Tonight, AEW Dynamite is LIVE at 8 p.m. ET\/7 p.m. CT on TBS and streaming on HBO Max from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, just four days before AEW Dynasty in Vancouver! And we\u2019ll hear from two of Canada\u2019s greatest talents and see the TBS Championship defended in a highly anticipated matchup on what should be a star-studded night.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cThe God of Pro Wrestling\u201d Kenny Omega will speak before he faces \u201cThe Devil\u201d MJF for the AEW World Championship this Sunday at Dynasty. Plus, Chris Jericho, who made his shocking return to AEW last week after nearly a year away, will address his return tonight on Dynamite.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n TBS Champion Willow Nightingale turned away a stiff open challenge from the returning Hikaru Shida on Collision, but she\u2019ll have little time to recuperate with another open challenge tonight, as Nightingale will defend the TBS Title against another hard-hitting, returning challenger, Queen Aminata.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Plus, the Don Callis Family will put the all-star team of Andrade El \u00cddolo, Mark Davis and NJPW World TV Champion \u201cThe Alpha\u201d Konosuke Takeshita up against ROH World Champion Bandido and two men who will put their fiery past aside \u2013 Darby Allin and AEW National Champion \u201cJungle\u201d Jack Perry \u2013 in what should be a wild Trios Match.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n You can expect plenty of action and so much more on the final Dynamite before Dynasty! Here\u2019s your complete AEW Dynamite preview for April 8, 2026.<\/span><\/span> For the first time since October 2023, Omega will get a shot at the AEW World Championship this Sunday at Dynasty \u2013 against the very same man who retained the AEW World Title against Omega on that night, MJF.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Last week, Omega and MJF signed the contract for their AEW World Title match at Dynasty on April 12 in Vancouver, but tonight, \u201cThe God of Pro Wrestling\u201d will speak to his adoring fans and almost certainly offer some words to his diabolic opponent!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n The return of Jericho sent shockwaves throughout the wrestling world as, appropriately enough, he came back to AEW for the first time since last April in his hometown of Winnipeg! However, he only uttered these simple, but resounding words: \u201cWinnipeg\u2026AEW\u2026I\u2019m home!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n What will the first-ever AEW World Champion have to say when he addresses his return in front of his fellow Canadians in Edmonton?<\/span><\/span> Nightingale and Harley Cameron going their separate ways as a tag team has allowed Nightingale to put her sole focus on her TBS Championship. Indeed, she threw out an open challenge on this past week\u2019s Collision, which was answered by three-time former AEW Women\u2019s World Champion Hikaru Shida. A backslide allowed Nightingale to walk away with the TBS Title on Collision, but another open challenge is on deck tonight on Dynamite!\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n It\u2019s been nearly six months since Queen Aminata last stepped in the ring, but she must be ready to go, because she signed the contract to face Nightingale in her return to action. Before Aminata\u2019s injury, she teamed with Nightingale on several occasions against common enemies, but tonight, they\u2019ll go one-on-one for the first time in more than two years with the TBS Championship up for grabs.<\/span><\/span> The life of Darby Allin is never easy, and that certainly applies to his journey to the AEW World Championship. Ever since Allin declared his intentions for MJF\u2019s AEW World Title, he\u2019s faced constant attacks and threats from the Don Callis Family, whom MJF has paid to take out Allin. However, if Allin can beat Andrade at Dynasty, MJF will grant him a shot at the AEW World Title \u2013 a stipulation Kenny Omega has said he\u2019d honor if Omega were to beat MJF at Dynasty, as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n When Brody King and Perry saved Allin last week, it brought together former rivals. King and Allin took years off each other\u2019s careers, and as Perry reminded Allin, it was Allin who once set Perry on fire. With King unavailable for personal reasons, his tag team partner Bandido will join Allin and Perry together in the name of rising up against the Callis Family tonight on Dynamite!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n As announced by Tony Khan before Dynamite, TNT Champion \u201cThe Protostar\u201d Kyle Fletcher was injured and had to vacate the TNT Titlem and a new TNT Champion will be crowned this Sunday at Dynasty in a Casino Gauntlet! <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Tonight, Ciampa and Dorada will go one-on-one to decide who will enter the gauntlet with the coveted <\/span>#1<\/span><\/a> spot! Can Ciampa take another big step toward getting back the TNT Title or will Dorada make the most of this golden opportunity?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Date:<\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0Wednesday, April 8, 2026<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Start Time:<\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0LIVE at 8 p.m. ET \/ 7 p.m. CT<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Location:<\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0Rogers Place \u2013 Edmonton, Alberta, Canada<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n TV:<\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0TBS<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Streaming: <\/span><\/span><\/strong>HBO Max<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
