Results by: Alex Kahrs of Wrestleview.com
It is Wednesday, my dudes…you know what that means!
Commentary welcomes us to the show…and speaking of commentary, Jim Ross gets an introduction for his return to the booth to a big pop from the Tulsa crowd. As JR makes his way to the desk, we get hype for the rest of the lineup for tonight. Bandido defends his ROH World Title this week and will challenge for the AEW World Title at Maximum Carnage next week. We then find out that a trios match scheduled for tonight is unclear, as we head backstage to find out that JetSpeed were attacked earlier today.
The Demand feign being shocked by this development as Don Callis talks about someone being much richer thanks to the bounty that was put out on them. He then hypes up Mark Davis and new DCF member Jake Doyle (or, uh, Something like that…hint hint) before they leave. Commentary says Jake Perry now must find two new partners for his trios match.
We head back to ringside for our opening contest, where Jon Moxley and Shelton Benjamin make their respective entrances to get this match underway!
AEW Continental Championship Title Eliminator Match: Jon Moxley vs. Shelton Benjamin
We start off slow as a handshake attempt is slapped off by the champ. The two go at it until Shelton takes control, sending Mox to the corner…but Mox fights back with a set of chops to get out of the predicament. Benjamin takes the fight back to him with some chops of his own, sending him across the ring for more damage.
Mox catches Shelton with a boot to the face before sending him over the top rope to the outside, following close behind to send him into the barricade. Mox returns the favor on the potential challenger, but Benjamin manages to send him over the barricade into the crowd. Ref showing some discretion as he pleads with the men to bring the action back into the stands, but to no avail. The fight finally finds its way back toward ringside, with both men getting back into the ring just long enough to break the ref’s count.
Mox catches Shelton in a hammerlock before driving him into the ring steps, and gets back in the ref as the ref reaches a new count of eight before Benjamin returns as well. Shelton starts to fight back as he hits the ropes, but gets sent down to the mat hard by the champ as we go to an ad break.
-FULL AD BREAK (ON HBO MAX)-
We come back just in time to see Shelton land an avalanche suplex on Mox, sending the champ crashing to the canvas. With both men back to their feet they began slugging it out, but Benjamin starts to take control until Mox dodges a corkscrew kick.
This allows Mox to regain control of the match, setting up for a Gotch style piledriver until Shelton breaks free. He lands three German suplexes in a row on the champ, but Mox is already back on his feet…only to get sent right back to the very limits of Shelton’s suplex residence (or something like that).
Mox turns it around to take Benjamin down, using the ropes to get back to his feet. The two exchange strikes, with Mox winning the affair to take a nearfall as we get the five minute warning announced. Mox turns things up a notch as he sends Shelton to the corner for some mounted punches…until Benjamin counters into a powerbomb for two!
He quickly transitions into a modified STF of sorts, wrenching the neck of the champ until Jon gets the ropes for a break. He sends Shelton to the ropes, setting up a low bridge to send him to the outside for a dive that sends Benjamin into the barricade. He brings Shelton back in the ring, but gets taken down with a slam allowing Shelton to get a nearfall.
The fight heads to the corner, where Mox looks to take Shelton down…but Benjamin catches him with a kick to the back of the leg, allowing him to take the champ down for another two count. He lands a couple more kicks before Mox counters into a Paradigm Shift DDT. He makes the cover, but Shelton kicks out!
Mox locks in a choke hold, Shelton fighting to break free as we’re down to one minute remaining. Benjamin reaches the ropes for a break, landing a knee strike followed by a triangle choke…but the champ stacks him up on his shoulders for the three, just seconds away from the time limit!
Winner via pinfall: Jon Moxley
Jon shakes hands with Benjamin after the match, a sign of sportsmanship after a remarkable bout between the two. Commentary hypes up the match between Bandido and Sammy Guevara for later tonight, as well as a future appearance by MJF ahead of their match at Maximum Carnage next week.
Backstage, we see Darby Allin with a look of focus on his face as he looks for someone (maybe Gabe Kidd?) before we cut to a video package highlighting the retirement match of Hiroshi Tanahashi at Wrestle Kingdom 20, where the Ace of New Japan faced off against one of his biggest rivals in Kazuchika Okada.
Up next, The Demand face Jack Perry and a pair of replacements to be announced!
-Commercial Break-
Back from break, we take another look at Kenny Omega calling out MJF as he looks to get another shot at the World Title. He returns to action next week at Maximum Carnage!
We head to ringside where The Demand make their entrance for our next match. We’re reminded that they took out Luchasaurus last week at New Year’s Smash, leaving us to wonder who will team with Perry tonight.
Speaking of, Jack Perry makes his entrance to a big pop as he heads down the ramp. We quickly find out who his partners are for tonight, as The Young Bucks come out to their old Superkick Party theme to a big pop from the crowd. They meet up outside the ring before sliding in, going at it with The Demand to get this match underway!
Jungle Jack Perry, ???, and ??? vs. The Demand
The match quickly spills to the outside, where the Bucks and Perry take turns for some dives on their opponents. Perry returns to the ring with Ricochet, the two going at it until the Bucks come in for an assist leading to a triple dropkick on the AEW National Champion. Perry makes a tag to Nick for a double-team, and and the tags rotate between he, Matt, and Perry to keep Ricochet at bay. This culminates in a DDT by Perry, but Bishop Kaun breaks the pin attempt that follows. GOA get caught on the outside by a dive from the Bucks as Jack continues to keep control of Ricochet for a nearfall.
GOA return to the corner, distracting Perry long enough for Ricochet to send him to the floor with a dropkick…and The Demand send Perry into the timekeeper area to keep him out of action as we go to ad break!
-FULL AD BREAK (ON HBO MAX)-
Back from break, Ricochet sends Perry to the ropes but takes a clothesline for his troubles. Perry crawls to his corner for a tag, getting Matt back into the match. GOA try to intervene, but the Bucks fend them off before Matt gets a nearfall on Ricochet. GOA get back in the ring, this time taking out Matt with a set of Samoan drops followed by an elbow drop and diving headbutt combo as Ricochet hits a 450 splash for a two count.
Perry tags in as GOA once again come back, setting up for a cutter on the former Jungle Boy. Ricochet sneaks in for a Vertigo and the cover, but only gets a nearfall. He heads to the corner for a Spirit Gun, but Perry dodges it…countering a powerbomb into a poison rana to follow! GOA get cut off by the Bucks before they and Perry land a triple superkick on Ricochet. The attack continues until a BTE Trigger and a knee strike means a win for the Bucks and Jack Perry!
Winners via pinfall: Jungle Jack Perry and The Young Bucks
The celebration as cut short as Mark Davis and Jake Doyle head to the ring, starting up a beatdown by the Don Callis Family that is briefly cut off by JetSpeed heading down. The lights cut out, and when they come back on we see someone in a mask taking out JetSpeed. Not just anyone in a mask, though…it’s a returning Andrade El Idolo (presumably clearing all the legal hurdles to get him here)!
He stands tall with the rest of the Family as we see The Demand on the ramp watching on…followed by FTR stepping onto the stage to get a good look at a former ally and potential contenders for their tag titles as we go to commercial.
-Commercial Break-
We head to ringside as Renee Paquette welcomes us to the title celebration for Willow Nightingale, introducing the new TBS Champion to the ring to a big pop from the crowd. Her fellow champions and friends Harley Cameron and Kris Statlander join her in entering the ring, as someone on the production team is seemingly trying to figure out how to work the lights and fog machine (to the point where someone on commentary is struggling).
As this goes on, Willow hypes up her win and thanks her friends for being here. The crowd is slightly rowdy as they chant “we want cake,” to which Willow says they’ll get some before talking about potential challengers. She’s willing to fight twice in one night if she has to.
She also invites anyone who wants to come crash her party to do so now, including “miss thing” Mercedes Moné who she defeated for the title last week. Sure enough, the CEO makes her way out wearing a getup that looks like she has arrived at a funeral.
Moné makes her way to the ring as Willow says they have so much to celebrate. She hypes up all that Merecedes did this year, but it’s not enough for Moné to start throwing a fit…to which the other ladies respond by sending her into the cake not once but twice!
Mercedes is laid out in the ring as the other ladies do a conga line around her.
We get a look back at Hechicero getting a future shot at the TNT Title after beating Komander, followed by a vignette from Mark Briscoe at his home where he hypes up new TBS Champion WIllow Nightingale and then talks about recovering after recent matches. He promises to keep the title away from the Don Callis Family, as the phrase of the day is “reign and defend.” Saturday night on Collision sees him defend the title against Hechicero!
We cut to a shower corner(?) where the Triangle of Madness call out the current champions as they look to make things toxic in 2026. Next week we’ll see them face the Babes of Wrath and Kris Statlander in trios action!
We get a look back at Guevara challenging Bandido to a match for tonight, looking to “replace” the ROH World Champion ahead of his match for the AEW World Title.
Back at ringside, Guevara and Bandido make their entrance to get this match underway!
Non-Title Match: ROH World Champion Bandido vs. Sammy Guevara
Bandido looks to adhere to the Code of Honor but Sammy just flips him off, only to be sent to the outside by the champ for a dive. Bandido brings the ROH tag champ back into the ring, but Guevara evades a 21 Plex for a breather on the outside…before spitting something (presumably water) into the face of Bandido to distract him. He sends Bandido into the ring steps before posing on the announce table as we go to ad break.
-FULL AD BREAK (ON HBO MAX)-
Back from break, Guevara has control as he lands some shots on Bandido in the ring. Bandido fights back with some strikes of his own, but Sammy counters to send the luchador into the corner. Bandido responds in kind before sending Sammy down with a dropkick, and goes up top for a torneo taking Guevara to the canvas.
He hoists Sammy up for a press slam before sending him out of the ring with a pump kick, and then builds up speed for a dive sending the tag champ to the floor! The fight returns to the ring, where Guevara manages to send Bandido into the ropes with a monkey flip forcing the ROH World Champion to the outside. He lands a big dive from the turnbuckle before sending Bandido back into the ring, where he hoists Bandido up…only for the luchador to counter, setting up for a 21 Plex!
But it’s no good as Sammy takes him down hard to the mat, picking up a nearfall in the process. Bandido back to his feet, breaking free of a GTH to hit a pump kick. He hits the ropes for the 21 Plex, but Sammy lands on his feet before connecting with a knee strike for a two count. “This is awesome” chants as Guevara continues to taunt Bandido for a thrust kick…but the luchador blocks it, setting up for a 21 Plex to pick up the win!
Winner via pinfall: Bandido
The celebration is cut short by the arrival of the AEW World Champion as MJF comes out to ringside. He has a microphone as he heads to the ring, and it looks like Jon Cruz is about to act as interpreter as MJF congratulates Bandido on the win tonight. MJF, of course, then hypes himself up as someone who knows a thing or two about luchadores and even calls himself a lucha libre legend. He respects Bandido, however, and because he respects him he has asked “Jonathan Cruz” to translate for him.
Sure enough, Mr. Cruz translates all of this, though I suspect Bandido got the gist of this the first time around. MJF thanks Cruz for being willing to “come to a dump like Oklahoma” for his services before talking up his previous Dynamite Diamond Ring wins. He claims the ring Bandido has actually belongs to him, telling Bandido to hand it over and we’ll call off the world title match for next week.
He promises to talk to Tony Khan to “put over” Bandido and get him a PPV match in maybe 5-10 years time. He asks Cruz to translate, but Bandido cuts him off to tell MJF that he can speak English, cursing the champ out before we get a staredown…that gets cut off by a low blow from MJF! He gets Cruz to hold the ROH World Champion after stealing the ring, looking for another cheapshot…but Bandido breaks free, and Cruz gets laid out!
Bandido sends Jon out with a 21 Plex before landing one on the AEW World Champion as well, with MJF retreating to grab his title before leaving up the ramp while Bandido celebrates.
Up next we will see “Timeless” Toni Storm take on Marina Shafir!
-Commercial Break-
We get a vignette highlighting Brody King’s two lives: beating up men in the ring in AEW and beating up his vocal chords performing on stage. (That’s my assessment anyway lol)
We head to ringside for our next match, as “Timeless” Toni Storm makes her entrance to a nice pop from the crowd. Marina Shafir makes her way through the crowd, also getting a nice pop on her way to the ring to get this match underway!
Toni Storm vs. Marina Shafir
Big “Toni” chant as the two women lock up, with Storm sent into the ropes only to go after Shafir. Marina fights back with a side headlock, transitioning to a set of submission holds to keep the Timeless One grounded to the mat. Toni fights back to her feet, taking Marina down with a boot sending her to the outside.
Toni follows close behind, slamming Shafir against the ring steps as we Yuta confronted by the former women’s champion. This allows Shafir to cinch in a headscissors on Storm, but Toni counters into a pinning combination for two as we go to ad break.
-FULL AD BREAK (ON HBO MAX)-
Back from break, Shafir regains control but slips on a headscissors in the ropes, settling for a kick instead as she continues to go to work on Storm. She mocks Toni throughout, “dancing” with the former champ as she slams her down. Storm counters an Irish whip to send Marina into the corner, but Shafir catches her with a kick when she goes for a hip attack! Shafir gets caught in a Big Package by Toni, but Yuta pulls the ref out of the ring…and the ref is having none of it as he calls for the bell!
Winner via disqualification: Toni Storm
Yuta and Garcia argue with the ref as Shafir goes back on the attack. Mina Shirakawa runs down for the save, only to be laid out by The Problem before Orange Cassidy and Roderick Strong run down to intervene as well. This situation finally calms down after Claudio Castagnoli heads down, and the Death Riders make their escape through the crowd as Cassidy helps Mina back to her feet. The sight of Cassidy, Storm, and Shirakawa giving off Tommy Dreamer ECW vibes for this fan as we go to commercial break.
-Commercial Break-
Backstage, PAC says he’s not interested in obliging Darby’s demands for a rematch even when Allin confronts him in person. Darby says he’s defeated everyone in the Death Riders except for PAC, asking him to give him this. When PAC refuses, Darby blindsides him with a fire extinguisher before threatening to break his ankle if he doesn’t say yes to a match.
PAC finally agrees to the match and Darby runs off before the Death Riders can get to him. AEW Dynamite rolls on.
Back at ringside, the lights go out to signify that AEW will not be held liable for what goes down in our main event. They come back on as The Opps make their entrance, followed by Hangman Adam Page and Swerve Strickland. The latter two make their way through the crowd to the ring, the lights continuing to flicker (again, someone on production’s about to get a talking to here) as this match gets underway!
Lights Out Match: Hangman Adam Page and Swerve Strickland vs. The Opps (Hook and Powerhouse Hobbs)
Swerve and Page have the upper hand early on, but Hobbs sends Strickland back out of the ring before grabbing a steel chair. Swerve is propped up against the steps as the Powerhouse takes a swing, but Strickland narrowly avoids it! Hobbs gets taken out by the Hangman instead, before he and Swerve turn their attention to HOOK.
Swerve lands a Death Valley Driver sending HOOK onto the apron before continuing the attack by sending the last-ever FTW Champion into the barricade. We see Page in the ring with a chain, and he chases HOOK before running into a spear by Hobbs…who gets sent to the floor with a dive by Strickland!
HOOK and Swerve are now fighting it out on the apron, until HOOK sends Strickland onto the hardest part of the ring with a T-bone suplex as we go to ad break.
-FULL AD BREAK (ON HBO MAX)-
Back from break, a table has been brought into the ring and propped against the corner…and it’s Hangman who gets sent through it with an exploder suplex by HOOK! A chair gets brought into the ring but it’s HOOK who gets hit with it in the corner, as Swerve brings in a staple gun to use on the young man.
Page takes a few shots at him before landing a pop-up powerbomb, but Hobbs is back in the ring and sends him out. He hoists Swerve up for a suplex but gets hit with a staple gun shot by Strickland…but Hobbs isn’t fazed by this until Page intervenes, allowing Swerve to go down low for a staple shot to Hobbs’s little powerhouses.
Page and Strickland leave the ring for more plunder, pulling out a board with cinder blocks set up to bring into the ring. Hobbs fights back with a chair until Strickland drops him with a German suplex…but the Powerhouse is back up, setting Strickland up on the cinder blocks. He grabs the chair but it gets pulled away by Nana, who gets laid out in the corner for his efforts. Swerve goes back after Hobbs now, eventually getting the chair to land some shots of his own on the Powerhouse.
Strickland goes up top, but gets caught by Hobbs…who drops Swerve onto the cinder blocks with the World’s Strongest Slam! Cover by Hobbs, but Hangman breaks the pin. Hangman goes for a Dead Eye but the Powerhouse counters out, and HOOK pulls him off the apron when he goes for a Buckshot Lariat.
To top it off, The Opps Dojo comes running out for a beatdown made legal by the nature of this match. Crowd letting them know how they feel about it as they get Page and Strickland back in the ring, where Hobbs ties the two up with the chain before looking to deal with Nana on the apron…who surprises him with a shot of coffee to the face!
This gives Page and Swerve a chance to break free, fighting off the Powerhouse as HOOK takes out Prince Nana only to be sent off the apron by an errant shot from Hobbs. Hangman lands a rolling forearm, but Hobbs blocks a Buckshot for the cover…only for Swerve to stop the pin! Swerve goes up top, changing direction to land a Swerve Stomp to the Dojo on the outside as Page sets Hobbs up for a Dead Eye (assisted by a Swerve Stomp) sending the Powerhouse onto the cinder blocks!
The two look at what they did, and this allows HOOK to go on the attack for a roll up and a two count…only for Swerve and Page to go after him next! Rolling elbow with a chain by Page, who wraps the chain around the neck of HOOK as Swerve lands the House Call. This is followed by a Buckshot Lariat, but Page isn’t finished as he wraps the chain around HOOK’s throat once more…this time sending him over the top rope, choking him out until HOOK taps out to bring this match to an end!
Winners via submission: Hangman Adam Page and Swerve Strickland
The pair celebrate as commentary hypes up Collision and Maximum Carnage to bring Dynamite to a close.
