For the final Wednesday before Redemption, AEW Dynamite aired from Nashville on TBS, serving as the final stop before the July 26 pay-per-view. It also marked AEW’s last pay-per-view build before All In.
While more matches were expected to be added to Redemption, Dynamite was headlined by a star-studded trios match featuring Kenny Omega, Will Ospreay and Jon Moxley.
Two championships were also on the line. Kevin Knight defended the TNT Championship against Darby Allin, while Divine Dominion put the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championships on the line against Julia Hart and Skye Blue in a No Disqualification Match. Would both champions retain and move one step closer to defending their titles at All In?
All that, and more, went down on this episode of Dynamite:
AEW Dynamite Results For July 22, 2026

- TNT Championship Match: Kevin Knight (c) def. Darby Allin by pinfall to retain the title.
- The Don Callis Family comes to the ring. Mark Davis says Andrade El Idolo has no chance against him at Redemption. Kevin Knight boasts that he broke Kyle Fletcher’s record for most TNT Championship defenses and did it without the Don Callis Family’s help. Fletcher responds by saying he hopes Knight wins the AEW World Championship at Redemption because he doesn’t need the family’s help either.

- Mick Foley welcomes out Thekla and Willow Nightingale for an interview on the stage. Nightingale says it’s nice to stand face to face with Thekla instead of getting attacked from behind and calls Sunday’s title match the only thing standing between her and the AEW Women’s World Championship. Thekla says she isn’t buying Nightingale’s smile, claiming she’s poisoned on the inside and promising to beat the poison out of her.
Nightingale responds that she’s never tried to convince anyone who she is and believes Thekla’s toxic persona is nothing more than a facade. She says Thekla is simply a shortcut to becoming AEW Women’s World Champion.
Foley says he sees similarities between himself and Nightingale, prompting Thekla to tell him to shut up. Nightingale vows to give everything she has to win on Sunday, while Thekla tells her to keep smiling after she loses.
Thekla then strikes Nightingale with the microphone and attempts to hit her with the championship belt, but Nightingale knocks her away.
