AEW has planned a huge episode of Dynamite for tonight as it hosts the first episode of the new year live from the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The final Dynamite of 2025 ended on a high note for Willow Nightingale as she defeated Mercedes Mone for the TBS Championship and created history by becoming the first-ever two-time TBS Champion.

Following her huge win, she is set for a live celebration of her newly won championship, while the night will also see the AEW World Champion, MJF, make an appearance before his big World Title defense next week.

Some major matches have already been announced for the night, including a massive Lights Out tag team match between the team of Hangman Page and Swerve Strickland and the Opps’ Hook and Powerhouse Hobbs, which makes this night even more interesting.

Jim Ross returns to AEW Dynamite!!

The first episode of the new year kicked off on a welcome note as the Hall of Fame voice of wrestling, Jim Ross, returned to the promotion for his commentary duties in his home state of Oklahoma.

He has been absent from All Elite programming since the middle of 2025 due to various health concerns, but returned in time for the opening episode of the year.

Jon Moxley gets the night underway

The AEW Continental Champion gets the ball rolling tonight as he faces The Hurt Syndicate member, Shelton Benjamin, in a championship eliminator match, which is set to be wrestled under Continental Classic rules, which means no outside interference and a 20-minute time limit.

Mox and Shelton began the match by exchanging some hard blows with each other as the champion took the match to the outside. Both wrestlers fought with each other amongst the crowd before Benjamin overpowered Mox and took control of the match.

Jon Moxley targeted Shelton’s arm, which had been injured during their fight, and managed to use the situation in his favor for a while, but the Standard of Excellence caught him by surprise with a quick superplex from the top rope.

The two former WWE guys have been in the ring for 15 minutes now, and if the match ends in a draw, it’ll only work in Benjamin’s favor. The match went down to the wire as Shelton Benjamin caught Mox in a triangle hold with less than 30 seconds on the clock.

Moxley prevailed by turning the hold into a pin and got the win with less than 5 seconds remaining, and the two men shook hands afterwards as a massive show of respect.

Who will partner with Jungle Jack Perry?

Jungle Jack Perry was scheduled for a big trios match against The Demand on tonight’s episode of Dynamite. He was set to team up with JetSpeed to take on Ricochet’s group, but the duo was taken out moments before the show went on-air.

The tag team was taken out by Jake Something, who has now aligned himself with the Don Callis Family, and Mark Davis, leaving Jack Perry without partners for his trios match against Ricochet and the GOA.

The Young Bucks return to the promotion

Jack Perry was set to take on The Demand on his own before revealing the Young Bucks as his tag team partners for the night. The duo hadn’t been seen since the middle of December as a slight injury kept them out, but they returned in style tonight.

They took control of the match as the trio dominated The Demand after catching them by surprise. They dominated the early stages of the match as the Bucks took out the GOA with a simultaneous Elbow Drop and Swanton Bomb.

They hit a huge powerbomb on Ricochet to seal the win, but the National Champion kicked out in the nick of time. Toa Liona then turned the tide in his team’s favor as he hit a Samoan Drop with all three members of the opposition on his shoulders.

Jack Perry then kicked out of a Springboard 450 from Ricochet before the Bucks broke the pin after Ricochet looked to win with the Vertigo. The trio took out GOA with successive superkicks, and Jack Perry pinned Ricochet after hitting him with a Doomsday Device, BTE, and a running knee.

Andrade El Idolo returns to AEW Dynamite!!

The Young Bucks and Jack Perry weren’t able to celebrate their victory for long as the Don Callis Family attacked them following their match. The attack was led by Mark Davis and Jake Something, but they had some help.

JetSpeed, who were taken out by the duo, came out with hockey sticks despite their injuries to turn the tide, but that’s when the lights went out. When they came back on, a masked figure stood in the ring and took out JetSpeed.

The masked man revealed himself to be Andrade El Idolo, who had aligned with the group during the sixth anniversary episode of Dynamite last year.

Willow Nightingale celebrates her TBS Championship win

Willow became the first AEW Women’s Double Champion last week and came out to the ring with Harley Cameron and Kris Statlander by her side as she was interviewed by Renee Paquette in the ring.

During her interview with Renee, she invited the former TBS Champion, Mercedes Mone, to her championship celebration, as she expected her to crash it anyway.

Mercedes came to the ring mourning the loss of her title as Willow listed her achievements of 2025, but Mone proceeded to trash the ring as she fell face-first into the cake before being powerbombed by the champion on the cake before celebrating the win around her.

Bandido takes on Sammy Guevara next on Dynamite

The two current ROH champions took on each other in an AEW ring tonight after Guevara challenged Bandido to the match last week on Collision. Bandido took control of the match early on, but Guevara turned things in his favor as he spat some water in his face.

The two exchanged some high-flying moves as they both of them tried to take control of the match. Guevara even hurt his nose in the process as he wrestled the match with a bleeding nose.

Ultimately, it was the ROH World Champion who scored the win as he hit Guevara with a 21-plex Suplex to get the three count, but wasn’t able to celebrate his win.

MJF interrupts Bandido’s celebration

The AEW World Champion came out to the ring as soon as Bandido got the win tonight, interrupting his celebration. MJF called himself a Lucha Libre legend following his run as the CMLL World Light Heavyweight Champion.

MJF brought a translator with him to deliver a message directly to Bandido, following which, MJF asked the ROH World Champion to hand over the Dynamite Diamond Ring to him.

They got in each other’s faces before MJF kicked Bandido between the legs and took the ring from his finger. He tried to take him out as the translator held Bandido in place, but MJF took out his translator instead.

He took advantage of the situation and hit a low-blow of his own on MJF before taking his ring back, and then stood tall after hitting MJF and his translator with the 21-plex.

Marina Shafir and Toni Storm go head-to-head

Timeless Toni Storm and Marina Shafir have been at each other’s throats for the last few weeks now and have faced each other in multi-person matches in the past.

Both of them met each other in a singles capacity tonight and delivered an incredibly entertaining match. Shafir dominated much of the match and seemed to be heading towards a win.

However, Wheeler Yuta broke up a Toni Storm pin attempt by pulling out the referee, which led to the referee calling off the match and declaring Storm as the winner.

Shafir took out Storm and her partner, Mina Shirakawa, after the match. Along with the rest of the Death Riders, Shafir was going to take out Luther as well, but he was saved as Roderick Strong and Orange Cassidy made their way to the ring.

Unsanctioned Lights Out Match main events Dynamite

Hangman Page and Swerve Strickland have been after The Opps since November’s Full Gear PPV, where Hook and Hobbs helped Samoa Joe win the AEW World Championship from Hangman Page.

They met in an unsanctioned match tonight which saw both teams push each other to their limits. Both teams traded momentum with each other as they looked to gain the upper hand.

Hangman introduced a table in the ring which Hook set up in the corner of the ring, as he and Hobbs isolated him from Swerve. He then put Page through the table with a high cross Suplex, but could only get a two-count.

Hangman Page took control of the match again as he sent Hobbs face-first into a steel chair before using a staple gun on Hook and stapling various parts of his body. He then used the same on Hobbs and used the gun between his legs to incapacitate him for a while.

Page and Swerve then introduced a pile of cinder blocks from under the ring. Hobbs overpowered the duo with a steel chair and looked to squash Swerve’s face between the chair and the cinder blocks,, but Prince Nana sacrificed himself to save Strickland.

However, it didn’t keep him out of danger for long as Hobbs slammed Swerve back-first into the cinder blocks, before the Opps Dojo proceeded to ambush and attack Hangman Page and Swerve Strickland.

Nana proved himself useful once again as he threw hot coffee in Hobbs’ face to get his team in control of the match. Swerve and Hangman took out Hobbs with an assisted Deadeye on the cinder blocks and turned their attention to Hook.

They finished the match after Swerve hit a House Call on Hook and Hangman hit a Buckshot Lariat. However, instead of going for the pin, Page wrapped the chain around his neck and hung him from the ring as he tapped out.
