The Dynamite Show returns with a bang! Paul Fontaine and Jeff Hawkins are officially back after a week away, and they have plenty to say about the monumental shift in the wrestling landscape. From the fallout of AEW Dynasty to the crowning of a new king in the Pacific Northwest, we’re breaking down the April 22, 2026, episode of AEW Dynamite live from Portland.
The "New Era" is officially here as Darby Allin makes his first-ever defense of the AEW World Championship. After his emotional win over MJF at Spring BreakThru, Darby returns to his roots to face the "Psycho Killer" Tommaso Ciampa. Is Darby’s reign destined to be a short-lived sprint, or can he withstand the brutality of Ciampa? Paul and Jeff dive deep into the match quality and what this means for the road to Double or Nothing.
On this episode, we discuss:
The Main Event: Darby Allin vs. Tommaso Ciampa for the AEW World Title.
United Empire Explodes: Will Ospreay goes one-on-one with Mark Davis of the Don Callis Family in a personal grudge match.
Stardom vs. The Ace: Mina Shirakawa faces Hikaru Shida in a first-time-ever clash fueled by tension from Collision.
Dynasty Post-Game: Late-breaking thoughts on the title change and the current state of the AEW roster.
With over an hour of expert analysis, we explore the creative direction of the company, the mystery surrounding the attack on Toni Storm, and why Portland was the perfect city to kick off Darby's legendary run.
