The first television special of the year, AEW Dynamite: Maximum Carnage, is being hosted live in the Arizona Financial Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona, and it is set to be a highly entertaining episode.

The show is set to be main-evented by MJF’s first defense of the AEW World Championship as he takes on the winner of the Dynamite Diamond Ring, Bandido.

Former World Champion, Kenny Omega, is also set to make his return to the promotion tonight after being missing in action for almost the past month, as he sets his sights on the biggest prize in the promotion.

Apart from these two big interactions, the night is also scheduled to feature a four-way clash to become the number one contender for FTR’s World Tag Team Championships and many more exciting segments.

Darby Allin takes on Pac to open the night in Arizona

Pac asked the Death Riders to let him go alone for the match as he said he’d handle things himself. Darby Allin jumped Pac even before the bell could be rung, and the two wrestled all the way through the crowd.

Allin dominated the fight on the outside and even hit a Coffin Drop from the balcony in the arena before the two headed back to ringside, where Pac gained some momentum by sending Allin into the barricade.

They finally made their way to the ring after Pac hit a Belly-to-Belly suplex on Allin into the steel steps and looked to end the match early with his huge running clothesline, but the Daredevil kicked out just in time.

Pac dominated the entire match since the bell was rung and just inflicted pain on Darby Allin at every opportunity. He hit an awesome bomb on Allin from the ring to the ramp, as the Daredevil made it back to the ring just in time to beat the countout.

Darby took advantage of Pac’s ankle injury resurfacing during the match and turned the tide in his favor. He cornered Pac in the ring and took out the referee in the process of taking Pac out.

With the referee out, Pac tapped out, but it didn’t count, and that prompted Wheeler Yuta to come to the ring with a steel chair, but Allin took him out. He used the chair to wrap it around Pac’s ankle and hit a Coffin Drop to smash his ankle, before trapping him in the Scorpion Death Lock to tap him out, and finally defeated every member of the Death Riders.

Bryan Keith Takes on Hangman Adam Page

The Bounty Hunter, Bryan Keith, answered Samoa Joe’s bounty on Hangman Page and took on the former AEW World Champion as he looked to take him out with Big Bill by his side.

Keith took the fight to Hangman Page and dominated him in the early proceedings of the match. Big Bill made his presence known from outside, attacking Page while Keith distracted the referee.

Hangman and Keith matched each other in the ring as they seemed to have the other’s moves. They were evenly matched for much of the match, but Keith maintained the advantage with a Belly to Belly into the turnbuckle.

Big Bill looked to take out Hangman on the outside, but Swerve Strickland came to Page’s aid as he took out Bill by choking him out with a steel chain. This allowed Page to take advantage of the situation, and he hit a Buckshot Lariat on Bryan Keith to get the win.

Hangman Page takes the mic following his match

Hangman Page called out Samoa Joe following his match and stated that he will take everything away from the former World Champion, before handing the mic over to Swerve.

He addressed MJF and said that if he retains his AEW World Championship tonight, both Swerve and Hangman will come for him and the World Championship.

Kenny Omega returns to AEW!!!

Just when it seemed like Swerve and Hangman were set to depart the ring, the Cleaner’s music hit and Kenny Omega made his return to the promotion, filling the ring with another former World Champion.

He said that he has to prove to everyone, and himself, that being called the ‘God of Professional Wrestling’ meant something to him, and reiterated that he’s going after the top prize in the promotion, regardless of who he faces.

Hangman Page left Kenny in the ring and told Omega that if they cross paths in their respective hunts for the World Championship, may the best man win.

Don Callis Family interrupts Kenny Omega

Don Callis came out with Josh Alexander, Lance Archer, and Rocky Romero to the ramp and asked Kenny to wrestle Alexander before heading for the World Title.

Omega stated that he accepts the fact that he has to wrestle matches before getting to his title shot, and agreed to take on Josh Alexander tonight, but Don Callis refused Kenny’s challenge.

Instead, he set the match up for next week, allowing him time to prepare something special for his former client.

Brody King squashed Jonathan Cruz in the ring

Jonathan Cruz hasn’t had a good time on AEW Dynamite in 2026. He was taken out by Bandido last week, and tonight, his tag team partner, Brody King, squashed him in the ring in less than a minute.

He hyped his tag team partner ahead of his World Title match with MJF, and said that it would be an honor to stand in the ring with Bandido as AEW World Champion.

Four-way Tornado Tag Team Match is up next!!

The four-way tag team match sees Jake Doyle and Mark Davis of the Don Callis Family face off against JetSpeed, GOA, and the Young Bucks, with the winner of the match getting a shot at FTR’s tag team titles.

The match was off to a fast start as the faces took out the heels to take on each other in a high-flying mini-match before GOA and the Don Callis Family made their way back to disrupt the spectacle.

As the action proceeded to the outside, Nick Jackson took everyone out with a dive from the ring as they looked to take control of the match. JetSpeed and the Young Bucks looked to take out Davis and Doyle, but instead, they took out all four of them.

It was GOA’s turn to take charge of the match as Toa Liona hit a moonsault from the ring apron to the outside, taking out JetSpeed and Young Bucks. The heels were in control of the match as they each targeted the faces one by one.

The Young Bucks then worked together to take out Doyle and Davis, who had been dominating much of the match till then. JetSpeed and the Young Bucks then worked in tandem to take out DCF and GOA, allowing them to fight each other.

Fast-paced action from both teams saw them take each other out as GOA took out one-half of the Bucks, but Kevin Knight broke up their pin attempt just in time.

The Bucks had a superkick for almost every individual in the match as they cleared the ring and almost got the pin on Speedball Mike Bailey. They then looked to seal the win by hitting a BTE on Kevin Knight, but Ricochet took out the referee, which sent Jack Perry flying in to take out the AEW National Champion.

GOA and Ricochet then brawled with Perry and the Bucks on the outside. Doyle took advantage of the situation and powerbombed Speedball Mike Bailey into them outside, before Davis hit a piledriver on Kevin Knight for the win.

Massive brawl breaks out following the match!!

The newly crowned number one contenders, Doyle and Davis, were confronted by the AEW World Tag Team Champions, FTR, following their match. The two teams got in each other’s faces before the DCF members pushed the champs back.

This led to a massive brawl between the two teams as security rushed out to the ring to try and separate the two teams, and managed to do so, but not before eating some right hands from both teams.

Women’s Trios match follows the chaos

The Triangle of Madness took the team of AEW Women’s World Tag Team and the Women’s World Champion, Babes of Wrath, and Kris Statlander. The feud between these two groups dates back a few weeks.

Skye Blue and Julia Hart, the Sisters of Sin, even took on the Babes of Wrath in the semi-finals of the Women’s Tag Team Championship tournament. The Triangle of Madness had the advantage, given that they’ve worked together as a trio longer than their opponents.

They dominated most of the match as they isolated Harley Cameron from the rest of her team, keeping the bout in their corner for much of the match. Cameron got away from Thekla somehow and finally managed to make a tag to Kris Statlander, turning things in their favor.

Statlander almost won the match as she pinned Thekla, but it was broken up by Skye Blue just in the nick of time. The match descended into chaos from there on, as all of them took each other out.

Thekla took control of the match towards the end as she got away from Willow Nightingale. She was going for a spear on Willow, but Kris Statlander pushed her out of the way and took the spear herself, leading to the Toxic Spider scoring the win over the AEW Women’s World Championship.

MJF defends his Triple B against Bandido in the main event

Bandido looked to end the match quickly as he went for a roll-up pin to start the match before both of them proceeded to showboat against each other, before Bandido hit a Military Press Slam on the champion.

He took out MJF with a suicide dive, sending him face-first into the barricade. The Salt of the Earth then lured Bandido in and targeted his left arm to take control of the match.

Bandido turned things around for himself by overpowering MJF, and didn’t seem like slowing down as he had his eyes set on the AEW World Championship. His left arm gave him trouble at times, but he powered through with his dives and flips.

He took out MJF with a suicide dive and then stopped him from leaving by hitting a crossbody from the top turnbuckle to beyond the barricade in a truly spectacular moment.

He brought the fight back in the ring and almost won the title after hitting a Reverse Hurricurrana and Code Red, but MJF kicked out at the last second.

Both men were exhausted by what has transpired in the ring tonight but Bandido still managed to hit a Shooting Star Press from the top rope on the AEW World Champion, but he was still able to kick out.

The ROH World Champion ultimately hit the X Knee on MJF and followed it up with the 21-plex but took time in going for the pin, given the damage done to his arm. MJF got out of the pin by trapping him in a fujiwara armbar, and then transitioned into the LeBell lock, forcing Bandido to pass out in the ring, and retaining his prized Triple B.

MJF attacks Bandido following the match

The AEW World Champion took the mic following his brutal match against the ROH World Champion and appreciated his opponent. He stated that he laughed when the world said that Bandido will become a World Champion one day.

He said that following their match tonight, he can agree that Bandido will one day become a World Champion in AEW, and proceeded to take out the competition by hitting him with the Triple B in the face.

MJF assaulted his opponent and looked to add insult to injury as he tried to take his mask off, but was chased away from the ring by Brody King, who came to his tag team partner’s rescue, and the two closed out the show.
