AEW Dynamite 3/18/26 Review | RAD
Ospreay vs. Moxley feud
Will Ospreay gets on the mic and he immediately calls out Jon Moxley. Says, 'I don't need a weapon to snatch someone's neck. I can do it with my bare fucking hands.'
Swerve vs. Omega match announcement
It's no point in me beating Kenny Omega twice if there's nothing for me to gain. So he says what he wants is power. He wants Kenny's EVP status. So next week in St. Paul, Minnesota, it's Swerve Strickland versus Kenny Omega, number one contender versus EVP.
Will Ospreay return
Since Saturday the man has returned to AEW, announced he was cleared on X, then announced for his return match, and having said return match, all in the span of four nights.
FTR vs. Copeland & Cage match announcement
Adam Copeland says, 'We had to await word for the last six months if Beth would need spinal fusion surgery... I've got to rectify that situation by taking the tag titles.' At Dynasty it's FTR against Cope and Cage in Vancouver for the tag titles.
AEW Tag Team Titles
The Bucks relinquish the titles to Cope and Cage and they stare down their opponents. And that is our first match announcement for Dynasty in Vancouver.
Will Ospreay booking
I don't see the rush to get all of this stuff in. I would have argued that a promo tonight where he gets on the mic and says, 'Why am I back so quickly? Because I had one date every morning that I woke up and saw August 30th and I am making it to Wembley,' I think that would have been really goddamn effective.
Claudio Castagnoli contract
Claudio now has a dual contract with AEW and CMLL. They have announced so maybe they were concerned that Claudio was going to get raided.
AEW production issues
Excalibur mentions that Tony Storm was dropped and Danielson has no idea what Excalibur is talking about... it just felt like this had that kind of flying by the seat of your pants feeling.
AEW storytelling
Kenny Omega announces that Swerve is the number one contender and then during Swerve's promo he says, 'Well, that was news to me that I'm the number one contender.'
