Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for June 17, 2026

Lexy Nair interviews MJF and The Don Callis Family. MJF says that the AEW World Championship is the only world title that matters and that he is the best in the world, then mentions everyone he is teaming with - "The Jet" Kevin Knight, Andrade el Idolo, Jake Doyle, Kazuchika Okada, and "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher - and says he is better than all of them. He then says that while everyone else he has mentioned is a star, Mark Briscoe is not, and that he hates Mark because the fans only like him because his brother died and because he is delusional enough to think he can take his title. Don Callis says that his family will be bringing the power tonight, and as he lists who will be in the ring tonight, Andrade wants nothing of a partnership with MJF. Don Callis tells Andrade that he will be a great world champion, "but for now, do the match."

Kenny Omega beats Tony Nese. After the match, Kenny Omega takes the microphone, but he is interrupted by Zack Sabre Jr., Mikey Nicholls and Bad Dude Tito before he can even speak. Omega gets out of the ring and slides the microphone over to the threesome and he walks to the ramp and is soon joined by Jack Perry and The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson). Sabre then kicks the microphone back to Omega. Omega addresses Sabre, noting that he has gotten his message loud and clear and that both men have something the other want. He knows Sabre wants to beat him, but he wants to beat Sabre.

Brodido (Brody King and Bandido) beats The Death Riders (Jon Moxley and Daniel Garcia).

Backstage, we hear from "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher and "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada. Fletcher says they will be in tonight's main event and Forbidden Door's steel cage match, but they will still be bringing the International Championship back to The Don Callis Family. Okada agrees, As they wonder who will stand across the ring from them, they soon reveal who will not be: Tomohiro Ishii, who the two of them have laid out.

Backstage, we hear from Tommaso Ciampa. Ciampa says he has just one reason to hate Chris Jericho, yet he did not always hate him; he used to respect him. He admits he hates what Jericho is now, and wants this Jericho out of his world. He then says that if Jericho still has it in him and considers him worthy, then they can dance. He says the ball is in Jericho's court, and that he should not drop it.

The Dogs (Clark Connors and David Finlay) are met by Adam Copeland and Christian Cage before they can head to the ring, and this leads to a brawl between the two teams that makes its way to the ring. Finlay saves Connors before Copeland and Christian can both rush at him, then Christian says that after what happened a couple of weeks ago, most people are expecting him to say something unsavory about a family member. He then says that even he has standards, and by that, he has never come cross another tag team who are named after their mothers. He also says that if Finlay thinks he is a gift to wrestling, then his father should have let him run down the inside of his leg. Copeland says The Dogs have been on a winning streak lately and why he is jumping and mocking them in order to make a name off of their backs, then says that he and Christian are The Dogs' learning curve. Copeland lists the tag teams they learned and picked intangibles from, then says that at Forbidden Door, he and Christian will use their old man strength, knowledge and grumpiness to make sure they walk out of their house as "housebroken little pups."

Backstage, we hear from Thekla. She says that she did everything Starlight Kid did in Japan, and while Starlight Kid became a hero, she was kicked out and had to go it on her own. Thekla says she does not have to worry about being anybody's favorite wrestler like Starlight Kid does, and tells Starlight Kid to stay in Japan, because she runs AEW on the other side of the forbidden door.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Brodido (Brody King and Bandido). Bandido is excited that they have beaten The Death Riders (Jon Moxley and Daniel Garcia), and Brody King proved that they are still the best tag team in the world. Bandido then declares for the AEW Continental Championship at Forbidden Door. Garcia and Moxley show up, and Moxley tells Bandido that if he wants a shot at the Continental Championship, he will have to go it alone. Bandido says he is ready, and Moxley says "Shoot your shot, compadré."

We see a video package for Maya World vs. Athena in the Women's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament semi-finals this Saturday on Collision.

Tony Schiavone introduces Will Ospreay followed by Swerve Strickland for a face-to-face meeting. Before introducing Swerve, Schiavone mentions that Ospreay has recently tied the knot with Alex Windsor, who has agreed to postpone the honeymoon so that Ospreay can chase the AEW World Championship. Swerve then shows up with Prince Nana, who makes fun of Schiavone's suit before telling him to get out of the ring and handing the microphone to Swerve. Swerve says it has been a year and that he has been keeping an eye on him, then says Swerve has changed and that he does not like it. Ospreay asks if they have a problem, to which Swerve says yes, as he finds it weird that Ospreay is hanging around Jon Moxley. Ospreay says he has not forgiven or forgotten what Moxley did to him, and that he had to let it go. He says that he and Moxley are training partners, and his neck feel great and his ground game is better. Ospreay mentions everything that happened at All In Texas last year and how Swerve did not help out with taking the AEW World Championship off of Jon Moxley. He asks why Swerve did not help, then smacks the microphone before stating Forbidden Door is bigger than an explanation. He says that Forbidden Door is Swerve's redemption, but it is his destiny. He says that this is the semi-finals for his World Cup and he wants to kick the winning goal at Wembley Stadium, and that Swerve is standing in the way of his dream and will not hesitate to end it. Ospreay says he will end Swerve if he has to, but Swerve says "Not if I do it first." Swerve mentions Ospreay saying that last year was "Hangman" Adam Page's time and how he agreed with him and fought alongside him, then asks where Hangman is now. He says that everything they did off Ospreay's word was for nothing, and that he will not just step aside for him. Swerve says he is done stepping aside to let people take opportunities he deserve and letting veterans step on his time. Swerve says he has made a career out of throwing Molotov cocktails at the system, as has Ospreay, and that the two of them have changed the conversation on what pro wrestling before and they will do it again at Forbidden Door. Swerve then says his victory is certain, as Ospreay has not beaten him in ten years, and when he goes over him to Wembley and wins the AEW World Championship again, Ospreay can challenge him again and get beaten again. He says that Ospreay is not better than him on his worst day with a fragile neck, and Ospreay punches Swerve. Prince Nana hands Swerve a chain, and The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Daniel Garcia, PAC, "The Problem" Marina Shafir) show up. Swerve tells Ospreay that he really ahs changed before leaving with Prince Nana on the ramp.

Kyle O'Reilly mentions that if anyone gets disqualified, they are out of Forbidden Door. Briscoe says that they will have to do things by the book, then introduces someone who wants to get their hands on "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher: "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita. Takeshita says he hates both Fletcher and "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada, then Briscoe introduces someone who is not fond of MJF or Kevin Knight: Darby Allin, who says that they will win tonight before Mark Briscoe takes the AEW World Championship.

Collision Course - Collision recap for July 20, 2024

Darby Allin beats The Beast Mortos. After the match, Darby Allin says that people tell him to slow down or else he won't be able to walk when he is 30 years old, then says he is 30 years old and feels wonderful. Darby then says he never takes a day off because he used to work as a dishwasher and he would rather be kicked in the face any night of the week than go back to dishwashing. He says that it is fitting that he is in his first Blood & Guts, as he still has a scar from Sting's last match. Darby then addresses The Young Bucks (Nicholas and Matthew Jackson), saying they do not care about Collision and that AEW is his baby now and that he would not be here if it were not for them. He also says that the TNT Championship means everything to him and that he will not rest until he beats "Scapegoat" Jack Perry for the title, and tells him "If you have the balls...let's play." He then tells the fans that he will see them at Dynamite.

We hear from "The Learning Tree" Chris Jericho, who says that he and Minoru Suzuki have waited for their match for four years, and this Wednesday, it happens. He says that the match is happening for the first time ever, but it will be a nightmare for Suzuki, who will suffer night sweats and night terrors thinking about what he will do to him. He says that their match will be violent, and if anyone can match Suzuki blow-for-blow, it is him, and he cannot wait to teach him some valuable lessons, including never to mess with him.

Before the next match, Tony Nese makes fun of the fans' fitness - or lack thereof - and says they have not had real athletes to look up to, then announces that "Smart" Mark Sterling made up a contract to give a lucky individual an opportunity and give the fans an opportunity to see what a real "Premier Athlete" looks like.

Rey Fenix beats Tony Nese.

Tony Schiavone interviews FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) in the ring. Cash says "The Dynamite Kid" Tommy Billington has one of the brightest futures ahead of him, and that they would not let The Don Callis Family walk all over him. He also says it is no secret that FTR have had the greatest run of their careers and that he has gone through some personal things over the past year that have dragged his name through the mud and left a cloud hanging over his head, and that the ring was his only escape from it all. He thanks the fans for helping him getting past all of that and that all that matterd was wrestling every match like it was his last match, as he did not know if he would have a last match. Cash admits that he has a bit of a temper and can be hot-headed, but he will not let it happen outside of the ring, and for now, the only people FTR have their sights on are The Young Bucks (Nicholas and Matthew Jackson), and now, "it is time to go Buck hunting." Harwood says 2022 and 2023 were great years to be an FTR fan due to their four world tag team titles and three great matches with The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe), 58 minutes with Bullet Club Gold ("Switchblade" Jay White, "Rock Hard" Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn) and beating The Young Bucks at Wembley Stadium, but right now, their win-loss record is not that great and he has had a serious back injury that he was afraid he would not come back from, and The Young Bucks have leapfrogged them as the best tag team in the world, which does not sit well with him. Harwood says he watched AEW while rehabbing his back for six weeks hoping The Young Bucks would take the tag team division to the promised land only to be completely let down, as they did not even defend their titles, and while he could be making the worst decision of his life, FTR's road to the AEW World Tag Team Championships begins next week, with the road ending at All In. Harwood admits he is hard to work with and can be abrasive, but if the fans can give him some love, FTR will give them passion, blood, sweat and tears and become three-time AEW World Tag Team Champions.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Hikaru Shida, who says she came here for a fight and is still looking for one.

Kerry says it is great to be back in Texas with his sons and his friends, and says tonight is a great night for Texas. Kerry looks back on working with "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes and laments that there will never be another man like Dusty, then says that wrestling is changing and everything is a little different than from when he did it, and that Marshall and Ross could benefit from Dustin's advice. Dustin says that he has watched the Von Erichs for years and has learned well, then says that the storm has arrived and that two of the greatest legacies in wrestling are here tonight for the first time since 1978. Dustin tells Marshall and Ross that if they listen and watch, he and Kerry will lead them down a great road. He then tells Marshall and Ross that he has their backs.

Backstage, we hear from Mark Briscoe, who says that his schedule as Ring of Honor World Champion is heating up with his championship match against Roderick Strong at Death Before Dishonor. He says that he and Roddy have known each other for a long time, but he has grown wiser and tougher since they last wrestled each other, and he hopes Roddy is ready. He also talks about the upcoming Blood & Guts match, and tells The Elite (Nicholas Jackson, Matthew Jackson, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada, "Scapegoat" Jack Perry) that pro wrestling runs parallel with society and that The Elite are an example of the problems in this world today due to their power and privilege. He says that Team AEW (Swerve Strickland, Darby Allin, "Platinum" Max Caster, Anthony Bowens, Mark Briscoe) represents "the grinders in society," then says he will be disappointed if The Elite do not bring the fight.

He calls it "a business for grown-ups" and not a popularity contest he would have lost a long time ago, then admits that 15-year-old him never would have guessed he had no idea he would sell out so many venues as a professional wrestler. He tells the fans to tell him when he is telling lies (which he does a few more times during his promo). Punk says he is tired of being nice and that he got here on the backs of passionate fans, and he has never fit in more in any place other than professional wrestling, and says he loves the fans and that the fans love him because he has never compromised. After stating that the fans made it possible, Punk admits there are people who hate him for the same reason the fans love him, and that his presence makes people uncomfortable because he is the truth and the truth make people uncomfortable. He tells the fans to call him what they want, love him, hate him, cheer him and boo him and that people hate him because they know he is right, and that he is a genuine article in "a world of counterfeit bucks." Punk then says that the king is back and that he has a lot of things to get off his chest, then asks why he would change when he will always speak truth to power, be himself and never compromise. He says that he has become older and wiser in his years, and sorry that the only people softer than the fans are the wrestlers they like, and states that he is holding what is inside his red bag only because he won his dog collar match and that it is his until someone pins or submits him for it.

MJF shows up and refuses to face Danielson in the ring, as he says he does not get his rocks off by putting his body on the line for the fans, and that he gets a big, fat check in the mail whether he wrestles or not. He admits that the fans love Danielson and chant his name week after week and that Danielson is a pretty solid wrestler, then says that if Lance Storm and Dean Malenko had a kid, it would be more charismatic than Danielson. He says that looking like a goat does not make one the greatest of all time, and that he would not be shocked if 1981 if his mother couldn't find a human suitor.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for September 7, 2022

We see a video package of MJF's sudden departure and return from AEW.

We hear from Tony Khan. He announces that he has been forced to vacate the AEW World Championship and Trios Championships, and that new Trios champions will be decided tonight. As for the AEW World Championship, the new champion will be decided in a Grand Slam Tournament of Champions that starts tonight and ends at Grand Slam. Tony Khan promises that tonight will be a great night of wrestling and that AEW will be at their best for the next couple of weeks. (This comes after a very physical confrontation between CM Punk and The Elite [Kenny Omega, Nick Jackson, Matt Jackson] following incendiary comments towards The Elite from CM Punk at the All Out post-event media scrum.) br />

MJF heads to the ring. MJF declares "The devil is back!", then asks who is excited to see him, then mentions that the last time he was here, he said offensive things, then says everyone can agree that he did not mean it and that he loves AEW. He starts an "AEW" chant, then says that he didn't mean when he called the fans "stupid marks," as there is no MJF without the fans. He mentions the vacating of the AEW World Championship and says he knows one guy who deserves the championship. He says he is about working smart and not hard, and is avoiding the tournament thanks to the chip from the Casino Ladder Match. MJF also announces that Tony Khan is paying him "a load of freakin' money," and that if there is one thing that is known to be true, AEW is not in dark times and that he can provide the leadership AEW needs. MJF says he is not Moses and that he is "better than Moses," and that he will win the World Championship. Suddenly, Jon Moxley shows up and heads to the ring. Moxley tells MJF he is "absolutely full of crap," and MJF asks Moxley if he thinks he is not being completely honest in front of the fans, who he then trashes along with their football team after praising both just earlier. He then says that Moxley may have a point that he does not care about AEW or the fans and sees the World Championship as nothing more than "a bargaining chip for the bidding war of 2024." MJF also entertains taking the World Championship "to a real wrestling company with real wrestling fans" like WWE and work for "Jolly Old Saint Nick" Khan and Triple H, as it is "what is best for business." Moxley says this is not the time or place and commands MJF to leave the ring before he makes him leave. He takes off his jacket, and MJF unbuttons and removes his shirt. MJF has a brief staredown with Moxley before leaving the ring, and Moxley tells MJF his theme music sucks as he makes his way out before telling the fans he is pissed off and embarrassed about a lot of things, including not being champion. He says that while the championship belt is metal and leather, what is represents to him - passion for the support and the business by the fans and the wrestlers - is important. He says the championship represents a time when the world needed heroes and when people needed to know what wrestling could be, as well as the freedom to be as great as one can be. He also says that the championship represents being better today then one was yesterday among other things, and while he lost on Sunday and it is his fault, he has another chance to take the game-winning shot. Moxley mentions the other participants in the tournament, saying they are all better than he can ever be and that he is making "a hell of a shot," then says the winners always want the ball when the game is on the line and that he wants the ball. He says that he will take the shot, for this is not just the time to win, but the time to be a legend.

Death Triangle (Penta el Zero Miedo, Rey Fenix, PAC) beat Best Friends (Orange Cassidy, Chuck Taylor, Trent Beretta) to win the vacant AEW World Trios Championships. During the match, it is announced that The Acclaimed ("Platinum" Max Caster and Anthony Bowens) and Swerve In Our Glory (Keith Lee and Swerve Stickland) will have a tag team title rematch at Grand Slam.

Backstage, Tony Schiavone interviews The Dark Order. Suddenly, Jose the Assistant tries to get Preston "10" Vance to sign a contract, but Dark Order tells him to beat it. Andrade el Idolo and Rush show up, with Andrade el Idolo wanting to speak to 10, but Dark Order are not in the mood for them either.

We see backstage footage from All Out where Jamie Hayter does not want to hear any apologies from Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D.

Toni Storm beats Penelope Ford in an Interim AEW World Women's Championship Eliminator Match.

We see a video package of the aftermath between the team of Hook and Action Bronson and the team of "Cool Hand" Angelo Parker and "Daddy Magic" Matt Menard. Action Branson challenges Parker and Menard to a tag team match at Grand Slam.

As The Acclaimed ("Platinum" Max Caster and Anthony Bowens) make their entrance, they are interrupted by Swerve Strickland, who gets called an asshole by the fans. Swerve says The Acclaimed as AEW World Tag Team Champions is a joke, then Billy Gunn cuts him off and tells Swerve this is his house, not Swerve's, and Anthony Bowens says that thanks to the fans, The Acclaimed has a tag team title rematch at Grand Slam and will be taking home gold.

Backstage, Tony Schavione interviews Anna Jay, Chris Jericho, Sammy Guevara and Tay Melo. Jericho says he is better than ever after beating Bryan Danielson, saying he found the fountain of youth that Ponce de Leon could not find and is drinking it in. He says the he is the best sports entertainer ever and that he will beat Bryan Danielson again on the way to winning a world title for the eighth time because AEW is his. Jericho also hypes up Sammy Guevara's tournament match with Darby Allin later this week on Rampage, and Sammy says that Darby Allin will get his "turtle lovin' ass" beat. Jericho mentions Daniel Garcia's match for the Ring of Honor Pure Championship tonight and says that he believes in him and knows he can win, but he is on his own after recent action. Sammy is preoccupied with everyone's abs.

Wardlow quickly retains the TNT Championship against "The Premier Athlete" Tony Nese. After the match, "Smart" Mark Sterling gets on the apron, and as Wardlow grabs him for a powerbomb, Josh Woods runs in to save Sterling. Wardlow then mentions talk on the internet about him "losing it," then says he is the TNT Championship and that it is time to remind everyone that is his world.

We see a video package for Darby Allin vs. Sammy Guevara in the Grand Slam World Championship Tournament later this week on Rampage. Darby Allin says he will show up without Sting in his match with Guevara, and tells Guevara to do the same and come to the match on his own.

William Regal guests on commentary for the next match.

Bryan Danielson beats "Hangman" Adam Page after countering the Buckshot Lariat with a roll-up to advance in the Grand Slam World Championship Tournament.

We hear from Jungle Boy, who says that Christian Cage has only prolonged the inevitable and that when Christian comes back from surgery, he will take years off his career. He also becomes furious at Luchasaurus for turning on him after carrying his career on his back even when everyone thought Luchasaurus was a liability and a joke. Jungle Boy says a giant anchor has been released from around his ankle, and says that sometimes you have to move on from your past and sometimes you have to destroy it.

Stokely Hathaway shows up with "All Ego" Ethan Page, The Gunn Club (Austin and Colten Gunn), Lee Moriarty and W. Morrissey when a worker tells him he is low on time. Stokely grabs him by the shirt, demands respect, then punches him before The Gunn Club gang up on him. The Gunn Club then hold the worker down so that Morrissey can hit him with a big boot. Lee Moriarty looks into the camera and says "He got knocked the hell out!"

We see a video package for Dax Harwood vs. Claudio Castagnoli for the Ring of Honor World Championship this week on Rampage.

Chris Jericho shows up and shows legitimate concern as Danielson and Garcia talk before Danielson raises Garcia's hand, at which point Jericho is livid. The show ends.
