AEW Dynamite is live tonight from the Canadian Life Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
The following are results of the April 1, 2026 show.
Chris Jericho Returns To Kick Off The Show
Things get started with a bang this week, as we hear the familiar sounds of “Judas in My Mind” to open up the show. Chris Jericho emerges and fans sing along as the pro wrestling legend makes his way to the ring, making his surprise return.
He settles in the ring to loud chants of “Jericho! Jericho!” He soaks in the moment. Fans chant “Welcome back!” and “Welcome home!” Jericho gets on the microphone and says, “Winnipeg … AEW, I am home!” His theme hit again as he mugged the camera and then played to the crowd again with a big smile on his face to wrap the brief segment up.
Will Ospreay Goes After The Death Riders
The commentators talk about Chris Jericho being back, but not for long, as they send us to the backstage area where something is going on in progress. We see Will Ospreay going after Jon Moxley. Wheeler Yuta tries to break things up only to be sent into some kegs, before security arrives to put a stop to things here. They pull him away.
AEW Dynasty: MJF vs. Kenny Omega Contract Signing
Back inside the arena, AEW World Champion MJF makes his entrance to get the AEW Dynasty 2026 main event contract signing for his title defense against Kenny Omega underway. Out next is his challenger, Mr. Omega himself. The two take their respective seats to start things off.
Omega interrupts MJF as he tries to talk. He runs him down for always having something to say. Omega says he’s got something to say. He talks about how MJF thinks he’s the reason everyone comes to AEW. He says he’s not. He says he tried to convince Tony Khan that, and even him, but he knows fans are here to see everyone.
MJF then gets his turn on the microphone and laughs at Omega claiming to be at one hundred percent. He says he talked to doctors who saw Omega and knows something Omega hasn’t told anyone. He said his diverticulitis is worse than ever and could explode at any moment.
He then flips the table and punks Omega, trying to get him to hit him so that the match will be off. Omega does not. MJF tries taunting him verbally, but ‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey hits the ring and yanks the mic out of MJF’s hand. A match is made for tonight with ‘American Hero’ MJF vs. ‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey.
Jack Perry, Brody King & Kenny Omega vs. Ricochet, Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona
We continue to fly through this show, as we go from the contract signing segment starting, being interrupted by Chris Jericho, shooting to Ospreay and the Death Riders fighting backstage, straight into the contract signing, which evolves to Bailey-MJF announcement, straight into entrances for our opening match.
It will be AEW National Champion Jack Perry, Brody King and Kenny Omega taking on The Demand trio of Ricochet, Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona in trios action. We head to a quick 90-second pre-match commercial break as The Demand finish up their ring entrance.
When the show returns, Perry makes his way out. Already out there in the ring with him is Omega from earlier. Brody King came out during the break. The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with this one. Omega and Kaun kick things off for their respective teams at the onset.
