Tonight, it’s the last Dynamite before Sunday’s inaugural AEW Redemption! Who will get the last word before their match? What will fill up the pre-show? Will we see Hangman Page again? I have no reason to think that last one, but I needed a third thing, and also it’s a little weird that he showed back up on an episode of Collision and then went right back to being away.
Dynamite opens with Will Ospreay hyping up his trios match tonight alongside Kenny Omega and Jon Moxley. He hypes up how he and Kenny are undefeated as a team, and tells Kenny that he can lean on him if he needs to. Kenny says Ospreay can lean on him if he needs to. Mox walks in and sarcastically remarks, “There’s no tension in this room.”

Winner and STILL TNT Champion: Kevin Knight
After a commercial, Renee is with the entire Don Callis Family in the ring. Mark Davis says he doesn’t have a match at Redemption unless Andrade can pick himself off the pavement outside Fenway. Kevin Knight says he just broke the record for most defenses in a TNT Championship reign, formerly held by Kyle Fletcher, and he did it without the Family.
