AEW Rebel Heart Dynamite Results 9/9/26


It’s Wednesday, and you know what that means …

All Elite Wrestling returns tonight at 8/7c on TBS and HBO Max, as the special AEW Rebel Heart Dynamite show emanates from Akins Ford Arena in Athens, GA.

In Memory Of: “The Butcher” Andy Williams

The first thing we see is a special ‘In Memory Of’ graphic honoring the late AEW veteran “The Butcher” Andy Williams. Fans inside the arena live in Athena, GA. can be overheard chanting his name in the background as the tribute cold open fades out.

The special Rebel Heart tribute edition of AEW Dynamite kicks off live, with Excalibur mentioning AEWTogether.org/RebelHeart and I Am ALS. He is joined by the rest of the commentary team to run down the lineup for tonight’s show as the official match graphics flash across the screen.

The Waiting Room With Dr. Britt Baker, Rebel & Special Guests Persephone & Hikaru Shida

From there, we send things over to “The Waiting Room,” the old talk-show segment from AEW’s early days starring Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. and Rebel. Tonight’s guest of honor is in a wheelchair and struggling to speak, but looks to be having a blast judging on the ear-to-ear smile on her face.

Rebel introduces the host, Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D., who thanks “Reba” and says it is great to see her again. Baker then welcomes her first guest, new TBS Champion Persephone. Persephone talks about defeating Maya World and taking the TBS Championship from her at AEW All In.

Baker next introduces Hikaru Shida, noting that Shida famously broke her nose several years ago. Shida says she hates Maya even more now as the three discuss their upcoming trios match. Baker, Persephone and Shida leave together, while Rebel unsuccessfully tries to remind Baker to take her glove.

AEW Trios Championships
Swerve Strickland & The New Level (c) vs. The Conglomeration

From there, we head to ringside for tonight’s opening contest. The Conglomeration trio of Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong and Kyle O’Reilly makes their entrance first. Once they settle inside the squared circle, the theme for Swerve Strickland hits and out he comes with Prince Nana.

They stop and wait. Their music dies down and the tune for The New Level duo of Kofi and Austin Creed hits. Out they come to join Swerve, and the three newly crowned AEW Trios Champions head to the ring together for our opening contest.

Fans chant “New Le-vel! New Le-vel!” in the same style that WWE fans would chant “New Day-rocks! New Day-rocks!” Kofi and Creed dance around a bit to the chants. The bell sounds to get things officially off-and-running in this opening title tilt.

Kicking things off for their respective teams at the onset are Orange Cassidy and Kofi. Kofi takes Cassidy down with a go-behind, but Cassidy rolls through and gains control of the arm. Kofi responds with a shoulder tackle off the ropes before Cassidy connects with a flying mare and gives him a thumbs-up.

Kofi shows respect as both men tag out. Kyle O’Reilly and Austin Creed enter the match and feel each other out. O’Reilly lands a series of leg kicks, but Creed catches one and trips him to the mat. Creed follows with a running shoulder tackle before tagging Kofi back in for some double-team offense.

Roderick Strong enters and goes after everyone. Strong uses Cassidy as a weapon against Kofi and Creed before delivering a fall-away slam that sends Cassidy crashing into Swerve Strickland. Creed becomes isolated as the challengers take turns connecting with clotheslines in the corner.

The action continues as we head to a commercial break. When the show returns, O’Reilly is in control and unloads on Creed with a series of kicks. Creed eventually begins fighting back, mounting a strong offensive comeback as the crowd rallies behind him.

Creed fights to his feet with a series of chops, but O’Reilly quickly responds. O’Reilly looks for a suplex, only for Creed to counter with one of his own as both men remain down. Creed crawls to his corner and tags Kofi Kingston, while Roderick Strong enters for the opposing team.

Strong knocks Orange Cassidy from the apron, but Cassidy responds with a dropkick. Kofi follows with an escalera for a two-count before connecting with a leg drop. Kofi sets up for Trouble in Paradise, but Strong counters with a backbreaker. Swerve Strickland tags in and blocks another backbreaker attempt from Strong.

Strong sends Swerve over the ropes, but Creed makes the blind tag. The champions deliver a triple-team combination that ends with Kofi connecting with a double stomp. Creed brings Swerve back into the ring and covers him for two. Cassidy and Kofi tag in as all six men enter the ring.

Cassidy catches Swerve with the Stundog Millionaire, but the champions respond by hitting Cassidy with a triple-team combination. The action eventually comes back to Swerve and Cassidy. Orange takes Swerve down, prompting Kofi and Creed to intervene.

They attempt a double suplex, but Cassidy counters with a double headlock while keeping his hands in his pockets. He delivers a series of kicks to Swerve before Kofi and Creed launch him toward their partner, only for Cassidy to take Swerve down with a head-scissors.

The champions quickly regain control and connect with Daybreak on Cassidy to score the pinfall and retain their titles. There is no time for the champions to celebrate, as The Demand make their way onto the stage and call for a rematch.

The two sides prepare to fight until “Hangman” Adam Page and Brodido come out to even the odds. The Demand and Lethal Twist retreat up the ramp, leaving the former and current champions to exchange a tense stare-down in the ring.

The back of the wheelchair says “Role Model.” They stop at the top of the ramp and the crowd is roaring and chanting for Rebel. Rebel breaks down in tears — bad. Britt Baker does, too. Very, very emotional stuff.

This leads into an even more emotional, tear-jerking video package airs highlighting Rebel’s battle with ALS and the Rebel Heart initiative. The commentary team previews more of tonight’s action and then the show heads into another commercial break.

Women’s Division Chaos With Thekla, Mercedes Moné & Willow Nightingale

Thekla makes her way to the ring and calls for her “dumb bitches” in Atlanta. She says she does not need a championship to celebrate because the party follows her wherever she goes.

Thekla turns her attention to Mercedes Moné, saying that while others grew up as wrestling fans, she was performing in a punk band in Austria. She recalls witnessing a man being beaten in a basement before using a chicken to help fight off the attackers.

Thekla then says she hopes Moné’s championship still smells like “sex, drugs and rock and roll.” Mercedes Moné interrupts and introduces herself as “Big D Moné,” telling Thekla to ask Willow Nightingale what that tastes like.

Moné says she is not concerned about Thekla because she has dealt with bigger egos throughout her career and always emerged on top. Thekla says the two can at least agree that Willow is “the dumbest bitch in AEW history.”

Before she can continue, Willow’s music hits. Willow charges into the ring and goes directly after Thekla, who quickly retreats. Skye Blue and Julia Hart join Thekla on the entrance ramp as the two sides exchange words from a distance. We head to another break.

Backstage With The Death Riders & Will Ospreay

When the show returns, we shoot backstage, where PAC questions Jon Moxley’s decision to trust Will Ospreay, arguing that Ospreay was never truly a member of the Death Riders.

Daniel Garcia defends Ospreay and says the AEW World Champion has always treated him well. Gabe Kidd criticizes Garcia before reminding the group that the Death Riders left Ospreay hospitalized with a broken neck one year ago.

Ospreay then enters and confronts Moxley. He asks whether Moxley will bring the Death Riders to their AEW World Championship match at All Out or face him alone in a 60-minute contest.

Ospreay acknowledges that Moxley is the only man to pin him this year but says he has a plan for their title match. After Ospreay leaves, an angered Moxley kicks away his chair and begins pacing around the room while PAC watches him closely.
