AEW Dynamite returned on September 2, 2026, following the highly praised All Out pay-per-view, which took place in Allen, Texas. The episode was pivotal, not only for addressing the aftermath of the event but also for laying the groundwork for the upcoming matches scheduled for the next pay-per-view. With Will Ospreay crowned as the new AEW World Champion and notable debuts from Austin Creed and Kofi Kingston, the night was filled with excitement and anticipation.
The show opened with a recap video highlighting the significant moments from All Out, before transitioning to the ring where Ospreay addressed the audience. He expressed his gratitude for the support he has received throughout his career and acknowledged Kenny Omega as one of the best wrestlers in the world. Ospreay noted their competitive history, stating they are now tied in their encounters, and invited Omega to settle their rivalry once and for all. The emotional speech reflected Ospreay's journey and the weight of his new title.
As Ospreay continued, he was interrupted by Ricochet, Toa Liona, and Bishop Kaun, who reminded him of their unfinished business. Ricochet congratulated Ospreay but also demanded a title shot, highlighting the intertwined fates of these competitors. The tension escalated when Gabe Kidd and Clark Connors joined the fray, leading to a chaotic scene that culminated in Ospreay proposing a tag team match to settle the disputes.
The night also marked the AEW debut of The New Level, consisting of Austin Creed and Kofi, who successfully defended their AEW World Trios Championship against The Rascalz. Following their victory, The Young Bucks confronted them, setting the stage for future confrontations over the tag team titles. Their rivalry with FTR and the involvement of Adam Copeland and Christian Cage added layers to the ongoing storylines.
In another highlight, Darby Allin retained his TNT Championship against Mark Davis, but not without controversy. After the match, Allin faced an attack from Trent Beretta and Rocky Romero, leading to a surprising save from wrestling legend Steven Borden. The segment concluded with Josh Alexander making a dramatic return, attacking Borden and leaving the audience eager for more developments.
Mercedes Moné, the newly crowned AEW Women’s World Champion, took to the ring to celebrate her victory and reflect on her journey. Her remarks emphasized the significance of her title win, as she became the first wrestler to hold world titles in four major promotions. Moné's celebration was interrupted by Thekla, who hinted at future confrontations, adding intrigue to the women's division.
In the main event, Ospreay teamed up with Andrade El Idolo and others to face off against a formidable group of opponents, including Ricochet and Kidd.
