AEW Dynamite emanated live from the Rio Rancho Events Center in Rio Rancho, New Mexico on Tuesday, June 24, 2026, with Forbidden Door just four days away and nearly every match carrying significant implications for Sunday’s card in San Jose.
The opening contest saw the Death Riders — AEW Continental Champion Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, and Claudio Castagnoli — take on the team of Brodido (Brody King and ROH World Champion Bandido) and CMLL World Light Heavyweight & Trios Champion Místico. The match featured an early preview of the Forbidden Door Continental Championship bout when Bandido called Moxley into the ring. Brody King delivered several standout moments, including a breathtaking double armdrag off the ropes to Moxley and Castagnoli, and the crowd was on its feet. Ultimately, with Shafir causing a timely distraction from ringside, Castagnoli cracked King with the AEW Continental Championship belt behind the referee’s back, allowing Moxley to get the pin.
In TBS Championship Survival of the Fittest qualifying action, Marina Shafir suffered an upset loss to Harley Cameron, and Queen Aminata defeated ROH Women’s World TV Champion Red Velvet to also earn a spot. That leaves just one of the six qualifying slots remaining before the match takes place next week on Dynamite.
Will Ospreay picked up a victory over ELP, and in the following match, Swerve Strickland defeated Death Riders member Daniel Garcia. After the bell, Strickland attempted to inflict more punishment, prompting Ospreay to run out for the save — but Strickland still managed to land a Vertebreaker on Garcia before retreating. Both Ospreay and Strickland now head into the Owen Hart Foundation Men’s Tournament Finals at Forbidden Door with wins in hand.
Zack Sabre Jr., accompanied by TMDK stablemates Mikey Nicholls and Bad Dude Tito, defeated Jack Perry, and the Young Bucks followed with a win over TMDK’s Nicholls and Tito in tag team action.
In the main event, AEW International Champion Konosuke Takeshita successfully defended his title against Ricochet, weathering everything his challenger had to offer before securing the win ahead of his steel cage appearance at Forbidden Door as part of Team Briscoe.
Dynamite closed with chaos as MJF attempted a sneak attack on Mark Briscoe, setting off a full-scale brawl between Team Briscoe and Team DCMJF. The teams traded the upper hand until MJF accidentally struck his own partner Andrade El Ídolo with the Dynamite Diamond Ring. Briscoe capitalized immediately and planted MJF with a Jay Driller as the show went off the air.
