AEW Dynamite took place on March 18, 2026, at Save Mart Center in Fresno, California. The event opened with clips from AEW Revolution. Will Ospreay defeated Blake Christian via pinfall after a Hidden Blade. Post-match, Ospreay took the microphone and said, 'I missed everyone. I tell Jon Moxley that the difference between them is he doesn’t need a weapon to snap someone’s neck, he can do it with his bare hands.' This led to a brawl involving Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, and PAC, who applied the Brutalizer on Ospreay before referees intervened. The Bang Bang Gang appeared during the chaos, and Ospreay fought PAC to the back. Later, Jon Moxley and Wheeler Yuta defeated Juice Robinson and Ace Austin, with Moxley hitting Death Rider on Austin for the pin. Gabe Kidd challenged Darby Allin to meet in the parking lot. The coffin match started outside: Allin drove a car over boxes, flipping it, then dragged Kidd to ringside using a skateboard, straight jacket, and chair. Kidd slammed the coffin door on Allin's fingers and bit him. Allin hit two Coffin Drops and closed the coffin lid on Kidd for the win. Afterward, Allin stated, 'I will hold that throttle until I sees God or the World Heavyweight Championship. I tell MJF that he is coming.' Swerve Strickland cut a promo, claiming he is the new number one contender for the AEW Championship and demanding Kenny Omega put his EVP status on the line. Commentators announced 'Timeless' Toni Storm was injured from an attack by Marina Shafir and replaced by Mina Shirakawa in her advertised no holds barred match. Mike Bailey defeated Mark Davis in the final match reported.
