AEW DYNAMITE RESULTS – JANUARY 21, 2026
“It’s Wednesday, and you know what that means …” are the first words we hear from Excalibur, as always, as this week’s AEW Dynamite kicks off live inside the Addition Financial Arena in Orlando, Florida. He welcomes back his broadcast partner “The Human Suplex Machine” Taz.
MJF, Brody King Open Up The Show
Inside the ring is the third man on the broadcast team, Tony Schiavone. He introduces his guest at this time, the reigning AEW World Champion MJF. MJF tells Schiavone to shut up and hold the microphone up to his mouth. He then gloats about having the hottest chick and shows off his expensive Triple B title belt.
MJF brags about beating Bandido last week and claims he is the first of many losers this year, because he’s going to prove 2026 is his year and that there ain’t nobody on his level. As he finishes up, the theme for Brody King plays and out comes Bandido’s friend and tag-team partner to confront MJF.
He talks about not stooping to what MJF is, and that is a little b*tch. This gets a chant in response as Brody talks about not putting his hands on MJF because it would cost him what he really wants, which is a shot at MJF and the title right now, tonight. MJF cowers away, but only because he’s busy.
Samoa Joe vs. “Speedball” Mike Bailey
Backstage, Renee Paquette is standing by with AEW Trios Champions Hangman Page and JetSpeed. They joke about potential names for their team. Hangman Page announces a match against Katsuyori Shibata on this week’s AEW Collision.
He gives “Speedball” Mike Bailey a pep talk before his match coming up against Samoa Joe. They walk off. Back inside the arena, Samoa Joe’s theme hits and out he comes. He settles inside the the ring and his music dies down. The theme for his opponent plays and out comes Bailey.
The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with this one. We see some early back-and-forth action and then things spill out to the floor at ringside. We see, and hear, Joe blast Bailey with a chop that turns him inside-out as the crowd “ooh’s” and “ahh’s.”
Bailey fights back with a big kick that catches Joe off-guard after he grabs a steel chair. Bailey follows up with a big high spot that pops the crowd. As he and Joe return to the ring, Bailey is distracted by members of The Opps showing up at ringside.
Joe knocks Bailey down and out to the floor, where The Opps continue to attack Bailey. They ram his shoulder into the hard ring apron and then rolls him back into the ring, where Joe begins to go to work on him again. On that note, the show heads into a mid-match commercial break as the action continues.
When the show returns, we see Joe is still in control until Speedball dodges him in the corner, landing a dropkick for a two count. Joe fights back but is met with another kick as Bailey heads up top for a shooting star press, but only gets two. Shibata attacks Bailey behind the ref’s back. This happens again and Joe gets the win. We head to a break.
Winner: Samoa Joe
Street Fight
Death Riders vs. Don Callis Family
The show returns from the break and we head down to ringside where the entrances begin for our next match of the evening, a trios street fight. The Death Riders enter through the crowd. Hechicero, Lance Archer, and Rocky Romero make their way out, only for the Riders to go after them to get this Street Fight underway.
It doesn’t take long for the fight to spill into the crowd, a split screen showing that Garcia is laying into Hechicero as Mox faces off with Archer. Yuta gets taken down by Romero who gets after Garcia to no avail as we see Mox and Archer back in the ring.
The Murderhawk Monster takes a series of punches in the corner from Mox as Yuta and Garcia join him in the attack. Archer starts to fight back, only to be sent over the top rope to the outside. Yuta follows him to the outside, but takes a chokeslam by Archer sending him through the timekeeper table.
Mox blindsides Archer, but is sent to the barricade as the Family take control. On that note, we shift gears and head into a mid-match commercial break as the action continues. When the show returns, we see The Don Callis Family dominating the action with a trash can inside the ring.
