AEW delivered a chaotic and news-heavy episode of Dynamite on February 11, broadcast live from the Toyota Arena in Ontario, California. With Grand Slam Australia just days away, the show featured major title changes and violent confrontations.
New Champions Crowned
In a stunning turn of events, Kyle Fletcher defeated Tommaso Ciampa to recapture the TNT Championship. Fletcher, accompanied by Don Callis and Lance Archer, ended Ciampa’s short reign to ensure he enters his home country of Australia as champion. Post-match, Mark Briscoe issued a challenge for a ladder match, which Fletcher accepted.
The main event saw another title change as Thekla defeated Kris Statlander in a Strap Match to win the AEW Women’s World Championship. The Triangle of Madness interfered heavily, leading to Thekla’s victory. The new faction “The Brawling Birds” (Jamie Hayter & Alex Windsor) made the save after the bell.
Other Key Results
- Kenny Omega & Swerve Strickland opened the show with a verbal confrontation that devolved into a brawl, putting both men through a table.
- The Death Riders (Moxley, PAC, Castagnoli) defeated the team of Mark Davis, Josh Alexander, and Konosuke Takeshita.
- The Young Bucks won a three-way tag match against The Rascalz and the returning Private Party to become #1 Contenders. They were confronted by FTR afterward.
- Toni Storm vowed to become the “most beautiful bastard,” but Wheeler Yuta and Marina Shafir attacked Mina Shirakawa, cutting a chunk of her hair as a warning for their upcoming Hair vs. Hair match.
