AEW Dynamite came live from the Canada Life Center in Winnipeg, Manitoba on April 1, 2026. The show set the stage for AEW Dynasty on April 12 with title announcements, trios action, and more signs of long-term feuds.
Omega and MJF make Dynasty title match official
Kenny Omega will challenge MJF for the AEW World Championship at AEW Dynasty on April 12. Omega earned the title shot and kept his Executive Vice President role by defeating Swerve Strickland on last Wednesday’s episode of Dynamite.
Tonight in his hometown, Omega and MJF put pen to paper to make the Dynasty title match official. The contract signing was a key moment as both men continued to build heat ahead of the pay-per-view.
Big trios match and tag showdowns
Omega did not just sign a contract. He also teamed with AEW National Champion “Jungle Boy” Jack Perry and Brody King. They faced The Demand’s Ricochet, Toa Liona, and Bishop Kaun in a trios match on the Winnipeg card.
The trios match is part of the bigger story around factions and alliances leading into Dynasty. The result and chemistry of these teams will matter for the World Title picture and faction momentum.
Women’s division: rematches and revenge angles
Triangle of Madness members Skye Blue and Julia Hart have been chasing payback after losing to The Brawling Birds. On March 21 at the Collision Slam Dunk special, Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor beat Blue and Hart.
Tonight, Blue and Hart teamed with their stablemate and AEW Women’s World Champion Thekla. They challenged Hayter, Windsor, and Mina Shirakawa. The match continued the heated rivalry between the two trios and kept the chase for revenge alive.
Hayter and Windsor had also teamed with Shirakawa to defeat Haven Harris, Nixi XS, and Aminah Belmont on this past Saturday’s Collision. That win set up more confrontation between the groups.
Other key matches and Dynasty build
Will Ospreay will meet PAC on Dynamite before Ospreay challenges PAC’s stablemate Jon Moxley for the Continental Championship at Dynasty. The match with PAC is being billed as a final test ahead of the title fight.
These matches and segments advanced multiple storylines toward AEW Dynasty. Fans can expect title chemistry, faction clashes, and more personal grudge matches as April 12 approaches.
