Konosuke Takeshita retains International Title at AEW Dynamite

AEW Dynamite aired on June 24, 2026 from the Rio Rancho Events Center in New Mexico as the final "go‑home" show before the AEW × NJPW Forbidden Door pay‑per‑view. The night’s headline match saw AEW International Champion Konosuke Takeshita defeat The Demand’s Ricochet to secure his third‑defence of the title.

The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta and Claudio Castagnoli) won a trios bout against Mistico, Bandido and Brody King. Survival of the Fittest TBS Championship qualifiers produced two winners: Harley Cameron over Marina Shafir and Queen Aminata over Red Velvet. Additional singles and tag matches featured Kevin Knight vs. Dezmond Xavier, Jake Doyle vs. Adam Priest, and Swerve Strickland defeating Daniel Garcia.

Backstage segments included a minor slip by Will Ospreay and promos for upcoming Forbidden Door storylines, notably a steel‑cage team match pitting Team Briscoe against the Don Callis Family and the AEW Continental Championship clash between Jon Moxley and Bandido. The event set the stage for the main‑event card scheduled for Sunday in San Jose.
