MJF secured his third stint as AEW World Champion by defeating RUSH on the most recent episode of Dynamite. The evening also featured the return of Mercedes Moné and Will Ospreay's advancement in the Men's Owen Hart Cup .

MJF’s Third World Title Reign and the Mark Briscoe Challenge

The main narrative of the evening centered on MJF, who suuccessfully defended the AEW World Championship against RUSH in a match featuring a no-countout stipulation. According to the report, the contest ended when MJF locked RUSH in a submission hold, causing the challenger to pass out. This victory marks the beginning of MJF's third reign at the top of the company, reinforcing his position as the primary antagonist of the promotion.

The aftermath of the match saw Mark Briscoe intervene to prevent MJF from attacking RUSH, only to be met with a low blow. Briscoe later secured a victory over Lio Rush using the Cutthroat Driver, a move the source describes as rarely used. Following his win, Mark Briscoe issued a passionate challenge to MJF for the AEW World Championship later this month, though MJF has already declined the offer in the trainers room.

Mercedes Moné’s Wild Card Return and Ospreay’s Path to the Semi-Finals

The Owen Hart Cup tournaments provided two of the night's biggest moments. Mercedes Moné made her return to AEW as the Wild Card in the Women's Owen Hart Tournament,where she defeated Alex Windsor.. As reported by the source, Moné utilized a Backstabber and the Statement Maker to secure a submission victory in the Quarter-Finals.

In the Men's tournament, Will Ospreay advanced to the semi-finals after defeating Mark Davis. The match was characterized by significant chaos, including a referee bump and interference from the Death Riders, Konosuke Takeshita, and the Don Callis Family. Ospreay eventually secured the win via submission using the Death Ground. This victory keeps Ospreay in contention for one of the most prestigious trophies in the industry, mirroring the high-stakes nature of previous tournament cycles.

Kevin Knight’s Entry into the Don Callis Family and the TNT Title

The landscape of the mid-card shifted when Don Callis announced that Kevin Knight is the newest member of the Don Callis Family. This alliance set the stage for a TNT Championship match between Kevin Knight and his former partner, Speedball Mike Bailey. Despite interference from the Don Callis Family, Kevin Knight—referred to as "The Jet"—retained the TNT Title.

The ambition of the Don Callis Family extends beyond the TNT Title. Kevin Knight has expressed a desire to become "Jet Two Belts," signaling his intent to pursue MJF and the AEW World Championship. Meanwhile, Kuzuchika Okada added fuel to the fire by claiming that Konosuke Takeshita is nothing without the support of the Don Callis Family, specifically targeting the International Championship.

Thekla’s STARDOM Provocation and Ciampa’s War with Chris Jericho

Tensions rose between AEW and the Japanese promotion STARDOM when Thekla climbed a ladder and spat on the STARDOM logo. This act serves as a clear signal that Thekla is slated to face a member of the STARDOM roster at the upcoming pay-per-view. This cross-promotional friction adds a layer of international intrigue to the current programming.

Simultaneously, Tommaso Ciampa continued his psychological warfare against Chris Jericho. Ciampa delivered another promo targeting Jericho, who was absent from the episode after being attacked by Ciampa the previous week. The ongoing feud suggests a violent collision is inevitable as Ciampa seeks to dismantle the veteran's presence in the company.

Will MJF Grant Mark Briscoe or Andrade El Idolo a Title Shot?

A significant point of uncertainty remains regarding who will actually face MJF next. while Mark Briscoe has demanded a match, MJF has explicitly stated it is not happening. Furthermore, Andrade El Idolo has also thrown his name into the hat for a shot at the AEW World Championship after defeating DK Vandu. The source does not clarify how AEW management will prioritize these challengers or if MJF will continue to evade them entirely.
