AEW Dynamite Results (4/29/26) Darby Retains World Title, Knight Beats MJF & More

MJF attacked Knight's injured knee following the match, but AEW World Champion ascended from the rafters like his idol Sting and laid Friedman out with a Scorpion Death Drop. Friedman gets on the microphone and once again demands another shot at the AEW World Title, Allin tells him he's not getting a rematch until he puts something on the line before declaring that if he survives Brody King tonight, he'll give Kevin Knight a title shot next week.

Brody King comes out and tells Allin he won't survive tonight and tells Knight he'll be facing him next week for the AEW World Championship. Backstage, Cope and Cage accept FTR's stipulation of an I Quit New York Street Fight at Double or Nothing. If they don't win, they can no longer team in AEW.

In women's tag team action, The Brawling Birds made quick work of Emily Jaye and Jordan Blade. Afterward we hear from Thekla and Skye Blue backstage, it sounds like their rivalry with The Brawling Birds is far from over.

From there, the second title match of the evening took place when Kazuchika Okada defended the AEW International Championship against Ace Austin of the Bang Bang Gang. The finish of the match saw Okada hit Austin with the Rain Maker to score the pinfall victory.

After the match, Konosuke Takeshita came out on the stage and had a stare down with Okada as he did the belt motion around his waist. They will face off for the title next month at Double or Nothing. This was followed by another Bandido vignette revealing that Swerve Strickland is hunting the Ring of Honor World Champion.

We see progression in the current storyline between Will Ospreay and the Death Riders, where it appears Jon Moxley will train Ospreay and turn him into some kind of weapon. But is this Ospreay's ultimate goal to get back at Moxley from within? We'll find out soon enough.

Adam Copeland and Christian Cage teamed up for the first time on Dynamite this evening, picking up a victory over RPG Vice. FTR attempted to get involved at ringside, but were thwarted by The Conglomeration. Backstage, Chris Jericho once again gets beaten down by The Demand.

Up next, the women's tag team division was once again on display as Divine Dominion had another successful defense of the AEW Women's World Tag Team Titles against Hikaru Shida and Kris Statlander. There's a backstage confrontation between Andrade El Idolo and MJF, but cooler heads prevail thanks to Don Callis. This was followed up by RUSH making quick work of Steven Fuerte.

Backstage we hear from The Opps. Samoa Joe tries to make a case for Will Ospreay to join them instead of The Death Riders.
