Briscoe Drops MJF, Ospreay and Swerve Collide: AEW Dynamite Explodes Before Forbidden Door
AEW Dynamite’s final go-home show before Forbidden Door ended with Mark Briscoe standing tall over the AEW World Champion, and it took a full-blown, ten-man pier-six brawl to get there. Konosuke Takeshita retained his International Championship over Ricochet, Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland traded blows in a heated post-match confrontation, and the eight-match Forbidden Door go-home special closed with MJF accidentally blasting his own ally Andrade El Idolo with the Dynamite Diamond Ring, handing Briscoe the opening to deliver a statement-making Jay Driller.

Will Ospreay vs Swerve Strickland Brawl — The Road to Forbidden Door Heats Up
The two men headed for Sunday’s Owen Hart Foundation Men’s Cup Final spent the night setting the stage without ever actually facing each other in the ring. Ospreay disposed of El Phantasmo with a Styles Clash into a Hidden Blade in a tightly contested opener, while Swerve Strickland survived a stiff fight from Death Riders’ Daniel Garcia, finally finishing him with a House Call after Garcia kicked out of multiple near-falls.
The real fireworks came after the bell. Strickland kept attacking Garcia post-match, prompting Ospreay to storm the ring for the save. Prince Nana tripped Ospreay up, allowing Strickland to connect with another House Call, and when Strickland went for a Vertebreaker on Ospreay, Garcia threw himself in the way and took the move instead. Ospreay grabbed a steel chair, and Strickland bailed up the ramp, posing with the Owen Cup as a parting shot.

Mark Briscoe Drops MJF — Team Briscoe vs Team DCMJF Erupts
Backstage, MJF used the platform to brand Mark Briscoe a “blue collar bitch,” reminding him he’s never been kicked out of a Jay Driller when the AEW World Championship was actually on the line. Briscoe responded later in the show with a promo of his own, vowing to repeat his past win over MJF this Sunday — only for Don Callis to interrupt and MJF to blindside him from behind.
What followed was pure chaos. Kyle Fletcher cut off Briscoe’s attempted Jay Driller with a brainbuster. Takeshita ran in and dropped Fletcher with a Raging Fire, only to be blindsided by Kazuchika Okada’s Rainmaker. Kyle O’Reilly trapped Okada in a submission until Kevin Knight took him out with a clothesline. Darby Allin hit Knight with a Scorpion Death Drop before Jake Doyle interrupted, only to be cleared out himself by Orange Cassidy and Roderick Strong. Finally, Andrade El Idolo arrived to save MJF from another Jay Driller attempt, sparking a tense shoving match between the two that Callis had to break up.
The chaos ended in spectacular fashion. With Andrade restraining Briscoe, MJF slipped on the Dynamite Diamond Ring and swung for Briscoe’s head — only to catch Andrade square in the face instead. Briscoe seized the opening and dropped MJF with the Jay Driller, sending Dynamite off the air with Team Briscoe standing tall just days before their twelve-man steel cage showdown.
Other Key Results: Takeshita Retains, Title Pictures Take Shape
In the night’s official main event, Konosuke Takeshita held off a determined Ricochet to retain the AEW International Championship, setting up his place as part of Team Briscoe at Forbidden Door. The Death Riders — Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, and Wheeler Yuta — defeated Místico, Bandido, and Brody King in trios action, while Zack Sabre Jr. submitted Jack Perry before a post-match attack drew Kenny Omega out for the save against the Young Bucks. Harley Cameron upset Marina Shafir and Queen Aminata defeated Red Velvet to round out the TBS Championship Survival of the Fittest qualifiers.
