 AEW Dynamite Review 2.4.2026.

AEW World Heavyweight Champaionship Contract Signing ( Or So I Thought ).

This had me howling laughter, until the point that it wasn't funny. Tony Schiavone stood in the ring trying his best as a broadcaster to maintain his composure, as the Pyro went off he tried to talk, he looked visibly confused, and then Chris Jericho returned, he stated that He's home in AEW. It was reported by Daze Meltzer that Jericho was supposed to return after he had trade marked the phrase Cornerstone had come through. I didn't like any of this. All of this looked, and felt like a mess, and very out of time. It's no secret that I'm not a fan of Jericho. I'm not going to try and tell people how to feel about the man, because I can only talk from my own perspective. I'm not a fan of Jericho for reasons that I can't talk about online for legal reasons.

Osperay And Mox Fight.

Will Osperay, and. Jon Moxley then had a fight complete with a couple of f bombs. ( More on Will later on )

We Finally Got The AEW World Heavyweight Championship Contract Signing. The Demand vs Kenny Omega. Jungleboy Jack Perry And Brody King.

This was excellent. The struggles of power, and passion were played out here with ease. Both men hit the high marks, from Kenny's many names, his stomach issues being used as Max's best form of rhetoric, to Max being his usual offensive self. Speedball Mike Bailey then tried to calm things, whilst hitting Max with some home truths. Kenny is a living legend, who's the reason for why Max has a job in the first place, whilst Max rents out space in his own mind, because that's were he's a legend. Speedball then challenged Max to a Match in the main event. Max accepted, and the Match was set. Kenny was then in action teaming up with Jungleboy Jack Perry, and. Brody King, to face The Demand. This was ace, and after its lofi start, it managed to develop itself into one hell of a Party Match. The Matches within the Match were solid, and that triple suplex was chefs kiss. The physicality is a solid staple of any AEW Party Match, and as the Match went on the near falls were given time to breathe. Kenny and his mates got the win with a v trigger, and one winged angel combo.

Cage And Cope Are In The Building.

I'm just going to say it, whether it's real or keyfabe, Violence against women should never be used for laughter. Cage threatened to clean out Renee Paquette with a steelchair. I get that this was a part of the show, but when you look at the statistics to do with Domestic Violence during sport shows in America, and in the UK, its astonishing, so please take note of this AEW. Ropongi Vice then got battered because Cage And Cope got there Dates wrong. FTR are on Collision lads.

Pac vs Will Osperay.

When this Match got announced last week. I felt excitement run through my body, because I was reminded of their All Out 2024 banger that was awarded 5 stars by the Wrestling Observer. Did this match up to that, well, no, what we got was another staple of fantastic storytelling, and immense in ring work. Wills selling was on point, as the near falls were cleverly woven into the story, as the final exchanges saw Will get the win. Jon Moxley and the rest of The Deathriders then came out and put a beating on Will, and then Jon cut a scaving promo on, whilst reminding him of the numbers game, whilst also stating to never get personal with him again. All of this was excellent. Having Will face Pac, is an advertisement for Wembley, and a clear way to shift tickets. Currently the ticket toll stands at 22.000 tickets sold, with the venue being set up to hold 37.000, this means having Matches like this on weekly TV isn't just needed, it's a must. So you in August if you're interested.

The Brawling Birds And Mina Shirakowa vs The Triangle Of Madness.

( Insert Brawling Birds theme here ) We are The Brawling Birds hooroo, we are The Brawling Birds, there going race up them apples and pairs, because we are The Brawling Birds. This Match was decent, and it managed to showcase both teams chemistry, as the Match went into it's final run. The Birds got the win when Jamie Hayter hit Julia Hart with her Hayter aid finisher.

Darby Allin Segment.

Darby Allin came out, and went straight into business and called out MJF, after he cut a solid promo on his thoughts about who wins between MJF and Kenny Omega, and he said that he wants Max. He was then met by TDCWO, and Don Callis told him that if he wants a shot at Max, then he has to go through one of his deciples, and he chose Andrade El Idolo. The Pair will face each other at Dynasty. The family wanted in on the action, and just like that we got a feeding frenzy, leading darby to be saved by Kenny Omega, and. Jungleboy Jack Perry. I'm not sure what to make of this.

MJF vs Speedball Mike Bailey.

This was nearly my Match of the night, and if it had a few more minutes added to it, then we would talking a bit differantly. This was a TV Main Event worthy of that title. It was a heavily layered physical run through that hit every stop that you could think of. It was a pure momentum filled affair, that delivered as both mens manouvers became high octane, as they went on the offense. MJF got the win, and then laid in some digs on Mike, as Kenny was left helping his friend as the show went off the air. This was an excellent way to end the show.

Overview Of AEW Dynamite.

Putting the opening, and. Darby Allin segments to one side, this was a good episode of weekly TV, and with Wembley coming up on the horizon it's important that AEW gets on track with it's momentum, and on the strength of this weeks show. I think they're on track to do just that.

This weeks AEW Dynamite is a solid 8/10.
