AEW Rebel Heart Dynamite airs Wednesday, September 9, 2026 from Akins Ford Arena in Athens, Georgia, live on TBS and streaming on HBO Max at 8 PM ET.
Steven Borden wrestles his first televised AEW match on the show, teaming with TNT Champion Darby Allin against Mark Davis and Josh Alexander. The special episode honors Rebel, real name Tanea Brooks, who was diagnosed with ALS in March. AEW is donating proceeds from the night to I AM ALS and Team Gleason, and Rebel is scheduled to appear.
AEW Rebel Heart Dynamite Match Card for September 9, 2026
Here are the matches and segments announced so far:
Darby Allin and Steven Borden vs. Mark Davis and Josh Alexander
Borden helped Allin win the TNT Championship from Kevin Knight at All In, and the Don Callis Family collected on it last week. After Allin retained against Davis on the September 2 Dynamite, RPG Vice jumped him, Borden ran out to even things up, and Josh Alexander returned to blindside him. Davis followed with a piledriver. Alexander hasn’t wrestled since a knee injury in March, so this is a return match for him and a debut for Sting’s son on the same night.
Will Ospreay (c) vs. David Finlay (AEW World Championship Eliminator Match)
Announced on Collision. Ospreay won the title from Kenny Omega at All In and already has Jon Moxley waiting at All Out. A Finlay win here doesn’t take the belt, but it earns him a future shot at it, which gives The Dogs a reason to keep circling Ospreay after Gabe Kidd went at him on Dynamite.
Swerve Strickland and The New Level (c) vs. The Conglomeration (AEW World Trios Championship)
Swerve teams with Kofi and Austin Creed to defend against Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly and Roderick Strong. The champions won the belts at All In and retained on last week’s Dynamite against The Rascalz.
The Young Bucks vs. Kevin Knight and Kyle Fletcher (Tag Team Tables Match)
Knight and Fletcher both came out of All In without their titles and spent the week sniping at each other backstage over how they lost them. Don Callis has kept forcing them together anyway. The Bucks are heading into a three-way ladder match for the AEW World Tag Team Championship at All Out.
Maya World, Hyan and Thunder Rosa vs. Persephone, Britt Baker and Hikaru Shida
Baker’s first AEW match since her return. She came back at All In to help Persephone take the TBS Championship off Maya World, which is the grudge this six-woman tag is built on.
The Waiting Room with Britt Baker and Rebel
Baker’s talk show returns for the night with Rebel alongside her. Persephone and Hikaru Shida are the announced guests.
Road to AEW All Out 2026
AEW All Out takes place Saturday, September 26 at the Now Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois.
Ospreay defends the AEW World Championship against Jon Moxley there, and the tag titles are up in a three-way ladder match. Rebel Heart is the middle Dynamite of three before the pay-per-view, so expect the Ospreay eliminator and the Callis Family business with Allin to point straight at Chicago.
