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.

Let's Go! - LFG recap for May 3, 2026

For the first match, Matt Bloom assigns Natalya to Carlee Bright, who needs to lean into her physicality.

For the second match, Booker T will work with Harley Riggins and Jax Presley, while Kevin Owens will work with Harlem Lewis and Mike DeRudder (who later becomes Dorian Van Dux). Matt Bloom wants to see a tag team match and not four individual matches. Bubba Ray gets to work with Nathan Cranton (who later becomes Tristan Angels), while Booker T gets to work with Drake Morreaux. Bubba Ray says that Morreaux has something, and Matt Bloom says that it is sink or swim time for Morreaux.
We hear from Drake Morreaux, who is happy for his friends to get opportunities but wonders when he will get his, but at the same time, he does not want to be in a situation where he is let go from WWE. We are introduced to Layla Diggs, who talks about her college track and field career as well as her ability to make ring gear as she speaks with Kevin Owens, who tells her to be expressive. Natalya speaks with Carlee Bright, who talks about her cheerleading background prior to WWE. Natalya tells her to be selfish and to keep what her opponents think about her in her mind for her comeback.





Carlee Bright beat Layla Diggs. Natalya says that Carlee is good at selling, and Kevin Owens notes that Carlee is moving around and "not just dying." They both agree that both women did well in the match. After the match, Layla feels she was not as much in the moment as she felt she would be, but Owens feels otherwise as he gives advice on selling throughout the match. Natalya tells Carlee that she felt something different out of her during the match, and that she did well during the comeback.

We are introduced to Harley Riggins and Jax Presley, who talk about their college football backgrounds. Booker T teaches them about having a playbook as a tag team is very important.

Booker T says that Harley Riggins and Jax Presley know how to make themselves look good, but need to learn how to make their opponents look good. After the match, Harley and Jax disrespect Harlem and DeRudder by sitting on them. Owens admits the match was boring and that he did not have a reason to cheer for them . Booker T tells Harley and Jax that they had "four minutes of heat" amd to handle things in the back in case there is a problem.

Booker T and Bubba Ray Dudley talk with Nathan Cranton, who is a seventh-generation sheep shearer whose grandfather was a big professional wrestling fan. Booker T sees big things in Nathan Cranton. Meanwhile, Bubba Ray tells Drake Morreaux that he believes in him and wants him to succeed, but he cannot wrestle for him. He says that "it has to happen now," and that he has to get over or get out. Matt Bloom says Morreaux has to be "a big, dangerous guy" tonight.



Drake Morreaux beats Nathan Cranton with a choke slam after Cranton is caught using the ropes for leverage on a pinfall attempt by the referee. After the match, Bubba Ray talks with Drake Morreaux, telling him that Shawn Michaels watched his match as intently as possible. Morreaux says he did the best he could, to which Bubba Ray says that Morreaux gave the right answer. The next morning, Drake Morreaux meets with Shawn Michaels, and finds out that his time in the Performance Center has come to an end. He says that while there is not a space for him in NXT, there is a huge opportunity for him in AAA, and that he will be in NXT hopefully sooner rather than later. Bubba Ray Dudley is proud of Drake Morreaux and wishes him the best of luck. Morreaux talks about his time on LFG and is happy to continue to build on what he started in NXT in AAA.

Bowens is soon interrupted by "Big Shotty" Lee Johnson and Blake Christian, and Christian says Bowens may have beaten him, he did not outshine him.

Backstage, General Manager Nick Aldis is met by Paul Heyman, who asks if he has gotten his memo. Aldis says he did, then says "Request denied," saying that he will not pull Kevin Owens and Randy Orton out of their match tomorrow night. Heyman then says that that whatever happens to Owens and Orton will be on Aldis' conscience, not his. When Aldis asks Heyman if he is in charge, Heyman says there is a difference between being in change and being in control and that he has not spoken to Roman Reigns since WrestleMania. Aldis asks about Roman pulling out of the Draft, Heyman says he did it, not Roman, as he cannot subject Roman to the drama in The Bloodline right now just like how Aldis cannot subject Owens and Orton to what will happen to them tomorrow night. Aldis says that if Heyman can pull Roman out of the Draft, he can try pulling Owens and Orton out of their match on The RKO Show, which is coming up next.

It's time for The RKO Show. Kevin Owens admits that tonight's show was not intended to have a guest and that he and Randy Orton would just have fun with the crowd, but he kept getting call after call from Paul Heyman, who finally wore him down at 4 AM, saying he had something important to tell him and Orton. Paul Heyman shows up and introduces himself before Orton has a chance to do so, and says he comes with respect, admiration and wisdom. He refuses to step into the ring with Orton makes it known he wants to RKO him. Heyman stays on the ring apron as the crowd chants "We want Roman," to which Heyman responds "More than you'll even know, I want Roman, too," then says that he has respect for Owens and Orton for their matches with Roman Reigns. He also says that Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga play by different rules than Roman, and tells them to back out of tomorrow night's match, but Owens and Orton find this almost laughable given the current state of everything happening around Heyman. When Orton asks Heyman who the real Tribal Chief is, Heyman says there is only one Tribal Chief before Owens and Orton are attacked from behind by Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga, which leads to a brawl. Security shows up, but they get decimated.



Backstage, we hear from The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford), who say that they will put a whupping on Grayson Waller and Austin Theory and walking out WWE Tag Team Champions.

LA Knight beats Angel. After the match, LA Knight says it is the same song all over the world, but instead of saying this is his ring, he will make the ring his, as he is declaring for the King of the Ring Tournament. Santos Escobar interrupts, saying LA Knight keeps talking and running his mouth, and says that while LA Knight keeps running his mouth, he will keep winning. LA Knight says that when he stops talking, that will be when he stomps out Escobar, leaving him wondering what he was thinking and realizing it is his game.





Backstage, Byron Saxton interviews Carlito, who says that he has been away from WWE for many years and that he wanted a WrestleMania moment, but instead, Rey Mysterio chose Dragon Lee instead of him. This soon leads to Dragon Lee attacking Carlito.



Grayson Waller and Austin Theory retain the WWE Tag Team Championships against The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford).

Mike and George are golfing when Marjo complains that she cannot pay for her Uber Black. Mike realizes that Marjo has no idea of the value of money, and tells her that her credit card has been cut off. Geroge offers to give Marjo a job on the food truck, which works in Mike's favor even more.

Mike heads back home from being on the road and takes out the trash, as Marjo has been too busy with work.

Maryse gifts Mike with a billboard which states that Mike is "To The World's Greatest Father!" Mike then gifts Maryse with a picture frame containing a title deed for an acre of Mars, and tells her this is the beginning of her gift.

Mike and Maryse agree that Marjo knows the value of a dollar, but miss Marjo helping around the house. Meanwhile, George calls Mike, saying that Marjo is not working out as she would rather talk to people than work.

Charlotte says that she snapped Asuka's undefeated streak and put Rhea Ripley on the map last year, then says that Asuka took her opportunity. She says she is happy to be reinstated, but she says that WrestleMania Backlash will not be a big deal without her. She says that Asuka and Rhea Ripley can only take the women's division so far, and that she is the only who can take it further because she is an influencer and a locker room leader. Charlotte tells Sonya she made the right decision in reinstating her, and says that the women's division and the fans need her before demanding a match of her worth and demanding she be in the WWE Raw Women's Championship Match at WrestleMania Backlash. After Charlotte tells Sonya to "be fair to Flair," Sonya adds her to the match. Rhea Ripley then shows up, saying she has put up with enough from Charlotte's mouth and calls the decision "absolute crap," saying nobody likes Charlotte. Rhea says she is confident she can beat Asuka one-on-one because she already did and became champion, then calls this "part of Sonya's plan" before Asuka shows up. Asuka also calls this "crap" before calling Charlotte a whining, crying baby before saying it does not matter, as she can beat both Charlotte and Rhea and become Raw Women's Champion again. Charlotte says this is why she is better than Rhea Ripley and Asuka, for they both lose their minds when thrown one curveball, then says she will leave WrestleMania Backlash as champion. Rhea Ripley confronts Sonya, then Charlotte attacks Rhea from behind. Asuka then attacks Charlotte from behind and stands tall in the ring.

Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviews Bobby Lashley vs. Braun Strowman should not even be happening, much like the Triple Threat Match at WrestleMania Backlash, after all that Lashley has had to go through to get here.

The Lucha House Party (Gran Metalik and Lince Dorado) beat Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin. After the match, Cedric yells at Shelton, saying they went from being tag team champions to this, and says it is no wonder that MVP and Bobby Lashley kicked them out of The Hurt Business before saying he should have turned his back on him, too. He asks Shelton Benjamin how much time he has spent wasting opportunities and how much time has left, then says he is in the prime of his life and is tired of keeping his alive, and says that their partnership is over.



Backstage, Drew Gulak finds Angel Garza and says that he can't score despite being a ladies' man and that his rose smells worse than his win-loss record, then challenges him to a match and says he will be the one smelling roses. Garza says that he is the one who is going to win and that the rose is going up Gulak's ass.

Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviews Shelton Benjamin, who says he has survived a long time in the business because he can take the hit, and while he has seen young guys come and go, he saw something in Cedric Alexander that nobody else did. He says that if Cedric does not want to take the hit and learn from him, that is fine, but he will respect him or else Cedric will end up another young star who fizzles out while he continues to survive.

Angel Garza beats Drew Gulak.

After the match, Garza sticks his rose in Gulak's tights and kicks him in the butt after sticking the rose near Gulak's nose.

Randy Orton and Matt Riddle beat Elias and Jaxson Ryker.



Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviews Drew McIntyre, who says that he does not care who wins between Braun Strowman and Bobby Lashley are long as they beat the crap out of each other. As for Mace and T-Bar, he has more questions than answers, and says what is meant to be will be, which is caving Braun Strowman's head in to become the WWE Champion. Strowman shows up and says he earned his opportunity last week, and says he will walk out of WrestleMania Backlash as WWE Champion. McIntyre says that may or may not happen, and tells him to leave. Strowman does.

Sheamus vs. Mansoor ends with Humberto Carrillo running into the ring and attacking Sheamus. Carrillo fights back after what happened backstage earlier in the show, but he gets a Brogue Kick, as does Mansoor.



It's time for Alexa's Playground. Alexa Bliss says Lilly likes to play hide-and-seek, but that Lilly has been found in some interesting positions, and where Lilly seems to go, trouble follows. Alexa then says that somebody may have caught Lilly's eyes, but she cannot reveal who that is yet. Alexa then says not to blame her for what happens next.



Nia Jax and "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler quickly retain the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships against Lana and Naomi with the Kirifuda Clutch from Baszler to Lana following the distraction from Reginald.



Backstage, MVP says that Braun Strowman may be one of the strongest individuals he has seen, but he is not as strong as Bobby Lashley. He says the next match will be between two bulls who can tear bone from flesh, and that one bull will walk out and his name is Bobby Lashley.

Bobby Lashley beats Braun Strowman after Lashley throws Strowman into Drew McIntyre - who guests on commentary in the middle of the match and distracts Strowman on the way there - and McIntyre distracts Strowman afterwards.

He says it has a time-honored tradition for a new champion to come out and celebrate, then says that "The Machine" Brian Cage is nowhere to be found after what he did to him at Rebellion. He says it has a time-honored tradition for a new champion to come out and celebrate, then says that "The Machine" Brian Cage is nowhere to be found after what he did to him at Rebellion. Elgin proclaims that he wanted to put Cage in the hospital, and calls it an embarrassment that people cheered Cage over him and that "we Canadians should stick together." He then tells Cage that he left Japan to become Impact World Champion, and that after Rebellion, he is the only person worth a chance at the title. Suddenly, Johnny Impact shows up. Johnny calls the whole situation "deja vu," as dealing with Elgin is not much different from dealing with Cage, and after both men take potshots at each other, Johnny says he sent Cage to the hospital, not Elgin. Elgin tells Johnny that Cage was still standing and it took an Elgin bomb to send him to the hospital, then Johnny states that he is entitled to his World title rematch. Suddenly, Konnan shows up and says that now that The Latin-American Xchange (Santana and Ortiz) and The Lucha Bros. (Pentagon Jr. and Fenix) are family again, he can state that Pentagon Jr. is not only deserving of a World title shot, but at the front of the line. Johnny says that he has won rounds of Mario Kart that are shorter than Pentagon Jr.'s title reign, and Elgin puts his hands on Konnan to send a message to Pentagon Jr., and Pentagon Jr. runs in and fights Elgin until security steps in. Johnny gets a cheap shot on Elgin before almost leaving, Elgin makes a point by overpowering seven members of security when Johnny tries to fight Elgin again.



It is announced that "The Machine" Brian Cage has suffered a back injury during Rebellion.

Ace Austin beats "The Canadian Destroyer" Petey Williams.



Backstage, Rosemary says that with The Undead Maid of Honor taken, it is time to take Kiera Hogan out.

We hear from Sami Callihan, who says that his feud with Rich Swann has run its course and that having oVe banned from ringside at Rebellion took him out of his element, and says that if Swann does not want to re-join the family, then the two of them can have a 4-on-4 oVe Rules match next week.



Rosemary beats Kiera Hogan by disqualification after Su Yung and her undead bridesmaids attack Rosemary. After the match, Su Yung and the undead bridesmaids attack Rosemary, and Kiera Hogan teases gettting in the ring before deciding not to make the save for Rosemary, whom Su Yung lays out with the Panic Switch. The Undead Maid of Honor leaves with Su Yung and the undead bridesmaids.





Backstage, Melissa Santos interviews Taya Valkyrie, who says that she has beaten every single woman Impact has put in front of her. Madison Rayne shows up and tells Taya she has beaten her twice and that she should have a title shot. Taya tells Madison Rayne that she will get a match against her, but it will not be the match that she wants.



The Impact Plus Flashback of the week is Rob Van Dam vs. Rhino in a First Blood Match at Final Resolution 2010.

Backstage, Taya Valkyrie comes out of a meeting with management and says she does not have to defend the Knockouts title for 30 days, and if Madison Rayne wants a match with her, she can have it next week, but it will not be for the title.

Konnan meets with Santana and Ortiz and tells them that there will be more gold in the family, and that the tag team gold will be defended at Code Red before they take on The North (Ethan Page and "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander). After Ortiz mentions that they have more pressing matters with The Rascalz (Dezmond Xavier, Trey Miguel, Zachary Wentz), but Konnan tells them to focus on Sunday.

Fenix beats Eddie Edwards after Killer Kross - who has been watching the match from the ramp - grabs Kenny the Kendo stick to hand Kenny to Eddie only to not let go, allowing Fenix to get the win. After the match, Killer Kross leaves with Kenny.



Backstage, Tommy Dreamer meets with Rich Swann and tells him he has his back. Swann says they need just one person as Willie Mack will have their back, then "The Smoke Show" Scarlett Bordeaux shows up. Swann is concerned about Scarlett being part of the team, but Scarlett proposes that Fallah Bahh be part of the team. Swann and Dreamer love the idea.

Rob Van Dam shows up. He says he is here because of who he is, even though the talent in the back is amazing and that there potential classic matches, because his influence is felt by a lot of wrestlers in Impact. He says that the guys in the back are in a competitive state of mind, and he is ready to show them the difference between imitating what they've seen him do and what he himself can do. Suddenly, Ethan Page shows up. Page has two steel chairs in his hands, and says he has a way of using steel chairs that RVD has never thought of before. He then sits in one, then says he is here to welcome him as a friend before asking RVD to sit with him in the other. Page tells RVD he is no hero to him and that he has not looked up to him even once, and says he would never have done of his signature moves. RVD picks his chair up, and says that if he wants a match, they can do it right now. Page tells RVD to "take [his] medicine and calm down" so they can do it next week. RVD throws his chair to Ethan, then kicks the chair into Page's face.





Backstage, "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander chews out Ethan Page for picking a fight with Rob Van Dam when they have a tag team title match on the same night. Moose shows up and says that he will help out with both Rob Van Dam and The Latin-American Xchange (Santana and Ortiz) before he flies the two of them to the real Los Angeles.

We hear from Gail Kim, who is both relieved and saddened that her career came full circle at Rebellion. She says that Tessa Blanchard is the future and that she is glad that Tessa had her moment with her. Gail says she is satisfied with her career and how it ended.



In backstage footage from Rebellion, Tully Blanchard congratulates Tessa Blanchard and says that this is the first of many winning moments for her. Tully then tells an interview that watching one's offspring blossom and get a win on a veteran like Gail Kim, he cannot help but get flashbacks from his own careers and the respect that he earned. He also says that Gail and Tessa have respect for each other much like he did with the men he wrestled with back in the day.



Next week: An update from "The Machine" Brian Cage! The Latin-American Xchange (Santana and Ortiz) vs. Moose and "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander! Taya Valkyrie vs. Madison Rayne! Rob Van Dam vs. Ethan Page! oVe (Sami Callihan, Jake Crist, Dave Crist, Madman Fulton) vs. Rich Swann, Willie Mack, Fallah Bahh and Tommy Dreamer!
