The lineup for tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite has been confirmed.
AEW presents a special three-hour edition of AEW Dynamite and AEW Collision tonight, October 14, 2026, featuring five Clockwork Carnage qualifying matches, two championship defences and several major tag team encounters.
The combined broadcast will take place live from the Wolstein Center at Cleveland State University in Cleveland, Ohio, airing on TBS in the United States and MyAEW.com internationally.
With AEW WrestleDream scheduled for Saturday, October 17, tonight’s show will serve as the final opportunity for several wrestlers to secure their places in the Clockwork Carnage match for the AEW World Championship.
Five spots in Saturday’s Clockwork Carnage match remain, with the winners of tonight’s qualifying bouts joining AEW World Champion Will Ospreay, Samoa Joe and Mike Bailey.
AEW TNT Champion Darby Allin will face Hechicero in a match that will also see Allin put his championship on the line. Hechicero has the opportunity to leave Cleveland with both the TNT Championship and a place in Saturday’s world title encounter.
AEW International Champion Kazuchika Okada faces a similar challenge against Myron Reed. Okada will defend his championship while trying to qualify for Clockwork Carnage, after recently falling short against Ospreay in an AEW World Championship match.
Elsewhere, Ricochet will face Ace Austin, while Konosuke Takeshita takes on Brian Cage in another qualifying encounter.
Adam Copeland will also look to secure his place at WrestleDream when he goes one-on-one with Josh Alexander.
With five spots still up for grabs, the qualifying matches will determine the full field for Saturday’s championship contest.
Alongside the qualifying matches, tonight’s three-hour special features four additional encounters involving several of AEW’s biggest names.
AEW World Champion Will Ospreay will team with Andrade El Idolo against Samoa Joe and Tommaso Ciampa. The match gives Ospreay and Joe a chance to meet just days before they compete in Clockwork Carnage.
In the women’s division, Mercedes Moné will join forces with Divine Dominion’s Lena Kross and Megan Bayne to face Triangle of Madness, represented by Skye Blue, Julia Hart and Thekla.
The Death Riders will also be in action as Jon Moxley, Gabe Kidd and Daniel Garcia take on Don Callis Family members Mark Davis, Jake Doyle and Wardlow in a six-man tag team match.
Meanwhile, Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. will team with Persephone against Hyan and Dani Luna.
With nine matches advertised, including two championship defences and five Clockwork Carnage qualifiers, tonight’s Dynamite and Collision special promises significant implications for WrestleDream.
