AEW Dynamite Results: July 1, 2026 – Omega Agrees to MJF’s Championship Demands, Shida Wins TBS Title, Ospreay
AEW Dynamite was LIVE on TBS and HBO Max at Viejas Arena in San Diego, California! With so much to handle coming off AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, there was no time to waste, especially with the AEW World Title and vacant TBS Championship on the line in San Diego!
AEW World Champion MJF survived everything Mark Briscoe could throw at him, including a Jay Driller, and in the end, MJF retained his AEW World Title. When MJF tried to do more damage after the match, Kenny Omega made the save and challenged MJF to face him later tonight! MJF said no, but he was willing to face Omega next week if Omega agreed that if he lost, he could never be AEW World Champion again. By the end of the night, Omega accepted and brawled with MJF before they meet next week at Beach Break!
For the first time in AEW, we saw a Survival of the Fittest match with six women battling to win the vacant TBS Title. In the end, it came down to Kris Statlander and Hikaru Shida, but Persephone, who Statlander eliminated just minutes earlier, nailed Statlander with the TBS Title to knock her out! Shida quickly put on a submission and won by referee’s stoppage to become the NEW TBS Champion!
Plus, Will Ospreay and Jon Moxley beat The Swirl, and after offering Ospreay a spot in the Death Riders following Forbidden Door, it appears as if Ospreay accepted! And Andrade El Ídolo made it clear he’s out of the Don Callis Family and wants the AEW World Title, only to be attacked by the Callis Family!
All that and so much more went down on Dynamite tonight from San Diego!
AEW Dynamite Recap Tonight for San Diego
Will Ospreay, Jon Moxley, Kenny Omega and MJF Have Words After Forbidden Door
Renee Paquette caught up with Will Ospreay and Alex Windsor after Forbidden Door and his win in the Owen Hart Foundation Men’s Tournament. Before Ospreay could explain much about the feeling of winning other than a weight being lifted off his shoulders, they were interrupted by Jon Moxley. Ospreay wanted to catch up with him, so Paquette exited, and Windsor did as well, as she didn’t seem interested in hearing what Moxley had to say. Moxley gave Ospreay an ice pack and said it was hard to come down from all of that. He asked if Ospreay was okay, and Ospreay said it was and thanked Moxley for being out there, but he had something he wanted to ask Moxley: “A few weeks ago, you said you started to see ‘it’ with me. What do you mean by that?”
Moxley paused, “Well, if I could explain that in words, I’d do that for everybody. He who defines himself can never know who he really is. Now, you wanna be the real thing? You gotta live it. Look, man. This place, All Elite Wrestling, could be something great. This is the greatest sport in the world. But this business has always been full of carnies and liars and backstabbers. Those that wear their insecurities on their sleeves. It’s like a bucket of crabs, and they all pull each other down. It’s up to us to protect this place, to preserve this craft. It’s not about this
And Moxley pulled out a Death Riders patch. “I don’t give these away to just anybody. You wanna wear this? You can ride with us. You can ride with me. Anywhere you wanna go. I’m proud of ya.”
Moxley gave Ospreay the patch and walked away. As Ospreay walked down the hallway and stared at the patch, Kenny Omega was standing there and said, “Jeez, look at you. You’re a bloody mess. Nice patch. What you did today, Will, was fantastic. That was next level shit. You have no idea how proud I am of you. You’re the Owen Hart Cup winner. 2026 Main Event of Wembley…”
Ospreay cut him off, “Ken, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you being here right now, but you’re not my dad and this situation, I can see you looking at this
Omega said he’s just looking out for Ospreay, but Ospreay said he understands. “But just because you’ve given up on yourself doesn’t mean I’ve given up on myself.”
Omega questioned Ospreay’s statement and asked who’s given up? AEW World Champion MJF came out of a different locker room and said he didn’t want to interrupt “this lovers’ quarrel, it’s so cute.” Omega said MJF is just so funny, but in a couple of days, he has to defend the AEW World Title against Mark Briscoe.
“And if you survive that, guess who’s gonna be coming to knock at your door?”
MJF looked at Omega and stepped past him to get in Ospreay’s face.
“I’ll see you at Wembley, bruv.” And then MJF left, so Omega continued speaking to Ospreay.
“Look, you’re emotional, you’re beat up. Get some rest, and I’ll see you on Wednesday. This doesn’t top what we have. You’ll always be my friend, and I’ll always care. Take care of yourself.”
Ospreay looked at the Death Riders patch one more time.
AEW World Championship Match: MJF (c) def. Mark Briscoe
After all that newsworthy conversation following Forbidden Door, it was time to focus back up on our opening contest, the AEW World Title match that Mark Briscoe earned three days ago by pinning MJF to beat Team DCMJF in the steel cage.
A huge “Let’s Go Briscoe!” chant erupted at the bell. MJF grabbed a headlock, but when he came off the ropes, Briscoe flattened him with a huge spinebuster. MJF feigned an issue with his knee coming out of the corner, but it was just a ruse to lure Briscoe into a piledriver! That got an early two-count. MJF ripped off Briscoe’s bandage from Forbidden Door and bit the wound! MJF dug his nails into Briscoe’s forehead and backdropped him out of the corner. Briscoe was pouring blood just as bad, if not worse, than Forbidden Door. MJF backdropped Briscoe out of the corner again and continued to pose as Briscoe tried to shake out the cobwebs. MJF tried a third backdrop, but Briscoe landed on his feet unbeknownst to MJF, who went to the ropes to celebrate. He turned around into palm strikes from Briscoe and then a big kick that sent him to the corner. Briscoe followed with a clothesline and threw MJF out of the corner with an exploder. Briscoe hit MJF with a senton roll and went up top, but MJF crotched him by falling on the top rope. He tried to bring Briscoe down, but Briscoe bit him in the forehead and sent him down with a headbutt. Briscoe came down with a Froggy Bow! MJF kicked out at two!
Briscoe tried to lock MJF up for the Jay Driller, but the champion whipped Briscoe down to the mat. Briscoe sent MJF to the outside and cannonballed through the ropes to take out MJF. Briscoe threw a chair in the ring and followed after it. He fired up the crowd by clapping the chair and set it up near the ropes. Briscoe leapt off the chair with a cannonball over the ropes that clobbered MJF! Briscoe pulled a table out from under the ring and threw MJF into the steel steps. Briscoe set up the table and put MJF on it before climbing to the top rope, but MJF sprang back up and threw Briscoe down onto the apron! MJF flipped the table over and put it back under the ring!
MJF continued to pick apart Briscoe and taunt the crowd, but Briscoe started coming back with strikes, and MJF made the mistake of spitting in Briscoe’s face! Briscoe unloaded on MJF and clotheslined him over the top back to the floor. Briscoe pulled up the protective mat to expose the concrete and tried a Jay Driller, but MJF backdropped Briscoe onto the cold concrete floor! MJF picked up Briscoe for a tombstone on the concrete, but this time Briscoe turned it around and bodyslammed MJF on the concrete! Briscoe got on the apron and dropped a Bang Bang Elbow onto MJF’s prone body on the dangerous concrete slab.
Briscoe brought MJF back in and planted him with a Cutthroat Driver! 1-2-MJF kicked out! Briscoe is trying to find another gear, but is clearly fighting to see through all the blood pouring down his face. Briscoe tried for a Jay Driller on the apron, but MJF fought it off, so Briscoe headbutted him to the floor. Briscoe continued to punish MJF around the ringside area and brought the table back out from under the ring! Briscoe charged at MJF, but MJF got out of the chair he was in and sent Briscoe into it with a drop toehold! MJF put Briscoe in the chair and charged at him, but Briscoe was ready with a thrust shot to cut MJF off! Briscoe came off the barricade with a blockbuster onto MJF! He put MJF on the table and climbed back to the top rope, slipping on his own blood on the way. Briscoe came down on MJF with the Froggy Bow, and the table was obliterated! Briscoe threw MJF in and covered, but MJF managed to get his foot on the rope just in time!
Briscoe pulled MJF up for a Jay Driller, so MJF pushed away and put his thumb in Briscoe’s eye. Briscoe stopped MJF’s combo with a huge clothesline and nailed another Froggy Bow from the top rope! Briscoe hit MJF with a Jay Driller! 1-2-MJF KICKED OUT OF THE JAY DRILLER FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER! Briscoe was slow to keep the attack on, but managed to put MJF on the middle rope and tried for an avalanche Jay Driller, only for MJF to gouge the eyes and get back to the mat. MJF sent Briscoe to the apron and wanted the Heat Seeker, so Briscoe knocked MJF away and leapt over the top rope for a sunset flip. MJF sat down on it to get a near-fall, and then Briscoe got one of his own. Briscoe tried another Jay Driller, but MJF stood up and dropped Briscoe with an Alabama Slam! MJF moved Briscoe to the ropes and spiked him with a Heat Seeker to get the three-count and a successful AEW World Championship defense!
MJF Gives Kenny Omega A High Stakes Ultimatum
MJF celebrated after the match, but that wasn’t enough. He put on the Dynamite Diamond Ring and smashed it across Briscoe’s face. MJF forced the medical staff out of the ring and measured Briscoe for another shot, but Kenny Omega hit the ring to make the save! MJF bailed up the ramp, and Omega got a mic. Omega told MJF that he had told him he was coming and that if he cheated his way past Briscoe, Omega was going to come knocking. Omega said he could face MJF tonight!
First, MJF insulted California and said it was bad enough he had to wrestle “that white-trash hick Mark Briscoe” and then wondered if Omega really wanted him to wrestle again. Omega said yes, so MJF said no. MJF said it was laughable that Omega thought he deserved another shot at the Triple B. MJF beat him twice and kicked out of “The World Famous One Winged Angel” like it was nothing. MJF is a fraud, not a god, so the answer is no.
MJF went to leave and turned around. “Big Hebrew just had a big idea. I’ll wrestle you next week on one condition.”
Omega said, “NAME IT!”
MJF continued, “Okay, so you wanna make a deal with the Devil, alright. This is an exploding offer, Kenneth. If I don’t have an answer by the end of the night, you will never get a shot at the Triple B. Kenny Omega vs. MJF in the main event, next week, Beach Break, if I win, the same thing happens to you that happened to your old pal, ‘Hangman’ Adam Page. If I win and you lose, you will never be able to become AEW World Champion again.”
MJF Addresses Andrade and Runs Into Will Ospreay
Renee Paquette caught up with AEW World Champion MJF and asked if MJF felt prepared to face Kenny Omega next week if Omega agrees to MJF’s demands. MJF said he’d get to that question in a minute, but first, MJF wanted to address Andrade. He said it wasn’t a good idea for “The Real Latino Man” to put his hands on “Big Hebrew.” And payback is coming, but Andrade won’t know when, and it will hit “like a ton of bricks.” MJF went back to Paquette’s question about Omega and proceeded to run down all the people he’s defeated, and it was quite a list of World Champions and future Hall of Famers. And now Omega wants to face him again? He’s 0-2 against Big Hebrew.
“Kenny, the best wrestler in the world ain’t ‘The Best Bout Machine.’ It damn sure ain’t ‘The Aerial Assassin’ Will Ospreay, bruv. The best wrestler in the world is Maxwell Jacob Friedman.”
MJF said none of this matters because Omega won’t agree to his terms, “Because Kenny Omega is literally gutless.”
Ospreay walked up to MJF and said, “Max, you better be careful. You’ll end up breaking your neck sucking yourself off like that. I have to ask one question and one question only. Why the stipulation? Why?”
“It’s because I’m the champ and you’re not.”
MJF told Ospreay he’d see his “pale ass” at Wembley.
Andrade El Ídolo Attacked by the Don Callis Family
Tony Schiavone introduced Andrade and reviewed the events that led to Andrade turning on MJF at Death’s Door at Forbidden Door. Andrade said he’s done with the Don Callis Family. It’s time to beat that “pendejo” MJF and become the new AEW World Champion.
“So, I have one question.”
The crowd said it before he could.
“HOW YOU KNOW?”
Jake Doyle, Lance Archer, Brian Cage, TNT Champion “The Jet” Kevin Knight and Don Callis ran out for an attack on Andrade. They beat him into the ring, where Brian Cage finished him off with a Drill Claw! Callis said he has something important to say! “How you know, cabron? Get this piece of turncoat garbage out of my sight because Kevin Knight has a match to win!” Cage threw Andrade out of the ring and to the floor!
Mercedes Moné Says All In is the Last Piece
“They said I couldn’t do it again, so I did it twice. The first-ever two-time Owen Hart Cup winner. Another milestone with my name on it. Another reminder that none of you are on my level. In every company I walk into, I am the conversation. Every division I step into, I raise the standard. And every woman that’s stepped across from me has learned the same lesson: ‘Dreams don’t win championships. I do.’ At All In: London, the AEW Women’s World Title is the last piece of what’s already mine.”
TNT Championship: "The Jet" Kevin Knight (c) def. ROH World TV Champion "Blackheart" Lio Rush
Knight remained in the ring after the attack on Andrade and waited for Rush to slither to the ring. Rush had a backpack and slid it towards Knight at the bell. Knight cautiously opened the bag and pulled out a black ROH World TV Championship. Knight came down awkwardly, trying to avoid Rush’s unorthodox movements, so Rush bit Knight’s knee! Rush lit up Knight with lightning-quick strikes and chops. Doyle pulled Knight out of the ring to reset, although Knight seemed thrown off his game by Rush’s tactics. Knight got on the apron, but Rush was there with a handspring kick. Rush galloped around the ring and dove through the ropes to take out Knight! Callis and Doyle went to check on Knight, but when Callis turned around, Rush was right in his face! Callis took off towards the crowd to escape, and the crowd chanted “LIO!”
Knight tried to turn things around, but his knee remained an issue throughout the match, as we saw when Knight missed a springboard and started limping even worse. Knight couldn’t get his usual height for a clothesline and wound up eating a big kick from Rush, who followed with a bounce-back stunner to get a near-fall! Rush locked in a front chancery, but Doyle pulled Knight to safety to help break the hold. Rush went up top and dove into the arms of Doyle, but slipped away and pushed Doyle into the ringpost. That allowed Knight to spring up on the apron and come down with a vicious clothesline. Knight threw Rush back in and clobbered him with a springboard clothesline. Rush countered Knight into a rollup for a near-fall, but Knight came back with a pop-up spinebuster! He picked Rush back up and finished him off with a Crash Landing to get the pinfall victory for the successful TNT Title defense!
Darby Allin is here! Allin came out to the top of the ramp with a microphone and said he has Knight’s attention now. So what is he gonna do with it? Allin wants a TNT Championship match, and if Knight says no, what happened at Forbidden Door will keep happening. Knight started this, so how is he going to finish it? Knight said he’s tired of dealing with Allin and his stunts.
“If you want a TNT Title match…”
Callis took the mic to cut him off and said he had something
