AEW Dynamite Match Card for July 1, 2026
Here are the matches and segments announced for tonight’s show:
MJF (c) vs. Mark Briscoe (AEW World Championship)
Briscoe earned this title shot after his squad beat Team MJF in the steel cage match at Forbidden Door, with Andrade El Idolo turning on MJF to seal the pinfall. AEW has confirmed this will open tonight’s show.
MJF has held the title through a run of high-profile defenses, and Briscoe is looking to cash in the momentum from Sunday’s win in his first singles shot at the belt since last year.
Kris Statlander vs. Hikaru Shida vs. Queen Aminata vs. Persephone vs. Maika vs. Harley Cameron (AEW TBS Championship Survival of the Fittest Match)
The TBS Championship has sat vacant since Willow Nightingale relinquished it in May due to a shoulder injury that also knocked her out of the Owen Hart Cup. All six qualifying winners now meet in an elimination match, with the last woman standing walking out as champion.
Forbidden Door Fallout: Mercedes Mone and Will Ospreay
Mone and Ospreay both won their respective Owen Hart Cup finals at Forbidden Door, punching their tickets to AEW World Title matches at AEW All In on August 30. Expect both to address what’s next for them on the road to that show.
Jay White Addresses His AEW Return
White returned to AEW television at Forbidden Door after more than a year out with injury, aligning himself with Adam Copeland and Christian Cage during the show. Tonight likely brings his first live comments since coming back.
Road to AEW Redemption 2026
AEW Redemption takes place Sunday, July 26, at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, marking the promotion’s first show under that name.
Tonight’s fallout from Forbidden Door, including the MJF-Briscoe title match, sets the early tone for what AEW builds toward over the next few weeks heading into Redemption.
