AEW Dynamite July 22 2026: TNT title retained, trios victory and Redemption PPV buildup

AEW Dynamite aired from The Pinnacle in Nashville on July 22, 2026. Kevin Knight defended the TNT Championship against Darby Allin, retaining the belt with a UFO Splash after a chaotic match that saw the belt used as a weapon. The night’s marquee trios match featured Kenny Omega, Will Ospreay and Jon Moxley teaming to defeat members of the Don Callis Family, setting up further tension ahead of the Redemption pay‑per‑view.

Post‑show, Tony Khan emphasized that Redemption will be a “very important” stepping‑stone to the upcoming All In: London event, hinting at possible free‑agent signings after recent WWE releases. AEW Collision tapings later that night produced several spoilers, including Tommaso Ciampa’s victory over Zachary Wentz, The Young Bucks beating The Death Riders, and qualifiers for a six‑way ladder match at Redemption. Ratings for Dynamite showed a modest rise in total viewers, while Collision’s move to Thursday lowered its audience.

Additional coverage noted former WWE talent Doc Gallows backstage at the Nashville tapings, though no signing was confirmed. Overall, the shows built narrative momentum for Redemption, highlighted ongoing rivalries, and underscored AEW’s strategy of stacking talent ahead of its biggest upcoming event.
