AEW Dynamite Recap For July 1st, 2026

Will Ospreay says a few weeks ago Moxley said he was starting to see "IT" in Ospreay... What does that mean? Moxley says if he could say it in words, he would.

AEW is meant to be great and this business is the greatest sport in the world. But it's full of backstabbers and carnys that pull the business down. It's up to them to protect AEW. To protect the business.

Jon Moxley offers Will Ospreay a spot in the Death Riders. He's proud of him.

Kenny Omega witnesses the whole thing. Will says Kenny is not his father. Just because Kenny Omega has given up on himself doesn't mean Ospreay has given up. Kenny says given up???

MJF walks by. Kenny Omega tells him that he's got next for the title. MJF says he'll see Ospreay at Wembley and leaves. Kenny reminds Ospreay none of this is bigger than what they have. They will always be friends.

AEW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP: MJF DEF. MARK BRISCOE(18:21)

MJF retains the AEW World Championship in a very fun match and BLOODY match against Mark Briscoe. Briscoe took MJF to the limit but MJF was too much to overcome.

Post match MJF attacks Briscoe with the Dynamite Diamond Ring until Kenny Omega runs out

Kenny Omega runs out to save Mark Briscoe from MJF and then challenges MJF to a match tonight. MJF calls him stupid. But then he has an idea. He will fight Kenny Omega next week at Beach Break but only if Omega puts his right to challenge for the AEW World Championship on the line.

Kenny has until the end of the night to accept.

MJF is calling out Andrade when he's confronted by Will Ospreay. Ospreay asks MJF why did he place THAT stipulation on Kenny Omega next week?

It's because he's the champion and Ospreay is not. It's because MJF wants everyone to know that it's HIM that's going to see Will Ospreay at Wembley Stadium and nobody else.

Andrade is doing an interview with Tony Schiavone when he's attacked by the Don Callis Family

Don Callis grabs a mic and asks Andrade.. How you know? Then he calls to get rid of Andrade from the ring so Kevin Knight can defend the TNT Championship against Lio Rush

TNT CHAMPIONSHIP: KEVIN KNIGHT DEF. LIO RUSH(8:43)

Kevin Knight retains the TNT Championship against Lio Rush and is immediately confronted by Darby Allin

Kevin Knight is about to give Darby a TNT Championship opportunity but Don Callis says no. Darby used explosives against Knight at Forbidden Door so he crossed the line from wrestler to criminal.

He will never get a shot at the TNT Championship. Darby smiles. If that's the way Kevin wants it... That's cool with Darby.

Speedball Mike Bailey dressed in black, looks on from the crowd.

Chris Jericho and Tomasso Ciampa brawl around the parking lot as Ciampa tried to drill Jericho on the head but Jericho fights it off and they get broken up.

Ciampa vs Jericho Next week!

THE DEATH RIDERS DEF. THE SWIRL(9:14)

Will Ospreay has accepted the Death Riders patch and wears it for his match with Jon Moxley against Blake Christian and Lee Johnson

Very fun match that ends with Ospreay pushing Mox out of the way of danger and taking out Blake Christian with an Oscutter. Mox hits Lee Johnson with a Death Rider into Ospreay's Hidden Blade

Christian asks Edge what is up with Jay White? Edge says he owed him a favor and now they're even. Well Christian had beef with Jay White the last time they saw each other and he still doesn't like him

459 days since Jay White stood in an AEW ring. Last time he was here, they were desperate to get rid of the Death Riders. Now everyone likes them? Now they're hanging around with the biggest fraud in pro wrestling, Will Ospreay? But he's not here to talk to them.

Who let the Dogs out.

Jay White is here to deal with the Dogs. To deal with David Finlay, a nepo baby bitch boy but one of the most talented men he's ever seen. Jay White says Finlay took him out before he could say goodbye to the fans who raised him in Japan. Now the Dogs have only been in AEW for four months but their stench is already far too strong.

Jay White is here to rid AEW of them so everyone can BREATH with the Switchblade

EXCELLENT promo from Jay White

A video plays backstage of Shane Taylor Promotions dismissing the return of the Collision Cowboys and calling them out for a match

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST FOR THE VACANT TBS CHAMPIONSHIP: HIKARU SHIDA DEF. KRIS STATLANDER, QUEEN AMINATA, PERSEPHONE, AND HARLEY CAMERON(17:27)

Hikaru Shida eliminated Maika with a surprise roll up.

Persephone eliminated Queen Aminata (Boo💔)

Will Ospreay attempts to stop Kenny Omega from accepting MJF's deal. He wants to wrestle Kenny Omega at Wembley Stadium but thinks Kenny may not believe in himself enough.

Kenny says time is running out and if he's gonna go out then he's gonna go out guns blazing. Hopefully with Ospreay's support. Ospreay says of course.

Kenny walks out to the crowd and tells them he's been doing this for 30 years and they have always gotten the same Kenny. He's won titles and broken records. A career he can proudly hang his hat on.

But Kenny knows it's not enough. He needs to win the AEW World Championship, just one more time. Kenny wants to represent AEW on the biggest stage in Wembley.

All he has to do is put it all on the line. If he fails he will become just like Cody. Just like Hangman. A person who can never challenge for the AEW World Championship again.

Is the cost too high? No.

Kenny is still the Best Bout Machine, the Cleaner, the God of Pro Wrestling. Kenny Omega ACCEPTS MJF's offer.

Kenny bids us adieux but he's attacked by MJF. MJF tries to use the Ring but Kenny reversed and they fought until security came out.
