AEW Dynamite is live from the Viejas Arena in San Diego, CA. Our commentary team is Excalibur, Tony Schiavone, and Nigel McGuinness.
We start with footage after Forbidden Door recorded with Renee Paquette who is with Will Ospreay and his wife Alex Windsor. They are interrupted by Jon Moxley, who checks in with him and Will then asks what Mox meant when he said is starting to see it in Will. Mox says he meant that he who defines himself can never know who he really is. If he wants to know who he is, he has to live it. Mox says AEW could be something great. The business is full of carnies and thieves and it’s up to them to protect this place.
Mox then says they took a vote on it, and they are offering him membership in the Death Riders.
Will then sees Kenny Omega, who tells him what he did was next level. Will says he sees Kenny looking at the Death Riders insignia, and just because Kenny has given up on himself doesn’t mean he has given up on his dream. MJF then says he will see Will at Wembly, Bruv.
Kenny says he will always be Will’s friend and he will always care.

Winner and still AEW World Champion: MJF
MJF charges into Mark with the Dynamite Diamond after the match and then chases off the medical staff. As he sets to nail Mark again, Kenny Omega comes to the ring to chase MJF off.
Omega grabs a mic and says if he cheated his way through Briscoe, he would be knocking down MJF’s door. Omega says if MJF has enough energy to attack Mark, maybe he’s got enough energy for another match. MJF then heels California, Mark, and tells Omega he will not wrestle again. He also says Omega is stupid if he thinks he should get another shot since he has beaten Omega twice and kicked out of the One Winged Angel.
MJF then says he had a big idea, he will wrestle Omega next week, and if MJF wins, Omega can never be able to become AEW Champion again, just like Hangman Adam Page.
Renee is in the back with MJF, and he says that payback is coming to Andrade El Idolo. He then says he is ready to face Kenny Omega next week as he goes over the list of the people he has beaten. He says Omega is zero and two against Big Hebrew, and the best wrestler in the world is MJF. AND Omega will not agree to the match because he is gutless. Will Ospreay asks why the stipulation.
MJF says it is because he is the champion and he will see Will’s pale behind in Wembley.
Tony Schiavone is in the ring to talk to Andrade El Idolo. Andrade says he is done with the Don Callis Family; it’s time to take out MJF and become the new AEW World Champion. He gets out his “How you know” catchphrase before the Don Callis Family comes from the back to attack. Brian Cage hits a drill claw on Andrade in the middle of the ring.
Don Callis has a mic and tells us this is how you know. He then says they need to get this turncoat out of his sight because Kevin Knight has a match to win.
We get a promo from Mercedes Mone on the beach, and she reminds us no one is on her level and she always raises the standard. She says at All IN London it’s the last piece of what is already hers.

If Knight says no, what happened at Forbidden Door will keep happening. Knight started it, and how will Knight finish it? Knight says he is sick of dealing with Darby, and Callis takes the mic away from Knight. Callis says Darby was a great wrestler and a great champion, but at Forbidden Door, he crossed the line from wrestler to criminal, so he will never get a match with Knight as long as he has something to say about it.
Darby has a smile on his face and says Knight has dug his grave. Don rants at Darby as Darby leaves.
We get a video update on the feud between Chris Jericho and Tommaso Ciampa. We then get Ciampa with Renee, but Jericho attacks him, and they brawl to the outside. Security tries to break them up, but Ciampa attacks the security people and grabs a drill. They fight some more until they are pulled apart.
Renee talks with The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega, and they say they are discussing if Kenny should accept the stipulation. He says when he was champion, he needed help and he had to go to a dark place, and he didn’t like himself, so if he does it this time, he has to do it alone.
Will Ospreay and Jon Moxley vs the Already in the Ring Lee Johnson and Blake Christian

Her says when he left, people wanted to escape the Death Riders, and now they like them, and they are running with the biggest fraud in the industry, Will Ospreay.
He then puts over his team. He says he sees someone left the Dogs out. He says he has a long history with David Finlay Jr. and David is a naturally gifted and talented wrestler. However, it doesn’t change the fact that David is a nepo baby bitch boy. The crowd chants Nepo Baby and Jay tells them to wait until David is out there to chant him. He says the stench of David’s arrogance has been here far too long, and he will get rid of that smell.
Jay puts himself over, and says Sunday was the beginning and this is the Switchblade era.
Next is a promo from Shane Taylor, and he says they are a new gang that runs Collision and they challenge the Bang Bang Gang for a match on Collision.

Excalibur runs down the card for tomorrow night’s episode of Collision. As Kenny is on his way to the ring, Ospreay tries to talk him out of facing MJF. Omega says if he is going out, he is going out guns blazing. They hug, and Omega makes his way to the ring. Omega says he has been doing this for 30 years, and every time he gets in the ring, he gives everything he has. He then says he could call it a career, but there is a part of him that thinks he still has something left in the tank. But if everyone can believe just one more time, he can be a champion everyone can be proud of.
He can stand in Wembley Stadium and face Will Ospreay, but if he loses, he becomes just another man who cannot challenge for the belt again. He says the cost is not too high. He asks if MJF wants him to put everything on the line; there is a possibility he is still the best bout machine, the cleaner, the God of Professional Wrestling.
He says having one more chance to beat the brakes off of him it get the blood flowing, so he will face MJF next week.
MJF attacks him from behind and starts beating him down with the Dynamite Diamond. Omega is able to turn it around, and they have a pull-apart brawl.
