Tonight – All Elite Wrestling presented Dynamite live from the Masonic Temple Theatre in Detroit, Michigan. The show featured several key storyline developments, including Kenny Omega returning to make a save, confrontations setting up major matches for Double or Nothing and next week’s Beach Break special, and several hard-hitting contests. Here’s a rundown of the results:
Full Match Results & Key Storyline Developments
- Opening Segment: The show kicked off with a new theme song (“You Wanted War!” by Sum 41). “Hangman” Adam Page delivered an intense promo, reflecting on recent events. He was interrupted by his Double or Nothing opponent, Will Ospreay. Their staredown was cut short by the arrival of the Don Callis Family. Callis verbally sparred with both men and issued a challenge for Page & Ospreay vs. two members of his stable next week on Dynamite.
- Toni Storm def. Thunder Rosa, Penelope Ford, & Anna Jay via Submission (AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator). Storm survived the chaotic four-way, submitting Ford with a chicken wing crossface (Texas Cloverleaf variation) after interference from Megan Bayne and Harley Cameron occurred earlier in the match.
- Stokely Hathaway & FTR Segment: Stokely Hathaway confronted Tony Schiavone at commentary, shoving him before FTR intervened. They addressed Daniel Garcia ahead of their match tomorrow night on Collision.
- Nick Wayne def. Rhino via Pinfall (ROH World Television Championship Match). The Patriarchy’s Nick Wayne retained his title against the hometown veteran Rhino after hitting the Wayne’s World finisher, following interference from Killswitch and Christian Cage. After the match, Christian Cage acted like he was going to put the title around Wayne’s waist but he let it fall to the mat. He walked off as Wayne and Mama Wayne stood in the ring.
- MJF & Hurt Syndicate Segment: MVP, alongside AEW World Tag Team Champions Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin, addressed the crowd. They were interrupted by Top Flight (Dante & Darius Martin). Before the champions could respond, MJF attacked Top Flight from behind. MJF cut a promo saying “he hurts people.” Lashley told MJF he would give him an answer next week.
- The Young Bucks (Matthew & Nicholas Jackson) & Ricochet def. Swerve Strickland, Mike Bailey & Mark Briscoe via Pinfall (Trios Match). The Elite members secured the victory, pinning Mark Briscoe following an EVP Trigger. Post-match, The Elite attacked Swerve, Bailey, and Briscoe until Kenny Omega made the save, running off Okada and The Bucks with a steel chair.
- Jamie Hayter Interview: Renee Paquette conducted a sit-down interview with Jamie Hayter about her upcoming Owen Hart Foundation Tournament final match against Mercedes Moné at Double or Nothing. Hayter acknowledged Moné’s undefeated record but expressed confidence. Mone attacked and the brawl spilled out into the arena. The brawl ended with Mone choking out Hayter and posing next to the Owen trophy.
- Kazuchika Okada def. Kevin Knight via Pinfall (AEW Continental Championship Eliminator). Okada successfully defended his status, defeating Knight clean with the Rainmaker lariat.
- Will Ospreay Promo: The “Aerial Assassin” Will Ospreay addressed his upcoming Double or Nothing match vs. Hangman Page and the challenge from the Don Callis Family.
- Samoa Joe def. Claudio Castagnoli via Submission. In the main event, Samoa Joe choked out Castagnoli with the Coquina Clutch. Post-match, AEW World Champion Jon Moxley appeared via video promo, addressing Joe ahead of their Steel Cage Championship match next week at Beach Break.
