Will Ospreay vs. Jon Moxley Announced for AEW Dynasty 2026
Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite show also featured the first of two new matches announced for the card of Dynasty 2026.
This new match was a singles match of Will Ospreay vs. Jon Moxley.

During tonight’s show, Ospreay was seen backstage and talked about his issues with PAC and challenged him to a match at next week’s show in Winnipeg. Ospreay then turned his attention towards Moxley and talked about how Moxley put him on the shelf for a long while and how he used that time to bond with his son. Ospreay then promised to do the same to Moxley and issued a challenge to him for a match at Dynasty.
“I want you at Dynasty, motherf***er!”

Omega talked about MJF calling himself the “devil” and revealed that he is back to full power so it might be time for him to call himself a “god” to deal with MJF and win back the AEW World title.
The @KennyOmegamanX that @The_MJF faced in 2023 is not the Kenny Omega standing in the ring with MJF today!
