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.

PAC vs. Will Ospreay
PAC attacks Ospreay during his entrance and he hits him with a brain buster on the apron! The refs check on Ospreay as PAC heads back to the ring. Ospreay gets to his feet, and he starts towards the ring. The doctor keeps telling him that he wants to go, but he doesn’t want him to go. Ospreay is like bugger off and he slides into the ring. Paul Turner checks with him before he rings the bell.
And it seems like the bell turned PAC into a real MADMAN as he stomps Ospreay all over the ring before arguing with Turner. Scoop slam and a knee drop to Ospreay, but Will kicks out at one. PAC sizes up Ospreay as we head out for the break.

PAC has his foot on the neck of Ospreay as we return. Will gets to his feet and he starts a forearm battle with PAC. Maybe not the smartest thing to do. PAC with a spinning kick to the gut and he hits a bridging German for a two.

He transitions right into the Styles Clash and he rolls PAC over, but he kicks out at two yet again. Ospreay makes his way to the top, but he takes too long, allowing PAC to sweep out the legs.

Claudio sets the chair around the neck of Ospreay, and he goes to stomp on the chair, but Jon stops him. Moxley says you are okay. There are six of them and one of you, how did you think this was going to go? Did Jon put him here, or did Will put himself here? He is going to give him a good piece of advice; next time, use your head, or you might lose it permanently. This isn’t personal for me, Will, don’t make it personal. We head to another commercial break after this.
Winner: Will Ospreay

Tommaso Ciampa To Compete On Thursday Night Collision
In a bit of in-house promotion for this week’s special Thursday night live episode of AEW Collision, we learn that “The Psycho Killer” Tomasso Ciampa and Juice Robinson will have a match on the April 2 episode.
Darby Allin Gets Confronted By The Don Callis Family
Now it’s time to hear from Darby Allin. He said he is going to hold the throttle until he either sees God or the AEW World Title. And he hasn’t seen God yet, so he wants to see the Devil tonight. Why are we playing games with the Don Callis Family? He doesn’t care who wins between Omega and MJF, he just wants to put an end to “his condescending bullshi*! So, get out here, Max!”
Instead, here comes the Don Callis Family. Don says that MJF is paying his family a lot of money, and he has a message for him. He says that if Darby can defeat his handpicked Don Callis Family member at AEW Dynasty, then when MJF is done destroying Kenny Omega, then he will give Darby his title shot. And Callis and MJF agree on a lot, and they both agree that the perfect opponent for Allin at Dynasty is Andrade.
Andrade acts surprised, and Callis sends Lance Archer, Hechicero, and El Clon to the ring. But Jack Perry and Brody King are here to even the odds. Perry and King have a stare down with Allin, but Kenny Omega is here! Allin leaves the ring, says something to Omega, and leaves up the ramp, as Omega slaps hands with the fans at ringside. We head to another commercial break on that note.
AEW World Championship Eliminator
‘American Hero’ MJF (c) vs. ‘Speedball’
It’s main event time!
“The American Hero” himself, AEW World Champion MJF makes his way out with an over-the-top American look. Kenny Omega is on commentary for this match. ‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey comes out with the Canadian flag and a red and white Karate Gi.
Before things can get officially started, MJF attacks before the bell, and Bryce Remsburg pulls MJF away and checks on Bailey. Mike is good to go, and the bell rings officially. Bailey peppers MJF with forearms and looks for Time and Adventure, but MJF pulls Bryce in front to avoid contact. He gouges the eyes of Bailey and throws Mike out of the ring. MJF throws Bailey into the ring steps and taunts “The Cleaner.”
Meanwhile, back inside the ring, MJF grounds Bailey with side headlock. Bailey to his feet, but MJF takes him back down and he mocks the Pledge of Allegiance lol. MJF tries to whip Bailey, but he chops his arm instead and turns his back. Bailey fires back with some offense, but MJF catches him out with a powerbomb over the knee, which gets him a two. MJF mocks Bailey’s poses, but MJF sweeps the leg.
We see Bailey with some strikes, but MJF with a well-timed thumb to the eye. He keeps running into the feet of Bailey though, like he was a magnet and Bailey was the fridge. Kick to the head, kick to the back, and a running SSP from Bailey gets a two. Bailey kicks MJF out of the ring and to the floor, allowing Bailey to hit the corner and he takes out MJF on the floor with the moonsault with authority.
From there, MJF is returned to the ring, and Bailey scores with a springboard missile dropkick. Bailey to the apron and to the top again looking for the Ultimo Weapon, but MJF channels his inner Orange Cassidy and slowly rolls away. He catches Bailey with a guillotine over the top. Bailey with a backslide and an inside cradle, both for a two. A trap sunset flip also gets him a two. MJF connects with some offense, but he runs into a Spanish Fly for a two-count.
Bailey crawls out to the apron. MJF follows in, but Bailey with whiplash to Max. Bailey jumps right into a Liger Bomb from MJF for a two. Bailey again ends up on the apron, as MJF chokes him against the middle rope. MJF with a dropkick to the knee of the Bailey, sending him to the floor. MJF mocks Bailey’s poses and flips off Omega at ring side. MJF catches Bailey on his way back in with a Heat Seeker, but Bailey throws him off. MJF thinks he is safe sliding out of the ring, but Mike hits him with a moonsault.
On that note, we shift gears and head into a mid-match commercial break, likely our final of the evening. When the show returns, we see that Bailey is on the top rope, but MJF hits the ropes, causing Bailey to crash to the apron as we return. MJF heads to the apron looking for a piledriver, but Bailey breaks the grip and hits the moonsault double knees. Back in the ring, and Bailey loads up the Ultimo Weapon, but MJF moves.
He can’t escape the Snap Dragon, though. MJF ducks two kicks from Bailey but third time is the charm! Same goes for the Ultimo Weapon, as Bailey finally hits it. The cover, but MJF is too close to the ropes. Bailey sets MJF on the top rope, but MJF again gouges the eyes of Speedball to get free. MJF runs into Bailey, but Mike trips him up. He misses another moonsault knee drop, and MJF connects with a Tombstone Piledriver on the apron.
After that, it’s elementary, as the AEW World Champion and your ‘American Hero’ finishes things off with his finisher, connecting with The Heat Seeker for the pin fall victory. Once the match wraps up, MJF continues to beat down Bailey, bringing Omega to the ring to make the save. MJF flees the scene. Officials and medical staff check on Bailey. Omega helps Bailey up. That’s how the show wraps up. Thanks for joining us!
Winner: MJF
