AEW Dynamite Results 4/8 - TBS Championship On The Line, Kenny Omega & Chris Jericho Appear

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results for "AEW Dynamite" on April 8, 2026, coming to you live from the Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada!

Coming off her successful defense against the returning Hikaru Shida on the April 2 episode of "AEW Collision", Willow Nightingale will be putting her TBS Championship on the line once again tonight as she defends against Queen Aminata. This will mark Aminata's first time competing in a ring since herself and Jamie Hayter came up short to Sisters of Sin in a quarterfinals match for the AEW Women's World Tag Team Championship Tournament during the Fright Night "Dynamite" Special on October 29, 2025.

Chris Jericho made his surprise return to AEW during last Wednesday's episode of "Dynamite", telling his hometown Winnipeg crowd that he was home both there and in AEW. Following such, Jericho will be making an appearance on tonight's show with something on his mind to share.

Before he challenges MJF for the AEW World Championship at AEW Dynasty this coming Saturday, Kenny Omega will be making an appearance with something on his mind to share. After Omega and MJF their Dynasty match official by putting pen-to-paper with a contract signing last Wednesday that led to a tense verbal confrontation between them, "Speedball" Mike Bailey stepped in to come to Omega's defense and was unsuccessful in scoring a win against MJF in an AEW World Championship Eliminator Match later that same night.

AEW National Champion Jack Perry will be joining forces with Brody King and Darby Allin to take on The Don Callis Family's Andrade El Idolo, Mark Davis, and Konosuke Takeshita. While Perry, King, and the aforementioned Omega emerged victorious against The Demand's Ricochet, Bishop Kanu, and Toa Liona last Wednesday, Allin has been vying for a shot at MJF's AEW World Championship despite MJF enlisting The Don Callis Family to prevent Allin from gaining such.

We are live! Excalibur, Tony Schiavone, and Nigel McGuinness greet audiences at home before we see Jon Moxley and Will Ospreay brawling in the parking lot. The Death Riders find the pair and beat down Ospreay, but Alex Windsor and United Empire members Francesco Akira, Henare, and Callum Newman pull up in a car to provide Ospreay with backup. The two groups begin brawling with one another, with Marina Shafir and Windsor brawling into the ringside area. Ospreay and Moxley follow, with Moxley and Daniel Garcia firing off stomps on Ospreay in the ring. Henare clotheslines Garcia over the top rope as Moxley cinches in a sleeper on Ospreay, but Ospreay fights his way out of things.

Ospreay then challenges The Death Riders to an Eight Man Chaos In Canada Match on behalf of United Empire.

We then head over to a video from Don Callis, where he confirms Kyle Fletcher is injured and says a new TNT Champion will be crowned in a Casino Gauntlet Match at Dynasty. He also reveals Fletcher and Kazuchika Okada were supposed to face The Young Bucks at Dynasty, but he's pivoted and Okada will team up with Takeshita now.

Darby Allin, Jack Perry, and Bandido (who is replacing Brody King as he attends to a personal matter) then make their way to the ring. The Don Callis Family follows. 

Andrade El Idolo and Allin begin the action. The bell rings and Andrade tags out to Takeshita. Allin grabs a microphone and calls MJF to the ring, asking why he's Don Callis' b****. Andrade dares Allin to come at him, but Konosuke Takeshita catches Allin with two rolling German suplexes. Mark Davis steps over Allin at the bottom of the entrance ramp, but Perry delivers a moonsault off the ropes to level Takeshita and Davis as Don Callis joins the commentary desk. Perry then looks to fly off the ropes, but Takeshita levels him with a strike mid-air. He dumps Perry out of the ring as Andrade takes a selfie with a female fan.

Back from the break, Bandido tags in and takes Takeshita with a pump kick. He fires off strikes on Davis, then bodyslams Davis on top of Takeshita and rocks Takeshita with a boot to the side of his face. Takeshita then catches Bandido with a Blue Thunder Bomb and pins him, but Bandido kicks out.

Davis tags in and spits in Allin's face, but Bandido delivers a hurricanrana to Davis and pins him. Davis kicks out, and Perry catches an interfering Takeshita with a poisionrana. Andrade trips Perry as he runs the ropes, but Allin flies out of the ring to take down Andrade.

Takeshita and Davis swing Allin into a pile of chairs in the timekeeper's area, but Andrade tags in and delivers The Message to Perry before pinning him for the win.

Winners: The Don Callis Family

After the match, Andrade stares down Allin in the ring. Allin shoves Andrade, but Andrade low blows Allin as Takeshita and Davis take a few shots at Bandido and Perry. Callis rakes Perry's eyes, but The Young Bucks' music hits and they run down to the ring. Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson fire off right hands on Takeshita and Davis, but Kazuchika Okada, Hechicero, and Lance Archer join their fellow Don Callis Family members. The Rascalz make their way to the ring to take out The Don Callis Family, but Myron Reed flies over the top rope to take out Okada on the outside.

Queen Aminata then makes her way to the ring. Willow Nightingale follows.

The bell rings and the action spills out of the ring. Aminata rocks Nightingale with a strike, but Nightingale responds with a chop to Aminata. We see Hikaru Shida with a kendo stick in hand watching the action from the crowd as Aminata whips Nightingale into the barricade. Nightingale dumps Aminata into the ring, then levels Aminata with a clothesline. Aminata responds with her signature modified version of a Devil's Kiss to Nightingale.

Back from the break, Nightingale levels Aminata with a dropkick off the middle rope and follows it up with the Death Valley Driver to her. She goes for a pin, but Aminata kicks out. Nightingale then ascends to the top rope and looks to land a moonsault on Aminata, but Aminata moves out of the way and connects with a forearm on Nightingale.

Aminata lands a double chop on Nightingale, but Nightingale delivers a backslide to her. Aminata kicks out and connects with an Air Raid Crash on Nightingale, then goes for a pin but Nightingale kicks out. Nightingale intercepts Aminata with a big boot, then sends her crashing out of the ring under the bottom rope and connects with the Doctor Bomb on Aminata for the win.

Winner (and still): Willow Nightingale

After the match, Nightingale shakes Aminata's hand.

Chris Jericho then makes his way to the ring.

Jericho says it's good to be back on "Dynamite", then says he meant it when he said he was home last week. He was he's planning on making things official by singing his brand new AEW contract close to where he had his first ever professional wrestling match. He says he took a lot of risks to start his professional wrestling career and has taken lots of risks since, including signing with AEW. He says he's proud of how big AEW has grown to be as a company that he helped to start, then says even though some of his risks haven't paid off, he loves professional wrestling and it deserves the best Chris Jericho he can possibly be.

Jericho opens the lid of his pen and looks to sign the contract, but before he can, The Demand's music hit and Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, and Toa Liona make their way to the ring. Ricochet says Canada sucks and says he wants to talk to Jericho, then says Jericho has been touring with his band Fozzy and says there's a difference between sing shape and ring shape. He says it's the rise of Ricochet and says he's telling Jericho all of this because of how much he respects him. He speaks on 'behalf of the fans' and says no one wants Jericho in AEW, then tells Jericho to get on his cruise ship and never come back to AEW.

Jericho reveals he has a clause in his new contract that he can choose anyone to face at Dynasty, but says because he's signed his contract, he's chosen to face Ricochet at Dynasty. He rips off the back of his clipboard to reveal his name and tells Ricochet that he just made the list.

Tommaso Ciampa then make his way to the ring. Mascara Dorada follows. 

The bell rings and the two lock up. Ciampa delivers a boot to Dorada's midsection, then sends him crashing off the apron with a running knee. Dorada then delivers a hurricanrana to Ciampa and connects with a Tornillo on him over the top rope.

Back from the break, Dorada delivers a moonsault to Ciampa on the outside off the middle rope. He ascends to the top and delivers a 450 Splash to Ciampa, then goes for a pin but Ciampa kicks out. Dorada then looks to fly off the ropes, but Ciampa catches him with a dropkick to him and sets up for an Air Raid Crash on Dorada as they both teeter on the ropes. Dorada escapes and sends Ciampa crashing into the mat with a neckbreaker, then goes for a pin but Ciampa kicks out.

Dorada looks to land a moonsault on Ciampa off the middle rope, but Ciampa moves out of the way. Dorada catches Ciampa with a superkick, but Ciampa spikes Dorada with a hanging DDT and follows it up with a running knee strike for the win.

Gabe Kidd says The Conglomeration has no one left, and The Dogs put Mistico and JetSpeed on notice as they warn them that they're coming for their AEW World Trios Championship at Collision. 

Adam Copeland and Christian Cage then make their way to the ring. 

Copeland says jealousy and pettiness is what blew up his relationship with FTR, and says that Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler's feeling that they were his henchmen is reality hitting them. He says himself and Cage will take their place on top of the mountain as the new AEW World Tag Team Champions. Cage tells FTR to sit down and shut their mouths as he conducts his business, then says Harwood and Wheeler have been busy upsetting him, Copeland, and the entire country of Canada. He says he visited both Harwood and Wheeler's mothers in an intimate fashion and says he'll do the same with Stokely's mother, but after he becomes one half of the AEW World Tag Team Champions.

Harwood, Wheeler, and Stokely make their way to the ring. Trent Beretta and Rocky Romero attack Copeland and Cage from behind in the ring, but Cage sets up for Killswitch on Wheeler. Wheeler sends Cage crashing into Stokely, who hits Cage with the AEW World Tag Team Championship. Romero holds a chair in place for Beretta to land a running knee on Copeland, but Harwood slides Cage's arm into a chair. Stokely decides to steal Cage's watch, and Wheeler flies off the middle apron to stomp on Cage's arm.

United Empire and Will Ospreay then make their way to the ring. The Death Riders follow. 

The bell rings and Jon Moxley brawls with Henare through the crowd. Ospreay dumps Moxley into the ringside area as Francesco Akira, Callum Newman, and Henare brawl with Claudio Castagnoli, Daniel Garcia, and PAC. Castagnoli brawls up the entrance ramp with Newman and sends him crashing into his knee with a Gorilla Press.

Alex Windsor takes out Shafir, who had accompanied her Death Riders stablemates to the ring. A ladder is set up in the ring, and Akira lands a crossbody off the ladder and over the top rope to take out Castagnoli, PAC, and Garcia on the outside.

Back from the break, Will Ospreay sets up a table as Newman taps on the ring steps next to them. Ospreay and Newman drag Moxley up the rig steps, but Castagnoli comes to Moxley's aid and sends Newman crashing into the barricade with a Gorilla Press. He lands a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker on Ospreay as Ospreay looks to fly off the ring steps.

Moxley chokes Henare on the outside as Castagnoli whips Newman into the corner and Garcia delivers a clothesline to him. Castagnoli, Garcia, and PAC then take turns firing off clotheslines and uppercuts on Newman in the corner as Moxley wears down Ospreay on the outside. He bites Ospreay's ear, and Garcia stands on Ospreay's spine to continue wearing him down. He then chokes Ospreay with the shirt that he was wearing.

The Death Riders take turns firing off clotheslines and uppercuts on Henare in the corner of the ring, but Henare drags Garcia up on the ring steps. Castagnoli comes to Garcia's aid and sends Henare crashing through another table that had been set up on the outside.

Inside the ring, Moxley and Ospreay brawl with one another. Moxley then lands a trio of Paradigm Shifts on Ospreay, but Newman levels Moxley with a clothesline and helps up Ospreay. Ospreay sends Moxley crashing through the table and pins him as Newman holds onto Moxley as well.

Winners: United Empire

After the match, Ospreay looks to continue beating down Moxley. Castagnoli comes to Moxley's aid by pulling him out of the ring. 

Omega says it's been about 25 years since he was last in Edmonton, then says he hopped into a car for a 14 hour drive to wrestle in Edmonton and thanks the city from the bottom of his heart. He then addresses MJF and asks him if he really thought that MJF's comments about his diverticulitis last Wednesday would really get under his skin. He says that it got really old, especially given that commentary brings it up every week.

Omega reveals that he got upset with MJF mocking him for being "The God of Professional Wrestling" and his other nicknames because the fans were the ones to gift them upon him and he takes those titles seriously. He dares MJF to keep making comments about him because he can do everything better than MJF and recreate professional wrestling in his image unlike MJF. He says he thought it was all on him to write his legacy and save the place where the best should wrestle to put the belt on someone who can wrestle the best in the place they should wrestle. He admits to being wrong about that and says he shares his legacy with the fans. He says his responsibilities are his strength, and promises to take the AEW World Championship from MJF to write the wrongs that he's committed in AEW. He says Dynasty will be MJF's last offense.

MJF's music hits and he makes his way out. He says Omega was talking like he's better than him and about to beat him in 2026, but says while Omega and the fans should talk him up, Omega and the fans are scared. He says Omega will never challenge him for the AEW World Championship because the clock on his career is ticking, then says the doctors and Omega have said that he's all good to wrestle. He asks Omega what his excuse will be when he fails to win the AEW World Championship at Dynasty, then says Omega will find out like those in the back that he's not on the level of "The Devil". He says the fans will find out that their God will fall and "The Devil" will rise sitting on top of the throne. He says he's better than Omega and he knows it.

Omega says he learns more about MJF with every encounter between them, then says Dynasty will be the last time that they meet in the ring like men. He extends his hand to MJF and invites MJF to share his hand. MJF look to clock Omega, but Omega swiftly takes down MJF and tells him that he's predictable. He takes MJF's "Dynamite" Diamond Ring off and puts it on his own finger, then says he's studied MJF and things won't be how they've been until now. He says he will bid the crowd adieu with a good boy and a good night, then stands tall over MJF as the show goes off the air.
