AEW Dynamite 4-15-26 - Darby vs. MJF for the World Title

 

Second full day on the floor and wow, I got three leads out and it felt great! Would've gotten more, but we can only setup appointments for homeowners, so that nixed 2 of them but DANG! Awesome day of feeling good, healing, and feeling hopeful. MJF chats with Renee about BEATING DARBY TWICE WITH A HEADLOCK TAKEOVER and he buries the OWA and Omega. Don and MJF chat and MJF loves Don but he keeps avoiding Renee and Renee tells him that DARBY GETS A SHOT TONIGHT! Right now! Darby says he's ready and he's taped up posters for this match and his career started 10 miles down the road at the Buddy Wayne Academy. Boy is it surreal to see that in 2026 on global TV.

Danielson says that MJF will have time to prepare FOR THE MAIN EVENT. AND IF MAX REFUSES, HE'LL BE STRIPPED OF THE TITLE! Cool post-Dynamite bit with Kenny and Ospreay helping lift each other's spirits and it feels like Omega will pass the torch to him.  Ciampa is out to face Dezmond Xavier. Good stuff outside the ring and Ciampa gets a long chinlock. Driving knee wins it and he wants it all and whoever wins the match tonight HE'S COMING FOR THEM!

A HEADLOCK TAKEOVER VIDEO PACKAGE! FTR is out and BIG STOKE brags about everyone they've beaten AND THEY GIVE US A 10 SECOND POSE! Also, Willow faces Kamille for the TBS and Knight faces Claudio for the TNT later! Claudio locks on THE BLACKTOP BULLY'S FINISH ON KEVIN KNIGHT! Avalanche neutralizer is turned into an uppercut into a rana and then the UFO wins it!

Jericho is out and Ricochet hypes up the RISE OF RICOCHET and it being time for Jericho to quit while he's ahead and since he loves reinvention, we'll turn him into the guy the Demand beats up every week. RICOSAULT after a brawl! DCF falls apart with Okada and Takeshita. Hechi destroys Will's neck and Doc Sampson wants to stop it, but they won't. Hechi is A COMPLETE DICKHEAD during the break kicking away at the neck. Hechi WARBLES AND WAVES and hits an elbow to the neck after the slicing neck snap. Styles Clash wins it and THEKLA RULES AND THE BUSINESS IS FULL OF DUMB BITCHES! Maybe Windsor vs. Thekla on Collision! 

Mox talks about NICK WAYNE since he's facing him in an eliminator! Willow vs. Kamille is up and Kamille gets a cross armbar but she gets stacked for 2. BACKSLIDE WINS IT THANK GOD AT 9:52! Kris and Shida team tomorrow and Shida is in the most ridiculous outfit in history. MJF vs. Darby is up NEXT AND IT'S COMMERCIAL-FREE!

Nick gets a diamond dust on the floor on Takeshita! A bunch of batshit insane stuff happens until Okada steals their gear and does goofy shit. THE OKADAPOWERS EXPLODE and the Bucks win after Takeshita allows a Metlzer driver!

DARBY GETS A FLASH CRADLE AND WINS IT!

RUSH vs. Bowens time! Rush works stiff and Bowens works just as hard with him on the outside and chops away hard. Cool, it looks like the PPV starts at 7PM so I should be able to watch the whole thing live after work. Stiff forearm exchange mid-ring before a draping Velveteen DDT for 2.5. Bowens avoids the horns and hits a chop, forearm shot and gets 2. RUSH GETS A GERMAN AND A BASEMENT DROPKICK! RUSH HITS HIM WITH THE HORNS and wins it. THIS RULED!

Harley and Mina chat about lost partners and drown their sorrows. "Bottoms up - TOPS DOWN!" Young Bucks on Collision!? And against Hechicero with the CMLL World title and also El Clon. Double team offense by the Bucks with an assisted X factor getting 2 and the tale is told about this being more to hurt the Bucks than pure victory.

NXT Stand and Deliver 4-4-26

 

HBK starts the show coming out in this shitty looking building and three people chant HBK while Sexxy Red comes out to no reaction and Booker T annoys the shit out of the world. After 200 years, Lola vs. Kendal vs. Jacy begins - only a minor exaggeration there as it's 7:18 before it starts. Nice PK from Jayne to Kendal. Lola double assalanches everyone twice.

Tater eats the glamour shot and hits her finish to win. Darkstate bickers.

NXT Title time and it feels like Page wins it. Everyone just avoids and hits finishers for a while. Tony gets a sea of German suplexes before eating a floating DDT from Hendry.
