Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for July 15, 2026

In backstage footage from earlier today, we hear from Daniel Garcia and Will Ospreay. They are training with Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta as Jon Moxley shows up and tells everyone to get ready. Claudio, Garcia and Yuta leave, then Moxley tells Ospreay that most of the work is done and his neck has healed. Moxley says that people make simple things so complicated, and that when the moment comes, they hesitate. He tells Ospreay that he has earned this, and tells him that there will be times where he will have to make some hard decisions. Moxley says this is not a hard decision, and when he has the moment, he will not hesitate; he will pull the trigger.



Adam Copeland and Christian Cage retain the AEW World Tag Team Championships against The Death Riders (Wheeler Yuta and Daniel Garcia) after Yuta removes a top turn buckle only for Christian to kick Garcia in the groin behind referee Bryce Remsburg's back, which allows Christian to send Yuta upwards into a Spear by Copeland to win and retain. After the match, The Dogs (Clark Connors and David Finlay) and Claudio Castagnoli get in the ring and attack Copeland and Christian, then The Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin) run towards the ring to fight Claudio and The Dogs off. "Switchblade" Jay White shows up late as David Finlay rears back with his shillelagh, taking the shillelagh away from Davis and scaring him out of the ring. Christian confronts Jay White as Switchblade has the shillelagh in his hands, and Jay White hands the shillelagh to Copeland. This leads to a truce between the tag champs and The Bang Bang Gang. Meanwhile, David Finlay demands his shillelagh back as he watches from the crowd.



We hear from Andrade el Idolo as he is on the beach. Andrade says that he is free from his past and ready to become an AEW World Champion.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Andrade el Idolo. Andrade says he will battle every member of The Don Callis Family, and if he has to take all their championships, he will do it, as he will be an AEW World Champion. Andrade then pulls out a red jewelry box with a Dynamite Diamond Ring in it, saying he got it from a good friend. When Renee asks if the good friend is Will Ospreay, Andrade says "How you know?"

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong). The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona) soon show up and make it known they want the AEW World Trios Championships. As Kyle O'Reilly accepts the challenge, The Conglomeration are attacked from behind by The Lethal Twist (Jay Lethal, "Vanilla Baby" Blake Christian, "Big Shotty" Lee Johnson).

Andrade el Idolo beats Jake Doyle to earn a shot at Mark Davis and the AEW National Championship. After the match, Mark Davis shows up and confronts Andrade, but Andrade puts his Dynamite Diamond Ring on. Mark Davis steps back before Andrade can punch him with the ring.



Tony Schiavone introduces Kenny Omega into the ring for a championship celebration. Omega is soon joined by The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson), and Nick Jackson is carrying something in what looks like a light brown bag. Matt Jackson talks their and Omega's nearly 20-year friendship and how Omega won the big one all by himself and proved that he is still the best professional wrestler on the planet. Matt then admits that MJF's custom Burberry belt peeves him, and Nick pulls the original AEW World Championship with the black leather strap out of the light brown bag to hand to Omega. Omega says it has been over 1100 days since he last held the AEW World Championship, and admits that he was not sure if he would ever hold it again. He says that as much as he made a promise to himself, it took his friends, his family and his fans believing in him to keep him from giving up on himself. Omega says this was not supposed to happen, and yet, here we are with less than 50 days remaining until Wembley Stadium. He says that as much as he would like to say he is ready, there is still work to do. Omega says that the fans will see the best Kenny Omega that has ever been in AEW before Will Ospreay shows up and heads to the ring. Ospreay asks The Young Bucks if he could speak with Omega alone, which The Young Bucks allow before heading to the back. Ospreay says it is good to see Omega as AEW World Champion again. Ospreay admits he thought that Omega gave up on himself and knew that Omega had to believe in himself, and that when he wrestled MJF, he did not give up once. He says that it will heat up on the way to All In, and says that for ten years, Omega has been his hero and he has watched Omega wrestle around the world as Omega inspired him to be one of the best in the world. Ospreay says that when he thinks of AEW, he thinks of Omega, and that he has always wanted to be a fraction of what Omega is. He then says that he is locked in, and that the two of them will keep it going and show everyone why they are in the position they are in. Ospreay says that this is a dream come true of "Goku and Vegeta fighting it out," and at All In, they will show that AEW is where the best wrestle. Suddenly, "The Jet" Kevin Knight arrives as Omega and Ospreay are about to shake hands. Knight says that he and Omega have some talking to do, and tells Ospreay to leave. Ospreay is about to leave when Omega says Ospreay can stay, and Knight congratulates Omega on becoming AEW World Championship before stating he is still owed a World title shot. He says that "Maxwell Jacob Fraudman" is not here to give him that shot, but Omega is here and he is here to collect. Knight then asks what a god is to a non-believer, as he is ready to become a double champion, and challenges Omega for the AEW World Championship at Redemption. Omega notes that Knight is trying to hold him to a promise MJF made to him, and says that while he is not going to do that, he will give Knight a shot at the title anyway due to the potential that he saw in him. Omega says that he had "it" and had the undeniable factor" and "looked the part," and while Knight was hungry, that was where it ended, as Knight had to align himself with Don Callis. He says he would be a hypocrite if he told everyone here tonight that he did not believe in Callis' siren song and that Callis would lead him to the promised land, as he held the AEW World Championship because of him. He says that nobody believed in that version of him, and that his self-worth fell right down the toilet with Callis. Omega tells Knight he does not need Callis, and that when he believes in Knight, he says the same words that others have said about Knight. He tells Knight that he could have it all on his own with Callis, and while Knight can say what he will about MJF, MJF was not a fraud, as he still defended the title every week and was a man of his word. Omega then says the only fraud he sees is Knight. He says that Knight is not being himself, and that what he is saying is not coming from his heart, which he still believes has some good in it. Omega then says he wants "The Jet," not "Don Callis' lap dop," and he wants Knight to do it on his own. This leads to a "lap dog" chant, and Knight says that while Omega makes a good claim, there is no goodness - only greatness - left in his heart before he hits Omega with the microphone and deftly avoids a Hidden Blade from Ospreay only to get jumped by Darby Allin. "The Machine" Brian Cage shows up and attacks Darby before calling out the rest of The Don Callis Family. Ospreay and Omega are soon joined by Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli, and The Don Callis Family backs off.





Backstage, we hear from "Jungle" Jack Perry, who says that he is starting his second chapter in AEW. He says that he was on the verge of breaking through to the next level in his first chapter, and on Collision, he wants a match with someone else who wants to break through like he does and show what the future of professional wrestling is all about.

Brodido (Brody King and Bandido) beat Aaron Solo and Nick Comoroto.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Don Callis and "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher. As Fletcher says he is ready to put Komander away tonight, Brodido (Brody King and Bandido) shows up and hands both Renee a Fletcher a wanted poster of Bandido, much to Fletcher and Callis' annoyance.

Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

"The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher retains the AEW International Championship against Komander. After the match, Fletcher tears at Komander's mask, then "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita runs in and brawls with Fletcher. Takeshita then picks up the AEW International Championship and declares that it is his before "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada suddenly shows up and hits Takeshita with the Rainmaker. Fletcher and Okada are about to fight over the International Championship before Brodido (Brody King and Bandido) shows up and takes them both out.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Kenny Omega. Omega says there is no shortage of credible challengers and that he still has hope for "The Jet" Kevin Knight. Darby Allin shows up and tells Omega that Kevin Knight will not change overnight and that he must be physically humbled, and that he will take the TNT Championship from Knight and humble him. He tells Omega that he can either waste his time or he can beat it out of him, and Omega tells Darby he will leave it to him. Darby leaves, then Jon Moxley shows up and says that Darby is right and that some people are what they are and cannot pretend to be anything else even if they try.

Renee Paquette interviews The Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor) on the stage. Alex Windsor says that if there is anybody who knows anything about drinking and fighting, it is the people of Boston, Massachusetts. Jamie Hayter says they had a pretty good time, even though England let them down in the World Cup. Hayter tells the fans that The Brawling Birds will not let them down, and Windsor says they will beat anyone to prove they are the best women's tag team in AEW. Hayter then tells the fans "let's get pissed," and says the first round is on them as they leave with Renee.

Backstage, we hear from Chris Jericho, who says that Tommaso Ciampa left his beaten and battered at Beach Break, then says that they can go again at Redemption. He tells Ciampa to bring pain and that he will bring "The Painmaker." We then hear from Ciampa, who says that he is better than Jericho, and at Redemption, everyone will find out if The Painmaker is better than him. Ciampa accepts the challenge, but says he has one more night in his hometown, and on Collision, he wants Jericho to be watching as he makes an example of someone.

Darby Allin beats "The Machine" Brian Cage after tripping Cage on the ring steps for a Coffin Drop before hitting Cage with two more Coffin Drops back in the ring.



Backstage, we hear from "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher and "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada. Fletcher says that if Brodido (Brody King and Bandido) want to stick their noses in family business and take his title, he has no problem with that. Fletcher says he will be the greatest International Champion of all time, and if Bandido wants him, he wants Bandido at Redemption.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Don Callis and "The Jet" Kevin Knight. Callis says that Knight can handle whatever is on his plate, then says that Knight is too smart for Kenny Omega's mind games. He says that everything that Omega has gotten in life is because of him, and tells Knight to take care of Omega. Callis leaves, then "Speedball" Mike Bailey shows up and says that Knight's facade is not working, and tells him to take Omega's advice and know that everyone loves him enough that when he is ready to go back to who he really is, he is forgiven. Knight tells Speedball to let him be.

Mercedes Moné and The Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross) beat Willow Nightingale, Maya World and Hyan in a trios match.

Collision Course - Collision recap for May 16, 2026

In backstage footage from after Dynamite, we hear from The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir). Moxley says he cannot find a way to win against Kyle O'Reilly, who has tapped him out twice. He says that O'Reilly may become the Continental Champion, but he is not the same man he was six months ago. One might think he should stay as far away from O'Reilly as possible, as O'Reilly has his number, but there are dragons that he wants to slay and he will find a way to beat O'Reilly like he has the past 22 years. Claudio says that Brody King always brings the bark, then warns him that he must bring the bite in the Owen Hart Tournament. PAC says nobody gets special treatment, as it is Death Riders against the world. Marina Shafir says "Bring it, you pussies."

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Darby Allin. Darby says that MJF is not a company guy and that MJF only cares about himself, then says he is defending his title tonight because he loves doing it. He says that Sammy Guevara is the only guy who is crazy as him, and he knows it could all end tonight. He then says that if "Speedball" Mike Bailey wants a match, then Wednesday is showtime.

Backstage, Tommaso Ciampa attacks Mark Briscoe, and the attack turns into a brawl on the outside. Briscoe gets two chairs into the ring for a Jay Driller in the ring, but Ciampa blocks it and hits a low blow. Ciampa then hits Briscoe in the back with one of the chairs, then gets Briscoe on the top rope. Before he can do anything else, Kyle O'Reilly and Orange Cassidy force Ciampa to retreat into the crowd. Mark Briscoe says that is Tommaso Ciampa wants to do things this way, then their match on Wednesday can be a no-disqualification match.



The Opps (Samoa Joe and Anthony Bowens) beat The Lethal Twist (Jay Lethal and "Big Shotty" Lee Johnson) by submission. After the match, Bowens says that for the last year, he has been confused, but he has found solace in The Opps, saying that they understand he does for AEW, the business and the fans. He says that he is the fans' hero, and for everything he does, he deserves a standing ovation. Bowens then states that Samoa Joe has been teaching him all that he needs to know, including flipping the table over and choosing violence. Joe says that Ospreay understands what he does for his friends, then says that actions have consequences and that Ospreay took a different path. He is honored that Ospreay considers facing him a dream match, then says it will be nothing but a nightmare once they are in the ring.

Spring Break Thru - Dynamite recap for April 15, 2026

Backstage, Renee Paquette manages to get an interview with MJF. MJF puts himself on a pedestal regarding his recent title defenses, including against Kenny Omega, then speaks with Don Callis, who apologizes about "the Andrade thing." He finds out from Callis that Darby Allin beat Andrade el Idolo and got a world title shot, then tells Callis that he owes him one. Renee has to interrupt, telling MJF that the world title match with Darby is not just tonight, but right now. MJF shows up angrily to the match, saying he is not taking part in an impromptu match that he found out about three seconds ago. He says that he has a lot of money and says that if something will not happen, it will not happen. MJF threatens to sue numerous people, including the fans, referee Aubrey Edwards, ring announcer Justin Roberts and even Warner Bros. Discovery, but that leads to a "Ring the bell!" chant that just angers MJF further. He says that his back hurts from wrestling for almost an hour against Kenny Omega three days ago, and says it would be a bad look if he wrestled with a back injury. He says he is doing Darby a favor, saying he is talented, but that fans like him because he is "like them." He says he is doing Darby a favor, saying he is talented, but that fans like him because he is "like them." MJF tells Darby that he is good, but not great, and is not championship material and not ready to be the AEW World Champion. Darby snatches the microphone from MJF and says it takes one night to turn the wrestling world on its head, and if he is not ready now, he will never be ready. He says he has done so much to represent the company, and talks about how he started his career ten miles from tonight's arena. As Darby demands the bell be rung, MJF begs Darby off. Bryan Danielson then relays a message from founder Tony Khan, saying that while he agrees with MJF, this match will be the main event. Also, if MJF refuses, he will be stripped of the AEW World Championship. Darby then tells MJF that tonight, he will beat his ass with a headlock takeover.



In backstage footage from after Dynasty, Tony Schiavone interviews Kenny Omega, who has nothing to say after his loss to MJF before heading into the trainer's room. He is met by Will Ospreay, and Omega says that the night did not go their way. Omega says he feels like he let everybody down, and while Ospreay tells Omega not to doubt himself, Omega admits he does not have much time in his career left before telling Ospreay that he has plenty of time and that it is all up to him now. Ospreay says he has been sad, dejected and crying for the last 40 minutes, but he still aims to be AEW World Champion, and he is not giving up on that dream. He tells Omega that he can still do it before telling him he has his back and leaving the room, saying that Omega is his hero. Omega then says that maybe he cannot give up and that maybe there is still a chance.

Tommaso Ciampa beats Dezmond Xavier. After the match, Ciampa calls Dezmond "the example," stating that he is sick of waiting and that he wants all of the gold, and if he hasn't made himself clear, he will come after who wins the AEW World Championship tonight. Ciampa then knocks Dezmond out of the ring with another knee and tears up a fan's sign on the way to the back.



FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Stokely Hathaway head to the ring. Harwood says he has read all of the talk online and says that the fact that FTR has won again has made everyone angry. He understands that the fans are angry because they love an underdog story because they think they can relate to it when they are just losers. He calls the fans "fat losers" and that FTR gave Adam Copeland and Christian Cage, yet they could not get the job done. He declares that while FTR are tag team champions, Copeland and Christian will never get another shot at their titles again. Stokely says that he does not need hoes because he has the AEW World Tag Team Champions as he addresses the fans who seemingly know everything, and compares FTR to Goliath while stating the locker room is full of "wanna-be Davids." Stokely says that every time David steps up to the lion, they get put down, and states that while Tony Khan will throw teams from CMLL and New Japan Pro Wrestling at them, they will all fall to the Goliath in FTR. Wheeler pays homage to Copeland and Christian's careers now that they have gotten rid of them, and asks that the fans join them in a moment of silence only to get booed. After a fraction of a second of silence, the fans get a ten-second pose. Wheeler thanks the fans and wishes them a great night.



"The Jet" Kevin Knight retains the TNT Championship against Claudio Castagnoli. After the match, Knight gives Claudio credit for being one of the hardest-hitting wrestlers in AEW, then says that will not stop him as he is the new TNT Champion. He addresses losing the Trios titles the night before he became TNT Champion, then says that one door closes and one door opens and that one must slow down to speed back up before proclaiming that he is riding high. Knight then says that he will be keeping an eye on Darby Allin vs. MJF for the AEW World Championship as "Jet 2 Belts" sounds "too fly."



Renee Young interviews Chris Jericho in the ring. Jericho says he feels so happy to be back in AEW and to be back in the ring at Dynasty, saying it was one of his best matches in a long time, even though he lost because he was outnumbered three-to-one. All of a sudden, The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona) shows up, and Ricochet says he meant it when he respected him and that Jericho got himself hurt like he said he would, and that he took him out with the Lionsault, which he calls "the Rico-sault." Ricochet says that while Jericho did not embarrass himself, he did not overcome "the rise of Ricochet," and tells Jericho to quit while he is ahead unless he wants to re-invent himself as "the guy who gets his ass beat by Ricochet every time he shows up." Jericho thanks Ricochet for his insight while making fun of Ricochet for his baldness and calling Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona "dumb and ugly," then dares Ricochet to get in the ring with him one-on-one. Ricochet tells Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona to let him handle this one alone before heading to the ring, but it is not long before Kaun and Toa Liona get in the ring when Jericho gets the upper hand. Jericho tries to fight back, but he is still overpowered and eventually laid out, and Ricochet gets the last word with "the Rico-sault."



In backstage footage from after Dynasty, Renee Paquette interviews Don Callis and "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada. "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita runs by, but Callis wants to know what happened from him. Takeshita sarcastically says it was an accident and sarcastically apologizes to Okada, who gets angry.

Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

Will Ospreay beats Hechicero. "The Problem" Marina Shafir is seen watching the match from the front row. After the match, Ospreay is attacked from behind by Mark Davis, who hits Ospreay with a piledriver.



Renee Paquette is interrupted by "The Toxic Spider" Thekla from out of the crowd. Thekla brags about how she beat Jamie Hayter at Dynasty, then tells the fans to get used to her winning as the industry is full of nothing but "dumb bitches." Alex Windsor shows up and calls Thekla out for how she beat Hayter and says she should be the one to beat the piss out of her right now. Thekla tells Windsor not to get angry because she and Will Ospreay lost at Dynasty. Ospreay says she is the New Japan Pro Wrestling Strong Women's Champion and that Thekla is famous in Japan for getting herself fired. Thekla says Japan could not handle her just like how nobody here can handle her. Windsor says she can handle Thekla right now, but Thekla says no. Windsor then tells Thekla to put her title on the line so that she can face her on Collision, and Thekla accepts before Julia Hart and Skye Blue try and fail to ambush Windsor.



We hear from The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia). Jon Moxley says he likes to be surprised and that Will Ospreay never surprises him. "The Problem" Marina Shafir shows up, and Moxley notes from her that Ospreay is not looking good. Moxley says Ospreay showed him his cards, and contrary to popular belief, he does not enjoy the suffering of others, even though he appreciates the beauty of it. Moxley also addresses "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne, saying he knows nothing about him at all and wants Nick Wayne to surprise him. He says that Continental Championship rules are "adult stuff" and tells Nick Wayne to leave his mother in the back.

Willow Nightingale retains the TBS Championship against Kamille with a backslide pin despite Kamille attacking her shoulder during the match.



Backstage, we hear from Hikaru Shida and Kris Statalnder. Shida congratulates Willow Nightingale on her win, then says she and Statlander make a great team and that they will team up again on Collision, much to Statlander's confusion.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Darby Allin. Darby suddenly runs into Sting, who tells Darby that he knows what he needs to do and to go out there and do it. Darby says "It's showtime," but Sting says "It's your time. Go take it."



Darby Allin beats MJF to become the AEW World Champion! During the match, MJF hits Darby with a cheap shot behind the referee's back. Darby responds by nearly sending MJF into referee Aubrey Edwards, and when MJF stops himself, Darby hits a low blow, a Scorpion Deathdrop, four Coffin Drops, and - finally - a side headlock takover to beat MJF and become the champion. After the match, the locker room empties to celebrate with Darby Allin in the ring to end the show. Sting is the last to show up, and he hugs Darby before the show fades to black.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for April 8, 2026

A brawl between Will Ospreay and Jon Moxley turns into a beatdown for The Death Riders (Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir) only for Alex Windsor (Will Ospreay's real life fiancée) and members of United Empire (Francisco Akira, Great-O-Khan, Callum Newman, Henare) to show up from out of a black SUV to make it a five-on-five brawl. The brawl makes its way to the ring, where Callum Newman brawls with until Marina Shafir gets to him and chokes him out.

Backstage, we hear from Don Callis, who says that "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher is injured and out of action, which has thrown a wrench in his family's plans for the TNT Championship, which is now vacated and will now be up for grabs in a Casino Gauntlet Match at Dynasty. He says that his plans for the title are now off as a result, but he has a pivot that will blow everyone's minds. As for "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada and "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita and when they will fight, he admits he enjoys when people do not get along, but states that he calls the shots before mentioning that Takeshita will be in action with Andrade el Idolo and Mark Davis against Darby Allin, Bandido and "Jungle" Jack Perry. He hopes that his family wins so he can take the money and go out on the town and party like it is 1984.

The Don Callis Family ("The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita, Andrade el Idolo, Mark Davis) beat Darby Allin, Bandido and "Jungle" Jack Perry in a trios match. (Bandido replaces Brody King, who was originally scheduled for the match but is replaced due to personal reasons.) Early in the match, Andrade heads to the back, and Darby Allin grabs the microphone and calls him out, telling him to get back here, stop playing games, and stop being "Don Callis' little bitch." Andrade comes back with Don Callis, who guests on commentary for the rest of the match. After the match, Takeshita and Andrade stomp on Jack Perry. Bandido also gets stomped on, and Andrade points at a poster for Dynasty while confronting Darby before kicking him in the groin. Don Callis then gouges Jack Perry's eyes before The Young Bucks show up and give Davis and Takeshita a beatdown. Don Callis then gouges Jack Perry's eyes before The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) show up and give Davis and Takeshita a beatdown. El Clon, Hechicero and Lance Archer rush into the ring, but they get easily dispatched by The Young Bucks before they hit the EVP-Trigger on Mark Davis. "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada shows up before The Young Bucks can hit the Meltzer Driver on Davis and stops the move cold, then he and Takeshita stomp The Young Bucks before confronting and shoving each other. This soon leads to the both of them exchanging blows, and the entire Don Callis Family has to break up the brawl. The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz, Dezmond Xavier, Myron Reed) soon show up and dive over the top rope to take out the entire family, save for Okada, who just points and laughs at Takeshita. The Rascalz and The Young Bucks get the last word when Myron Reed leaps over the top rope and takes out Okada.

Chris Jericho heads to the ring. In his hands in a black clipboard with a purple AEW logo on the back, with purple sides. Jericho says he meant it when he said he was home, then says he will make it official by signing his new AEW contract in the ring, just 100 miles away from where he made his professional wrestling debut at the Moose Hall in Ponoka, Alberta in 1990. He says that he and All Elite Wrestling have made history since 2019 and that he has taken risks since he became part of it - some of them more successful than others - and that all he cares about is building AEW because he loves pro wrestling and he loves the company. Before Jericho can sign the contract, however, The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona) suddenly shows up. Ricochet announces that "Canada freakin' sucks" before stating that The Demand come in peace, and that Bishop Kaun would have already pulled the trigger if they did not. He then tells Ricochet to do them a favor and "just don't," telling him not to sign the contract as he has been rusty after being gone and signing with Fozzy for a year, which he says is "probably how [Jericho] got his abs back." Ricochet admits that Jericho has made history in AEW and has accomplished much, then says that AEW's attendance and ratings are up because of "the rise of Ricochet." He then says he is here to tell Jericho all of this because of how he respects him, and that he is speaking for everyone here when he says that nobody wants him in AEW. He then tells Jericho to pack it up, get out of his ring, get back on his cruise ship and never come back before he gets himself hurt, poking his hat into Jericho's chest on the last request. Jericho says "Wow...you really are bald," then says he respects Ricochet before stating "I really don't give a shit what you think." He signs the contract, which lets him pick his return opponent for Dynasty, and Jericho admits that while he could choose anybody, he has some things to do and decisions to make, which is all done in a second. He then removes the black part of the clipboard to reveal the word "Jericho," then says Ricochet made the list for being bald, coming out in a fancy sweatsuit and being around when he is in need of an opponent. Ricochet then becomes Jericho's opponent at Dynasty.



Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews The Don Callis Family. Don Callis announces that at Dynasty, Andrade el Idolo will not just beat Darby Allin, but put him in the dirt and earn a World title shot. He says that with "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher hurt, he has an even bigger match: The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) against "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita and "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada. Takeshita does not want to do this, but Don Callis says he is the only coach here and that they need to come together for Fletcher and beat The Young Bucks. Takeshita agrees on the condition that he gets a match with Okada for the International Championship. Callis says that match will happen at Double or Nothing if they can work together for one night, get along like Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, and beat The Young Bucks. As Takeshita and Okada shake hands at Callis' behest, Okada says he is Jordan while Takeshita is Pippen, and this almost starts a brawl.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews "The Toxic Spider" Thekla. Thekla says she does not want to hear about Jamie Hayter being champion one more time - threatening to take Lexy for a nice seafood dinner before dragging her to a strip club and breaking all of her fingers if she does - then tells Hayter that the game has changed. She says that Hayter was only champion because she was not here, and that as long as she is AEW Women's World Champion, she will never be champion again. Thekla says she took Hayter out first because she was the easiest, and that Hayter is coming back because she is "the dumbest bitch alive." He then says at Dynasty, Hayter will be "the dumbest bitch dead."



Adam Copeland and Christian Cage head to the ring. Copeland says their feud with FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) started all over pettiness, with FTR saying that were in his shadow and were nothing more than "glorified henchmen" for him. Copeland says this is the hand of reality slapping their faces. Copeland says he will not shrink himself to fit into FTR's world and that FTR are not big enough for his, and that he and Christian will reclaim their place at the top of the mountain and become the fans' AEW World Tag Team Champions. Christian tells FTR to sit down and shut their mouths wherever they are so he can conduct his business. He says FTR has been busy as they have not only pissed off Copeland, but the entire country of Canada. He says that as "everybody's favorite father figure," FTR have been so naughty that he has been forced to pay a visit to both of their mothers, and by that, he means that he "banged them both." He also says that he will visit Stokely Hathaway's mother as well, and when he does, he will do it as one-half of the tag team champions. FTR and Stokely Hathaway show up, but all of a sudden, Christian and Copeland are attacked from behind by RPG Vice (Rocky "Azucar" Romero and Trent Beretta) , who have come out of the crowd. This leads to a 4-on-2 beatdown. Christian Cage briefly gets the upper hand, but he gets shoved by Cash Wheeler into one of the tag team titles, which is held by Stokely. Meanwhile, RPG Vice drive a metal folding chair into Copeland's head. Dax then wraps a chair around Christian's left hand, and Stokely steals Christian's Rolex before Cash stomps the chair from the top rope, injuring Christian's left arm.



Backstage, Darby Allin says that despite seemingly caring about nothing, he cares too much, and says that he has to win the big one and be AEW World Champion. He says that Andrade el Idolo does not truly understand what he has gotten himself into, and that he needs this win more than anything in a world that says he is not enough when he has always been enough.

We see a video package for Kenny Omega in anticipation of Kenny Omega vs. MJF for the AEW World Championship at Dynasty.

Tony Schiavone introduces Kenny Omega to the ring. Kenny Omega talks about how he drove a car 14 hours from Winnipeg, Manitoba to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada to take part in the city's independent scene 25 years ago. He also mentions that "Speedball" Mike Bailey stopped him from playing into MJF's hands and ruining their World Championship match, and says that his nicknames are not just words, but things people have said about him. He considers those nicknames a responsibility and a weight upon his shoulders when he wrestles, and says that MJF runs his mouth but cannot deliver while he himself takes wrestling and recreates its image. It should have been MJF, not him, who should have gotten mad because all MJF can do is talk, because he cannot do what Omega and a few others can do, but he was the one who lost his cool. Omega says it was all on him to save the legacy of AEW of being where the best can wrestle the best, then says it is not his responsibility and legacy alone and that it belongs to the fans as well. He says that the fans deserve a champion who wears the World Championship with pride and goes down as one of the greatest of all time, and that it will not be MJF if he feels as good as he is and turns his weaknesses into strengths. Omega says it has gone from getting better and recovering to getting stronger, and Omega promises that he will take the World Championship and right the wrongs that MJF has committed in AEW. MJF shows up and takes Omega's words as thought that he is better than him, saying it makes sense for Omega and the fans to talk himself up, because deep down, they are all "scared shitless" that this might be Omega's last shot at the AEW World Championship. MJF says it will be Omega's last shot and that the clock is ticking on Omega's career, then brings up Omega saying he lost in their last match because he was at 75%. He wants to know what Omega's excuse will be when he beats him again. MJF admits he loves more than anything that in their match at Dynasty, Omega will find out that he is not on his level and that the fans' god will fall while the devil will rise to the throne where he belongs. Omega says he learns a little more about MJF every week that they speak like this, and that the AEW World Championship means a lot to MJF to the point that he would shake the challenger's hand, as this is the last time they can meet respectfully like men. Kenny Omega offers to shake MJF's hand and let bygones be bygones before an incredible main event, and MJF tosses the microphone away only to refuse, turn around and go for a cheap shot and eat a knee before he can land it. Omega then removes the Dynamite Diamond Ring from MJF's ring finger and says he saw this coming a mile away, then says that their match will not be like it was up until now and that it will end with him bidding the fans adieu.

He calls this the purest form of competition in pro wrestling and the Continental Championship the highest stakes in the game, and that Ospreay would be smart enough not to do this at less than 100%, which Moxley considers "one hell of a bluff." He says that The Death Riders are about keeping the sport pure, and that he will let delusional people be delusional and have them find out whatever they need to find out in due time. Moxley says to expect no mercy, even though he does not have to beat Ospreay because Ospreay will beat himself.

New Year's Smash - Dynamite recap for December 31, 2025

MJF is seen entering the arena and entering the ring to start tonight's show. There is a table in the ring - which has a red mat - and on the table is something covered in a red mantle. He throws down the AEW World Championship and re-introduces the "Triple B" before mentioning that the fans think that this is unfair and stating that anyone who thinks they are on his level should step up or get stepped on. He says that he is a stallion and that he is done slow-trotting around for all the donkey in the locker room, then says he is at a sprint and that he is not slowing down until he is the greatest of all time. All of a sudden, Kenny Omega appears on the video screen. He feels that he is approaching the end of his career and admits he hates that feeling, as he is leaving a stone unturned, and wonders if he could be champion again and wonders what would happen if MJF never beat him.He says that whatever it takes to prove he is worthy of a challenge, MJF will be seeing a lot more of him. MJF says that Omega was not man enough to say any of that to his face, then "Hangman" Adam Page shows up from out of the crowd with a chain around his neck. Right after that, Swerve Strickland and Prince Nana also appear. Swerve is also wearing a chain around his neck as he and Nana come out of the crowd, and the three of them head to the ring. Security soon shows up from backstage to hold them back, and MJF says that he is a professional wrestler and that wins and losses matter, and that Hangman and Swerve are losers. He tells them to earn some wins, talk to Tony Khan and earn their chances so he can beat them again, but on his way out, Hangman and Swerve get past security. Hangman and Swerve soon lay security out. Hangman grabs a microphone and threatens to strangle MJF with the "Triple B" before he takes it away from him, and Swerve tells MJF to pray that Hangman gets to him before he does, then says that the hunt is on and "may the worst men win." The Opps (Samoa Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs, Hook) soon show up on the video screen, and Samoa Joe says that the only man who deserves to be number one contender is him, "the rightful and robbed champion." He says he has "eternal obstacles" that are in his way of getting what is his, then sends Hook after Hangman for laying his hands on him so he can choke him on sight. Joe then sics Powerhouse Hobbs on Swerve before saying that they can do this next week as he does not want to spend any more time in "this broken, busted ass cow town." Hangman calls Samoa Joe is "new year, same dumbass" and wants Hook. Swerve wants a Lights Out match in response to Samoa Joe's threats.
