AEW DYNAMITE RESULTS – MARCH 18, 2026
Excalibur does his usual “It’s Wednesday” catchphrase to kick things off, before sending us into a recap video package of the unbelievably busy and eventful AEW Revolution 2026 pay-per-view from this past Sunday night (and Monday morning).
Will Ospreay vs. Blake Christian
Inside the arena we return live, where Tony Schiavone mentions a new season for AEW as the familiar sounds of Will Ospreay’s theme hits. “The Aerial Assassin” makes his way out for our opening contest, where he goes one-on-one against Blake Christian.
The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with this one. The commentators, meanwhile, mention that ‘Timeless’ Toni Storm has been injured as a result of the confrontation with Ronda Rousey and Marina Shafir. Mina Shirakawa will take her place tonight against Shafir.
Fans chant “Welcome back!” as Ospreay surveys the arena crowd before locking up with Christian. Ospreay knocks Christian out to the floor. He looks for a dive, but Christian moves and beheads Ospreay with a lariat on the floor. The commentators tell us not to count Christian out.
Back in the ring, Ospreay takes over again. He sends Christian out to the floor and then hits the ropes for a big diving splash. He claps five with some fans as a loud “Ospreay! Ospreay!” chant breaks out and spreads throughout the arena. Christian knocks Ospreay down after leaping off the apron.
Aa the action resumes in the ring, Christian continues to remain in control of the offense. This doesn’t last for long, however, as Ospreay escapes a choke/neck crank and immediately speeds up, hits the ropes and levels Christian for a close two-count.
Christian takes over yet again, and this time he connects with a beautiful 450 splash for a close two-count of his own. Ospreay fights back and regains control. He smiles real big in a cool close-up shot. He takes over and hits two Hidden Blades and scores the pin for the victory in his comeback performance.
Winner: Will Ospreay
Will Ospreay Calls Out Jon Moxley
He gets on the microphone afterwards. “I bloody missed all of you guys!” Fans chant “Welcome back!” again. He then directs his attention to one man. “Jon Moxley, the difference between me and you is I don’t need a weapon to snap someone’s neck. I can do it with my bare f**king hands.”
Ask and you shall receive. The theme for Jon Moxley hits and the lights in the building go down low. Mox emerges with one of The Death Riders through the crowd and gestures cleaning his ears. Ospreay doesn’t wait for him, instead hopping the guard rail and taking the fight to him and Wheeler Yuta.
The fight hits the ring, but PAC joins in the mix and helps take out Ospreay. He cranks on Ospreay’s neck, focusing his attack, in violent fashion, on Ospreay’s surgically repaired neck. A ton of security rush down to separate PAC and Ospreay.
Juice Robinson & Ace Austin vs. Jon Moxley & Wheeler Yuta
From there, The Bang Bang Gang’s music hits and out they come. As they are coming down, Ospreay jumps onto PAC and hits him with right hands. Both men fight to the back. Both teams with right hands. Juice goes for the cover on Yuta but Yuta kicks out.

In comes Yuta but Moxley with a knee followed by a death valley driver. Ace throws Moxley to the outside of the ring and he lands a splash. Yuta throws Ace into the ring steps. On that note, we shift gears and head into a mid-match commercial break as the action continues. When we return, Mox hits The Death Rider for the pin and win.
Winners: Jon Moxley & Wheeler Yuta
Gabe Kidd With A Pre-Coffin Match Message For Darby Allin
A video package airs to promote tonight’s Coffin Match showdown between Gabe Kidd and Darby Allin. When it wraps up, Kidd talks live backstage. He vows tonight will be the end of Darby. He tells him forget the ring. He wants to meet in the parking lot. We head to a break.
Kenny Omega Challenges Swerve Strickland
Kenny Omega is shown talking directly into the camera when the show returns. He addresses Swerve Strickland. He says they can get dangerous. He requests they play a game of risk. He tells him to put his number one contender status on the line. Winner gets the title shot. It’s not a risk if you’re the most dangerous man in AEW.
Coffin Match
Darby Allin vs. Gabe Kidd
From there, we shoot to the parking lot, where we see Gabe Kidd waiting. He sees a car pulling up and he talks trash to it. He quickly moves as the car speeds near him with intentions of hitting him. Out pops Darby. Kidd chokes Darby and yells “This is it!”
Darby fights back and takes over and beats him down near his car. He stuffs him in it and tells him it’s time to go for a ride. They speed off but quickly roll the car, flipping it and crashing it on its’ roof. We see Darby emerge from the upside down. He loads Kidd onto a cart and pushes it away. We cut to the commentators.
We see a generic ass, just built five minutes ago and not sanded or painted ‘coffin’ at ringside. From there, Darby is seen coming through the curtain with Kidd laid out on the giant cart. He pushes it down to ringside. Unlike Kurt Angle and Shane McMahon, it doesn’t get stuck on carpet along the way.

When the show returns, we see Prince Nana is in the ring. He introduces Swerve Strickland to the ring and out comes Swerve. Prince Nana places a chair and Swerve sits down. The lights dim with the spotlight on Swerve. He says power, at Revolution, he and Brody King went to war.
He says the only true winners of war are the ones with power. Swerve says he enjoyed beating Brody in his home state of California but he wasn’t satisfied because the power of AEW is elsewhere. Swerve says he dealt with power his entire life.
Truth be told, had it not been for the Young Bucks interfering in his match at Dynasty last year, he would be a two time Champion right now. Swerve says he is the new number one contender for the AEW Championship but what does being the number one contender mean if he doesn’t have the power to protect it.
He tells Omega that Omega does not have the leverage. He won’t beat him twice and get nothing out of it. He says Omega’s power interests him. He tells Omega he doesn’t want him removed from power, he wants his power.
And he wants to block out anyone else that thinks they can get it. He tells Omega if he wants the rematch, he has to offer up his EVP status. When he beats Omega, he will become AEW’s new executive vice president. The show moves on from there.

Adam Copeland & Christian Cage Make AEW Dynamite Return
From there, Cope’s music hits and out he comes. He looks and out comes Christian Cage. They get in the ring. Cope tells them that this is going to sound cliché but they respect them. That match against FTR is one of the best wrestling matches he ever saw and not to hang their heads.
Cope says he can relate because FTR didn’t just attack their family, they also attacked his wife. Cope says that Beth is a badass, she does not need him to protect her but over the last six months, as they waited to see if she needed spinal fusion surgery, he wasn’t able to look her in the eyes.
But now that she is safe, he had to return to AEW. He says he wants to take the AEW Tag Team Championships and while they respect the Young Bucks, they wanted them to hear it from them first. At Dynasty, it will be FTR against Cage and Cope for the AEW Tag Team Championships.
Cage says this is personal for the three of them but it is also personal for him. Because winning those Tag Team Championships means that he makes a ton of extra money. But also it is personal because they get a chance to prove that not only they are the best tag team of their generation but they get to prove they’re the best ever.
With that said, reigning champs FTR come out with Big Stoke. Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler Cash get in the ring but they are double superkicked and hit with a spear.
