Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for April 22, 2026

MJF angrily heads to the ring with purpose to start tonight's show. He says he is not like "[the fans'] paper champion" Darby Allin and demands the respect he deserves, then calls losing the AEW World Championship to Darby "the Seattle Screwjob." MJF says that he was in a war with Kenny Omega at Dynasty, then three days later he shows up and finds out that he is wrestling Darby Allin with little notice and is given a fast count by referee Aubrey Edwards. He calls Darby "a dirty little cheat" who could not beat him if he was either 100% or prepared, then says that he is the most complete professional wrestler in the history of the sport who has beaten every top name the business has to offer. He also states that he is the man who made sure that "Hangman" Adam Page can never be AEW World Champion again and the one to kick out of the One Winged Angel like it was nothing, for he is the best of the world. MJF then says he does not care about Darby's match with Tommaso Ciampa and demands that Darby come to the ring and return the AEW World Championship right now. Instead of Darby, however, "The Jet" Kevin Knight shows up. Knight says that MJF is whining like a little bitch, then says things are about to get real before stating that a real champion is willing to defend their title at any time, and reminds MJF that he had to cheat to beat him. He also says that he should be a double champion right now. MJF goes to mock Kevin Knight, then says he beat him with a Heatseeker for an easy win and that if anyone should be World Champion, it is him and him alone. MJF goes on to say call Knight "a TNT Championship-type" and "someone with a ceiling" who will never be AEW World Champion, and someone who should know better than to step in his ring and breath in his air. He also states that Knight should not even mention the AEW World Championship, which causes Knight to tell MJF to shut him mouth before he sends him packing, as anyone can look at him and see a goldmine. Knight also states that some of the best have held the TNT Championship and that it is surprising that MJF has never held it, and decides that he should hand MJF an ass-whupping. MJF wants to know what is in it for him, but then believes that Knight has sold him on the TNT Championship and that he would like to turn Knight's recent high into "straight-up depression." He dares Knight to put the TNT Championship on the line. Knight accepts the challenge, and MJF calls for a referee. This starts a championship match, but MJF then rolls out of the ring and walks off, telling Knight he will dance with the Devil next week.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona) and Chris Jericho. Ricochet says that Jericho's partners for their six-man tag team match, now that nobody wants to team up with the man who gets his ass beat by The Demand every time he shows up. Jericho reveals that he not only has patented that statement, but put it on a shirt. Ricochet says that no matter who Jericho teams up with, he will be beating him with the "Rico-Sault." Jericho says he does not have to look far for partners, as he knows a few people who do not like Ricochet.

Brody King beats Lio Rush. After the match, Brody King says that he will be keeping a close eye on tonight's AEW World Championship. He says that if Ciampa wins it, he will have earned it, and while he is proud of Darby Allin, he is not proud enough to bring the violence.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Tommaso Ciampa, who says that he has been told that he is not main event material throughout his career. He says that tonight is not about heroes and villains, but proving glass ceilings are imaginary. He says that tonight is about the greatest prize in professional wrestling, and that no one has ever seen a man more ready for this moment than he is tonight, and that Darby Allin does not need it more than he does.

Backstage, we hear from Adam Copeland. Adam Copeland states that he and Christian Cage deserve another tag team title shot and that he has come up with a plan that not even FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) can refuse. He challenges FTR to a tag team title match in a New York Street Fight at Double or Nothing, and if FTR beats them, he and Christian will retire as a tag team. He knows what FTR's answer should be if they are the best, unless they know deep down that he and Christian are better. Copeland says he knows what he would do, then says the ball is in FTR's court.

Darby takes the microphone and says that it took everything to become AEW World Champion, and mentions how he had his first match in Portland, Oregon. He says this could all end in a matter of moments and calls the title "a fifteen-minute ride." He says that he has seen what the AEW World Championship has done to men and their egos, then dedicates the reign to his family, his fans and those who helped him along the way, then MJF angrily shows up. MJF says that Darby is undeserving of the AEW World Championship, and Darby refuses to not only give MJF the title back, but he refuses to give him a rematch until MJF puts something of his own on the line. Darby says that he will put his body on the line every night for the AEW World Championship, starting with Tommaso Ciampa, then tells MJF to get out of his ring. Tommaso Ciampa makes his way to the ring, and MJF says something to him before Ciampa kisses MJF on the cheek and gets in the ring.

Darby Allin retains the AEW World Championship against Tommaso Ciampa by submission with the Scorpion Deathlock. As Ciampa leaves the ring after congratulating Darby, Brody King show up and helps Darby up, then says he was serious when he was proud of him after the countless moment they spent talking about moments like this. He asks Darby for a match for the AEW World Championship with Tony Khan's permission, and Darby accepts.

Tony Schiavone is in the ring to introduce MJF to start tonight's show. MJF brags about wearing beautiful watches, custom shoes, diamond rings, Burberry shoes and scarves, arriving in private jets and limousine as well as having the best girlfriend and says that the AEW World Championship is proof of having all that. He also brags that the "Triple B" is worth more than all the money the fans have, then tells the fans to change the channel if anyone brags that they are better than MJF, because what is coming out of their mouth is also coming out of their asses. MJF states that "Hangman" Adam Page and Bandido are just the first of his victims and that 2026 is "the year of the Devil" and that nobody is on his level, then Brody King arrives. Schiavone hands the microphone to MJF, wishes him luck and leaves the ring before Brody King says that the only thing he can think of is all the way that he wants to hurt MJF and putting his fist through his chest and ripping out his spine since MJF attacked Bandido. He then says he will not do that because MJF is "just a bitch," which the fans soon chant, and states that if he puts his hands on him, he will not get a match MJF so he can choke the life out of him, beat him and take his title tonight. MJF backs up to the corner and says no, then says it is not because he is afraid of Brody, saying Brody is all bark and no bite, but because he has beaten nobody of worth to challenge him, and says this match will not happen until Brody beats elite-level talent. He also warns Brody that if he interrupts him again, they will have a problem. He pokes Brody in the chest once before realizing this is a mistake, and Brody barks at MJF as MJF leaves the ring in a hurry.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for May 7, 2025

"Hangman" Adam Page heads to the ring. Hangman says that it makes a big of a difference whether or not the cans cheer for him as he never thought the fans would cheer for him. He says that the last two years were a special hell and that after everything that happened to him and his family, he wanted revenge and found it. Hangman says he took nearly everything from a man and nearly killed him, and after their cage match, he thought he would feel some kind of joy and some sort of closure, but instead, he felt nothing. He says that he thought he could get that closure by getting in the ring one more time, but he could not do it.He says that he thought he could get that closure by getting in the ring one more time, but he could not do it. Hangman says he did not know why, and since then, he took his anger out on anyone who got in his way, and that pushed everyone around him away. Hangman says he will never forget what Swerve Strickland did to him and he will never forgive him for it, but he will have to put it all behind him. He then addresses entering the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament and making his way into the finals. When Hangman mentions Will Ospreay, Ospreay shows up and apologizes, then mentions that this is the first time they have ever spoken to each other despite the locker rooms that they have shared. Ospreay says he and the fans have seen Hangman's journey with their own eyes and how much the finals of the tournament means to him, and mentions how everything changed when Hangman lost everything. Ospreay then mentions that after Hangman beat Kyle Fletcher in the tournament, Hangman smiled again for the first time in a long time, and as much as Hangman must win, he cannot lose, as he has been proving himself as of late. He says that Hangman cannot take his spot back from him and that it is far too little, too late concerning his redemption and that the tournament is now about his ascension. As Ospreay and Hangman argue, The Don Callis Family shows up, and Don Callis says that every day he shows him how stupid he is, he proves that the day he left his family was the stupidest day of his life. He then tells Ospreay that Hangman is a violent psychopath who put his mentor into the hospital. As Ospreay dares Callis to bring two of his men into the ring for a match, Hangman stops him.

Cash Wheeler then says that Daniel Garcia gave them no choice but to strike when he turned his back on them, and that what they are about to do is going to hurt them more than it will hurt Garcia.

He says that Cru are afraid to step up, then says Top Flight have been hurt before and they get hurt every single time.

He then says that when he got here, the fans turned their backs on him, especially after he beat Will Ospreay, and was greeted with toilet paper. He says he saw the fans when he saw Swerve Strickland, who called himself a man of the people, and stabbed him in the forehead with the golden scissors, and says it was for everyone who thought it was okay to mock and embarrass him. Swerve shows up and says he could end Ricochet and his entire life right now, but he would upsetting a whole lot of people in Atlanta. Renee leaves as Swerve gets in Ricochet's face and says they probably never will see eye-to-eye, and that he will never forget the day that Ricochet announced he was a free agent, because he did not want Ricochet here. He says AEW has a way of exposing people and what they are about, and that Ricochet put himself out there as a superhero and the fans rejected it. Swerve says he knows he is the villain and that he gets all the respect for it, then tells Ricochet that he will show him that there are levels to this and give him a fight, warning Ricochet that he cannot win in a fight against the most dangerous man in AEW.

She calls Mariah May a "bullshit-faced fraud" and a "shambolic bitch" before telling her that she will doom her womb, for it does not get more real than her and Mariah's time is over.

Darius says he now has to clean the mess that Lio started up, and challenges Lio to a one-on-one match.

Tony Schiavone moderates a face-to-face meeting between "The Glamour" Mariah May and Toni Storm. Mariah shows up first, followed by Toni. Toni offers to shake Mariah's hand, but Mariah flatly refuses. Mariah says that when she looks at Toni, she sees nothing, and when she thinks of her, she feels nothing, and in the hearts of the fans, Toni is nothing. Mariah calls Toni a joke and a meme that the fans laugh at before forgetting about her, just like she knew they would, and admits she does not and has never cared about Toni, who she calls "the easiest, dumbest pawn" that she used to dominate the game, and if she has to remind her again at Grand Slam Australia, so be it, because as good as she feels right now, she will get off humiliating her in her hometown. Toni says that she is Mariah's biggest fan and that she has seen everything Mariah has done, and calls her "amazing" and "an inspiration," and says that one day, she wants to be just like her. Toni then hugs Mariah, who then slaps her. Mariah tells Schiavone to get out of the ring before hitting Toni with the Women's World Championship while two referees and two security guards tell her to stop.

"The Redwood" Big Bill is in the ring. He says that if Powerhouse Hobbs wants to assault him in the parking lot, then tonight, he will make sure Hobbs gets locked up for what he did.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for July 10, 2024

Will Ospreay heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Ospreay says he was appalled but not surprised by MJF and his actions after last week, as he has heard rumors that MJF is one of the most insecure men in wrestling and showed that he was when Daniel Garcia crept up on his popularity. He says that Daniel Garcia still has no feeling in his armor as he recovers at home and has no idea when he will get back to wrestling, yet MJF wants to blame the people despite opening up to people, saying he has ADHD and that it does not give him an excuse to be a prick. He says that "the bidding war of 2024" did not go well for MJF because Tony Khan would rather spend money on people who would elevate AEW rather than bury it. He also says that MJF views him as "a talentless hack" even though he has more talent in his left nut than MJF has in his entire body. Ospreay says that he represents the identity and foundation of AEW while MJF only represents himself and only cares about himself. He then says he has always been cleaning up somebody else's mess and he realizes it it is MJF's. He says that he gets MJF's scumbag gimmick as it is the best version of him, which he welcomes, but it has been going for five years now and "the level of The Devil" is ground floor while he is at the top. Ospreay then says he is here for a fight, then calls out MJF. MJF's entrance theme hits, but MJF fails to show. We then see MJF on the video screen. MJF sits in a chair drinking wine, saying the fans tonight do not deserve to be close to his greatness and that all of the fans' top guys fell beneath his feet and that Ospreay is no different and "a joke." MJF says Ospreay wrestles for the fans and will do so until they realize they have seen his routine and throw him out like they did. He then says that he is irreplacable, unlike Ospreay, and if Ospreay gets in the ring with him, he will be exposed. MJF then tells Ospreay that he does not wrestle for fun of the fans' amusement, but for the betterment of AEW, and proposes that next week, they face off for the International Championship so that he will punch Ospreay in the face until he sees stars. Ospreay tells MJF he will see him next week.

After the match, Danielson is personally awarded the Owen Cup and the commemorative championship belt by Dr. Martha Hart. Afterwards, Prince Nana and Swerve Strickland head to the ring. Swerve Strickland says that whoever holds the AEW World Championship is the best in the world, and that he had to beat Ospreay to silence any doubt who is the best. He congratulates Danielson for winning the men's Owen Cup and says it will be an honor to face him for the World Championship at All In, but he still remembers the pinfall victory Danielson has over him and he still holds a grudge. Swerve says that Danielson is on a career downturn while he is the most dangerous man in AEW, then addresses The Young Bucks (Nicholas and Matthew Jackson) trying to bribe him, saying he will be joining the Blood & Guts Match on the side of Team AEW. He says that one does not make a Team AEW without the AEW World Championship, then says he will defeat Will Ospreay and lead Team AEW in victory against The Elite (Nicholas Jackson, Matthew Jackson, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada, "Scapegoat" Jack Perry) this year, two things that Danielson has failed to do. Swerve then challenges Okada to a match and tells him that he will teach how to really make it rain, then tells Danielson that he will see him at All In and that it will truly be his final countdown.

Mark Briscoe is in the ring. He talks about how he came close to becoming TNT Champion only to come up short, then says he is more focused on this week, which is Shark Week, which makes him think of Blood & Guts. He then declares himself a member of Team AEW. As Mark continues to speak, he is smacked from behind with the TNT Championship by "Scapegoat" Jack Perry.

Tony Schiavone interviews Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. in the ring. Britt says everyone has a past, a present and a future, which the past a lesson, the present a gift and the future a motivation. She says that for the last ten months, everyone has wondered where she has been. Britt says that she has been injured in that time, but it takes more than injury to keep her away from AEW. She then mentions that one day, she started feeling very sick and the room was spinning, her vision was blurring and her right arm was tingling and numb, and she could not even open a water bottle. Soon, her full right side stopped working. Britt reveals she was diagnosed with a transient ischemic attack, or TIA, and that she basically had a mini-stroke, and that she had to take time off. Britt says she is now cleared and healthy, but she admits that she was more nervous and unsure of herself than she was on Sunday because she did not know if anyone would cheer for her when she came out of the tunnel. She thanks everyone for welcoming her back with open arms and says that she will always be in the fans' corner, for at the end of the day, she is one of them. Britt tells the fans to go through a hard time if they happen to be in one and come out of the other side, as we all possess the insult to become elite. She also admits that there is a new female face of AEW after shedding blood, sweat and tears in the ring and building the company from the ground up, and sarcastically states that she worked for a decade to become a CEO. She then says that the only three letters that matter in this company are D.M.D. All of a sudden, Mercedes Moné shows up at the arena, where she is congratulated by The Young Bucks (Nicholas and Matthew Jackson). Matthew then demands that Mercedes' championship celebration start while Britt is still in the ring, and balloons are placed in the corners of the ring and the center of the mat as Mercedes makes her way there. The crowd starts chanting "D.M.D.," much to the slight shock of Mercedes, and Britt takes this as Mercedes outshining her moment. Mercedes takes this as Britt trying to steal her spotlight, and tells her to look at what a real champion looks like.
