AEW Dynamite Results 3/18 - No Holds Barred Match, Coffin Match & More
Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s live coverage for "AEW Dynamite" on March 18, 2026, coming to you live from the Save Mart Center in Fresno, California!
After Toni Storm emerged victorious against Marina Shafir in a singles match with their allies banned from ringside this past Sunday at AEW Revolution, Ronda Rousey made her debut in AEW and stared down Storm before officials became evolved and Rousey left with Shafir. Following such, Shafir has her chance to seek retribution on Storm when the pair go one-on-one in a No Holds Barred Match tonight.
Archrivals Darby Allin and The Dogs' Gabe Kidd have squared off against one another on several occasions in singles, tag team, and trios competition on five separate occasions, including Revolution wherein Allin, Roderick Strong, and Orange Cassidy scored a win against Kidd and his stablemates David Finlay and Clark Connors. Tonight, they will be meeting in the ring with one another once again as they collide in a Coffin Match.
Will Ospreay made his return to AEW during Sunday's pay-per-view event when he confronted Jon Moxley and the rest of The Death Riders moments after Moxley had retained his Continental Championship against Konosuke Takeshita. Following such, Ospreay will be taking on Blake Christian in what will mark his first time competing in a ring since himself, Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and the aforementioned Allin defeated The Death Riders, The Young Bucks, and Gabe Kidd in a Lights Out Steel Cage Match at aeW x NJPW Forbidden Door on August 24, 2025.
We are live! Excalibur, Tony Schiavone, and Bryan Danielson greet audiences at home before we head over to a video recapping the events of Revolution.

Winner: Will Ospreay
After the match, Ospreay grabs a microphone and says he missed the fans. He calls out Jon Moxley and says the biggest difference between him and Moxley is that he doesn't need a weapon to snatch someone's neck. He says he can do it with his bare hands.
The Death Riders' music hits, and Moxley makes his way out along with Wheeler Yuta. Moxley and Ospreay begin to brawl, with Ospreay throwing a garbage can at Moxley.

Gabe Kidd vs. Darby Allin in a Coffin Match
We then head outside the arena, where Allin tries running over Kidd with a car. He rains down right hands on Kidd, but Kidd sends Allin crashing into the hood of Allin's car and chokes him out. Allin uses a rag to chloroform Kidd and dumps him into the trunk of his car, then flips his car using the nearby dumpster and crawls out of it as Kidd is still trapped in the trunk. Kidd frees himself from the trunk, but Allin places him on a road case and wheels him out to ringside.
The bell rings and Allin sits Kidd on a chair. He fires off right hands on him and puts him in a straightjacket, then looks to crack his skateboard across Kidd's head.
