Darby Allin captured the AEW World Championship in the main event of a dramatic Spring BreakThru edition of AEW Dynamite, defeating MJF in his home state of Washington.
The show opened with chaos as MJF arrived late and attempted to avoid defending his title, claiming injury and threatening legal action. Allin confronted him in the ring, delivering an emotional promo before Bryan Danielson announced the match would headline the show, warning MJF he would be stripped of the title if he refused to compete.
In the opening match, Tommaso Ciampa defeated Dezmond Xavier with a running knee before continuing the attack and calling for a future AEW World Championship opportunity.
FTR later addressed the crowd, dismissing criticism and declaring themselves unbeatable, insisting no team in AEW could take the titles from them.
The AEW TNT Championship was on the line as Kevin Knight retained against Claudio Castagnoli in a fast-paced contest, finishing the match with a UFO Splash.
Chris Jericho returned to the ring to address his comeback, but was interrupted by Ricochet and The Demand. A brief brawl followed, with Ricochet’s group getting the upper hand.
In one of the night’s standout matches, Will Ospreay defeated Hechicero after a hard-fought technical battle. Ospreay was attacked after the match by Mark Davis, following a distraction from Don Callis and Lance Archer.
Backstage, tensions in the women’s division continued to build as Thekla and Alex Windsor exchanged heated words, setting up a future confrontation.
The AEW TBS Championship was also defended, with Willow Nightingale retaining against Kamille after countering into a pinning combination despite sustained damage to her arm.
In the main event, Allin overcame early interference and underhanded tactics from MJF, including a low blow, before delivering four Coffin Drops. He then secured the victory with a headlock takeover, mirroring his previous loss to MJF in 2021.
Allin’s win marks his first AEW World Championship reign and ended MJF’s title run, with the locker room joining him in the ring to celebrate alongside Sting as the show went off the air.
