Overview
- AEW announced full rosters on Dynamite and ran a 12‑man tag as a preview, with MJF’s team of MJF, Kyle Fletcher, Kevin Knight, Kazuchika Okada, Jake Doyle and Andrade defeating Mark Briscoe’s side.
- The company imposed a rule that any competitor disqualified in the Dynamite tag will be barred from the June 28 cage match with no replacement, creating the risk of uneven teams in San Jose.
- Backstage and post‑match attacks on June 17 left potential participants compromised, with Tomohiro Ishii shown laid out and reported unlikely to join Briscoe, and Mark Briscoe and Darby Allin banged up after a ring‑post and ring‑ring beatdown.
- The Owen Hart tournament continued on Dynamite with Mercedes Moné beating Hazuki to reach the women’s final and Will Ospreay set to face Swerve Strickland in the men’s final, both matches carrying future title implications.
- Dynamite also added Forbidden Door title matches including Jon Moxley vs. Bandido for the Continental belt and Adam Copeland and Christian Cage defending the tag titles against The Dogs, meaning weekly TV results are reshaping the June 28 card.
