The fallout from AEW Double or Nothing dominated Wednesday night as AEW presented a special three-hour block of Dynamite and Collision from Philadelphia on TBS. Fresh rivalries emerged, returning stars made statements, and multiple Owen Hart Foundation Tournament matches reshaped the road to All In.
The night also featured the continued implosion of several major factions across AEW, including tension surrounding the Death Riders, the Don Callis Family and the newly crowned AEW World Tag Team Champions Adam Cope and Christian Cage. Meanwhile, MJF celebrated regaining the AEW World Championship, but quickly found himself surrounded by multiple challengers.
The show opened with Excalibur, Tony Schiavone and Taz welcoming viewers before footage aired from backstage following Double or Nothing. Will Ospreay was interviewed by Renee Paquette outside the medical room when he crossed paths with Kenny Omega.
Omega questioned why Ospreay never asked him for help after his recent struggles, warning him about aligning himself with the Death Riders. The conversation was interrupted by Jon Moxley, who ominously reminded both men that everybody has skeletons.
Kevin Knight then headed to the ring to deafening boos from the Philadelphia crowd. Knight addressed his shocking attack on Darby Allin at Double or Nothing and insisted he attacked Allin because he believed Allin failed both himself and the fans by losing the AEW World Championship to MJF.
Knight claimed he should have been the one challenging for the title and vowed to take over AEW.
Mike Bailey interrupted and attempted to reason with Knight, praising his intensity while offering a handshake in hopes of repairing things. Knight responded by shoving Bailey’s hand away before flattening him with a clothesline and uranage.
Everyone Is Barred From Ringside Match: Jericho vs. Ricochet
Jericho and Ricochet collided next in an Everyone Is Barred From Ringside Match.
Ricochet started aggressively, taking Jericho outside and repeatedly targeting the veteran’s injured knee stemming from Double or Nothing. Jericho answered by trapping Ricochet in the Walls of Jericho on top of the announce desk before the action spilled around ringside and up the entrance ramp.
Back inside the ring, Ricochet survived multiple near falls and even resorted to a low blow after the referee was briefly distracted. Jericho eventually countered a high-risk splash with a Codebreaker before connecting with a Judas Effect and Lionsault combination for the victory.
Winner: Jericho
After the bell, Tommaso Ciampa shocked the crowd by attacking Jericho from behind. Ciampa stomped Jericho repeatedly, choked him with his own shirt and dropped him with a running knee strike before standing tall over the former world champion.
Superstation Showcase Four Way Match: Lio Rush vs. Rush vs. Brian Cage vs. Orange Cassidy
A bizarre and chaotic Four-Way Showcase Match followed, featuring Orange Cassidy, Rush, Brian Cage and Lio Rush.
The match quickly descended into chaos with Cage overpowering everyone early before Cassidy attempted to steal quick pinfalls. Lio Rush bizarrely appeared to have black liquid dripping from his mouth during portions of the contest, drawing disgusted reactions from Cassidy.
Outside interference soon erupted throughout the arena. Jake Doyle blindsided Cassidy before Roderick Strong fought Doyle from behind. Kyle O’Reilly brawled with Cage while Lance Archer carried Cassidy away from ringside.
That left Rush and Lio alone in the ring, where Rush eventually choked Lio with a cable before drilling him with Bull’s Horns for the victory.
Winner: Rush
Backstage, MJF encountered Kevin Knight and praised his future potential, although Knight made clear he did not attack Darby Allin for MJF’s benefit.
Moments later, MJF headed to the ring to celebrate becoming a three-time AEW World Champion. MJF bragged about defeating Allin with another Tombstone piledriver and declared himself the greatest of all time.
Mark Briscoe interrupted and tore down MJF’s celebratory banner, reminding MJF that he recently pinned him. Briscoe challenged him to a title match, but MJF refused while insulting Briscoe’s standing in wrestling.
As MJF attempted to leave, Rush interrupted and demanded an AEW World Championship opportunity of his own. MJF surprisingly agreed to defend the title against Rush next week, claiming Rush was more marketable than Briscoe.
Briscoe remained in the ring, furious and confused, as MJF escaped further confrontation.
A cinematic video package then aired, focusing on Jack Perry as he prepared for his Owen Hart Foundation Tournament quarterfinal against Mark Davis.
The segment featured Perry travelling around Philadelphia with Luchasaurus in the Jurassic Express bus while discussing his ambitions to eventually challenge for the AEW World Championship.
Owen Hart Foundation 2026 Men’s Tournament Quarter Final Match: Brody King vs. Claudio Castagnoli
Brody King and Claudio Castagnoli then battled in an Owen Hart Foundation Tournament quarterfinal match.
The contest was physical from the outset, with both men trading chops and strikes around the ringside. Castagnoli nearly secured victory with a Neutralizer, but King escaped before smashing Castagnoli with a clothesline for the upset win.
Winner: Brody King
New AEW World Tag Team Champions Adam Copeland and Christian Cage addressed the crowd next, following their violent Double or Nothing victory over FTR.
Christian surprisingly praised FTR as one of the greatest tag teams they had ever faced, while Copeland reflected on both men overcoming career-threatening injuries to reclaim tag team gold together after 25 years.
The celebration quickly fell apart when The Dogs attacked. Clark Connors crushed Cage’s hand under the steel steps while David Finlay repeatedly struck both men with a shillelagh.
Finlay and Connors then posed over the fallen champions using disposable cameras that Copeland had earlier distributed to fans for a planned five-second pose.
TayJay (Anna Jay & Tay Melo) vs. Allie Katch & Ava Everett
Anna Jay and Tay Melo scored a quick victory over Allie Katch and Ava Everett.
The reunited TayJay duo dominated much of the match before finishing Everett with a Gory Bomb and knee strike combination.
Winners: Anna Jay and Tay Melo
Owen Hart Foundation 2026 Men’s Tournament Quarter Final Match: Jack Perry vs. Mark Davis
Jack Perry later returned to the ring for his Owen Hart Foundation Tournament quarterfinal against Mark Davis, with Don Callis joining commentary.
Davis aggressively targeted Perry’s back throughout the contest and repeatedly punished him around ringside. Perry mounted several comebacks and trapped Davis in the Snare Trap, but Davis powered free and eventually planted Perry with a devastating piledriver from the middle rope for the upset victory.
Winner: Mark Davis
Following the match, Don Callis entered the ring alongside Davis, Kyle Fletcher and Rocky Romero.
Callis claimed Konosuke Takeshita was never truly the chosen star of the Don Callis Family and instead insisted Fletcher was always the future of the group.
Fletcher announced he was medically cleared after recovering from injury and viciously blasted Takeshita as “dead weight” before accusing him of selfishness.
Takeshita then stormed to the ring alongside The Conglomeration, forcing the Don Callis Family to retreat. Takeshita ended the confrontation by challenging Fletcher directly.
Will Ospreay & Death Riders (Jon Moxley & Pac) vs. The Rascalz (Dezmond Xavier, Zachary Wentz & Myron Reed)
The third hour transitioned to Collision, where Will Ospreay teamed with Jon Moxley and Pac against The Rascalz.
The uneasy alliance largely controlled the bout with Moxley and Pac using brutal offence against Myron Reed while Ospreay dazzled with his athleticism. Despite several close calls from The Rascalz, Ospreay eventually trapped Reed in the Death Ground submission for the win.
Winners: Will Ospreay, Jon Moxley and Pac
Ace Austin vs. Andrade El Idolo
Andrade El Idolo then defeated Ace Austin in a competitive singles contest.
Austin pushed Andrade throughout the match and nearly scored the upset with The Fold, but Andrade ultimately countered and connected with The Message for the victory.
Winner: Andrade El Idolo
Lights Out Philly Street Fight: Hikaru Shida vs. Kris Statlander
The night closed with an incredibly violent Lights Out Philly Street Fight between Hikaru Shida and Kris Statlander.
The two women brawled all over the arena using kendo sticks, chairs, tables and even a light tube. Shida repeatedly targeted Statlander with weapons, including shoving an apple into her mouth before kicking her in the face, while Statlander answered with punishing power moves onto chairs and the floor.
Late in the contest, Shida smashed a light tube across Statlander’s back and nearly won with a Falcon Arrow. Statlander survived, however, and eventually gained assistance from Harley Cameron, who handed her a kendo stick.
Statlander used the weapon before drilling Shida with two consecutive Saturday Night Fever finishers, including one through a table, to secure the brutal victory.
Winner: Kris Statlander
