When Dynamite exploded onto the airwaves from Cleveland’s Wolstein Center last night, AEW delivered a whirlwind of raw emotion, narrative twists, and high-stakes setups that left fans breathless—and primed for London’s Forbidden Door on August 24. The evening burst into motion with Jon Moxley facing “Speedball” Mike Bailey in a match defined by brutal reversals and signature risk, only for the action to be shockingly interrupted when Darby Allin kidnapped Wheeler Yuta live, found him later in a body bag, and taped a chilling Forbidden Door challenge to his head—then drove off in Moxley’s SUV . In the women’s division, a frantic four-way qualifier between Alex Windsor, Billie Starkz, Queen Aminata, and Skye Blue crowned Windsor as the final AEW entrant in an inter-promotional TBS Championship match at Forbidden Door—where she’ll face Mercedes Moné, who returned laden with belts in a heated staredown that erupted further when Athena blindsided Toni Storm post-match . Brodido (Bandido & Brody King) continued their momentum by toppling The Young Bucks in the Tag Team Eliminator semifinals, earning their spot in the finals and fueling tag division intrigue . And culminating a night of tactical violence and storytelling, MJF and Mark Briscoe waged war in an explosive grudge match that concluded with Hangman Page storming the ring in a powder keg of factional fury—catalyzing chaos that will no doubt cascade into the Forbidden Door build.
