Thekla arrived in AEW by attacking Jamie Hayter and taking her out of action. The feud has escalated over the past year to the point where Hayter challenged Thekla for the AEW Women’s World Championship at Dynasty. However, it was “The Toxic Spider” who had the last laugh in Canada as she made yet another successful defense of her crown.

A very fast start saw Hayter hit a stiff boot to the face while Thekla hit a spear and locked Hayter in a submission that she quickly escaped from. When the action went to the outside, the two women beat each other from pillar to post using everything they could to inflict damage. Hayter used her strength to carry Thekla up the ramp and attempted a Suplex into the crowd, but the champion countered and hit a DDT at the top of the ramp, and when they got back near the ring, Thekla hit a Crossbody from the top rope.

Thekla was firmly in control as she kept throwing Hayter out of the ring, targeting Hayter’s back in the process. The champion was more than happy to toy with the challenger, but Hayter wouldn’t give up as she kept firing back despite Thekla catching her with a Flying Octopus Hold. Thekla would land a stiff boot of her own to the challenger, but when she went for a Suplex on the apron, it backfired as Hayter was able to power through and hit the Suplex on the champion.

Hayter would get the better of a strike exchange and folded the champion up with a Sit-Out Powerbomb for a near fall, forcing the champion to resort to grabbing the trunks when she rolled Hayter up a two count. Hayter went for a Lariat but Thekla ducked into her trademark spider pose, but Hayter took advantage of Thekla’s posing and picked her up to hit a Tombstone Piledriver for another near fall. The challenger would go up top only for Thekla to bite her neck and land a Spider Suplex and a Double Foot Stomp, before landing some kicks for another two count. Thekla went for the Spear, Hayter went for the Hayterade, but in the end it was Thekla who rolled Hayter up grabbed the rope for extra leverage to retain her title.

Kevin Knight won the Casino Gauntlet match to win the vacant TNT Championship at AEW Dynasty.

Tommaso Ciampa and RUSH entered the match as the first two entrants after winning their respective qualifying matches. Bandido and Speedball were the next two entrants. Clon, PAC, Daniel Garcia, Anthony Bowens, Kevin Knight, and Wheeler Yuta rounded out the participants.

Bandido landed a 21 Plex on Ciampa out of nowhere. He also took out the entire field with a massive tope suicida prior to Yuta’s arrival into the match. Ciampa landed a suplex on Knight to take everyone out again. PAC connected with the Black Arrow on Speedball, but Ciampa broke up the pin with a knee strike. He pinned Speedball, only for Yuta to pull Ciampa out of the ring. Garcia locked Speedball in a submission, but Knight broke up the pin with the UFO Splash to pin Garcia for the win. While he celebrated his victory, Speedball looked on and was not happy with his teammate. 

On last night’s “Collision”, JetSpeed and Mistico lost their Trios titles to The Dogs. 

Willow Nightingale laid down the challenge to Kamille for her TBS Championship on Wednesday’s “AEW Dynamite.” 

Kamille returned to AEW during the Dynasty Zero Hour, beating Big Anne in a squash match after attacking Nightingale backstage beforehand. Nightingale tried to get back at her after the match, with the pair brawling to the back as officials tried to get in between them. 

Nightingale appeared in a backstage segment a little later during the Dynasty main show, saying that if Kamille wanted a match and a shot at her title she only needed to ask. She then said she would face her during this week’s “Dynamite” for what will be her eighth defense of the title since winning it from Mercedes Mone in December. Kamille had been aligned with Mone prior to the arm injury that had sidelined her since 2024.

Nightingale has been focusing on her TBS Championship with two defenses against Hikaru Shida and Queen Aminata since losing her Women’s Tag Team Championship alongside Harley Cameron, going their separate ways after failing to reclaim the titles in a rematch.

FTR had revenge on their mind when they defended their AEW World Tag Team Championships against Adam Copeland and Christian Cage at Dynasty. The champions had been defeated by the challengers at All Out back in September, and they managed to exact that revenge as they defeated Cope and Cage in Canada.

Things broke down almost immediately when Copeland spat in Cash Wheeler’s face, and the action spilled to the outside as the crowd sang the Canadian national anthem in support. However, Stokely at ringside and Dax Harwood on the apron used the numbers advantage to help themselves get in control of the match. Both members of FTR tried to keep Copeland down, but he got enough space to tag Cage in, who stood on the necks of Harwood and Wheeler and delivered punches in the corner. Cage landed a Low Blow behind the referee’s back and took to the sky as he delivered a Crossbody to the outside on the champions, and earned himself a near fall when he returned to the ring.

Cage went for the Killswitch but Harwood landed some quick shots to regain control, but that control was short-lived when Cage landed the Killswitch. Wheeler broke up the pin attempt and threw Cage into the guardrail and once again, FTR had control of their opponents. Harwood and Wheeler targeted the left arm of Cage by slamming it into the ring post and the announce table, isolating Cage in their corner as Copeland watched on. The momentum shifted when FTR went for the Power and Glory but Cage was able to shove Harwood off the top and landed a Diving Headbutt. Harwood tried to prevent the tag but Cage raked the eyes of Harwood and tagged in Copeland who arrived with an array of offense.

Both teams went for the Power and Glory but ate knees, but Copeland was the first to react and locked Harwood in a Cloverleaf and then a Crossface, with Cage locking Wheeler in a Crossface of his own. Wheeler broke everything up by biting Cage and throwing him on Copeland, before resorting to bringing the title belt into the ring. However, this would backfire when Copeland was the one to eat the gold which split him open. FTR thought they had the win but Copeland kicked out, and after a Shatter Machine was reversed, Copeland and Cage hit a 3D for a near fall. FTR would eventually hit the Shatter Machine but the pin was broken up as Cage threw Stokely in the ring to break it up, and Copeland hit a Spear that was also broken up.

Wheeler threw Cage out of the way and isolated Copeland with Superkicks and went for an FTR Trigger as a way to mock The Young Bucks, but Copeland ducked and hit a Double Spear. Copeland went for another Spear but Wheeler ducked, and the champions followed it up with a Shatter Machine to retain the titles.
