AEW Dynamite Results, Winners, Live Grades, Reaction, Highlights Before All In 2026

Welcome to Bleacher Report's live coverage and grades before the final AEW Dynamite before All In on August 26.

The show featured the final two matches on the ongoing Continental Cup Challenge, with the winners facing off this weekend at the PPV.

We heard from lots of Superstars before their matches this weekend, including Will Ospreay, Willow Nightingale, MJF and Andrade El Idolo.

Let's take a look at what happened on the go-home episode of Dynamite before All In.

The Billy Goat Speaks

Dynamite kicked off with Will Ospreay heading to the ring to talk about his upcoming world title bout against Kenny Omega at All In on Sunday.

He talked a bit about his journey from needing neck surgery to fighting for the most important title in AEW at Wembley Stadium. He also talked about cutting his teeth in the business in the U.K.

He said nobody respects Kenny Omega more than he does, but it all went out the window the moment Kenny mentioned Will's son in their exchanges.

The promo ended without anyone interrupting him, which was probably the right call. This segment was under 10 minutes and accomplished its goal. It was simple by design.

Grade: B

Notable Moments and Observations

• The British crowd gave Ospreay a very warm welcome, which was to be expected in his home country.
• It's going to be very interesting to see how the English crowd reacts to Omega on Sunday. AEW has been trying to make him feel more like the villain of this story, but it hasn't been working.
