best for preparing for a title shot, and that they both agreed on MJF. Brody puts his hand on a confused MJF's shoulder and tells MJF to follow him, then says that they will have an AEW World Championship Eliminator Match, which he will win before facing him for the World Championship.
