AEW Dynamite Results: September 16, 2026 – Ospreay and Moxley Clash in Trios Main Event, Hangman & Brodido Earn Trios Title Shot, Willow vs. Thekla Set for All Out, More
AEW Dynamite was live from the Chartway Arena at Ted Constant Convocation Center in Norfolk, Virginia, on TBS & HBO Max just 10 days before AEW All Out in Chicago, Illinois! Dynamite gave us plenty of All Out previews with opponents in action throughout the wild evening in Norfolk!
AEW World Champion Will Ospreay and AEW Continental Champion Jon Moxley found themselves on opposite sides of a heated trios match in the main event, but in the end it was Moxley going above and beyond what was necessary to defeat Francisco Akira for the win. The beatdown continued after the match with The Dogs getting involved, and just when it looked like Akira was in dire straits, Ospreay took out Moxley and Gabe Kidd with Hidden Blades before holding the ring with AEW National Champion Andrade El Ídolo to end Dynamite!
We learned that "Hangman" Adam Page and Brodido will challenge for the AEW World Trios Championship at All Out after defeating The Conglomeration. AEW World Trios Champions Swerve Strickland and The New Level will defend against The Demand next week on Dynamite, with the winner filling the other slot at All Out. We got an unexpected preview of that match when Ricochet, Toa Liona and Bishop Kaun viciously attacked the champions and posed with the titles! Which one of those teams will walk into All Out as AEW World Trios Champions against Hangman and Brodido?
AEW Women’s World Champion Mercedes Moné is not cleared to compete at All Out but will be ready to go at AEW WrestleDream in October. We’ll find out who will face her at WrestleDream when former AEW Women’s World Champions Willow Nightingale and Thekla go one-on-one at All Out next weekend!
Plus, Tommaso Ciampa wants AEW International Champion “The Rainmaker” Kazuchika Okada at All Out and made it clear with more than just his words. Steven Borden and TNT Champion Darby Allin teamed with AEW World Tag Team Champions Cage and Cope to beat FTR and The Don Callis Family’s Kyle Fletcher and Kevin Knight. Allin and Borden will face Fletcher and Knight at All Out!
Check out what went down on a dynamic night of Dynamite from Norfolk!
AEW Dynamite Results From Norfolk
Cope Plays Peacemaker for Darby Allin and Christian Cage
Renee Paquette caught up with Cope, Allin and Borden, with Cope thanking Allin and Borden for having his back last week. He was especially complimentary to Borden for his efforts. Then, Cage walked in and began to speak to Borden:
“I’m sorry for the loss of your father’s…”
Cage and Allin cut him off, with Allin getting increasingly angry.
Cage spoke again, “I’m sorry for the loss of your father’s in-ring career.”
Allin stopped Cage again and said things aren’t over between them. Cage noted that as much as Darby is known for the TNT Title, Cage could say the same. Cope tried to ease the tension and asked if everyone was good for tonight. The answer to that was unclear as they all walked off.
FTR & The Don Callis Family Team Tonight, but What About All Out?
Big Stoke said Cage and Cope shouldn’t be worried about any other tag team other than FTR, who will walk out as AEW World Tag Team Champions at All Out. Kevin Knight reminded Stoke that the Young Bucks are also in that match. Kyle Fletcher mockingly asked if that was the same Young Bucks that they beat. Don Callis wondered if they should be in the ladder match at All Out. Stoke jumped in to say that their championship contention could be discussed after the match.
“Top guys, out.”
AEW World Tag Team Champions Christian Cage & Adam Copeland, TNT Champion Darby Allin & Steven Borden def. FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) & Don Callis Family's "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher and "The Jet" Kevin Knight
Big Stoke joined commentary for this one, although both Excalibur and Tony Schiavone said they wished Don Callis was joining them. Stoke was stunned.
Cope and Fletcher began this opening contest and faced off for the first time in a battle of generations. Cope worked Fletcher to the mat and kicked him to the floor in a bit of rage. Cope tagged out to Allin, but Cage tagged Allin, so Allin tagged back in and went after Fletcher. Fletcher tried to cut off Allin, but Allin kneed out of it and tagged Borden! They ping-ponged Fletcher back and forth, and Borden tried to control his arm, but Fletcher got back to his corner and tagged Dax. With Borden outnumbered in the wrong corner, all eight men faced off in the ring, yet cooler heads prevailed, and Borden and Dax were left to continue the match. Borden worked Dax to the corner and allowed for a clean break, but when Dax took control back, he sent Borden to the corner, and Borden leaped back over Dax to connect on a picture-perfect dropkick to get a two-count, with Cash Wheeler pulling Borden’s hair to break up the pin.
Knight held Borden on the ropes, but when Dax swung, Borden ducked, and Knight got knocked off the apron. Fletcher tried the same and also got nailed by friendly fire from Dax.
Dax chopped Borden in the corner, so Borden turned him right back around and returned fire. Borden got Dax to bail to the floor, so Allin threw hands at Dax, and he went back to the ring. That brought all eight men in the ring for a brawl! The tide turned in a big way when the Don Callis Family stopped a Coffin Drop and powerbombed Allin on the apron behind the referee’s back. They turned their attention to Cope, which set off another major brawl on the floor! Back in the ring, Cash was all over Allin, who was still in bad shape from the powerbomb.
Allin tried to make a tag, but found no one as all his teammates were knocked off the apron. Fletcher worked Allin to the apron, where Callis raked Allin’s eyes, but Allin managed to fight off Fletcher and an attacking Knight. Dax tagged in and grabbed Allin, but he leaped and tagged Borden! Borden floored everyone in sight with right hands and a dropkick for Fletcher, followed by a beautiful back body drop to Knight and another dropkick that sent Knight over the top to the floor! Even Stoke had to compliment the second-generation talent!
Dax broke free of Borden by ramming him into the corner. He chopped Borden and put him on the top turnbuckle. Dax went up to meet him, so Borden punched Dax back to the mat with the crowd chanting “STEVE” on every connection! Cash crotched Borden on the top rope and was able to avoid a spear attempt by Cope, who caught a thrust kick from Fletcher. Cage tried to get Fletcher with an Unprettier, so Fletcher pushed Cage into Cash, who launched Cage over the top to the floor. Allin came back and hit a quick combo on Fletcher, but when he went for a springboard Coffin Drop, Fletcher caught it and folded Allin with a half-and-half suplex. FTR and the Callis Family each went to the top rope in a corner, with Dax bringing Borden down with a crashing superplex! Cash followed with a splash to complete Power and Glory, although that wasn’t enough, with Fletcher adding an elbow drop and Knight finishing it all with a UFO Splash! Dax covered Borden, but Allin and Cope came in to break it up!
With fights continuing on the floor, Dax was left with Borden, who nearly stole one with an inside cradle. Dax was not happy with Borden and dropped him with a three-shot combo. Dax picked up Borden’s legs for a Scorpion Death Lock, but Borden kicked out of it, and Dax wound up in the ropes right into a chair shot from Cage! The referee never saw it, as he scampered away to avoid Dax. Knight tried to springboard down onto Borden, but he moved, and Cope speared Knight out of midair! Borden grabbed Dax for a Scorpion Death Drop as Allin went to the top for a Coffin Drop. Fletcher stopped Allin with strikes until Cage pulled Fletcher back into a reverse DDT on the apron! Cage saved Allin! Cage nailed Cash with a Killswitch on the floor! Back in the ring, Allin came down on Dax while Borden dropped him for a Coffin Death Drop! Borden covered Dax to get the win for his team!
After the match, Cage grabbed the TNT Title and tried to celebrate with it, but Allin pulled it away and handled the proper celebrations without further incident.
Jon Moxley Understands Will Ospreay
With PAC and Gabe Kidd stewing behind him, Jon Moxley acknowledged that the AEW World Champion Will Ospreay was targeting him. He feels some type of way about it. Moxley said no one understands how hard the road has been for Ospreay like he does. Moxley said he’s hard on himself and everyone because this is a hard job. Moxley hopes Ospreay learned that from their time together, that no belt around someone’s waist automatically makes them the best. What Ospreay did at Wembley Stadium will inspire generations, but it wasn’t about holding something; it was about what he could become and what he was becoming before our eyes. Mox never asked Ospreay to follow him. He wanted Ospreay to lead. Moxley acknowledged this was always heading this way, so at All Out, when Ospreay looked across the ring, he had to know that Mox was his responsibility. Mox said PAC and Kidd just think they should tune Ospreay up in the parking lot. Kidd said why wait until the PPV and then described some very disturbing ways to punish Ospreay. PAC said it’s always Death Riders against the World, including United Empire, and tonight, they won’t let Ospreay off the hook. PAC said that while looking right at Moxley, who didn’t provide much of a response.
That brought us to a look at the rivalry between AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions The Brawling Birds and their All Out opponents, “Megasus” Megan Wayne and “Colossal” Lena Kross, who they’ll meet in a Chicago Street Fight. Tonight, Alex Windsor and Kross go one-on-one!
Jericho def. Nick Wayne
Jericho was serenaded by the Norfolk crowd, and they continued to chant for him at the bell. Wayne wasn’t fazed and took Jericho down first. Wayne did it again with an arm drag and begged Jericho to show him something. Jericho answered with a body slam. Wayne got up and spit in Jericho’s face. Jericho chopped Wayne to the mat and continued the barrage in the corner. Wayne crawled to another corner, so Jericho sent him to the opposite side. Wayne tried to reverse it, so Jericho caught him with a boot and a running bulldog. Jericho tried a Lionsault, but Wayne stopped him and threw him to the mat by his hair!
Wayne threw punches at Jericho, but Jericho came back with a butterfly backbreaker. Jericho lifted Wayne back up for a delayed vertical suplex. Jericho put his foot on Wayne for a cocky pin, so Wayne kicked out. Wayne raked Jericho’s eye and caught him with a thrust kick. On the apron, Wayne threw strikes at Jericho and pleaded with Jericho to show him something. Jericho tried to punch back, so Wayne took control back and tried a Spanish Fly, only for Jericho to block it and drop Wayne on the apron with a Death Valley Driver! Jericho tried to send Wayne into the steel steps, but Wayne reversed it and Jericho crashed hard. Wayne jumped off the steps and spiked Jericho with a Canadian Destroyer!
Wayne was able to keep control for the next few minutes until Jericho started battling back with chops and a back body drop. Wayne was clotheslined over the top to the floor and tried to get right back in, but Jericho shut him down with a dropkick. Jericho went to the top and crashed down onto Wayne with a huge crossbody! Jericho chopped Wayne on the apron and tried to lift him up, so Wayne blocked it and hit a thrust kick to Jericho’s jaw. Wayne quickly went to the top rope and smashed Jericho with a senton bomb onto the apron! Wayne took too much time capitalizing, which allowed Jericho to counter Wayne off the top rope with a Codebreaker! Wayne kicked out to stay alive!
Back on their feet, Jericho chopped Wayne, but Wayne countered with a stunner and a standing Sliced Break to get a near-fall! Wayne was frustrated, but turned his attention back to Jericho for a roundhouse kick. Jericho ducked and pulled Wayne to the mat for Walls of Jericho. Wayne grabbed the referee’s leg to stop Jericho and spun out. Wayne hit a thrust kick to send Jericho to the corner. He charged in, so Jericho flipped him around and put Wayne on the top rope for 10 punches and an avalanche hurricanrana! Jericho clotheslined Wayne in the corner and put him back on the top rope for another set of punches and another avalanche hurricanrana. Jericho went for a Judas Effect, but Wayne ducked and caught Jericho with Wayne’s World! 1-2-Jericho kicked out! Both men remained down as the crowd cheered in approval of the outstanding match they were seeing.
Jericho and Wayne fought up from their knees, but Jericho wound up pulling off Wayne’s puka shell necklace he recently made fun of, and it fell apart! Wayne was incensed and charged at Jericho, but Jericho grabbed him from behind, only for Wayne to reverse that. Jericho tried to roll through it and into a Walls of Jericho, but Wayne was ready for it and spun his body around on the mat. Jericho never let go of Wayne’s legs, so he just sat on top of Wayne to trap him for the pinfall victory! The resourceful Jericho wins!
Wayne tried to fix his necklace as Jericho celebrated the win. Jericho called to Wayne, and Wayne complained about the necklace. Jericho said he didn’t care and extended a hand to Wayne. Wayne stayed on the mat and refused the handshake. Jericho went to leave, but Wayne got back up and kicked the middle rope as Jericho stepped through! With Jericho down on the mat in pain, Wayne mounted him with the necklace wrapped around his hand and rained down punches on Jericho. Wayne got a steel chair and smashed it across Jericho’s back multiple times to leave him in a heap. Wayne posed over Jericho and left the ring, covering his ears, as the crowd chanted, “Where’s your mom?”
Mercedes Moné Not Cleared for All Out, Willow Nightingale vs. Thekla Set for #1 Contendership Match
AEW Women’s World Champion Mercedes Moné is not cleared to compete at All Out in 10 days, but she will be cleared to compete at AEW WrestleDream in October. At All Out, former champions Willow Nightingale and Thekla will meet one-on-one, with the winner moving on to face Moné for the AEW Women’s World Title at WrestleDream. We heard from both Nightingale and Thekla. Nightingale pointed out that it was Moné who broke her hand leading into All In: London, and Nightingale broke Moné’s nose to knock her out of action. Thekla wondered if she was the “last real bitch alive” because she was the only one who wasn’t hurt. She said Willow faked an injury and came back to steal everything from Thekla, but then Willow blew it at All In. Willow said Thekla will learn why you never count her out.
AEW World Champion Will Ospreay, AEW National Champion Andrade El Ídolo and Francisco Akira Are Ready for the Main Event
Renee Paquette asked about the status of United Empire. Ospreay said it was looking good and after starting it four years ago, his “little brother” Callum Newman was running it and bringing in who he wanted, which is how Andrade ended up in the group. Ospreay admitted that was super awkward because Andrade is carrying around that guaranteed future AEW World Title shot contract. Ospreay reminded everyone and Andrade that whenever he wants to take the shot, they can find out who the better man is. Ospreay said he knows who that is because he has the AEW World Title over his shoulder.
“Amigo, how you know?”
Ospreay laughed it off, and Andrade said tonight, they are on the same team. Francisco Akira started yelling in Italian, but neither Ospreay nor Andrade knew what he was saying, so Ospreay told him to say something in English to the Death Riders.
Akira yelled, “Let’s kick the shit out of the Death Riders!”
Ospreay apologized for the profanity and promised to pay the fine.
World Trios Championship Series (Winners Challenge for the AEW World Trios Championship at All Out): "Hangman" Adam Page & Brodido (ROH World Champion Bandido & Brody King) def. The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly and Roderick Strong)
While The Conglomeration got plenty of love from the crowd, Hangman’s reaction was massive, as a native of Virginia, where he’s never lost a match in AEW. Hangman and O’Reilly started the match and traded reversals and pin attempts with no clear advantage until Page booted O’Reilly in the head and tagged Bandido. He jumped in with an elbow across O’Reilly’s arm. O’Reilly came back with kicks and stopped a suplex with a guillotine. Bandido got out of it and hit a pair of arm drags, but O’Reilly was ready for the third and dropped Bandido with a kick. Cassidy tagged in for some unique double-team offense on Bandido. He tagged out to King, and King sent Cassidy to the corner. Cassidy escaped without harm. King did it again and tried to chop Cassidy, so Cassidy turned it into a high-five! King tried again, and Cassidy did the same. Cassidy got out of the corner, and King tried another chop, so Cassidy put his hands up to block and felt the pain. He came back with a dropkick to King and sprang back up, but King was standing behind him. Cassidy realized it and finally took a big chop across the chest.
Strong tagged in and immediately engaged King in a chop battle! King tried to take control, but Strong came back with a dropkick. Cassidy wound up coming back in, as did Bandido, but it was Bandido who dropped Cassidy to put the match back at a stalemate. Cassidy tagged Strong and Bandido tagged Page. Page hit anything that moved! He backdropped Strong and booted O’Reilly out of the ring. Strong and Cassidy were back-to-back in the corner, so Page charged in and ate a boot from Strong. Strong grabbed Cassidy and threw him into Page, but Page caught him and kicked Strong away before launching Cassidy with a fallaway slam. Page sent Strong to the apron and took him down with a springboard lariat. Page followed out with a crossbody to the floor and avoided an attacking O’Reilly rushing down the apron with another boot.
Back in the ring, Page dropped Strong with a Death Valley Driver, but Strong managed to kick out at two. Page tried to fire up the crowd, and they responded! Strong blocked a Deadeye by holding onto the top rope and broke free to tag O’Reilly, who was immediately decked by Hangman! King tagged back in and knocked OC off the apron before laying into Strong with chops in the corner. O’Reilly came in and got stacked up on Strong for more chops. Page tagged in and then tagged Bandido, who was sent to the corner only to be sent to the floor by O’Reilly. He did the same to Page, and King ate a boot when he charged to the corner. Cassidy tagged in, although King didn’t see it and knocked him off the apron.
King squished Strong and O’Reilly in the corner with a cannonball and charged up for a dive to the floor, so Strong dove back in as Cassidy dove onto King. King caught Cassidy and tossed him to the floor. He tried to crossbody Cassidy into the barricade, but Cassidy moved, and O’Reilly dropkicked King into the barricade! Back in the ring, Page booted Cassidy from the apron, but was yanked down by Strong, who dropped Page on the barricade with a backbreaker. Bandido tried to clear the way in the ring and exchanged reversals with Cassidy before hitting him with a one-armed Gorilla Press Cutter! Unbelievable! Cassidy kicked out to stay alive!
Bandido went to the top and rolled through a frog splash when Cassidy moved. Bandido blocked a spinning DDT, so Cassidy transitioned to a Stundog Millionaire. O’Reilly smashed Bandido into Strong’s grasp, and Cassidy hit Bandido with an Orange Punch! Strong dropped Bandido with a fireman’s carry slam! Cassidy covered Bandido, but King broke up the pin! Strong and O’Reilly took King down with Total Elimination, and Strong tagged Cassidy. He slugged it out with Page until Page put Strong down with a lariat. Page picked up Strong for a Deadeye, but dropped him when Cassidy came off the top with a crossbody elbow. Cassidy tried to spin around for a DDT, but wound up on Page’s back and gestured as if he was riding Hangman like a horse! Page flipped Cassidy down to the mat, so Cassidy got backup, and they went through reversals until Page jumped on Cassidy’s back and decided to ride him! Norfolk loved it! Strong took advantage with a running clothesline!
Bandido took down Strong, so O’Reilly kicked Bandido to the mat. King dropped O’Reilly and blocked Cassidy’s Orange Punch, so Cassidy tried his kicks to get out of it. Strong saved Cassidy with a jumping knee to the back of King, so he didn’t see Page coming over the top rope for a Buckshot Lariat! Page covered Strong and got the three-count! Page and Brodido are going to All Out for a shot at the AEW World Trios Titles!
Daniel Garcia Won the Butcher Battle Royale on Collision
On a night where we remembered and celebrated the life of “The Butcher” Andy Williams on Collision over the weekend, fellow Buffalo native and Williams’ close friend, Daniel Garcia won the Butcher Battle Royale to earn $100,000 for the charity of his choosing, which he selected to be MusiCares.
Tommaso Ciampa def. Myles Hawkins
Before the match, Ciampa said he wanted AEW International Champion “The Rainmaker” Kazuchika Okada at All Out!
Hawkins decided to take his time taking off his ring jacket and started to complain about any possible wrinkles. Ciampa waited long enough and wiped out Hawkins with a bicycle kick to the side of the head. Ciampa made the pin and got the easy win before walking right back out of the ring and up the aisle.
AEW World Trios Champions Swerve Strickland & The New Level Attacked by The Demand!
Tony Schiavone introduced the AEW World Trios Champions, with Swerve and Prince Nana coming out first. Creed and Kofi were hyped coming down the aisle, but everyone had their backs to the ring, so they didn’t see Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona attack from behind. Kaun bounced Creed from barricade to barricade in the aisle while Ricochet threw Swerve into the steel steps. In the ring, Creed tried to fight back on Kaun, but Liona clipped Creed’s knee and crushed him with a Samoan Drop. Kofi jumped on Liona’s back, but was thrown off and clobbered by Liona. Kaun finished off Kofi with a double underhook facebuster. Swerve came in to try to fight all three men, but he was no match for The Demand. Ricochet laid him out with a Spirit Gun, and GOA punctuated the attack with a Double Crucifix Powerbomb. The Demand posed over the champions with the AEW World Trios Titles.
Jack Perry Calls Out Samoa Joe!
Jack Perry talked about his journey to become AEW World Champion by facing former champions, and so far, he’s gotten his ass kicked twice. Perry didn’t want to wait for his opportunity, so he’s calling his shot: Samoa Joe. Perry said Joe has been gone long enough and while he might be feared and revered, that’s not how Perry feels about Joe. He invited Joe to make his day, as we saw “JOE IS GONNA KILL YOU” written on the wall behind Perry.
Divine Dominion's "Colossal" Lena Kross def. AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champion The Brawling Birds' Jamie Hayter
Kross wasted no time and nailed Hayter with a big boot before the bell to literally kickstart the match. Hayter tried to fight out of the corner with a back elbow, but Kross fought through it and unloaded on Hayter. Kross sent her to the opposite side, but missed a charge, and Hayter started throwing big shots of her own. Hayter started to mount some offense and took Kross down on the apron with a dragon screw. Hayter tried to hit a kick through the ropes, so Kross stopped her and brought her face-first onto the apron with an electric chair drop! Kross took her time with the count and ran Hayter into the barricade. Hayter fought back and sent Kross back into the ring. She took too much time getting back in herself, so Kross was able to come around and powerbomb Hayter on the aproon! That was brutal!
Kross toyed with Hayter and even mocked her with an attempt at Hayterade, but Hayter ducked it and blasted Kross in the neck with a flying clothesline. Hayter connected on a dropkick from the middle rope followed by a shotgun dropkick to the corner. Hayter came around the corner with a horizontal pendulum kick that was on the money. Hayter went up top and hit a missile dropkick, but Kross managed to kick out to stay alive. Kross escaped a Hayterade attempt and dumped Hayter on her head with a release German suplex. Hayter managed to kick out to stay alive, then nearly took the match with an inside cradle. Hayter hit a step-up kick on Kross, but Kross came right back with a neckbreaker across her knee. Hayter fired up to hit a Death Valley Driver, and both women were down!
The two fought back to their feet where Kross hit a front suplex and a running knee strike to a kneeling Hayter, who somehow kicked out to stay alive! Hayter fired back with a German suplex and running knee of her own, but this time it was Kross who kicked out to stay alive. Hayter caught Kross with a backbreaker across the knee that nearly turned into a uranage, but Kross still kicked out! Megan Bayne came out and grabbed one of the title belts, so with the referee distracted, Kross pulled a hidden pipe from under the ring and cracked Hayter with it! She finished Hayter with a Jackhammer and pinned her for the victory! Alex Windsor ran out to save Hayter with a table leg!
AEW National Champion Andrade El Ídolo vs. Daniel Garcia on Collision!
Andrade told his story of growing up around the wrestling business in a family with four generations. It’s why he can call himself the greatest generational wrestler. When he says it's his destiny to be World Champion, understand it's not just his destiny, but a culmination of generations of sacrifice, and no one can stand in the way of the destiny of “mi familia.” Andrade defends against Daniel Garcia this Saturday live on Collision!
Tommaso Ciampa Attacks Okada and Wants Psycho Killer vs. The Rainmaker
Renee Paquette asked Okada for his response to Tommaso Ciampa’s AEW International Championship challenge at All Out. Okada said, “Yes, I’ve given this a lot of thought and Tommaso Ciampa is a bitch!”
Okada smiled and went to walk away, but he was attacked out of nowhere by Ciampa! Ciampa threw Okada into some road cases before lowering his knee pad to crack Okada with a bicycle knee! Ciampa grabbed Okada’s head and yelled, “Make no mistake about it. When I said I want Ciampa vs. Okada, what I meant was I want the Psycho Killer vs. The Rainmaker…bitch.”
The Brawling Birds Have Plans for Divine Dominion at All Out
Renee Paquette tried to ask Alex Windsor and Jamie Hayter about what happened earlier, but Windsor cut her off and immediately addressed Divine Dominion. Windsor said if they like to break the rules, the good news is next week there aren’t any! Hayter said anything not nailed down is going down your throat or “up your ass!” Windsor said at All Out, Bayne and Kross are getting slaughtered!
Death Riders' AEW Continental Champion Jon Moxley, "The Bastard" PAC & The Dogs' Gabe Kidd def. AEW World Champion Will Ospreay, United Empire's Francesco Akira & AEW National Champion Andrade El Ídolo
Ospreay was the last to enter, but Moxley made a point to remain on the apron near the corner where Ospreay climbed to acknowledge the crowd, and Ospreay started a hole through him, as Moxley smirked. Ospreay and Mox elected to start the match for an All Out preview, but tagged out to Kidd before anything happened. Kidd charged right at Ospreay and bit his hand before sending him to the corner. PAC cleared the United Empire corner and went into attacking Ospreay in the corner with Kidd. Ospreay fought out and came down on Kidd with a standing sky-twister press to get a two-count.
Ospreay and Andrade took Kidd down with a double shoulder block before Ospreay put Akira on his shoulder and threw him forward for a high-angle senton. PAC charged at Andrade, who sent him to the floor. Andrade, Ospreay and Akira all hit crossbodies to the floor at the same time! Andrade found an admirer in the crowd and posed for a selfie. Back in the ring, Kidd took control of Akira and then cleared the corner again. Kidd tagged Moxley, who threw Akira to the floor. He followed out and chucked Akira gut-first into the steps. Kidd continued the assault by sending Akira into the barricade. Wheeler Yuta mocked Akira by telling him to get in the ring.
Moxley slammed Akira and tagged PAC, who covered for a two-count. Akira tried to fight back as the crowd got behind him, but PAC stopped that quickly with a nasty whip to the corner that saw Akira’s spine crumple against the turnbuckles. PAC jawed with the crowd and brought Akira to the corner to tag Moxley. Akira tried to chop Mox, so Mox dropped him with one shot and locked in a leg lock submission to continue to wear Akira down. The isolation continued for several minutes with Mox, Kidd and PAC making quick tags to keep Akira grounded. He tried to fight back by striking out of the corner. PAC tried to send him back to the corner, so Akira slid under Kidd and pulled him off the apron before nailing Mox with a swinging kick under the ropes. Akira tried to break free of PAC and finally did when he rolled through and stomped PAC in the chest!
Andrade tagged in and was a house of fire! Andrade did enough damage to PAC that allowed him to remove his pants. Andrade hit PAC with an elbow drop neckbreaker and tagged Ospreay. He booted PAC in the corner, and Andrade crushed PAC with running knees. Ospreay connected with a springboard elbow to PAC, but PAC managed to kick out. Ospreay used a succession of kicks, but that woke up PAC, and he fired back with big strikes of his own. PAC bounced Ospreay off the ropes and fired him to the mat with a high-speed release German suplex!
Moxley tagged in and grabbed Ospreay by the neck. Ospreay immediately started throwing strikes, and the two traded until Ospreay fired up and connected with a succession of blows. Moxley caught Ospreay with a choke off the ropes and tried to throw him overhead, but Ospreay landed on his feet and kicked Mox to the ropes. Mox rebounded, and Ospreay was ready for it and floated into a sitout powerbomb! Kidd made the save in the nick of time with a punch to the back of Ospreay’s head. Ospreay sent Kidd to the floor and measured Mox for a Hidden Blade, but Kidd was able to grab Ospreay’s leg so Akira tagged Ospreay and went to the top rope. On the floor, Kidd threw Ospreay into the barricade while Akira launched off to nail Mox with a diving crossbody. PAC grabbed Akira and sent him to the ropes, so Akira snapped him over with a hurricanrana. Akira booted Kidd to the floor and took out both Kidd and PAC with a moonsault from the second rope to the outside!
Mox charged at Akira, who pulled up into a kick that sent Moxley stumbling backward. Akira caught Mox with a springboard cutter, yet Mox still managed to kick out at two. Akira missed a running knee to the back of Moxley’s head and was immediately clobbered from behind by a running clothesline from Kidd. Kidd started smashing his head into the turnbuckles for some reason, so Ospreay was able to pull his head down to trap Kidd in the turnbuckles. That allowed Ospreay to hit a Cheeky Nandos Kick. PAC dropped Ospreay with a clothesline, only to turn into a big boot from Andrade, who was immediately laid out by a cutter from Moxley! Akira rolled up Moxley for a very close near-fall, so Moxley booted him in the face with authority! Moxley mockingly kicked and toyed with Akira, who tried to fight back and eventually beat Moxley down in the corner! Yuta got on the apron, so Akira dropkicked him back to the floor. That gave Moxley just enough time to recover with a clothesline out of the corner. He hit Akira with a Paradigm Shift, and when Ospreay tried to get in to help, Kidd pulled him back to the outside and spiked him with a piledriver on the floor! Moxley hit Akira with another Paradigm Shift while PAC stopped Andrade from making the save with a poisonrana on the floor right next to the fallen Ospreay! Moxley hit Akira with a Death Rider, which was more than enough, but he still locked in a Bulldog Choke until the referee called for the bell to give Moxley the win for his team.
Moxley held the choke on after the match for an extended period until Moxley dropped him. Moxley decided to go back to the choke, so Andrade kicked Moxley off Akira. Yuta came in to help, so Andrade clocked him with a back elbow and clotheslined Kidd. Daniel Garcia tried to make it in, but was wiped out by Día de los Muertos! Andrade had no time to celebrate because he was attacked by the rest of The Dogs, David Finlay and Clark Connors! They held Andrade for PAC to hit a running boot on Andrade that sent him to the floor. Moxley seemed fired up by the proceedings and grabbed a chair from the floor, which he handed to Kidd. Kidd put the chair on Akira’s head and neck, but Ospreay got back in the ring to stop Moxley with a Hidden Blade! Connors and Finlay avoided Ospreay, but he caught Kidd with another Hidden Blade! PAC was laid out as well, so Ospreay grabbed a chair to hold the ring with Andrade, as they protected the wounded Akira. The Dogs and Death Riders regrouped on the floor while Ospreay and Andrade checked on Akira. Moxley and company exited through the crowd as Ospreay stared them down from the ring as Dynamite came to a close in Norfolk!
AEW Collision will be LIVE COAST-TO-COAST this Saturday at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on TNT and HBO Max from Charleston Coliseum in Charleston, West Virginia!
