AEW DYNAMITE RESULTS – MARCH 25, 2026
The show gets started and we waste zero time getting right down to business with our high stakes opening contest of the evening.
No. 1 Contender vs. AEW EVP
Swerve Strickland vs. Kenny Omega
Inside the arena, Kenny Omega makes his way out and heads to the ring to a big pop from the St. Paul crowd. Renee Paquette does her Megan Olivi from the UFC impression as “The Cleaner” settles inside the squared circle. Swerve Strickland is out next.
The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with this one. The two lock up until Nana distracts Kenny, allowing Swerve to sneak some shots in against the ropes. Strickland sends Omega into the ropes before landing a boot to the face, following up with a few more shots.
He then hits the ropes, but runs into a hurricanrana from Omega. This sends Swerve out to the floor. Omega follows up with a big dive. Omega begins fighting back, and sends Swerve to the announce table and then the ring steps. Swerve starts to fight back but is sent to the barricade for a set of chops by Omega.
He then sets him up on a chair before charging at him for a knee strike. The momentum is cut off by Strickland, however, as he counters into a few shots of his own before sending Omega back into the ring. He attacks the jaw of Omega, until Kenny fights back. The two trade strikes.
Omega is sent to the corner, but he charges at Strickland and takes him down with authority. He goes for the cover, but only gets two for his efforts. He hoists Swerve up, dropping him to the mat before landing a moonsault, but this only gets another two count.
Omega remains in control here as Strickland heads to the ropes for leverage, dodging a V-Trigger before landing a suplex. The two go back to trading shots at each other, with Omega sending Swerve to the corner with a knee strike, and following up with a V-Trigger.
The crowd is coming to life in the background, as he brings Swerve up onto the top turnbuckle, setting up for an avalanche One-Winged Angel, but Swerve escapes. He fights it out with Kenny on the turnbuckle, sending the Omega down with an avalanche back suplex.
As both guys are down and recovering, the show shifts gears and heads into a mid-match commercial break as this high stakes opening contest continues. The break wasn’t long, at all, as the two are just now recovering and starting to fight again as we return live.
We see the two fight their way to the ropes, where Omega is setting up for a snap dragon suplex on the apron. Swerve starts pulling at the ref’s shirt, using the distraction for a sneaky low blow on Omega. The crowd boo this, but Strickland pays little mind as he brings Kenny to the barricade.
Kenny stops him from a piledriver attempt as the two fall off, but Swerve quickly resets, landing the piledriver sending Omega headfirst onto the barricade. The ref checks on Omega as Swerve brings him back into the ring, landing a powerbomb for a pin attempt that reaches two before Omega kicks out.
Omega counters Big Pressure for a near fall of his own, only to take a House Call before Strickland lands a Swerve Stomp on Kenny’s back. Omega is down on the mat, allowing for a second Swerve Stomp from the top as Strickland makes the cover. Kenny kicks out.
Swerve looks for a House Call. Swerve brings Kenny to his feet, only to be sent to the corner by Omega for a series of back elbows. Strickland comes out of the corner as Kenny lands right hands, shoving Omega back before taking a kick. Strickland with a power slam for a two count.
From there, Omega uses the ropes to get to his feet as Swerve mocks him, as if going for a V-Trigger, only to take a knee from Omega that sets up for a V-Trigger that hits. He hoists Swerve up for a One-Winged Angel, but Swerve counters.
Omega then counters out of a Vertebreaker for a knee, but Strickland attacks his eyes to stop a One-Winged Angel. Vertebreaker by Swerve and the cover for two. Swerve looks for the Swerve Stomp, but eats a knee from Omega instead. Omega hits a V-Trigger and a One-Winged Angel for the win to become No. 1 Contender. We head to a break.
Winner and NEW No. 1 Contender to the AEW Championship: Kenny Omega
Will Ospreay Challenges PAC & Jon Moxley
Some hype for Darby Allin’s match is shown, along with a video featuring Will Ospreay hyping tickets for AEW All In: London at Wembley Stadium. A vignette then airs featuring Ospreay, who calls out PAC for a match in Winnipeg, before addressing Jon Moxley.
Ospreay says he put Will in ‘time out’, referring to the injury keeping him out of action. He talks about spending time with his son and seeing the fear on his face, as well as the reaction his fellow countrymen and family had to his neck being snapped. He then tells Mox he wants a match at AEW Dynasty.
Death Riders vs. SkyFlight & Zayda Steel
It’s time for our second match of the evening, as we return live inside the arena to The Death Riders making their usual custom ring entrance through the crowd. This will be mixed trios action, with Jon Moxley, Daniel Garcia and Marina Shafir teaming up.
Out come their opponents, the near-hometown fan-favorites, Top Flight and Zayda Steel, SkyFlight. We see The Death Riders attack SkyFlight just as the bell rings, taking the fight to the outside leaving Shafir and Steel in the ring to start things officially.
Mox and Garcia regroup to their corner as Steel fights off Marina for a head-scissors. Shafir in the corner as Zayda goes for a running knee strike, but Shafir fights her off with some shots before Steel drops her with a head-scissors off the turnbuckle.
We see tags made to Garcia and Darius, who exchange holds before Daniel lands a chop sending Martin to the corner. Darius fights out of the corner, taking Garcia down for a one count. Daniel goes after the jaw before tagging in Moxley, who stomps away at Darius in the corner.
The ref intervenes to force Mox to back away, but not for long as Mox goes right back at it, until Darius fights back, sending him to the SkyFlight tag for a tag to Dante. Top Flight take Mox to the outside, sending Garcia away as well.
All three Riders are met with a triple dives by SkyFlight. On that note, the show shifts gears and settles into a mid-match commercial break as the action continues in this mixed trios contest. When the show returns, we see Garcia is in control as he brings Dante to his feet, sending him to the ropes to drop him hard for a two count.
The tag is made to Mox now, who lands some hard chops on Dante, who escapes a back suplex for a dropkick. Garcia rushes to the opposite corner, keeping Darius off the apron as Shafir jumps in to go after Dante, who lands an enziguri.
Zayda and Shafir are each tagged in. Steel sends her to the corner for a knee strike. Marina fights back as she rolls through on a slam, but Zayda lands some shots of her own. She goes to the ropes, but is nearly tripped up by Yuta, and this allows Marina to land a hard kick on Steel.
Mox tags in, looking for a double-team on Zayda, but she sends Marina running right into Jon’s nether region. Things start to break down as Yuta tries to get involved again while Darius tags in, only to focus on taking out Christopher Daniels out with a Busaiku Knee.
He then takes a dive from Zayda Steel. Back in the ring we see Garcia going after Darius with the Dragon-slayer…followed by a stomp by Mox that allows Daniel to get the win.
Winners: The Death Riders
Jon Moxley Accepts Will Ospreay’s Challenge
Death Riders celebrate before Mox gets a microphone. He tells Will Ospreay it’s not nice to say mean things about people on TV. He goes on to say that whatever Will has with Mox is nothing personal, but if he wants a big fat grudge match at AEW Dynasty, he’s got it.
Until then, don’t let your mouth get you in trouble. With that, the match is now official for the upcoming pay-per-view. The AEW Continental Championship will not be on-the-line. Gee, wonder who is winning that one? He can win, but the title doesn’t change? We’ll see soon enough.
2026 Will Be The Year Of The Young Bucks
Now we see a video package on The Young Bucks, who reflect on their loss at AEW Revolution before bouncing back with a win on AEW Dynamite last week. They promise 2026 will be the year of The Young Bucks and vow to recapture the titles.
‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey vs. Rocky Romero
Back inside the arena, we head back down to the ring for our next match of the evening. This time out we’ve got singles action in the men’s division, as “Speedball” Mike Bailey goes one-on-one with Rocky Romero. Bailey makes his way to the ring.
Romero is already in the ring. The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with this one. Romero quickly fends off Speedball at the start, presumably seeking revenge for not getting a proper entrance as he lays some shots into the trios champion.
Bailey fights back, sending Azucar to the outside with some kicks. He brings Rocky back into the ring, but Romero seeks a rope break when Speedball looks for some kicks. He sends Bailey to the outside before celebrating, which proves futile when Bailey comes back in for a roundhouse kick.
Romero is sent to the corner, where Bailey sets up for the shooting star knee drop onto Rocky, covering him for the pin and the win. Bailey celebrates. We see a video package for Hangman Page and MJF and then the show heads into another commercial break.
Winner: ‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey
MJF And Kenny Omega Collision Course Begins
When the show returns, we hear the familiar sounds of MJF’s theme music. Out comes the reigning AEW World Champion Maxwell Jacob Friedman for the first time since his bloody, violent victory over Hangman Page in the Texas Death Match at AEW Revolution.
He begins. Ladies and gentlemen, and he uses that loosely since we’re in Minnesota, MJF has the mic and that means it’s time to sit down and be quiet. You’re not only looking at the World Champion but the man who hanged the Hangman.
Thanks to MJF, the cowboy can no longer ever again challenge for the AEW World Title. MJF says Page didn’t put up much of a fight, before wanting to talk about the “facts.” He still holds the championship that every single man on this planet can only dream of holding.
He is still at the mountaintop, and there is no one who deserves it more than MJF. He’ll tell us why, and it’s because he’s MJF and he’s better than you and you know it. He’s earned a double catchphrase, saying nobody is on the level of the devil.
Someone who disagrees comes out, as Kenny Omega clearly has something to say about that. The new No. 1 Contender makes his way down the ramp. Omega steps through the ropes, mouthing off with the champion as the crowd chants his name.
On the broadcast, MJF can be heard asking Omega if he can help him, and Kenny gets a microphone from ringside. He says excuse how he’s dressed and smells, he’s just had a match…what’s MJF’s excuse? He runs down the champ for being so smug and calling himself the devil, before running down his own list of nicknames.
Those include The Cleaner, the Best Bout Machine, the God of Pro Wrestling. Even at the height of his own evilness, he never called himself a god…but if MJF’s going to be the devil, Kenny is willing to call himself god. Every evil force has to contend with a force of good.
He talks about pushing himself to the limit and not listening to his body, taking some ownership for why MJF could beat a 60 to 80 percent Kenny Omega. But now that he’s back? Ooh boy. He talks about not beating Swerve the first time.
He says it’s not about what happens in the ring but also around it and beyond, suggesting he will not put up with any B.S. hijinks from the champ. He goes on to say that MJF knows who the better man is, but offers a handshake as he suggests they go at it for the title at AEW Dynasty.
MJF mocks him by refusing the handshake, leaving the ring as Omega does his kiss and bang catchphrase to wrap up the intense promo battle.
Cope & Cage And FTR Saga Continues
Backstage, we see Cope and Cage. First up, Christian addresses what FTR did to them as of late. He walks off after referring to them hitting a spike piledriver, and Cope calls him an assh*le for that before addressing the tag champs himself. He talks about Dax Harwood approaching him at a Gold’s Gym all those years ago.
He’s now throwing all that history away. Copeland understands, he’s the ultimate opportunist, but going after Beth was something else entirely. He talks about teaming with Cage to take the titles away from FTR, but Copeland will do one better by seeking them out to end their careers.
Back inside the arena, FTR make their way out. Stoke says we shouldn’t care what Adam Copeland and Christian Cage have to say, but we should care what the three-time tag champs have to say. “So, give it up for FTR!” Cash Wheeleer talks about “dumping the dead weight” of Copeland.
He refused to help carry him to the end of his career. Because of their own effort they are the champs, and they take a backseat to no one. Wheeler talks about being taken under Adam’s wing in 2009, but this is not 2009 anymore. He’s got his family right here with Dax and Stoke.
Adam’s time is gone, this is FTR’s time now. They’re living legends. Dax takes the mic to call Copeland a nostalgia act. What they did to Beth made Copeland question himself, and they don’t have an answer for that, but if they’re willing to drop Adam’s wife on her head, what are they willing to do to Copeland himself? “Top guys, out.”
The Conglomeration vs. The Dogs
On that note, FTR’s music hits. As they go to leave, Orange Cassidy’s music brings him and Roderick Strong out. FTR bump into Cassidy with Stoke being shoved away by Orange, leading to a near-scuffle on the ramp before Cassidy and Strong finally head to the ring for our next match.
They will be taking on The Dogs duo of David Finlay and Clark Connors in tag-team action. And that match is up next. After Finlay and Connors make their way out, the bell sounds to get this one officially off-and-running. Cassidy and Finlay start things off for their respective teams at the onset.
This doesn’t last long, however, as Strong is quick to get a tag in as he exchanges strikes with Finlay. David takes control, making the tag to Connors before Cassidy gets a tag of his own to go after The Dogs. He catches them with a cross body.
This forces them to the outside for a dive, but Finlay sends him into the barricade before Connors drops him to the floor. Strong is also sent down hard. As The Conglomeration is down and out and The Dogs settle into their first prolonged offensive lead in the bout, we head into a mid-match break.
