AEW Dynamite Recap: Title Changes and Chaos Ahead of Grand Slam

AEW Dynamite delivered a big-time episode last night, and it felt like one of those shows where the landscape can shift in a single night. With Grand Slam: Australia on the horizon, the stakes were high across the board — and AEW didn’t hold back. Two championships changed hands, rivalries intensified, and several major matches were set in motion for the weeks ahead.

The biggest shock came in the strap match for the AEW Women’s World Championship. Thekla dethroned Kris Statlander in a brutal, physical contest that saw both women pushed to their limits. The finish was decisive and ruthless, with Thekla using the strap to control Statlander before sealing the victory. It marks a dramatic shift for the women’s division, as a new and dangerous champion now sits at the top..

The TNT Championship picture also saw a major twist. Kyle Fletcher defeated Tommaso Ciampa to regain the TNT Title in a hard-hitting battle. Fletcher’s win felt like a statement — not just reclaiming gold, but reestablishing himself as one of AEW’s rising pillars. With a ladder match against Mark Briscoe now looming at Grand Slam, the title scene just got even more unpredictable.

Elsewhere, the Young Bucks earned a shot at FTR’s AEW World Tag Team Championships by winning a three-way tag match, adding another chapter to one of AEW’s most storied rivalries. Kenny Omega and Swerve Strickland’s confrontation erupted into chaos, escalating their feud in violent fashion. By the end of the night, Dynamite felt like a launchpad — setting the tone for a loaded stretch of shows ahead.
