AEW Dynamite takes place on March 11, 2026, at 8 p.m. ET from the San Jose Civic Center in San Jose, California, broadcast on TBS and streaming on HBO Max. This episode serves as the final show before AEW Revolution on March 15 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
The night begins with a press conference featuring AEW World Champion MJF and Hangman Adam Page. The two rivals will address their upcoming Texas Death Match for the AEW World Championship, where Page faces the stipulation that a loss means he can never challenge for the title again. Their animosity has escalated recently, including MJF's interference in last week's AEW World Trios Championship match, leading to Page's team losing the titles to the Don Callis Family.
In the first title match, TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher defends against Mike Bailey. Fletcher, part of the new Trios Champions with Mark Davis and Kazuchika Okada, faces Bailey, who previously defeated him in the Continental Classic. Bailey aims for his first singles gold in AEW before teaming with Kevin Knight and Místico to challenge for the Trios Titles at Revolution.
TBS Champion Willow Nightingale defends against Persephone following a successful title retention against Nina Samuels in England over the weekend. Persephone, who recently won the CMLL World Women’s Championship from Mercedes Moné in Arena México, signed a dual contract with AEW. The two previously competed in a four-way match at Wrestle Dynasty in the Tokyo Dome.
Tag team action includes Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli of the Death Riders versus Konosuke Takeshita and Hechicero of the Don Callis Family. This follows a brawl on Collision after Takeshita's win over Castagnoli, previewing Moxley's no-time-limit Continental Championship defense against Takeshita at Revolution.
Darby Allin and Orange Cassidy face David Finlay and Gabe Kidd of The Dogs in another tag match. Finlay debuted last week by attacking Allin and Cassidy post-match, aligning with Kidd and Clark Connors.
The trios match pits Mark Briscoe and the Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) against Tommaso Ciampa and FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler). Ciampa turned on Briscoe on Collision after initially aiding him against FTR, heightening tensions ahead of the Bucks' Tag Team Championship challenge against FTR at Revolution.
