AEW Dynamite Results 3/18 - No Holds Barred Match, Coffin Match & More

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results 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.

He says arenas filled with fans still love and believe in him and Nick, then says their father wasn't wrong about this and says himself and Nick know who they are.
