AEW Dynamite returned to Cleveland with another action-packed episode, featuring a major tournament match, high-stakes promos, and tension boiling over ahead of AEW All In: Texas. Let’s break down everything that went down on this week’s show.
Recap Highlights:
MJF Targets Mark Briscoe and Hangman in Opening Promo
The show kicked off with a cold and calculated MJF. Coming off last week’s violent street fight, the Salt of the Earth didn’t waste time. He called out Hangman Page for ducking him for years and labeled Mark Briscoe a “charity case” that doesn’t belong in a main event. The words were ruthless—mocking Briscoe’s family, his grit, and his place in AEW.
MJF made it clear: he doesn’t care who he hurts on his road to the Unified AEW World Championship. He promised to “erase the Briscoe name from AEW history.”
Jon Moxley Defeats Speedball Mike Bailey in a Banger
In a wild collision of styles, Jon Moxley faced off against Mike Bailey in a must-see match. Bailey came out blazing with martial arts kicks and aerial offense, forcing Moxley to adjust. Moxley bit Bailey’s finger mid-match, slowed the pace, and introduced more brutality.
After a stiff avalanche butterfly suplex, Moxley sealed the deal with a Death Rider for the win. The match also featured an unexpected moment as Darby Allin appeared and attacked Wheeler Yuta during the bout, creating tension within the BCC.
Toni Storm and Alex Windsor Take Aim at Athena
Backstage, Alex Windsor made her presence felt with Toni Storm by her side. Windsor promised that fans would remember her name after Forbidden Door and threw shade at the TBS Champion Athena. She even joked about her “non-sexual friendship” with Storm, drawing laughs but staying focused on her goal: championship gold.
Storm then sent a clear message to Athena—sign the contract and face them like a real champion.
Mercedes Moné Rolls Into Cleveland in Style
“8 Belts” Mercedes Moné arrived at the arena in a stretch limo, flaunting her status as one of wrestling’s biggest stars. Carrying all her titles, she crushed a watermelon on camera before blowing off Renee Paquette’s questions.
“Don’t be such a mark,” Moné said smugly before walking away. Message sent.
Alex Windsor Wins TBS Title Qualifier in Chaotic 4-Way
Alex Windsor earned her shot at the TBS Championship after outlasting Queen Aminata, Skye Blue, and Billie Starkz in a wild Fatal 4-Way qualifier. Skye and Billie opened with fast-paced sequences, while Aminata showcased brutal knees and slams.
Windsor powered through all three competitors, surviving Aminata’s headbutts and Starkz’s swanton. The match ended in chaos as Mercedes Moné appeared at ringside, distracting Windsor. Athena capitalized with an O-Face to Windsor post-match, laying down the challenge with intensity.
The Young Bucks Lash Out Backstage
Nick and Matt Jackson weren’t happy. In a backstage segment, they ripped into AEW production—angry over missing pyro, poor music cues, and lackluster entrances.
They demanded Justin Roberts read their introduction word for word or “heads will roll.” Their egos were bruised, and it wouldn’t be long before they had a match to fight.
Don Callis Gifts Kyle Fletcher a Nude Painting
Backstage, Don Callis surprised TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher with a bizarre gift: a full nude painting of Fletcher holding the TNT title, hanging in a grand frame.
Fletcher laughed and called it “the best gift ever.” He then announced he’ll defend the TNT title this Saturday on Collision. The Don Callis Family’s brand of egotistical excess continued in full force.
Adam Copeland Challenges Stokely Hathaway for Next Week
In a serious backstage promo, Adam Copeland reflected on last week’s incident with Christian Cage and made it clear: he’s done playing nice.
Copeland warned FTR not to mess with him or his family and then challenged Stokely Hathaway to a match on next week’s Dynamite. He made it crystal clear—any interference would nullify restraining orders.
Brodido Upsets The Young Bucks in Tag Tournament
In the semifinal match of the AEW World Tag Team Title Eliminator Tournament, Brody King and Bandido—aka Brodido—shocked the world by defeating The Young Bucks.
Despite suffering technical entrance issues and even walking out to ice cream truck music, Brodido brought the fight. Bandido nailed the 21-Plex, and Brody delivered heavy-hitting offense to ground the Bucks. Brodido picked up the win and advanced to the finals, where they’ll face JetSpeed.
MVP Kicks MJF Out of The Hurt Syndicate
MVP was seen backstage praising Brodido when MJF interrupted, trying to broker a deal. But MVP wasn’t buying it.
“You’re selfish and dangerous, Max,” he said, officially kicking MJF out of The Hurt Syndicate. MJF smirked and said, “It’s not personal. It’s just business.” MVP warned him that if MJF somehow becomes champion, Bobby Lashley will make it personal.
Big Stoke and FTR Fire Back at Copeland
FTR and Stokely Hathaway responded to Adam Copeland’s challenge in a fiery backstage promo. Stokely mocked Copeland’s age and past injuries, sarcastically asking if “Adam’s hips are okay.”
He accepted the match but promised Copeland wouldn’t walk out of next week’s show the same man.
Swerve Strickland Calls Out Kazuchika Okada
Swerve Strickland was interviewed backstage and made it clear—he respects Okada but doesn’t fear him. “He may be a once-in-a-generation wrestler, but I’m once in a lifetime.” With Forbidden Door on the horizon, Swerve is preparing to prove himself against The Rainmaker in what could be a career-defining bout.
Mark Briscoe Gets Hangman’s Support
Mark Briscoe was seen warming up backstage for his main event match when Hangman Adam Page appeared. Hangman gave him a sincere pep talk, reminding Briscoe of how far he’s come and encouraging him to do what no one thinks he can—beat MJF and go on to All In.
Briscoe responded, “Tonight ain’t about talkin’. It’s about fightin’.”
Willow and Aminata Interrupted by Kris Statlander
In a backstage moment of mutual respect, Queen Aminata and Willow Nightingale praised each other’s efforts—until Kris Statlander barged in.
Mocking their “feel-good friendship,” Statlander claimed Willow was hiding behind smiles. Willow fired back, “I’ll smile all the way to the top—and anyone in my way is getting cleared out.”
Willow tossed confetti in Statlander’s face to cap the exchange.
Main Event: MJF Defeats Mark Briscoe in a Brutal Quarterfinal
Mark Briscoe gave MJF all he could handle in a gritty, emotional main event. Briscoe nearly scored the upset with a Froggy Bow through the table, but MJF raked the eyes and took advantage of a ref distraction.
One Heatseeker later, MJF picked up the win and advanced to the next round of the AEW World Title Eliminator.
After the bell, Hangman stormed the ring and brawled with MJF, reigniting their bitter rivalry. Security struggled to keep them apart as Dynamite went off the air.
Final Thoughts
This week’s Dynamite blended character depth with high-stakes wrestling. MJF’s villainy continues to push boundaries, Brodido is making magic in the tag ranks, and Swerve vs. Okada is shaping up as a generational battle. With Forbidden Door and All In Texas around the corner, AEW’s storytelling is heating up at just the right time.
