AEW Dynamite Results (February 18, 2026): Live Match Updates and Highlights
The show begins with a comment welcoming us as a cut promo contestant for the TBS Championship 4-way match. Kenny Omega and Swerve Strickland also cut some promos.
Then we head to the backside and Orange Cassidy talks to Roderick Strong and turns on The Conglomeration. He then welcomes back Tomohiro Ishii and will team up with him later tonight to take on Gabe Kidd and Clark Connors.
Jon Moxley then makes his way down to the ring for the first match of the night, followed by Mark Davis.
AEW Continental Championship Eliminator Match: AEW Continental Champion Jon Moxley of Death Riders vs. Mark Davis of Don Callis Family
The match begins with both men locking up before Mark Davis overpowers Jon Moxley. Moxley then applies a wristlock as Davis drives him into the ropes. Davis then lands a few shoulder tackles and then a jumping knee strike. Davis then hits a chop. Moxley then retaliates with a chop of his own, but a sunset flip attempt misses and he ends up paying the price. The action then spreads to the outside and Davis hits a hard chop on Moxley.
Then Davis misfired and hit the steel ring post. Davis’ hand opened. Moxley then hits the Tope Suicida. Moxley then twists and bites Davis’ finger. Moxley then stomps on his injured hand on the steel steps. Moxley then slipped into the ring and beat the referee’s count, but Davis wasn’t looking good. Moxley then continues to attack Davis. Davis then fires back at Moxley and slams him to the mat. Davis then followed up with a senton.
The match goes back outside the ring and Davis crushes Moxley against the barricade. Davis returns to the ring and goes for a high-flying move, but Moxley blocks it. Moxley then hits a superplex on Davis. Moxley then gets back up and trades shots, then goes for a sunset flip on Davis again, but Moxley slips out. Moxley starts to fight back with less than 10 minutes left in the match, but Davis takes him down hard. Davis fights off a shot from Moxley and hits a lariat off the ropes, and both men get to their feet. A piledriver is blocked as Moxley escapes to the corner and catches Davis with a rollup for two-four. Davis counters with a gutwrench and piledriver, but Moxley closes in and kicks out for two.
Davis then locks Moxley in a side headlock, but Moxley hits Davis with a stomp before getting back to his feet, sending him face-first into the canvas. Davis got back to his feet and traded shots with Moxley, who countered with a back suplex and a bulldog choke. Davis then made a quick tap and the referee called for the bell.
AEW Continental Championship Eliminator match winner, AEW Continental Champion Jon Moxley of The Death Riders!
“Hangman: Adam Page after his match at Grand Slam Australia. He promises to destroy himself if MJF enters the Revolution as champion. Page then tells MJF to look him in the eyes so he knows he’s telling the truth. Then Page says he’s going to finish MJF off,” explains the rest of tonight’s lineup.
AEW World Tag Team Champions FTR and Stokely then come down to the ring. Dax Harwood started by saying that he’s been wondering all week why the Young Bucks had him and Cash Wheeler blindfolded from behind at AEW Grand Slam Australia. He said that in 2016 Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson were the best tag team in the world and coined the term FTR, but now 10 years later they rank second behind him and Wheeler.
Stokely then says that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. And despite the fact that they would never have done that a year ago, The Young Bucks said they shook hands with The Rascals and Private Party after the Triple Threat No. 1 Contenders’ match for the AEW World Tag Team Championship.
Matt and Nick sneak up behind FTR and superkick Harwood and Wheeler, but Stokely keeps blurting out about the Young Bucks’ family. Stokely then slowly turns around when he realizes that Matt and Nick are behind him, begging them not to attack him. Matt and Nick agree for a moment, but then quickly turn around and superkick Stokely. Nick then grabs the microphone and holds up the title belts with Matt, saying that he wants to win the AEW World Tag Team Championship at AEW Revolution. A loud bang is then heard as the Young Bucks climb the ramp and FTR checks on Stokely.
Then, after Grand Slam: Australia, we have a word from Brodie King. He talked about being so close to winning the AEW World Title as the live crowd cheered. King then promises to return to title contention and says he is looking for a match.
Marina Shafir then enters the ring for the next match of the night, followed by Megan Bain, Penelope Ford, Mina Shirakawa, Willow Nightingale, and Harley Cameron.
AEW TBS Championship 4-way match: Babes of Wrath’s AEW Women’s World Champion Willow Nightingale (c) vs. “The Megasus” Megan Bain vs. Death Riders’ Marina Shafir vs. Mina Shirakawa
The match begins with all four women in close-up in the ring. Marina Shafir and Megan Bain team up to defeat Mina Shirakawa and Willow Nightingale. Bane and Shafir then corner Nightingale and both are thrown out of the arena. Nightingale then fires a cannonball at Bane and Shafir. Then Shirakawa comes in with a cross body to the other three. Shafir then defeats Shirakawa. Nightingale then fights Shafir and Bane. Shafir then sends Bane into Nightingale and follows up with a body shot. Bane then hits Nightingale with a top rope hurricanrana. Then Shafir sends Nightingale flying out of the box with a headscissors.
Bane then picks Shirakawa up and throws him at the other contestants. Shafir returns to the ring and goes for the pinfall, but Bane breaks the count. After some exchanges, Bane and Shafir trap Nightingale in a rope and take her down. Shirakawa then uses his quickness to approach the waterfall. Nightingale then took control of the match with three consecutive spinebusters, but was unable to get the three count. Shirakawa and Shafir then fight before Bane and Nightingale defeat them. Nightingale and Bane take each other down with double lariat in the center of the ring.
Nightingale then hits Bane with the Death Valley Driver. Shirakawa then hits Shafir with a DDT, but Bane hits a flying lariat. Afterwards, this act spreads outward, and the alliance between Shafir and Bane no longer exists. After a fierce battle, Bane slams Shafir into the timekeeper’s table. Nightingale then hits Bane with an avalanche German suplex. Shirakawa then hits a top shotgun dropkick and follows up Nightingale with a spinning backfist. Then Nightingale rolls up Shirakawa and wins.
AEW Women’s World Champion Willow Nightingale from Babes of Wrath, winner of the 4-way match and still the AEW TBS Champion!
We then get the AEW Grand Slam: Australia video package, which culminated with MJF retaining the World Title in the main event.
Commentary then addressed the passing of Kevin Silfis, with Tony Schiavone and Bryan Danielson briefly sharing their experiences working with him.
We then return to ringside as “The Hangman” Adam Page descends into the ring. Commentary then talks about no physical action tonight ahead of the world title match at the Revolution. Page then enters the ring and MJF gets down to the ring amidst mixed reactions from the crowd. MJF grabbed the microphone and began cornering Paige, claiming that Paige was not as good as the fans thought. MJF then claimed that he deserved to be AEW’s “main character” more than Page. MJF then said he hates it when the crowd yells “Cowboy St” every time Page walks around. MJF then says that what he hates the most is that Paige has two wins over him, but that Paige was just lucky.
Then MJF says he sees things that the fans don’t see. Then MJF says he can smell it. Then MJF says he can see it in Paige’s eyes. MJF then says something is off about Paige but he doesn’t know why. MJF says Paige may be crazy because her boyfriend Omega and Swerve are fighting, or because she climbed twice to become world champion and both times she collapsed under pressure. MJF said that maybe Page thinks a third title win might help him in the end, but this is not the same guy he faced last year. MJF then says that Page was lucky but thinks he’s out of bullets. And MJF said he looks forward to putting an end to the myth of “Hangman” Adam Page and his “Cowboy ST” on March 15th. This gets a chant from the fans before Paige speaks.
Page then talks about the people who led him to two world titles and watched him defeat MJF twice. Paige then berates MJF for picking a shot at World’s End to win the Great Man’s Loot Collecting title. Paige then says that MJF hates her, but that she hates MJF even more. Paige then says it’s not because of years of lies, deceit, and depravity, but because when she looks at MJF, she has to admit that she’s never met anyone more like him. Paige then says that for all the desperation she sees from MJF, she is nothing more than that and hates it. And Paige said that as much as everyone wants a title, he and MJF always needed it. Page then stated on Revolution that he wanted to end this situation for good.
Paige then says that MJF knows this can’t be just a regular wrestling match. Page then said that why doesn’t MJF come up with terms and suggest it because MJF has always known what this match should be and said that once they decide, they should let the people decide what this match should be. MJF then hears fans yelling “Texas Death” and says Paige is crazy if she thinks they are doing anything other than a regular real pro wrestling match for the world title.
Paige then says she thought MJF would say that because she’s a coward, but she’ll give MJF something if she agrees to this. Page then says that if MJF agrees, he will make a promise to himself and all of these people that if he doesn’t win this championship, he will never challenge for the AEW World Championship as long as he lives. MJF then says that Page may have a contract, but unlike the Cowboys, he doesn’t shoot first and ask questions later, so he’ll need a week to think it over. Page then tells him to think twice about what he wants, as he knows it’s Hangman, MJF, Revolution, and Texas Death. He then dropped the microphone and left the ring as the music played. Then MJF looks nervous or anxious in the ring.
We then head to the backside, where we hear Jon Moxley and the Death Riders (minus the silent wheeler Yuta, who keeps his head low and covered during the Grand Slam Australia match). Moxley calls the group the Coyotes because they are survivors. PAC then says that the Don Callis Family is different from the Death Riders and challenges them to a match of collision. And Garcia says family is more than just a title to them. Moxley then calls Takeshita out for a Continental title match with a no time limit twist. And he says either Takeshita gets him or he gets Takeshita. Moxley then says whatever he needs to say to decide the winner.
Orange Cassidy and Tomohiro Ishii go down to the ring for the next match of the night, followed by Gabe Kidd and Clark Connors.
Tag match: The Conglomeration (“Freshly Squeezed” Orange Cassidy, “The Stone Pitbull” Tomohiro Ishii) vs Gabe Kidd, Clark Connors
The match begins with Cassidy vs. Kid, with Cassidy breaking out of Kid’s reach and teaming up with Ishii. Ishii and Kidd then circle the mat and Connors blindsides Ishii. This leads to Kidd and Connors double-teaming Ishii in the corner, then Connors makes the official tag. After that, Ishii continued to fire shots until he was back on his feet, then delivered a powerful chop that sent Connors into the corner. Cassidy is then tagged and they exchange shots before Cassidy covers for two. Connors then fought back until Cassidy knocked him back and aimed a dive at Kidd, but was caught by the explosives. Connors then blindsides Cassidy again and Kidd drops Ishii.
Cassidy puts his hands in his pockets and tries to take Connors down with a dropkick. Ishii and Kid then team up and they exchange chops before Kid bites Ishii in the head. Kid then flies to the ropes, but Ishii takes him down but blocks a delayed suplex. The two then go back to trading strikes. Kid then flies to the ropes, but Ishii hits a lariat. Ishii then grabbed his hamstring and fell to the mat. Then Ishii also counterattacked. Kidd and Cassidy then fight at ringside, but Darby Allin appears and attacks Kidd. He then takes Kidd with him. Ishii and Connors are court men in the ring. Ishii then hits a brainbuster on Connors for the win.
The winner of the tag team match is The Conglomeration (“Freshly Squeezed” Orange Cassidy and “The Stone Pitbull” Tomohiro Ishii)!
After the match, the referee and Orange Cassidy help Tomohiro Ishii, who is suffering from an injury.
We then head to the back and the Don Callis family starts beating up random guys again as Callis accepts Moxley and Takeshita’s challenge at the Revolution. Okada then said he’s here because he’s the champion, before hyping up “uncrowned world champion” Andrade El Hidro. Callis then offers to challenge Claudio Castagnoli for the CMLL title before the entire Don Callis family shouts.
We then get an episode from Hook, who is appointed the new boss of Ops in light of Samoa Joe’s injury. He talks about the group’s recruitment and response on the domestic side while Katsuyori Shibata heads to Japan to handle international issues.
The Brawling Birds then head to the ring for their next match of the night, but their opponents are already in the ring.
Tag match: Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter, Alex Windsor) vs. B3CCA, Viva Van
The match begins with Vann and Windsor battling it out, with Windsor driving Vann into the ropes with a side headlock and going for a right hand. Vann then starts fighting back before Hater gets the tag and lays Vann out on the mat just to be safe. Windsor then comes in for a double team and both women hit chops in unison that takes Van down hard.
Windsor was then bounced off with a submission attempt, and Vann was able to escape from the corner before Windsor took control. A double team move is dodged and Van rushes off to B3CCA for the tag. She then fights the Brawling Birds and runs to the ropes for a double springboard stunner. Windsor then catches her with a hammer throw to the corner and Hayter hits her into a lariat. Windsor then followed up with a lariat before both women hit double shots and the so-called Two Birds One Stone for the win.
Winners of the tag team match, The Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter & Alex Windsor)!
After the match, Hayter and Windsor celebrate their victory.
We then head backstage where we hear from Chris Statlaender and the returning Thunder Rosa. The two discuss the Triangle of Madness, but Rosa offers to go after Thekla in Statlender’s place since he might be injured in last week’s title match.
Kevin Knight and “Speedball” Mike Bailey then descend into the ring for the next match of the night. JetSpeed gets an insert promo featuring The Beast Mortos, offering LFI a chance to win the trios title if they can defeat Knight tonight. Moltos then goes down to the ring and the match begins.
Single match: Jetspeed’s “The Jet” Kevin Knight vs. LFI’s The Beast Morts
The match begins with Knight forcing Moltos to dive outside. The Knight then brings Mortos back, after which Mortos engages in an agility contest with the Knight. Mortos then takes Knight down hard before sending him into the corner, but Knight narrowly avoids and sends Mortos back to the outside with another big dive to send him to the floor. Knight then hits Moltos with a club blow to the back. Mortos regained control with a bearhug before a rope break was forced.
The Knight then tries to fight back, but is sent flying out of bounds, and this time Mortos flies and sends the Knight flying to the floor. Mortos then brought Knight back into the ring with a lariat in the corner, followed by a huge Samoan drop that sent Knight into the mat for a close two count. Knight then manages to fight back with a dropkick before they both get to their feet, and Knight is sent into the ropes before taking Mortos down. Knight manages to lift Mortos off his feet and hits a bodyslam, followed by a splash for a near fall.
Moltos then blocks a DDT from the corner and goes for a headbutt, but Knight manages to hit a hurricanrana, followed by a DDT. Knight then went up top and hit the UFO Splash for the win.
The winner of the singles match is “The Jet” Kevin Knight of Jetspeed!
After the match, Jetspeed congratulated Knight on his victory.
Then we got a video package where Will Ospreay wants to show that AEW isn’t the place to do the best pro wrestling, it’s the place where Billy Goat does it.
Next, The Demand addresses the World Trios Champions who are competing for the title at Collision at the Jet Set Rodeo. Ricochet then laughs and the two stop when they see a knife on the dressing room door. Then relax before entering the room.
Swerve Strickland then makes his way down to the ring for the main event of the night, followed by Kenny Omega.

The match begins with both fighters actively locking up. Strickland then lands a shoulder tackle and Omega slaps Strickland. Strickland then returns the favor with a slap of his own.

Omega then lands on the apron as Strickland sizes him up. Strickland then, under the referee’s warning, slammed Omega’s head into the top turnbuckle, continuing to the center turnbuckle as chants of “Fight Forever” erupted from the crowd. Strickland then lifts Omega up and goes for a Vertebreaker, but Omega fights back and hits a snapdragon suplex, sending Strickland into the hardest part of the ring. Nevertheless, Strickland is on his feet while Omega goes for a snapdragon suplex from the apron to the floor. Strickland tries to shake him off, but Omega transitions into a waist lock.
Omega tries to shake Strickland loose, but Strickland gets on the ropes, Omega throws Strickland off the apron and goes for a German suplex, but Strickland gets back up.

Omega then hits a knee strike, but Strickland hits a house call. Strickland then puts a lot of pressure on Omega to win.
Single match winner, Swerve Strickland!
After the match, Strickland had little time to celebrate, coming back with strikes right after Omega. He then pushed the referee out of the ring, took the chain from Prince Nana, wrapped it around Kenny Omega’s throat, and hung it over the top rope. He then let go of the chain before leaving the ring, walking away from the announce desk and holding on to the ring steps. Strickland then takes Omega to the stairs and lifts him for a Vertebreaker, driving Omega into the announce desk. Then, as Strickland stands tall, he tells the camera that this is what he needed, and the show ends.
