AEW Dynamite Summer Blockbuster Preview: June 10, 2026 – Swerve vs. Brody King in Owen Cup, Jon Moxley Defends Continental Title vs. Shane Taylor, Orange Cassidy Takes On Andrade, More

AEW Dynamite: Summer Blockbuster is LIVE tonight at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT on TBS and streaming on HBO Max from the Andrew J. Brady Music Center in Cincinnati, Ohio! Jon Moxley's hometown will see him defend the AEW Continental Championship in addition to a pair of matchups in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament!

Moxley will put up his AEW Continental Championship against Shane Taylor, who demanded Moxley’s attention by jumping Wheeler Yuta near a loading dock after the Death Riders beat The Infantry and ROH Pure Champion Lee Moriarty this past Saturday on Collision. Shane Taylor Promotions contends they are the most violent group in AEW, but the Death Riders’ reputation speaks for itself. 

The Death Riders will also have PAC in action, as he and Mark Briscoe will re-align their dynamic after the two found themselves unintentionally fighting alongside each other as the Death Riders and The Conglomeration joined forces to hold off the Don Callis Family and Shane Taylor Promotions two weeks ago on Collision. Now, PAC and Briscoe go one-on-one tonight. Plus, in the first-ever singles meeting between the two, AEW World Trios Champion Orange Cassidy faces IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion Andrade El Ídolo after the challenge was made and accepted this past Saturday on Collision.

Will Ospreay is already in the Owen Hart Foundation Men's Tournament Finals at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, and tonight, Swerve Strickland and Brody King fight to join him in their Semifinal matchup, which could reach dangerous levels considering the history between the two. The Owen Hart Foundation Women's Tournament continues with Quarterfinal action, as Triangle of Madness' Skye Blue takes on Maya World, who replaces the injured Sareee.

Here's everything you need to know for Dynamite Summer Blockbuster in Cincinnati!

AEW Dynamite Summer Blockbuster Matches, Preview for Cincinnati

AEW Continental Championship: Jon Moxley (c) of the Death Riders vs. Shane Taylor of Shane Taylor Promotions

Shane Taylor Promotions have taken aim at the Death Riders over the last two weeks of Collision, and now, it’s all coming to a head tonight in Cincinnati. This past Saturday, Taylor jumped Wheeler Yuta backstage to make their proclamation impossible to ignore: Shane Taylor Promotions is now AEW's most violent faction. Moxley got the message and answered directly, granting Taylor a shot at the AEW Continental Championship, but warned him that by stepping in the ring with Moxley, Taylor will find out he’s not who he thought he was.

Tonight, it won’t be about faction warfare. Continental rules mean no Death Riders, no Shane Taylor Promotions and no interference of any kind. Moxley vs. Taylor, one-on-one in Mox’s hometown, for the AEW Continental Championship – this won’t be for the faint of heart!

Owen Hart Foundation Men's Tournament Semifinal: Swerve Strickland vs. Brody King

In addition to everything else on the line in the Owen Cup, King has made his motivation clear: Get revenge for his partner, ROH World Champion Bandido. 

Swerve attacked Bandido at ROH Supercard of Honor before beating him in their Owen Cup Quarterfinal match at Double or Nothing, and King has not forgotten it. Nor has he forgotten losing to Strickland at AEW Revolution back in March and the post-match attack that followed. Swerve, conversely, knows the path to Wembley Stadium and the AEW World Championship rather well – because he walked into All In as the AEW World Champion two years ago but walked out without the title, after losing to Bryan Danielson. This time, Strickland wants to walk in as challenger and walk out with the AEW World Title and all the power that comes with it.

Will Ospreay is waiting for the winner in the Owen Cup Finals at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door on June 28 in San Jose. Can King get retribution and punch his ticket to the Finals? Or will Swerve’s obsession with power push him to beat King again and set up a long-awaited rematch with Ospreay?

Owen Hart Foundation Women's Tournament Quarterfinal: Triangle of Madness' Skye Blue vs. Maya World

While Sareee was scheduled to make her AEW debut tonight, we learned from Tony Khan and Sareee herself less than 90 minutes before Dynamite that she unfortunately was not medically cleared and had to be replaced by Maya World. World now finds herself with the opportunity of a lifetime, although it’s not an easy draw against the chaotic Skye Blue of Triangle of Madness, who of course, has the backing of AEW Women’s World Champion Thekla and Julia Hart.

Blue made the Semifinals of the 2023 Owen Cup and told Renee Paquette on Close Up that she feels even more prepared heading into this year’s tournament. World can only be so prepared after such a late entry into the tournament, although she has faced Blue in tag action going back to late last year. Who will come away victorious and head to the Semifinals to face ROH Women’s World Champion Athena?

AEW World Trios Champion Orange Cassidy of The Conglomeration vs. IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion Andrade El Ídolo of the Don Callis Family

On Collision, The Conglomeration retained their AEW World Trios Titles against LFI, but after the match, Rocky Romero of the Don Callis Family challenged Orange Cassidy to face Andrade El Ídolo on Dynamite Summer Blockbuster, with the reminder that Cassidy has never beaten Andrade. While the two have shared the ring before, including a memorable interaction with Andrade’s pants at Playoff Palooza back in April, this will be the first time Cassidy and Andrade meet one-on-one. With their vast differences both in and out of the ring, this clash of styles should make for an excellent bout!

"The Bastard" PAC of the Death Riders vs. Mark Briscoe of The Conglomeration

There is no love lost between the Death Riders and The Conglomeration – but on the May 30 Collision, PAC and Mark Briscoe found themselves unintentionally on the same side of a brawl as the Death Riders and The Conglomeration held off the Don Callis Family and Shane Taylor Promotions. It was a brief and uneasy alliance, and tonight, these two sides return to fighting each other.

Upon returning to action last month, Briscoe immediately dove back into the heat of the battle and has been more than willing to jump into action. While the history of the Death Riders and The Conglomeration runs deep, this will be the first time Briscoe and PAC ever meet in singles competition. Nothing will be held back when these two warriors go head-to-head tonight at Summer Blockbuster!

We’ll Hear From TNT Champion “The Jet” Kevin Knight

Knight shocked the world yet again last week when he joined the Don Callis Family before a successful defense of his TNT Title against former partner “Speedball” Mike Bailey which included some timely interference from both Callis and Jake Doyle. Knight said he’s coming after the AEW World Championship, but what else will he have to say about his new alliance? We’ll find out tonight in Cincinnati!

We’ll Hear From “Psycho Killer” Tommaso Ciampa

Ever since attacking Jericho weeks ago on Dynamite, Ciampa has continued to explain all the reasons he hates Jericho and wants to end his career. Will Ciampa add to the 1,004 reasons when he speaks tonight at Summer Blockbuster?
