đïž DESK OUTRO
Ed: âFrom ROHâs precision to Stardomâs electricity, from wXwâs European fire to NOAHâs brutality and All Japanâs tradition â this week proved once again that wrestling is a global language spoken in many styles!â
Gordon: âIndeed. A most dynamic chapter across the worldwide scene, with each promotion contributing its own distinct voice to the symphony of competition.â
Ed: âFans, the spotlight swung to Sugar Land, Texas this week, and All Elite Wrestling answered with a broadcast that felt like a rocket launchâfast, loud, and pointed straight at Forbidden Door!â
Gordon: âQuite so. A most consequential edition of Dynamite, with tournament implications, championship aspirations, and factional tensions all intersecting in one evening.â
đŠ AEW Dynamite â June 17, 2026
Smart Financial Centre, Sugar Land, Texas â live on TBS/HBO Max
Opening segment â Team MJF takes shape
Backstage, MJF stood with the entire Don Callis Family, running down the list of wouldâbe challengersâ Swerve Strickland, Will Ospreay, âHangmanâ Page, Kenny Omega, and Mark Briscoeâbefore announcing his team for the upcoming 12âman Steel Cage Match at Forbidden Door: Kevin Knight, Kyle Fletcher, Jake Doyle, Kazuchika Okada and Andrade El Idolo. Andrade bristled at being volunteered, forcing Callis to smooth things over and promise glory.
Ed: âMJF treated that locker room like a draft boardâonly difference is, heâs convinced heâs the league, the commissioner, and the MVP all at once!â
Match 1: Kenny Omega vs Tony Nese
Result: Kenny Omega def. Tony Nese (pinfall)
A short, decisive showcase for Omega. Nese got a few flashes in, but this was essentially a tuneâup: VâTrigger, OneâWinged Angel, lights out. Postâmatch, TMDK and Zack Sabre Jr. confronted Omega, only for the Young Bucks and Jack Perry to back him up. ZSJ tossed Omega the mic; Omega kept it brief, essentially saying theyâd save the real fight for Forbidden Door.
Gordon: âA most efficient victoryâOmega expended minimal effort while still reinforcing his status as a premier attraction heading into Forbidden Door.â
Match 2: Jon Moxley & Daniel Garcia vs Brodido (Bandido & Brody King)
Result: Brodido def. Moxley & Garcia (pinfall)
This one was a brawl with no time to breathe. BrodidoâBandido and Brody Kingâwent strikeâforâstrike and suplexâforâsuplex with the Death Riders. Marina Shafirâs presence added chaos at ringside, but the shocker was the finish: Brodido scored a clean win, giving the former tag champs a badly needed statement victory over one of AEWâs top stables.
Ed: âBrodido didnât just hang with the Death Ridersâthey walked right into the lionâs den and left with the keys!â
Tommaso Ciampa promo
Ciampa cut a backstage promo on Chris Jericho, saying he once respected the innovator Jericho used to be, but despises the 2026 version. He challenged Jericho to show up as the man who changed the gameâor not show up at all.
Cope & Cage vs The Dogs â angle
Adam Copeland and Christian Cage ambushed The Dogs after another attempt to bully production staff, chasing them off and then cutting a promo about being veterans whoâve been humbled by teams like the New Age Outlaws and APAâand promising to âhousebreakâ The Dogs at Forbidden Door.
Gordon: âA most pointed reminder that experience, when properly applied, can be as dangerous a weapon as any steel chair.â
Match 3: Owen Hart Foundation Womenâs Tournament Semifinal
Inâring, Will Ospreay cut a promo about sacrificing his honeymoon for the Owen Hart Cup, framing the tournament as his personal World Cup. Swerve Strickland interrupted, calling out Ospreay for aligning with the Death Riders after everything they fought against together. Ospreay fired back, questioning why Swerve didnât help him in their infamous cage match and suggesting Swerve chose selfâinterest over loyalty. The tension set the table perfectly for their Owen Hart menâs final at Forbidden Door.
Gordon: âA most compelling exchangeâtwo elite competitors, each convinced the other has betrayed something fundamental, and both determined to prove their point in the ring.â
Backstage notes
Thekla warned Starlight Kid about Forbidden Door, adding more STARDOM flavor to the build.
Brodido celebrated their win and teased new goals as a reunited team.
Moxley later counseled Ospreay on managing his emotions heading into Forbidden Door.
Main event: 12âMan Tag Team Match
Team MJF vs Team Briscoe
Teams:
Team MJF: MJF, TNT Champion Kevin Knight, Jake Doyle, Kazuchika Okada, Kyle Fletcher & Andrade El Idolo
Team Briscoe: Mark Briscoe, Orange Cassidy, Kyle OâReilly, Roderick Strong, Darby Allin & Konosuke Takeshita
Result: Team MJF def. Team Briscoe
A chaotic preview of the upcoming 12âman Steel Cage Match at Forbidden Door. The bout featured extended heat on Briscoe, wild dives from Allin, heavy strikes from Takeshita, and Okada picking his spots with surgical precision. Andradeâs uneasy alliance with MJF added drama, but in the end, Team MJF stole the win, giving the champion bragging rights and psychological momentum heading into the payâperâview.
Ed: âThat main event looked like somebody shook up the entire AEW roster and poured it straight into one ringâbodies flying, egos clashing, and the champion walking out with that smirk just a little bit wider.â
Injury & absence chatter: Tomohiro Ishii was shown laid out backstage in a segment on Dynamite, casting doubt on his Forbidden Door status and raising questions about NJPW representation on the card.
âWhere are the outsiders?â discourse: Some analysis pieces have criticized the relatively light use of NJPW/CMLL talent so far in the Forbidden Door build, arguing the show feels more AEWâcentric than prior years.
Andradeâs babyface arc: Coverage continues to highlight Andrade El Idoloâs uneasy relationship with the Don Callis Family and his slowâburn shift toward a more sympathetic role.
Gordon: âA most intriguing trajectoryâtournaments shaping title pictures, alliances under strain, and a supershow looming that may well redefine several careers.â
đ THIS DAY IN WRESTLING HISTORY â JUNE 17
Ed: âYou know, partner, nights like this always make me think about how June 17 has echoed across the wrestling world â and none of these moments came from the big corporate machine up north!â
Gordon: âIndeed. A most distinguished date, marked by pivotal events across multiple promotions and eras.â
â June 17, 1995 â ECW Hostile City Showdown
Philadelphiaâs ECW Arena erupted with one of the promotionâs most chaotic cards of the midââ90s. The atmosphere was molten, the matches were unrestrained, and the show helped cement ECWâs identity as the wild frontier of American wrestling.
Ed: âThat building didnât just shake â it vibrated like a jet engine!â
â June 17, 2001 â NJPW Dominion (Osakaâjo Hall)
New Japanâs earlyâ2000s Dominion events were crucial stepping stones toward the companyâs modern resurgence. This particular card showcased the evolving strongâstyle philosophy that would later define NJPWâs global identity.
Gordon: âA most formative period â the seeds of the modern heavyweight renaissance were being planted.â
Ed: âOnly in that cathedral of lucha can a Sunday night feel like a national holiday!â
Gordon: âSo as AEW marches toward Forbidden Door, itâs fitting that this date carries echoes of ECWâs grit, New Japanâs evolution, and CMLLâs timeless artistry.â
Ed: âHistory doesnât sit still â it lives in every ring around the world, and June 17 proves it every year.â
Gordon: âIndeed. A most pivotal broadcastâone that not only advanced storylines, but sharpened the focus on who may emerge as standardâbearers for AEW in the months to come.â
Ed: âFans, All Elite Wrestling has been moving like a runaway freight train! The fallout from last weekâs chaos has only intensified, and this weekâs Dynamite delivered enough shockwaves to rattle every corner of the AEW landscape!â
Gordon: âIndeed. A most consequential stretch â champions tested, alliances strained, and several competitors making emphatic statements as the summer calendar approaches.â

Christopher Daniels Praises Young AEW Stars
“Right now, I feel like Kevin Knight is doing great work as the TNT Champion,” Daniels said during a virtual signing with K&S WrestleFest. “I feel like Thekla as the AEW Women’s Champion is an outstanding signing for AEW. She’s doing great work. She’s had some great matches in the last year. I’m a big fan of The Rascalz, all three of them. I think they’ve fit in very well. I’m glad that they’re getting an opportunity to show their best work, whether it’s singles, tags, or six-man matches. I’m a big fan of all three of those guys. They all do awesome stuff.” … “I think [Konosuke] Takeshita is one of the best wrestlers in the world right now,” Daniels added, referring to the brand-new AEW International Champion. “I was very fortunate to get an opportunity to wrestle him a couple times. I’m very happy that I got that opportunity to work with him.” … “I think Action Andretti is outstanding,” Daniels said. “I feel like he had an opportunity on TV when he first came to AEW and since that time, he’s showed up and showed out in Ring of Honor in these last couple of weeks. I think he’s got a bright future ahead of him. Zayda Steel, my protege in the Sky Flight group. Zayda is amazing. I think she’s got a long career ahead of her. I think she’s done a lot of great stuff in the short time that she’s been in Ring of Honor, AEW.” … “From day one, I think they’ve been outstanding athletes, outstanding wrestlers,” Daniels said of Darius and Dante Martin, two of Sky Flight’s other members. “Just a matter of putting it all together, getting opportunities, and breaking through to that next level. But I think Top Flight can do it.”
Backstage Update On Possibility Of Mick Foley Wrestling In AEW
“…sources also revealed that AEW President Tony Khan would be eager to book the match, but it would entirely depend on whether Foley could get himself medically cleared to compete. Foley’s health was what inevitably forced him to retire in 2012 after not being cleared to enter into a feud with Dean Ambrose in WWE, now better known to AEW fans as Jon Moxley. Foley has talked about potentially having some sort of death match with Moxley in the past, but one man who has actively pushed to wrestle Foley if he were to get cleared is the current AEW World Champion MJF, with AEW sources even noting that MJF has wanted to work a program with the WWE Hall of Famer since before he was signed to AEW.”
Bryan Danielsonâs AEW status just changed
Credit: Wrestling World
“Bryan has not officially announced his retirement from this business, but the feeling is that the chances of seeing him in action are really low. It would make no sense to put his health at risk just to chase new goals, having already proven to be one of the best performers of his generation.
Interviewed by Justin Barrasso, Danielson confessed that he is trying in every way to give himself a new chance: âIn April of 2025, Adam Copeland sent me to his physical therapist. He said the guy was a miracle worker. This guy worked on me for two days in a row, six hours each day. After the first night, I slept nine hours straight. After the second night, I slept eight hours straight. After that, I was sleeping seven or eight hours almost every night. Thatâs a game changer for how you feel.â
He continued: âI had these delusions of, âOkay, maybe I can get back and do a little bit of wrestling.â Now I see that they really are delusions, because this traveling is like⊠this is not a good idea. I hate the r-word because I was forced to retire before. I never consider myself fully retired.â
Meanwhile, All Elite Wrestling has decided to remove his name from the list of active wrestlers within the roster. A signal that certainly does not bode well for the future.”

Von Erich suffers a dislocated hip and a severely damaged right foot and undergoes over 13 hours of surgery. Von Erich would later have the foot amputated, but returned to the ring with a prosthetic foot and continued his career. To this day, there is no definitive answer as to whether Von Erich lost the foot at the time of the initial surgery, or had it amputated later (with some even saying it was removed after a failed early comeback attempt did further damage to it). Von Erich and his family would claim he had his ankle fused to account for the lack of mobility in the foot, and it was not until after his death that his family would admit that he was wrestling without a foot (although in one Las Vegas match, his boot was pulled off accidentally, and several fans saw that he had no foot).

Ware pinned the Honkytonk Man with a roll up. Although he was the WWF Intercontinental Champion at the time of the match, Honky’s title win had not yet aired on TV, so he did not come out with the belt or was announced as champion.

đ§ AEW DYNAMITE â MAY 13, 2026 (FULL MATCHâBYâMATCH REVIEW)
đ Location: Harrahâs Cherokee Center in Asheville, North Carolina.
Renee Paquette approached MJF backstage about the hair stipulation in his title match. He did not answer but looked upset as he passed a number of bald men backstage.
đ„ MATCH 1 â Bucks, Cage, Cope and Orange Cassidy vs. FTR, The Dogs and Tommaso Ciampa
A huge brawl to start the match. Enjoyable chaos! Who is the legal man, though!? A better than average match with Copeland pinning Connors. Cope may not have ever thrown a superkick before this.
đ„ MATCH 2 â Mike Bailey vs. Westbrook
Bailey against local talent that slipped on the ropes leading to a quick victory for Bailey. After The Jets victory Speedball said he wanted a shot at the World Title.
Gordon: âA most impressive showing â momentum firmly in his corner.â
đ„ MATCH 3 â Â Kevin Knight vs. Brian Cage
The Machine looked better than ever. Cage looks good against small guys because of his speed. Knight retains the TNT Title. A better than average match.
The Demand and Mark Davis reveal that Andrade and The Dogs have joined their Stadium Stampede team.
đ„ MATCH 4 â Will Ospreay vs. Ace Austin
Ospreay shows what he learned from the Death Riders. Handshakes and technical wrestling to start. Austin focused on the neck in the beginning but Ospreay started building momentum after the TV break. This was a very good match. Ospreay wins with an armbar. The Opps come out to taunt him before his Owen Hart match with Samoa Joe. Anthony Bowens and Katsuyori Shibata approached the ring but were chased off by the Death Riders.
Ed: âFans, thatâs dominance â pure and simple!â
đ„ MATCH 5 — Triangle of Madness vs. Brawling Birds and Hikaru Shida
The Triangle of Madness with a sneak attack but are quickly chased from the ring by the Birds and Shida. A very hard hitting match. Thekla gets a DQ after hitting Hayter with the belt. Shida refused to help her partner. Willow Nightengale, Mina Shirakawa and Thunder Rosa made the save. Another better than average match.
Kris Statlander wasn’t there as she was not cleared to travel. Andrade shook his hair in MJF’s face backstage. Mark Briscoe returned during a Conglomeration segment backstage.
Ed: âFans, thatâs as personal as it gets!â
Gordon: âA most combustible situation â and one that cannot be contained much longer.â
đ„MAIN EVENT– Darby Allin vs. Konosuke Takeshita
Allin has defended the title every week on TV. Takeshita’s size allowed him to punish the champ early. He tested Allin’s limits in a very punishing match. Don Callis tried to interfere but was waived off by Takeshita. Allin won after hitting a pair of Coffin Drops. Another better than average match. MJF had given Callis the Dynamite Diamond Ring to help Takeshita win. MJF came out after the match to sign the contract for the hair vs title match. He attacked Allin and was going for a piledriver off the middle turnbuckle when Kevin Knight made the save.
