AEW Dynamite Results (1/7/2026): Live Match Updates and Highlights

The show opens up with commentary welcoming us and Jim Ross gets an introduction for his return to the booth to a big pop from the Tulsa crowd as he is making his way to the desk.

As Jim Ross is making his way to the desk, we get the hype for the rest of the lineup for tonight. Bandido defends his ROH World Title this week and will challenge for the AEW World Title at Maximum Carnage next week. We then find out that the Trios Match scheduled for tonight is unclear as we head backstage to find out that JetSpeed were attacked earlier today.

The Demand is then shown being shocked by this development as Don Callis talks about someone being much richer thanks to the bounty that was put out on them. He then hypes up Mark Davis and new Don Callis Family member Jake Something before they leave. Commentary then says Jake Perry now must find two new partners for the Trios Match.

Jon Moxley then makes his way down to the ring for the first match of the night and Shelton Benjamin follows.

AEW Continental Championship Eliminator Match: The Death Riders’ AEW Continental Champion Jon Moxley vs. The Hurt Syndicate’s “The Standard of Excellence” Shelton Benjamin

The match starts off with a handshake attempt but it is slapped off by Moxley. Both men then go at it until Benjamin takes control, sending Moxley to the corner but Moxley fights back with a set of chops to get out of the predicament. Benjamin then takes the fight back to Moxley with some chops of his own, sending him across the ring for more damage. Moxley then hits Benjamin with a boot to the face before sending him over the top rope and to the outside, following close behind to send him into the barricade. Moxley then returns the favor on Benjamin, but Benjamin manages to send him over the barricade and into the crowd.

The fight finds its way back toward ringside, with both men getting back into the ring just long enough to break the referee’s count. Moxley then puts Benjamin in a hammerlock before sending him into the ring steps. Moxley then gets back in the ring as the referee reaches a new count of eight before Benjamin returns as well. Benjamin then starts to fight back as he hits the ropes, but gets sent down to the mat hard by Moxley. Benjamin then hits an avalanche suplex on Moxley, sending him crashing to the canvas. With both men back to their feet, they begin slugging it out and Benjamin starts to take control until Moxley dodges a corkscrew kick.

This then allows Moxley to regain control of the match, setting up for a Gotch style piledriver until Benjamin breaks free. He then hits three German suplexes in a row on Moxley, but Moxley is already back on his feet only to get sent right back down. Moxley then turns it around to take Benjamin down, using the ropes to get back to his feet. Both men then exchange strikes, with Moxley winning the exchange to take a near fall as we get a five minute warning announced. Moxley then turns things up a notch as he sends Benjamin to the corner for some mounted punches until Benjamin counters into a powerbomb for two.

He then quickly transitions into a modified STF, wrenching the neck of Moxley until Moxley gets the ropes for a break. He then sends Benjamin to the ropes, setting up a low bridge to send him to the outside for a dive that sends Benjamin into the barricade. He then brings Benjamin back in the ring, but gets taken down with a slam allowing Benjamin to get a near fall. The fight then heads to the corner, where Moxley looks to take Benjamin down but Benjamin catches him with a kick to the back of the leg, allowing him to take Moxley down for another two count. He then hits a couple more kicks before Moxley counters into a Paradigm Shift DDT. He then makes a cover, but Benjamin kicks out.

Moxley then locks in a choke hold and Benjamin fights to break free as we’re down to one minute remaining. Benjamin then reaches the ropes for a break, hitting a knee strike followed by a triangle choke but Moxley stacks him up on his shoulders for the three and the win, just seconds away from the time limit.

Jack Perry then makes his way down to the ring for the next match of the night. We quickly find out who his partners are for tonight as The Young Bucks make their way down to the ring to a big pop from the crowd. They then meet up outside the ring before sliding in, going at it with The Demand to get this match underway.

Nightingale then powerbombs Moné over the cake. Moné is laid out in the ring as the other women do a conga line around her.

We then take a look back at Hechicero getting a future shot at the TNT Title after beating Komander followed by a vignette from Mark Briscoe at his home where he hypes up new TBS Champion Willow Nightingale and he talks about recovering after recent matches. He then promises to keep the title away from the Don Callis Family as the phrase of the day is “reign and defend.” Saturday night on Collision sees him defend the title against Hechicero.

We then head to the back, where the Triangle of Madness call out the current champions as they look to make things toxic in 2026. Next week we will see them face the Babes of Wrath and Kris Statlander in trios action.

We then take a look back at Sammy Guevara challenging Bandido to a match for tonight, looking to replace the ROH World Champion ahead of his match for the AEW World Title. Sammy Guevara then makes his way down to the ring for the next match of the night and Bandido follows.

The match starts off with Bandido looking to adhere to the Code of Honor, but Guevara just flips him off only to be sent to the outside by Bandido for a dive.

After the match, the celebration is cut short by the arrival of the AEW World Champion as MJF makes his way down to ringside. MJF has a microphone as he heads to the ring and it looks like Jon Cruz is about to act as interpreter as MJF congratulates Bandido on the win tonight. MJF then hypes himself up as someone who knows a thing or two about luchadores and even calls himself a lucha libre legend. He then says he respects Bandido and because he respects him he has asked Jonathan Cruz to translate for him.

Cruz then translates all of this and he is hyping up MJF. MJF then says thank you before taking shots at Oklahoma. MJF then brings up having 6 Dynamite Diamond Rings, but he is not out with one. MJF then says he wants Bandido to hand him his Dynamite Diamond Ring. MJF then says he will call off the world title match for next week. He then promises to talk to Tony Khan to put over Bandido and get him a PPV match in maybe 5-10 years time. He then asks Cruz to translate, but Bandido cuts him off to tell MJF that he can speak English, cursing MJF out before we get a stare-down that gets cut off by a low blow from MJF. He then gets Cruz to hold Bandido after stealing the ring, looking for another cheap shot but Bandido breaks free and Cruz gets laid out. Bandido then hits Cruz with a 21 Plex before hitting one on MJF as well and MJF retreats to grab his title before leaving up the ramp while Bandido celebrates.

Storm then counters an Irish whip to send Shafir into the corner, but Shafir hits her with a kick when she goes for a hip attack.

Mina Shirakawa then runs down for the save, only to be laid out by Shafir before Orange Cassidy and Roderick Strong run down to intervene as well. This situation then finally calms down after Claudio Castagnoli heads down and the Death Riders make their escape through the crowd as Cassidy helps Shirakawa back to her feet.

We then head to the back, where Renee Paquette is speaking with PAC. He brings up beating Darby Allin twice already and is not ready for another match. Allin then shows up and says he wants it after the war with Death Riders. PAC then refuses him and walks away before Allin ambushes PAC with a fire extinguisher. Allin then threatens to break his ankle if he doesn’t say yes to a match. PAC then finally agrees to the match and Allin runs off before the Death Riders can get to him.
