AEW Dynamite Review 12.2.2026.

Kenny Omega vs Swerve Strickland.

This segment was awesome. I love it when AEW host these face to face segments. The dynamic was spot on between these two. From Swerve bringing how many other company's talent were vying to face Kenny, to his injuries, and real life suspension from Brawl In. Kenny fired back by stating that he will beat Swerve, because he believes he will. He gave Swerve a slap, and just like that the fight was on. Both men thought in the fans, and onto the stage, this led to Swerve sphering Kenny off the Stage, and through two well placed tables.

The Deathriders vs The Don Callis Family.

I have my gripes, not with this Match, because this was solid. It's this Don Callis Family, and. Deathriders feud. I'm bored of this, and just want it two end. The Deathriders got the win. Moxley vs Takeshita on Saturday is going to bang though.

Kyle Fletcher vs Tomasso Ciampa AEW TNT Championship.

I loved this. From Kyle being able to neutrilise Tomasso's offence in the early going, him eating a Psycho driller on the steel steps, and multiple knees to the face. This would lead into the final sequences, that worked to solidify Kyles fighting spirit status. The pace of the Match became the back story, and it made sense, because this played into both mens abilities. This would lead to Kyle getting the win, and becoming a two time AEW TNT Champion. He said in the aftermath of this Match, that he will be a fighting champion, and will take all comers. Enter stage left Mark Briscoe. Mark said that they've faced each other six times, in the past, so how about a seventh in Sydney. Kyle accepted, and said that if Mark wants to get his belt, then he's going to have to reach for the sky in a Ladder Match. I love this booking, as it underlines the form of Esca Dela Huerte. 

Sorry Mum.

My mums Birthday is on the 28th of March, and i'm just going to say it. The All In Presale Tickets go on sale on the 16th, and I plan on getting myself, a big old expensive ticket, so yeah, sorry mum.

Daniel Garcia And Clark Connors vs Orange Cassidy And Roderick Strong.

This was good. On paper and I was excited to see how this would unfold, and it didn't match part of my expectations. The physicality was good, but this was layered with some predictable tropes, that I couldn't get my head around, from a storytelling aspect. Roderick Strong walked out on Cassidy, and. Darby Allin attacked Clark Connors, after his trip to the desert on a horse with no name from last week. Cassidy managed to get the win, and then we were treated to Timeless Toni Storm, threatening to make Marina Shafir look like a hideos unloved child, when she shaves her head on Saturday. Don't worry mina your hair will grow back, as for Wheeler Yuta. I can't wait to see you looking like Dr Evils long lost son. 

Hangman Adam Page And Andrade El Idolo Segment.

We then heard from Andrade El Idolo, and Hangman Adam Page, ahead of their Match this weekend. I can't to see this at Grandslam.

Young Bucks vs. The Rascalz vs Private Party.

Private Party are back in AEW, and I couldn't be more pleased to see them. Two Years ago I met Private Party at an AEW fan meet up, at the Box Park in Wembley the day before All In London 2024, and they couldn't have been any nicer, So I wish them all the best. Back in late 2024 it was rumoured that they were WWE bound, so it's great to see them back home. This was a solid look at Were AEW want to take their Tag Team Division. This was a party Match in every sense of the word. The outlay screamed go, from the pace, to the booking. Young Bucks got the win, and then had a minor segment with FTR. They shut Dax Harwood up by superkicking him him, and. Cash Wheeler, whilst my man Big Stoke sat their in his wheelchair, looking like a comic book Super Villain. I liked this. I get that this can be seen as backwards booking, that has had varying results. I think that this screams reset, and when you look at AEW's Tag Team Division, this is needed in my opinion.

Will Osperay Return Vingnette.

Ok AEW I see what you're doing here, you want Wembley to be a sell out. Ok then take my money. These vingnettes are working at telling the audience what might becoming just around the corner. I love Will, and want nothing but the best for him, and I hope his light training goes well.

Thekla vs Kris Statlander AEW Womens Championship.

I loved this. From the very go I knew that we we were in for a treat, from the sight of Statlander standing there with the leather strap, which would play into the backwards psychology of the Match, both ladies laying in some sickening slaps to each other, and Statlander getting busted open, and Thekla chewing on her flesh. These moments would play into how the Match played out. I'm starting to like Thekla, but I love watching Kris Statlander work, and i'm gutted to see her lose the belt in the fashion of The Sisters Of Sin taking her out. Kris Statlanders AEW Run with the main womens belt has been a bit mixed, and having it end in this way, doesn't help the scanario.

Overview Of AEW Dynamite. 

This weeks AEW Dynamite felt like a standard edition of weekly TV, and not a go home show, before a big show, however, this show worked to get me excited for Australia GrandSlam, because Pro Wrestling is a divisive thing. Like what you like Guys.

This Weeks AEW Dynamite is a solid 8/10.
