AEW Dynamite + Collision Results – May 20, 2026

AEW Dynamite + Collision Results – May 20, 2026 – Welcome to WrestlingAttitude.com’s coverage of AEW Dynamite for May 20, airing live from the Cross Insurance Arena in Portland, Maine.

Chris Jericho & The Young Bucks Talk Stadium Stampede

We see footage from earlier in the day with Chris Jericho and The Young Bucks discussing their upcoming Stadium Stampede match at Double or Nothing. The Bucks joke that they should go by The Bucks of Jericho, but Jericho fires back with his own idea — Y2Jackson — insisting it has a better ring to it.

Chris Jericho & The Young Bucks vs. Ricochet, Andrade El Idolo & Mark Davis

Don Callis joins commentary, bragging that he’s known Jericho long enough to feed his entire playbook to his team. Jericho opens with heavy chops on Andrade, who immediately rolls to the floor and starts flirting with two women at ringside, even posing for selfies. When he turns back around, Jericho cracks him with another chop and throws him inside, where Jericho and The Bucks hit a springboard splash–moonsault–fist drop combo.

Davis tags in and easily overpowers Nick, but Nick uses his speed to slip out of the corner and tag Matt. Matt runs wild, wall‑walking off Ricochet to hit a Sliced Bread on Andrade. He superkicks Davis on the floor, then inside hits rolling Northern Lights on Andrade before switching mid‑sequence into a Cazadora facebuster on Ricochet and a double Northern Lights on both men. The Bucks hit stereo dives, Jericho follows with a splash onto the pile, and the trio strike a pose — but the heels regroup fast and cut off Nick. Ricochet even steals Nick’s headband and wears it mockingly.

Nick fights free with a lucha‑style arm drag and tags Jericho, who blasts Andrade with a double sledge and a bulldog. Ricochet stops a Lionsault and chaos breaks out. Jericho and The Bucks hit synchronized corner punches into a three‑way hurricanrana. Jericho swings for the Judas Effect, Andrade ducks, and eats a double superkick for two. The Bucks unleash a Superkick Party until Andrade halts it with the Three Amigos, finishing the last one by suplexing Nick onto Matt.

Andrade climbs up for his rolling moonsault, but Matt gets the knees up. Matt launches off Nick’s back into a Destroyer on Andrade, followed by a BTE Trigger — but Andrade somehow kicks out. Ricochet breaks the pin with a Rico‑sault. Jericho tries the Walls, Ricochet spins out, hits a bicycle knee, but Jericho clotheslines him and baseball‑slides him to the floor. They brawl into the crowd and onto the timekeeper’s table. Ricochet tries a suplex, Jericho reverses into a back suplex, and both crash through the table.

Back in the ring, Davis cuts off The Bucks, but Matt ducks and Andrade accidentally nails Davis with his spinning back elbow. Andrade then eats another BTE Trigger, but kicks out again. The Bucks call for the Meltzer Driver, but the referee is distracted by Davis bringing in a chair. Clark Connors and David Finlay sprint out — Connors trips Nick, Finlay blasts Matt with a shillelagh — and Andrade steals the pin.

Winners: Ricochet, Andrade El Idolo & Mark Davis

Post‑Match Chaos

The Gates of Agony hit the ring and join the beatdown. Jack Perry runs out wielding a bag of onions — yes, onions — and smacks Liona with it, who barely reacts. The Hurt Syndicate’s music hits and Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin charge in. A massive brawl erupts around the arena, ending with Lashley drilling Liona with a huge spear to stand tall heading into Stadium Stampede.

Video Package

A highlight package airs for Kazuchika Okada vs. Konosuke Takeshita for the International Championship at Double or Nothing. Don Callis says they need to get this fight out of their systems because, in his mind, they’re Jordan and Pippen.

Renee Paquette With Darby Allin

Renee is backstage with Darby Allin and asks why he insists on defending the AEW World Championship as often as he does. Darby says he doesn’t feel like he has a choice — being World Champion is exactly what he imagined it would be, the greatest feeling in the world, and with that comes the responsibility to fight. He says Sunday is huge, especially with MJF putting his hair on the line. Darby calls MJF the most vain man alive, and if he loses his hair, every red carpet and every camera flash will haunt him forever.

Darby says that tonight, facing Speedball Mike Bailey, he’ll do whatever it takes to keep the title — and he expects Bailey to bring that same level of desperation. No matter what happens, Darby says he’s ready to push himself to the limit to stay champion.

– A video package then rolls, recapping the entire history between Darby Allin and MJF, along with highlights from Darby’s wild, relentless AEW World Title reign.

Mark Briscoe vs. Tommaso Ciampa — Anything Goes Match

Mark Briscoe comes out in a white tank top — which is basically a guarantee it won’t stay white for long — and immediately drags a trash can full of weapons to the ring. The bell rings and both men start swinging for the fences. Briscoe tries to smash Ciampa with the trash can, but Ciampa takes out his legs and grabs the first weapon he can reach. He pulls out another trash can from under the ring, only to snap his hand in a rat trap Briscoe planted. Briscoe sets up a table on the floor, sits Ciampa in a chair, and wipes him out with a Blockbuster off the apron.

Briscoe wraps a chain around Ciampa’s throat and lays him across the table, but he’s too slow climbing up — Ciampa recovers and sends Briscoe crashing through the wood. Back inside, Ciampa grabs a cheese grater and drags it across Briscoe’s forehead, drawing blood instantly as the crowd chants “You sick f***.” Ciampa jams a crowbar into Briscoe’s mouth, then throws a ladder into the ring. He drops a trash can over Briscoe’s head and swings a kendo stick like he’s trying to hit a home run. Briscoe gets tossed outside, Ciampa wraps a chair around his throat, and drives him into the ring post.

During picture‑in‑picture, Ciampa gets in Taz’s face for no reason, and Taz warns him he’ll get choked out by “metal limbs.” Ciampa then pulls out a stuffed chicken to mock Briscoe, stomps it, cheese‑graters it, and even hits a lungblower on it before covering it for two — Briscoe breaks the pin. Briscoe, now bleeding heavily, blasts Ciampa with a fire extinguisher and hits an Exploder that sends Ciampa to the floor. Briscoe sets up another table and staples barbed wire onto it with a staple gun. He focuses too long, and Ciampa rakes the barbed wire across Briscoe’s face. Ciampa grabs papers from the announce desk and staples them to Briscoe’s head as he crawls around with them still attached.

Ciampa straps on a knee pad covered in thumbtacks, but misses a running knee and Briscoe drop‑toe‑holds him into the ladder. Briscoe grabs a screwdriver and stabs away at Ciampa’s forehead. Ciampa escapes a DVD in the corner and suplexes Briscoe onto the ladder for two.

They trade heavy shots until Ciampa connects with the tack‑covered knee. He sets up two chairs and tries the same Avalanche Psycho Killer that put Briscoe out months ago, but Briscoe slips free, resets the chairs back‑to‑back, and hits a brutal Iconoclasm onto them. Briscoe drags Ciampa to the apron and hits a Jay Driller through the barbed‑wire table. He throws Ciampa back inside, climbs up, and lands the Froggy Bow to win an absolute war.

Winner: Mark Briscoe

Tony Schiavone, Prince Nana & Swerve Strickland / Bandido Brawl

Tony Schiavone is in the ring to talk about the Owen Hart Tournament when Prince Nana interrupts, clowning Tony’s outfit and telling him he looks like a substitute teacher lecturing idiots. Nana kicks him out of the ring and introduces Swerve Strickland, who makes his way down slowly — until Bandido blindsides him.

Bandido smashes Swerve into the barricade, then launches himself with a somersault dive. He slams Swerve into the steps. Nana tries to hit Bandido with a chair from behind, gets caught, but the distraction lets Swerve chop out Bandido’s leg and unload with punches in the ring. Swerve sets up a chair and looks for a Vertebreaker on it, but Bandido slips out and hits a one‑arm press slam.

Bandido sets for the 21‑Plex, Swerve grabs the chair, and we get a strange beat where Swerve tosses the chair at Bandido, Bandido catches it, and they stare each other down until Swerve bails. The crowd was oddly quiet, but the fight itself was strong.

Willow Nightingale Relinquishes the TBS Championship

Backstage, Willow Nightingale speaks with the TBS Title over her shoulder. She says winning the championship was one of the greatest moments of her career — just like winning the Owen before it. She knew that beating Mercedes Moné would prove she truly was everything she believed she could be. She promised herself she’d defend the title against anyone, anytime, and if she couldn’t do that, she didn’t deserve to hold it.

Willow reveals that during her defense against Red Velvet, she injured her right shoulder. As much as she wants to compete in the Owen Hart Tournament again — especially in front of her family at Double or Nothing against Alex Windsor — she can’t. She’s withdrawing from the tournament and relinquishing the TBS Championship.

After ten successful defenses, she says she’s proud to have been the face of TBS. She doesn’t know when she’ll return, but when she does, she’s coming straight back to the top. Willow thanks everyone with a smile and walks away. Her tournament spot is now listed as a Wild Card entry.

Commentary puts her over as a class act and expresses how heartbreaking it is to see her forced to give up the title.

Jon Moxley vs. Kyle O’Reilly — AEW Continental Title Eliminator

Renee Paquette is at ringside, noting this is Kyle O’Reilly’s first true singles test since returning from injury. She asks Moxley about O’Reilly having submitted him multiple times in the past. Moxley simply tells her he’s a better man today than he was yesterday.

They start with tight, technical grappling — pure mat work — until Moxley abruptly blasts O’Reilly with a forearm and a boot, then zeroes in on the left wrist. O’Reilly changes levels, sweeps the leg, and fires off corner kicks. Moxley tries shaking out his leg, but O’Reilly plants him with a snap suplex for two. They trade forearms, jabs, and paint‑brush slaps until Moxley digs a shot into the ribs that drops O’Reilly, drawing a grin from the champion. Moxley keeps hammering the body. O’Reilly low‑bridges him to the floor, teases a dive, but stops short, clutching his ribs. Moxley stays in control as Arkady Aura calls ten minutes gone.

O’Reilly fires back with a suplex into the corner, and now Moxley clutches his left leg. They trade corner charges until O’Reilly hits a kitchen sink and a diving knee from the second rope. They spill outside and trade running boots before a double clothesline leaves both down. Back inside, they fight up the ropes. Moxley bites O’Reilly’s head and rakes his back at the fifteen‑minute call, then hits a superplex. O’Reilly counters the Bulldog Choke into an ankle lock. Moxley rolls through into a Gator Roll and back into the choke, but O’Reilly reaches the ropes.

On the apron, Moxley tries a piledriver, but O’Reilly spikes the bad arm on the edge of the ring and hits a running dropkick into the barricade. Back inside, Moxley bursts out with a cutter for two and rains down forearms. O’Reilly snatches an arm‑triangle, transitions into an Exploder, then drills a PK — but collapses from the damage.

At the sixty‑second call, both struggle up. Moxley misses a curb stomp, and O’Reilly grabs the ankle lock dead‑center, grapevining the leg. The crowd erupts as Moxley teases tapping — but the bell rings.

20‑Minute Time‑Limit Draw

Post‑match, O’Reilly storms to the mic. He says he didn’t “survive” anything — Moxley barely survived him. He declares he has a legitimate claim to the Continental Title and demands a rematch with no time limit, promising Moxley will run out of luck.

Renee Paquette With Kris Statlander & Hikaru Shida

Renee asks for their thoughts on Willow Nightingale relinquishing the TBS Title. Statlander starts to answer, but Shida immediately cuts her off, saying they’ll fight together on Sunday and will be watching the Owen Hart Tournament closely. Statlander — who tells Renee she’ll be cleared by Sunday — warns Shida to watch herself and storms off. Shida turns back to the camera and tells the women in the tournament to be ready.

Rush Issues a Challenge to Darby Allin

Rush is backstage, already fired up, and says if Darby Allin walks out of Double or Nothing still AEW World Champion after facing MJF, then he wants the next shot. He reminds everyone that when you mess with the bull, you get the horns — and he’s coming straight for the top prize.

Athena & Triangle of Madness vs. Thunder Rosa, Mina Shirakawa & The Brawling Birds

Rosa and Athena start fast, trading sharp shots until Alex Windsor tags in — and immediately gets chopped in the throat by Athena. Skye Blue enters, but Jamie Hayter blind‑tags herself in, storms the ring so quickly she accidentally boots her own partner before dropping Blue for a two count. Thekla and Shirakawa tag in next, with Shirakawa hitting a snap dropkick to the back and giving the crowd a shimmy. She avoids a corner charge and nails her Tornillo for two.

Athena cheap‑shots Shirakawa from the apron, letting Thekla take over. Shirakawa gets trapped in the heel corner for a long stretch. Athena tags in hot, hits a handspring forearm, and rolls her into an inside cradle for two. Shirakawa nearly catches her with a La Mistica, leaving both down.

Rosa and Blue tag in, and Rosa explodes with a flying corner clothesline and a double‑down combo. A stalling dropkick into the ropes leads to a Northern Lights for two. Thekla breaks it up but runs straight into a Hayt‑breaker. Hart hits a lungblower, Windsor plants her with a Blue Thunder Bomb, Athena hits her own twisted finisher, and the chaos keeps piling up until Rosa and Athena knock each other down with a double uppercut — all eight women are down.

Shirakawa cuts off Athena’s dive with a high kick. She leaps off the apron for a crossbody, Athena catches her, but Shirakawa spins it into a DDT on the floor. Thekla blind‑tags in but gets blasted by a shotgun dropkick from Rosa. Blue blindsides Rosa with a running knee. She tries Code Blue, but The Brawling Birds trip her from the outside and hit a leg‑sweep/big‑boot combo.

Thekla grabs the AEW Women’s Title to use as a weapon, but referee Mike Posey snatches it away. The distraction lets Hart spit mist into Rosa’s eyes. Thekla dives in and steals the pin as the babyfaces check on Rosa and the heels celebrate up the ramp.

Winners: Athena & Triangle of Madness

Kevin Knight & Speedball Mike Bailey Backstage

Kevin Knight hypes up Speedball Mike Bailey before his World Title match, telling him they can be the faces of AEW together. Knight says when Bailey wins the AEW World Championship, he better not forget the “little people” — and he wants another shot at the title. Bailey immediately agrees.

Renee Paquette Interviews The Death Riders

Renee tries to get a word with The Death Riders backstage, but all three are doing push‑ups in unison. She asks Moxley what his mindset is heading into Sunday’s No Time Limit match against Kyle O’Reilly.

Moxley says he wants to thank O’Reilly — for pushing him, for driving him insane, for forcing him to confront the fact he hasn’t found the answer to beating him yet. He thanks him for giving him the chance to practice what he preaches. Win, lose, or draw, O’Reilly has done something extraordinary: he’s tapped Moxley out twice. But what are the odds he does it a third time?

Moxley says at Double or Nothing, the house always wins. Game 7 is the only game that matters, and when everything is on the line, the question becomes simple — does Jon Moxley miss?

Darby Allin vs. Speedball Mike Bailey — AEW World Championship

Excalibur plugs Darby Allin’s new ESPN interview with Andreas Hale just as MJF’s music hits. MJF walks to commentary before the bell even rings. Bailey wastes zero time — big boot, corner dropkick, corkscrew kick — and he already teases the Ultima Weapon, but Darby rolls to the apron. Bailey peppers him with kicks, sweeps the leg, and Darby takes a nasty neck bump on the apron. Bailey follows with a Triangle Moonsault to the floor.

MJF mocks Bailey’s purple gear, calling it “Grimace mode,” while Bailey crushes Darby with double knees to the ribs — one on the floor, one off the steps. Bailey climbs the barricade, but Darby sweeps his legs out and plants him with a Scorpion Death Drop on top of the barricade.

Back inside, Darby clamps on a guillotine. Bailey charges through the ropes and both crash to the floor. They trade shots ringside until Darby drops the steel steps onto Bailey’s bare foot. Bailey still fires a thrust kick with the free leg. Darby meets him instantly with a wild tope. Back inside, Darby goes for a Coffin Splash but leaps straight into a backstabber. Bailey hits the corkscrew corner kick but misses Ultima Weapon — Darby hits a Coffin Drop to the back.

MJF stands up and places Bailey’s foot on the ropes to break the pin. Kevin Knight sprints out and gets in MJF’s face. MJF insists he’s “just doing commentary.” Bailey nearly steals it with a headlock pin, Darby counters into La Magistral, Bailey counters again into a straightjacket bridge for two. A vicious roundhouse drops Darby, and Bailey hits Time Adventure for a razor‑close near fall.

A PK, moonsault double knees, and thrust kick send Darby into the corner. Bailey sets for the Flamingo Driver, but Darby escapes into a Scorpion Death Drop. He locks in the Scorpion Death Lock. Knight shouts encouragement, Bailey claws to the ropes and makes it. Darby immediately hits another Coffin Drop to the back and reapplies the Scorpion Death Lock. Bailey reaches toward Knight — but has no choice but to tap.

Winner: Darby Allin (retains the AEW World Championship)

MJF storms off through the crowd, knowing there are no more obstacles between him and Sunday — and his hair is officially on the line.

Collision — JetSpeed, Darby Allin & MJF

Collision opens with Kevin Knight in the ring, mic in hand, helping Speedball Mike Bailey back to his feet after the main‑event war on Dynamite. Knight tells Bailey to keep his head high — he just gave Darby Allin the toughest fight of his entire title reign, and he’s proud of him. Knight says Bailey fought like a champion tonight, and Darby proved once again that AEW is where the best wrestle. Nobody has heart like Darby Allin.

Knight turns his attention to Sunday. He says it’s up to Darby to humble MJF’s arrogant ass. If Knight can beat MJF, then Darby sure as hell can — shave him bald and send him back to Turkey. Knight tells Darby the fans believe in him, JetSpeed believes in him, and he better not let them down.

JetSpeed help Darby to his feet and head up the ramp… which leaves Darby alone long enough for MJF to blindside him from behind.

The crowd immediately erupts with “BALD! BALD! BALD!” chants, waving Bald signs as MJF holds up the AEW World Title and screams that he’ll win it for the third time. MJF digs under the ring and pulls out hair clippers. He tries to shave Darby’s head, but Darby fights him off, takes him down, and gets hold of the clippers himself. Darby is inches away from taking a chunk of MJF’s hair when MJF panics and bolts up the aisle with pure terror on his face.

Death Riders Hype Up Will Ospreay

Backstage, the Death Riders surround Will Ospreay, firing him up before his upcoming match. They slap his shoulders, shout encouragement, and tell him to go out there and tear the house down.

Will Ospreay vs. Katsuyori Shibata

Renee Paquette is at ringside and brings up Ospreay’s new armbar, Death Ground, noting that Shibata has never submitted in his career. The bell rings — and Shibata instantly dives into a leaping cross armbar, forcing Ospreay to scramble to the ropes. Shibata offers a handshake; Ospreay flips him off and shoots for the ankle. Shibata escapes, suplexes Ospreay on the apron, hangs on, and hits another on the floor.

He sits Ospreay in a chair, fakes a running start, then boots him square in the face. Back inside, Ospreay fires a Helluva Kick and corner forearms, but Shibata answers with his own. A big boot sends Shibata outside, and Ospreay follows with a slingshot crossbody. Shibata regains control by throwing Ospreay into the barricade and unloading anvil elbows to the neck.

Ospreay suddenly explodes with a handspring corkscrew kick and hits Pip Pip Cheerio for two. Kawada kicks lead to a powerbomb attempt, but Shibata floats into a guillotine. Ospreay reaches the ropes, but Shibata blasts him with the corner dropkick and a half‑and‑half suplex for two.

They start no‑selling each other’s kicks until Ospreay cracks him with a spinning elbow and hits a Falcon Arrow. A flying forearm to the back of the neck sets up Hidden Blade, but Anthony Bowens appears and trips Ospreay. Shibata steals Hidden Blade for a near fall. Marina Shafir and Claudio Castagnoli are shown watching from the crowd; Shafir hops the barricade and Bowens bails.

Shibata hits a low blow and snaps on a cross‑arm breaker, but Ospreay stacks him into a powerbomb and transitions into a Styles Clash. Hidden Blade connects clean, and that finally puts Shibata down.

Winner: Will Ospreay

Post‑Match — Samoa Joe Confronts Ospreay

Samoa Joe’s music hits and he walks out with The Opps behind him. Joe says Ospreay’s “wonderful friends” keep saving him, but he’s not here for them — he’s here because soon, he’ll have Ospreay all to himself. Ospreay chose not to stand with Joe, so now he’ll suffer for it. At Double or Nothing, Joe promises to give Ospreay his dream match… and put him to sleep.

Ospreay fires back. He says Sunday is a dream come true — Joe calls it a nightmare, but Ospreay’s real nightmare is waking up next to his wife, grabbing her ass, checking his phone, and seeing people say he’s washed or too skinny. “No sh*t, I had neck surgery.” He talks about the stakes: the winner of the Owen gets a World Title shot in the biggest stadium of his life, carrying the weight of his entire country. The Death Riders killed the old Ospreay — now he’s a killer, an assassin. Sunday begins his road to the AEW World Championship.

A phenomenal promo from both men.

Adam Copeland & Christian Cage Backstage

Copeland and Cage sit together and talk about the origins of their friendship — dreaming of being Tag Team Champions, doing everything together, even finding out they were having daughters six weeks apart (Cage looks disgusted). They say their bond is real, and FTR wants to kill that connection. Copeland wants the best version of FTR — the one that dropped his wife on her head — because they want to beat the best and make them say “I Quit.” Cage says when you’re born, you look like your family; when you die, you look like your choices. At Double or Nothing, they’re going to mess FTR up.

Rush vs. TJ Crawford

Crawford offers a handshake. Rush accepts… and doesn’t let go, blasting him with a brutal forearm. He chops him to pieces, smashes him in the corner, and finishes him instantly with the Bulls Horns.

Winner: Rush

Divine Dominion (Lena Kross & Megan Bayne) vs. Elle Valentine & Kayla Lopez — AEW Women’s Tag Team Title Eliminator (5‑Minute Challenge)

Renee Paquette is at ringside putting over the champions when Lena Kross cuts her off, saying the only question is how fast this ends. Megan Bayne storms Valentine immediately, ramming shoulders into the corner. Valentine slips away, lands one chop, smiles… and instantly regrets it as the crowd chants “You F’d Up.” Bayne drags her to the corner, where Kross unloads rapid‑fire elbows and a spinning side suplex.

Lopez tags in and immediately gets her face booted off by Kross. Locomotion corner boots follow, and Bayne steps in with a release German. Divine Dominion hoist both opponents for stereo delayed vertical suplexes, then finish Lopez with their double chokeslam. The clock shows 2:10 still remaining.

Winners: Divine Dominion

– A video recap airs showing past AEW hair matches — Ortiz shaving his head after losing to Chris Jericho, and Wheeler Yuta getting shaved bald in Australia at Grand Slam.

– Excalibur runs through the full Double or Nothing lineup, hitting every match and stipulation heading into Sunday.
