AEW Dynamite Results – February 18, 2026

AEW Dynamite Results – February 18, 2026 – AEW Dynamite opened with Excalibur, Bryan Danielson, and Tony Schiavone setting the stage before a series of pre‑match comments from the night’s key competitors.

Mina Shirakawa spoke first, saying it was “Mina Time” to evolve and chase the TBS Championship. Willow Nightingale acknowledged the danger of a four‑way title defense, noting she could lose the belt without being pinned, but she was ready to fight in Australia and fly to Sacramento to defend her championship. Megan Bayne declared that championship gold belonged to the “All Elite Goddess.” Swerve Strickland followed, stating he needed tonight more than anything, while Kenny Omega warned that Swerve had stepped between him and his greatest goal—promising that until Swerve was out of his way, he’d be met with a “goodbye and good night.”

Renee Paquette caught up with Orange Cassidy earlier in the day. Cassidy brushed off Roderick Strong walking out on him last week, saying The Conglomeration had plenty of members. Tomohiro Ishii entered the frame, confirming he would team with Cassidy against Gabe Kidd and Clark Connors.

Jon Moxley vs. Mark Davis – Continental Title Eliminator

The story centered on Moxley’s ongoing failure to defeat Konosuke Takeshita, with commentary emphasizing that Takeshita remained the “one demon” Moxley had yet to conquer. Mark Davis, meanwhile, wanted to prove he could be the Callis Family’s new difference‑maker with Jake Doyle sidelined.

Davis used his size early, flattening Moxley with a running body block and crushing him during a sunset‑flip counter. Moxley turned the tide when Davis punched the ring post so hard his hand began bleeding, allowing Moxley to hit a Tope Suicida and attack the injured fingers. After the break, Davis regained control with a running attack against the LED board and a top‑rope attempt that Moxley countered into a superplex.

The match escalated into a slugfest. Davis hit a huge enzuigiri and a devastating piledriver, but Moxley survived. A Curb Stomp from Moxley led to another double down, followed by a brutal exchange of lariats. When Davis attempted another piledriver, Moxley countered, transitioned into a Bulldog Choke, and forced the tap.

Winner: Jon Moxley

Hangman Page Sends a Warning

Hangman Adam Page reflected on his Grand Slam match with Andrade, saying he now understood why Andrade was called El Idolo. Page vowed that if MJF tried to kick him low again, he’d make sure Max had “no happy future.” He promised to take the World Championship at Revolution.

FTR & Stokely Hathaway Address The Young Bucks

Dax Harwood barely began speaking before the crowd drowned him out with chants. He mocked the Bucks for calling themselves the best team in the world a decade ago, saying they now sat comfortably in second place. Stokely Hathaway blasted the Bucks for shaking hands with The Rascalz and Private Party last week, calling them hypocrites who once tried to run Private Party out of AEW.

The Bucks appeared behind FTR and superkicked both champions. Stokely tried to wheel himself away, but the crowd demanded another superkick—and got it. The Bucks held up the AEW Tag Titles and officially challenged FTR for Revolution.

Brody King Issues a Challenge

Backstage at Grand Slam, Brody King said he was inches away from winning the AEW World Title and refused to sulk. He demanded the biggest and toughest opponents on February 25 as he re‑entered the title hunt.

TBS Championship – Willow Nightingale vs. Mina Shirakawa vs. Marina Shafir vs. Megan Bayne

The four‑way was chaotic, fast‑paced, and allowed each competitor to shine. Shafir and Bayne initially worked together to isolate Nightingale, but Shirakawa re‑entered with high‑impact offense, including a Tornillo and a top‑rope crossbody.

Bayne showcased her power, launching Shirakawa from the ring to the floor. After the break, Nightingale regained momentum with spinebusters and heavy strikes. A series of rapid exchanges left all four women down before the match reset.

Bayne delivered a brutal powerbomb to Shafir on the timekeeper’s table, which didn’t break. Back inside, Bayne climbed the ropes, but Nightingale cut her off with a frightening Avalanche German Suplex. Shirakawa hit a shotgun dropkick and backfist, but when she attempted a Figure‑Four, Nightingale caught her in a cradle to retain.

Winner: Willow Nightingale (retains TBS Championship)

Post‑match, Bayne fumed on the ramp while Shirakawa shook Nightingale’s hand.

Tribute to Kerwin Silfies

Commentary honored the late Kerwin Silfies. Tony Schiavone shared memories of working with him early in his career, while Bryan Danielson became emotional, crediting Silfies for teaching him about production during his WWE years.

MJF & Hangman Page – Face‑to‑Face

MJF opened by declaring he hated everything about Page—his look, his wrestling, his “white knight” persona, and the fans who believed Page was on his level. He resented Page’s two victories over him and accused Page of crumbling under pressure every time he reached the top.

Page fired back, calling MJF the real “lucky shot,” referencing Max’s return at Wembley and the low‑blow that won him the title. Page admitted he hated MJF because he saw too much of himself in him—the same desperation for validation. Page said their match at Revolution needed a stipulation and offered a massive gamble: if he lost, he would never challenge for the AEW World Title again.

MJF accepted immediately but said he needed a week to choose his own stipulation. Page insisted he already knew the answer: Texas Death. As Page walked away, the weight of his own promise hit him.

Death Riders Respond to the Callis Family

Jon Moxley, PAC, and Daniel Garcia issued a challenge for Collision. Moxley promised Takeshita that their rematch at Revolution would have no time limits—there must be a winner.

Orange Cassidy & Tomohiro Ishii vs. War Dogs (Gabe Kidd & Clark Connors)

Ishii absorbed heavy punishment early but fired back with stiff chops. Cassidy added comedic strikes before Kidd and Connors took control. Ishii was thrown around ringside as the War Dogs dominated into the break.

Afterward, Ishii and Kidd exchanged brutal strikes until Kidd dropped him with a lariat. Ishii appeared to injure his hamstring, causing the crowd to fall silent. Despite the injury, he continued, hitting a backdrop suplex and a lariat.

Cassidy returned with a spinning DDT and a dive to Kidd. Darby Allin then appeared in the crowd, dragging Kidd away. Cassidy hit an Orange Punch, and Ishii—barely standing—finished Connors with a Brainbuster.

Winners: Orange Cassidy & Tomohiro Ishii

Ishii collapsed afterward, with Cassidy and referee Rick Knox checking on him.

Don Callis Family Segment

The Callis Family attacked several wrestlers backstage. Josh Alexander accepted the Death Riders’ challenge. Kazuchika Okada mocked Takeshita for not appearing, calling himself a real champion. Andrade declared his sights were on the AEW World Title. Callis teased wanting Claudio Castagnoli’s CMLL World Title. The group laughed maniacally as the segment ended.

HOOK Declares Himself Leader of The Opps

HOOK announced that with Samoa Joe injured, he was now the leader of The Opps. He claimed to be the greatest second‑generation wrestler ever and said Shibata was recruiting in Japan while he handled things in the U.S.

The Brawling Birds vs. Viva Van & B3CCA

Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor dominated early, isolating Van. B3CCA entered with a flashy double springboard cutter, but the Birds regained control quickly. After taking out Van on the apron, they hit a stereo clothesline and a Hart Attack—named Two Birds One Stone—for the win.

Winners: The Brawling Birds

Kris Statlander & Thunder Rosa Backstage

Renee Paquette spoke with Kris Statlander and Thunder Rosa. Statlander, still not cleared to wrestle, said she wanted to fight Thekla. Rosa revealed she had been cleared that very day and challenged Thekla herself. Statlander warned Rosa not to underestimate her.

Kevin Knight vs. The Beast Mortos

If Mortos won, LFI would earn a Trios Title shot. Knight opened with speed, hitting a leaping lariat to the floor. Mortos answered with a massive Tornillo and a pop‑up Samoan Drop. Knight rallied with a hang‑time lariat, a bodyslam, and a leaping splash.

Mortos countered a DDT, but Knight hit a top‑rope hurricanrana and a pendulum DDT before landing the UFO Splash for the victory.

Winner: Kevin Knight

Will Ospreay Vignette

Ospreay promised that when he returned, he wouldn’t be “half the animal” he once was—because AEW was where the Billy GOAT wrestles.

Ricochet & G.O.A. Respond to Jack Perry Loss

Ricochet and G.O.A. celebrated putting Jack Perry down last week. Bishop Kaun complained that Knight and Bailey were wrestling singles matches instead of defending the Trios Titles. Toa Liona warned that Jet Set Rodeo would be dragged into deep waters on Saturday. Ricochet then noticed a knife stabbed into his locker door, but the group laughed it off.

Kenny Omega vs. Swerve Strickland (w/ Prince Nana)

The main event delivered a pay‑per‑view‑level performance. The crowd erupted before the bell. Omega hit a hurricanrana early, but Strickland answered with a Fosbury Flop. Omega hit a moonsault off the barricade heading into the break.

Afterward, Omega landed a Kotaro Crusher and You Can’t Escape, but Strickland survived. Strickland countered a V‑Trigger attempt by slamming Omega into the turnbuckles repeatedly. On the apron, Omega hit a Snap Dragon, but Strickland answered with a rolling suplex on the floor.

Strickland hit a 450 Splash to Omega’s back, but Omega kicked out. A series of counters led to Omega hitting a wheel kick, a V‑Trigger, and an Avalanche Dragon Suplex. Strickland claimed his shoulder was hurt, then pulled referee Aubrey Edwards into a V‑Trigger. With no referee, Strickland hit a House Call and had a visual pin.

Strickland removed a turnbuckle pad, slingshotting Omega face‑first into the steel. Paul Turner ran in just as Strickland hit a Swerve Stomp, but Omega kicked out. Omega fired back with a Snap Dragon, V‑Trigger, and Poison Rana. Strickland countered another V‑Trigger with a House Call and finished Omega with Big Pressure.

Winner: Swerve Strickland

Post‑match, Strickland snapped. He attacked Omega, threw Paul Turner from the ring, and wrapped a chain around Omega’s throat, hanging him over the ropes. Danielson begged him to stop. Strickland then hit a Vertebreaker off the ring steps through the commentary table, staring into the camera and repeating, “I needed this,” as the show ended.
