Rebel Heart - Dynamite recap for September 9, 2026

In Memoriam: "The Butcher" Andy Williams, 1977 - 2026.

It's time for The Waiting Room. Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. tells Rebel (while still calling her "Reba") that her strength has inspired everyone, then brings out Persephone. Persephone thanks Britt, then says that Thunder Rosa is holding a CMLL title hostage and that she will drag her, Hyan and Maya World to the underworld before Britt introduces Hikaru Shida. Hikaru Shida says that she used to hate Britt and Rebel, but now she hates Thunder Rosa even more, and that it is time that they brought their dungeon back. Britt Baker says that Thunder Rosa will be overshadowed and embarrassed all over again. As Britt, Shida and Persephone leave, Rebel notes that Britt forgot her glove.



Swerve Strickland and The New Level (Kofi and "Awesome" Austin Creed) retain the AEW World Tag Team Championships against The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong). After the match, The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona) and The Lethal Twist (Jay Lethal, "Vanilla Baby" Blake Christian, "Big Shotty" Lee Johnson) show up, with Ricochet disappointed that they had trouble with a trio they already beat and that they could easily beat them for the AEW World Trios Championships. He also notes that Bishop Kaun's shoulders were not all the way down when they lost the title and that The New Level are only champions because they are friends with Swerve before deciding that The Demand and The Swirl will get rid of them themselves. All of a sudden, "Hangman" Adam Page and Brodido (Brody King and Bandido) show up and even the numbers game, and The Demand and The Swirl back off. Hangman and Brodido personally hand the Trios titles back to Swerve and The New Level.



We hear from Steven Borden and Darby Allin. Steven Borden says "Why now?" before saying it is because of fear, as he has been in his father's shadow his whole life. He says that night ignited something out of him that he had run from his entire life, and that he called Darby Allin after realizing he could either keep running away or face it head-on. Darby says people think Borden is not ready, but he knows what Borden is capable of, saying that he is "the first Steven Borden" and not the next Sting.

AEW acknowledges the passing of Andy Williams aka The Butcher.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews The Don Callis Family (Don Callis, "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander, Mark Davis, "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher, "The Jet" Kevin Knight). Josh Alexander says Steven Borden has something to prove, but so does he, as he has been on the shelf for over five months, and Mark Davis says that he and Alexander will decimate Darby Allin and Borden. Don Callis says there is nothing like a well-oiled tag team working like a family, and Fletcher says that he and Knight worked well together. Knight says The Young Bucks may be the best of all time, but they have never faced them. Kazuchika Okada shows up and says he is glad that Fletcher finally sees the value in family as Fletcher and Knight leave.

Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D., Hikaru Shida and Persephone beat Hyan, Maya World and Thunder Rosa in a trios match. During the match, Rebel shows up and brings the glove to Britt, who then makes Hyan to the Lockjaw. After the match, Britt rides off with Rebel in Rebel's wheelchair.



We see a video package for AEW Together regarding the fight against ALS.



Andrade el Idolo retains the AEW National Championship against The Beast Mortos. After the match, Andrade says he will continue to defend the AEW National Championship every week, and that while The Beast Mortos is a good wrestler, he is not good enough to beat him. Andrade is then suddenly attacked by The Dogs (Gabe Kidd, Clark Connors, David Finlay), and Gabe Kidd says that The Dogs are always one step ahead of Andrade. Kidd clocks Andrade just before Will Ospreay shows up and fights The Dogs single-handedly, clearing the ring. Jon Moxley and "The Problem" Marina Shafir show up just before The Dogs can get back in the ring, and Moxley guests on commentary for the next match as Gabe Kidd leaves and Andrade el Idolo forces Clark Connors to the back.



Will Ospreay beats David Finlay in an AEW World Championship Eliminator Match.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "Hangman" Adam Page and Brodido (Brody King and Bandido). Brody King wants to know if Hangman is still in the hunt for the World Trios Championships, and Hangman says that while he did not anticipate it at first, he needed it, and he still does. He says that the three of them are still a trio. Brodido agrees, saying the titles belong to them, then the three of them leave for some drinks.

Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

Darby Allin and Steven Borden beat The Don Callis Family ("The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander and Mark Davis).



"The Toxic Spider" Thekla shows up on the stage. Thekla says she does not need a championship for a celebration and that the party follows her wherever she goes, and says that unlike Mercedes Moné, she did not grow up as a fangirl and was playing in a band in Vienna, Austria until she saw a man being beaten with a raw chicken carcass and thought she could do that, so she did it and did it better than everyone else. As Thekla hopes that the AEW Women's World Championship still tastes like sex, drugs and rock 'n roll, Mercedes shows up in the crowd and says that Thekla can be as toxic as she wants, she cannot do it like her. Mercedes says that Thekla does not scare her, then tells Thekla to call her "Big D. Moné" and to ask Willow Nightingale how it tastes. Thekla calls Willow "the biggest dumb bitch and the worst Women's World Champion in AEW history" and says that Willow got lucky when she won her title only to fumble it at Wembley Stadium. She says that she would piss on Willow's clouds and rainbows if Willow were here, then Willow suddenly shows up and gets in the ring only for Thekla to leave it.



We hear from The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Daniel Garcia, PAC, "The Problem" Marina Shafir) and Gabe Kidd. PAC tells Moxley he always told he could not trust Will Ospreay, and Gabe Kidd is surprised that Moxley is showing Ospreay respect. Ospreay shows up, and Marina Shafir has to hold Gabe Kidd back before Moxley stands up and Ospreay tells him that he asked for their match because Moxley is the only person to pin him this year. He then warns Moxley that he is coming at him with a gameplan and that he knows what it takes to stop a Death Rider. Moxley says Ospreay has it all figured out, and Ospreay tells Moxley he will see him in Chicago, Illinois.

Actor, screenwriter and director Arian Moayed is seen in the front row before the next match.

The Don Callis Family ("The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher and "The Jet" Kevin Knight) beat The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) in a tag team tables match after FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Big Stoke stop Nick Jackson before he can put Kyle Fletcher through a table with a top rope splash, allowing Fletcher to put Nick through the table with an avalanche brainbuster for the win. After the match, FTR and Knight attack Nick Jackson. Matt Jackson jumps in, but he falls victim to the Shatter Machine. Darby Allin and Steven Borden run to the ring before FTR can put Matt Jackson through a table. The show ends with The Young Bucks shaking hands with Darby Allin and Steven Borden.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for September 2, 2026

Will Ospreay heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Ospreay apologizes for his rough appearance following a post-championship win bender before thanking the fans from those who have been there since the beginning from the ones who followed him since his AEW debut. He then addresses Kenny Omega, saying that they both took each other to the limit and that he had to keep fighting because he wanted the AEW World Championship. He says that Omega has been the best in the world for the last ten years and still is. Ospreay says that 364 days out of the year, Omega is a better wrestler than him, but it took one day for him to become champion. He then mentions that he and Omega have two wins apiece. Ospreay says he wanted Omega to recognize him as an equal, and he is fine with that tie, but if Omega is not satisfied, then he can name the time and place and they can sort this once and for all. Ospreay thinks about past AEW World Champions and how so many of them are his heroes, then announces that he is among them and that he has worked for this, stating that his heroes are now his rivals. He admits that he has struggled to say that he is the guy, but now that he is AEW World Champion, he is the standard, "the billy goat" and the best in the world now. Ospreay says that anyone who wants to take the title from him will have to walk through the same fire he did and see him at the end of the line. Ospreay thanks his teammates in United Empire (Henare, Francesco Akira, Callum Newman), then says that while United Empire will stay in Japan, he will start creating his own opportunities in AEW and create his own United Empire in the United States. The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona) suddenly show up with Ricochet interrupting, and Ricochet says Ospreay knows just as well as he does that they have unfinished business and acknowledges that Ospreay's match at All In was magic. Ricochet says that no one knows Ospreay like he does and that Ospreay would not be in the main event of All In without him, then demands the first opportunity at the AEW World Championship. Clark Connors and Gabe Kidd suddenly show up and interrupt, with Gabe Kidd saying that Ospreay has taken his chance and that it is nothing compared to what he will take from Ospreay and his family. Ricochet says he will get the first opportunity at the title, but Gabe Kidd says he wants Ospreay's life, and that he does not mind doing it five-on-one. United Empire shows up from behind Ospreay to match the numbers. Ospreay says they can go at it right now in their street clothes, or they can have an eight-man tag match in their gear for tonight's main event.



Swerve Strickland and The New Level (Kofi and "Awesome" Austin Creed) retain the AEW World Trios Championships against The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz, Dezmond Xavier, Myron Reed). After the match, The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) show up and congratulate The New Level as both teams have a brief staredown before The Young Bucks head to the ring.



The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) are in the ring after the commercial break. Matt addresses what happened at All In and asks Adam Copeland and Christian Cage if they had to beat them the way that they did and if they are happy with themselves and satisfied with how they did it, then want Copeland and Christian to answer to their faces. Instead of Copeland and Christian, FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Stokely Hathaway show up instead, and Stokely says that he cannot believe what he is hearing and that only two people matter in this ring: FTR. Stokely says The Young Bucks blew it at Revolution, blew it at All In and now want to blow it for a third time, then Dax says that "Daddy's home" and that The Young Bucks had their chance and lost again in front of friends and family. He says that FTR have beaten both The Young Bucks and the team of Copeland and Christians, then tells them to step aside so they can become five-time tag team champions. Nick says they have beaten FTR too, but have also made them say "I quit." Christian and Copeland arrive on the stage, and Christian says "They don't ask how you won; they ask who won." He reveals that his wrist and forearm were never hurt, and that they have both beaten FTR and The Young Bucks and stayed tag team champions. He is amazed that they are not so embarrassed that they would take a 50% pay cut and go somewhere else than be embarrassed by them again, then Copeland says that he is not pleased with how they won and says they are better than that. Christian says there is a way to make it right and entitles The Young Bucks as well as FTR to a tag team title rematch at All Out in a three-way Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match.



Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Will Ospreay and United Empire (Henare, Francesco Akira, Callum Newman). Ospreay says there is no heat and that is time to move on, yet he has not found a fifth man. Callum Empire says he knows a guy who has been in the Empire for some time now: Andrade el Idolo. Andrade el Idolo comes out from behind a nearby door and congratulates Ospreay after saying "How you know?" and shaking hands with everyone else.

Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

Darby Allin retains the TNT Championship against Mark Davis. After the match, Trent Beretta and Rocky "Azucar" Romero attack Darby. Steven Borden gets in the ring and makes quick work of both men, then stares down Mark Davis. Davis teases getting in the ring, then Borden is attacked from behind by a returning Josh Alexander. "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander puts Darby in an ankle lock, and Mark Davis hits Borden with a piledriver.



In backstage footage from All In, MJF says he had to win the Men's Casino Gauntlet Match to prove that he is the undisputed "One True Champion" and that he is in this position because of Will Ospreay. He says that Ospreay is what is wrong with his life, and if anybody else in AEW got screwed the way that he did, the match would have been tossed out. MJF says nobody likes him because he is a cold dose of reality nobody wants to deal with. He says that thinking of him is thinking of the other wrestlers that are on his level and that it makes people mad that he is the biggest needle mover in AEW and that there is nobody more important in AEW than him. MJF says payback is coming and that payback is a bitch, and that nobody will see it coming, and that by the time he finally does hand off some payback, everyone will be begging for it.



Megan Bayne beats Alex Windsor. During the match, Jamie Hayter stops Lena Kross from using one of the AEW Women's World Tag Team Championship, and the referee fails to see Megan Bayne do the same and hit Alex Windsor with one of them. This allows Bayne to hit Windsor with the Megabomb for the win. After the match, The Divine Dominion (Bayne and Kross) briefly attack Windsor before Hayter chases them out of the ring.



Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Chris Jericho, who mentions "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne getting pinned before Nick Wayne shows up, confronts Jericho and says he not only owning the ring, but taking Jericho out of the Men's Casino Gauntlet. Jericho is impressed with Nick Wayne's talent for his age, but says he is still only 21 years old. Jericho insults Nick Wayne's necklace, and this starts a brawl that ends with Nick Wayne kicking Jericho in the groin.

Mercedes Moné heads to the ring for her AEW Women's World Championship champion's celebration. Mercedes thanks the fans and says she has not stopped smiling since All In, and says that she wanted and needed to be in AEW because it was the only place where the women's revolution could be globalized, and now, she is AEW Women's World Champion. She says that she took a bet on herself and says that this is what happens when you stop asking permission to be great. Mercedes says she has travelled the world and won championship after championship to become great on her own terms. Mercedes announces that she is the first woman to win world championship in four major companies, and says that to get here, she needed to leave one thing behind: Willow Nightingale. She says she showed everyone who Willow Nightingale truly is at All In, and mentions that Willow Nightingale ruined her face. She thought that Willow was trying to stop her from her destiny, but she really pushed her towards it. Mercedes then mockingly thanks Willow, saying that she is the one smiling now after having taken Willow's smile and Willow's title and that the women's division is now standing in her kingdom. She says that this is her moment, then says that what she wants for the AEW Women's World Championship does not exist yet before stating that it soon will now that she is champion. Mercedes is suddenly interrupted by "The Toxic Spider" Thekla, who shows up in the crowd with her own tequila while impressed with Mercedes' promo. She congratulates Mercedes, then says that for all Mercedes has done, she has never been "toxic." She thanks Mercedes for what she did to Willow Nightingale, saying that Willow deserved to be humiliated, then notes that Mercedes like to swing the Women's World Championship between her legs and that "nobody swings it bigger than Thekla." Thekla also states that since she has been gone, Mercedes has been calling people "dumb bitches," and says that the only thing she hates more than dumb bitches is dumb bitches calling other people dumb bitches. She also says that even though Mercedes is CEO, she does not work for her. Thekla then raises a tequila toast to Mercedes, then tells Mercedes to let her know when she is ready to give her the Women's World Championship back.



We hear from Persephone and Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. Britt Baker says she is here for a guarantee and that Persephone has a killer instinct to do whatever it takes to take what is hers. Britt says she has gone where no other champion has been before and that Persephone will take the TBS Championship where it has never been before. Persephone says that they did not need each other, but together, they are eternal and have no Achilles' heel. She says that she did everyone a favor and stole the gold Sunday night, and that on Saturday, she will defend the TBS Championship on Collision.

Jon Moxley beats AR Foxx in an AEW Continental Championship Eliminator Match.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Don Callis, "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher and "The Jet" Kevin Knight. Knight says he will not be demeaned on national television, then brings up how Fletcher lost his match. Callis has to get both men to stop arguing, saying that will they have individual setbacks, he has a new plan to create some cohesion: putting Fletcher and Knight in a tag team match against The Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson and Ace Austin) on Collision, much to the chagrin of both Fletcher and Knight. A grinning "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada shows up, saying "Family, Kyle...family," then walks off as Fletcher gets angry with him.

Will Ospreay, Andrade el Idolo and United Empire (Callum Newman, Henare, Francesco Akira) beat The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona) and The Dogs (Gabe Kidd and Clark Connors) in a ten-man tag match. After the match, Andrade and Ospreay shake hands, then Gabe Kidd pulls Andrade out of the ring, starting a post-match brawl between the two teams that security cannot stop. Gabe Kidd hits Will Ospreay with a low blow, then The Death Riders show up. Moxley stops Kidd from using the chair not once, but twice, and Andrade takes out Gabe Kidd and chases him through the crowd. Moxley then stares Ospreay down before handing him the AEW World Championship before placing his hand on Ospreay's neck. It is then revealed that Ospreay will defend the AEW World Championship against Moxley at All Out. Both Moxley and Ospreay are shocked at this turn of events as the show ends.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for August 26, 2026

Will Ospreay heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Ospreay says that a year has gone by since he got surgery and doubt set in on whether or not he could get back and win the big one, as well as his start in the United Kingdom and Scotland where he wrestled weekends and went to work the rest of the week just to get to this point. He says that he loved being in the foxhole with the same people who followed the same dream and learning from the legend of British legends, as well as paying tributes to the ones who are not here anymore. Ospreay says that he did it all to see if he really is the best, and when one talks about the best, it is hard to see past Kenny Omega, and while he knows Omega is not here tonight, nobody respects Omega more than he does. Ospreay says that while there is no better wrestler this decade than Kenny Omega, respect went out the window the moment Omega mentioned his son needing a new hero after he loses to him, as he has some promises to keep for family and friends. He says that Omega will "get the billy goat for sure" as well as the fight of his life, and warns him not to "fuck with a man looking after a boy." Ospreay says there is a debt that needs to be paid, and that "it is time to bring it home." He says Omega will show his boy that heroes are just ordinary people who can do extraordinary things, and that this Sunday, he will take it all.



Jon Moxley beats Claudio Castagnoli to advance to the finals of the AEW Continental Challenge Cup.



Adam Copeland and The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) beat The Don Callis Family (Rocky "Azucar" Romero, "The Machine" Brian Cage, Jake Doyle) in a trios match despite Copeland nearly getting inadvertently Superkicked by The Young Bucks during the match. After the match, Christian Cage shows up and says he does not associate with people who are beneath him, and that as far as tag teams go, The Young Bucks are beneath him despite how influential they have become. Christian says that he and Copeland are the kind of legends that matches and pay-per-views are named after, and that The Young Bucks will learn the difference between "influence" and "legendary." Nick Jackson asks Christian if anyone has ever named a wrestling company after him, then addresses accidentally Superkicking Christian in the face and how it will stop being an accident if Christian keeps up. This leads to a confrontation in which Nick gets kicked in the groin by Christian and Matt Jackson gets Speared by Copeland.



Willow Nightingale's entrance theme hits, then it is revealed that Willow has been attacked backstage by Mercedes Moné, who says that tonight is Willow's last Dynamite as Women's World Champion.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Don Callis and Mark Davis. Callis says he is back from Croatia and feeling refreshed, and that whoever wins between Will Ospreay and Kenny Omega for the AEW World Championship will have a surprise. He says that Mark Davis has drawn a number, and if Davis' number is called, he will settle the score with Andrade el Idolo and get closer to the AEW World Championship "with a little London luck."

Andrade El Idolo's music hits at first, then stops. MJF's entrance theme then plays, and MJF makes his way to the ramp. MJF says it great to be here in "beautiful sunny Ireland," then realized he is in Scotland before calling everybody alcoholics, which actually gets cheered. MJF then says he has paid some people off to "warm Andrade el Idolo up" and that while Andrade is not here, he is. He says that what Andrade does is not special and that he can do the same thing, even though finding a hot chick in Scotland is impossible. He finds a hot chick in the crowd, then Andrade appears MJF and says "How you know?" Andrade then clobbers MJF with the microphone when MJF turns around, and that leads to a brief brawl in the ring that MJF barely escapes from.



Backstage, we hear from Chris Jericho, who says that this is the biggest weekend in AEW with the highest of stakes, and while he knows how important his biggest matches have been, he knows how important All In is, and that he is entering the Men's Casino Gauntlet. Jericho then says that he will be part of a six-man tag match later tonight.

Nigel McGuinness beats Kyle O'Reilly by submission with London Dungeon to advance to the finals of the AEW Continental Challenge Cup.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Don Callis and "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher. Callis says there is always competition among alpha athletes, but at the end of the day, he expects the family to run the play. Fletcher says that he trusts Don Callis with all of his heart and that he is willing to run the play at All In, but wants to know if "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada will do the same. Okada shows up and says family is the most important thing and that Fletcher can trust him, but Fletcher asks what he should trust Okada to do when Okada was nowhere to be seen when he was attacked last week. Okada says Fletcher thinks only of himself, and reiterates the importance of family.

Persephone and The Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross) beat Maya World and The Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor) in a trios match after Persephone hits Maya World with a top rope splash while The Divine Dominion and The Brawling Birds brawl their way to the back.

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

Summer Blockbuster - Dynamite recap for June 10, 2026

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



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

Trish Adora stops Marina Shafir with a shinai as "Taiga Style" Lee Moriarty also takes part in the attack outside outside of the ring.



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

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



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

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





Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

Andrade el Idolo beats Orange Cassidy. After the match, Andrade asks the fans "How you know?"



In backstage footage from last week, Will Ospreay says that Mark Davis has gotten stronger since their last match, yet nothing is stopping him from winning the Men's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament. As he says that he owes this to The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir), Alex Windsor rushes up to Ospreay and hugs him.

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

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

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

We see a video package of Darby Allin before his no count-outs match with Rush later tonight.



Backstage, we hear from Will Ospreay, who says that he has an issue with anyone who hangs around Jon Moxley. He says that he and PAC have never shaken hands, and if he wants to stay loyal to Moxley, he can take this personally. He tells PAC that he will see him in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada then tells Moxley that he may have had his reasons to snap his neck in his home country, and for that alone, he will alter Moxley's life like he did his, and he wants him at Dynasty.

The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir) beat Skyflight (Darius Martin, Dante Martin, "The Real Deal" Zayda Steel) in a trios match. After the match, Moxley addresses Will Ospreay, saying it is not nice to say mean things about people on television and that he is upset right now, and that whatever issue Ospreay has with him is not personal. He then says that if Ospreay wants a grudge match at Dynasty, he has it, and until then, he tells Ospreay not to let his mouth get him in trouble.



We hear from The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson), who state that they went back home and came back stronger last week with "Jungle" Jack Perry and that they will take the AEW World Tag Team Championships for a record fourth time regardless of who stands in their way.

"Speedball" Mike Bailey beats Rocky "Azucar" Romero.

MJF heads to the ring. MJF brags about being "the man who hanged the Hangman," and says that Hangman will never be AEW World Champion again. He also claims that Hangman never put up much of a fight and says his match with Hangman was the easiest he ever had. He then makes it clear that he is still AEW World Champion, of which there is no higher honor and something only he his deserving of, and that there is nobody in AEW better than him. Suddenly, Kenny Omega shows up and heads to the ring, says that he has more nicknames than MJF and states that even at his zenith as a heel, he never considered himself a god, and if MJF wants to call himself "the Devil," then maybe he should call himself a god. He states that when he took his body to the limit, he did not listen to his body because of his respect and responsibility for the fans, and compared to who he once was, he will not fall for MJF's antics and that he is close to 100%. Omega says that this version is better than MJF and that MJF knows it, which he says scares MJF. He then offers to shake hands with MJF and make this official for Dynasty. MJF accepts the challenge, but rejects the handshake. MJF leaves the ring and heads to the back, then Omega bids adieu to the fans.



In backstage footage from earlier today, Renee Paquette interviews Adam Copeland and Christian Cage. Christian says life is about making choices, and FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) chose to turn their back on Copeland, jump them and leave them laying after their match at All Out, and to piledrive Beth Copeland and spike piledrived him. Christian leaves, then Copeland says that Christian is an asshole and that he knows of two bigger assholes in FTR. Copeland says FTR threw away their friendship and are about to throw away their history, and while he gets where they are come from, he is going to find them and ends their careers while taking the World Tag Team titles from them.



FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Stokely Hathaway show up on the stage. Stokely introduces FTR, then Wheeler says they made a choice to dump the dead weight and refuse to carry Copeland over the finish line of his career. He says that they are now AEW World Tag Team Championships for refusing to take a back seat to Copeland's shadow, and that they take a back seat to no one. Wheeler addresses FTR's history with Copeland and Copeland's mentorship, then says that Dax and Stokely are his family now and that he does not need Copeland or his wife, stating that Copeland's time has passed. After Wheeler proclaims that FTR are living legends now, Harwood says that Copeland is now "a nostalgia act" and that everybody including Copeland knows it. He says that what happened to Beth Copeland made Adam Copeland look deep inside herself, and implies that what happened to Beth is nothing compared to what will happened to Adam Copeland. Orange Cassidy and Roderick Strong then show up for the next match as FTR hounds the front row fans. Stokely bumps into Orange Cassidy, and Orange Cassidy gets shoved back by Dax Harwood. Roderick Strong rushes to the ring before referee Bryce Remsburg breaks things up.

Backstage, we hear from "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher, who mentions his recent successful TNT title defense against Robbie Eagles and proclaims that he is on track towards being the greatest TNT Champion of all time. He also mentions that he is undefeated so far this year, which MJF and Kenny Omega cannot say, and states that The Don Callis Family should be fighting for the AEW World Championship instead of making deals with MJF, and that he should be the man to fight for it. He then addresses "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita, who shows up, and says that he does not want anything to come between what they have, as he knows that Takeshita does not like Okada. He then reaffirms his commitment to "Protoshita."

"The Toxic Spider" Thekla retains the AEW Women's World Championship against Mina Shirakawa. During the match, Thekla pulls out a belt, but referee Mike Posey takes it away from her, allowing Thekla to pull out metal knuckles and knock Mina out mid-slam before hiding the evidence to pin, win and retain.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Kenny Omega. Omega says that despite a no physicality clause for next week's contract signing, everyone is used to how MJF operates, then says that now is the time and that if a god needs to take the World title off a devil, he is the man to do it. "Speedball" Mike Bailey shows up and says that he admires Omega, and hopes Omega beats MJF for the World Championship so that he can face him for the title. Both men then shake hands.

Backstage, we hear from The Demand. Ricochet apologizes to the fans for losing his cool and shoving Toa Liona off after being screwed out of the National Championship by AEW at Revolution, and says that it should be him facing MJF for the World Championship. He says that Kenny Omega earned a World title shot by doing the bare minimum, especially when he beat him in their only match, and that he is tired of it.

She says she and Thekla have beaten each other once, but once is not enough, and at Revolution, they will have two out of three falls and Thekla's killing is coming twice.

We hear from "The Toxic Spider" Thekla, who asks when the challenger dictates what the match is and that she is not doing the two out of three falls match, but quickly reconsiders after asking what makes Kris Statlander think she can beat her twice, and says that Statlander wears sunglasses and all leather because she cannot look her in the eye anymore and wants to be like her. Thekla then says Thunder Rosa should have listened to her, and now she has sent her back to Tijuna, then tells Statlander to take her own advice and quit while she is alive, for everything Statlander is afraid of is everything she is.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews JetSpeed ("Speedball" Mike Bailey and "The Jet" Kevin Knight). Knight calls Wednesday one of the hardest nights of his career because he came close to becoming AEW World Champion. He knows that more opportunities will come to him, but he also feels like he let Jet Set Rodeo (Speedball, Knight, "Hangman" Adam Page) down when he cost them the World Trios Championships. Speedball says they all lost, and while Hangman's situation with MJF made things more difficult, everything is good now, for at Revolution, they will team with Mistico and take back the World Trios Championships from The Don Callis Family ("The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada, Mark Davis). Speedball says that he has what it takes to hold two championships and beat Kyle Fletcher for the TNT Championship.

He says that this was the Ciampa that he remembered and expected.

He hopes MJF is watching, because he will ruin any idea has has of a happy future, and tells MJF to pray that he does not win, for he will come after him and take his title.

FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Stokely Hathaway head to the ring. Dax says he has been wracking his brain trying to understand why The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) attacked them from behind only to realize that in 2016, they were the best tag team in the world and even coined the FTR name. He then says that The Young Bucks are now in second place behind them. Stokely says the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, which is where they are with The Young Bucks. He says that this pisses him off and that it all pisses him off that The Young Bucks shook hands with The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz and Myron Reed) and Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy) even though they forced Private Party out of the company. Stokely says there is hypocrisy in the situation and states that they hate their coworkers so much it is overwhelming. As Stokely mentions how much he hates The Young Bucks' family, The Young Bucks superkick FTR before confronting Stokely. The Young Bucks superkick Stokely before mentioning that they are #1 contenders for the AEW World Tag Team Championships, and throw down the challenge for the titles at Revolution.

MJF also hates the "Cowboy Shit" chant and the fact that Hangman holds two wins over him, and says that Hangman is "a lucky shot" who is nowhere near better than him. He then says that something is off about Hangman and that he can smell it, and says that Hangman is in his own head after being at the top of the mountain twice only to crumble under pressure. MJF then proposes that if Hangman were to become world champion and crumble a third time, he would be exposed as a fraud, and while he feels Hangman is a lucky shot, he is all out of bullets, and he looks forward to ending "the myth of Hangman and his cowboy shit." Hangman says that the fans carried him to the World Championship, especially as he beat the dogshit out of MJF. He says that if anyone is a lucky shot, it is the man who had a guaranteed shot and sat on it until he waited until the last second, kicked him in the balls, and collected the spoils of greater men. Hangman says that as much as MJF hates him, he hates MJF worse, not just because of his lies and deceit, but because he has never met someone more like him. He says that MJF is desperate for love and acceptance and wants to make his mark, which reminds MJF of himself. He says that he wants to end this for good at Revolution, and that MJF also feels that they cannot have a regular wrestling match. Hangman tells MJF to think of a stipulation, then lets the fans think of what the match should be. MJF says Hangman is out of his mind if he wants something other than a regular wrestling match. Hangman says he knew MJF would says that because he is scared and a coward, and agrees to give his word that if he does not win, then he will never challenge for the World Championship ever again. MJF tells Hangman that he has a deal, but as far as his stipulation goes, he thinks things through, and he needs a week to think over his stipulation, as he does not shoot first and ask questions later like Hangman. Hangman then tells MJF that he already has his answer: Texas Death.



We hear from The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garcia). PAC says that The Don Callis Family is not like them, and challenges them to a match at Collision. Daniel Garcia says that "family" is just a title for The Don Callis Family and not something that they are willing to die for. Moxley says he is not done with Konosuke Takeshita and that at Revolution, there will be no time limit and that one person will get the other for as long as it takes.

Bishop Kaun wants to know where everybody's priorities lie, and Toa Liona says that they will take the AEW World Trios Championships on Collision. They then head back to the locker room only to find a knife on their door, hinting that Jack Perry may not be done with Ricochet.

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.

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.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for January 21, 2026

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.



We see a video package of what has happened between Samoa Joe and "Hangman" Adam Page in the last week.

Backstage, MJF interviews "Hangman" Adam Page and JetSpeed ("The Jet" Kevin Knight and "Speedball" Mike Bailey).

Hangman mentions his upcoming match with Katsuyori Shibata, then Speedball says that he and Knight will focus on their matches and do well. Hangman warns Knight that while Samoa Joe is tough, he has his strengths and he will win if he can outlast him. Knight then asks Hangman about Swerve Strickland, and Hangman says "It'll be a hell of a main event."

Samoa Joe beats "Speedball" Mike Bailey. During the match, Hook and Katsuyori Shibata show up and get involved throughout the match without getting caught.

Jim Ross returns to the commentary table to start tonight's show.

In backstage footage from earlier today, Renee Paquette announces that JetSpeed ("The Jet" Kevin Knight and "Speedball" Mike Bailey) have been brutally attacked backstage and that they are not medically cleared to compete. The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona) then shows up with Don Callis, and it becomes readily apparent that a bounty between the two parties made this possible. Jake Something, fresh out of TNA and now going by the name "Jake Doyle," shows up with Mark Davis, and Don Callis says that Doyle is going to be very rich for attacking JetSpeed.



MVP guests on commentary for the next match.

FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Stokely Hathaway - the latter now in a wheelchair - show up and watch the aftermath of what has happened from the stage.





Renee Paquette introduces Willow Nightingale into the ring for a TBS Championship celebration. Willow is accompanied by Kris Statlander and Harley Cameron. The lights dim as Willow Nightingale says that she feels complete as a double champion, and a light shines on her and Renee as Willow looks forward to the next challenger as well as the things that really matter. Willow celebrates reuniting with both the TBS Championship as well as Kris Statlander, then says that she will take on both TBS and tag team challengers and even wrestle two matches in one night if she has to. Willow expects Mercedes Moné to have something to say and invites Mercedes to the party, and Mercedes shows up dressed in what looks like white funeral clothes. Willow says that there is plenty of celebrate, especially for Mercedes' incredible year in 2025, then celebrates having to dig down deep to become TBS Champion again. Mercedes takes her hat off, revealing disheveled hair and an angry mood as she topples the table and all the food on it. This gets her shoved face-first into cake again, and Willow hits Mercedes with a Doctor Bomb on the cake. The celebration ends with Renee, Statlander, Harley and Willow in a congo line.



Backstage, we hear from Mark Briscoe, who congratulates Willow Nightingale on winning the TBS Championship before stating it is time to get back to work even though he is not doing so well mentally as it has been too long since he whupped a man's ass. He mentions Hechicero being his next challenger and says that while Hechicero is a bad man who can get it done in the ring, the TNT Championship is not going anywhere. The phrase of the day is "Reign and defend."

We hear from Triangle of Madness (Julia Hart, Skye Blue, "The Toxic Spider" Thekla). Thekla says that Kris Statlander is insecure enough to reunite with Kris Statlander, and wants to know if and when she will turn on her friends as well as how long Statlander and The Babes of Wrath (Willow Nightingale and Harley Cameron) can last against them.

Bandido beats Sammy Guevara. Immediately after the match, MJF shows up along with Jon Cruz and congratulates Bandido on his win before calling himself a lucha libre legend and a bigger star in Mexico that Bandido will ever be. He still believes that Bandido has potential, and has Jon Cruz translate for him. MJF thanks Jon Cruz for being professional and coming to "a dump like Oklahoma" to do his work. MJF goes on to mention the Dynamite Diamond Rings that he has won, then says that the Dynamite Diamond Ring on Bandido's finger does not belong to him and that if Bandido hands it to him, they can forego the AEW World Championship match. Jon Cruz tries to translate, but Bandido stops him and tells MJF "I can speak English, you stupid son of a bitch!" MJF kicks Bandido in the groin, takes Bandido's ring, and tries to knock Bandido out when Jon Cruz holds Bandido up only for Bandido to duck and Jon Cruz to get struck instead. Bandido then kicks MJF in the groin, takes the ring back, and hits Jon Cruz with a 21-Plex before hitting MJF with another.

Claudio Castagnoli rises up from the front row, but Garcia and Yuta have to hold him back. Orange then helps Mina and Toni up, much to Luther's chagrin.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews PAC. PAC says that he is not here to oblige Darby Allin, as he has wrestled and beaten him twice and that he is the established winner. Darby shows up wanting the match, refusing to take no for an answer, but PAC tells him to jog on. As PAC walks away, Darby sprays him with a fire extinguisher and blinds him before hitting him with his skateboard and threatening to break his ankle with a door. PAC gives him the match as Wheeler Yuta, Claudio Castagnoli and Dangiel Garcia rush in. Darby soon retreats.
