AEW Dynamite Recap Tonight for Cleveland
MJF Opens Dynamite With a Message
AEW Dynamite opened with an intense backstage segment featuring MJF, who unleashed a scathing tirade aimed squarely at Hangman Adam Page and Mark Briscoe. Furious at the situation regarding his AEW World Title opportunity, MJF took direct shots at Hangman, stating:
“Seabiscuit, because of your cowardice, you refuse to give me a world title shot here in AEW unless I execute my contract. Because of that fact, one of your close friends is gonna pay.”
Turning his full attention to Mark Briscoe, MJF's verbal assault grew deeply personal and incendiary:
“I heard you last week. You are worried you're never gonna see your brother up again in heaven because of all the sins you want to commit on me and your refusal to repent. Well, I don't know if you heard, Marky, but you are looking in the eyes of the devil and I got no problem sending you straight to hell. Hell, I'll send you straight back to hell, AKA Dumpster Fire, Delaware, so you can go back to doing what God put you on this earth to do. And that is to be nothing more than a loser, a chicken farmer, a blue-collar bitch.”
Continuing his aggressive disdain, MJF further demeaned Briscoe’s status and character:
“You are not a professional wrestler. You are not a real athlete. You are not a real man. You know what you are? You're not championship material. You, my friend, are white trash that got lucky. That's why these people cheer for you, Mark. They pity you, they feel bad for you. And tonight, Mark Briscoe, I'm afraid your luck's gonna run out.”
Jon Moxley def. Speedball Mike Bailey
In an explosive singles contest on AEW Dynamite, Jon Moxley faced off against Speedball Mike Bailey in a hard-hitting match. The bout began intensely, with Bailey delivering precise strikes and a swift dropkick that sent Moxley reeling. Capitalizing on his momentum, Bailey executed an impressive backflip knee drop, stunning Moxley at ringside.
However, Moxley quickly regained control, wrenching Bailey's finger gruesomely and delivering a powerful Avalanche Butterfly Suplex from the top rope. Commentator Tony Schiavone vividly noted Moxley's brutal offense: "Good god, he's gonna break it. If he hasn't broken it, he's gonna pull it out of its socket."
Bailey mounted a spirited comeback, hitting Moxley with a pinpoint missile dropkick and a stunning Shooting Star Press for a close two-count. Displaying his adept submission skills, Bailey transitioned smoothly into a triangle choke and a tight Juji Gatame cross armbreaker, putting Moxley in significant jeopardy.
Amid the chaos, Darby Allin appeared in the crowd and ambushed Wheeler Yuta, incapacitating him and dragging him off, which drew Moxley's attention momentarily. Despite this distraction, Moxley managed to counter Bailey's offensive flurry with a devastating Death Rider, planting Bailey directly onto the crown of his head for the decisive pinfall victory.
Immediately following the bell, Moxley and Shafir departed into the crowd, heading in the general direction that Allin had dragged Yuta off in.
Toni Storm & Alex Windsor Continue Their Partnership
In a lively backstage segment on AEW Dynamite, Renee Paquette interviewed Toni Storm and Alex Windsor ahead of Windsor's significant four-way matchup, which would determine AEW’s contender for Mercedes Moné's TBS Championship at Forbidden Door.
Storm enthusiastically set the scene, saying, “What a menagerie of bruising, brawling bitches. I used to pray for times like these.” Windsor then addressed her opponents directly, stating, “Billie Starkz, Queen Aminata, Skye Blue, you guys better hit me hard enough for the back row to hear tonight because the only name you'll be hearing is Alex Windsor.”
Storm humorously emphasized the pair’s resilience, quipping, “If there's anything I know about this clearly non-sexual friendship, it is you can beat us down, but you can't beat us off.” Windsor echoed the spirited sentiment, humorously stumbling into the playful tone herself, “What Toni is trying to say is that you can't give me any lick without me giving my lick back. Oh my God, I'm doing it as well.”
The segment concluded with Storm issuing a direct challenge to her upcoming opponent, Athena, asserting confidently, “Tonight is your moment, and then it's on to Forbidden Door where I will reverse my London luck. And Athena, if you want to whip out your John Hancock and wet the ink, then we can do this right here tonight in Cleveland, as it says on the Ohio license plates. Let's tape up your tits and tango.”
After we hear from Storm and Windsor, we see the Death Riders searching outside the arena, where they find Wheeler Yuta stuffed into a body bag. Darby Allin drives by, and as Moxley frees Yuta from the bag, he finds a note from Allin with a simple message: “Forbidden Door.”
“8 Belts” Mercedes Moné Makes Her Arrival
In a segment from earlier in the day on AEW Dynamite, Renee Paquette greeted the arriving Mercedes Moné, who made her first appearance since her notable loss to Toni Storm at All In: Texas. Moné emerged confidently from a stretch SUV limousine, prominently displaying all her championship belts, while casually enjoying a piece of watermelon, which she nonchalantly tossed aside after just one bite.
Paquette warmly welcomed Moné, exclaiming, “The CEO is here in Cleveland, eight belts Moné back on Dynamite. Mercedes, congratulations on adding yet another championship to your collection.” She then attempted to discuss Moné's previous encounter, saying, “But Mercedes, let's talk about All In: Texas. We've not seen you since then. That match between you and Toni Storm was so incredible. This was deemed the best women's wrestling match in the history of the sport before the match even happened. Granted, you didn't walk away with that victory, but this is a match that we are all going to remember for—”
Moné sharply interrupted Paquette, curtly dismissing her enthusiasm with, “Renee, don't be such a mark,” before confidently walking away, leaving Paquette momentarily speechless.
Forbidden Door TBS Championship 4-Way Qualifier: Alex Windsor def. Queen Aminata, Billie Starkz and Skye Blue
Up next, Queen Aminata, Billie Starkz, Skye Blue, and Alex Windsor clashed in a high-stakes Forbidden Door TBS Title 4-Way Qualifier match. The action immediately intensified, with Aminata showcasing her powerful reach advantage, as commentator Excalibur noted her as "one of the hardest hitters in the AEW Women's Division."
The match quickly broke down into rapid exchanges and tandem offense, with Skye Blue executing a precise neckbreaker on Windsor on the apron, only for Windsor to retaliate with a cannonball senton off the apron, wiping out Skye. Billie Starkz surprised everyone by landing a dramatic Senton Atomico onto the competitors outside.
Back in the ring, Windsor nailed a Blue Thunder Bomb, nearly securing a pinfall before Starkz broke it up. Windsor then applied a Sharpshooter in the middle of the ring, only to have Aminata disrupt it with targeted kicks. The match escalated further as all four competitors exchanged strikes, headbutts, and dynamic moves, leaving them momentarily downed.
In a pivotal moment, Skye Blue delivered a breathtaking Avalanche Sunset Flip Powerbomb on Windsor, nearly clinching victory. Aminata responded aggressively, executing an Emerald Flowsion on Skye through a chair at ringside. Inside the ring, after a chaotic sequence and interference from Athena, Alex Windsor swiftly countered Billie Starkz's attack, securing the victory with a clever inside cradle.
Post-match, Mercedes Moné made an appearance, confronting Windsor as Toni Storm watched closely. However, Athena blindsided Storm with a devastating O-Face, and Moné delivered a Lungblower to Windsor. Moné and Athena then faced off, sharing a tense stare-down as AEW Dynamite headed to break.
The Young Bucks Want Respect From Production
Earlier in the day on AEW Dynamite, Renee Paquette caught up with the Young Bucks backstage, ahead of their semifinal match in the AEW World Tag Team Title Eliminator Tournament against the dynamic team Brodido.
Paquette initiated the interview, noting the impressive recent performances of Brodido, which immediately irked Nick Jackson, who responded, “Are you kidding me, the disrespect, Renee, we're still founding fathers around here. Show us some.” Matt Jackson then abruptly redirected their frustration toward a production crew member, confronting him directly:
“Hey, production guy. Yeah, yeah, you. Hey, film this. Well, while we've got you, I'd like to bend your ear. How about you and your team treat us with a little bit more respect? The last couple of weeks you've dropped us out. You give us the worst entrances ever. And hey, if you don't, heads will roll. We want the LED, we want the freaking pyro. We want everything. No disrespect. Hey, give us that note and you tell Justin Roberts this, this is how you introduce a couple of stars. Word for word, verbatim. Go. Get your ass back there. People are so fickle around here.”
Closing the segment, Renee sarcastically wished them well, remarking, “Best of luck to our ex-EVPs tonight as they take on the new hot tag team, Brodido.”
Don Callis Gifts Kyle Fletcher Some “Art”
Renee Paquette introduced the newly crowned TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher, accompanied by the Don Callis Family’s Don Callis, Josh Alexander, Hechicero, and Lance Archer.
Paquette began to address Fletcher's brutal victory over Dustin Rhodes, but Callis quickly interjected, emphasizing the family's ambition: “The real question you should be asking is the question on everybody's lips. Why am I building the largest numerical faction in the history of pro wrestling? Very simple: power. And when you want power in this business, cast your eyes on the gold. 'Cause when you've got the gold, you control destiny.”
Callis highlighted the success of his faction, pointing out their accumulation of championships, then praised Fletcher directly: “Kyle, I think you may have retired a legend in winning that belt.” Fletcher then spoke confidently about his violent triumph, asserting, “Dustin Rhodes got exactly what he deserved for stealing my moment at All In. Dustin may have had a storied career, but a 60-year-old man does not deserve to be in the same ring as the Protostar.” He continued, boasting about sidelining Adam Cole, saying, “Who knows if we're ever gonna see Adam Cole again? And that's all thanks to me.”
Fletcher declared his ambitious goal, promising, “Every man that tries to take this from me will suffer the same fate because I will be the greatest TNT Champion of all time on my way to becoming the greatest of all time.”
The segment took an interesting turn when Callis unveiled an oil painting he claimed to have created personally, depicting Fletcher nude, strategically covered only by the TNT Championship, alongside a provocatively dressed Callis himself. Fletcher, clearly delighted, exclaimed, “It may be the greatest gift I have ever received!”
Fletcher concluded the celebration by declaring his intent to be a fighting champion: “My very first defense of this championship will be this Saturday on Collision because I will be the greatest champion you have ever seen. It does not matter who shows up because the result will be the same—I will have my hand raised and you better get used to this image because I will be the TNT Champion for a very, very, very, very long time.”
Adam Copeland Has an Idea: Fight Stokely
In a backstage interview segment on AEW Dynamite, Alicia Atout spoke with Adam Copeland, addressing the events involving Christian Cage's recent controversial apology and subsequent attack by Kip Sabian and Nick Wayne.
Reflecting on Cage's actions, Copeland expressed uncertainty and frustration, stating, “I don't know what my take is. The guy came out there with, like you said, zero remorse. His apology, it wasn't an apology. He's learned nothing and has no concept of what he's been the last few years, and that's an asshole.”
Turning his attention to his own current conflicts, Copeland continued, “Here's what I do know: he's got his hands full with Kip, Nick, and Shayna, which brings me to who I have my hands full with, and that's FTR and Stokely Hathaway.”
Highlighting a critical legal barrier, Copeland explained, “I know I can't get within 200 feet of you guys, but that also means you can't get within 200 feet of me, and that works out pretty good because I got off the phone with Tony Khan. Next week for the first time ever, one-on-one, it's the Rated-R Superstar versus Stokely.”
Adding an intriguing stipulation, Copeland issued a clear ultimatum: “If FTR, if you guys interfere, your whole restraining order is null and void. So you have a choice—do you interfere and open up the door to me kicking your asses? Or do you stand there and throw Stokely to the wolf? And trust me, I will tear him apart slowly, piece by piece. The choice is yours. See you next week.”
AEW World Tag Team Title Eliminator Tournament Semifinal: Brodido (Brody King and Bandido) def. The Young Bucks
In a thrilling AEW World Tag Team Title Eliminator Tournament match on Dynamite, Brodido took on The Young Bucks, who faced several humorous mishaps during their entrance. The Bucks' planned entrance was marred by the entrance screen malfunctioning, forcing them to awkwardly crawl beneath it. Further complications arose when ring announcer Justin Roberts read a sarcastic note from the Bucks verbatim, and their pyro consisted of a single audible explosion followed by one lone bottle rocket, all set amusingly to ice cream truck music.
Once the action commenced, Brody King quickly asserted dominance with his imposing physicality, knocking the Bucks to the floor. Bandido capitalized, executing a top rope moonsault assisted by King, wiping out both opponents at ringside.
The match saw intense back-and-forth action after the commercial break, highlighted by Nick Jackson’s enzuigiri and a well-executed Risky Business attempt on Brody King, which King impressively kicked out of. Bandido displayed remarkable resilience with a military press, but was countered by Matt Jackson's slingshot X-Factor. Matt continued the offense with a Senton Atomico, but King intervened just in time to break up the pin.
Both teams displayed outstanding teamwork, with the Bucks delivering multiple Superkicks and a TK Driver, only for King to narrowly break up the pin. Brody King retaliated forcefully with a brutal Death Valley Driver on the apron, followed by a chaotic exchange at ringside.
The match concluded dramatically when Bandido followed up a 21-Plex and a near-fall by executing the devastating assisted flip that has become Brodido's calling card as a finishing maneuver, allowing King and Bandido to secure the victory. This triumphant win advanced Brodido to the tournament finals, setting up an exciting showdown with FTR.
We’re treated to a package recapping the escalating animosity between MJF and Mark Briscoe, as well as MJF claiming the CMLL Junior Heavyweight Championship, before their grudge match main event later tonight.
MVP Kicks MJF Out of the Hurt Syndicate, Gives a Warning
In a backstage segment on AEW Dynamite, Renee Paquette interviewed The Hurt Syndicate about the ongoing Eliminator Tournament, with MVP sharing respectful remarks about potential opponents Brodido, saying, “They're magnificent and I'd like to extend to them a huge congratulations. And furthermore, I'd like to give best wishes to the final two teams to meet up for an opportunity to meet up with the Hurt Syndicate. Whoever we face at Forbidden Door, we will be all too happy to hurt them.”
The interview took an intense turn when MJF interrupted, addressing MVP directly, "Montel, look, with all due respect, you have known me since I was 18 years old. We don't need Bob, we don't need Shelton. We just need each other. And together we can win that world championship.”
MVP swiftly countered MJF's statement, expressing frustration with his attitude, “Max, man, you don't get it, man. You don't get it. Now you're talking about we. I told you if you join the Syndicate, we hurt people. And since you joined us, all you've been talking about is me, me, me. My ego is more than anybody can stand and that's coming from me. So it is what it is, brother.” MVP concluded with a final warning and subtle threat, “It is my last act of kindness to you because I do love you like a little brother. We will leave you in one healthy piece so that you can pursue your big, beautiful belt.”
MJF acknowledged the situation pragmatically, saying, “It's not personal, it's just business,” to which MVP responded ominously, “See, that's where you're wrong, Max. I do love you like a little brother, and I hope you fail in your endeavor because if you succeed, Bobby Lashley is coming for you, and it won't be business; it will be very personal.”
FTR and Big Stoke Respond to Adam Copeland
Backstage, Alicia Atout spoke with FTR and Big Stoke. Dax Harwood began by expressing frustration, stating, “As if we didn't have enough stress with the tag team tournament finals next week. Now we have you, Adam. Adam, we see right through you. We know exactly what you're doing and just remember we got this ban for your health and your wellbeing. We want Lyric and Ruby to grow up with a father. We want Beth to live life with a loving husband. Please, Adam, don't make us do this to you.”
Cash Wheeler added to the intensity, emphasizing their understanding of Copeland, “Yeah, Adam, we see through you. We know you better than anybody. We know your games. We even told Big Stoke he didn't have to be in Cincinnati next week, but he insists. Do you know why? Because he's the bigger man. Because he's the braver man. But when he's done with you, Adam, we can't be held responsible for what Big Stoke does.”
Big Stoke then stepped up to address Copeland directly, highlighting personal challenges with humor and resolve, "I can't believe at your big age you have chosen to do this. I mean, look at me. I'm not a professional wrestler. I represent the greatest tag team alive today, FTR. I'm also injured, so we see through you, Adam, you're a bully. And if you think I haven't been in a fight before, you're wrong, Adam. I'm short, I'm bald. I can't get any hoes. I've been fighting my entire life."
He concluded the segment with determination, delivering a pointed message to Copeland, “Next week, the fight continues in Cincinnati, Ohio, and I'm gonna do it because that's what my boss asked me to do, and I'm gonna do it with a smile on my face. And I'm gonna have an even bigger smile on my face when you have to go home Wednesday night and look at your wife who has the head of a micro brawler and your future juvenile delinquent kids and tell them that Big Stoke pinned you in the ring, just like that. Top guys out.”
We’re treated to another package recapping the recent tension between Swerve Strickland and AEW Unified Champion Kazuchika Okada, with the two set to square off for the title at Forbidden Door.
Swerve Strickland Is Ready to Defeat the Legendary Okada
Renee Paquette conducted an interview on the entrance ramp with Swerve Strickland, accompanied by Prince Nana, addressing his upcoming match against Kazuchika Okada for the AEW Unified Championship at Forbidden Door.
When asked about concerns regarding Don Callis potentially interfering, Swerve confidently dismissed them, stating, “Quite frankly, I don't have much to be concerned with Don Callis because he's not even gonna get to be ringside for this, being the Unified Championship rules and all. Matter of fact, the last time that Don Callis was ringside for one of my championship matches, me and my man Prince Nana here put him on his ass, and I walked away still AEW World Champion.”
Swerve acknowledged Okada’s prowess respectfully but positioned himself uniquely, asserting, “They say you're a generational wrestler that comes around once every thousand years, while I'm something that's never been seen before. There's never been a Swerve Strickland. After I'm done, there will never be another one afterwards.”
Highlighting previous encounters with Okada, he stated emphatically, “He stared me in my eye, and I saw nothing. If anything, he looked in my eye and he saw death. I put the fear of God into that man.”
Concluding with intensity, Swerve declared his intention, “I'm gonna continue my legacy by defeating the real, the literal Japanese legend. I will stand in the middle of that ring, in the middle of the O2 Arena, over the defeated body that is Kazuchika Okada. And while Don Callis cries in the corner like the little bitch that he is, I'll have my arm raised with the Unified Championship in my hand, and everybody in London, England will scream and chant my name. Whose house?”
Hangman Adam Page Lends His Support to Mark Briscoe
In a poignant backstage segment on AEW Dynamite, Alicia Atout interviewed Mark Briscoe ahead of his highly anticipated grudge match against MJF. Briscoe conveyed a stern determination, stating, “The time for words is behind us. Tonight I'm gonna do my talking with these. MJF, the Day of Atonement is here and tonight you will pay for your sins, son.”
Adding depth and history to the moment, "Hangman" Adam Page appeared, addressing Briscoe warmly: “Mark, I've known you 13, 14 years now, PWX, Ring of Honor, New Japan, and here. And I always looked up to and admired the Briscoes, but the person that you have had to be, the person that you've decided to be every day for these past few years, I might admire that even more.” Page expressed his sincere support for Briscoe's title aspirations, concluding, “So if you win tonight, and I know as good as anyone else that you can, I hope Alicia's right. I hope you are the next one to challenge for the World Championship. So tonight, good luck.”
Kris Statlander Interrupts Willow Nightingale and Queen Aminata
Renee Paquette interviewed Queen Aminata following her unsuccessful bid to challenge Mercedes Moné for the TBS Championship in the 4-Way at Forbidden Door. Aminata expressed her resolve despite the setback, stating, “Honestly, last time I faced Juicy Moné, I knew I could beat her.”
Willow Nightingale joined the interview, offering her support and encouragement to Aminata, saying, “Baby Am, so sorry, I know things did not go your way tonight, but I think you did so great. We're gonna take care of Skye and we're also gonna take care of Julia and Tekla Saturday on Collision. It's gonna be Triangle Madness. You, me, it's our time.”
Kris Statlander then entered, sarcastically embracing the camaraderie, declaring, “Just women supporting women. This is amazing. Willow, you showed up for me last week and now here I am showing up for you and you and you, and in honor of womanhood, speech, speech, speech!”
Willow responded assertively, clarifying her intentions and goals: “Do you know what's for real? You say that you've been moving on, you've focused on yourself, but you've done anything but that. I'm here to do three things: smile, win matches, and straighten out anyone who gets in the way of that. So when you're ready to take that seriously, when you're ready to do that, then you can talk to me.”
The segment concluded with Statlander throwing confetti-like material at Willow and running off.
Grudge Match Main Event: MJF def. Mark Briscoe
In an intense AEW Dynamite main event grudge match, Mark Briscoe faced off against MJF. The match immediately intensified, with Briscoe aggressively landing early jabs and underhooks, countered by MJF with a bite to Briscoe's forehead. MJF attempted multiple evasions, once even retreating through the crowd, but Briscoe persisted, landing heavy blows and utilizing the environment, notably executing a step-up blockbuster off a chair.
After a commercial break, MJF maintained control using underhanded tactics, including biting, eye rakes, and choking. Briscoe rallied back impressively with significant moves including a corkscrew elbow, Stinger splash, belly-to-belly suplex, and a Nestea plunge to the outside. Despite his injured ribs, Briscoe finally connected with his Froggy Bow, but MJF barely managed to kick out.
In a climactic sequence, Briscoe attempted another Froggy Bow through a table outside the ring. However, MJF evaded at the last second, sending Briscoe crashing through the table. Exploiting this opportunity, Friedman executed his signature Heatseeker. Despite Briscoe placing his foot on the ropes, the referee missed it, resulting in MJF controversially winning the match by pinfall.
Post-match, MJF continued his assault, delivering a loaded punch using his Dynamite Diamond Ring. "Hangman" Adam Page intervened, engaging in a heated brawl with MJF, with security struggling to separate the two. The chaotic scene concluded with MJF retreating as Page checked on the bloodied and battered Briscoe, marking a dramatic close to the evening.
