AEW Dynamite delivered a chaotic night of returns, confrontations and high-stakes matches, with several rivalries intensifying as Dynasty draws closer.
A major moment came early in the show as Chris Jericho made his return in his hometown of Winnipeg. Jericho kept things brief, telling the crowd, “I’m home,” before the focus quickly shifted back to the AEW World Championship picture.
That picture took centre stage during a heated contract signing between Kenny Omega and MJF. Omega cut off MJF’s attempts to speak and accused him of hiding behind words, while MJF responded with personal comments about Omega’s past health issues. The exchange ended in chaos as Omega flipped the table and struck the champion.
Mike Bailey intervened and challenged MJF to a match later in the night, which the champion reluctantly accepted.
Omega later teamed with Brody King and Jack Perry to defeat The Demand in a fast-paced trios match. Despite heavy resistance from Ricochet and company, Omega secured the victory with the One-Winged Angel.
Backstage, tensions escalated as Adam Copeland and Christian Cage were ambushed by Trent Beretta and Rocky Romero during a search for FTR.
Earlier in the night, Will Ospreay attacked Jon Moxley backstage, setting the tone for a violent encounter later on. Ospreay went on to defeat Pac in a hard-fought match, overcoming a pre-match ambush and surviving multiple submission attempts.
After the bout, Ospreay was outnumbered by members of the Death Riders, including Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli, who left him laid out while issuing a warning.
In six-woman tag action, Mina Shirakawa, Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor defeated Julia Hart, Skye Blue and Thekla, with Hayter picking up the win.
Elsewhere, Darby Allin confronted MJF, only for Don Callis to announce that Andrade El Idolo will face Allin at Dynasty, with a future AEW World Championship opportunity on the line.
In the main event, MJF defeated Bailey in an AEW World Title Eliminator match. Bailey pushed the champion throughout with his speed and offence, but MJF ultimately took control and secured the win with the Heat Seeker.
After the match, MJF continued to attack Bailey until Omega returned to the ring, forcing the champion to retreat. Omega stood tall to close the show, as his rivalry with MJF continues to build momentum ahead of their upcoming clash.
