AEW Dynamite aired June 10, 2026 from the Andrew J. Brady Music Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, on TBS and HBO Max. Excalibur, Tony Schiavone, and Taz called the action with Justin Roberts as ring announcer.

The show opened with Tony Schiavone welcoming Tommaso Ciampa to the ring. Excalibur noted Ciampa is the only person to win a championship on his first night in AEW, and a Collision clip replayed Tony claiming Ciampa was better than Chris Jericho under duress. Ciampa demanded Tony tell the Cincinnati crowd he is better than Jericho, threatening to break Tony's back if he refused. Tony relented, and Jericho's music hit as he entered.

Ciampa asked Jericho what he had to say for himself. Jericho joked about fighting someone with hair as the crowd chanted "Bald!" The exchange turned personal, with Jericho reintroducing himself and calling Ciampa "Tommy." Face to face, Jericho told Ciampa the reason he disliked him is because he is not Jericho, then the two threw punches until security separated them twice.

Commentary stated Sareee was not cleared to wrestle, with Maya World taking her place. Backstage, Don Callis and Kevin Knight arrived as Renee Paquette approached. Callis took over the interview. Andrade confronted Callis about his title shot and asked whether Callis was with Knight or with him. Knight claimed he was the real champ, and Callis said Andrade would get his title shot.

Jon Moxley defended the AEW Continental Title against Shane Taylor in match one. Mox entered with Marina Shafir to Death Riders music in his hometown, while Taylor arrived with Shane Taylor Promotions before STP left ringside under Continental rules. Taylor drove Mox through a timekeeper's table with an uranage before a commercial break. After the break, Taylor covered Moxley's face with the ring apron before landing a leg drop and shouting, "Is this your king?" Taylor smashed Moxley in the corner before Moxley fell face down, stood up, punched Taylor, flipped him off, and kicked him as Taylor charged. They exchanged blows in the center before Moxley gained control with kicks and forearms, bit Taylor's face in the corner, and raked Taylor's back on the turnbuckle until Taylor headbutted him to the mat and hit a splash off the second rope at the 10-minute mark. Moxley applied a sleeper hold, but Taylor escaped and nearly pinned Moxley after a lariat. Moxley hit a cutter for two, transitioned to an armbar, and eventually landed a curb stomp and bulldog choke as Taylor submitted. Moxley in 12:00, retaining the AEW Continental Championship.

After the bell, Taylor landed a sucker punch on Moxley, grabbed a belt from Charlie Bravo, and whipped him in the ring. Daniel Garcia emerged but was overpowered. Marina Shafir ran in, but Trish Adora hit her in the leg with a kendo stick. Taylor choked Moxley with the belt, dragged him toward the turnbuckle, and delivered another splash as STP stood tall leaving up the ramp.

A video package aired about Mercedes' return. She said she had watched champions come and go and get killed, watched people fill her shoes but fail at it, and stated that no one would take the throne from her. She said she did not come back for redemption; she came back for the throne.

Don Callis's music played as he announced Kevin Knight as the newest member of the Don Callis family. Kevin Knight thanked Callis, called Cincinnati a weird-ass city, and said everyone should be upset with Darby for letting everyone down. Knight called out MJF, still wanting to become Jet Two-Belts, but Darby Allin's music played instead. Darby returned and smashed Knight from behind with a skateboard.

I hope NY was worth it, bitch.

The Don Callis Family ran in, but Darby escaped outside the arena doors.

Mark Briscoe entered the ring after Tony Khan told him to hit his music, and Pac emerged for a match commentators said would be one for the ages. The bell rang at 43:00. A collar and elbow tie-up led to writelocks and catch wrestling exchanged back and forth. Pac set up a chair and delivered a brainbuster to Briscoe, crushing the chair through a commercial break. After the break, Briscoe dominated with punches and strikes before Pac fought back with a sidestep German suplex. Briscoe executed an over-the-top-rope suplex that sent both men to the floor, quickly climbed back in, delivered a neckbreaker, and put Pac into the ring.
