The September 23, 2026, episode of AEW Dynamite will be a special three-hour broadcast held at the Fishers Event Center in Indianapolis, combining with AEW Collision for an extensive night of wrestling action. This episode is significant as it is the last Dynamite before the highly anticipated All Out pay-per-view scheduled for the following Saturday. AEW has currently announced only one confirmed match for the show: the AEW World Trios Championship defense by Swerve Strickland and The New Level against The Demand’s Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, and Toa Liona. The winner of this bout will go on to challenge Adam Page, Bandido, and Brody King for the titles at All Out.

This Trios Championship storyline has been a dominant force in AEW's recent programming, with these three teams shaping the title scene. Since their debut at All In last month, Austin Creed and Kofi Kingston have also built strong momentum, positioning themselves well for upcoming challenges. Should Strickland and his team retain their belts, it will be a significant endorsement of their reign and set a dynamic tone heading into the pay-per-view event.

In addition to the announced Trios match, the show is expected to feature several important segments leading into key pay-per-view battles. Notable interactions anticipated include a final meeting between Will Ospreay and Jon Moxley before their All Out clash, and a confrontation between Thekla and Willow Nightingale ahead of their No. 1 contender’s match for the Women’s World Championship. Other storylines, such as the pursuit of the AEW International Championship by Tommaso Ciampa against Kazuchika Okada, will also likely be featured to build anticipation for the weekend’s marquee events.

AEW is also expected to address other main events slated for All Out, including the Chicago Street Fight for the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship and a highly anticipated three-way ladder match. The latter will see Adam Copeland and Christian Cage defending the AEW World Tag Team Championship against longtime rivals FTR and The Young Bucks. Fans can watch the Dynamite episode live on Wednesday, September 23 at 8:00 pm ET on TBS or stream it on HBO Max, making it a crucial night for building storylines ahead of one of AEW’s biggest PPVs of the year.
