The Young Bucks vs. Konosuke Takeshita & Kazuchika Okada

The pay-per-view kicked off with an explosive tag team contest as The Young Bucks took on the formidable duo of Konosuke Takeshita and Kazuchika Okada. From the opening bell, the match showcased a high-energy blend of technical wrestling, fast-paced counters, and signature double-team offense from both sides.

Nick Jackson and Takeshita started things off, with Takeshita quickly asserting his power advantage through shoulder tackles and physical offense. Okada tagged in early, and the Takeshita-Okada pairing displayed strong cohesion, working together smoothly with tandem moves and quick tags to keep control.

However, the Bucks soon shifted momentum in their favor, utilizing their trademark speed and precision. They isolated their opponents, landing stereo offense and even taking both Takeshita and Okada out with a daring springboard moonsault to the outside.

The match continued to swing back and forth, with Okada and Takeshita regaining control thanks to hard-hitting strikes and outside interference from Don Callis, who got involved at ringside. Matt Jackson found himself in peril for a stretch, absorbing punishment including a DDT from Okada and a series of strikes from Takeshita.

After a prolonged beatdown, Matt finally created an opening and tagged in Nick, who came in with a burst of offense, delivering rapid strikes, kicks, and combination attacks that momentarily overwhelmed both opponents. The Bucks followed up with synchronized offense, including Sharpshooters applied at the same time, nearly forcing a submission.

As the match broke down into chaos, all four men exchanged big moves. The Bucks attempted the Meltzer Driver, but Okada made the save, leading to Takeshita and Okada hitting devastating piledrivers of their own for a near fall.

In the closing sequence, miscommunication began to plague Takeshita and Okada, as they accidentally struck each other multiple times during frantic exchanges. This tension reached its peak when Takeshita made a shocking decision, he halted Matt Jackson mid-attack instead of capitalizing, effectively allowing Matt to recover.

Matt immediately took advantage, delivering the Khan Driver to Okada and securing the three-count for the victory.

Following the match, the partnership between Takeshita and Okada appeared to completely unravel, as Takeshita punctuated the moment by flipping Okada off.

Winners: The Young Bucks

Chris Jericho vs Ricochet

The second match of the night at AEW Dynasty saw the long-awaited return of Chris Jericho, who stepped back into the ring for the first time in 375 days to face the high-flying Ricochet.

A pre-match video package highlighted Jericho’s legacy and absence, as well as Ricochet’s recent dominance alongside The Gates of Agony. When the show returned live inside Rogers Arena, Ricochet made his entrance first, flanked by his imposing allies, immediately setting a tense tone.

Moments later, “Judas” by Fozzy hit, and the crowd erupted. Jericho emerged in his signature purple gear, soaking in a thunderous ovation as the audience sang along to his theme. The energy in the arena was electric before the match even began.

Once the bell rang, the crowd continued to dominate the atmosphere, chanting “Jericho!” and “You still got it!” after the very first lock-up. Jericho leaned into the moment, even pausing to mock Ricochet’s bald head, at one point blatantly pointing it out on camera, showing he hadn’t lost his flair for entertainment during his hiatus.

Early on, Jericho’s focus on the crowd allowed Ricochet to seize momentum. Ricochet fired back with sharp strikes, a boot to the face, and a Death Valley Driver that nearly ended things early. He followed up with a high-risk dive through the ropes, sending Jericho crashing into the barricade and steel steps on the outside.

Back in the ring, Ricochet methodically targeted Jericho’s arm, keeping the veteran grounded. With the referee distracted, The Gates of Agony inserted themselves into the match, giving Ricochet an advantage. Despite this, Jericho fought back with body shots, a springboard Lionsault, and even attempted to lock in the Liontamer, but Ricochet managed to escape.

The pace quickened as both men traded momentum. Ricochet connected with a Northern Lights suplex and later a brainbuster, while Jericho responded with a Codebreaker for a close near fall. Jericho also showcased surprising agility for his return, landing a top-rope hurricanrana to the delight of the crowd.

Interference continued to play a major role. As Jericho attempted another submission, Kaun and Liona once again disrupted the action, allowing Ricochet to regain control with a knee strike and another punishing Death Valley Driver. Still, Jericho refused to stay down, kicking out repeatedly and rallying the fans behind him.

In a chaotic sequence late in the match, Jericho finally neutralized The Gates of Agony, taking out Kaun with a devastating Judas Effect and sending Liona crashing into the barricade. With the numbers game temporarily evened, Jericho looked poised to finish things.

However, the advantage didn’t last long. Liona re-emerged and drove Jericho into the steel steps, weakening him just enough for Ricochet to capitalize. Back in the ring, Ricochet soared off the top rope with a Shooting Star Press, but Jericho incredibly kicked out at two, drawing a huge reaction.

Sensing the moment, Ricochet quickly followed up with his devastating Spirit Gun, then sealed the deal with a Lionsault of his own, ironically using Jericho’s signature move, to secure the victory after an intense and interference-filled battle.

Winner: Ricochet

The fight spills into the crowd, where Allin counters with high-risk offense, including a dropkick down the arena steps. Back in the ring, Allin builds momentum with corner splashes and a crossface submission, but Andrade survives by reaching the ropes. Andrade answers with knees in the corner and a moonsault, though Allin narrowly kicks out.

The match intensifies with both men trading heavy strikes. Allin hits a Scorpion Death Drop and later a Coffin Drop, but Andrade survives each near fall. Andrade responds with a spinning back elbow and goes for a finisher, but Allin reverses into a quick roll-up.

AEW Women’s World Championship – Thekla (c) vs. Jamie Hayter

The AEW Women’s World Championship was on the line as reigning champion Thekla defended her title against the hard-hitting challenger Jamie Hayter in a physical, back-and-forth contest that quickly escalated into a brutal war of attrition.

The match began at a fast pace with Hayter immediately asserting her strength, taking Thekla down to the mat and unloading with heavy right hands. She attempted to build early momentum by whipping the champion into the ropes, but Thekla cut her off abruptly with a powerful spear that shifted control in an instant. Thekla then grounded Hayter with a submission hold, trying to wear her down early, though Hayter managed to reach the ropes to force a break.

The action spilled outside soon after, where Thekla maintained her aggression. She drove Hayter into the commentary desk and barricade in succession, punishing the challenger in the ringside area. In a particularly vicious stretch, Thekla seated Hayter in a chair and blasted her with repeated strikes. However, Hayter refused to stay down, firing back with her own barrage of shots before turning the tide with stiff chops against the ring apron.

Back inside the ring, Hayter managed to gain a brief edge, dropping the champion with a suplex for a near fall. She stayed on Thekla with follow-up offense and another cover, but the champion again kicked out at two, showing resilience. As the fight spilled back to the outside, Hayter delivered an elbow strike that sent Thekla tumbling to the floor and followed her out, continuing the brawl up the entrance ramp. There, she attempted to hit a suplex from the elevated ramp edge, but Thekla countered at the last moment with a sharp strike to the midsection before spiking Hayter with a DDT.

Thekla regained control and sent Hayter crashing back toward ringside with a crossbody from the top rope to the floor. She rolled Hayter in and out of the ring repeatedly to disorient her, then returned to targeting the head with repeated kicks. Despite the punishment, Hayter fought back with determined elbow strikes, and the two traded blows in the center of the ring until Thekla once again grounded her opponent.

The champion then transitioned into a snapmare and attempted a cover with a knee pressed across Hayter’s chest, but the challenger kicked out again at two. Thekla followed up by locking in another submission hold, but Hayter gradually worked her way free, igniting another strike exchange between the two.

In a desperate attempt to wear Hayter down further, Thekla delivered a sharp slap and transitioned into a standing octopus stretch. Hayter inched her way toward the ropes and forced a break, but Thekla immediately struck again with a boot to the face. That only seemed to fuel the challenger, as Hayter answered with a headbutt and then delivered a suplex onto the apron, creating a dramatic shift late in the match.

Both competitors struggled back into the ring at the count of nine, exchanging exhausted but intense stares. Thekla quickly went for a pinfall attempt, and while she initially secured the three-count, the referee determined she had used the ropes for leverage, sparking controversy. Hayter protested the decision, arguing the illegal pinfall, as Thekla retreated still holding onto her championship.

Winner (and still AEW Women’s World Champion): Thekla

AEW Continental Championship – Jon Moxley (c) vs. Will Ospreay

The highly anticipated clash opened with a shock as Will Ospreay immediately ambushed the champion. Ospreay leveled Will Ospreay with two rapid Hidden Blades, sending Jon Moxley spilling to the floor before following up with a neckbreaker from the apron and relentless strikes inside the ring.

Moxley eventually turned the tide with his trademark brutality, countering Ospreay’s offense with a devastating Paradigm Shift on the floor. From there, the champion slowed the pace, targeting Ospreay with a sleeper suplex, knee strikes, and punishing corner offense, including fish-hooking and heavy jabs to wear him down.

The momentum swung wildly as both men traded elbows and counters, with Moxley repeatedly trying to lock in the Bulldog Choke while Ospreay hunted for the Hidden Blade and OsCutter.

As he attempted to set up a Tiger Driver, his arm gave out, giving Moxley an opening. Moxley capitalized viciously, biting Ospreay and driving him into the steps with a piledriver on the outside.

Back in the ring, Ospreay barely beat the referee’s count, only to be overwhelmed. Moxley landed two Paradigm Shifts and sealed the bout with the Death Rider.

The show transitions straight into another title clash as the AEW World Trios Championships are on the line. A pre-match video package highlights the heated rivalry before we cut to a unique entrance setup resembling a lived-in apartment.

Orange Cassidy is already lounging casually on a couch. Roderick Strong stands behind him, arms folded, focused. The door swings open and Vancouver’s own Kyle O’Reilly enters, completing The Conglomeration. The crowd erupts as the trio make their way to the ring.

The champions arrive next, The Dogs, who immediately trash the apartment set on their way out, adding chaos before the bell.

David Finlay and Kyle O’Reilly begin. Finlay grabs a wrist lock, but O’Reilly smoothly counters into a side headlock. O’Reilly drops him with a shoulder tackle, but Finlay answers with a stiff stomp attempt. O’Reilly nearly locks in a kneebar, but Finlay escapes with a sharp kick to the face.

Connors levels Cassidy with a brutal spear on the apron, and Finlay throws him across the ring.

Finlay traps Cassidy in a rear choke, but Cassidy fights out with elbow strikes. Finlay responds with a throat strike and tags Connors, who unloads with corner stomps and a suplex for a near fall.

Connors drives Cassidy into both corners with shoulder tackles, but on a third attempt Cassidy slips out and finally tags in Roderick Strong.

Strong explodes into the match, hitting backbreakers on Connors and Finlay, then launching Cassidy into both men in the corners. Cassidy follows up with a DDT on Finlay, and Strong adds a gutbuster to Connors for a close two count.

The Dogs rally again with double-team pressure in their corner, but Strong breaks free and fires back with sharp strikes. Finlay briefly regains control, kicking Cassidy off the apron, but Strong retaliates with stiff kicks to both Finlay and Connors.

Chaos erupts again as O’Reilly re-enters the fray. He delivers precise strikes to Connors and snaps off a dragon screw in the ropes to Finlay, then another to Connors. Strong adds a knee strike to Finlay at ringside, and Cassidy caps it off by blasting Finlay with the Orange Punch outside the ring.

Back inside, Connors is left alone. O’Reilly locks him down, and after sustained damage, Connors has nowhere to go, he taps out.

It was time for the main event, and the atmosphere felt massive as Kenny Omega made his signature, high-energy entrance to a thunderous reaction. Moments later, the reigning champion MJF followed, dressed in devil-themed gear and oozing confidence as he made his dramatic walk to the ring.

After formal introductions, the bell rang and the match immediately kicked into a fast-paced exchange. Omega nearly stole an early win with a quick roll-up, while MJF responded with counters of his own, narrowly escaping a One Winged Angel attempt. The opening minutes saw both men trading momentum, with Omega’s athletic offense clashing against MJF’s opportunistic and often underhanded tactics.

The action quickly spilled outside, where Omega launched himself over the ropes and later delivered a moonsault from the barricade. He even introduced a table into the match, briefly gaining control, but MJF turned things around by slamming Omega into a chair and dictating the pace with a more brutal style.

Back inside the ring, the two exchanged heavy strikes, near-falls, and signature moves. Omega hit snap-dragon suplexes, V-Triggers, and high-impact aerial attacks, while MJF answered with an Alabama Slam, Heatseeker attempts, and relentless targeting of Omega’s head and body. Each time Omega looked ready to finish things with the One Winged Angel, MJF found a way to escape, whether through counters, eye rakes, or outright desperation.

The match escalated with avalanche attempts from the top rope and dramatic reversals. Omega finally connected with a One Winged Angel late in the match, and it looked like the end, but MJF shockingly kicked out at two, keeping his title hopes alive.

In the closing moments, chaos unfolded. MJF used the referee as a shield, landed a low blow, and attempted to use his Dynamite Diamond Ring. Omega briefly overcame the interference and hit another devastating move, but couldn’t secure the win. Seizing his opportunity, MJF struck Omega with the ring, then delivered a brutal Tombstone through a table from the apron.

Dragging Omega back into the ring, MJF followed up with the Heatseeker and scored the decisive pinfall.
