The main event of AEW Dynasty 2026 will see MJF, the reigning AEW World Champion, face off against Kenny Omega. MJF has held the championship for an impressive 406 days, while Omega, a former champion himself, held the title for 346 days during his previous reign. The stakes are high as Omega aims to reclaim his status as ‘The God of Professional Wrestling.’ As one observer noted, “Can Omega reach the mountaintop once more and prove why he’s ‘The God of Professional Wrestling,’ or will everyone, including Omega, be forced to give ‘The Devil’ his due if MJF walks out of Dynasty still AEW World Champion?”

In another highly anticipated match, Thekla will defend her AEW Women’s World Championship against Jamie Hayter. Hayter is looking to begin her second reign as champion, but faces a formidable challenge against Thekla, who has quickly established herself as a dominant force in the division. The tension is palpable, with questions lingering about whether Hayter can overcome the toxicity surrounding Thekla and claim the title. As one commentator remarked, “Will Hayter begin her second reign as AEW Women’s World Champion at Dynasty, or will the toxicity of Thekla keep the title within Triangle of Madness?”

The AEW Continental Championship match will feature Jon Moxley defending his title against Will Ospreay. This match is particularly intriguing as it represents a clash of styles and philosophies, with Ospreay seeking redemption after a series of setbacks. The match is set to have a 20-minute time limit, adding an extra layer of urgency to the encounter. Observers are keen to see if Ospreay can finally achieve the success he has long sought, with one analyst stating, “Ospreay could be on a path to ultimate redemption at Dynasty.”

In the tag team division, FTR will defend their AEW World Tag Team Championship against the formidable duo of Christian Cage and Adam Copeland. This match promises to be a showcase of tag team wrestling at its finest, with both teams bringing their unique styles and strategies to the ring. The outcome of this match could have significant implications for the tag team landscape in AEW.

Additionally, the Casino Gauntlet will be held for the vacant TNT Championship, featuring a mix of established stars and rising talents. The match format adds an element of unpredictability, as participants will enter at timed intervals, creating opportunities for surprise eliminations and dramatic moments. Darby Allin will also face Andrade El Ídolo for a chance at an AEW World Title shot, further intensifying the stakes of the evening.
