It’s Wednesday, and you know what that means …
All Elite Wrestling is live tonight at 8/7c on TBS and HBO Max, as the post-AEW Redemption 2026 episode of AEW Dynamite is live from the Masonic Temple in Detroit, Michigan.
Will Ospreay, Death Riders & Hangman Page Kick Things Off
An extended video package highlighting key moments from this past Sunday’s AEW Redemption pay-per-view airs to start things off. Intertwined with the footage is shots of Jon Moxley shouting as his monitor backstage live just before Kenny Omega turned on Will Ospreay. He was yelling “get him before he gets you! he’s not your friend!”
We then return live outside of the Masonic Temple where Renee Paquette is waiting for Ospreay. He finally shows up and he’s pissed and storming ahead. He sees The Death Riders in the distance. They come up. Daniel Garcia says something negative and Ospreay decks him. PAC goes to rush him, but Mox stops him.
Mox gets in Ospreay’s grill and asks if he’s sure he wants to do that, showing him the Death Riders patch he gave him when he joined the group weeks ago. He says “You don’t get to pull the trigger for me, I’m out!” and slaps it on Mox’s chest.
Mox makes the Death Riders let him walk on. As he does, he is immediately stopped yet again, this time by Hangman Page. Page tells Ospreay he can’t focus on the AEW World Championship for obvious reasons. He says if he needs anything, let him know. Ospreay says he can’t trust Kenny, so he can’t trust him. He’s gonna do it alone.
Hangman stops him and says he knows the look on Ospreay’s face. He says he’s one of the best he’s ever been in the ring with. The deciding factor is if you believe it. He says the bell will ring in Wembley and Ospreay will be the best he’s ever been. He tells Ospreay he’s got this. Ospreay says thanks man and walks away.

Casino Gauntlet Announced For All In: London
During a post-match interview, Tony Schiavone mentions that Andrade still wants the World Title, and he says they are having a Casino Gauntlet match for a World Title shot at All In: London, but he is in the qualifying match next week in his hometown of Mexico City. The show moves on from there.
Backstage With The Brawling Birds
Now we shoot backstage, where we hear from the Brawling Birds, who tell Divine Dominion they talk too much. Then they tell to step up as the Brawling Birds will look to take the titles soon. On that note, the show shifts gears and heads into another commercial break.
Backstage With The Don Callis Family
When the show returns, we head backstage again where we hear from The Don Callis Family. The tension quickly builds up as Kyle Fletcher addresses defending the International Championship all by himself at Redemption, but he is cut off by Kevin Knight.
This leads to a brief confrontation with Kyle pointing out that Knight couldn’t beat Omega last night, before Okada chimes in to reassure everyone the International Title will stay in the Family. From there we go to ringside for our next match of the evening.
Kyle Fletcher, Brian Cage & Jake Doyle vs. ‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey, Brody King & Bandido
Now we see The Don Callis Family three-man team consisting of Kyle Fletcher, Brian Cage and Jake Doyle head to the ring. Out next are Brodido duo Brody King and Bandido, and their partner, “Speedball” Mike Bailey. Trios action is up next.
The match kicks off with Bailey and Fletcher, but not for long as Kyle tells him to tag out. Bailey obliges as we get a chant from the crowd while Brody King tags in. Brody quickly goes to work on the champ, wearing him down until Cage makes the tag, only to tag Doyle in as well, and the two go to work on King.
Doyle tags out to Fletcher, but this turns around on him as Bailey tags in for some shots on the man he challenges for the title next week. The fight spills to the outside with Bandido keeping Cage and Doyle at bay, making a tag to go after Fletcher from the turnbuckle.
Fletcher begins fighting back, but is hoisted up for a deadlift suplex by the luchador, who sends him to the corner for some punches. He gets sent to the outside, where Cage catches him with a powerbomb to the ring post while the ref is distracted.

Renee Paquette Sits Down With The Young Bucks, Cope & Cage
After a commercial break, we return to a sit-down interview as Renee Paquette talks to The Young Bucks and AEW World Tag-Team Champions Cope and Cage. The two teams show respect to each other for what they’ve done for the business, especially as it relates to the tag team division.
Cage has a bit more to add to this, stating that he and Cope didn’t come back for a retirement tour, a “greatest hits” tour as it were. They’re here to prove that they’re not only the best of their generation, but of yours as well.
He also notes he’s glad that the Bucks’ wives are coming to London, but Matt shakes this off as he talks about the Bucks looking to win the titles to be the most decorated team in the business. Cope interrupts to talk about he and Cage being out of the business for some time, and not even being a tag team for a quarter century.
He says so don’t make the comparison game with them. Matt adds that he’s just hoping the champs are ready as they’re gonna go at it harder, faster, stronger than ever before. Cage says it sounds like he’s trying to talk himself into a win. Renee asks about any doubts the two teams are facing.
Cope admits there is a little but he’s looking to overcome it. Matt says there’s been doubt given at them but they are prepared to stop that talk when they go into this match. With that, the interview comes to a close. Intense stuff to promote AEW All In: London.
TBS Championship
Maya World (c) vs. Persephone
Back to the ring we go, where Persephone makes her entrance for our next match followed by Maya World. TBS Championship action is up next. Persephone goes after the new champ quickly, only for Maya to fight back sending Persephone to the ropes.

She brings Persephone back in the ring, landing a Meteora of sorts for a nearfall. Persephone fires back with a delayed suplex, bridging for a close two count. The champ stops her cold in the corner for a moonsault, but as she goes for a cover a kendo stick gets brought into the ring.
We quickly see who brought the stick as Shida gets on the apron to distract the ref, but before Persephone can use the kendo stick it gets pulled away from an arriving Kris Statlander…which allows Maya to land a bridging suplex for the win.
Winner and STILL TBS Champion: Maya World
Backstage With Mark Davis
Maya celebrates with Kris showing some respect as we cut backstage, where Mark Davis addresses losing the National Championship as well as looking for some revenge on Will Ospreay. He promises to leave the Don Callis Family in the back next week so they can settle things.
Willow Nightingale’s AEW Women’s World Championship Celebration
Back at ringside, we get a glimpse of Chompie as Shark Week rolls on with the Discovery network, before we head to the ring for the Willow Nightingale AEW Women’s World Championship Celebration for her title earning victory at this past Sunday’s AEW Redemption. She comes to the ring as the crowd chants “you deserve it.”
Willow is choked up as she tells the fans how much that means to her. She addresses that there have been haters over the years, which gets some boos from the crowd. There are folks who look at her and just don’t get it, thinking big things would never happen.
This past year, she’s made the fans very happy by the reaction she’s getting. She jokes about the makeup artists working very hard (as in saying not to make her cry), before talking about her win as half of the first-ever Women’s World Tag Team Championship and defeating Mercedes Moné for the TBS Championship.
Then she got hurt, and it all came crashing down. She found herself in a dark place, but you know who helped her get out of that? Good ol’ mom. This gets a “mom” chant as she thanks her mom Jill, who helped bring her “warrior princess” fight to get back into ring shape for the Casino Gauntlet match to face a toxic champion in Thekla.
Willow gives the fans some advice, saying if she ever gets knocked around don’t you dare give up. She talks about what it means to fight, but is interrupted by the arrival of Mercedes Moné. She makes her way to the ring with her contract for the title match at All In, wrestling her way through the streamers in the ring.
Mercedes says she didn’t come out here for this silly celebration, telling the new champ to sign the contract for the All In match right now. Nightingale obliges as Renee confirms it’s been made official. Willow has some words for her challenger, asking why she’s this way.
Is it because for five seconds everyone didn’t give her the attention she wanted? Is it because Willow beat her to end Moné’s 584 day reign as TBS Champion? Or is it because Willow has the one title Moné just can’t seem to take? Mercedes talks about the fact Willow’s name has been written all over her story.
When Mercedes got injured and her career stopped, everyone celebrated Willow. When Mercedes was trying to get on her redemption path, everyone talked about Willow. Even now, all anyone seems to care about is Willow. The crowd is not having any of this promo from Moné, chanting “shut the f–k up” as she addresses how that makes her feel.
At All In she will NOT shut the hell up, but she will beat Willow Nightingale and all anyone will remember her for is the fact she was standing across the ring from Mercedes Moné. She and Willow start to trade some more verbal barbs until Divine Dominion come in, attacking the new champ until Brawling Birds come out for the save.
AEW Continental Championship
Jon Moxley (c) vs. Komander
Back to ringside we go, as Jon Moxley makes his usual custom ring entrance through the crowd for our next match, which features him defending his AEW Continental Championship against masked high-flying star Komander. The bell sounds to get things started.
Straight out of the gate, we see Mox circles the mat before locking up with Komander, wringing the arm of the luchador. Komander rolls through for a hold of his own, but the champ breaks free for a cover and a near-fall. Komander backs into the corner before Mox grabs a side headlock.
He ends up sending the challenger to the mat. The pair reset, which leads to a test of strength before Mox cinches in a side headlock. Komander breaks free and hits the ropes, only to be taken to the canvas with a shoulder tackle. He’s back up and catches Mox with a cradle off the ropes for a two count.
Kick to the face from the corner, and Komander follows up with an arm drag. Mox is already back up, however, and lands a hard kick to keep the luchador down. He sends Komander to the ropes, but takes a head-scissors sending him to the floor.
Komander climbs the nearest turnbuckle and walks the rope, only to drop down when Mox walks away…but the luchador gets the drop on him with a dive anyway. On that note, the show shifts gears and heads into a mid-match commercial break as the action continues. When the show returns, we see the match still in progress.
Mox has regained control of the match with a front facelock on the challenger, who fights back to his feet. Komander counters a suplex attempt for a cradle and a two count, only to be sent to the corner by the champ. Mox charges at the luchador, who dodges at the last second before taking Jon to the canvas with a dropkick.
A series of kicks from the challengers allows Komander to hit the ropes for a cross body of sorts, but it’s only good for another nearfall. Mox sends him to the corner, where Komander dodges him looking for another flurry of offense…but is laid out with a clothesline instead.
Mox brings him to the corner for some punches, and starts ripping at the mask of Komander as the ref admonishes him. Komander fights out of it, setting Mox up for a guillotine leg drop across the back. The impact sends Mox over the rope to the outside, while the challenger drops to the floor as well.
He uses the barricade to get back up and Mox tries to attack him here, only for Komander to dodge him and get back in the ring…where he catches Mox with a 450 splash as he comes into the ring, and this gets him a two count. Komander dodges a lariat attempt, landing a thrust kick that sends Mox out of the ring.
Komander climbs the turnbuckle and this time manages to walk the ropes for the Space Man, dropping down hard on the champ sending him to the floor. He brings him back to the ring before going for a shooting star rope walk…but Mox rolls out of the way, countering with a stomp. Mox with a bulldog choke for the win to retain.
Winner and STILL AEW Continental Champion: Jon Moxley

Backstage, Mick Foley stands by with the Bang Bang Gang. He notices a subdued attitude here, and the Gang address the fact Jay White isn’t here after what went down at Redemption, with Juice Robinson calling The Dogs out for a fight tomorrow night on Collision. The segment wraps up there.
AEW World Trios Championships
The Conglomeration (c) vs. The Demand
It’s main event (match) time!
The Conglomeration make their entrance first, followed by The Demand, with Bishop Kaun making a beeline for the ring to go after the champs! Cassidy gets sent out of the ring to be dealt with by Liona as Strong manages to send Ricochet out of the ring, and all six men go at it on the outside.
Strong and O’Reilly set up Ricochet for a diving strike by Cassidy, who gets from the top turnbuckle all the way down to the apron for the strike. Toa grabs a hold of him and brings him back in the ring, and as Orange admits that he’s good to go we get this main event underway.
Cassidy tries to fight back before putting his hands in his pockets…and Liona just hoists him up anyway, throwing him around. In comes Roddy, and tthe pair manage to keep GOA at bay until they get dropped to the mat. The Demand firmly take control of the match as they send O’Reilly to the outside and then drop Cassidy to the mat.
We head to a mid-match break. When we return, back in the ring, Strong fights back with a backbreaker on Ricochet before tagging in O’Reilly. In comes Kaun as well, but O-O-O-O’Reilly lands a hard kick to keep him down. He fends off Liona before sending Ricochet into the big man, turning his attention to Bishop for an ankle lock.
Kaun crawls to the ropes for a break, and Ricochet tags in for a big triple team into a standing shooting star press for a nearfall. Kyle fights back, dropping Ricochet hard before getting the tag to Cassidy. Orange climbs the turnbuckle but is intercepted by Ricochet.
The two fight it out until Cassidy digs his fingers into the head of Ricochet, forcing him to the mat. Bishop rushes in but is intercepted by Strong. Things break down as O’Reilly and Ricochet come in, but finally calm down when Kyle gets the tag in. He and Strong double-team Bishop leading to a high-low, but Ricochet breaks up the pin.
Toa gets the tag and levels O’Reilly and Strong, before Cassidy tries to lay him out with an Orange Punch. That doesn’t faze the big man, but a Stundog Millionaire keeps him down after all. Chaos ensues as the Lethal Twist take advantage of a ref distraction, while Ricochet gets the tag and hits the Spirit Gun on O’Reilly for the win.
Winners and NEW AEW World Trios Champions: The Demand
Kenny Omega Addresses AEW Redemption Actions & All In: London
It’s main event (segment) time!
The AEW World Champion, fresh off of his title defense over Kevin Knight and shocking heel actions towards Will Ospreay at this past Sunday’s AEW Redemption pay-per-view in Montreal, makes his way out for his advertising in-ring promo segment to close this week’s show.
Omega begins to address his actions at the end of AEW Redemption, however before he can, out comes his opponent for AEW All In: London and the man he sneak-attacked this past weekend, Will Ospreay, who makes his way directly to the ring without wasting time.
The AEW World Champion says he’s glad Ospreay is out here because what he has to say is personal and wants to be said directly to Will Ospreay. Since he’s out here though, let’s make this more fun. At Redemption, he showed Will how he felt about everything going on with the Death Riders.
Now it seems we move on to the tell part. Kenny says he cares about Ospreay, wanting the world for him. Remember when they made a promise to be the best, to become champions? Ten times out of ten, Kenny always put their friendship ahead of the belt, every single time.
Don’t you get why, Will? That’s the reason he let Ospreay enter the Owen Hart Cup, because he wants the best for him. What did he get in return? Will with his voice of disappointment, telling him how he hated that Omega “gave up” on himself. Will doesn’t know how much those words cut deep, but does it look like he gave up?
He asks this as he raises the World Title. Ospreay isn’t one to talk down to him before and he isn’t one to do so now. He asks Ospreay if he really felt like he needed to learn the harsh lesson. So, what’s his excuse now that it’s blown up in his face? Ospreay grabs a mic of his own.
Ospreay says the “excuse” he has is that he came back too early from surgery. The chance he had at revenge slipped through his fingers. In that moment, he had no one to turn to, not even his own hero. The only one he could turn to was the man who took his old life away.
In that moment he didn’t look at the guy who broke his neck, he looked at a former four time world champion he thought would take him to the top, to where he needed to be. He admits it even felt good to be a Death Rider. He enjoyed having boys to watch over his back, and he could even understand why they’re so protective of this place.
But that’s where it ends, because he couldn’t accept Jon Moxley’s methods of becoming a world champion. That’s why he did what he did, when he saw that chair wrapped around his neck. Omega interrupts and recounts not even having the energy to fight back, closing his eyes to accept his fate.
Then he could hear the cheers from the fans, and that made him realized Will was there to save the day…but then nothing else came. Kenny had to take the chair off himself, and when he looked at Ospreay he saw him with Kenny’s title in his hand, and a ripped plastic bag at his feet. That’s when he realized something.
The only reason Will took so long to save him was because he debated doing the deed himself. He calls Will out for what he thinks is Ospreay saving him from a trap he set himself, getting really riled up to the point of slapping Ospreay around asking if he’s acting shy now because he’s in front of a live TV camera.
This gets Ospreay mad as he shoves Kenny down, saying as much as he loves and respects Omega he will kick the s–t out of him if he keeps this up. He forces the champ out of the ring, with Omega retreating up the ramp as Ospreay addresses having his eye on being the best since he stepped foot in an AEW ring.
He talks about the difference between him and his home football team being that when it comes time to kick the penalty, he knows he can pull the trigger. He’s not gonna do it from behind, and he’s not gonna be like Jon Moxley. He wants this to be about the best versus the best, and he’s gonna pull that trigger when it matters most.
He says when he pulls that trigger, Omega is gonna see it coming. Ospreay’s music hits as the crowd cheer him on, and Kenny has a smugness about him as he raises his title on the stage. The matches scheduled for a special Thursday night Collision are announced as this week’s lengthy episode ends. Thanks for joining us!
