AEW Dynamite Results 3/25 - Women's World Championship Up For Grabs, Kenny Omega Faces Swerve Strickland
Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s live coverage for "AEW Dynamite" on March 25, 2026, coming to you from the Roy Wilkins Auditorium in St. Paul, Minnesota!
Thekla of Triangle Of Madness will be putting the AEW Women's World Championship on the line as she defends against Mina Shirakawa. Thekla most recently retained her AEW Women's World Championship against former titleholder Kris Statlander in a 2 Out Of 3 Falls Match at AEW Revolution on March 15. Last Wednesday's edition of "Dynamite" saw Shirakawa emerge victorious against The Death Riders' Marina Shafir in a No Holds Barred Match to take the place of her close friend Toni Storm after Storm had been attacked by an unknown assailant earlier that same night.
AEW World Champion MJF has had several challengers emerge over the course of the last several weeks, including Kenny Omega, Swerve Strickland, and most recently, Darby Allin last Wednesday. Omega looks to secure his shot when he collides with Strickland in a match that will see the former lose his Executive Vice President title to Strickland and not get his title shot if he loses, as per Strickland's terms from last Wednesday's show. Allin will also be competing in a match of his own as he goes head-to-head with La Faccion Ingobernable's Rush, and MJF will be making an appearance with something on his mind to share coming off his Texas Death Match against "Hangman" Adam Page at Revolution.
After becoming the newest member of The Conglomeration during this past Saturday's "AEW Collision" Slam Dunk television special, Roderick Strong will be joining forces with his longtime ally and new stablemate Orange Cassidy to take on David Finlay and Clark Connors of The Dogs. Cassidy met Finlay in the ring on the March 11 episode of "Dynamite" when the former and the aforementioned Allin came up short to the latter and his stablemate Gabe Kidd.

MJF then makes his way to the ring.
We Hear From MJF
MJF demands that the live crowd show him respect as AEW World Champion and says fans are looking into the eyes of the man who hanged the "Hangman". He says "Hangman" Adam Page can never challenge for the AEW World Championship ever again, then says Page didn't put up much of a fight in their Texas Death Match at Revolution and claims that it was the easiest match of his career.
MJF gloats about holding the AEW World Championship and says there's no higher prize or grander honor in the professional wrestling business, then says no one deserves it more than him because his name is MJF and he's better than the fans and they know it. He says no one is on the level of the devil.
Kenny Omega's music hits, and he makes his way out. He stares down MJF, but MJF asks Omega if he can help him. Omega says MJF will have to excuse his state and his smell because of his match against Swerve Strickland, then asks MJF what his excuse is and says he's been hearing MJF talk about. He says MJF has gone as far as calling himself "The Devil" and rattles off his own nicknames, then says even at the height of being a heel, he never put himself on a pedestal above others like MJF does.
Omega says if MJF wants to call himself "The Devil", he'll call himself "The God of Professional Wrestling" and says while he couldn't defeat Strickland in their first match on the February 18 episode of "Dynamite", it taught him a lesson that professional wrestling is just as much about what happens out of the ring as it does inside it. He says the current version of himself is pretty close to 100% and is better than MJF, then says the fans know it and the most important part is that MJF knows it as well. He extends his hand to MJF and says he wants his AEW World Championship match at Dynasty. MJF accepts, but refuses to shake Omega's hand and exits the ring.
As MJF heads to the back, Omega says it's fine that MJF didn't shake his hand because everyone has heard his catchphrase one to many times. He bids the fans adieu and goodnight.
