New match with World title shot on the line set for AEW Dynasty

Posted on by Josh Nason

In a bout first teased several weeks ago, former TNT Champion Darby Allin will take on future World title challenger hopeful Andrade El Idolo at this month’s AEW Dynasty.

The bout was confirmed on Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite when Allin came out and called out reigning World Champion MJF. That brought out Don Callis and several members of his Family where Callis said that “MJF has paid his Family a lot of money to deliver a message.”

That message: if Allin can beat a hand-picked Family member, he will earn a future title shot. Callis then picked Andrade to be the man, much to Andrade’s surprise. Several weeks ago, Callis gave Andrade a case full of cash on behalf of MJF to take out Allin.

It was not said that Andrade would earn his own shot with a win.

This will be the third time in AEW history the two have met one-on-one. The first time came in March 2022 on Dynamite with the second coming a month later in a coffin match, also on Dynamite. The two are 1-1. They also shared the ring as part of a TNT title three-way and a tornado trios bout, both in 2022.

It was the only new bout announced Wednesday.

FTR vs. Adam Copeland & Christian Cage rematch signed for AEW Dynasty

Posted on by Josh Nason

The rematch between AEW World Tag Team Champions FTR and Adam Copeland & Christian Cage is official for next month’s Dynasty pay-per-view.

Following the Young Bucks and Jack Perry’s win over Kazuchika Okada & RPG Vice in the main event of AEW Dynamite, Matt & Nick Jackson talked about their frustration in not defeating FTR at this past Sunday’s Revolution for the titles but said no one would stand in their way of becoming four-time champions.

Enter Copeland & Cage who then walked out to the ring. Copeland gave the Bucks a pep talk and said he needed to get back to AEW to rectify the situation with FTR taking out his wife, Beth Copeland at last September’s All Out. He then said he wants to take the titles from them and wanted the Bucks to hear it first, revealing the rematch is set for Dynasty.

After saying he just cares about making more money, Cage said winning the titles would prove they are the best tag team of their generation and the Bucks’ generation as well.

FTR and Stokely Hathaway then came out, but both the Bucks and Copeland & Cage took them out quickly. All four men then held the belts at the same time in a staredown before the Bucks departed.

Copeland & Cage defeated FTR at All Out, but Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler then delivered a spike piledriver to Beth Copeland, writing off Copeland who went to film The Beekeeper 2 movie. The Canadians then returned at Revolution after FTR’s win over the Bucks.

It’s the first match announced for the PPV, taking place in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on Sunday, April 12.

Tony Khan comments on Vancouver hosting AEW Dynasty 2026

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Ever since AEW first came to the city in 2024, Tony Khan knew he wanted to return to Vancouver with a pay-per-view.

It was announced today that Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada will host AEW Dynasty in April 2026. Speaking with newspaper The Province, Khan commented on the news and promised that Dynasty will be one of the best pro wrestling events ever held in Vancouver.

“(We) made our Vancouver debut in May 2024 with AEW Collision,” Khan said. “It was an amazing crowd. They were incredibly passionate and had such a high respect and knowledge for AEW that I knew I wanted to bring the city a pay-per-view event in the future. Vancouver has had some great wrestling events through the years, but I’m confident that AEW Dynasty will be one of the best wrestling events ever held in Vancouver.”

This will be AEW’s first time back to Vancouver since that May 2024 event. It’ll mark the third time Canada has hosted an AEW PPV, with the previous two both having taken place from Toronto. Khan told The Province that Canada has been an “amazing host country” for AEW whenever the promotion has gone there.

AEW also has trips to Winnipeg and Edmonton scheduled for April 1 and April 8 leading into the Dynasty PPV. Both of those events are live Dynamite episodes with Collision tapings.

As 2025 reaches its final weeks, Khan reiterated that he feels this is AEW’s best-ever year when it comes to TV show and PPV quality.

“Every week this year I’ve been proud of the AEW TV shows, I’m beating myself up after the weekly TV shows less than ever,” he told The Province.

“In particular, I think that in 2025, AEW Collision: Grand Slam Australia, AEW Dynamite: Spring BreakThru, episode 300, Grand Slam Mexico, Blood & Guts and this past week’s Winter Is Coming events were all among the best wrestling TV shows that AEW has ever produced. As incredible as those TV events were, I believe that our track record on PPV this year is even more impressive. I think that we are poised to hit even greater heights in 2026, and AEW Dynasty at Rogers Arena on Sunday, April 12 will be a key event to achieve that goal.”
