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

Coming off an unforgettable All In, All Elite Wrestling headed to the Credit Union of Texas Event Center in Allen, Texas for an important Dynamite on September 2.

Will Ospreay opened the show to speak on his win over Kenny Omega to capture the AEW World Championship.

Mercedes Moné celebrated her own AEW Women's World Championship victory. The new World trios champions went right to work as the newly signed New Level teamed with Swerve Strickland against The Rascalz.

This was only the beginning of a night that looked to keep the hype going after the biggest night of the AEW year. Check out all the results, winners, highlights and live grades for Dynamite below.

Will Ospreay Receives a Challenge from Ricochet and a Threat from Gabe Kidd

All Elite Wrestling

Will Ospreay

Will Ospreay arrived in a long-sleeved half-button shirt with the AEW World Championship around his waist and a noticeable cut on his forehead.

After talking about his emotions after the last week, he told Kenny Omega he would fight him again to settle their 2-2 score whenever The Cleaner was ready.

He put over the idols he has matched by winning the world title, and he promised to live up to "the best in the world" title. He challenged the roster to go through the fire he did to meet him for the gold.

After The Aerial Assassin announced he was bringing a new United Empire to AEW, The Demand arrived. Ricochet took credit for making Ospreay then asked for the first world title shot.

Gabe Kidd arrived with Clark Connors to threaten The Aerial Assassin. Callum Newman, Francesco Akira and Henare arrived to back up Ospreay. The champion challenged the heels to a match later in the night.

This was a fun segment that could have been tightened up by a few minutes. Ospreay was enjoying the moment understandably, but Ricochet and Kidd rambled a bit long in their threats to Ospreay.

With so few matches announced for Dynamite, it was not surprising that AEW set up an unannounced match for later in the night.

Beyond the excitement of eventually seeing Ospreay and Ricochet run it back again, the biggest story coming out of this is Ospreay building a "new" United Empire while letting his boys run in NJPW under the same name.

Who could The Aerial Assassin bring together for a new stable? That is entirely unclear for now.

Grade

C+

Notable Moments and Observations

• The show started with a dramatic video package highlighting the major events of All In.
• The crowd was ready to welcome Ospreay immediately after the video and was singing and chanting for the champion throughout his promo.
• Kidd was specifically annoyed that Ospreay took his chance to be the first British AEW world and IWGP world heavyweight champion.

World Trios Championships: Swerve Strickland and The New Level (c) vs. The Rascalz

All Elite Wrestling

Swerve Strickland and The New Level vs. The Rascalz

Last Time in Action: Austin Creed and Kofi debuted as teammates to Swerve Strickland, winning the World Trios Championships in a Roulette Royale; Desmond Xavier, Zachary Wentz and Myron Reed alongside Lio Rush defeated The Opps (All In, August 30).

While Swerve started confident, he was quickly overwhelmed by the synergy of The Rascalz.

An Assisted Triple Dropkick sent Swerve to the floor while Creed helped turn the tide before Kofi dived onto the field to gain control into the commercial break.

The New Level showed off their tag team synergy out of the break, but a fresh Xavier tagged in to step up the pace.

He assisted Wentz with Hot Fire Flame for the near-fall. Myron then cut off an attempted comeback with a Jumping Cutter to the floor on Creed into a Headscissors Takedown on Swerve.

The Rascalz looked poised to take it, but Swerve caught Xavier mid-handspring with a House Call. New Level then hit a combination Double Foot Stomp/Big Ending into another House Call for the victory.

This was a great opener that showed off what this trios division can be in the hands of Swerve and New Level.

Swerve has already figured out some strong trios offense with his new partners, making the champions look like real threats to just about anyone.

There was no way the titles were changing hands this time, but this should have been a clear indication that The Rascalz need a future trios title run.

Creed and Kofi have a move set that obviously fits well in the frantic pace of AEW, and the crowd is already completely behind them.

Result

Swerve, Kofi and Creed def. Xavier, Wentz and Reed by pinfall to retain the World Trios Championships.

Grade

A

Notable Moments and Observations

• The crowd was obviously heavily behind The New Level for much of this match, but the wild speed of The Rascalz had the crowd on their feet, especially Reed.
• Creed and Kofi looked good here, though they are still not quite used to the frantic pace a team like The Rascalz can hit.
• After the match, The Young Bucks arrived for the next segment, teasing by facing off with Creed and Kofi.

Adam Copeland Announces Triangle TLC Tag for All Out Against Young Bucks and FTR

Matt and Nick Jackson questioned whether Adam Copeland and Christian Cage were happy with how their All In match ended.

Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler alongside Stokely Hathaway arrived to lay their claim to the next AEW World Tag Team Championships opportunity.

This brought out Cope and Christian. While The Patriarch did not apologize for All In, Cope did before announcing C&C vs. Young Bucks vs. FTR at All Out in a TLC (name subject to change due to copyright) match.

AEW is typically better at action than promo work, but at least this was tight and delivered a major match reveal.

While it likely won't, this match could genuinely main-event All Out as these teams will be looking to deliver an all-timer together to compare with the original TLC match.

The one team that is in an odd spot after this reveal though is The Motor City Machine Guns, who seemed to be the next team up based on post-match at All In.

Hopefully, there is a plan to get them involved so that they are ready to challenge whichever team emerges from the triangle ladder match.

Grade

C

Notable Moments and Observations

• Christian did not look happy when Cope revealed the Ladder match challenge.
• Will Ospreay seemed uncertain backstage about his fifth man for the main event, but Callum Newman revealed Andrade El Ídolo was the man.
• Excalibur did later announce MCMG vs. The Swirl on Collision.

TNT Championship: Darby Allin (c) vs. Mark Davis

All Elite Wrestling

Darby Allin vs. Mark Davis

Last Time in Action: Darby Allin defeated Kevin Knight to capture the TNT Championship, and Mark Davis competed unsuccessfully in a Casino Gauntlet (All In, August 30).

Davis attacked Allin during his entrance, starting a brawl that went through a commercial break and included a Coffin Drop in the crowd.

Once the two battled into the ring to officially start the match, Auszilla took over with powerful strikes. Allin refused to stay down even after a powerful Lariat that sent the match into a second break.

The Daredevil managed to duck the Rebound Clothesline but ran right into a Back Body Drop. Davis got him up for a Piledriver, but Allin reversed into a Code Red for a near-fall.

Allin sent Davis outside into a surprise Tope Suicida. When both men barely made it back in the ring at nine, Allin caught Davis with a pair of Coffin Drops to win.

Trent Beretta and Rocky Romero attacked The Daredevil until Steven Borden arrived to make the save. Josh Alexander made his surprise return to help The Don Callis Family lay out both men.

This was a fun brawl, particularly the unofficial part of the contest that started around the ring.

It was not the best work either man has done in recent months, but it was still a memorable TV title bout that kept both men strong.

Davis barely lost and immediately got his heat back with the help of a returning Alexander.

Hopefully this is teasing Allin vs. Alexander sooner than later because that is an exciting fresh battle for the gold.

Result

Allin def. Davis by pinfall to retain the TNT Championship.

Grade

B

Notable Moments and Observations

• Don Callis joined commentary, and his mic went out during the action after an odd electrical sound. He decided to leave commentary.
• He eventually rejoined commentary to complain about the referee Aubrey Edwards.

Alex Windsor (w/ Jamie Hayter) vs. Megan Bayne (w/ Lena Kross)

All Elite Wrestling

Alex Windsor vs. Megan Bayne

Last Time in Action: Alex Windsor alongside Jamie Hayter defeated Megan Bayne alongside Lena Kross to capture the Women's World Tag Team Championships.

Windsor started strong with hard strikes that sent The Megasus reeling into the early commercial break.

The two went back and forth, delivering vicious offense including a Falcon Arrow from Bayne that almost sealed the win.

The Megasus tried to kick Windsor hard from the apron, but Windsor pulled her down. The two collided with clotheslines on the floor.

Kross passed Bayne the Women's World Tag Team Championship to blast Windsor while she brawled with Hayter.

Bayne followed up with a Running Powerbomb to seal the victory. Hayter ran off Divine Dominion afterward as they tried to deal more damage.

This was a fine follow-up to the physical match between The Brawling Birds and Divine Dominion at All In, but it felt more disjointed.

Particularly, the two did not quite have the strong pace and flow of the tag title match, instead just throwing hands until they were out of time.

Bayne picking up the win obviously puts Divine Dominion back on track to challenge The Brawling Birds, though the messy finish felt unnecessary.

The Megasus has been established as a dominant singles threat and could simply have beaten Windsor clean to set Divine Dominion for a rematch.

AEW should save the rematch for All Out while taking the time separately to build future tag threats for the champions. The women's tag division needs more names.

Result

Bayne def. Windsor by pinfall.

Grade

C+

Notable Moments and Observations

• Bayne physically showed her growing frustration by ripping off her head dress. It is a shame it was so near the end of the match and did not signal an elevation of the action.
• AEW aired MJF's immediate frantic comments after losing the Casino Gauntlet, promising revenge particularly on Will Ospreay.
• Nick Wayne interrupted a Jericho interview backstage and laid him out with a low blow.

Thekla Celebrates Mercedes Moné and Promises to Get Her Gold Back

All Elite Wrestling

Mercedes Moné

Mercedes Moné arrived to a ring adorned with pictures, highlighting The CEO's many accomplishments.

The CEO talked up her accomplishments, calling herself the only wrestler to win world title gold in four major companies.

She then turned her ire at Willow Nightingale, revealing her broken nose and black eye from their match. She toasted to Willow's failure and her own smile.

Thekla arrived in the crowd with a drink in hand to thank Moné for everything including taking down Willow. She then warned The CEO she was looking to take her title back.

The first verbal clash of Thekla and Moné was as expected. Both had fun, especially an energized Toxic Spider.

While both are heels, the crowd likes both, and they will have an invested crowd for their collision to come.

It is a shame that Thekla did not have a match at All In, but that will likely just motivate her to deliver big at (likely) All Out.

There is no doubt this feud will land, though more women need to start building some momentum to be the next one up.

Grade

B

Notable Moments and Observations

• The crowd was mostly behind The CEO until she had the audacity to go after Willow.
• The black eye reveal drew out a dueling crowd chant of "You deserve it/No, you don't."
• Thekla got a big pop for saying that no one swung the strap bigger than her. She also took offense to The CEO using her signature phrase.
• Backstage, Persephone and Britt Baker talked up their alliance while Persephone declared she would defend the TBS Championship against VertVixen on Collision.

Continental Championship Eliminator: Jon Moxley (c) vs. AR Fox

Last Time in Action: Jon Moxley defeated Nigel McGuinness to win the Continental Challenger Cup (All In, August 30); AR Fox lost to Nick Wayne (Collision, July 25).

Fox continued to throw his best offense at Mox, but the champion would not stay down no matter what he threw at him.

Finally, the challenger caught Mox with a series of strong kicks followed by a 450 Splash for the near-fall.

The Continental champion caught Fox in a Sleeper Hold that he transitioned into a Death Rider for the victory.

While this was competitive, it was never meant to be dramatic. Mox was riding high after Wembley and looked unbeatable throughout.

Fox delivered some exciting offensive flurries and flowed well working on Mox. He just never believably had Mox on the ropes.

At this point, it is hard to believe anyone could beat The Death Rider's leader. In fact, even Will Ospreay has yet to figure out Mox, which would be important for the main event to come.

Result

Mox def. Fox by pinfall.

Grade

B-

Notable Moments and Observations

• The crowd was mostly behind Mox but respectfully cheered on Fox as he rallied.
• Excalibur declared after this win that Mox was the all-time wins leader in AEW.
• Lexi tried to interview both Kevin Knight and Kyle Fletcher, but they just started arguing until Don Callis took over.
• Callis announced the two would team against Juice Robinson and Ace Austin on Collision. Kazuchika Okada mocked Fletcher about "family".

United Empire vs. The Demand and The Dogs

Last Time in Action: This was the first time either of these five-man teams had worked together, though Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona, Gabe Kidd and Clark Connors worked well together in the All In Trios Roulette Royale.

Henare and Liona started the match throwing forearms and headbutts until Liona laid him out with a Clothesline.

The action quickly broke down followed by Andrade El Ídolo dived onto the field, setting up a joint selfie with all of United Empire and the baddie of the week at ringside into the commercial break.

Callum Newman showed out against Kaun then Henare and Akira together laid into Kaun. Francesco Akira got isolated against GOA and could not take them down with chops.

The action boiled down to Ricochet vs. Will Ospreay where they flew around the ring with lightning-quick offense. Clark Connors tagged in, but he ran into a knee off a Spear attempt.

Andrade knocked down Connors with Día de los Muertos into a Hidden Blade for the victory.

Afterward, Ospreay and Andrade shook hands before the brawling continued. Kidd isolated Ospreay in the ring with a steel chair.

The Death Riders arrived, and Jon Moxley protected Ospreay. Andrade pulled Kidd outside for a brawl into the crowd.

Mox handed The Aerial Assassin the AEW World Championship before both men looked up at the titantron to see it would be Ospreay vs. Moxley at All Out.

This was the kind of multi-man wildness that AEW is best known for on TV. Everyone got time to shine and made an impression.

This match did not fully sell Ricochet's claim to a shot at Ospreay, but maybe that will be sold more in future weeks, either as a TV match soon or the next challenge for Ospreay after Mox.

The field is set for Ospreay's next few challengers, but the Mox reveal was the most effective. This is the man that The Aerial Assassin has not figured out and will need to quickly.

AEW very quickly shifted the focus to All Out with two official matches and a couple more match teases that make this feel like a can't-miss show to come.

The other interesting tease long term was dissension between Kidd and The Death Riders when it comes to Ospreay. That relationship remains intriguing with a need for something big to come out of it soon.

Result

Ospreay, Andrade, Newman, Henare and Akira def. Connors, Kidd, Ricochet, Liona and Kaun by pinfall.

Grade

B+

Notable Moments and Observations

• Excalibur announced Andrade vs. Kidd for the National Championship on Collision as well as Young Bucks vs. Brian Cage and Jake Doyle.
• Akira and Henare continue to impress in these spots and have earned themselves return cameo spots for AEW any time.
• Newman was highlighted more conservatively, but that may be because AEW is waiting to eventually showcase him vs. Ospreay at the right time.
• Mox looked genuinely shocked at the match graphic reveal for All Out.

Final Word

The hottest show of the year just passed, and AEW kept the momentum rolling with a show that looked far more forward than back.

Beyond some highlight videos throughout the night and the two world champions talking up their wins, it felt like AEW was not interested in reveling in the past.

The goal was to keep pressing forward, and that means All Out. The two contests already announced for the event—C&C vs. Young Bucks vs. FTR and Will Ospreay vs. Jon Moxley—are money matches for AEW.

No one wanted to wait to clearly establish why that Chicago show cannot be missed despite AEW doing so much already at All In.

The action drove the show alongside these All Out teases, and the somewhat overlong promo segments all had a clear point, selling that AEW never stops.

In that way especially, Dynamite was a rousing success.

Final Grade: B+
