AEW Dynamite Match Card for April 1, 2026
Here are the matches and segments announced for tonight's show:
MJF vs. Kenny Omega: AEW Dynasty Contract Signing
Kenny Omega earned his shot at the AEW World Championship by defeating Swerve Strickland on March 25, immediately challenging MJF for the title at Dynasty. MJF accepted the challenge but spurned Omega's handshake. When Omega's music hit last week, MJF fled the ring with fear visible on his face. The psychological edge swung decidedly in Omega's favor in a single moment. Tonight, the two will sit down for the contract signing in Omega's Canadian hometown. Whether signatures hit the page cleanly or both men leave the table standing is the real question.
Will Ospreay vs. PAC
Ospreay and PAC are rematch for the first time in an AEW singles contest since their classic at All Out 2024, where Ospreay retained the International Championship. Before Ospreay takes his revenge on Jon Moxley—the man who broke his neck and sidelined him for months—he must go through PAC, a technical wizard whose history with the Death Riders runs deep. Two of the planet's most gifted high-flyers colliding with Moxley watching from the shadows. Anything can break loose when these two hit the canvas.
"Jungle" Jack Perry, Brody King & Kenny Omega vs. The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona) – Trios Match
Omega proposed this trios match himself, teaming with AEW National Champion Jungle Jack Perry and powerhouse Brody King against The Demand in what looks to be a hard-hitting six-man war. Omega wrestling twice in one night underscores just how critical this run to Dynasty is. Ricochet and The Demand have their own reasons to get after this trio, with the National Championship looming as a possible flashpoint.
Mina Shirakawa & The Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter, Alex Windsor) vs. Triangle of Madness (Toxic Thekla, Skyy Blue, Julia Hart) – Six-Woman Trios Match
Mina Shirakawa teams with The Brawling Birds after they ran roughshod on AEW Collision, taking on the Triangle of Madness in a six-woman trios contest that will heat up the women's title picture heading into Dynasty. Thekla and the Sisters of Sin have been gloating about Toni Storm's long-term hiatus, but Shirakawa wants answers and retribution. She's recruiting reinforcements to even the odds and make a statement in front of the Winnipeg crowd.
Road to AEW Dynasty 2026
AEW Dynasty takes place Sunday, April 12 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia. The card is shaping up to be stacked, with Omega challenging MJF for the world title as the probable main event, Ospreay facing Moxley for revenge, and FTR defending their world tag titles against Adam Copeland and Christian Cage in a high-emotion rematch. Tonight from Winnipeg, the dominoes fall into place.
